LABOR WORKERS Mrs. Wakefield and Arnold Johnson Released on Prom- ise to Leave Kentucky. BY the Assoclated Press. HARLAN, Ky., September 12—Under threat of prosecution on charges of criminal syndicalism if they return to Kentucky, Mrs. Jessie London Wake- fleld, representative of the International Labor Defense, and Arnold Johnson, New York, representative of the Amer- ican Civil Liberties Union, were liber- ated from jail here today and forth- with moved out of the Harlan coal flields. They had been more than a month. Under an agreement with Circuit Judge D. C. Jones and Commonwealth’s Attorney W. A. Brock, Johnson and | Mrs. Wakefleld were given one and two days, respectively, to get out of the State. Brock said they will be prose- cuted on charges growing out of their activities in the coal fields if they ever return to Kentucky. Mrs. Wakefield, 23, a former Univer- sity of Was co-ed, said she Wwould go to her home in Chattanooga, Tenn. Johnson said he would go to Pineville, Ky., for a conference with counsel for striking miners and thence to New York. Held in Default of Bail. Since their arrests here Mrs. Wake- | field and Johnson have been held in jail in default of $10,000 bonds. BAIN FREEDOMs be transferred to another county.” Although Johnson said he had agreed to leave Harlan and Bell Counties only, Brock sald the agreement sitpulated that he stay out of the State. Johnson said he refused to leave the State “because I feel that these Harlan officials have no jurisdiction over the entire State. I agreed to leave Harlan and Bell Counties because I feared the threat to transfer me to an isolated county.” Say Woman Urged Violence. Authorities charged Johnson and Mrs. Wakefield had violated the crimi- nal syndicalism law by stirring up miners and distributing anti-Govern- ment literature. They claimed Mrs. Wakefleld had suggested violence against . Judge Jones and had urged force in releasing accused miners from the Harlan Jail. The indictments against the two were among many returned as a result of labor difficulties which were climaxed May 5 when four men were slain in a clash, near Everts, between miners and sheriff’s deputles. + State troops were sent here and remained several months after the clash. More than a hundred murder indict- ments and numerous less serious in- dictments have been returned in con- nection with the disorders.
