STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, July IT,
Paul Hainey, aged SO, a locked out
miner, was finally starved into COM
hitting suicide here yesterday.
An ironical aspect of his case is
that he served on four different fronts
in the great world war, in the 134th
Machine Gun Battalion of the 9th
Division, and successfully resisted
gas attacks of every possible sort.
Now the cruelty of a coal company
sends him to seek his death by gas.

HEDLEY TO USE
POLICE TERROR
IN |. R. T.STRIKE
Yellow Dog Contract
May Be Arbitrated

Frank Hedley, president and gen.
eral manager of the Interboro Rapid
Transit in a statement issued Satur-
day threatened the subway workers
with police terrorism in the event of
strike when he said, "The men are
employed for a definite period end
ing April 80 1929, if molested, I am
sure they will be given adequate
police protection, if not they win see
to it that the public continues to re-
ceive regular service on the Inter
boro system"
Last year the subway strikers were
set upon by a gang of police and
detectives and severely beaten up as
they We're coming out of meeting
at the Manhattan Casino at 115th
Street and Eight Avenue.
Men are working seven days a
week, twelve hours a day and for as
low as 20 cents an hour, declared
P. L. Shea of the Analgamated AS
sociation commenting on the report
that the State Industrial Survey Com
mission has expressed a desire to in
quiTe into the situation on the I. R.
T. with regard to yellow dog con-
tracts and general working conditions.
The commission, which is scheduled
to reconvene today, is an official
body which inquiries into and reports
on labor conditions in various in
dustries.
J. H. Coleman, general organizer
of the Amalgamated Association, said
that the 1. R. 7. twice admitted in
the last week that the yellow dog
contract submitted to the subway
workers was weak. Coleman was of
the opinion that the Interboro's new
method Of having the contracts"
witnessed by notaries was an admis-
sion that the so-called agreement
would not hold legal water.
Lawyers are trying with every
sultelty known to their craft to de-
prive subway workers of their rights
as citizens" he said. 'First, these
workers were compelled to sign the
contract without even being shown
its contents. Our attorneys publicly
cited the fraud and deception in this
method. Now they are having the
same contract signed over again. Can
any one doubt that these are the
tactics of men bent on deception and
abuse of the workers ?"

Ford Apologies to
SapirO; Pays Cash
to End Libel Case

DETROIT, Mich, July 17.--Coun-
sci for Aaron Sapiro and Henry Ford
signed a settlement out of COURT yes
terday which ends the famous libel
case of the cooperative King"
against the "Auto King"
Ford apologies for remarks
against Sapiro in the Dearborn In
dependent, his weekly magazine, and
sum of money, the amount of which
neither of the parties would make
perfect, has been handed over by
Ford to Sapiro.
Ford, in his apology declares the
charges. against Sapiro were false,
but blames them on the writer of the
articles. This is as serious re-
traction as could be expected, mas
much as Jim Reed, presidential can
didate and senator, defending Ford
in court, insisted that they were all
true. So did all the Ford defense,
and Ford himself did not object.
The suit brought out much evil
dence of enormous charges made
upon the farmers whom Sapiro
brought into his "cooperatives" and
also of recklessness with the truth
on the part of Ford's hired writer's.

SLUMS OF QUEENS
AND BROOKLYN TO
Be INVESTIGATED
Matchbox Shacks for
Thousands of Workers

The thousands of cheap single
matchbox houses that line the out
lying streets of Queens and Brooklyn
will be investigated by the legislative
commission for the revision of the
Tenement House Act today.
The investigation is a result of tes-
timony recently submitted to the conn.,
mittee regarding the unsanitary and
hazardous conditions of the one-story
frame houses that across the East
River.
Enormous Stun.
The area to be investigated is TAX
ing the shape of an enormous slum,
much vaster and much more danger
Gus than that on the east side, ac-
cording to Thomas Adams, director of
the Regional Plan for New York and
environs. Cheap matchbox houses,
whose shingles are rotten and whose
dank rooms are visible thru sagging
and decaying walls will be investi-
gated by the commission.
Owe have potentially the greatest
slum in New York in these tremen-
dous areas of small one-family
houses" declared Henry Wright, an
architect testifying at previous
hearing.
Violate Building Codes.
The lives of the thousands of work
ers who live in these houses are con-
stantly endangered by the fire hazard.
The solid area of clapboard and shin
gle houses violate such protection as
is supposed to be afforded by the
building codes, according to Mr..
Wright.
All along the eastern parts of
Queens, thruout the outskirts of
Jamaica and the Rockaways and huge
sections of southeast Brooklyn are
dingy ramshackle huts, closely hud-
died together along dirty streets.
Realtors Get Rich.
Large building operators made for
tunes building these miserable shan
ties in the housing emergency of
1919 and 1920. Thousands of these
shacks were erected overnight and
rented or sold on the installment plan.
Tenants in many of the houses have
only half finished paying their in
stallments on the houses.
Bright coats of paint covering the
cheap wooden walls deluded workers
into purchasing these matchbox
houses on the installment plan. Now
the paint has worn off and the cheap
rotting walls of houses are exposed in
their dingy nakedness.
Record Fire Threatened.
"There is absolutely no doubt" said
Mr.. Wright at one of the earlier hear
ings of the commission, chat if a
fire broke out in the southern part of
Queens and in the neighborhood of
Roclaway Boulevard on some night
when there was a strong wind blow
ing in from the sea, it would take in
the entire section. The apparatus we
have available would not possibly
meet it. We would have, probably
will have sooner or later the greatest
fire ever, in history. 1t will put New
York on record as having one more
of the greatest things in the world.

HORRIBLE LIFE
IN NEGRO FLOOD
CAMPS REVEALED

WASHINGTON, (FP) July IT,
Sharp criticism of the Red Cross jim
crow colored camps for flood refu-
gees in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Arkansas has forced Secretary of
Commerce Hoover, in charge of flood
relief, to name a colored advisory
commission. DR.. Motion of Tuskegee
Institute, heads the commission with
two other Negro college presidents.
Even Whites Object.
Reports reaching Washington indi-
cate incredible conditions in the Negro
camps at Greenville, Miss, Crowley,
La, and Sicily Island, La. At Green
vile 5000 refugees are crowded into
a small camp whose hospital facilities
drew the criticism even of white doc
tors. Forty thousand refugees on the
levees up and down the river from
Greenville are served from that camp.
Laborers at Greenville staged re-
volt when white overseers with re-
volvers strapped to their sides intro
duced CONSUMPTION. A Negro COM
mittee thought it better to avoid
trouble by using the ''war volunteer"
system and advised their people to
"offer' their services rather than be
drafted. The guns were then re-
moved
Mostly Negro.
Eighty per cent of the 100000 flood
refugees in these three southern
states are Negro. Most of them have
lost their homes, crops and much of
their live stock. Many of the younger
members of the families, af<r help
ing relocate their parents on the
flood-washed lands, are leaving for
northern cities.
The plantation system, W h c h
borders on peonage, the three months
school term, the oppressive conditions
under which they labor and the DOM
nance of the poor white. aristocracy
which is more intolerant in it's lynch
ings, mob terrorism and Jim crow
ism even than the employers, are the
underlying reasons for their decision
to quit, for good and all, the flood
ruined country. Before only miser-
able existence could be wrung from
the soil but now, with no hopes for
a crop this year, the colored popula-
ton will scarcely live above the star
walton level

for some time. Grave apprehension
is felt for the existence of labor or
CARNATIONS as the military spies and
agents of the war lords have already
taken action against many workers
organizations.
The majority of the central COM
mittee of the Wuhan Koumintang are
yielding to the demands of the mill
tarists and are resorting to desperate
measures in face of the threats on
the part of the masses of workers
and peasants that aim toward fore
ing decisive action against the trail
tors government at Marking. 1t is
matter Of days only, perhaps hours,
when the workers organizations will
be destroyed and wholesale butcher
ing of workers will set in Hankow
and other cities under the Wuhan
government.
Military Rule Looms.
There is no question that as far as
Wuhan is concerned that the wavering
elements of the Koumintang have
gone over to the military adventures
and are subservient to the enemies
of the revolution. Tang Sheng-shi
has returned from the Changsha,
where he carried out frightful per-
secutions of the labor organizations
and Communists. He held lengthy
conferences with corps commanders
and also actively participated in the
work of the council and political
bureau of the Koumintang. Before
leaving Changsha this war lord, who
has been wavering between Feng and
Wuhan issued orders to his troops to
prevent any troubles, even if such
troubles start OH orders of party
(Koumintang) committees. All re-
fusing to submit to order will be
summarily dealt WITH" which means
that they will be executed with the
fiendishness characteristic of the
semi-feudal military leaders.
Betrayed Suns Three Principles.
Tang Yen-Tai, chief of the political
department of the Wuhan army has
left for an unknown destination, leav-
ing a statement in which he declares
that he resigned his post because the
leadership of the revolution (the
Wuhan government has abandoned
the three demands of Sun Yat-Sen
and that he considers it impossible
further to follow the path which the
koumintang follows under the pres.
sure of the generals.
Will Carry On Fight.
In conclusion Tang Yen-Tai asserts
that he does not give up his revolu.
tionary work and that he will carry
on the fight under other form,
against those who would deliver China
into the hands of her enemies and ex
ploiters. In taking tais attitude the
former chief of the political division
of the army follows the path thai
is being followed By thn masses Of
workers and peaAnts.
