PUBLIC HOSTILITY
COMMUNISTS IN AUSTRALIA. ONE KNOCKED OFF SOAP BOX. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) Sydney, November 25. In three centres the public feeling against Communists has been translated into hostile acts. At Drummoyne Comrade Thompson was knocked off a soap-box. A wild melee followed, and a revolver was fired. Angry townspeople at Uralla gave a Red speaker until the morning to leave the district. At Croydon Park a Communist speaker was upset from a platform and with two companions was saved from rough handling by the intervention of the police.
