Startling Rumors Circulat- ed Over Restoration
 of Monarchy

BERLIN, Jan. 3O.-Ado1f Hitler, Chieftain of the Ma tiOnal Socialist Party, was this morning appointed Chan cellOr of Germany by Presi- dent von Hindenburg. Hitler immediately selected his Cab- inet and it was sworn in. Von Papen was made Vice. Chancellor and Prussian Con- missar.
 Hitler finally achieved his ambition but actually it is a compromise Ca b in e t, h e President surr ounding him with Conservatives.
 President von Hindenburg made Hitler swear an oath of allegiance to the Republican Constitution. Hitler reserved for himself the posts of Min ister of Interior and Minister without a portfolio.
 The new Chancellor is only 43 years of age.
 Hitler took the appointment in his usual stride, saying: Well we shall see. Now let's eat"
 Up All Night
 Hitler had been up all night working over his program with President von Hindenburg, who was kindliness itself.
 When Hitler was proposed for Chancellor, the President said "Yes, yes, indeed" and grasped Hitler's hand and made the appointment immediately.
 When the announcement was made, the word was released im- mediately on the streets, jammed with people.
 Startling Rumor
 The appointment was followed by a startling rumor that high army officers, headed by Gen. Kurt von Schleicher who had just resigned as Chancellor, threatened to take the law into their own hands and set up Directorate" as a pre- liminary to restoration of the mon- archy.
 Report Denied
 The rumor was emphatically de- nied in official circles but it of- fered no explanation for the un- precedented haste in which the Hitler Cabinet was formed.
 The story was that President von Hindenburg had been warned by Gen. von Hammerst, Chief of Staff, that unless the period of political uncertainty ended quickly there

Lynch Verdict

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 8.-Ar-
gument for a new trial for Fuel Lee,
6-year-old Negro farm hand framed
on murder charges in Maryland, was
heard before thes U. S. Supreme
Court here last week.
The appeal, carried to the court
by the International Labor Defense,
which has twice saved Lees life SO
far, was argued by Bernard AIDES,
This is the first major case in which
the defense program brought out the
issue Of Negro jurors. 1t was through
the fight made by the I. L. D. in
this case that Negroes were first
called for jury service in Maryland.
No decision on the demand to re-
verse the lynch verdict of death
against Lee has yet been handed
down by the court.
Lee was twice convicted and twice
sentenced to die on the charge of

national strike committee and the
rank and file unanimously rejected
the sell out, that Schweitzer and
Keller executed their right about
face.
Workers Age Supresses Facts
1t is significant that the article in
the Workers Age, the Lovestone
sheet, does not mention single word
about the dye strike. The Workers
Age supresses entirely the fact that
there are $4,000 dye workers on strike
in Paterson and Passaic. The reason
is clear. The dye strike was called
and led by the National Textile
Workers Union, and the strikebreak-
ing role of Keller is most clear in
the dye strike. Keller at the begin
ming Of the silk strike carried on the
strike as "holiday" and advocated
no mass picketing. He entered into
a United Front with the employers
In their competition with the Rayon
manufacturers to secure the same
silk and rayon codes. He did not call
and did not want the dye strike at
all.
The National Textile Workers
Union had already called several
thousand dye workers on strike, was
conducting mass picket lines, and
had forced Keller, through rank and
file demand, to allow mass picket
ing in the silk strike. On the same
day that the NTWU called a general
strike in the dye industry, Keller who
until then had definitely stated he
did not want the dye workers to
strike, called hurried mass meet
ing and the U. T. w. also issued a
general strike call.
But the strike was becoming too
effective and too militant to suit
Keller. So the general strike call of
the AFL to the dyers, issued person.
ally by Keller, called for pacific
strike, and definitely instructed the
dye workers not to picket but to stay
home. The Paterson News stated that
Keller's strike call "defies classified
ton" The day after the mass picket
lines Of the NTWU called on strike
the 1000 employees of the Lodi plant
OF the United Piece Dye Works,
Keller, seeing that he could not re-
strain the workers any longer, is
sued the following statement (Pater-
son News, Sept. 12):
"A decided change In the strike
policy of the A. F. l.. union (dyers)
was announced this morning through

by the storm of protest OF, the rank
and file silk strikers, who overwhelrn-
ingly voted down this sell out. Kel-
Ter remained silent and protected
Schweitzer. Schweitzer then tried to
deny his agreement to end the strike.
Senator Wagner then issued the
following statement, on the hearing
of the N. l.. B., of which he Is chair
man, which made the sell out agree
ment: 1.-THE chairman requested both
sides to name committees for dis
cussion of wages. Selections were
made by the manufacturers and the
representatives of a majority Of the
striking employees. Representative of
minority (N.T.WU.-Ed) refused
the proposed conditions for the call
ing off Of the strike. Representatives
of the majority of the employees
O.T.W-Ed) and of the manufac-
turers therefore entered into confer
ence resulting in the above agree
ment to recommend calling off the
strike and re-opening the mills" i.
Wagner further stated: "An agree
ment was reached at 2:30 this morn
ing between the representatives OF the
silk manufacturers and a committee
of the United Textile Workers Union
(Schweitzer, German, MacMahon
-Ed) and some independent unions.
D.. The parties furthermore agreed
to go back to their people and recon-
mend that the strike be terminated"
After being booed off the platform
OF one strikers meeting, Schweitzer
executed a right about face and is
sued a weak denial that he had
agreed to the sell out. 1.-THE workers
must decide for themselves, and I be-
lieve they will in a day or two" he
said. Keller agreed to these secret
sell out conferences in Washington
and continued to act In harmony with
Schweitzer as leader of the Associa-
ted Silk, throughout protecting Mac
and Schweitzer in these sell
out activities. The part Keller played
in this sell out attempt becomes more
clear when we read the following in
the Paterson News Of Sept. is: 1.-THE
National Strike Committee of the
broad silk division of the q. T. w.
Of A. will vote to recommend TO local
strike committees acceptance Of the

Keller Is Leader of Union in Paterson Which
Agreed to REASONABLE Five Weeks Truce"
and Endorsed NIRA's $13 Silk Code

which is acting in an advisory
capacity to the dyers union. The
passive program announced last
Saturday has been abandoned by the
leadership and from today onward,
the strike policy will be more militant.
This change in policy is another step
in the A. r. L. drive to assume lead
ership in the dyers strike now held
by the National Textile Workers
Union"
In spite of the opposition of Keller,
the rank and file silk workers and
dyers in the U. T. w. have achieved
unity on the picket lines and marched
side by side with the N. T. w. u.
mass picketers in direct violation of
the instruction of their leaders. In
spite Of the role of Keller, covering
up MacMahon's and Schweitzer's and
his own betrayals and sell outs with
"left phrases" the rank and file of
the U. T. w. in Paterson has so far
rejected every sell out proposed by
the U. T. w. leadership.
KelIer's Secret Conference
Keller has throughout the strike
and Is now not only agreeing to
secret conferences with the manu-
facturers about which the workers are
told nothing, but is taking part and
a. leading part in these conferences.
Keller indOrsed the sending back to
work under individual shop agree
ments of three silk ribbon plants in
Paterson on the ground that they are
mot silk mills" But the workers
thought otherwise and over KelIers
head decided to run picket lines and
get these mills, which run with broad
silk looms, out on strike again.
Keller took part in the cooking up
of the latest sell out, the agreement
signed by the U. T. w. Dyers Local,
which Keller told the press he was
giving guidance" This agreement
gives the workers nothing. It sap
peals" to the manufacturer, "in order
to appease those we represent, to grant
us an increase in wages" It gives
the manufacturers the sole right to
fire any worker they see fit. It al
lows discrimination against any ac-
tive striker. It completely gives %
any demands Of the striking dyseS.

struggle, Keller has followed out the
policy of the U. T. w. and Mac
Mahon.
Keller has not once, but many
times, rejected the demand of the
rank and file, both in the U. T. w.
and in the N. T. w. U. and indie
pendent unions, for a solid united
front. Keller personally rejected the
demand Of the rank and file that the
Associated Silk CU.T.W.) join the
United Strike Committee, which has
affiliated to it the entire district
strike committees of Easton and Al
lentown districts, the dye strikers of
Paterson, local unions of the U. T. w.
in the Stroudsburg and anthracite
sections, and number of independent
unions. as well as rank and file dele
gates from the Paterson silk strikers.
Keller rejected even the proposal
of the United Strike Committee that
the Associated Silk Union send a
speaker to the Joint united front
In Paterson, and re-
Jected also the, proposal for a united
front between the dye strikers, led
by the N. T. w. U. and the silk
strikers of Paterson. Keller has at
every step strengthened the manufac-
turers by keeping the workers
divided.
Keller Aided "5 Weeks Truce"
Keller has not only protected Mac
Mahon and Schweitzer, but has been
the main figure in carrying out their
sell out policy. One of the main at
tempts at sell out was the "five

leaders in Washington. The dele
gates of the o. T. w. in Washington
were MacMahon, Francis German
vice-president of the union, and
5chweitzer. The Labor Advisory
Board OF the N, r. A. extracted from
,hese delegates the promise that they
would agree to end the strike on the

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. s.
Attorney Gen. Thomas E. Knight
yesterday threatened the nine in
nocent Scottsboro boys with new
lynch trial at an early date. Ig-
noring the overwhelming proof of
their innocence contained in the
testimony of Ruby Bates, who re-
pudiated as due to coercion her orr
ginal testimony against the boys,
the Alabama attorney general de-
clared he will insist within the next
two weeks on calling formally for
beginning of a new "trial,"
Knight, who was recently shot in
the foot by accident when a depu-
tvs gun went off in the Tuscaloosa
Grand Jury room just as Elmore
Clark, survivor of the recent lynch
orgy there, was being brought into
the room, has now recovered and
