Two thou- sand were present at the largest meeting ever held in this city to hear Robert Richards, Sylvia Lang- don, a Gastonia striker, and Paul Crouch of the All American Anti- Imperialist League. The newspapers here prepared for the meeting by running screaming headlines: “Prepare to Suppress Communists, Say Legionnaires.” Tear Gas. During Crouch’s speech a tear gas bomb was exploded, but the crowd emained. During the whole meet- ag, firecrackers were continuously xploded. The Legionnaires tore up leaflets they snatched away from some girls. Men coming to the de- fense of the girls were beaten. After the meeting, the Legion-! naires followed the speakers for ten blocks, threatening lynching, and at- tempting to force them into cars. Police were present with machine guns during all this time, but did not interfere with the Legionnaires. Police and Legionnaires broke up a large demonstration at Racine, ar- resting Phil Boyer. “here was a successful demon- stration at Rockford. * Resist in Milwaukee, MILWAUKEE, Wisc., Aug. 4. — (Special to the Daily Worker.) Thousands of Milwaukee workers participated in the International Red Day demonstrations here under the leadership of the Communist Party. The demonstration in the downtown section was attacked four times by police of this yellow socialist city administration, but each time the po- lice broke up the procession and meetings the workers reformed at new street corners. Al Davis, Communist Party organ- jizer; John Marks,, Communist Youth League organizer; Ted Witt, and Pe- cer Obechoff were arrested and held under $75 bail each, These arrests follow a week of persecutiof and arrests of Commu- * nists by the Milwaukee sociclist po- lice. Workers were jailed for dis- tributing leaflets explaining to the workers the danger of war and the need to fight it and to defend the Soviet Union. * Leaflets at Arms Factory. (Special to the Daily Worker.) NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 4. — Peter Chuante was arrested distrib- uting International Red Day circu- lars before the Winchester Arms Co. plant here, and held for trial.

Baum was the speaker. The police did not inter- fere. * Militancy In Boston. (Special to the Daily Worker.) BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 4.—Two hundred police in the vicinity of the appointed corner, led by the police superintendent in person, tried to stop 2,000 Boston Red Day demon- strators. Police autos crowded the -urbs, with machine guns and tear gas, etc., in readiness, The crowd of workers walked around the block, all ready to come to the corner at 8 p.m, At that hour, from all sides the workers converged to the cen- tral spot. Israel Binchovsky, chair- man, began to announce the meet- ing, when he was hauled down by several burly cops. Lewis Marks, representing the District Executive | Committee of the Communist Party, ‘jumped up and began to shout: “Down with imperialist war,” He was dragged down. The same re- sponse greeted the efforts of Wil- liam Sroka, of the Young Commu- munist League, to talk. Crowd Cheers U. S. S. R- As one after the other was led away, the crowd shouted “Down with police brutclity,” and kept booing the police. “Long live the Soviet Union” came from hundreds of throats. The police smashed the box from which the speakers were giving their message. They thought the meeting was ever, but they were mistaken. Wil- liam Simons of New York immedi- ately began to speak from the curb, calling on the workers to “defend the Soviet Union, the only working class republic.” He declared “American imperialism is responsible for the attack on the Soviet Union.” Sev- eral heavy-set policemen grabbed | Simons and threw him away. But Simons continued speaking, walking * along the street, toward another cor- ner. ‘The police clubbed the crowd. The complete list of those ar- rested is as follows: Elsie Pultur, Isadore Binchkovsky, Boris Kleid, William Sroka, Arthur Zagaria, Lewis Marks, of Boston, and Wil- liam Simons of New York.

The owner hired scabs, who arrived under a strong police escort. When the workers learned this, they pre- vented the scabs from taking their places, a clash ensued, as a result of which 22 policemen and 11 scabs were forced to barricade themselves in an outhouse, The strikers laid a regular siege to the building, after having cut the telephone wires so that the police could not communi- cate with headquarters. The siege lasted 24 hours until one of the po- licemen succeeded in escaping and getting into touch with Lemberg were immediately sent.

KOYNO, Lithuania (By Mail). The excitement caused by the death sentence against Vosylius, who was involved in the attempt on the life of Prime Minister Woldemars on May 6 seems to have made a certain impression on the Lithuanian court- martial. Under the pressure of in- ternational public opinion further members of the student organization indirectly involved in the attempt were sentenced “only” to long terms of imprisonment instead of to death. One of the accused, Meslius, was sen- tenced to 15 years, two others, Safas and Cepenas to six and four years of penal servitude, « GET YOUR TICKETS FOR THE MOONLITE CRUISE AT THE PD.
