‘HE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SA Charges Too Flimsy, 15 Chin NANKING HEAD ADHEITS LABOR UNIONS BANNED Judge Intended to Fine Each $10, Says The fifteen young” workers and students arrested in Chinatown last Sunday for soliciting funds for the | relief of the Chinese trade unions | were yesterday given suspended sen- tences in their trial before Magis- trate Gottlieb in the First Magis- trates Court, White and Center Sts. The charges against them were too flimsy to be sustained. Robert W. Dunn, secretary of the Committee to Aid the Chinese Trade | Unions, under whose auspices the tag day collection had been made, appearcd on the witness stand to} testify on the standing of the or-| ganization. Gottlieb, in his custom- } ary mama, usurped the power of prosecuting attorney, grilling Dunn in an effort to discover his political effiliation and financial standing. xottlieb contented himself with the | statement that the Committee to | Aid the Chinese Trade Unions should | have “procured credentials from the Chinese consul in New York,” and that “at any rate, the law prohibited those of doubtful or no financial | standing to collect funds for any | cause.” Admits Unions Suppressed. David P. Chow, ghairman of the executive committee of the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) in} the United States, an organization | connected with the labor-betraying | Nanking government, appeared in| court to testify against the commit- | tee. He was questioned by Buiten- lamp, who forced him to admit that there as such an organization as the All-China Federation of Labor Unions. retracting a previous nega- tatement to the judge, He tive s rixq was forced to admit that “the ‘a-*ire~ government in China pro: hi labor unions.” ho complaint was that collections had *-\ made by the organization in violoticn of a city ordinance pro- | hibiting srcl# eollections without the | permit: ef Bird S. Coler, commis- | stoner of the cenartment of public Immediately Jacques . of the International Lal Defense, moved that the case be: dis- ‘ on the ground that such an arce is unconst'tutional as ex- ne to the commissioner of pub-| welfore in that it places an un- reasonable extension of power in the hands of the police. The motion, however, was denied by Gottlieb. Answer to Appeal. Dunn testified that the Commit- tee to Aid the Chinese Trade Unions was organized after an appeal had heen issued by Sou Chao Jeng, chair- | mon of the All-China Federation of Jishor Unions, asking help for the Chinese workers and peasants, whose labor unions had been persecuted and driven underground by the re-| attionary Nanking regime. The magistrate, in suspending | sentence, admitted that he had in-| tended to fine each of the defendants | $10, but that he had changed his mind in the course of the trial. _ THWART POLICE.

The proposal to organize a local section of the Women’s Fed- eration received spirited approval. | Other speakers were Ellen Dawson, textile strike organizer, and Elsie | Pulter of Boston. The Workers International Re- | lief announced they will open two _ special food kitchens for children at | either end of the city. Although | they have been comparatively suc- cessful in extending the campaign | for funds to further sections of the country, the relief organization an- nounced they are in urgent need of funds, due to the increased applica- | tions coming in as the huge strike | completes its eighteenth week.
