A joint mass meeting will be held tonight at the Hippodrome under the auspices of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League and the American Federation of Labor Leaders of both organizations will speak on the theme: “The Economic Boycott is the Answer to the Nazi War Menace.” This meeting is one of a world-wide series arranged by the World Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi Council of which Samuel Untermyer is president.
