OAKLAND, Nov. ga forlorn
hope existed today that the ten men
trapped in the Claremont tunnel, Is
miles from here late yesterday. might
still be alive.
The percentage against them, how
ever, is tremendous.
Zone chance In a million"
Officials of the East Bay municipal
utility district, In charge OF the tun-
mel project which was a unit being
constructed TO carry water here from
the Mokelumne river. announced that
ratio.
The men mad two meager chances
Of escaping drowning, the officials
said. In the event the rush Of water
compressed the air sufficiently to
cause landslide, the earth may
have formed barricade against the
torrent. On the other hand, It was
pointed out, the tunnel is irregular
in contour and the men may have
found a haven in an air pocket.
Meanwhile frantic efforts are being
made to reach the men. The food
gates will be opened today In an eff
fort to drain the tunnel.
Ted Chambers, q hoistman, has
volunteered to lower himself into the
shaft to open the gates.
A steady rain which continued
turnout the night was hampering res
cue efforts.

ing regional conferences as e
starter. Representatives Of the
farmerelabor parties of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Montana
and Washington, that have just
come thru a strenuous campaign,
have much in common, and as the
result OF common discussions could
issue a ringing call to the nation.
Or Washington might be the CEN
ter around which to rally the forces
for independent action on the coast,
just as Oklahoma, where a farmer
labor party is In the field, could
serve the same mission In the south,
reaching into Texas and Kansas.
The movement shows some promise
in western Pennsylvania, western
New York and in sections Of Ohio
and Michigan. In Wisconsin the
Berger socialists block the real
unity OF the workers in the political
arena, while in Illinois the labor Of
hctaldom plays the same obstruc-
ZIONIST role. There are some healthy
beginnings in New England, while
New York City offers another CEN
ter OF struggle. Here are opportuni-
ties for sectional gatherings to iron
out many difficulties and pave the
way for the national conference.
In all Of these districts the move
ment has sufficient vitality to move
forward aggressively at the present
time.
Within few days now President
Coolidge will again challenge the
workers and farmers of the nation
with another reactionary message
to be submitted to the short session
Of the present congress. Coolidge's
declarations will, in q sense, be the
planks with which the republican
party intends to fight to retain and
strengthen its control of the capital
list government at the 1928 national
elections. Already Coolidge has
raised the issue Of new tax cuts and
OF baking at entrance into the
world court, in the hope that he will
thus win favor for his administra-
ton in the next congress and at the
polls two years hence.
The capitalist class is farsighted.
1t plans ahead, not only for weeks
or months. but for many years.
Labor must do the same. Re-
peated attacks by the exploiters
against the workers and farmers
have met with no effective counter
attacks. The American working
class is on the defensive.
All the so-called relief confer
ences, called to protect the inter-
ests of the cotton and grain growers,
have been dominated by middle
class interests - lawyer-politician
small bankers, great landlords and
others who feed of the working
farmers.
The decision of the United States
supreme court in the Dorchy case
is only another step toward COM
pletely robbing the workers Of their
right to strike. The growing and
vicious use Of the injunction in labor
disputes also tends in the same di-
rection.
Labor must strengthen its power,
economically and politically. In adj
dition to other important efforts, it
must rally now in support of the
slogan, "a Labor Party in the 1928
Elections!" and assume the often
sive against its oppressors.

Take Up the Discussion
of Immediate Need for
the Farmer-Labor Party
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

THE Minnesota Union Advocate
L rightly takes up the discussion
of the need for q national farmer
labor party.
This is the reply Of the oficial
organ of the Minnesota State Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor and the st. Paul
Trades and Labor Assembly to the
poisonous propaganda spread by the
capitalist press to the effect that the
farmer-labor party in Minnesota had
been liQuidated following the defeat
of Magnus Johnson. candidate for
governor, in the recent elections.
The state farmer-labor ticket
polled more than quarter million
votes out of the 100000 total cast,
which is no cause for weeping. 1t
is a strong basis on which to build
for the future, especially with the
debris left by the disappearance of
the democratic party practically
cleaned away.
Neither can the reported deser-
ton of Senator Hendrix Shipsted,
heralded as an ally of the republi-
can "old guard" in congress, have
much effect on the growth Of the
farmer-labor movement, in Mime
sofa or nationally, which has been
steeled against the passing of rene
gades.
These are the two incidents upon
which the crepe hangers Of the
enemy class have seized in an effort
to convince city and land labor over
the nation that the farmer-labor
movement in the middle northwest
ern states has disappeared. Moth
ing can be further from the truth.
An editorial in the current issue
Of the Minnesota Union Advocate
summarizes the present situation
there as follows:
1.-THE dire predictions Of the plu-
tocratic press that the farmer-labor
party would be wiped out of exist
ence in the recent election did not
materialize. While the vote fell con-
siderably, the decline was relatively
less than the decline Of the republi-
can vote. When the extraordinary
and insidious methods employed to
belittle and demoralize the farmer
labor movement are considered and
in the face of the extravagant
claims of the republican party boost
ers, there is much to claim for the
farmer-labor movement. The result
cannot be interpreted in any other
light than one Of victory.
THE election demonstrated one
point beyond peradventure; that the
mass of the farmer-labor supporters
are such from conviction and cannot
be discouraged nor diverted by en-
envy propaganda or internal treach-
cry. This one point alone is the
vital factor bearing on the future"
1t is argued, therefore, and cor
rectly, that there is strong base
on which to build more powerfully
for Independent political action in
Minnesota. This movement win GER
tainly gain in strength thru linking
up with similar efforts to unite the
workers and farmers against the old
parties in other states. Minnesota
has been of great assistance in such
efforts in the past 1t must play
the same role again.
The question of how best to pro
coed is open to discussion. There
is much to be said in favor Of hold

Heiress, Facing Disinheritance,
 Escapes from Fathers Home and
 Becomes Bride of Russian Baron
Florence Clendenin and Former Officer in Imperial Army Married at Little Church Around the Cor ner" After Hectic Search For Someone to Tie Nuptial Knot.

MT. Clendenin, however, is quoted as denying that he said this or that Tornow entered his office.
 Finally Are Welded The couple then went uptown to task a magistrate to perform the ceremony, but the magistrate was a friend of MT. Clendenin, who had just telephoned, and would not off, ciate. The pair then found Captain Matthew Tertoff, friend of Tor now's, and Mrs. Maillard Bloomer, who helped arrange {. ceremony and attended as witnesses. There was a bridal supper at the Waldorf, and the newlyweds went to Atlantic City for their honeymoon.
 Baron Is Widower
 Baron Tornow is 3S and his bride I27. The baron has been married be- fore and his first wife died in 1918. He was born in Tsarkoe Selo, Russia the son of Baron Alexander Tornow and Nathalie Kiriakoff Tornow. He is a close friend of Grand Duke Di- mitri, who married Miss Audrey Emery of New York in Paris recent ly. The baron has been an attache of the Russian embassy in Paris.
 Other Romance Broken Up
 The Clendenin family came from Baltimore IS years ago. Six months ago Mrs. Tornow was reported en- gagged to Edward H. Atkinson of Boston, but no announcement was made, and further reports have 1t that this engagement was broken up by family opposition just three weeks ago.

SALARY RAISES
 ID BE DISCUSSED
More Pay for Federal Judges
 Sure to Have Right of Way

Washington, Dec. 2 P-Although dozens of bills face the uncertainty of rules and committee rooms, the measure to increase salaries of fed eral judges holds a clear field for discussion on the floor of the house.
 This measure is scheduled for de- bate next Thursday. It has the full support of the judiciary committee and the ranking republican mem- Der, Representative Dyer of Mis- souri, expects it to be passed with out difficulty.
 The bill proposes to increase sal aries of supreme, district and cir cult court judges and those of the courts of appeals and claims. The associate justices of the supreme court would receive s20,000 while the district federal judges would have their salaries increased from $7,500 to s10,000.
 While the salary bill appears to be generally favored, there is some sceptcism as to the ultimate recep-
 
 passed by the house, to increase the number of district judges. The sen- ate judiciary committee has made several changes in this measure which do not meet with the approv- al of the house, but Representative Eyer is inclined to think that pros pective changes in the personnel of the senate committee may make it more amemable to the house con- tention.
 By the terms of the house bill, the following additions would be made to the district benches: New York, five; Connecticut one; Penn sylvania, one; Maryland, one; South Carolina, one; Michigan, one; South Dakota, one; California, two; and Iowa, one additional judge.

STOLEN CAR FOUND
 AS GAS GIVES OUT
Thieves Make Mistake Of Asking
 Constable to Help

On the way home from Bridge port, where they spent Monday night, Tuesday and part of Wednes- day, after having taken an automo- bile owned by Dr. John L. Kelly in front of his home on Adams street, three local boys made the mistake of stopping Constable James M. Beebe of Orange and asking him for some gasoline, the stolen car having run dry. Sensing that they did not own the car, the constable delayed them a few moments in conversation and assisted by two truck drivers, placed them under arrest and brought them to Milford. The local police were notified and Sergeant P. J. O'Mara, Officer Thomas J. Feeney and James Kelly. brother of Dr. Kelly, drove down and brought the trio back.
 In police court this morning, two of the youths, Albert Mankus. aged IT, of 360 North Burritt street and Anthony Fedorczyk, aged IT, of 341 North Burritt street. pleaded guilty to the charge of theft of the auto mobile. but Judge filling ordered pleas of not guilty and after Mankus had been put on the witness stand by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. M. Greenstein, the judge said he believed no statement should be made by either boy. "They have made statements already" he said. 'The maximum penalty for this of- ic fnYo ty, riC ttY court cannot take jurisdiction" and he found probable cause, binding both over to the December term of superior court. He fixed bonds at S1,000 in the case of Fedorczyk and $3,000 in Mankus' case, Mankus be- ing on parole from the state re- formatory since November 12. The third boy, whose age is 14. was heard in chambers and his case con- tinued for a further hearing in juvenile court.
 Steal Car in Front of Home
 According to admissions which | the polio say were made by the | boys, Mankus drove the car. The trio met on North Burritt street Monday evening and walked down town to- l gether after deciding to take a car | for 8 ride to Bridgeport. Going | through Walnut Hill park they saw Dr. Kelly's car in front of his home | and after rolling it down the incline, | they boarded it and drove through | Southington, Cheshire and New | Haven. Arriving in Bridgeport they | hid the car in wooded section and | went to a theater. After the show, they slept in the car, and the follow ing day they put it in a garage and went to other shol,s in the afternoon and evening. They slept in the car Tuesday night and yesterday they started for home, intending to leave the car on the streets here.
 Mankus is well known in police circles. having been committed to tn reformatory for theft of num- Der of articles in petty jobs about thecity. His brother is in the re- formatory at Elmira. N. r., for theft of a car in Poughkeepsie and when his term expires he will be brought to New Britain for trial for theft of T. P. McAuliffe's car on Court street several weeks ago. Fedorczyk and the 14 year old boy have not been in trouble before, the police say.

New York, Dec. ? (P = Baron George Tornow, stock broker and formerly a colonel in the Imperial Russian army, today has for a bride an American heiress whose father, Joseph Clen6enin, vice-president of the American Smelling and Refining company. forbade the marriage.
 A Virtual Prisoner
 The bridal couple roamed the streets of Manhattan in taxicab, last night, pursued by telephone, calls from MT. Clendenin, seeking min ister or magistrate to marry them, and finally exchanged vows before the Rev. Mr. William Phillips at the Little Church Around the Corner. famous haven for eloping couples. The New York American says in a copyrighted story today that Mrs. Tornow escaped from the country home of her parents at Ardsley, N. r., after two weeks of virtual inn prisonment thal followed a declara- tion of her intentions.
 Finally Get License
 Baron Tornow and his bride, who was Florence Marjorie Clendenin, obtained a license just before the license bureau closed. They asked if anyone there could marry them at once, but were informed that the only man with proper authority had gone home. They left and immedi- ately afterward MT. Clendenin tele- phoned to ask If they had been there and said he would never give his consent to the marriage.
 Consent Not Obtained
 The American says the couple went to his office on lower Broad way and Miss Clendenin waited in a taxi while Baron Tornow asked MT. Clendenins consent. The reply was:
 You will never have my consent to any such marriage. I will disin- herit my daughter the moment she becomes your wife"
