1914.04.23: TWO MALIGN OLD GLORY



April 23, 1914


TWO MALIGN OLD GLORY


SOCIALIST SPELLBINDERS JAILED AFTER MAKING SPEECHES IN CITY HALL PARK.

New York. April 23.—Reba Edelson and Samuel Hartman, Socialist spellbinders, are in a cell wondering whether it is worthwhile to malign the United States flag. They told a crowd in City Hall park that Old Glory was not worth fighting for, and just as the audience started to prove otherwise the police arrested the orators.



"This Mexico fight is just in the interest of the Rockefellers and Guggenheims," shouted pretty Reba Edelson as the bluecoats dragged her from the Statue of Ben Franklin, which she was using as a speaker's stand.
