Two Cumberland Communists Arrested On Registration Charge
In Cumberland, Sept 16 two half acknowledged Communist party members William Boyd Coleman and Arthur M Schusterman were arrested in their apartment near the police station for violating the city ordinance requiring local Communists to register at City Hall. Bond set at 200 each awaiting hearings Monday before a police magistrate. The deadline for registration was last midnight as the ordinance passed unanimously in September with ten days to sign up. Police Chief Flynn said officers would weed out known Communists. Mease, active in the Progressive party, and Schusterman and Coleman sought an injunction from the Allegany County Circuit Court arguing the law unconstitutional. Associate Judge Henderson gave the city until Sept 30 to show cause, injunction pending meanwhile. Police Commissioner Long defended enforcement and the ordinance as proper. Those evading the law face up to 100 fine and 30 days imprisonment for distributing Communist literature.
