 Financier, artist, natter, oyster- man and livery stable proprietor at various times in his long life, Alden Solmans at 95 was the oldest active banker in the United States. At so he began to study art and his spare time hobby blossomed into ability which was rewarded in his 95th year, with opinions of art center critics that his work shown early in this year at the art center in New York City was of fine character.

He obtained meagre schooling in Danbury and served at his trade under an uncle until he built up his own business. In 1874 he was president of the NorWalll Forming company. He lived through the strikes in the trade in 1884 and 1885 when the largest hat plant in the city was dynamited and he protected his own plant from danger.
 Mir. Solmans had been regarded as the father of the oyster industry in Norwalk. Before 1880 he was inter. ested in the cultivation of oysters and was the first to bring seed from Bridgeport to Norwalk.
 In early life he owned a liver, stable on the site of the presen Mahackemo hotel in which fifty years later he lived and in which | he died
 Entered Banking Business He first became connected witt the South Norwalk Savings bank 1T l S67 when he was elected d director He was made president in 1886 ant held this office A years.
 His entire connection with thu bank was 63 years and the institution grew to be one of the most substan tial in Fairfield county. In Novem Der, 1879, Mr. Solmans married Mis- 1 Marie Constance Hotchkiss of New York City and Derby, at Derby.
 They had no children and Mrs | Solmans is the only surviving rela tive. The golden wedding was ob | served in NorWalk last fall.

than nine million workers are out
of a job, and the number is con-
stently increasing. The crisis is deep

the workers into the ranks of the
unemployed. The basic industries of

production, so that as the winted adj

Soviet Union

NEW, YORK.-Demanding an i'm
mediate decision and release of Guido
Serio from Ellis Island because OF
serious illness, the International La
Dor Defense, through its attorney
Carol Weiss King, went before Fed
eral Judge VIM. Bondy late yester-
day afternoon, arguing in behalf of
the militant worker who is about to
be deported to Italy to face firing
squad at the hands of the fascist gov
eminent. Judge Bondy refused to
grant the demands of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and delayed his
decision again on the habeus corpus
proceedings.
Serio is now in Ellis Island with a
temperature of 1903 and growing
worse, according to reports from Wis
itors who have seen him. He is con-
fined in Room 225 with all the other
deportees on the island and cramped
for space as there are about 100 other
men in the same room with him. Un-
der these conditions, the visitors re-
port, it is almost impossible for him
to get better.
When these facts we're presented
to Judge Bondy, who had promised

International Labor Defense de-
manded a decision Immediately since
it had been held up now for months,
the federal judge who had previously

Walk Out When Two

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 18-The
drivers of Perfect Laundry Co. OF
Newark went out on strike yesterday
morning against firing of two drivers
as part of the wage-cutting and
speeding that the bosses are carry
ing on, taking advantage of the I'M
employment situation due to the eco
nomic crisis created by the boss
system,
AS soon as the workers walked out
spontaneously against the firing OF
their two comrades. the bosses hired
scabs to man their trucks; among
these scabs is one by the name OF
John Wysochansky, member OF the
Ukrainian fascist organization "Obra-
ma Ukraina" who has made the scab-
bling a profession; he scabbed in the
baby carriage strike too.
The A. F. of L. takers have been
shopping around to get control of
the strike and sell it out as they have
done with the strikes before, but the
workers are rightfully suspicious.
The Trade Union Unity League
organizer, John Kasper, speaking to
these strikers urged them to imme-
diately get on the job picketing,
spreading the strike to the rest of
the 80 workers In the shop as we'll as
to other cleaning establishments, to
