not expected to survive and seven
other members of the forward four
inch gun crew of the destroyer Far
ragut received minor burns and
bruises as a result of the premature

The Farragut had been on the drin
grounds less than two hours and was
making it's second run over the tar
get range when the accident occurred
While the explosion did no material
damage to the ship, it killed or in
jured every member of the gun crew.
AS everything possible was done to
elevate the sufferings of the in
jured, Commander E. w. Mckee, COM
mander of the Farragut, headed the
destroyer at full speed for the har-
Dor, meantime wirelessing for the
ambulances from the naval hospital
to meet the warship when it arrived
at the municipal pier. The Farragut
came into port at 80 knots.
The injured men were quickly
transferred to the naval hospital

recovery of Becker. His eyesight is
destroyed and it is believed that he
was injured internally.
Rear Admiral Frank Schofield, de-

Farragut soon after it reached the
board of Investigation to convene
aboard the destroyer to investigate
the cause of the mishap.

was as a part of this campaign that
he made the public charges of mai

The sentence of five years sus-

The resignhtion was sent early
today to Brigadier General Samuel -.

it to the war secretary's office. It

BLACKBURN CASE
COUNSEL CLASH
OVER TESTIMONY
(Bv Disnatcn A. 2. MiraN

Stafford, Jan. 27.-The first clash
of counsel in the trial of Charles
Blackburn, Mesa rancher, on trial
here charged with Staying his alleged
business partner, Miguel Bernal, oc-
CURED late today when defense coun-
sci vigorously objected to the intro
duction as evidence of the original
application of Bernal for a $4,000
policy in the Intermountain Life In
surance company
The jury was dismissed during the
argument of the motion but after a
brief hearing it was ruled that the
exhibit was admissible. Franklin
Price of Phoenix, agent for the COM
pany, was under direct examination
when the trial closed for the after
noon.
The state asserted that the testl-
mony and exhibit was presented to
show the motive for the alleged muir
der to have been insurance on the
life of Bernal with Blackburn as BEN
eficiary.
Price said the original application
showed Bernal's estate as the bene-
ficiary and that later a change had
been made to Blackburn, who paid
the premium, as beneficiary. The
policy carried double indemnity irf
case of accidental death.
Two Apache squaws testified to-
day that although they did not see

WARNS TRAPPERs 0F
 ALASKA, FUR BUYERS

Alaskan trappers and others who have furs to sell are warned by the office of the delegate from Alaska that they should investigate carefully the claims of fur buyers in the states who claim to pay the highest prices for furs.
 Much dissatisfaction has arisen over the practice in the past of ship ping furs to houses in the states which advertise through the mails that they pay the highest prices for furs. In most instances this claim has been found to be untrue, says the letter.
 "The criminal prosecution service of the Postoffice department has fol- lowed up some of these fraudulent transactions, but it is difficult to get a criminal case against these dealers.
 "There are many old established fur houses in the United States where furs may be sent and honest returns made, and Alaskan shippers are ad- vised to patronize these establish ments instead of responding to new advertisers before learning what their commercial reputation is"

get an apprentices license from the

the drug store, and which costs him
two dollars. We must even pay for

After this fellow striker, Deauch

Comrade Powers spoke next, and
said that he had heard that the bosses

was healthy sign and means that
our picketing is really hurting.
Caiola, manager OF the unoin, said
that the workers were starving while
they were working, that families Of
five were living in $11 rooms, and
that the bosses were living on River

that they would fight till the end, and
they all left the hall and went 70 the

CONVICT THREE
WORKERS IN N. ].
FRAME-UP CASE
Court Upholds Scab's
Testimony
1y a Worker correspondent.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov. Is.
Harry Fox, Mickey Toloman and
Antonio Pienitari, former employees of
the Raritan Copper Works, Perth Am
boy, N. J., have been convicted on an
assault and battery charge here. The
three men were accused by Frank
Lovel, a worker at the copper works,
Of severely beating him with a six-foot
iron pipe the night of August Is. A
strike was conducted by the Interna-
tional Union Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers, of which the three defend
ants were members, against the Rari-
ton Copper Workers, at the time the
assault took place. Lowell was a scab
working at the copper works.
The case was manifestly frame-up
engineered by the company to get rid
OF these three militant workers. Each
of the accused proved by several wit
nesses that they were miles away when
the scab was beaten up. No one saw
the attack take place. Lowell testified
that he was alone when assaulted;
that the men approached him from
behind; that he was on an unlighted
street. He also admitted that he pre-
viously knew only one of the men.
Despite this, he swore that he was
positively sure that these three men
beat him up.
The defense brought out the fact
that the complaint on which the war.
rants were issued had been made by
an official OF the company and that
Lowell was brought to the jail after the
men were arrested by a company Of
flcial and asked to identify them. OF
course he promptly said these were
the men.
New Brunswick is q notorious open
shop town and the state prosecutor
played cleverly on the manifest preju.
dice Of the jury against labor. In his
summing up he was forced to admit
that Fox in all probability was not at
the scene of assault but he asked for
his conviction on the ground that Fox
was an official OF the Perth Amboy
local of the union, and was the brains
behind the other two innocent work.

Tho International Labor Defense,
which conducted the defense, imme.
diately announced that the case will
be appealed.

4 MINERS LOSE
LIVES IN S c ABB
Mine EXPLOSION
w. Va. Disaster Was
Avoidable, Charge
BY ROMA.
worker Correspondent


MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va, Nov. 49,
Once again labor has paid a toll of
death to the grim monster OF capital
ism, when four miners were killed and
two injured, and another one killed or
seriously injured in a non-union mine
in this city.
Early on the morning November Is
an explosion occurred at the First
Street mine, owned by the Glendale
Gas Coal Company. Twenty miners
were in the mine at the moment of
the blast, working night shift. Thir-
teen of these, working in locality a
short distance from the place where
the blast occurred, were led to safety
by the night foreman, while seven
were in the midst of the explosion.
Rescue workers recovered six of the
miners, three dead, two seriously in
jured, and one in a serious condition.
who died shortly after he was rushed
to the hospital. One Of the miners
cannot be located.
Those dead are:
Walter FogIe, 10, single, motorman.
Reuben Kirkhart, 30, single, brake
man.
Mike KaVesaek, A, married, loader
Joseph E. stifel, so, married, loader
The injured are; H. F. Cumber-
ledge, loader; j. w. Lemaster, loader.
Disaster AVoidable.
This disaster was ayoidable. as any
miner will state. All the mines in this
section are non-union, with all the
unsafe, non-union working conditions.
Each mine is full of gas, ready to
blow up at the least ignition. Miners
complain that the air circulation in
the mines is bad; the pumps are poor,
and the air is not circulated even
turnout the mine to prevent dangerous
pockets of gas from forming or accum-
ulating.
Recently safety lamps were In
stalled on the part of the miners. The
coal barons, however. have not fol-
lowed their part of the bargain.
In all probability, and as all miners
firmly believe. this explosion was
caused by the sparks of the motor
coming in contact with a dangerous
pocket of gas. Many of the miners
stated that the motors are unsafe, and
that the sparks issuing forth are ex-
ceedingly large and sure to cause an
explosion if there is gas.
These mines are not examined as
rigidly as they should be- The mine
inspector, when inspecting, goes only
thru the main part of the mine, but
does not go to the out-of-the-way
places where miners toll, and which
are dangerous gas traps. The mine
is then pronounced safe, when, as a
fact, it is not in local places.
