FUR WORKERS TO
SUE FORWARD FOR
S1,00O,O0O LIBEL
Will Prove That Its
Charges Are False

Papers are now being drawn up by
Louis B. Boudin, attorney for the
Joint Board of the Furriers' Union, to
bring suit fer $1,000,O00 against the
Jewish Daily Forward, right wing
newspaper, on the charge of libel.
Fifty workers who have been called
gangsters and guerrilas in the For
ward will bring the case jointly before
the Supreme Court and will prove
that the irresponsible statements of
that newspaper are issued only for
propaganda purposes and are not
based upon facts.
Worked For Many Years.
The Forward has been calling many
workers who have been working in
the fur trade for a score of years
"gangsters" because they have gone
on strike to preserve their union and
improve their working conditions. The
Forward, being the organ of the
strikebreaking opposition, has been
trying to discredit these workers hop
ing in that way to break the present
strike. 1t is believed that when the
case comes to court and witnesses
are heard, a complete vindication of
the workers position will be shown.

British Envoy Makes
Frantic Try to Stop
Flop Of Geneva Meeting

WASHINGTON, July IA. A
final effort to rescue the Geneva
armaments conference from col
lapse was made here today in di-
rect negotiations between the Bri-
tish ambassador and Secretary of
State Kellogg.
Their meeting followed close up
on the recess of the parley at
Geneva where the delegations of
the three powers in public adj
dresses made it evident that an
agreement on the terms laid down
by President Coolidge to fix limit
on auxiliary naval craft is hope
less at this time, especially as this
would give the U. S. with its su-
perior building power an advan-
tage.
Whether the Geneva conference
will be reconvened was said to be
problematical Officials frankly
say that they see little use of con-
tinuing a discussion that has been
deadlocked from the start and one
in which there has been so much
show Of temper on all sides.

u. S. WONT FIX
FLOOD LEvEES IF
farmer IS POOR
Ruined Sections Open
To New Spring Deluge

GONCORDIA,r La, July 14.-Thou-
sands of poor farmers in this eastern
flood region of Louisiana are return
ing to their homes as the flood waters
gradually recede from them They
are comparatively lucky, these far
mers, for there are many sections of
this state still immersed below a
great lake of Mississippi water.
But with the final departure from
a refugee camp, the farmer and his
family feel again fresh injuries to
their already nearly hopeless finan-
cial condition. Their houses are for
the most part uninhabitable, covered
with foot or so of slime, and rot
ting and collapsing, even where the
force of the current has not de-
molished them.
Their chance to raise any crop this
year in the waterlogged, slush that
is all that remains of their land, is
slight, and wherever the crops do
begin to grow, the cut worms and
other pests must perforce concentrate
and are putting an end to any chance
that the residents might recoup part
of their losses by a late harvest.
Nor is this the worse. In five
great gashes the Mississippi levee
lies cut, and these gaps will not be
rebuilt, say the government officials,
until the farmers raise at least a
quarter of the cost. Not a single
farmer can raise even penny of
this tax, and will have to live or
starve on such charity as he can get
until a crop grows next year. But
that will never be if the levee breaks
are not repaired, because of the nor
NAL spring floods. Some of the in
habitants here believe it is already
too late to save the three parishes of
Tensas, Concordia and Catahoula
from another flood, anyway, and are
too despondent to even try to plant
anything.
The rills, hollows and holes are
everywhere full of sinking drainage
water, foul with decayed animal and
vegetable matter. Swarins of mos
quitoes are everywhere, malaria and
yellow fever may descend upon the
land like plague any day.

A. F, |. ENDORSES
PROPOSED STRIKE
ON INTERBOROUGH
Growing Sentiment for
Action Among Workers

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, speak
ing to the Longshoremen's conven-
ton yesterday said that his organ
ization is behind the coming /. R. t.
strike. He urged his hearers to sup
port the subway workers in their
fight.
Speaking of the yellow dog con-
tract which the I. R. T. is forcing its
workers to sign, Green said that it
was invalid and illegal and no one
who signed it could be made to
live up to his so-called agreement.
Frank Hedley, president and gen.
eral manager of the l. R. 7. in
statement issued yesterday said that
all of the subway workers on duty
have signed the company union agree
ment. He said that Gil more en-
ployes signed yesterday bringing the
total up to 1890.
Used Force.
In reply to this J. H. Coleman.
local organizer for the Amalgamated
Association, said that he did not
question that many subway workers
had signed the agreement" as the
signing was accomplished under dur
ess. "When you point gun at a
man and tell him to sign he may
do So" Coleman added.
He said that the preamble to the
so-called contract stated that all
signers declared that they had read
the 5,000-word document. This would
require each signer to read for at
least an hour and the sixty-one COM
pany agents would be canvassing the
subway workers at that rate until
few days before the contract expired
in 1929.
Contract Illegal.
Senator Robert F. Wagner and
Representative Henry D. Perlman,
counsel for the Amalgamated in
formed William Green that the !. r.
T. contracts were of no legal value.
After the last traction strike, last
year, Hedley threatened that he
would institute suit against the pro-
perty of the ex-strikers for "viola-
tion" of the so-called contract
A canvass among the subway work
ers confirms the statement that the
rank and file are infuriated with the
methods used in forcing them to sign
the company union contract A
majority of the workers favor a
strike at this time and it is expected
that the Amalgamated will take ac-
ton in very short time.

HANKOW ARMIES
MOVE TO SMASH
CHANG KAI--SHEK
Three Columns Driving
Against Marking

WUHAN (Hankow), July IA
Three armies are ready for drive
on Marking and Chang Kai-shek in
whose forces there is widespread dis
affection according to reports reach
ing here.
One of the Wuhan armies, headed
by General Chang Fai Kue, is the
best disciplined and equipped of all
the revolutionary divisions, the Iron
Army which lead the victorious
march of the liberation movement
northward from Canton a year ago.
Boycott Hurts Chang.
The anti-Japanese boycott is mob
ilizing great masses of workers, stu
dents and peasants whose strikes and
demonstrations Chang Kai-shek dare
not suppress since such a move
would align him with Japan and
further weaken his government with
the population.
Then Marking government in or
der to meet its military budget has
ordered a substantial increase in
taxes which is alternating both the
foreign businessmen and the Chinese
traders and manufacturers which
formed Chiang's principal base of
support.
The general impression here and in
other Chinese centers, among the for
eign population, is that the Wuhan
government is showing unexpected
strength while Marking is weakening.
If Chang armies are defeated in the
first clash with the Wuhan forces OBJ
servers predict either his speedy col
lapse or new alignment with Wuhan
the alliance.

tiers were able to quit work at five

Board, told of the latest developments

SACCO INQUIRY
HALTED, FULLER
REVIEWS TROOPS
Two Workers Swelter
In Charlestown Prison

BOSTON, July 14.-Governor Full
ler thinks that a military review is
of more Importance than the case of
Sacco and Vanzetti, facing death on
August 10.
This was evidenced yesterday when
the Massachusetts chief executive
called halt to the inquiry proceed
ings which have been going on for
the past few weeks and decided to
leave Boston for Camp Devens to in
spect the 26th Division Massachusetts,
National Guard.
The governor, who is stopping at
Rye during the hot weather, called at
his office for but few minutes yes
terday and left almost Immediately
for the camp.
While the two workers were swell
tering in the Charlestown prison yes
terday anxiously awaiting the out
come of the inquiry, the governor
spent the day pleasantly reviewing
his crack troops.
Prove Prejudice.
During the past week there have
been no developments of sensational
character. The witnesses called were
mostly the signers of the affida1its
which charged that Judge Webster
Thayer made prejudiced remarks in
public during the process of the ia
nous trial
The last witnesses heard thus far
were three firearm experts, James H.
Burns, J. Henry Fitzgerald and AL
bert H. Hamilton, who testified that
the bullet which killed Alessandro
Beradelli could not have been fired
from Sacco's Colt revolver.
Vanzetti Not In Car.
At the. last hearing Mrs. Carrie
Facchini told the advisory committee
and the governor that she had an op-
portunity to see all the men involved
in the Bridgewater crime and they
were all young and clean shaven, and
that Vanzetti, who is heavily NOUS
tached, was not among them.
Vincent Brini of Plymouth also ap-
peared, accompanied by his daugh-
ISl, VIII elSCOo do PlCISI, W sup
port Vanzetti's alibi for the day of
the Bridgewater crime. Brini's son,
Beltrano, also testified to the same
effect.
Thayer Secretive.
Judge Thayer, who testified the day
before yesterday, came to the State
House and entered the committee
room only minute or two after Prof.
James P Richardson had been ushered
from the committees presence. An
effort was made to prevent the two
men from meeting, for Richardson
was the author of a letter to Gov.
Fuller denouncing Judge Thayer for
prejudiced talk about the two con-
demned workers while staying at the
Hanover Inn sometime in 1924.

A short rest seemed tn revive the

Into one of these houses the young

flung himself upon the bed. burying
his face deep into the pillows tn stifle

no longer repress.
Along the road to the north, beyond
the grim Gordon of sentrieS, eleven
men were racing thei: horses. They
rode like furieS.
Death was not only behind them but
lay in ambush before them. Death
was ready. but the sleeping telegraph
operator was not.
BY the time he awoke, sensed the
message hammering at his key and
gave the alarm, the night-riders had
slipped through into u passively

As dawn kindled the t"ee-tops they
drew down to walk. There was no
chatter. no Testing, no expression of
thankfulness over their escape Only
one made speech. 1t was matter of
directions, for now each man must 90
his own way, as once more they were

mt the next, and so on until each man
rode alone.
Ten eventually reached Washington.

that his comrades We're well on their
