Queens Sewer Graft Records
Stolen; Buckmey rs SURPRISED

Investigators of the Queens Sewer
graft charges were startled yesterday
by news of the burglary during the
holidays of the Awixa Corporation, of
Islip, L. l., in which vasy quantities
of records pertaining to sewer con-
struction work in Queens were stolen.
The Awixa Corporation handled ap-
proximately one-fourth of the $751;
100000 sewer work in Jamaica, which
caused the opening of the present in
quiry into the graft which totals
500 100000.
Emory R. Buckner, special counsel
for Justice Scudder in The latter's in
vestigation, said he was "much sur
prised" by news Of the robbery. He
saw no reason, however, why he
should participate in the inquiry into
the disappearance of the papers, and
said he would leave that up to the
Suffolk (ounty authori lies.
Among the Awixa's most substan-
tial contracts was one for S638,766,
obtained by assignment from the

Company. It was for tho laying Of

Youth Strike Breaks ont
IN Buffalo Hosiery Shop

A picket line is being maintained
despite the bad weather and the
morale of the strikers is excellent.
There are about so scabs in the shops
now but this is only a bluff as they
are all inexperienced and production
is less than 10 per cent of normal.
The strike has been peaceful until
last week. Now the bosses are more
desperate and are resorting to all
kinds of intimidation, visiting the
strikers homes, hiring imported thugs
to beat the pickets with the help of
the police and are applying for in
functions against picketing. Two
young strikers have already been ar
rested for distributing literature.
The announcement by a member
of the Young Workers League at a
mass meeting of the strikers, that
the League is supporting the strike
and has already arranged g social
and dance for the benefit of the
young strikers was received with loud
applause.

A sweeping investigation of the
government and affairs of New York
City may be demanded of the 1928

republican party leaders. Encour-
aged by revelations in the sewer in

ample material for next years mayor

would be furnished by such an inves-
tigation.
The willingness Of Governor Smith

uted to the fact that Connolly is a
member of the McCooey faction of
the New York democratic party, riv-
ais Of Tammany.

NICARAGUA WAR
PROTEST HERE

The meeting of the Workers (Com-

Irving Plaza, Irving Place and 18th
St., to be addressed by M. J. Olgin,
William F. Dunno, H. M. Wicks and
P. T. Lau of the Hands Off China
Committee of Philadelphia, will not
only protest against the barbaric exc
cutions of thousands of Chinese work
ers and against the break in relations
of the Marking government and Soviet
Russia, but will also protest against
American imperialism in Nicaragua.
The meeting is not only part of a
nationwide program of mass meet
ings being held in defense of the
Soviet Union, whose citizens have
been summarily executed by the coun-
ter-revolutionaries, but is also part
of an international movement for de-
fense of the Chinese revolution and
of the Soviet Union.
The meeting Will protest against
sending more marines to Nicaragua,
which is under the domination of
American bankers supported by the
bayonets of the American marines,
according to Workers Party spokes-
men.

Dsquiets US.
H0uana Tools

The Nicaraguan situation is ex-
pected to be one of the central issues
at the Pan American conference which
opens at Havana January 10th. The
conference will be attended by Calvin
Coolidge, Chas. E. Hughes and Secre-
tary of State Kellogg and Col. Lind
bergh will fly there for the opening
sessions. Despite this dramatization
of the conquest of Latin America by
the colossus of the north, and altho
most of the delegates at the confer
ence will represent governments IN
Latin America set up or maintained
by the United States, it is expected
that few of the delegates will make
at least some protest against murder
of Nicaraguans by the United States
marines.
Reports from various Latin Ameri-
can countries indicate that the latest
attacks on the little army of liberals
under General Sandino has aroused a
storm of protest thruout Latin Amer
lea.
An attempt has been made to In
fluence the Mexican government not
to take the lead or to take part in
protests against American atrocities
in Nicaragua.
The Brazilian, Argentine, and Uru-
guayan delegates to the Havana con-
ference arrived in New York City on
board the steamer Western World
yesterday afternoon.
The South American delegates will
be entertained by the Bankers Club,
120 Broadway on January 9Th, it was
learned. The delegates will sail for

CONGRESS- PEERS
into S-4 DEATHS

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A con-
gressional investigation into the S-4
submarine disaster appeared certain
today soon after congress gets back
on the job. 1t seems probable that
there will be an investigation by a
special committee representing both
senate and house rather than by one
of the standing committees. The navy
department was requested today to
take extraordinary precautions to
preserve the last records of the VIC
tins Of the S-4 tragedy.
Representative McClbltic (D) Of
Oklahoma, wrote a letter to Secretary
Wilbur, urging that water-tight COM
partments of the submarine be sealed
to prevent the records from floating
away when it is raised.

EASES SITUATION
Donations Will Defeat
Danger of Plaques
By A. S.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 3.-A new
and terrible menace to the strikers
ranks is sweeping through the bar
rack settlements to which hundreds of
additional families are being driven
every week by the coal barons.
Pneumonia and flu and all the dis
eases of malnutrition find easy VIC
tins in the hungry, thinly clad men
and women and children crowded to-
gether in their small, unsanitary
boxes of rooms, icy-cold this sub-zero
weather. They are close, too, with
many people in small space, and the
fumes from coal oil lamps.
There is no money for doctors or
medicine, and many doctors will not
attend strikers without pay, and many
company doctors (the only ones avail
able in some mining towns) refuse to
attend the families of union men un-
der any circumstances today.
Last of Many Evils.
Starvation, cold and now disease
famine conditions deliberately created
by the coal companies for great
army of workers, to break down the
iron rank and file resistance to the
open shop or to get the strikers away
from the mines or to kill them off.
A Little Relief.
The New Years shipment of the
Pennsylvania Miners Relief
Committee following the Christmas
shipment of last week, eased up the
situation in the camps that, could be
covered, and aroused hope among the
miners that they may not have to go
on fighting alone in the year that has
just begun, as they had to fight
through the greater part of 1927. But
