between the cops and the scalpers
would be an innovation.

The lumber operators are lay

choke further struggles. They
plan to crush and force the
workers to accept this additional
burden of sales tax, speed-up,
lower wages and longer hours.

year have been very effective in
winning the demands of the

to defeat because of the power
a united front places into the

FarquharScn Appe arS
Despite Prs
Intimidation

SEATTLE, Jan. l7-Cheering
wildly at every condemnation OF
William Randolph Hearst and
the fascist editorial policies of his
Seattle Post-lntelligencer, a
crowd of 500 people jammed the
Eagles hall Sunday night to greet
the efforts OF the newly formed
Seattle section Of the American
League Against War and Fascism
to unity Seattle's anti-war, anti
fascist forces.
The mass meeting, called by the
American League, was an Inn
pressive demonstration against
the drift toward war and fascism.
William Randolph Hearst, as one
of the leaders OF this drift, was
subjected to fiery attacks by ev-
cry speaker, and the crowd re-
flecting the mass resentment
against the anti-working class
propaganda Of the multi-million-
aire publisher, applauded loud
and long each time the role OF
the degenerate newspaper rack
eteer was expOsd.
Farquharson Braves Intimidation
Despite the attempt made by
the Post-Intelligencer to force
him to walk out on his speaking
engagement, Professor II. ID, Far
quharsOn of the University of
Washington, appeared on the
program, and urged resistance to
the RECOMMENDATION of the war ma
chine.
The Pr, previous to the meet
ing, made much of the fact that
Dean r. G. Tyler of the U of w,
had retracted his agreement to
address the gathering, and raised
the red scare in an effort to keep
Farquharson and the crowd away
from the meeting.
It's an ill-wind that blows no
one good, however, and the Pts
feverish lies and distortions
about the status OF the American
League Against War and Fascism
only served to advertise and ere
ate interest In the meeting.
Sarcastic Thanks to Hearst
Charles Mccarthy of the Seattle
Central Labor Council served as
chairman of the meeting. McCar-
thy thanked Hearst and the P-I
for the invaluable advertising
given the meeting.
James Dallas, delegate to the
national AFL convention from
the Flour and Cereal Workers
Uniin, and f. M. Weston, secre-
tary of the Metal Trades Council,
urged unity against war and a
relentless battle against the fas-
cist indictments of the Hearst
press.
Speaking for the Communist
Party, Revels Cayton pledged
the Party's support of the Am
erican League, and urged all 9TH
err anti-war, anti-fascist groups to
unite with the Communist Par
ty, under the banner of the
