Chicago Police Break Up Peace Delegates by Gov Lowden Order
Chicago police dispersed about 200 delegates of the People’s Council for Democracy and Peace after Gov. Lowden ordered action. The meeting at the west side auditorium was deemed antiwar and likely to disrupt wartime efforts. Seymour Stedman urged arrest as a test case but police avoided arrests. Delegates dispersed to hotels, with guards remaining at doors. Local officials argued the gathering opposed national aims in the world crisis. The governor stated he would prevent meetings likely to incite disorder and rioting in Illinois. Mayor Thompson was reported indifferent.
