Dear Sir:—In compliance with your commands, given on your visit to my apartment, Aug. 14, I informed Mr. Schneiderman, that you forbid him to address “People’s Forum,” for the rea- sons, according to your statements: First, That a committee,’ represent- ing over thirty persons, ge hered in the city park, at 7th and California Sbs., informed you, that a sjen printed with red paint, was posted there on the sign board for announeing meet- ings, said sign reading, fWhat the Communists Want, by a Communist.” Second, You thot it out of place, that red paint should be msed, in printing the sign, thereforai had re- moved the sign amid gréat cheers, and sign was then in your-car. Third, That Pasadena ‘Would not allow a Communist to speak,“and San- ta Monica must do the saine. Fourth, The committed was 6o wrought up that they had threatened rough treatment to the speaker, with injury to limb and danger to life, if stated speech were attempted, There- |fore you forbid the speech to be made. | This even after I had informed you |that the “People’s Forum” had invit- ed the speaker to address them, On Sunday, Aug. 5, date of meet- ing, about 75 elderly persons, includ- ing some capitalists, retired business men and representatives from your office met in the city park. The chair- man inquired of me regarding the non- appearance of the speaker. I explained regarding your visit, but was unable to explain what had happened to the committee, that had threatened mob rule with injury or possible loss of life as its aim, and have not seen any account of arrest of such committee. After being informed of your ukase, the meeting voted unanimously to have the speaker appear, and give the advertised address. | As I noticed a flying squadron of | American Legion in the offing, I knew !they would protect an American citi- !zen in his rights which inéludes free |'speech. So I notified Mr.‘ Schneider- |man, who addressed a niéeting last- jing two hours, and a very peaceable meeting it was. As you stated you knew nothing about Communism, I can recommend very highly, a book: I have’ just finish- ed reading. It was written by two men, who have had the extreme hon- of a Communist government, of over 150 millions of peoples, inva country covering one-sixth of the earth’s sur- face, therefore know of what they write, Communism is fast gaining ground in the United States, and’ you will hear more of it in the future. This book can be obtained at The Workers (Communist) Party, 322 W. 2nd St. Los Angeles, Cal. Its title is “The A, B, C. of Communism.” Los Angeles Press Picnic Attracts Rebels for Oct. 12 LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12—A great day for the gathering of rebels.

Points Way For Unorganized to Aid The following message received by the International Workers’ Aid of America from its sister organization in England is of the utmost impor- tance and should be heeded by all workers. The message in substance reads: Unless the millions of workers and friends of labor will come to the immediate assistance of the Brit- ish -miners’ children, wholesale deaths by starvation will be un- avoidable, Government Starves Children, School meals heretofore granted once. a day to the miners’ children have been withdrawn by the author- ities, thus robbing the children of the last governmental support. To counteract this abominable deed we are arranging to distribute 100,000 food packages in the mining districts every week. Each pack- age costs 50 cents and will feed two children. How many friends and workers can you rally in sup- port of preventing actual starva- tion? Who Will Give? The American I. W. A. is conduct- ing a nation-wide campaign in co- operation with its English sister or- ganization, and appeals to all workers and friends to give substantial aid by contributing from $1 to $10 a week, The American Federation of Labor is supporting the British miners thru their affiliated unf™ns. There are, however, some 20,000,000 workers out- side of the American labor movement | who also owe a duty to the miners’ | | struggle in England. These workers are called upon to | forward their donations to the I. W.

I am a department manager in a mail order house here in Chicago and have charge of 28 men under me and it is a dirty shame—the low wages that are paid to the young workers and upon which they are forced to live. The labor men earn $23 per week and the girls earn $10 to $16 per week, while the young men earn $15 to $17 per week for their labor. But it is not my fault on the wage question. I really feel sorry for them, most of them are married and their wives are also working in order to live, That is the reason why so much goods are stolen in our place on ac- count of measly low wages. A great lawyer stated that low wages and un- sanitary working conditions and un- employment are the cause of seven- eights of our crime and vice—divorces, murders and corruption in our coun- try.

Mike had never really thought of the college as a place where one went to learn the sciences—or at least he hadn’t thought of that for many, many years, Heaven and the great vine-covered buildings held equal fascination and charm for him. They both seemed s0 far, so unreachable. The heavy gates of the college seemed to guard some precious supernatural life. “rhe fig- ures that sauntered back and forth thru the gates were like young gods, whose swagger he had tried to imitate as a youngster, whose dress he had copied. in a cheap coarse way when adolescent. The sight of one of these creatures, new and young and fresh each year, like gods that never grow old, even now stirred him with speak- less awe. Even the annual return of the old graduates, years adding to the gray on their temples, did not quite break this charm of everlasting youth, for gray as they may become they never seemed to get old, youth ploomed on their cheeks and sparkled in their eyes. He always watched for the class of ‘°§1, That was the class he would have graduated from had he gotten past his fourth winter at school and had he been one of those born lucky enough to be entitled to such an honor. . . . . *. There they came! He recognized the faces. He missed some of tiem and wondered where they were. Death in relation to these gods never oc- curred to him. His mother had washed for that lad—he had shined the boots of that gray-haired boy. Mike sighed. A youth in a mechanics’ jumper turned to him. “How long have.you lived here, Dad?” ie “All my life; was born here,” Mike answered proudly. “Then you must have known some of these boys in the old days, eh?” Mike put back his narrow shoulders as far as his crooked back would let him and answered, pride in his eyes: “If I had gone to college I'd have been in the class of '81.” The young mechanic looked at the shrunken old figure, bloodless and gray besides him, and then at the cess as @ personal savior, and he ig a | W' young old faces that were passing in the special cars for the class of '81. “Why didn’t you go to college?” Mike croaked a little laugh: “Me go to college? My father died when British Youth to Visit Soviet Union LONDON, England — Among the many lessons which the Workers have learned from the general strike is the need for the organization of young workers. The young worker must, like his elder brother, be made to realize his class position, and be made to take his stand in the ranks of the workers, In an interview, H. Starkey Jackson, a member of the London Advisory Committee of the Labor League of Youth, told that a youth delegation is being sent to Soviet Russia to study the conditions of young workers in that country.
