NEW YORK. September 23.-Feeble

market and late selling knocked lead

existed between bids and offers in

Rotarians Ln Providence Hear
 Bitter Arraignment OF e. o.

Providence, R. l., June 29.-De- scrbing New England as one sec- ton of the country to which loyal Americans might turn if they wish their faith in America and true Americanism restored, Congress man Clare E. Hoffman of Michigan, in a speech before the Rotary club of Providence, R. l., today bitterly attacked John L. Lewis, the C.I.O. and the communist party of Amer ica and warned his audience against permitting them to gain "a strangle hold on any New England indus try.
 Mob Rule Prevails
 We from other states" he said, "Where law and order have been supplanted by mob rule, and where the courts find it impossible to en- force their orders because of the attitude of high government off, cials, looked longingly toward Maine when its courts were able to send Powers Hapgood, communist and Lewis organizer, to jail for con- tempt, with five of his fellows to keep him company.
 We aplauded the legislature of the state of Vermont when it made the sit-down strike illegal thus giv- ing Vermont's law enforcement of- ficeIs full authority to deal with them and now we wonder if the ten lives lost in the Chicago riots and the two lives lost in Youngstown might not have been saved if the Illinois and Ohio legislatures had been equally as courageous.
 'Uncle Toby"
 we read how Colonel Anthony Sunderland and his state police, back by that gran dlod man Cover nor Uncle Toby" Cross of Connec- ticut, threw the sit-down strikers out of plant manufacturing sub marines for the U. s. navy before they had a chance to find their seats, and wish that certain other states, outside of New England, had governors and law enforcement off, CerS of the same caliber.
 You are fortunate" MT. Hoffman continued, "that the flame of the spirit of New England still burns as brightly as it did on the day when 1t lit the fires of human emotions which resulted in the American Re- volution. It was this spirit, written into almost every line of our Con- etitution, which created the great est democracy in the history of civ- 1lized government and which, in the short span of 150 years, turned few struggling colonies into what we think has become the greatest and most prosperous nation on the face of the earth.
 And 1t may very well be that be- cause that flame continues to burn brightly the spirit of New England will once more assert itself throughout this country of yours and mine and send John L. Lewis and his horde of communist gang gters and labor racketeers scurrying \ into their holes like the rats that they are"
 Turing to concrete examples Rep eeSentative Hoffman explained how the citizens of his home state, Mich agan, had lost hundreds of millions of dollars because of what he de- gcribed as Lewis effort to dominate the automobile industry" He said that CIO organizers were already busily at work in the textile, shoe and other industries in New England and urged that all possible steps be taken to prevent them from "ob- taining a stranglehold on any New

England industry no matter how big or how small"
 Public Utilities
 Lewis" he said, "has boasted that he will have the public utility workers in these United States or ganized by the C1O one hundred per cent. Already he has them or ganized in the Pittsburgh district, in Northern Michigan and in South ern Colorado. Can you picture what it will mean if he has them organized one hundred per cent in New England?
 Whoever has control over the switches in the power houses in the United States has control Of American business and industry With 8 twist of his hand he can turn the activities of prosperous community into things so dead that it will make that community seem like a deserted village. With con- trol of the utility workers through out the United States he can, in A hours, create a condition of chaos and destruction which would require generations of pioneers to rebuild.
 Lewis knows this. He boasts cf his power. Are we going to let him get away with it"?
 Representative Hoffman was speaking under the auspices of the Constitutional Educational League with headquarters in New Haven Conn. For almost 20 years the league, founded in 1919 as a patri- otic societl, has been fighting all kinds of radical and subversive movements. Immediately after the luncheon copies of the latest book lets off its press, "Communism's Iron Grip On the CIO", "Battalions of Death" and Stop Lewis and Smash Communism" were distri- buted among the guests.
