DEATH TOLL 10,
II ENTOMBED IN,
SCAB MINE BLAST
Hold Little Hope for
Trapped Men

FAIRMONT, w. Va, May 1.-Ten
miners are dead and the fate Of
seventy-one more still remains in
doubt as the result Of a terrific ex-
plosion in a non-union mine at Ever
ettsville owned by the New England
Fuel and transportation Company
late last night.
The force Of the blast was so
great that two men working on the
tipple were instantly killed and fif-
teen injured. The two known dead
are Harold Davis, IS, and Andrew
Allen.
Describing the explosion from a
hospital bed, Roy Hayhurst, of Fair
mont, who was severity injured in
the explosion said. ''The blast sud-
denly knocked us in every direction.
Davis in the check house had his arm
blown off and we were all badly
shaken up. know that several men
in my crew suffered fractured skulls
also"
Miners here point TO the increasing
frequency Of such explosions and de-
clare that they are particularly pre-
valent in non-union territory. The de-
cline of the miners union, under the
battering of the present anti-union
lockout, would mean a tremendous in
crease in mine accidents.
The one hope for the seventy-one
miners still in the mine is that the
explosion vented most of its force
toward the mouth of the mine and did
not work backwards.
Two rescue crews are working at
the mine, while others are being rush.
ed to the scene. That the seventy
one miners, however, will come to the
surface alive is questioned.

Daily Worker Gets
New Readers From
WeisbOrd Campaign

Especial To The DAILY WORKER.)
PAsSAIC, N. j., May 1.-The cleo
tion campaign here as it continues
shows more clearly every day that
the labor candidates who are running
as Communists will be a deciding fac
tor when the ballots are counted.
Every day Albert Weisbord and his
associates, Simon Bambach and
Simon Smelkinson are addressing
large meetings where hundreds Of
workers gather to hear the message
of labor. Another significant point
is the large amount Of working class
that is being sold. The
DAILY WORKER is being read by
the hundreds every day, the workers
realizing that the local capitalist
press does not present the campaign
issues fairly from the viewpoint of
labor.

Yat-sen, Sun Fo, son of Sun Yat-sen
and Pau Tsu-min have sent a joint
cable to the central headquarters of
the Kuomintang in the United States
at Oakland asking that it support the
Nationalist Government at Hankow
in its struggle for the Liberation of
China.
Asks For Aid.
The cable declares that the Ma
tionalist Government has decided to
fight Chang Kai Shek and asks
members of the Kuomintang in Amer
lea to take up collections here to aid
the Chinese liberation movement.
The cable concludes with the adj
monition that the Kuomintang here
should not be fooled by propaganda
in favor of Chang appearing in the
press.
Wong Loyal.
Wong Chin-wei, despite reports to
the contrary, has consistently sup
ported the Nationalist Government at
Hankow, since the desertion of Chang
Kai Shek.
1t was at huge mass meeting at
Shanghai in his honor, that Chang
Kai Shek killed hundreds of workers.
AS the more than 10000 demon
strators greeted Wong, Chiang's
counter-revolutionary troops sudden
ly appeared on the scene and started
to shoot into the crowd.
Among those killed at the meeting
was a member Of the Executive Com

closed the office Of the Kiangsu

Party and has arrested members Of

British Workers
Wage War Against
Anti-StrikG Bill

LONDON, May 1.-When the labor
smashing anti-strike bill is introduced
for its second reading in the House
of Commons by the die-hard cabinet
tomorrow, it will not only meet with
the solid opposition of the labor
party, but of the liberals and sec
ton of the conservative party.
The bill is interpreted here as an
attempt to smash the victories that
British labor has gained in the last
hundred years. 1t not only outlaws
general and sympathetic strikes and
boycotts, but places severe restric-
tons on picketing and virtually for
bids unions for civil employees.
Although the right wing of the
labor party and the Trades Union
Congress frown upon the general
strike, leaders of the minority declare
that labor has no defense against the
measure but nationwide strike Of
all trades. They point out that the
government has a majority despite
the opposition Of liberals and few

1t is reported that workers turnout

Since the general strike last year the
rank and file of British labor is said
to have lost faith in its old conserva-
tive leaders and may in a new crisis
follow the minority leaders.
PITTSBURG, May Five labor
bankers will face trial here on May
8 on charges Of conspiracy to wreck
the Brotherhood Savings & Trust Co.
Although political wires have been
twanged in an effort to get the labor
bankers out Of the mess caused by
the wrecking Of the $4,000 insti-
tuition into which low-waged trade
unionists of this section had put their
savings, the five will have to face

Shows Results From Ma.
tion-Wide Campaign.

1t is stated that in 1920 there were
people, but 1t Is estimated that in 1880
more than one-half of the entire popu-
lation will own their own homes. The
publication of the census figures on
home ownership aroused the country
to a realization of the situation.
campaign to stimulate home owner
ship was begun. Building and loan
associations, insurance companies and
banks are helping to finance home
ownership. The Department of Com
merce has issued a circular of dlrec-
tions on home buying.
Building and loan associations ana
savings banks urge the prospective
owner to save money steadily until
sufficient amount for the first pay
ment is obtained. The largest savings
bank in New York City financed 5000
homes in one development in 1925. IN
addition to individual applicants. A
number of large employers assist their
employees to buy homes either by
lending directly on mortgage or by
LAYING out developments for them.
In 1922 only 40 per cent of the
building in the country was for resi-.
dental purposes. In 1925 it was Ga

third of the homes purchased in 1925
were financed by building and loan
associations. In July, 1926, So per
cent of the resources of all the savings

Tvs increase in wages within the
last few years has helped to make
the increase in home ownership pos
sihle. 1t will be observed that there
was substantial increase in 1921 and
1922 in spite of the countrywide in
dustrial depression. This corresponds
to the increase in savings bank de-
posits which has frequently been
noted. While it is difficult to separate
the various causes of movement of
this kind. It seems safe to assume
that prohibition has played consid-
