KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 24.— Despite the arrest of two members of the Communist Youth League, police failed to break up a workers’ neeting in the Negro section of Kan- sas City, called to protest the sen- tence of the seven Gastonia mill strikers and organizers. Ehel Stev- ens and E, Thomas were arrested, when the police displayed their char- acteristic brutality in attempting to | disperse the workers. After both Ethel Stevens and Thomas had been pulled from the platform, Roy Stephens, District Or- ganize rof the Communist Party, ad- dressed the workérs on the Gastonia case and psoke on the need to or- ganize a workers’ defense corps for protection from police attacks at meetings. Six workers joined the Communist Party at the close of the meeting. Further Gastonia protest meetings are planned here. Mi emiak Arrest Daily Worker Agent.
