COMMUNISTS ACTIVE.
ANZAC DAY DEMONSTRATIONS. POLICE DISPERSE A MEETING. DISTRIBUTION OF PAMPHLETS. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel.—Copyright (Received April 26, 11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, April 26. Communists were busy during the Anzac observances. A large force of police was sent to Cessnock, When it was learned that the Reds had arranged to hold a counterAnzac demonstration, returned men from Kurri and Weston rushed to Cessnock to reinforce the procession of Anzacs, fearing the Communists might make a hostile demonstration. Permission was refused the Communists to hold a procession, so they adjourned to a vacant allotment, and a man, said to be a New Zealander, began an address. He was soon arrested, and the police later broke up the meeting. In Sydney pamphlets were distributed, stating that Anzac Day served as a means to revive afresh ideology of British Imperialism, and incite the masses with war fever. Forty spectators, mostly women, were overcome in the dense throng in Melbourne, and fainted.
