SHIPSTURKEYS
OVER $1,000 POUNDS MARKET
ED AT FROlD AND
BAlNVlLLE

Over 71b tons of dressed tur-
KEYS were received, graded and
paid for December Sth and 9th at
Friod and Bainville by the Sheri-
dan County Poultry association
through their manager, H. G. Boil
ster. OF this amount 5000 lbs,
were received at Froid and some
thing over 10000 lbs at Bainville.
1t is estimated that the total
would have been at least 80 per
greater has more favorable road
and weather conditions prevailed.
AS the price paid by the asso-
citation averaged 40c per pound,
over $4,000 was distributed to the
growers during the two days. The
largest check to one person went
to Mrs. William Ross of Lanark
who delivered 100 birds and re-
ceiyed a check for $491.93. This
was a splendid lot of turkeys with
but four No. 2's in the entire num-
ber.
Growers from all parts OF
Roosevelt county patronized the
association, shippiag their turkeys
to Bainville from Culbertson Pop
lar. Brockton and Wolf Point. Sim
liar express shipments were made
to Froid. Express shipments were
given the same attention as those
delivered direct and checks were
mailed to the owners.
It is believed that the price re-
ceived by those shipping through
the pool will exceed net prices on
direct shipments and will exceed
the price received locally. A com
parison of pool prices and those
received in North Dakota points
indicate a difference of from &C 10
SC per pound in favor OF the pool
Mr.. Bolster, manager OF the as
sociation, was we'll pleased with
the response from Roosevelt coun-
tv turkey growers and is looking
forward to larger shipments next
wear. Growers who made their
first shipments through the pool
indicated that they were well
nleased with this method OF dis
posing of their turkey crop and
are we'll pleased with the grade
and price received. 1t is expected
that the Sheridan county associa-
tion will be expanded in another
wear to include turkey ralsers
throughout all northeastern Mon
tana.

two YOUNG CHILDREN PERISH
ALONE With HOUSE ON FIRE

December .13, that he passed the
bank about three o'clock and that
he estimated that it was about Is
minutes later that he reached the
Gross residence. All the way up
the hill he had noticed what seem
ed to be smoke coming from the
house, but he was not sure wheth-
er it was steam or smoke. When
he got to the house he went to n
window but the smoke was so
dense that he could see nothing
inside, nor did he hear any noise
within the house. He smelled
burning rags and wood and then
went to the Ferguson residence to
turn in the alarm. Mrs. Gross
ran out of the house past him,
screaming that her "babies were
in there"
Mrs. Gross in First
She opened the south door of
the house, but the smoke and gas
was too strong for her to enter, so
she knocked out the window on
the south side of the house, then
went around to the north side and
knocked out the north window
and opened the north door. She
used her bare hands to break the
glass. The draft through the
house cleared out the smoke
somewhat, so Mrs. Gross entered,
calling George, but there was no
response. Mr.. Rygg said he told
her not to go inside the house as

few minutes obscured the Ameri-
can air hero and his plane from
sight
The motorcycle policemen at
length surrounded the plane and
placed Col Lindbergh in an auto
mobile and escorted him to the
presidential box, where President
Gales and Dwight w. Morrow, the
American ambassador to Mexico,
had anxiously awaited his arrival.
At 2:5O p m, the presidential
band played the Star Spangled
Banner" as Colonel Lindbergh en-
tered the presidential stand and
received greetings first from Pres
ident Gales and the from Ambas-
sador Morrow.
Gets off Course
The delay in the arrival of Col
Lindbergh here today, which had
caused such anxiety, was caused
by his having lost directions after
passing Tampico.
Instead of taking the direct air
line from Tampico to Mexico City,
Col. Lindbergh circled in long
detour to-the west, then south and
again to the east before he was
able to locate Mexico City.
AS the American airman greet
ed Mexico's chief executive, a
great roar of cheering rose among
the thousands of spectators re-
joicing in the safety of the intre-
pid aviator for whose safety they
had entertained grave doubts only
a few minutes before.
Overcoming the utmost efforts
by the police, the crowd overflow
ed into the huge landing field and
swarmed toward the famous little
monoplane bearing the magic
name, Spirit of ST. Louis
The Start
WASHINGTON, Dec 13.-Char-
les A. Lindbergh scared into the
air on his second international
fight Tuesday, heading from Boil
ling field toward Mexico City at
the invitation of President Gales
Disaster threatened the young
transatlantic fier at the start,
but the Spirit of ST. Louis re-
sponded to his touch and succeed
ed in a third determined attempt
to take off The rain soaked
earth twice defied Lindbergh's eff
forts to- lift the plane off the
ground as it roared across the
field. Finally it slowly ascended,
SKINNED over the trees bordering
the aviation grounds and winged
southwark into the gray midst
which blanketed the Potomac AS
though exuberant with victory,
Lindbergh and his silver part
ner started the 2,000-mile journey
at such speed that some planes OF
a convoy which set out to cover
the first stage of the flight could
not keep pace. 1t was estimated
here that Lindbergh was travel
ling at 110 miles an hour, but
first reports of his progress esti-
mated the speed at 80 miles an
hour over Lynchburg, Va.
Decision Is Startling
Lindbergh's decision to take off
Tuesday on a nonstop flight from
capital to capital startled Wash
ington with it's suddenness, as
there had been indications that
weather conditions might hold
him up for a week or 10 days

Federal Workers Want
Retirement Annuity

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (FP).-
Federal employers organizations, in
a conference in Washington, have
planned their fight before Congress
this winter to secure a $1,000 retire
ment annuity-they refuse to call it
pension when they contribute the
money, almost entirely, from their
own wages.
Sen. Dale Of Vermont, active on the
Senate committee dealing with civil
service legislation, promised the meet
ing that he would do all he could to
help them.
Seven years ago Congress started
the retirement fund, and fixed the
scale of contributions from the en-
ployes. Federal experts estimated
that in 10 years the fund would have
to be replenished from the federal
treasury. Instead, the fund grew by
$17,000,000 last year, and now totals
$67,000,000.
The conference represented 100000
men and women in the postal, navy
yard and various other branches of
federal service.

10000 WITHOUT
HOMES AS FLOOD
HITS 5 STATES
No State or y. S. Aid
in Stricken Area

MONTPELIER, Vt.-Over 10000
people are estimated to be without
homes in this state, Massachusetts,
and the Hudson Valley of New York,
and over 100 are reported dead as a
result of one of the greatest flood
disasters in many years. Especially
severe has been the loss of life and
homelessness in Barre, Waterbury,
Bolton, Richmond and neighboring
towns in this region.
Communication is cut offs entirely
from a number of towns. Fear of a
food panic is gripping thousands of
people, particularly those in the in
dustrial cities or towns in which the
flood caused the greatest havoc.
Great Misery.
Destitution is especially great be-
low Montpelier, in the Winooski Rivtr
Valley to Burlington, where there has
been loss of life of about fifty as
the waters overwhelmed farming COM
munities. Weakened dams as reser-
voirs, near Rutland, VT, where sew
eral thousand persons fled from their
homes in panic, added to the menace.
Over 10000 persons were driven
from their homes in Springfield,
Mass, as a result of the inundation.
Property loss in that state is esti-
mated anywhere from $10,000,000 to
$35 100000, while the New England
loss is placed at more than $50,000,-
900.
Workers Drowned.
Reports of a pitiful tragedy came
from West Bolton, about eighteen
miles from here. The raging waters
coming from the Winooski River car
ried away a shack in which 20 con-
struction workers had taken refuge.
All but one of the workers were
drowned
A milk famine is especially feared
in the larger cities, including Boston,
where the supply has dwindled to
about 20 per cent of normal require
ments.
Need Food, Army Sends Planes.
Five planes, three of them amphib-
ians, one from West Point, N. Y,
have been ordered by Maj.-Gen. Pres
ton Brown, commanding the First
Corps Area, to survey duty over the
flooded areas.
The Red Cross is making its usual
routine efforts to provide relief but
no adequate state or federal provi-
sions have as yet been made for the
thousands Of homeless and hungry
caused by the flood.

cleveland CITY
COUNCIL DOESN'T
HELP UNE:MpL. Dyed

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 6.-The
city welfare and finance committee of
the Cleveland city council has refused
to the meet the committee of the
Cleveland unemployed council in open
session.
At the meeting of the welfare COM
mittee and the committee Of the I'M
employed council on Wednesday, one
of the stormiest sessions in the his
tory of the council took place. Man
ager Hopkins, who had denied the ex-
istence of any unemployment situa-
ton in the city, was repudiated by the
committee, who one after the other
had to admit that the situation is
acute and that something must be
done at once.
Sadie Van Veen, chairman of the
unemployment committee, presented
the situation Of the unemployed after
the clerk of the council read the COM
munication of the unemployed council
outlining eleven demands, such as i'm
mediate food and shelter for the I'M
employed, food for the school chill
dren, no eviction of the unemployed,
elimination Of the private employ
ment agencies, starting of public
works, placing Of men in jobs thru
the unemployment council, etc. Joe
Judson followed up on the presenta-
ton and demanded action by the well
fare committee.
Would Keep His JOB.
City Manager Hopkins was intro
duced by Mr.. Sulzman, city council
man and chairman of the welfare
committee, as a "ray Of hope" but
this "ray of hope" had but one solu-
ton for the situation and that was
to return the City Manager plan of
government, which would mean his
retention in office.
l. Amter, district secretary of the
Workers (Communist) Party, who
was seated in the audience, rose and
asked for the floor. (The charter
Of the city grants any citizen the
right to speak at such meetings.)
He was 'called to order" by the
chairman, who tried to take the floor
from him. Not needing him, Amter
continued to speak, finally declaring
that "the unemployed will not be
strangled. A motion was made to
grant Amter the -loor, amid the
thunderous plaudits of the 500 unem-
ployed workers present.
Amter gave the city fathers, con-
sisting of the so-called progressives:

and Mrs. Green, Manager Hopkins
and the others, lesson. He stated

BLACK KLAN", us
FOUNDED IN CARY
BY white Group
Aim TO Split Fight on
Jim Crowism in Schools

GARY, Ind, Nov. 6-The organiza-
ton of "black lu klux klan," fos-
tered by the regular hooded order has
just been disclosed here. Supporting
their assertions by sworn affidavits,
a number of local citizens, headed by
s. A. Bruseaux, have provided the
details of the organization.
Recent disclosures also reveal that
a large number of Negro ministers
were given large sums of money to
meet their current expenses and were
in other ways subsidized in an effort
to create dissension in the ranks of
the Gary Negroes.
The group was founded during
the heat of the Emerson school strike,
it is learned, and was given the sup
port of old-line politicians and regu-
lar klansmen in an effort to split the
solidarity of the Negroes here who
were organizing to fight Jim Crowism
in the local schools.
Take in Cash.
Thousands of dollars, it is alleged,
were received from the initiation
fees, each applicant paying $40 be-
fore being admitted into membership.
Negroes were bullied into affiliation
with the "black klan," it is declared,
and were told by politicians that fav-
ors would more readily be granted to
those who belonged.

RED trade union
APPEAL FOR USSR
Defense ISSUED
Hit Reformists in Tenth
Anniversary Statement
(special Cable to DAILY WORKER.

Especial Gable to DAILY WORKER.)
MOSCOW, Nov. EN- a special
appeal issued to workers of all coun-
tries on the occasion of the tenth an
niversary of the November yevolu-
ton, the Executive Bureau Of the Red
international of Trade Unions de-
clares that the reason why the No
vember revolution is villified by world
capitalism is that the revolution
proved that private property is Meth
err sacred nor inviolable.
The international reformist leader
ship, the appeal continues, also Wilt
fies the revolution for proving the
practice and theory of International
reformism absolutely bankrupt. That
is why the reformist leadership of
socialist parties and reformist trade
unions persecute those members who
wish to see what is going on in the
territory formerly ruled by the car
and to see for themselves what the
Soviet Union is really doing, the ap-
peal states.
% Defend the Soviet Union!
In conclusion the appeal states,
workers of all countries, learn from
the living example of the November
revolution how to fight and conquer
your class enemies! Surround the
Soviet Union with wall of sympathy
and support and remember that inter-
national imperialism is preparing an
attack against the U. S. S. R. in an
effort to destroy the first workers
republic.
'In spite of the intrigues of the
world bourgeoisie and the SANDERS of
international reformism, all honest
workers will be on the side of the
working class of the Soviet Union,

niversary of the November revolu-
ton" II
