Boulder Slips But Rocks
Block Rescue

CAVE CITY, KY, Feb. 4.-Floyd
Collins, cave explorer, who has been
Imprisoned in the entrance Of cave
since early Friday morning. was freed
from the boulder holding his foot this
morning, but a slide in the opening
between him and the mouth OF the
cave will stay his complete rescue for
several hours.
The slide came while Collins was
alone, and none OF the rescuers were
caught behind the rock.
Information was given the rescuers
by Collins, that his feet were free, but
that he was too weak to force his way
to the mouth of the cave.
Shortly after daylight today, when
rescuers had left him. Collins called
TO them that the boulder had slipped
to one side and he was free, but too
weak to crawl out. Before help could
arrive a slide of loose rock closed the
passageway between the man and HIS
rescuers and he was O prisoner again
Work started Immediately to re-
move the barrier, but II is slow and
tedious. Only one man can work at
the digging. and he passes the shale
by hand TO others stationed along the
passageway.

Following publication in The DAILY

letter which was sent to employees of
the Premier Taxi company, urging
them to join, officers of the COM

manager and editors Of The DAILY

The unpopuIarity of the ku klux

when employees Of the Premier

oflcers OF the company took steps
to clear themselves Of suspicion by
Immediately having posters displayed
in all their garages with the follow

ITO all Premier Taxi employees: Be
1t hereby officially stated: Absolute.
ly no Premier Taxi company's officers
or directors are members Of the or

The Premier Taxi company is only
one OF the few taxi companies in
the city of Chicago whose employees
are allowed to join union. 1t is be-
heved In some quarters that the "klan
letter" was sent out by enc Of the
rival companies that refuses to en-
ploy union labor. The Yellow Cab
company is the strongest scab taxi
company in Chicago and spends large
sums of money advertising the vir.

YOUNG WORKERS LEAGUE
FIGHTS SCARE CAMP Align
TO KEEP CHILD LABOR

The capitalist press Is carrying
on "scare" campaign against the
child labor amendment. The liberals
and paclflsts are putting up a weak
fight against Excessive" child la
Dor. AS a result, the amendment
continues to 90 down to defeat in
many states.
The Special Child Labor Edition
Of The Young Worker will contain
a militant program for all those
that wish to actively oppose child
labor and will also carry news Of
the progress of the child labor
amendment In the various states.
The Special Child Labor Edition
will show that all the liberal lead
ers in the fight for the child labor
amendment want is to give the fed
eral government the power to pass
a national child labor law; which
In all probability would be no
more of protection than the Inade-
quate child labor laws existing to-
day In such states as Ohio and I'LL
nols. The Special Child Labor Edi-
ton will show that all the workers
must carry on q united fight under
the leadership Of the Young Work
era League and Workers Party II
they want 10 do anything TO abolish
child labor In AmerIea---and that
definite provisions for the malntsn-
anee Of the children and the reguIa-
ton Of hours for youth labor must
be demanded.

HYATTSVILLE, Md. March "a
The new school building to be
erected this summer at Oxon Hill,
about eight miles below Anacostia
on the Fort Foote Highway. Prince
Georges county, will be a departure
in the design Of such structures in
Maryland, in that the seven class
rooms, auditorium, principals
rooms, library and toilet will all be
located on one floor.
This idea was worked out by
Rossel f. Mitchell, Washington
architect, and means the elimination
of practically all danger to the
children in case Of fire.
Bids for the construction Of this
school were opened yesterday. The
lowest was the Iroquois Engineer
ing Company, Washington, whose
price was $29,975.
This is gratifying to the school
authorities and the architect. 1t Is
said that this price. representing
about $4,000 per classroom Is less
than one-half the cost of similar
rooms in the District Of Columbia.
