PITTSB'C TO PARADE
City Council of Chicago
Upholds Police Ban

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -
The permit for the May Day
demonstration in this city,
granted last week, was re-
voked yesterday by the City
Commission. The pretext is
that the demonstration, in
which striking coal and steel
workers will participate.
might be attacked by the White
Legion and other fascist bands.
A committee visited the commits
sion this morning and served notice
that the demonstration will be held,
permit or no permit. The COM
mission declared that the White
Legion is modifying to smash the
May Day meeting. thus hiding its
face behind the White Legion. and
at the same time giving notice OF
the intention Of the city government
to lead the fascist attacks on the
workers assembled in the May Day
demonstration.
The Communist Party answered
this brutal challenge by increasing
its efforts to mobilize the masses,
and issuing new leaflets calling for
"a greater May Day meeting. At
the same time, it was discovered
that leaflets forged in the name Of
the Party were being issued declar-
ing the meeting was called of.
Workers and their organizations
throughout the country are urged
to Immediately wire protests to
Commissioner w. o. Downs, Bir-
mingham Ala, against the ban On
the May Day demonstration and tn
police provocation.
Especial to the Daily Worker
DETROIT, April 25. Another
blow at the Civil rights of the De-
troit workers was struck. last night
by the Common Council when it
decided as permanent policy to
refuse permits to use any Detroit
park for political and religious
meetings. This decision reverses the
policy laid down two years ago by
the Council following a successful
struggle of Detroit workers for the
use Of Grand Circus Park.
The decision is intended directly
to prevent the use of Cadillac
Square which the May Day Com
mittee has requested as an alter
native to Grand Circus Park. This
decision is an admission that Mayor
Frank Couzens and Police Commits
sioner Pickert acted against the
rights Of the workers when they
refused the park.
The pretext for denying the parks
is of the same flimsy stuff as that
used in banning the use of Grand
Circus Park, the Park Commissioner
Henry w. Busch stating that meet
ings we're usually held at right and
required the services Of a man to
handle lights and the public ad-
dress system. It is yet to be seen
whether this decision nullifies per-
mlts already granted to hold assem-
bly, meetings at Perion Park and
Clark Park in preparation for the
parades to Grand Circus Park. It
is obvious that the auto kings in
tend to clamp down tight on work
ing class activities.
The Veterans organizing com
nlittee for the march to Washing
ton May 10 have announced their
intention to participate in the May
First demonstration in behalf Of
their veterans demands. Wide
spread leaflet distribution carried
on against the ban has drawn the
ire of the reactionary Detroit

NRA CODE RULING
PLEASES CO-OPS

Officers of the Scenic City Coop
Oil company were pleased this week
with a statement by Hugh S. john
son, N. R. A. administrator at Wash
ing, clarifying the oil code on the
matter of cooperative retailers.
Principal point at issue was wheth-
er co-operatives may continue to per-
NIT accumulation Of patronage divid-
ends on non-member business until
they equal share of stock which
is issued in turn to the customer.
This has been a practice of the local
company and can continue to be UNI
der the administrator ruling.
The question grew out of rather
ambiguous rule % of the code which
was interpreted by code committees
in Minnesota and North Dakota as
not permitting the practice. Mr..
Johnson's statement this week is the
third from Washington code author
ties on the subject and is regarded as
definitely establishing the practice as
legal.

GOLF CLUB CLOSES
CLUB HOUSE DEAL
Thomas House to be Converted
Into Recreation Center at
Redwood Course

The Redwood Falls golf club, in
corporated II years ago, is at last to
have club house.
Negotiations which have continued
for several weeks were completed
this week with the state highway de-
partment and the club is to get the
William Thomas house on west
Bridge street which was purchased
because the lot was needed for the
rightofway of the new bridge road.
Officials of the club state that the
house will probably not be moved to
the golf links until the latter part OF
July, after it is vacated by Mr.
Thomas.
The building will be located above
the present number 5 green where it
will be remodeled and reprinted Long
porches will be built and other COM
forts added.
Trees will be cleared out, it is plan
ned, to provide a clear view of the
golf course. In short time, shower
baths will be added.
A plan to change the numbering
system on the course so that players
will start on present number five and
play number one after number nine
is also under consideration as an ac-
commodation to club house users.
The addition of a club house will be
distinct asset to the course which is
known throughout southwestern Min
nesota as both pretty and sporty.

was singing German songs. Two mer
across the street, according to Lar.
kin's story, yelled, "Cut out the noise
on the street." and then proceeded ia
cross the street.
"As they approached us, Schneider
said, Hold my coat

his mouth when the taller and heav-
Ter set man of the two struck him
and knocked him down. I ran across
the street to a store with the other
man after me. He just ran half way
and turned back. l went into the
store for a telephone. They had none
however and then l went back to
where Frank was lying with his head
on the pavement"
Mrs. Schneider, the widow and
mother of five children, said that her
husband would always stand up for
his rights. eff he was right, nothing
could move him. I told him many
times that someday he would get in
trouble for his attitude although he
was in the right"
