upon a plan of action to obtain new

terms for murder in connection with

Trouble was preciritated at the

insisted upon being seated as dele

the Rev. Irwin ST. John Tucker,
recently convicted for violating the
espionage law. Germer later was
seated as a delegate from local
of the United Mine Workers.
Aith0 the radicals were denied
