CHICAGO, Aug. 0---Indictments
were returned against the militant
Hillsboro Eleven, Thursday. by a
Montgomery County Grand Jury.
Reports received today indicate that
other workers were also indicted
The presiding judge suppressed
all details of the Grand Jury hear

The eleven known to be indicted
are all working class leaders who
were jailed two months ago for their
leadership Of the struggles of the

These struggles, which won for the
jobless far improved relief, caused
the businessmen and fascist ele-

The result was the arrests of the
eleven leaders on charges of con-
spiracy to overthrow the govern

just voted are on that charge.
