Minneapolis Strike

blocked the proposal, although
many Of them were curiously silent
when this army Of strikbreakers
was being modified.
While the Minneapolis Journal was
mourning the untimely demise Of
Lyman, the boss deputy, the same
paper published a letter from an
other deputy named Donald Bird
in its correspondence section called
What Other People Think"
AS a special deputy who was in
the thick Of Tuesdays battle"
writes Bird Il would like to ask
who was responsible for sending a
handful Of unframed and unor-
ganized recruits to cope with a mob
Of thousands Of reds and sympa-
thizers.
"Hopelessly outnumbered, We were
cTiminaliy submitted to slaughter
by those whom our presence had
worked up to frenzy Of class hatred
as they swept down upon US from
all sides.
Those Of Us who survived are
lucky to be alive. It is inconceiv-
able that those who are at the head
Of this movement were so ap-
parently ignorant of the situation.
Could they not have learned some
thing from Mondays episode? Had
they known the facts. they would
not have sent us into the most
foolish and mcalled for escapade
in the history of Minneapolis.
With the numbers against US.
we did not have a chance" With
an uncanny sense for accurate
SMILES, the deputy writes that "we
were like rats in trap" Further
more, as far as the strike situa-
ton was concerned, We accom-
plished absolutely nothing. Not a
truck moved before or after this
battle
THE bosses and The city officials
were reluctant to admit that it
was the militancy and heroism Of the
Minneapolis truckmen that brought
about the crushing defeat of the
hired deputies. Consequently, Chief
Of Police Mike Johannes emerged
with statement to the press that
more than 500 Communists and
sluggers from outside the city have
arrived in Minneapolis in the last
week, attracted by the violence, to
add their power to preventing an1ic-
able settlement of the truck strike"
The intrepid chief declared that
they are coming by every train
and in steady stream of outside
automobiles from Chicago, Detroit,
st. Louis and other cities. These
men have no connection with the
strikers but they are here merely
to take advantage Of the disorder
and to cause us as much trouble
as they possibly can. I have adj
yised the military authorities of
their presence and left it to them
to act accordingly" the chief added
significantly.
Continuing, Chief Mike Johannes
said that my policemen counted
70 automobiles with Illinois license
plates parked in the Gateway dis
trict last night and many more
machines from other states"
Just how a license plate from
Illinois or any other state was
proof paramount that it contained
Communists bent on helping to
win the truckmens strike, the
chief, Of course, failed to ex-
plain!

ROOSEVELT JOINS
CITIZENS GROUP
Member of West End Asso.
CiatiOn-MoVie Censor
ship Discussed.

President Roosevelt headed list of
four applicants unanimously voted
membership in the West End Cit
izens' Association last night, during
a meeting devoted largely to discus
sion of proposals for establishing a
censorship commission to pass on all
motion pictures and stage shows pre-
sented in Washington theaters.
Discussion of the censorship pro-
posals was begun after the citizens
had read a letter from Maj. Ernest
w. Brown, superintendent of police,
sent in response to a request for in
formation on the subject.
The letter explained there is no
censorship for the District, except
that exercised by the Police Depart
ment, cooperating with the district
attorney and the corporation coun-
sci. Maj. Brown pointed out that in
his last annual report, he had recon-
mended a board Of censors be eS-
tablished in the District, consisting
of five persons. representative citizens
of the District, to be selected by the
Board of Commissioners, their duty
being to censor all entertainments.
motion pictures and vaudeville shows
in which there is a question involv-
ing public welfare and public de-
cency."
Speaking as delegate to the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, Mrs
Evening star., 1934-03-20

Giles Scott Rafter pointed out that
that association had already gone on
| record as favoring the Patman bill,
now pending, which would create a
Federal censorship commission. She
believes the existence of such a COM
mission would result in production OF
better types of pictures. That the
motion picture executives "are giving
us what we want in the way of enter
tainment as they claim, Is far from
true" she said.
The association took no action on
the matter, however, but referred 1t to
a committee for consideration. Named
on the committee are Mrs. Ratter, A.
C. Barker and William P. Herbst.
The association also considered an
other bill, now pending in Congress,
which would compel owners and
drivers of taxicabs to carry liability
insurance. Mrs. B. M. Manley was
appointed a committee of one to dis
cuss the bill with George Sullivan,
chairman of Laws and Legislation
Committee of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, and report on 1t at
the next meeting.
A request that the Police Depart
ment adopt the practice Of informing
car drivers when their permits are
about to expire, so they will not run
the risk of being caught with a
dead" permit, was asked in another
resolution adopted by the association.
1t was contended the average driver
seldom, if ever, looks at his permit ex-
cept when he is involved In traffic
violation or in an accident.
Upon recommendation by Mrs. Belle
Cutler Parker, chairman of the School
Committee, the group adopted a reso-
luton asking that committee be
appointed to investigate the physical
condition of all the old elementary
schools in the District, with a view
toward enlarging and undermining
where possible. Copies Of this reSo-
luton will be sent to Senators Capper
and King of the Senate District Com
mittee and Representatives Norton
and Cannon of the House District
Committee.

The secretary was instructed to
send a letter to President Roosevelt
welcoming him to membership in the
association, and expressing its graf
itude for the incentive his member
ship gave the drive.
The three other members received
by the association are Vincent Me-
tallo, the Keystone Pharmacy and
William p. Herbst, representing the
