Fascism in Pennsylvania.

In the steel towns of western Pennsylvania a fascist organization, openly advocating mob violence against militant workers and the leaders of the struggle against the steel trust, is being launched by the Americanism Commission of the American Legion under the name of the Constitutional Defense League. The league is headed by Michael P. Kane, present squire and former police chief of Aliquippa, the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation town. Kane has admitted that he is acting under the direction and with the full support of Frank N. Beigrano, national commander of the Legion, and Homer Chaillaux, director of its Americanism Commission.
