ANN BURLAK SECURED BY N. S. L. TO SPEAK FRIDAY

Ann Burlak, one of the outstanding leaders of the Communist Party, has been secured by the Harvard National Student League to speak in the New Lecture Hall next Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Called the "Red Flame" by the press for her activity as an agitator among the working class, she will talk on her experience in recent strikes and the relation of the college student to the working class struggle. All students are invited. Miss Burlak has received considerable publicity, if not notoriety, for a person of her 24 years, and is now Secretary of the National Textile Union.

About two years ago she was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, with five other union organizers, on a charge of inciting to insurrection, based on a law of 1861 designed to prevent a slave rebellion. These "Atlantic Six" are now out on heavy ball. Because of Miss Burlak's deflant challenge to the existing order, and the support she is able to win from her audiences, she has acquired a fairly thorough knowledge of the United States penal system, and mention of her name produces a startling effect upon any member of a "radical squad."
