Between 12o and 14o Rumanian rail-
way workers will come up before
court martial here tomorrow, for
their activities in the strike of early
this year, when workers occupied
railway yards and we're savagely at
tackled by troops.
Mass pressure has forced the Ru-
manian government to free forty,
others held on similar charges, as
well as Bojur, leader of the Ruma-
MAN workers who had been impris-
oned IA years for revolutionary &C
tivity.
The International Red Aid has
called on all its sections, in every
country in the world, to show their

Committee of 80 to
Carry Out Work
Is Appointed

NEW YORK.-A program of widen
ing and strengthening the workers
trade unions and the workers condi-
tons against the attack Of the Re
covery slavery law was adopted
Saturday afternoon at the meeting
IN Webster Hall attended by over 900
delegates representing A. F. of Il.
locals, opposition groups in the A. F..
OF L., independent unions, unions
affiliated with the Trade Union
Unity League, branches of the In
ternational Workers Order, the
Workmen's Circle, and other fra
ternal groups.
Among the delegates were 2s7 rep
resenting 208 shops.
Over 1000 other workers attended
the conference as spectators.
Terror Part of Slave Act.
Weinstock, of the A. F. of L. Com
mittee for Unemployment Insurance,
outlined the meaning of the Recov-
cry slavery Act, and analysed the
steel, cotton and other codes. Ben
Gold described how the furriers we're
putting up militant battle against
the attempt of the bosses and the
A. F. of L. officials to drive down
the furriers' conditions by forcing
them, through terror, to accept the
A, F. of L. union. This terror, Gold
pointed out, was concrete example
of how the recovery act works in
practice.
The main resolution stressed the
demand for the right of the workers
to join unions of their own choosing,
and for the right to strike. The pro-
gram calls for meetings of workers
in factories to discuss their demands
and to elect delegates to present these
demands in Washington.
Endorse Cleveland Conference
The resolution also endorsed the
Cleveland conference, to be held
Aug. 26 and n, where workers will
be modified on a national scale to
fight the hunger and slavery pro-
gram of Roosevelt
