A tribute to the memory of Dr. M. Aroneanu, Rumanian Jewish labor leader who was killed by the police in 1929, was paid today by Ion Niculi, Vice President of Rumania, in a message translated into Yiddish and broadcast over the government radio.
The Vice President praised the work of the Jewish leader “who sacrificed his life for his people.” He recalled the role played by Dr. Aroneanu in the Rumanian trade-union movement in the period 1901-1920, and declared that he had been arrested by the police authorities at Bacau while organizing a strike and killed by strangulation after four days of torture.
