About Muste. | Recently A. J. Muste organized a | $0- -called “progressive” conference. A general invitation was made to the Brookwood students, but five, who were outspoken in their criti- cism of the right wing policy of Brookwood, were excluded, A few days later Muste announced a meet- ing of all former graduates to vote on the new Brookwood policy. This jmeeting, at which the socialist, Maurer, was chairman, was full of cheap demagogy and steamroller methods on the part of the Brook- wood officials, At this corporation meeting, Muste found great cpposi- tion to his attacks on the Commu- nists and the left wing. When the majority of the students at this meeting were overwhelm- ingly in favor of continuing the dis- cussion, the chairman railroaded through a motion to adjourn.
