Today, the members tamed down the phantom menace somewhat, but Insisted the public should be kept vigilant of Its danger. And to give paint to their arguments, they thawed mimeographed circulars that bad been stack In doarways In aeveral parts af tha city aometlma during the night.

Tha circulars were addressed to "Furniture Workers," and. led eff with typewritten line, written In capital letters, "THE ALARM IS RINGING." The pamphlet called Federal Judge Albert L.

Several were posted on bulletin boards at the factory. 'Fascism and War! The communist party af Springfield wishes to point out that unless them rights are prelected they will be token away from us Workera, said the circular.

"Suck a step leads to lew wages, to Fascism, and to War! Yet, yes yon should ge to war for the benefit af hla honor tha Judge and hla "prosperity seekers!" Another liner Prosperity? Not for the Working Class! Never under Capitalism!" Legionnaires were not inclined to take the circular very seriously, They have been plentiful here before. But," said Clyde Ornuby, chairman ef the Americanisation committee, "they didnt take the tourist very seriously In Norway, either." The Legion is not trying to get the public excited, said Curtle Gates, who offered the resolution. On the other hand, we think theres a world of people who apparently don't realize all these In fluences that are brewing. We want to arouse the people to be on guard," ha said.
