1ploJ against the state" The charge
is based on the use of the word
material" in correspondence be-
tween Roumain and st. Juste zamor
of New York, which the government
interpreted to mean bombs and ex-
plosives. This information was re-
ceived today by the International
Labor Defense in a letter from one
of Roumain's defense attorneys. The
letter follows:
I'VE received your letter of Nov.
9 in which you inform us that YOU
are very interested in the case of
Jacques Roumain and would like to
know the charges made against him,
the sentence and the names of the
defense lawyers.
Jacques Roumain has been ac-
cused of a plot against the internal
security of the State. This accusa-
ton was based on the Interpretation
given by a government information
service in New York of the material
used by Jacques Roumain in letter
to st. Juste Zamor, and in a letter
of zamor sent from New York to
Jacques Roumain.
According to this Interpretation,
material means bombs and ex-
plosiveS. Mr.. Jacques Roumain has
protested this Interpretation which
he declares false, stating that the
word material means the books
and pamphlets of the Communist
doctrine.
MIR. Jacques Roumain appeared
alone before military commission
composed of two colonies, two ma
jors and a captain, third major
acting as the military prosecutor.
He was condemned on Oct. % to
three years in prison.
M Francois Noise and myself,
his defense attorneys, have entered
an appeal against this decision. The
Court of Appeals will hear the case
next week.
Sincerely yours,
THOMAS H. LEBAUD."
The LID. has issued an appeal
to all organizations Immediately to
register their protests against the
prosecution of Roumain and against
the state Of terror in Haiti. Protests
should be addressed to Charles Vim
cent, Haitian Consulate, 96 Broad
Street, New York City, and with
President Stenio Vincent, Port au
Prince, Haiti.

Guild Official
To Meet Green
On NJ. Strike.
Newspaper Men Warned
of Anti-Strike Record
of A. F. L. Head

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 2-Emmet
Crozier, secretary of the Newark
Newspaper Guild, which is leading
the strike of the Ledger editorial
workers, will meet with William
Green in Washington tomorrow to
discuss concrete measures of sup
port for the strikers.
Green wired the American News
paper Guild on Saturday offering
such assistance as it is possible to
extend" from the New Jersey State
Federation of Labor. Haywood
Broun, national president of the
Guild, in reply to Green urged the
formation of a committee of New
Jersey labor leaders to advise New
ark guild and give us benefit of or
ganized labor's long experience of
conducting campaigns of this kind"
Late tonight there will be a mass
meeting of the strikers. Delegations
Of newspaper men from Cleveland,
Philadelphia and Wilmington will
participate and extend greetings of
solidarity and support to the strik-
ers.
1t is the tremendous support that
the strike has won, not only from
newspaper men, but from the ranks
of all organized labor that forced
Green to make his gesture of sup
port. On Friday night, the Essex
Trades Council at a meeting en-
dorsed the strike, and voted full
support to the strikers. A commit
tee of five was appointed to organ
lie a labor parade in support Of the
strike. In addition, some ten local
unions of the A. F. of L. have ex-
pressed their support Of the strike
and the issues involved. 1t was not
until these New Jersey A. F. of L.
unions acted in support of the
Ledger strike that Green broke his
silence. He then telegraphed Vim
cent Murphy, secretary of the Es-
sex Trades Council.
The strikers who have so mill
family shown their solidarity on the
picket line should remember that it
was Green who repudiated the San
Francisco general strike at the
crucial moment. It was also Green
who urged the steel workers not to
walk out on the eve of a proposed
strike, and then left them to the
tender mercies of an arbitration
board that has done nothing to date.
He will do nothing but make
promises. The strike can only be
won as it has been conducted 50 far,
by militant picketing and by the
active support of all newspaper men
and all other workers who are will
ing to help the strikers.
The support of the workers in
Newark and nearby cities, especially
A. F. of L. unions, should be &C
tivized. 1t should take the form of
picketing, financial aid and other
expressions of concrete help. It is
important to rally the widest sup
port among all workers. And it is
equally important for the Guild not
to let Green and his official asso-
ciates carry out their well-known
policies OF steering the strike into
ineffective channels.

Labor Temple on a food committee
of the Workers international Relief,
the Women's Councils, the Relief
Workers Protective Union and the
Workers -Servicemen's League.
These groups were planning to go
on the picket line for the first time
to join the strikers and supply them
with hot lunches.
Previously, several organizations
have offered to join the strikers in
mass picketing, which offers to date,
have not been accepted by union Of
ficials.
Quinn was taken by fellow workers
of the food committee to a nearby
hotel, where he went out of one
fainting spell into another. From
there he was removed to the Gen
eral Hospital. His false teeth were
broken and the inside of his mouth
was badly cut. He sustained head
wounds and one arm is believed to
be broken. He also may have in
ternal injuries.

the toilers cannot be stopped by

Estimating the murder as an act
of class-hatred, the workers state:
This loss is indescribably heavy.
But let the class-enemy not rejoice.
The working class is strong and
powerful because it was educated
by men like Kirov. by leaders of the
great Party of Bolsheviks, because
it is led and guided by our bril-

we will still further strengthen our

In all the resolutions the workers
demand a merciless revolutionary

and for those who directed their
hands.
The funeral of Kirov will take
place Dec. 6 in Moscow in the Red

the North Caucasus and the Trans
caucasus.
The proletariat of Baku knew and
valued and loved their leader and
friend Comrade Kirov.
At the Tenth Congress of the
Communist Party Of the Soviet
Union he was elected candidate
of the Central Committee, and at
the Eleventh Congress a member
Of the Central Committee of the
Party.
Passionate Revolutionary
He was q passionate revolution
airy, an irreconcilable enemy of the
slightest deviation from Bolshe-
viSm, LeniniSm. Kirov was a prom
inent fighter for the party, for the
Central Committee, for the victory
of Socialism in the U. S. S. r.
Kirov was one of the first wher-
ever the Party, under the leader
ship of Stain, carried on struggle
against counter-revolution Trot-
skyism, the Zinoviev opposition and
the right opportunists. Kirov was
the nearest colleague, disciple and
friend of Stain.
In 1926 after the defeat of the
zinoviev opposition, Kirov became
secretary of the Leningrad provin-
cial committee of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union, and the
northwest bureau of the central
committee of the Party, and can
didate of the central committee,
and candidate of the political
bureau.
Since 1928 he was secretary of
the Leningrad regional committee
of the Party. Since 1880, he has
been member of the political
bureau of the central committee of
the Party. Since 1884 he was a
member of the Political bureau,
secretary of the central commit
tee, and secretary of the Lenin-
grad regional and city committee
of the Party.
KiroV was a member of the pre-
sidium of the central executive
committee of the Union of Social
list Soviet Republic for many years.
He was the beloved leader of the
Leningrad workers, among whom
he possessed enormous authority.
He was a real tribune whose whole
life was a brilliant page in the
annals of the heroic years of the
proletarian revolution and its ire
mendous gains.
Kirov fought for 80 years for the
cause of the workingclass as a gen.
uine Bolshevik. His death reached
him at his fighting post.

IDUT this counter-revolu-

The power of the Soviet
Union is invincible. The
mighty fortress of Social
ism, within whose gates
the millions march forward
to levels of culture and
well-being unknown to his

by the toiling masses of
the Soviet Union and it's

the devotion and vigilance
of the working class of the
world.
The hand of the exploit

strikes with the hand of
the assassin. But this ter

march of the revolution,
than the dark can halt the
sun.

Protests Urged Against
Terror i'm Danville. Pa.

DANVILLE, Pa, Dec. "A cam
paign of terror has been launched
against the workers here, most of
whom are unemployed, and who are
fighting against evictions under the
leadership of the Unemployment
Councils.
In order to put through an eyic-
ton which was several times stopped
by the workers, State Troopers were
called, and two of the workers,
Harold Thomas and Hubert Buck,
who participated in the eviction
struggle, were arrested.
In protest against these arrests
and the terror, the National Unem-
ployment Councils have called upon
all organizations to send resolutions,
kilograms and protests to: Manley

region.
Great Leader of Working Class
There is no possibility of giving
an appraisal of his activity among
the Leningrad toilers within a brief
mourning letter. 1t would be diff
cult to find in our Party more
suitable leader for the working
class of Leningrad who so ably
welded together all Party members
and the whole working class around
the Party. He created within the
whole Leningrad organization an
atmosphere of Bolshevik organiza-
tional qualities, discipline, love and
loyalty to the cause of the revolu-
tion-an example of which was
Comrade Kirov himself.
you were near to all of us, Com
rade Kirov, as true friend and
beloved comrade and as a reliable
fighter in arms. We shall remem-
Der you, dear friend, till the last
days of our life and struggle, and
We shall feel bitterness at our loss.
You were always with us in the
years of hard battles for the tri-
umph of socialism in our country
you were always with us during the
years of wavering and difficulties
within our Party, you shared with
us all the difficulties of these late
years, and we had lost you at the
moment when our country had
gained great victories. In all this
struggle, in all our achievements,
there is much that is your share
much of your strength, energy and
fiery love for communism. Good

defeated the unsatisfactory con-
tract proposed on November 10, de-
clared, 81 told you last time that
I will bring you no contract unless
it was a good one," and with that
he moved for the adoption of the
contract. Others of the rank and
file representatives of the Settle
ment Committee spoke along the
same line. Vigorito read the con-
tract point by point and it was
adopted by agreement.
AS the roll call of the shop
chairnen was taken, each an
nounced that the shop meeting ap-
proved the contract, accompanied
by tremendous cheering of the mass
of workers. Then by agreement
of the entire mass meeting, the
contract was accepted.
Gains Due to Militancy
1t was made clear to the work
ers that their gains we're due to
the militancy, solidarity and mass
picketing which marked the strike
throughout it's duration; but above
all that the rank and file had held
control and excluded Thomas Nc
Mahon, president of the U. T. w.
and Francis German, the betrayer
of the recent general strike, from
taking hand in the negotiations.
The chief objections to the pre-
vious contract which the higher Of
f1cials of the union proposed on
November 10, but which was re-
jected by the workers, were the
failure to grant the union shop;
no right to strike; all disputes were
left to an arbitrating committee
of five; and other points which
put the workers at a disadvantage.
The union shop clause, however,
became the chief cause for the
deadlock.
Union Shop Won
The following are some of the
changes in the proposals which were
approved Saturday. The union is
recognized to represent all workers
in the industry. Every vacancy left
by a union worker is to be filled by
another union worker. Since the
industry is IS per cent organized
100 per cent in the Paterson area
this will mean in effect 100 per
cent union shop. No hiring of new
workers unless workers in the af-
fected department work at least &C
per cent of full time. The work
week shall consist of SO hours ano
five days, and four hours week
additional is permitted during the
rush season. In the event that 9
worker is called to report for work

The result, was that the Tanks dropped to two and a half games behind the Detroit Tigers in the chase for the American league pen nant, which is getting precariously close to the finishing stages.
 Detroit has lost only one game since the Yankees left the west, and are gathering steam for their encounter with the New Workers starting August IA. Unless the Tanks are within striking dis tance at that time, it is doubtful if their best friends will be able to revive hope and courage.
 Sets Good Exampse
 MT Cochrane personally super vised yesterdays event, clouting long ball in the 10th inning which sent Bill Rogell scurrying home with the run that won, 7-6 from the St Louis Browns.
 After the disastrous first ininng, in which Red Ruffing looked like an extra outfielder throwing in bat ting practice, the Tanks appeared demoralized, and the Washing tonians, led by Joe Cronin who got two triples and a single, steamed home without further trouble, win ming 9-2.
 Cleveland took advantage of three Chicago boots in the opening stanza to take a five-run lead, climaxed by Hal Trosky's homer. It proved enough to give them the game, 11-4.
 Boston took an early lead over Philadelphia, scoring ten runs in the first three heats, and then nearly blew it when Jimmy FoXx smacked his 35th homer with the bases full. The Red Sox won, 11-9.
 Chicago's Cubs clipped game and a half off the New York Gi- ants lead in the National, beating Pittsburg twice, "A and 14-S, while the Giants were losing. They now trail by two and half games.
 Van Lingle Mungo gave the Giants a treatment in curve-ball pitching, allowing them only three hits while the surprising Brook lyn Dodgers shut them out, 20. Mungo and Fred Fitzsimmons of the Giants went five scoreless in- nings before the Giatns cracked on Jackson's error, pacing the way to the first score which Mungo drove home.
 Fidgety Phil Collins presented Boston with a 3-2 decision over the Phillies when he walked Marty McManus in the ninth with the bases loaded, forcing Randy Moore home.
