CAS-
Darrell Figgis Is Suicide Fol-
lowing Death of Rith
North

LONDON, Oct. 27.- Darrell
Figgis, Irish poet and member Of
the Free State Dali, who came
into prominence during the war
with England, was found dead to-
day in room in Bloomsbury, with
the gas jet turned on.
Figgis left behind him a letter
to the coroner, one for publication
In the press, and two for friends
in Ireland. The police took charge
of the letters and it is not ex-
pected that they will be made
public before the coroner's inquest
Is held.
Involved In Tragedy.
Tragic circumstances preceded
the death Of Figgis. Last week he,
was a witness before a coroner's
jury and testified his great friend
ship for Rita North. of Dublin, who
had died in London from the ef-
fects of an operation, after Figgis
had requested her to marry him.
The inquiry into the death of Miss
North was not completed when
Figgis went to his lonely Bloom
bury room and met death, ap-
parently by his own hand.
Figgis was one of the founders
of the Irish Free State. having been
chairman Of the committee which
drafted the Free State constitution
and he was regarded as authority
upon this subject. He has written
much upon the Irish Free State
and its constitution and his writings
have been widely published in the
United States.
Doctors who made an examina-
ton OF the body of Figgis and the
room where he was found intimated
that there was not sufficient gas
In the room to have caused death.
= II is considered possible that Figgis
may have poisoned himself
"The Only Way Out"
'It Is the only way out" declared
one Of the letters found in the
room.
Figgis was one Of those brilliant
personages who lead lives filled
with tragedy. Because of his bear
ing as a poet he did not always
find respect from his more austere
countrymen, and was often sub
Jected to severe criticism and some
times ridicule. For a long time a
violently red beard was a dis
tinguishing mark in the appearance
Of Ffggis. Soon after the signing
OF the Irish treaty, republicans who
were dissatisfied with the treaty at
tackled Figgis and shaved one-haIf
Of his beard off
Figgis never fully recovered from
this indignity.
Wife Was Suicide
IT Is a peculiar coincidence that
the wife of Figgis committed suicide
in Dublin more than a year ago.
She left the 1.-The He'll Fire Club :"
a famous social organization, and
hailed taxi-driver and after enter
ing the cab shot herself.
This tragedy has always remain
ed more or less a mystery. as
Figgis and his wife were very
devoted.
Had Hair Token
BY the side of the bed where
Figgis was found there was a ladys
handbag containing a lock of au-
burn hair. A newly purchased
dagger was also found in the
bedroom.
One of the letters Figgis left re-
ferred to recent troubles he had
experienced with regard to the
death of Miss North.
Rita North was buried in Dublin

.caiIIaux, Refusing to Cult,
Pulls Government Down
With Him
By FREDERICK K. ABBOTT
international News service

PARIS, Oct. 27.-Facing certain
defeat in parliament on its finan-
cial policy, the Painleve cabinet
today resigned and the resignation
was accepted by Presid mt
Domergue.
Failure of M. Caillaux, finance
minister, to bring forth financial
policy that met with the demands
of the parliament, and refusal Of
Caillaux to retire from the cabi-
net forced the entire cabinet to
resign.
Future Is Uncertain.
The decision to resign was reach.
ed at morning session of the cab
met, but the designations were not
handed to the President until 3
o'clock this afternoon, having been
withheld in order that M. BRAND
might preside over the League Of
Nations Council.
The future is uncertain, M.
Herriott, former premier and lead
er Of a strong left party, already
has refused to form a cabinet, it is
reported.
The impression prevails that NJ.
Pafnleve may be induced to form
a cabinet without CailIaux, but CIV
ing representation to the socialists
and the supporters of Herriot.
I'VE are convinced that national
reconstruction is impossible without
the certainty of a stable parliament
tary majority government NJ.
Painleve told the press, as he left
the presidential palace where he had
cVIhY10iffn6 fhA n-f~ ~
cabinet.
I'VE unanimously decided to re-
sign this morning at the cabinet
meeting but postponed handing in
our designations until after the meet
ing of the League Of Nations coln-
Gill;"
"I decided to resign last Friday,
confirming to the views of my
colleagues" said NJ. Painleve;
nevertheless we wished to see M.
BRAND armed with official authority
in attempting to prevent war by
pacification in the Greco-Bulgarian
incident"
The general opinion is that the
Locarno pacts, but its effect upon
the American debt settlement is
questionable.
Initiation Seems Certain
Initiation seems to be certain
under any new cabinet and 1t is
most probable that concessions will
have to be made to the large
group in the chamber demanding
a capital levy. NJ. Caillaux's flat
refusal to treat with the demands
for a capital levy has been largely
for the present situation
Painleve said he had no idea who
would succeed him.
1T haven't an idea who Presi-
dent Domergue will select as my
said the former
premier, whoever succeeds me can
count upon my entire support, for
I will give it like a good soldier
of the Republican army"

RIIY UNION MADE BREAD

Secretary Donnelly, of the Ohio
Federation of Labor, is sending out a
circular to all local unions throughout
the state calling attention to the Bak-
erv and Confectionery Workers I'm
ions fight against non-union bread
and other bakery goods. Especially
does Secretary Donnelly point to the
Ward Baking Company products
which is operating in many cities
throughout the state.
Loads of this company's product are
being shipped into Newark, and sad
to relate, is being sold here. Why
any Newark workmen should pur-
chase non-union bakery products
when so many local concerns are
turning out the best product to be
found anywhere is beyond compre-
hension. Mr.. Workman, don't let any
Newark dealer hand you non-union
made bread when you can buy union
made in almost any store. When you
buy union made bread and other union
made bakery goods, bearing the label,
YOU know you are getting goods made
in clean surroundings. We don't
know that we can say the same for
non-union made goods. Watch for the
label-the bakers union label. Don't
take any others.

UNCLE SAM MAKES GOOD

The newspapers are not giving
much space to the annual report of
the governor Of the Panama Canal
Zone
Perhaps this is due to the fact that
it contains an inspiring story of the
success of government ownership and
operation on gigantic scale and un-
der adverse circumstances.
The effort of private enterprise to
build the canal was tragic failure.
Then the government of the United
States took hold. The canal was dug
at an expense of $378,000,000. Tolls
were made very reasonable so as to
foster trade.
In the early years there were def
icits and the opponents of govern
ment ownership shrugged their
shoulders. "That's what always hap
pens when the government invades
the realms reserved for the captains
of industry" they said.
Now the tide has turned. Last year
the operations of the canal showed a
net profit of $16,307 ,948-enough to
pay per cent on Uncle Sans in
vestment.
For the ten years since the canal
was opened to commence the total
surplus from all operations has been
$33 PAL ,425.-Labor.

The Textile Workers
Labor Long Hours

Concord, N. Cat a meeting of
textile workers Of the two Carolinas
it was reported that girls in some of
the mills are forced to labor 72 hours
a week.
In referring to profits in this in
dustry, Harry Eataugh, United Tex
tile Workers organizer, told of GER
tain mill barons accumulating $780,
100000 in 80 years, when their capi-
tai stock increased to $90,000,000.
More than SO per cent of the mills
that are running 55 hours or more
per week have reduced wages as much
as 25 per cent. The price of cotton
is cheaper than a year ago, while the
cost of the finished product is mount
ing to higher levels almost every day.
The textile delegates declared that if
workers refuse to unite they will be
back whree they We're 25 years ago.

UNIVERSAL DRAFT

Government authorities and various
patriotic organizations are working
on plans for a universal draft law,
whereby capital, material and labor,
as we'll as fighting men, may be
pressed into service in the event of
war.
The grave injustice of compelling
the able-bodied men of the nation to
serve on the battlefield for dollar
a day, while other citizens grow rich
through excessive wars profits, has
been demonstrated to every right
thinking person.
If the money power and big bust
ness know that war means sacrifice
for these interests, as we'll as for the
men at the front, we will find their
influence directed towards peace.
In other words, it should be so that
no person can possibly make money
out of war. And when there is no
money to be made out of war, there
will be less war.
We trust that we may never have
to engage in another armed conflict
but if this can not be avoided, then
everyone should share the hardships
ami the losses which war brings.
The proposed plan for drafting all
the resources of the nation for its
defense should have the hearty sup
port of all citizens.

LABOR CONSCRIPTION

While the public is led to believe
that congress is considering the con-
scription of labor and capital in the
next war, the lawmakers, as a rule,
are considering nothing of the kind.
What they favor is the conscription
of labor and merely the reduction of
profits for the business man.
The youth of the land will be con-
scripted and paid $50 a month, but
capital will not be conscripted. In
stead, the government will say to the
owners of these industrial plants:
"You must be moderate in your prof
it demands"
Most of the lawmakers who talk of
the need for Everybody making sac
rifices" seem to be under the impress
sion that young man who risks his
life in the front line trenches is max
ing no greater sacrifice than the bus
mess man whose profit is limited to
8 per cent. The business man will
be permitted, of course, to make sub
stantial allowance for new equipment
he may install, for depreciation, for
interest and for other charges. These
are all outside of his profit.

CONGRATULATIONS

Our much esteemed neighbor, The
GAINESVILLE Tribune, the live Labor
paper of the Clay City, announces in
its last issue that the fruition of its
most earnest hopes and desires is
near at hand, and that April first
will see the paper issued from its own
plant, free from all outside assist
ance.
1t is the intention of the Tribune
to enlarge the paper to eight pages,
in addition to other improvements
and changes. 1t will thus be enabled
to devote the space necessary to all
news of local interest, especially ev-
erything pertaining to the betterment
of the city it so ably represents.
The Tribune is fearless exponent
of Labor principles, and the Leader
extends congratulations upon its sue
cessful and prosperous career, as evi-
denced by the foreward step contem-
plated in the near future.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
TO ALL

That the coming year OF 1928
may be replete with health, hap
piness and prosperity for our
friends and readers is the sin
cere wish of the Newark Lead
er. May your cup of joy be fill
ed to the brim, and your meas
ure of success be pressed down
and running over. (
We especially desire to thank
those who by their kind Coop
GRAFTON, patronage and good will
have enabled the paper to again
round out another year while
travelling upon the tempestuous
sea of journalistic dangers and
to escape the whirlpools and
rocks of disaster by which some
of the enemies of Labor would
too gladly see us sWamped and
wrecked.
The Leader, ever since it's in
ception has endeavored to pur-
sue the policy which it believed
to be for the best interests of
the working people of the COM
munity, and it will follow such
policy in the future. If mis-
takes have been made they were
committed unintentionaly.
The Leader hopes and believes
that the outlook for the coming
year is bright, and the paper
will in every way endeavor to
assist in promoting the era of
prosperity which is predicted for
1925, especially as regards the
interests Of Newark and its peO-
pie. Let us all put our should
ers to the wheel with the deter
mination to push, and push
strong and hard, for the return
and continuation Of good times
and general prosperity.

Are Now Idle
In Montreal, Canada

Montreal, Quebec-Out of a mem
bership of 44,435 workers in "a un-
ions in this city, there are $500 work
ers unemployed and 20,463 on short
time, according to the central body's
special committee on unemployment.
OF the unions reporting, only three
announce normal conditions.
"We believe" the committee said,
"that the responsibility for coping
with the unemployment situation rests
with the federal government and the
problem is a more serious one than a
war or pestilence. When we were af-
fected by war the federal government
Immediately assumed the command
ing position"

Hard Shedding For
Late Boss Anderson

Ossining, n. Y.-William H. And
erson, former state superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon league, was paroled
from Sing Sing prison and was i'm
mediately taken into custody on two
warrants, charging grand larceny and
eXtortion. Anderson had served nine
months in Jail of an indeterminate
sentence of from one to two years on
forgery charge.
The only person outside the prison
walls awaiting Anderson was Rev.
Charles F. Ross, pastor of the Cen
trail Methodist church Of Yonkers.
Rev. Ross got abroad the train with
Anderson and Detective Paul Kane,
who, as representative of the district
attorneys office had served the war
rants on Anderson.

Unemployed Workers
Commander Church


New York-Demanding a share of
the advertised present prosperity of
the United States, 400 jobless workers
under the leadership of Urban J. Le-
doux, have taken winter quarters in
the Camp Memorial church, in the
Bowery, New York.
Ledoux, who has led dramatic in
tenational career since he left the u.
S. consular service in 1907, feeds the
unemployed men at his Cub" 33 st.
Marks place, which he reopened two
weeks ago when the weather became
icy. For 5 cents any man can get a
bowl of nourishing and tasy soup
(peppered up to suit the mems taste), l.,
bread and coffee. Five cents more
buys a slice Of pie.
Leoux's assistant, Martell keeps a
careful card index of the men in or
der to give them jobs. They are all
hoping for snow, so long delayed,
which will give them work on the
| streets.
Sunday night as Rev. David B. Min
or, tall gaunt, sallow man, was
preaching his last sermon to the
faithful four who attended the Camp
| Memorial church, Ledoux led $50 job
less men into the church in orderly
procession. Most Of the workers slept
through service, drowsy in the
warmth after the freezing air. At
the end Of service LedouX announced
that the men would spend the night
in the church, that true religion was
in good deeds and the pastor could
not turn them out A conference be-
tween the two surviving trustees
soon gave the jobless permission to
remain.
The church is reVerting to the Con-
gregational trustees for lack Of con-
gregation. LedouX has won, with
support of his unemployed marchers,
use of the building and house in it's
/ rear to house jobless workers all win
ter. He says that the municipal lodg-
/ ing house stipulates that guests may
remain not more than one night, a
| left-hand invitation to leave town.
He asks that Wall street habitues
take notice of the Increasing army Of
unemployed in New York and
throughout the country and give out
more jobs. These workers do not
want charity.

are strong and ready to work, not
derelicts of the slums as visiting
newspaper reporters expected. The
average age of the men who lunched
in the narrow basement was 35. Many
of them are old skilled workers cast
off by an economic society that buys
young unframed workers more cheap
ly. Many are prematurely old. Most
OF them talked little and ate quickly
to let the waiting others get to the
table. All of them had been out
since 7:30 a. M, seeking work, most
OF them fruitlessly.
LedouX is from Maine and was Z.
S. consul in Canada, Brazil France
and Prague, Austria. Later he was
with the International Peace Founda-
ton, World City, and during the war
handled employment on the east side
for the U. S. war department. At
that time he got in closest touch with
workers and was later active in the
1921 unemployed demonstrations in
New York, when jobless workers
sought refuge in churches. He at
tempted to auction off returned
soldiers as laborers in Boston and
New York.

PANAMA CANAL TOLL

How costly it is for a foreign ship
for instance to use the Panama canal,
may be seen from the size of the toll
bill rendered to the owners of the
British Ship Hood which passed thru
the canal rather than go around the
Horn. The cost for tolls alone was
$22,399.50 and at that the owners say
it was cheaper than going around the
Horn.
