D, April 16—Tom of Cleveland Union By a Worker Correspondent CLEVELAND, April 16—President Livingstone of Local No, 105 of the Carpenters’ Union, has been put under charges for reading a communication of the International Labor Defense before his union. At a recent meeting a letter from the International Labor Defense was received. The secretary refused to read it, whereupon Livingstone took the let ter from him and read it to the body. For this act, he is now being put under charges. Only a month ago, Livingstone was attacked by ruffians as he was enter- ing the union meeting. There was no doubt as to who instigated the at- tack. Livingstone is now paying fur- ther for his courage in upholding pro- gressive ideas in his organization. Kluxer Sways Detroit City Council to Vote $15,000 to His Band (By a Worker Correspondent.)

This being true, Niccoli states the Italians were able “to apply the domi- nant feature of our policy, which has been to make reyolution impotent by cutting off its head.” Callahan said that not one person in 20,000 appreciates symphony music, himself.for one. Evidently he was not speaking for the thousands of people that attended the free symphony con- certs given at the Belle Isle Park. The attendance at these symphony concerts was five times greater than at the brass band concerts. The reason for Callahan’s stand is obvious. He is a dentist, legislator, self-styled music critic, one time kleagle of the local order of kluxers, and last but not least @ brass band master. He found it hard, thru the symphony, to force his 100 per cent brand of music on the people of Detroit last year.
