Reed Cross Examines SapirO
To Prove ExtOrtiOn

DETROIT, March 3O.-The head

Reed, to show that the wheat king ex-

Drove Alone"
Their formal statement issued at
the trial reads as follows:
"At $3.50 p. M, Sunday March 9th,
a Ford coupe driven by Henry Ford
and occupied alone by him, was forced
off the south drive of Michigan
Avenue few feet east of the Rouge
River Bridge, and plunged down a
steep embankment into a tree. Mr..
Ford states that he was forced ever
the embankment by q. car which came
upon him from behind as he emerged
from the driveway of the Ford Lab
oratories at Dearborn After a period
of daze or Inconsistencies Mr.. Ford
walked with difficulty several hun
bred feet to the gate keeper en- his
estate who summoned Mrs. Ford.
Or. R. d. Mcclure, chief surgeon
of the Henry Ford Hospital was i'm
mediately called and remained with
the injured man until Tuesday night,
when he was removed in an ambulance
to the Henry Ford Hospital where
he is now undergoing treatment.
There has been a minor operation.
Because of the lawsuit now in pro-
gress and the unav iaable and UNI
founded differences that may be
drawn, the facts were withheld from
the public although communicated to
the court Monday morning.
To-day, however, it developed that
the newspapers had somehow OBJ
tanned information, and a statement
is issued"

to smash the union and nullify all the

|. R. I. Workers
Get Fake Wage
Raise
Yellow Dog Union Used As
Mask For Fare Increase

A definite move in the direction of
higher fares for New York and an
effort to make the Brotherhood" of
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany appear as going concern are
seen to. be the reason for the so in-
crease in pay announced yesterday.
Positive evidence Of the basis Of the
increase is found in the letter said
to have been sent to Frank Hedley,
president of the |. R. T., and read at
the last meeting of the board of d.
rectors. The letter. purporting to
have been written BY NJ. ]. Mangan,
secretary of the "yellow-dog" COM
pany union, requesting the increase,
and suggesting two year contract
with the brotherhood" at the in
creased rate.
Fake Union, A Mask.
The hand of E. L. Quackenbush, l.
R. T. lawyer, is seen by leaders of
the subway strike last summer in the
phrasing of Mangan's letter, which
contains a reservation to the effect
that eff prior to the termination of
the two-year period of the present
rate of fare on the Interborough lines
were increased, nothing in this re-
quest, or in any agreement made
herein, shall be urged by the COM
pany as an objection to discussion
of a further readjustment Of wages
based upon such increased fare"
The present increase is given, &C
cording to Hedley, only to members
of the Brotherhood of the l. r. T."
This is a further indication, of the
serviceability of the fake "union" in
playing the role of the company.
Cut Wages.
In 1921 the workers on the Inter-
borough lines were asked to submit
to a voluntary 1879 in pay. In spite
of crooked balloting and the other
well-known devices utilized by en-
ployer-worker Cooperation" the pro-
posal was showed under. The cut
was effected nevertheless, however,
WIN dLAiNG doolobdICt VI at
Connolly, president of the company
brotherhood.
AS a result of threatened strike
in 1928, $50 of the cut was returned
to the men. Since that time the men
have been working under the worst
conditions prevalent in this city, and
wages have ranged as low as $21 per
week.
Workers Restless.
Indication that officials of the COM
pany union are aware of much UNI
rest among the workers on the In
terborough is revealed by the fact
that the present increase is an
nounced two months before the pre-
sent agreement between the brother
hood and the company expires on May

Dubinsky'sCang!
Framing Up On
Feltman
Innocent Cutter Arrested;
Released On Bail

The policy of frame-up by which
the reactiOnary officials of the Inter-
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union are attempting to intimidate
the membership of the cloak and
dressmakers' unions was continued
yesterday with reprisals against Mar
tin Feltman. member of Cutters
Local 10, who was arrested on a
framed-up charge brought by Will
lam Lubellski. He was accused of
taking part in an assault at an hour
when the time clock record of his
shop shows he was at work.
Feltman has been an active work
er in the union for the past seven
years. and demonstrated his. loyalty
during the last strike in spite of the
orders of David Dubinsky, car of
the cutters local, which discouraged
many cutters from picketing. Since
the Illegal explosions of four locals
of the International, Feltman has
been openly and publicly threatened
by Dubinsky because of his stand in
favor of the Joint Board and the
rights of the ousted members. Mem
bers of the Legal Committee, Of the
Joint Board, who have Investigated
his case declare it a clear case of
frame-up in which Lubellski, the
complainant, has been used by the
Dubinsky gang to "get" the innocent
cutter.
Out On Bail.
Feltman was released on $4,000
bail by Judge Silverman in the sixth
district court, for hearing on April
/.
Five pickets were arrested at the
instigation of the industrial squad as
they were picketing the shop of
Slarlen and Kaufman, 1927 West 36th
street this morning. They were Sam
Kugler, Mary Shore, Bertha Seid,
Mary Leyne and Anna Greene. Po-
lice testified that one of the girls had
shouted "scab" when the industrial
squad brought up a scab to go to
work in the shop, which was called
on strike by the Joint Board because
of the employers refusal to recog-
nize the business agents of the Joint
Board. Members of the industrial
squad demanded the arrest of the
girls, police said. They were all re-
leased upon payment of So fine by
Judge McKennery in jefferson Mar
ket Court.
Postpone Goretzky Case.
The case of Joseph Goretzky, man
ager of Local 35, before Judge Rosal-
sky in general sessions, has been
postponed until April 8. The Sigman
gang has been particularly anxious
to incriminate Goretzky in some
framed-up charge, since he is man
ager of Sigman's own local, the
Pressers' No. 80, who have repu-
dated Sigmanism.

CnrYpntEUentS
By T. j. o'FLAHERrY.

n OINTMENT made by Will Rogers
~ on Americans in China is original
enough to be worthy Of reproduction
here. He says; "Any person that
will stay in the middle of civil war
for six months and don't know
enough to even send his family out,
it won't do much good to rescue him.
You bring him back home and he will
run right in front of a Ford. We had
to shell that Chinese town to let our
people know it was time to come out
and be rescued. Yours for home mis-
sions."
w HY does not the United States
w send missionaries to Japan? Is
it because the Buddhist darkness in
which the heathan souls of the Japan
csc are enveloped in less spiritually
deadly than the Confucian pail that
hangs over the souls of the Chinese?
Or is it because Japan is able to meet
the bibles of the christians with the
bayonets of the Shintoists? It is in
teresting to note that while the guns
of the christian British and Ameri-
cans were snuffing out the lives of
peaceful Chinese the guns of the
heather Japanese were silent. Yes, it
is quite evident that our missionaries
are needed in the Orient.
THE United States is chock full of
4 atheists, agnostics, evolutionists
and other criminals" that need the
spiritual medication of preachers that
do not happen to be on the inside of
a hoosegow for forgery, rape, murder
or other crimes common to a chris
tian society. Why is it that John d.
Rockefeller, Gary, Morgan and others
keep tight hold on their purse
strings when appealed to for funds
to save the souls of our native
damned? Is it because saving souls
does not pay spiritual dividends only
when the saved can be induced to put
their necks in the profit-making
yokes? We are willing to wager our
hat, good one in it's prime, that the
heather" Chinese could go to the
devil without let or hinderance if they
happened to live in country that
was not blessed with untold mineral
wealth.

dead.
The explosion was one of unusual
violence, and wrecked the small COM
pany office several hundred feet from
the entrance to the mine. At first
it was thought that none Of the work
ers below ground could possibly have
escaped, and state police were
brought in to keep the grief stricken
families away from a roped off area
around the mine entrance. These po-
lice had been kept in readiness at
nearby barracks to suppress any
strike activity in this district, but
were brought out and used to intimi-
date the wives and children of the
victims in the accident.
The known dead are: Daniel Nc
Coughey, al, single; John Fresko, 80,
single; William Connolly, 81, single;
and John Shedlock, 40, who leaves a
wife and six children. All were resi-
