Ammonia fumes escaping from a
broken pipe in the plant of the Home
Ice Manufacturing Co., at Twelfth
and v streets, last night spread alarm
through the neighborhood and drove
many persons from their homes until
this morning. Patients in Children s
Hospital, diagonally across the street,
and members Of the hospital staff of
doctors and nurses found it difficult
to breathe as the fumes rapidly per-
meated the big building. but no one
in the institution was injuriously
affected.
Policemen Michael J. Mahaney and
j. G. Baum of the eighth precinct
were slightly blistered by the ammonia
while they were engaged in rescuing
about 80 horses in the adjoining sta
BILE Of the Thompson dairy. One horse
was killed and two others so seriously
affected that they were unable to go
on the milk routes this morning.
Firemen Fight Fumes.
Firemen from Engine Companies
Mos. z, 8, IL and IL, No. 6 Truck and
Rescue Squad No. l attempted to
smother the fumes by pouring water
into the ammonia plant. They were
forced to don gas masks, but the am.

ammonia was breathed by persons as

breathing the biting ammonia gas in

was read before the International Con.
gress for Psychic Research, which
opened here last evening.
He wrote that in order to make his
studies more complete in regard to
the psycho-sensOrial phenomena Of the
brain he had constructed an apparatus
containing a sensitized plate.
Describes Experiments.
Subjects in a state of hypnosis were
placed one after the other in a room
with this apparatus, and later it was
found that the sensitiZed plates were
marked with lines and blotches.
These markings, the professor con-
tended, correspond to the thoughts of
the subjects, being more or less
straight as the subject was more or
less of nervous temperament The
phenomena, he added, We're not found
in persons of unsound mind.
Prof. CaZZamali, who is head Of the
department of neurology and psychia-
try in the University of Milan. asserted
in a report published in August, 1925,
that the human brain emitted sounds
which were to be heard distinctly by
means of a radio receiver.
Using highly eXcitable persons as
subjects, he placed them in a hypnotic
state and, at the extremely low-wave
length of from 4 to 10 meters,
claimed to have heard sounds which
he was satisfied came from the brain.
The sounds were similar to wire
less signals, he said. but were often
accentuated until they resembled
whistling or the tones of muted vio-
lin.

DAILY WORKER CARNIVAL SUNDAY ONLY, JULY "a;
CHANGE MADE TO AID JOINT DEFENSE CONCERT

Once again The DAILY WORKER
has placed itself squarely on the map
as working class paper. For many
months the DAILY WORKER was
preparing for the big two-day carni-
val and fair to be held at Pleasant
Bay Park, July % and "a. The in
come from this gigantic affair was
intented to defray the tremendous
legal expenses involved in defending
The DAILY WORKER and its staff
from the attack of powerful patriotic
societies and the federal govern
ment.
When the Management Committee
Of The DAILY WORKER, received
the news Of the unfortunate post
ponement of the wonderful concert
and ballet for the benefit Of the
cloakmakers and furriers, it was de-
cided that everything must be done
by The DAILY WORKER in order
to insure the success of the Joint De-
Tense Committee affair, and that
nothing must done that would in any
way interfere with it. The DAILY
WORKER Management Committee
has therefore decided to caH off one
day of the carnival and fair, leaving
Saturday completely free for the
Joint Defense concert. As a working
class newspaper The DAILY WORK
Err is willing to make this sacrifice,
in the interests of the needle work.
ers.
The program has been so arranged
that all the numbers and attractions
which were planned for Saturday will
be crowded in on Sunday, so as to
make it program memorable in the
radical movement of New York The
Flower Dance will be held on Sunday
afternoon, and the Moonlight Chauv
Souris and All Star Vaudeville will
be held on Sunday evening. The
vaudeville program includes: Florence

TRACTION STRIKE
IN 4 WEEK OR so
SAYS UNION HEAD
Workers Refuse to Sign
Yellow Dog Contract

That the city will see a subway
strike of the first magnitude within
the next few weeks seems to be a
foregone conclusion. This is the opin-
ion of j. H. Coleman, organizer for
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Workers.
Hedley is reported to have said that
if the company recognized the Anal
gannated ninety-five per cent of its
employees would strike in protest. In
reply to this Coleman said that no
one is his right senses would believe
so ridiculous statement, not even
Hedley himself.
The new yellow dog contract which
the I. Re- is circulating among it's
workers for signatures is not meeting
with success. Most of the men are
showing fighting spirit and the
Brotherhood workers are having a
hard time getting names.
A canvass among the militant sub
way workers reveals the truth of the
statement that the men want to be
organized and they will go thru a
strike to attain their own union

THRONES RESPOND TO COMMUNIST
CALL FOR WAR AGAINST new WAR
Especial to The DAILY woRKER.l


CLEVELAND, Ohio (By MaiD.-
One of the largest gatherings ever as
sembled at the call of the Workers
(Communist) Party here joined in the
demonstration in the Public Square
against "The War Danger" The
speakers were j. Louis Engdahl, edi-
tor of The DAILY WORKER, and
Israel Amter, district organizer of the
Party.
1t was in this Public Square, the
central spot in Cleveland that C. E.
Ruthenberg, in 1917, called on great
masses of workers to refuse to be con-
scripted for the imperialist war that
the United States entered in that year.
For this he was sentenced to a years
imprisonment.
1t was in this Public Square, that
boasts free speech monument dedi-
Gated to Tom Johnson, former liberal
mayor of the city, that armored tanks
and tear gas were first used to break
up May Day Demonstration in this
country. This occurred On May 1,
1919.
Engdahl outlined in his talk the
careful development by the imperial
list powers of "The New War" against
the Soviet Union.
Engdahl showed that the war
against the Soviet Union in 1890
had failed, the food blockade had fail
ed, the effort at capitalist economic
penetration of the Soviet Union had
failed, the financial blockade had
failed, md now the vicious circle of
the capitalist onslaught had returned
TO a new military attack.
"The workers of America must de-
velop, by all possible means, their
strength to resist this new war;" said
EngdahL "for an attack on the First
Workers Republic is equally an at
tack on the American working class. I"
