YOUNG GIRL SOLD INTO SLAVERY
 'l,> GYPSY BAND

BARTLESVILLE, Ok, Mar 4-The sordd revelations of Katherine Wald, 13-year-old girl, who was sold into slavery to a gypsy prince" by her father, has resulted in dramatic in- vestigation of conditions among gypsy tribes in Oklahoma.
 Authorities are holding King" Una vonwich, chieftain of the tribe in which Katherine was found Steve Mitchell, crown price of the tribe" Katherines gypsy husband, and the father of the girl, while the probe is proceeding under the direction of Mrs Mabel Bassett, state commissioner of charities and corrections.
 Hardly old enough to realize her predicament, Katherine related the story of her experiences from the time she was sold by her father to the time she was apprehended by L. W. Gaston, chief of police of Bartlesville.
 It was just like the stories l read in the books the girl said.
 And her story of the sale has all the elements of a story book romance in spite of it's s0rdidness.
 Several months ago, Katherine re- lated, the Wald family left Ft. Smith, Arkansas, in a covered wagon, travel ing into Oklahoma
 Eventually they came across a band of gypsies. They travelled with them for a while, then Wald established a refreshment stand in a carnival that the Gypsies followed 10 tell fortunes. Katherine worked in her fathers stand, where Steve Mitchell came ire quently to buy drinks and sandwiches.
 He told his stepfather that he was in love with Katherine and the king paid a royal visit to the stand and cast a scrutinizing eye over the girl. Then he opened negotiatios with Katherines father.
 Their parleys finally led to the sign ing of papers-drawn up in drug store in Fort Smith, Ark. by the terms of which the girl became the property of the gypsies. The agree ment specified that the parents were willing to a marriage between Rather inc and Mitchell when the girl became of age.
 However. Katherine said she was given to Mitchell immediately after she joined the gypsy camp. She be- came one of his possessions like his horses and clothing.
 She had been in the tribe six months when Chief Gaston, acting on tip rescued her and arrested Mitchell on the charge of violating the white slave law. The girl was placed in care of a juvenile authority
 Katherine told the Red Cross that she was tired of gypsy life and she was willing to quit the band
 Wald, the girls father, said that he signed the papers, but denies that he received any money consideration
 The girls mother, now living in Muskogee, admitted to officers that she signed papers giving her child away, but like her husband, said they received no money. She said they were poor and that Katherine wanted to wear pretty clothes and travel She said she was willing to take her back again

 Babe Ruth says the coming season probably will mark his last serious effort to break his worlds record of 5o home runs for a season. Which is just the same to the American League pitchers as cutting a convict's term from life to a few months.

Coolidge whether the union men

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Nov. %
Wages of the sheet and tin plate mill
crews working under the union scale
will remain unchanged for the Nov,
Dec, period as the result of the BIZ
monthly examination of sheet sales.
The average sales price of rs, %, 20
gauge sheets (black) was found to

Sept.-oct. period or the same as in the
July-August period.
The examination was held by Jas

the Amalgamated Association of Iron,

President Mike F. Tighe. The volume
of shipments was found to have been
very heavy and if business keeps up
the union committee expect the scale
to be advanced at the next bi-monthly

Bitter experience is teaching the
Filipinos that their fight for liberty
is a struggle against Wall Street.
American workers are also confronted
with the absolute necessity of des-
troying the power Of Wall Street in
their own class interest; for this. If
for no other reason, declares the All
America Anti-Imperialist League in
its latest bulletin, the American work
ers must give unhesitating support
to the demand of the Filipinos for

COOLIDGE GIVES SECOND
LEWIS STRIKE HINT The
SAME SILENCE AS FIRST
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov Pa
The letter Of John L. Lewis to Pres
ident Coolidge, containing a mild
suggestion that II the government
does not intervene to force the OPP
orators to abide by the Jackson
vile agreement, the union may call
a strike in all bituminous fields,
has been considered by the presi-
dent, but comment is withheld.
A similar weak threat was made
some time ago by Lewis, but no
attention was given it, and without
the membership Of the United Mine
Workers force Lewis into a real
strike call, It is unlikely that the
present hint will get great deal
more consideration than the first
one.

tempt to defeat the Commun-
lists.
The government party, under the
leadership of the would-be Greek Mus
solini, Premier Pangalos, did all that
it could to keep the workers of Greece
away from the ballot box and after
the election did all it could to hinder
the counting of the ballots. Many
Communist ballots were destroyed
by them in an effort to defeat the
workers candidates.
Call Reaetionaries' Conference.
Premier Pangalos is now calling a
conference of all the reactionary lead
ers of Greece in order to decide on
steps of crushing their Communist
opposition. Pangalos, who became
premier because of his promises to
end the prosecutions of the workers
and the Communists and who calls
himself an upholder of the republic,
is forced to call. this conference at
which leaders of the two royalist
factions in Greece will meet with him
to devise repressive measures against
the Communists.
To Combat Communists.
In January, the elections to the
Greek senate. which has been created
recently, will take place. In March,
elections will be held for represent
atives to the lower chamber of par
lament, the boule. The conference
being called by Pangalos will discuss
the fusion Of the royalists and the
Pangalos followers into one party to
combat the Communists IN these cleo
tions. The conference also intends to
devise means of keeping the Com
munists OF the ballot.
Declare Elections Void.
In Xanthi and Saloniki, where the
Communists won the municipal cleo

fused to allow them to take their
places and declared the election void
This is undoubtedly what they will at
