BRANDIES WILL
GET APPEAL OF
JOBLESS LEADERS

But Real Reliance Is
On Mass Demands

NEW YORK.--Because Justice Harlan F. Stone is in Europe the International Labor Defense attorneys today will make their application for an order allowing an appeal in the case of Foster, Minor, Amter and Raymond, to Justice Louis Brandeis, who is now in Chatham, Massachusetts.

The International Labor Defense is determined to carry this case to the United States Supreme Court, alleging that the handling of the case by the New York courts included denial of legal rights to the defendants. They were charged with a misdemeanor, but, contrary to their right, they were held incommunicado, denied bail, and refused a jury trial.

The Parole Commission has recently recommended that their indeterminate sentence be set definitely for six months from the date of their detention in prison, except for Raymond, who gets 10 months. This makes the date of their release October 21, providing the committing judges confirm the recommendation of the Parole Commission.

The date is set so as to prevent their taking much part in the election campaign. Foster is nominated for Governor and Minor and Amter for other offices.

The International Labor Defense has conducted a campaign of protest against the imprisonment of these men which has resulted in resolutions demanding their immediate release signed by literally hundreds of thousands of men and women, workers and sympathizers, throughout the country.
