How the newspapers of Pittsburgh
help to keep the people of Pittsburgh
as to labor conditions in
that state is strikingly revealed by an
investigation just completed for the
Federated Press into an attack by
state troopers on a Sacco-Vanzetti
meeting at Cheswick on August %.
When Murder Is Not Murder.
When the force of constabulary,
without provocation, mauled, gassed
and rode down the 1900 miners and
their wives and children the news
papers of Pittsburgh chronicled but
one event of that tragic day.
Shortly after the meeting had been
broken up, and while people were still
being attacked by the guardians Of
the law, a state trooper met a man
on the public highway and without
word, began beating him with a
riot stick. Infatuated, the man, who
is unknown in that section, drew a
pistol, killed the trooper, and es-
capped.
When News Is Not News.
This was made the lead" and the
body of the story too for the Pitts
burgh papers, which played it to the
limit. They forgot" to mention that

next morning in hopes of reading al
honest account of this disgraceful at

U. S. Press Lies About
U.S,S.R., Says American
Labor Delegation Head

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R,, Sept. 90
Before leaving the Soviet Union,
Albert F. Coyle, secretary of the
American Labor Delegation made
the following statement to the
press, concerning the delegations
impressions of the U.S.S.R.:
"All that we saw in the U.S.S.R.
shows that the rumors spread by
the American press concerning the
U.S.S.R. are all false. On return
to the U. S. A. we will publish all
the collected material which will
undoubtedly help in establishing
more closer relations between the
U. s. A. and the U.S.S.R."
On hearing of the execution of
Sacco and Vanzetti the delegation
expressed it's Indignation.

entire story of the attack on the in
offensive people had been omitted,
and "played down" to next to moth
ing, while the death of the trooper
had been used to the limit as propa
ganda against the striking miners.
The action of the miners and their
families, who made no defense, ex-
cept to run, many of them carrying
infants in their arms and dragging
their older children along, blinded by
tear-gas, and bleeding from riot
stick blows, was described by the
Sun-Telegraph and other papers as
an uprising" The trooper was list
ed among the heroic dead. He was
declared to have given his life trying
to "quell Sacco riot" The fact was
omitted that, according to a disin-
terested eyewitness who was inter
viewed by the reporters, the trooper
was staggering down public high
way 35 minutes after the meeting had
been dispersed and was cracking
everyone he met with his riot stick.
He simply attacked without provoca-
ton, one man too many.
Miners Arrested
Twenty-four miners were arrested
during the day and night, and held
under bail, ranging from $500 to $5,-
600. Ten of them were indicted by
the Alleghaney county grand jury last
week. OF the other ID, have been

citizens have been stirred up against
them by the cold-blooded dishonesty

The German workers greatly ip-

they received from the medical staff.
They all gained in weight an aver

Held in Fake BOmbings

PARIS, Sept. 26.-The difference
between the French and the Amer
lean police is that the former usually
lose their nerve at the last moment
and 'find" the bombs which they have
planted and whose explosion they in
tend to pin on "Sacco and Vanzetti
sympathizers," whereas the American
cops sometimes allow theirs to go off.
But the French gendarmes had an
other purpose yesterday and one of
the bombs on the southern railway
exploded The other bomb which was
planted" at La Bacco was "discov-
cred in time" No real damage was
done, of course, but the destruction
of few yards of track over which
the trainloads of American legion
naires were about to pass had the
frame-up possibilities that the author
tiles intended.
This has enabled the French police
to arrest scores of Italian refugees
who have sought haven in France
from the horrors of the black-shirt
dictatorship of Mussolini. The Ital-
ians who constitute progressive ele-
ment in the south of France have
long been an object Of police "soli-
tude," and the French intelligence ser

LiIIiGndahI Woman
Now Says Negroes
Were Not Killers

HAMMONTON, N. j., Sept. 26.-
forsaking her insistent decla-
rations that her husband, DR.. William
Lilliendahl, aged narcotic expert, was
slain by Negro hold-up men who halt
ed the couple in an automobile near
here on September Is, Mrs. Margaret
Lilliendahl, the widow, expressed the
belief in an official statement today
that the murder was inspired by drug
addicts.
Mrs. Lilliendahl and Willis Beach,
neighbor, are held under bond as
material witnesses in the case.
From the day Of the murder until
the issuance of her statement today,
the widow had chung steadfastly to
the story that her husband was shot
to death by two negroes whose only
purpose was robbery. Guns found in
the Beach home are suspected as the
death instruments, and it is estab-
lished that Mrs. Lilliendahl had a
secret correspondence with Beach.
Before changing her mind about the
Negro murderers," both Mrs. Lillien-
dahl and Beach watched blood hungry
lynch mobs rage over the state look
ing for Negroes that might fit her
vague description, and said never a
word to save them.
