BONENFANT BELIEVED
 VICTIM OF FOUL PLAY
Back Broken and Other Evidence of Severe
 Beating
Special to the Herald)

Newark, N. J., Oct. 1-Found at the foot of the stairs leading to his place of residence, Casper Bonen- fant, about Al years Of age, is be- lieved by the police to have been the victim of foul play, although the in- vestigation that was started imme- diately following his death at the City hospital has thus far failed to reveal the details. Bonenfant's body has been sent to his former home in New Britain, Conn.,, for burial.
 An examination of the body re- vealed that the mans back was broken, his nose was fractured and there were other evidences that he had been badly beaten and left to die, or had suffered a bad fall. In either case, the police believe the responsibility for his death is borne by someone who has failed to come forward with the story of the strug- gle that preceded the finding of the body. An autopsy was performed at the City hospital.
 BOnen1dnL was q well knOWn res ident of New Britain for many years and about fifteen years ago was a prominent football player on the Nutmeg football team, state cham pions. His relatives in this city have no information as to the cause of his death. They were notified that he was in a dying condition at the City hospital in Newark and then came word of his death.
 The funeral will be held tomor- row morning at S:30 o'clock at the home of his sister. Mrs. Patrick J, OMara of Main street, with serv- Ices at St. Mary's church at 9 o'colck, and burial will be in St. Mary's cemetery. The bearers will be members of the local branch of the theatrical stage employees union, of which he was a member.

COAL MEN DIFFER
FROM SENATE BODY
Declare Capital Invested Has
No Bearing on Profit and
Loss Statement.

Differences of opinion between
auditors for the cCal dealers and the
Government auditor as to whether the
amount of capital invested by a coal
dealer in his business should be made
available in connection with the fig
lures as to the price of coal developed
at the opening Of the meeting between
the Senate District committee and
representatives of the coal merchants
at the Capitol this afternoon.
Chairman Capper explained the
meeting was a result of the report
OF II. \. A. smith. the Government
auditor, who was designated to col
lnct from the coal dealers the fig
ureS requested by the committee re-
lating to the retail price of coal dur
ing the past year. Senator Iapper
declared the report was quite un-
satisfactory to the committee in that
It did not enable us TO form any
conclusion
Plan Already Outlined.
Roger ]. Whiteford. attorney for
tho Retail Coal Merchants Board
of Trade, told the committee that at
the meeting February 10 Mr. Leland,
one of the accountants employed ny
tho dealers. outlined n plan for pro-
Njdinc the committee With profit and
less statements for 1925 that would
give the committee the information
il desired.
Mir. Whiteford stated that follow
Inc the meeting of the committee
that dav the two auditors represent
ing the dealers met with the Govern
nent auditor and made arrange
mentS for preparing these profit ana
loss statements.
MIR. Whiteford said it was explained
to the Government auditor at that
time that many dealers close their
books on April | annually, in which
cases it would be difficult to get d
statement on the calendar-year basis.
According to Mr. Whiteford, the Gov
crumept auditor agreed that in such
cases he would take the profit and
loss statement for the nine months OF
1925, from April on, provided he was
given the figures for the preceding
J. months.
Gave Detailed Statement.
Mir. Whiteford then asserted that
the dealers submitted profit and loss
statements covering even more detall
than was outlined in the beginning
and that no effort has been made TO
deprive the Government auditor OF the
books for verification of these state
mentS.
Mr.. Smith told the committee that
FROM one dealer he got access to
everything he requested and that IN
another case he obtained l2-month
statement, but that after the state
ment was completed a question arose
AS to whether the amount OF capltal
Investment should be disclosed.
Mr.. Whiteford interrupted to de-
clare that the capital invested has
no bearing on a strict profit and loss
statement.

ganization belonging to the American
Federation Of Labor discriminating
against its own members OF course
the other unions in the A. F. of l..
cannot be blamed for the action of the
Musicians Federation, but they can
be blamed If they keep silent in the
face Of this rank exhibition of color
phobia, which is even worse than the
case of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers hiring non-union miners in
its coal mines. The American Fedora.
ton Of Labor, with its steadily declin-
ing membership, cannot afford to
allow such discrimination within its
ranks. 1t offers their enemies an ex-
cellent bit of propaganda to use
against them at time when their
position in American life is none too
secure.
THE Pittsburgh Courier believes
L firmly in the organization of all
working people, especially Negro
workers, in strong labor unions. In a
society so organized as the present
one, 1t is criminal negligence of ones
interests NOT to be organized with
those of similar interests. In no other
way can the worker hope to get pro-
per pay and humane working condi.
tons. Thousands of Negro workers
have recognized this truth and hold
membership cards in various trade
and industrial unions affiliated with
the the American Federation of La
Dor. Curiously enough, however, it is
in the unions presumably composed
Of workers possessing higher intelli-
gence that the Negro unionist en-
counters discrimination and prejudice.
ITTE warn organized American labor
" that this discrimination because
Of color must cease within its ranks.
Otherwise 1t will become a means for
destroying the organizations they
have so laboriously built up. Some of
the. most loyal and militant workers
in organized labor are Negroes. They
have struck, walked the picket lines
and starved in order that the right to
bargain collectively with the employ
ers might be established and main
tanned. The Negro worker demands
the right to join every union, and
having Joined, he demands equal treat
ment with all other union workers
regardless of race, creed, color or
nationality. Otherwise organized la
Dor labor cannot hope to retain his
allegiance.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST NEGRO -'-'
WORKERS MUST BE STOPPED

TT is stupid as well as disgraceful
4 conduct on the part of organized
labor to show discrimination to fellow
unionists of the Negro race. If the
following editorial taken from the
Pittsburgh Courier is based on au-
thentic information 1t is the duty of
the American Federation of Musicians
to look into the matter;
Music Hath Charms

bers of the American Federation of
Musicians. These union workers con-
stitute one of the strongest and rich
est groups within the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, They live by making
music but are reluctant to see Negro
musicians have. The same privilege.
The music dispensed by the Negro
union members hath no charms for
the white members when dollars are
involved. The breast of the white
savage refuses TO be soothed by the
seductive means of jazz orchestras
when Negroes are producing the
music.
A T least that is what we gather
"A from recent news reports. It
seems that white union musicians
playing in theaters on the Columbia
Burlesque circuit have refused to play
with colored musicians who are mem
bers of colored shows on the circuit

long to the union but the growing
number of Negro musicians with
Negro shows has alarmed the white
musicians. Already there are sixty
Negro musicians on the circuit. Con
sequently, the Federation of Musicians
recently passed ruling that a local
union must give its consent before a
band with show can play both in the
pit and on the stage. And since the
white members do not care to play
with the black members, this means
that the black unionists will ultimate
ly be eliminated if the ruling con
tinues in force and race prejudice does
not abate.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9.-Dyers and
cleaners of Long Beach are on strike.
On election day, Nov. 2, the owners
declared for the open shop and re-
fused to meet the wage increase de-
manded by the workers. A shorter
week is also one of the strike de-
mands.
Riot calls and some violence are re-
ported. A truck belonging to the
Campbell cleaners, 1926 West First
street, was overturned. Windows
we're reported broken in the Globe
Dye House, 1854 West Broadway. Gar
ments are said to have been trampled
on at the latter establishment. Women
strikers are reported to be the most
active.
Fourteen cleaning houses are af-
fected. M feF
The police did not, break up a pa
rade of protest in which 200 strike
sympathizers participated. No ar
rests were made.
The cleaners and dyers OF Los An
geles won their strike few months
ago, victory labeled the greatest"
in, many years in this community.
Help is expected from Los Angeles.

A. Harry Moore of New Jersey made

owners to learn more about their posi-
ton in the nine months strike of 10000
textile workers. Moore avoided head
quarters of Local 1903, United Textile
Workers Union, into which the strik-
ers are now organized.
He consulted with Robert M. Rein
hold of Forstmann and Huffman Co..
Col Charles F. H. Johnson and Henry

and Garfield Wooden Mills; Theodore
Boettger and Joseph A. Brohef of
United Piece Dye Works, Lodi; Henry

Stand as Before.
It is understood that the mill man
ayers reiterated to Governor Moore
their previously asserted stand that
they would deal only with their own
employees" and with no union, whether
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor or not. When Col. John
son Of Botany Mills was, earlier in
the strike, quoted as saying that the
mill owners would not deal with Al
bert Weisbord, then leader of the
strike, but would with the United Tex

since attempted to retract his state

The class is in charge Of j. Louis
Engdahl, editor of The DAILY WORK
Err, who will be assisted by Harry
Kletzky, supervisor of the worker cor
respondence of The DAILY WORKER.
VIII Develop Writers.
Work in the class will be directed
along one line: to develop news
writer's out of the workers, in order
that they can more effectively write
as they fight" Practical work will be
given the class, and the question and
answer method of discussion will be
followed in order that as much as
possible can be gotten out of the
work.
1t is not necessary for members of
the class to have had much experience
in writing or to be masters of a
literary style" The class is not for
the purpose of developing great
authors, but to aid workers to express
their ideas on paper in plain, ordinary
working class English, according to
newspaper style.
A full and interesting program is
being outlined for the course, so that
each class night will be crammed full
of information and interest.
The class will meet each Friday
night at o'clock. Members are urged
to come on time so that no time will
be wasted.
