Washington, D. c., Jan. ia writ
Of supersedeas was granted c. E..
Ruthenberg, national executive secre-
tary of the Workers (Ccmmunist)
Party by Justice of the U. S. Supreme
Court Louis Brandeis Sunday.
AS soon as the technical details are
arranged Comrade Ruthenberg will
come out Of the Jackson, Michigan,
penitentiary on $500 bail.
Brandeis set the bail at $500 after
Justice McReynolds, who has jurisdic-
ton over most Michigan cases, denied
the writ of supersedeas and refused
to admit Ccmrade Ruthenberg to bail.
Frank P. Walsh Of New York and
Kansas City, and Isaac Ferguson OF
Chicago, made the appeal for the writ
LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
The two lawyers for Comrade Ruth
enberg claimed that the criminal syn
dicalist law of Michigan under which
Ruthenberg was sentenced is mcon
stitutional, as it denies the right o.
free speech and assemblage.
They further declare that no inten
of criminal injury was shown by TIT
Berrien county prosecution. Conrad
Ruthenberg was found guilty of ex
pressing his comunistic opinions, ant
of assembling with" other Commun

received by International, congratu-

Probably the most interesting of
all these kilograms was received
here last night by e. B. Hatrick,
general manager of international
Newsreel Corporation, from M. Gore,
president of the West Coast The
aters. Inc, Los Angeles, who con.
trolls the largest string of motion
pictures on the Pacific coast. Mr..
Gore wired:
II want to congratulate you on
behalf of West Coast Theaters for
the splendid scoop you registered
with the first motion pictures of the
great tornado in the East. These
pictures reached our theaters far
in advance of any others, and
proved to be immensely interesting
to audiences. They brought home
to us here in California the inn
mensity of the tragedy which has
ravaged the midwest, and served
as a. wonderful stimulus in swelling
the subscription fund for the un-
fortunate who lost their homes,
their means of livelihood and their
dear ones in this greatest Of mid
die west catastrophes.
"In this, as in many instances,
International Newsreel helps to
bring US more closely together and
to create a sympathetic fellowship
among the American States. Your
tornado pictures bring home to us,
as nothing else could, the sufferings
of the stricken"

One newspaper in Bridgeport has been publishing the names and amounts contributed by all persons doing their lit for inc community chest. Another paper ihore con- tented itself with publishing th" names of those who contributed moro than S10.
 The object of such publication appears to be 10 shame citizens into giving till it hurts. Why it is the function of newspapers 10 lend themselves to this species Of rraI'r irritation is difficult 10 fathom.
 Newspapers arc not supposed 10 be propaganda organs, no matter how deserving" the propaganda
New Britain herald., 1925-11-27

Merchants Of New Britain this year advise us that they have made special preparations to place Christ mas goods on sale as early as pos sble this year. In fact, as the col umns of the Herald today abundant ly testify, and as the contents of the stores confirm. Christmas goods in profusion are already on display and on sale.
 The object is 10 avoid the much feared Hast minute rush" during ,he few days before Christmas. This may have been somewhat eliminated Curing recent years, as the public has responded 10 the campaign of education regarding the advisability of shopping early. Yet there remains much room for improvement. Mer- chants are at q disadvantage If Christmas shopping IS inordinatcly delayed and late-comers invariably feel the sting of disappointment in one respect or another.
 This year even the post office de- partment has done it's bit to stimu- late the habit of shopping early, as there will be no mail deliveries upon Christmas day. Post office clerks and letter carriers, like shop clerks, arc human beings and want 10 enjoy Christmas instead of working that day or feeling so tired out that they cannot enjoy it,
 Citizens can help themselves and aid in casing up the Christmas ru@I for those whose business entails full UIing the requirements Of tho happl season by getting in line for thpI wants now rather than waiting unit later. It is easy 10 make up lis of what santa Claus is supposed 't proyiIc and th"u do the shopping promptly. Then there will be tha much I,ss to worry about.
