Inns, imprisoned cave explorer, stopped
the vertical digging early this morn

beieng stopped at that depth by falls
of dirt into the pit.
H. T. Carmichael, engineer in charge

and dirt now being worked is as hard
to handle as digging in bag of pea

delayed at least eight hours by slides
Of dirt from the walls Of the shaft.
Ten doctors were summoned to the

LAUNDRY DRIVER
BEATEN BY THUGS;
LOSING ONE EYE
Boss Directing Attack Is
Out on Bail
tspeclaI to rhe Daily Workerl

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-William Ber-
man, president of the Chauffeurs and
Drivers Union No. $40, A. F. of L.,
while at a home collecting laundry,
was attacked in Brownsville, Brooklyn
by thugs armed with gas pipe, struck
on the head and in the face and beat
en- so badly that he had to be taken
to a hospital where it is said he may
recover but will go without the use
of the sight of one eye the rest Of his
life.
The thugs fled to an automobile
driven by the boss VIM. Dorfman of
The Great Laundry and Erasmus
Laundry in which Berman is working.
Dorian was arrested as having led the
attack and later released on bail of
$4,000 on chanrge of assault.
Grows Out of Strike
The case springs out of the strike
now going on in the Clovelen laundry
where the drivers have been out for
Two weeks, demanding the recognition
Of the union and renewal of contract
Berman has been actively engaged in
helping this strike although the
laundry in which he works was not
then on strike. There is fight on in
Brooklyn to establish the open shop
and the union realizes that if the
Clovelen strike is lost all the other
laundries will GUST union workers and
declare their establishments open
shops.
After the beating up of Berman all
the members of Local No. SO were
called to a mass meeting at which a
motion was made to call general
strike of all the laundries in Brown
sville. The international organizer
was on hand and told the members
that if this was done he would de-
clare the strike illegal, and also take
away the charter.
In face of this the motion was lost,
but the workers demanded that a
strike be called in the laundries of
which Dorfman was boss. This was
also opposed by the high official, but
after heated debate and threat of
the workers to go over his head he
agreed to allow a strike to be called
in the Erasmus laundry.
Fight With New Vigor
Thus hampered by the bureaucratic
head the workers went out without
having carried their plans to success,
but in spite of it all they are fighting
with renewed vigor and are deter
mined to win.
A big mass meeting is called for
Friday evening, Feb. 20, at the Brown
sville Labor Lyceum, 229 Sackman
St., where plans will be formulated
for further activities and methods of
fighting the tyranny Of the bosses.
The Workers Party is ably represent
ed by Lena Chernenko, whose aid is
highly appreciated by the strikers as
we'll as of all the members of the
union.

KIDNAPPED BY
PEONAGE farm
Florida Peonage Still
FIOurisheS
lspseIaI to rhe Daily workerl

6. + JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. t6.---
The same Florida peonage farm
whose officials were indicted by the
U. s. government less than two years
ago, after a prisoner was beaten to
death, Is conducting its modern and
lsgaIlzed slavery as openly as over.
This was revealed when w. H. ELI
gan, the Negro porter of the Illinois
Central flier Floridan, who has been
missing since Jan. 26, was found a
prisoner on the farm, having been
kidnapped as he stepped off the train
here.
Nationwide Search Ends.
The prison farm officials had found
It impossible to arrest enough persons
on trumped up charges to assure an
adequate labor supply, and resorted
to kidnapping. A nationwide search
had been in progress to find Elligan,
a resident of Chicago. Elligan was
finally traced to the peonage farm
by Mr.. and Mrs. G. K. Calhoun, Of this
city. They were informed that Eli
gan had participated in a clash be-
tween the races, and was being held
on a charge of causing disturbance
in the city" Evidence was produced
that Elligan was in a different state
at the time the disturbance was al
legged to have taken place, and the
peonage officials were forced to re-
lease him.
LOCALIZED Slavery.
1t is a common practice thruout
the south to secure labor for the large
plantations by framing up Negroes
and migratory workers, sentencing
them to fine, and forcing them to
work the fine out on large planta.
ton. The plantation owner pays the
fine, and owns the worker until 1t is
seen fit to release him.

means OF preventing the coal aust e4-
plosions which take hundreds of lives.
The profit Of the Atlas Powder Co.
in 1924 after all charges had been
paid amounted to $1,609, 94s, equivalent
to more than 20 per cent on the capital
stock. Hercules Powder Co. made 81
156,901 or more than Is per cent on
the investment in common stock If
allowance is made for the 100 per cent
stock dividend of 1922.
2,3s1 Dead In 1924.
The death roll of coal miners in
1924 contained 1881 names. According
to the bureau of mines this was APT
killed per million tons compared with
3.74 per million in 1923. For bituminous
mines the fatality rate increased from
3.46 per million tons to 4.03. Nearly
all this increase was from gas and
dust explosions. The major accidents
In 1924 took 459 lives and the fatality
rate from this cause was nearly double
that Of 1928.
On researches by governments of
the principal coal mining nations to
find explosives less likely to cause
such accidents, the bureau says:
Such Investigations have been sue
cessful and large number of ex-
plosives have been produced that be-
cause Of their shorter, cooler and far
briefer flame have proven In tests
less likely to ignite gas and coal dust.
Gas and Dust Blast Cause.
"Sixty-flve of the explosion disasters
occurring in American mines from
1908 to the early part of 1928 were
definitely found to have been caused
by the ignition of gas and dust by
explosives. The total number killed in
these explosions was 75S. All of these
IS explosions we're found to be due
to the use of non-permissible ex-
plosives. In fact the bureau has no
record of an explosion disaster hav-
ing resulted anywhere, at any time,
in the United States from the use of
permissible explosives"
England compels the use of these
safer explosives. There are less than
half as many miners killed per thou
sand employed as in the United States
If the number of days worked is con
sidered the fatalities per man, a day
in Great Britain are about one-quarter
Of those in American mines. According
to the bureau of mines it is unconsti
tutional for the U. S. government to
prescribe the safer explosives. Bust
ness takes advantage of this to profit
at the expense of the lives of wage
earners. s.s.,..Ss

ON POVERTY AND ITS CURE

lished to publish in uniform manner
and at low price, reprints of the
Communist classics and important
new works. Two volumes of this in
valuable addition to the party press
are already published and twelve
more are being prepared. "Lenin-
ism or Trotskyism," world famous and
vastly important, has been made avail
able in pamphlet form. A new book
by Stain on ''The Theory and Practice
OF Leninism" is now completed and
ready for distribution A new and ex-
tremely important text book on Com
munist Political Education, recon-
mended by the c. |. to all of its Sec
lions is now being translated for pub
LEGATION here. The complete works of
Lenin are on the program and will be
undertaken as soon as possible. A
whole wealth Of knowledge is being
opened to the American Communists.
TNHE Workers Party has made great
1 strides forward because of its cor
rect Communist program. How much
more rapidly would we move if the
mass of the party membership could
keep step with the party leadership
in understanding. We have been talk
ing a great deal of "monolithic
party" Until the party has a deep
and widespread Communist under
standing it is nonsense to speak of it
as Bolshevized party. without
Communist clarity there cannot be
correct Communist activity" To be
Communist one must not only be mill
tant but also have clear Communist
understanding. 1t is by participation
both in the class struggle and also in
the study class and in self-education
that Communists are developed.
TINE party is making every effort, by
= means of study classes, and more
particularly by means of its publica-
tions to bring Communist education
to every party member. Let those
who remain untaught answer to them
selves.

All these Wagner excerpts may be

When Nine. Matzenauer did the
''lmmolation Scene" one forgot for the
moment the conventional white gown

than ever the literature of the world
Communist movement is at the hand

tablished a tremendous publishing
plant which is dedicated to the one
task of publishing the best work of

economy has prevailed for just one
reason, so that the financial obstacle
which might prevent many workers
from buying might be removed.

publication Of books and pamphlets
has been prepared, which will be car
