An audience of 10000 crowded

After the singing of the national

Thomas Patrick O'Dea, president of

stressed the need of unity between the
Irish and colored peoples, pointing out
that Frederick Douglass raised funds
for the Irish during the potato famine
of 1848. Henry Winston, colored ma

in a criminal, unjust, imperialist war
when there are 100000 jobless
Americans" The young leader paid

Trotter.
Chairman Frankfeld said that the

"Peace, Jobs. Security, and Civil
