BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH
international NeMa serrica.

LONDON Dec. ia more ideal
subject for blackmail than Sir
Hurri Singh would be difficult to
find" was the declaration of coun
sci for the Crown in court today.
The occasion was the reopening
of the case against William Goonar
Hobbs, charged with receiving the
check Tor $685. 900 with which Sil
Hurri sought I'd buy silence regard.
ing his amorous adventures with
Mrs. Maude Robinson. M
These adventures and those az
her friend. Mrs. Lillian Bevail.
with Sir Hurts secretary, were
mentioned by the counsel, also. as
"a rather vulgar intrigue"
Ideal Victim.
Continuing the picture of 81
Hurri as an ideal victim for a
aggrandized badger game, the coul.-
sci said.
He was young. gay. fond of so.
ciety ladies. Moreover. he was
fabulously rich. His position was
such that any breath of scandal in
connection with any white woman
would have meant ruin to him."
Counsel for the defense took ex.
ception to the Crown counsel's ref.
erence to Mrs. Robinson, which
were said to imply that she was
concerned in the plot for Fleeing
the young prince.
The prosecutions reply was thar
the crown did not expect to call on
Mrs. Robinson for testimony. The
prosecutor was instructed by the
judge to confine his statements to
the charges he expected to prove.
May Call Sir Hurri.
There still is doubt whether the
East Indian potentate will be a
witness. His chief secretary cabled
the Daily Mail today, In reply to
query that 1t was impossible to
say whether Sir Hurri would come
to London for the trial.
Montague N. Newton also will be
charged along with Hobbs, 1t was
indicated by counsel, but 1t was
said that Newton was ready to give
evidence against Hobbs. Captain
James Charles Arthur, aide to Sir
Hurri at the time of the black
mailing episode, was denounced by
counsel. who then recited the story
of Sir Hurts affair with Mrs
Robinson.
A letter was read which, It IL
| alleged Hobbs wrote to Sir Hurri
1t stated that Robinson had decided
not to sue for a divorce.
Hobbs obtained 10000 pounds, Cap
tain Arthur and Newton the sam'
amount, counsel said. Hobbs ther
wrote Sir Hurri, warning him not t.
communicate with Mrs. Robinson
her friend Mrs. Bevan or with Rob
inson, 1t was charged.

Doctors Unable to, Overcome
Results Of Old Heart Trouble.
Morrison A. F. /. Head

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dee. Is.
Samuel Gompers is dead.
The veteran labor leader, victor
in his determination to make his
last fight on the soil of his home
land, suffered a relapse early to-
day and died at 4:05 a m.
Official announcement of his
death was, made by Chester l.
Wright, press representative Of
the American Federation of
Labor, which Gompers helped or
ganize and which he led as presi.
dent for thirty-seven years.
The body will be taken to
Washington some time tonight.
This was decided upon by Frank
Morrison, secretary Of the fedora
ton, following receipt of tele-
gram from the Capital.
But a few hours before the
relapse which brought his life to
a close just this side of the mile
post marking three-quarters of a
century, the physicians attending
him had issued a bulletin with
a note of optimism, hoping that
he might spend a comfortable
night, although his condition then
was regarded as grave.
Called For His Wife.
The first intimatien that death
was imminent came at 2 a. M.
when members of the Gompers
party were awakened and the
physicians were called in hurried
consultation. His breathing then
was labored and painful and his
vitality low from the struggle
against the bronchial and pneu.
monte condition which had necessi.
tated the emergency trip from
Mexico City.
At 4 o'clock, William Mahon, of
Detroit, an official of the Fedora.
ton, came from Gompers' room
with tears streaming down his face.
He can't last long. It's artific.
ial life" he whispered to another
official.
Gompers knew he was near
death. He faced the dark prospect
with the same spirit he showed
when he answered the physician
who counselled against the return
to the United States and was
told: IF, 1 must die, 1 want to
die at home"
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
federation, sat at the bedside Of
the dying man. Fully conscious,
Gompers reached for Morrison's
hand, and between labored breaths
told him:
Frank, I'm dying. Please send
for my wife"
His death came few minutes
later.
According to DR.. Lee Rice, San
Antonio specialist. Gompers hear
action became weaker and weaker,
failing to respond to final emer,
gency treatment. Three physicians,
Doctors Rice, Hansen and Russ,
who took over the case Friday
night LTOIH LII. w. r. COCkTell,
City of Mexico physician who made
the trip north. were at the bed
side during the night.
Last Official Bulletin.
The last official bulletin issued
was at 10 o'clock last night and
gave Gompers' condition as prac.
tically unchanged and extremely
grave.
Nurse, this is a sad end--Cod
bless our American institutions.

Start Organizing Cam

BY GEO. PAPCUN
Especial to The Daily Wnrker)

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. TO-
As is the case turnout the
country, thousands of young
people who ought to be in
school, are compelled to work
in Cleveland in order to make
up for the inadequacy of the
wages received by the family
bread-winner.
The Young Worker" official
organ of the Young Workers
League Organization of Com
munist working class YOUTH
recently published an expose of
the deplorable conditions of the
young workers in the National
Biscuit company plant in Cleve-
land. The article states:
Young Workers Toll Hardest.
1.-THE young workers employed by
the National Biscuit company do the
dirtiest and hardest work on the
place. Wrapping red-hot cakes that
make your hands bleed, washing choc.
late pans, loading trucks and convey
ors."
Children as young as fourteen years
are said to toll in this sweat-shop,
under pretense of being sixteen, for
nine or nine and one-half hours per
day, and for wages which start as low
as fourteen dollars a week and never
get much higher.
The Cleveland Wooden Mills, the
National Mazda Lamp works, the
steel mills are other places where
young workers slave and toll to turn
out profits for the bosses.
Educate Young Workers.
The Cleveland local of the Young
Workers League is endeavoring to ed
uoate and organize the young workers
to fight for their rights against the
bosses and to help build up the Com
munist movement in order to finally
abolish the capitalist system of ex-
ploitation Of young and old workers.
