The handbills were particularly numer- ous in the working class sections of the city. Police were kept busy yesterday dispersing groups of spectators who eagerly read the bills. No signature appears on the posters and the gov- ernment is alarmed at what it fears is an organized attempt to lay bare the history of the present adminis- tration as part of an illegal presiden- tial campaign. Arrests were threatened last night but the government has so far re- frained from overt action, presum- ably waiting for an opportunity to present itself.

Thaelmann, of Germany, greeted the meeting in the name of the Presidium of the Sixth Congress of the Commynist International and de- clared that the Second Party Con- gress represented the commence- ment of the struggle of revolution- ary Marxism under Lenin’s leader- ship against reformism in all. pro- grammatical, tactical and organiza- tional questions. Krupskaya, widow of V. I. Lenin, who-partitipated in the Second Con- gress which took place in Brussels, described the congress. The chair- man then read greetings from Clara Zetkin. Thaelmann was presented with a banner. STANDARD OIL RAISES PRICES. CHICAGO, Aug. 1—The Rocke- feller controlled Standard Oil Com- pany of Indiana announced that ef- fective tomorrow morning the price of gasoline and kerosene in its entire territory will be raised one cent a gallon. While the’ company ascribes the rise in prices as due to the increased cost of crude oil, many observers point out that the recent agreement between Standard and Royal-Dutch which set aside 5 per cent of the:cost of the oil purchased from the Soviet Oil Syndicate 4s a recompensation |Arrest Jobless Woman | |Who Said Policeman EXPLAINS TEXAS. | held pending an investigation of & ° |charges against him by Magistrate |Lauderdale Gives Out seeuire in Brooklyn, made by Mrs. Instructions Annie Matthews, 24, a waitress.
