For Trade Union
Democracy
8. In all cases of carrying out
Party directives through the T. u.
fractions, it is necessary to COM
bine the greatest insistence with
the consistent application of trade
union democracy, so that leader
ship by the Party will not reduce
the trade union organization to a
nonentity and will not hinder the
development of the initiative of
trade union workers. If the ma
jority in the leading r. U. organ
or conference or at a general meet
ing of T. U. members are opposed
to some propositions of the Party
committee, then however useful
and necessary this proposition may
be, it should as a rule be with
drawn and not put into force in
the given organization until the
question is discussed again. In
such cases special meetings should
be held in all the lower organs of
the given revolutionary T. U. or
ganization and the question raised
again until it is adopted by the
majority. We must learn not to
force our opinions on people but to
be able to convince those who Ire
mistaken, otherwise we shall neh be
able to win over new sectionN nj
the workers.

Two Threat Letters
Under Comparison In
The Lindbergh Case
One Was Sent Constance Morrow Way Back in 1929
Other Sent to the Col This Year-Botf Almost
Similar

Hopewell, N. j., March 8 --(UP)
- Investigators of the Lindbergh
kidnapping were considering today
the strange similarity between O
threatening letter received by Miss
Constance Morrow, dated April "a,
1929. and one received by the
Lindbergh family dated March 2,
1892.
A paraphrase Of both letters re-
suits In virtually the same central
idea.
The most recent letter received
by the Lindbergh family was Off
cially announced as being adj
dressed to Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh, but 1t was generally under
stood to day that in reality the let
ter was addressed to Mrs Anne
Lindbergh, the sister Of Constance
Morrow.
Following Is the first letter,
which was received by Miss Con-
stance Morrow:

of Rotary Club
Addressed By Roderick

City

Experiences encountered in last
summers Transatlantic cruise in a
boat built by himself and son were
Narrated by Roderick Stephens, OF
New York city to Rotary club
members at their weekly luncheon
and meeting at the Hotel Elton to-
day.
To illustrate more clearly the es-
sence of his address the speaker
showed a three reel film OF the
voyage across the Atlantic. HIS
ship "Dorais" has participated In
many races in New England.
The speaker added little comic
relief to his talk stating that on
the Transatlantic voyage his cook
had q birthday and the "Dorais'
personnel celebrated the occasion
by doing away with los pancakes,
thoroughly convincing the Rotar-
ians that the boys were not
troubled with seasickness despite
the rough waters encountered.

The letter received ut the Lind
bergh home ana now believed to
have been addressed to Anne Lind

firmed as the police adhere to
their original announcement that
1t went to Colonel Llndbergh, fol-
lows:

In all their two score of breaks
in various parts of the state the
youngsters operated without q

pass out the loot to his pal. They

Nitkin's on Walnut street and Me-

the same youngsters who smashed
the plate glass window of South
Main street jewelry store and esq
capped with several watches. They
had planned another jewelry rob-
berry for this week.
The two youngsters were picked
up near Westport by stat troopers
on the technical charge Of speed
ing. They were returning home
from Bridgeport and nearby towns
after trying to dispose of several
boxes OF cigars stolen from Me-
Avoy's pharmacy. They later con-
fessed to Lieutenant William Pol

how they staged u score Of breaks
here In Bridgeport and In New Ha-
