Pedro Penamil Speaks To American Legion Post, Auxiliary Red Influences Factor In Coast Labor Disorders Communists Have Become Strong Minority In Workers' Groups Communism has become a tremendous influence in organized labor on the Pacific Coast, Fred R. Fysh, general manager of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association of Los Angeles, told a mass meeting of Anaheim and northern Orange county residents at the Anaheim union high school auditorium last night. Fysh's subject was, "Labor Conditions on the Pacific Coast." The speaker outlined the growth of communistic strength in the far west, declaring the communist party of the United States was organized in September 1919. That action was followed in 1925 by the formation of the Trade Union Education league, the sole purpose of which was to saturate organized workers with communist propaganda. That league lasted only four years, Fysh declared, and was surplured by the Trade Union MENACE OF RED ADVANCES TOLD Rev. Pedro Penamil Speaks To American Legion Post, Auxiliary The menace of communism to the United States is constantly growing, the Rev. Pedro Penamil, pastor of the Placentia and La Habra Catholic churches told members of the Anaheim American Legion post and auxiliary and friends at a meeting last Monday evening. In discussing the situation in this country the speaker told of his experiences in Spain at the start of the present civil war there and outlined the factors leading up to the war. Communism, fostered and financed by Soviet Russia, gained such a foothold in Spain that the government was taken over by a minority, Rev. Penamil declared. Young girls were sent from Spain to Russia to be educated and became effective and convincing speakers for communism when they returned to their native land, he said. A business meeting of the auxiliary was held prior to Rev. Penamil's address at which time plans were laid for the annual Christmas party. Mrs. Harriet Boyd, Mrs. Florence Smith, Mrs. Jean Gaddis and Mrs. Denny Black were appointed delegates to the county council meeting which was held Tuesday at Newport Beach. The Legion post also held a short business meeting at which time members also formulated plans for their Christmas party to be held December 21, Jimmie Heffron was appointed general chairman. Ray E. Smith reported on the state executive committee meeting in Los Angeles last week and V. Dale Schmid reported on the post's Thanksgiving day party. Special guests at the meeting included Ralph Nicodemus of Brea, Orange county council commander, Harry D. Riley, Melbourne A. Gauer and Arthur M. Bradley. That league lasted only four years, Fysh declared, and was surplanted by the Trade Union Unity league. This organization attempted to gain control of labor organizations, with its main object the American Federation of labor. When the plan of boring into the A. F. of L. had been sufficiently successful the unity league was disbanded with the announcement that communists would try to take over the A. F. of L., the speaker said. It was through these methods, Fysh declared, that communism became an important factor in organized labor. The present strike which is tying up ships all along the Pacific coast is being led by Harry Bridges, who also instigated the maritime strike in 1934 and is an alien and avowed communist, the speaker pointed out. In the 1934 maritime strike the shipowners were forced to arbitrate against their will. Now the shipowners desire to arbitrate, but Bridges refused to consider that method of settling the issue. Labor did not live up to the terms of the 1934 agreement, the speaker declared and does not want to arbitrate now because they declare they will lose what they gained at the close of the previous strike. Conservative workers now out on strike but who desire to return are constantly being threatened by the radical class. The communist influence is also shown in the actions of establishing picket lines around other industrial plants not connected with the maritime strikes and forcibly preventing employees of those plants from working. Ships won't be able to move during December, Fysh declared. The speaker took employers to task for "not treating all employees fairly." He said this situation is now being changed to a large extent, but pointed out that all employers should see to carrying Service Station Is Looted Again For the second time within a few weeks the E. C. Evans service station at 604 E. Center street was entered by burglars who cut a window from the building, it was reported to Anaheim police Saturday morning. The burglary occurred sometime Friday night. Cartons of cigarets totaling $7 in value were stolen, it was reported. The first burglary of the station occurred on the night of November 10 at which time loot valued at $5.50 was taken. Since that time officers discovered the window cut again, but the glass had not been removed. Heffron was appointed general chairman. Ray E. Smith reported on the state executive committee meeting in Los Angeles last week and V. Dale Schmid reported on the post's Thanksgiving day party. Special guests at the meeting included Ralph Nicodemus of Brea, Orange county council commander, Harry D. Riley, Melbourne A. Gauer and Arthur M. Bradley. Speaker Offers Views On Press Oliver Carlson, former University of Chicago instructor, was the speaker at last Friday's meeting of the Anaheim Lions club at the Elks clubhouse, using as his subject, "Political Science." During his talk Carlson touched on the news, editorial and advertising phases of the newspapers of today. He expressed the belief that newspapers present opinions rather than facts in their news columns. The place for the editor's opinions is in the editorial columns, he said. Present methods of advertising are better than they were in the past, Carlson said. Advertisers are telling the truth about their products now, he said. Newspaper readers who read only the first paragraph of a story often get the wrong impression of the facts presented, the speaker declared. WRENCHES STOLEN Theft of two wrenches and pruning shears from his automobile while it was parked in the 200 block on North Lemon street last Saturday evening was reported to Anaheim police by Gus F. Lenain, 613 E. Wilhelmina street.

HOMES ENTERED MONDAY EVENING Loot Taken From Residence of Dr. John Wilson as Family is Present A new series of burglaries broke out in Anaheim last Monday evening when four residences were broken into, although in only two were property losses reported.

Kuchel, recently elected assemblyman from this district, was the principal speaker of the evening. He congratulated members of the two classes on their desire to become American citizens, declaring he believed their decisions to have been made because of unselfish reasons. Kuchel mentioned that while the United States has only a small portion of the world's population it leads the world in matters of business, commerce and government. The United States, the speaker said, was formed, fashioned and created by men born abroad. Since that time naturalized citizens have been important factors in carrying the nation along its path of progress. "We need the type of virile American citizenship that you naturalized citizens represent to solve the present-day ills of the nation," Kuchel told the new citizens.

In any case, it was pointed out by the board, the figures as presented today are no indication the probable cost of the court bond election for purchase or demotion of lands.
