who belong to the American Legion

advised to cooperate with the po-

We likewise disagree with the
writer's proposals of bringing in the

Protective League and the Ameri-
can Legion as a means of keeping
violence and disorder out of strikes.
These organizations have history
of force and violence when they
have entered strikes.

ditions of the postal substitute, in a
letter of his that appeared in st.
Louis newspaper
I think the Daily" should know
the details of this case, so that its
readers can see that behind the
demagogic promises of the Roose-
welt Administration is the mailed
fist that attempts to crush among
its own employees the elementary
individual and organizational rights.
First we saw that John Donovan
was fired from the N. R. A. for dar-
ing to organize those workers and
carry on union activity. This case
was so fragrant that the National
Labor Advisory Board was forced
to reinstate him.
The case of William Hill strikes
again at government workers, this
time at an organization that has
carried on a fight for the improve
ment Of the starvation conditions
Of the postal subs.
w. Rufus Jackson, acting post
master of st. Louis, in threatening
Hill with dismissal, charges him
with "disloyalty to the service, and
disregard for the postal laws and
regulations" in an "offense involv-
ing moral turpitude."
Jackson does not charge Hill with
not telling the truth. The charge
is for daring to open his mouth
and tell what everyone knows, that
Farley has cut the budget at the
expense of the service and at the
expense of the workers. The let
ter was very fair and constructive.

the defense squad we're to be mobi-
lized. A protest meeting was to be
held at any cost. It was also logi-
cal to presume that the police would
not court deliberate exposure before
a great throng of people who were
already informed of the savage at
tacks of the previous meeting.
On the afternoon of Saturday,
August Is, several good protest Let
ters appeared in the Hollywood CiSA-
izen News, as we'll as q news ITEM
stating that the Communists were
absolutely determined to hold this
protest meeting. This news item,
considering the bourgeois source,
was not unfayorable On the con-
trary, it contained mention of the
previous Saturdays fascist attack.
The publicity was good
1t was night, 7:3O PM, the time
scheduled for the meeting. Hun
dreds of people lined both sides of
st. Andrews Pl., as we'll as the
Santa Monica section facing the
free speech zone. The entire red"
squad armed with tear gas guns
and machine guns under the motor
ious Red" Hines, was ready for
action. The vigilante thugs were
here too. Nothing was spared by
the police to create an atmosphere
of terror and impending attack
upon the dangerous reds.
1t was the zero hour. And what
actually happened? Not thing.
The slightest breeze did not disturb
the waiting crowd. A handful Of
comrades met, saw the huge crowd,
the police preparations and beat
hasty retreat.
1t is true that deliberate exposure
to terror should not be courted. 1t
is also true that the comrade who
volunteered to line up the defense
squad failed to carry out his func-
ton and therefore failed to UNDER
stand the full significance of such
a meeting. A splendid opportunity
was lost to make a mass appeal,
however, if not by actually holding
the meeting, then at least by the
distribution of leaflets from roof
tops or the surrounding buildings.
This, comrades, it seems to me
is not the Bolshevik method OF
fighting fascism. A retreat in case
Of such conditions is q certain inyi-
tation to more terror.

JAMAICA, L. Ito All Brothers
of The Big Four:
Remember the maneuvers Of the
Grand Lodges. In the past, their
stock alibi was, I'VE have to give,
that we may get some of the de-
mands from the companies" The
membership protested on awakening
to the fact that we got the bones
and the railroads got the meat.
1t is imperative that the workers
be on the alert. Let us briefly re-
view events of the past few weeks.
An understanding was reached
between the Penn Railroad manage
ment and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Employees, increasing the
mileage rate on the engine men to
be effective Aug. l. This will affect
the firemen in some small degree.
Protests have been called by the
firemen's organization.
The one called in Jersey City
was attended by so or fewer men.
Some debate was held on the mile
age question, resolutions passed,
and copies sent to President Roose-
welt, Perkins, Atterbury, etc. 1t was
brought out by some of the speak
ers that the conditions on other
portions of the road we're intoler-
able, that men 65 years of age were
being fired, and that the average
pay Of extra men at one time was
about $40 a month.
Have we not been told the reason
for our low pay compared to other
crafts was because we always had
steady employment? Well follow

PHILADELPHIA.-The water

port of Philadelphia Through mass
pressure) forced the relief takers to
come across with better relief than
these people had been dishing out
to the seamen in the past.
Here is a brief outline on how we
achieved this.
We sent two mass delegations of
unemployed and employed seamen
to see Mr.. Fink (fink), director Of
the transient relief project at 1011
Locust ST., Philadelphia.
When we did not get any salts
faction from this faker, another
mass delegation of seamen awaited
on Miss Mary Stewart, who was in
charge of the transient relief here
at the time.
When she refused to give us a
definite answer, we held a mass
meeting, right in the transient Of
fices at 1888 Vine st. She tried
in vain to stop the various seamen
who spoke. A picket line in front
of the relief offices was then pro-
posed.
We started to picket and kept it
up for a week. We also elected a
committee of five seamen at a mass
meeting called that same evening
to go to Washington and see F. E.
r. A. Harry Hopkins. When we
arrived there we found the chief
faker was in Europe. We then tried
to see Plunkett. But he happened
to be in New York. We then saw

Lynch, q native Of Australia, was
colonel Of an Irish brigade that fought
on the Boer side against the British
during the South African War. He
was noted physician and psycholo-
gist, a member of the House Of Com
mons and an author.
In the Boer War he joined the
Irish Brigade in the belief that he
would thus strike a blow in behalf
Of Ireland. AS British subject a
warrant for high treason was issued
against him, and when, after the war,
he was elected an Irish Nationalist
member of Parliament from Galway,
Lynch voluntarily surrendered for
trial.
He was formally arraigned in jan
