Communists Call

for a Little Dies Committee"

The Communist Party of
Massachusetts, calls upon the
people to protest H-1OO6. It has
summoned all friends Of civil
liberties to meeting at the
Old South Meeting House on
Friday, April IL, at 3 p m.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Ma

Address at the Seventy
Fifth Birthday celebration of
William Monroe Trotter.
william Monroe Trotter, the
friend of aspiring youth is the
angle considered in my brief
tribute to the martyr for human
rights. We have heard it said
most often that the person
whom children and animals love
and follow is the true through
bred. Children are so near to
Heaven and are still trailing
clouds of glory from God, their
eternal home that they are not
deceived by human frailty and
hypocrisy. Thus it was with Mr..
Trotter in the days when the
girls and boys Of my generation
were growing up, and he was in
the prime of his young man
hood. Children greeted him on
all sides, ran to grasp his hand
and bask in the sunlight of his
magic smile. In our home our
parents had the custom of bring
ing the children to greet all the
celebrities Of that day who used
to grace their salon. Even if it
was bedtime we were allowed to
don best bib n tucker and come
for a few moments to shake the
great hand and drink in few
words of wonder to carry with
us down the GLORY Road"
Bright star in that galaxy of
stars was william Monroe Trot-
ter, Just out of Harvard, first
race recipient Of the Phi Beta
Kappa Key at that historic seat
of learning, prosperous in bust
ness, handsome as Adonis, filled
with the burning zeal of the
seer and the patriot And that
is the shining portrait that has
remained with me all through
the years, plotting out the
weary, snow crowned, tragic
figure of the latter days. We wish
that he were here tonight in the
midst Of his followers and
friends of the Equal Rights
League which he founded to
struggle for the uplift Of his
people and protection of their
rights. we aren't here in thrings
but the loyal and faithful are
here, remembering that quality
not quantity is the test of the
struggle. He has cried Hail
across the Border, but I know
that his spirit is with us, for

improvements for
South End Parks

Representative Laurence H
Banks, during a recent interview
with Park Commissioner Long,
was given to understand that
many needs of Ward 9 controlled
by the Park Department will be
taken care of Immediately.
Banks was assured that $11O0
would be expended this spring
by the department for a hot
water system at the Carter Play
ground. A soft ball court will
be set up to accommodate amng
others two teams fro mthe Shaw
House and the whole grounds
will be raked, rolled and put in
to better shape than ever.
Last year the Boston Giants
in the City League could not
play any Of their games at home
because of the bad conditions
here. The improvements will
enable the Giants and also the
Wolverines to schedule good
home games again.
Madison Park. Banks said, will
soon be spaded and tidied up.
Small children, mothers their
babies will continue to enjoy a
bit of grass while the men will
use the benches which were re-
paired toward the end of last
season. Young boys will be al
lowed to play ball in a limited
area on the SherWin School side
Of the park according to the
plans worked out with the COM
missioner.
For some time, Representative
Banks has been informed, the
women who patronized the
Cabot Street Bath House have
been without hot water showers
on the second floor. Park Com
missioner Long picked up his
telephone during the interview
and gave orders for the bath
house to be fixed up immedi-
ately, which includes also the
roof.
