 Midnight Fire
HURODE HEBERT MEETS DEATH IN THE BURNING OF HIS.
 OWN CABIN.

That HuD0Qe HeDerI, well knoW1i and highly respected Takotnan, had meat death in the flames of his burn ing cabin during the night was the startlin gand saddening news that staggered Takotnans early yesterday morning.
 MT. Hebert, after a visit of several days at Hans Erickson's headquarters, had returned to Takotna on Wednes- day from Canes creek, having been brought in by Evan Jones. MT. He bert was far from well at the time. according to MT. Jones. On arrival here several of MT. Hebert's friends, realizing his condition, prevailed upon him to take up quarters at the Lar son Roadhouse, which he did. On Thursday, however, he expressed a preference for his own cabin, his own home. Captain J. H. Mclean, Mir. Chilstrom and others used every en- deavor to prevail upon him to remain at the Roadhouse, where every atten- tion would be afforded him. His cabin had been warmed for his coming, however, and, following the evening dinner at the hostelry, MT. Hebert left for his own home..
 Nothing, absolutely, is known as to the origin of the fire. Charlie Nichols made a call early in the even ing, at which time MT. Hebert was lying on the bed. sleeping. The room was warm, the draft of the stove closed, and everything apparently was all right. Evan Jones also called and found everything all right. Henry c. Wallick, his next-door neighbor, dropped in about 9:3O, at which time lie saw Mr. Hebert lying on the bed, asleep. The draft of the stove was closed, and everything apparently safe. MT. Wallick then went to his own home. and when he again looked out of his window, just before retir- ing, after Il o'clock. he saw nothing unusual
 Flames were seen bursting forth from the cabin few minutes after midnight by Johnson Sozov and Ikey Hayes. So far as known they were the first to observe the blaze and were the first ones to reach the scene. Flames were then issuing forth through the roof. MT. Sozov, arriving first, endeavored to open the door, but was pushed back by the vol ume of flames and smoke. Nothing could be done. Death, at that time, mad certainly claimed it's victim, and ,ne cement of destruction was well on ...e way to the completion of it's work.
 As said before. the origin of the fire will remain a mystery. Was it caused by MT. Hebert awakening, :, opening the stove draft, a spark from the stove after he again took, to. the bed? He was an inyeterate smoker could it hayesoriginated from his pipe while lying on the bed and. falling asleep? Could it have originated from candle upsetting? These are all matters of conjecture.
 United States Commissioner w. T. Vanderpool and Deputy Marshal Mo Mullen arrived yesterday afternoon; and coroner's. inquestwas held last evening, the finding of the jury being; that that MT. Hebert came to, his death through the accidental burning of his cabin.
 Hnbode Hebert was born on farm in Maine, the family afterward nov ing to Madiwaski, Me. He is survived by two brothers, living near Madi-

on the Jewish Daily Forward, right
wing paper, who died last Friday af-
ternoon after a long illness, was bur-
led yesterday in the Mount Carmel
Cemetery in Brooklyn The funeral
was conducted from the Forward"
building.
Pine was one of the founders of
the Jewish labor movement in Amer

tilted with the extreme right wing Of
the movement. Toward the close Of
his career he also became an ardent
Zionist and devoted much of his cner-
sies in that direction in addition to
supporting the Forward" and the
American Federation of Labor In
their struggle against the militant
leadership Of the needle trades and
other Jewish labor organizations.

GROCERY CLERKS
TO STRIKE TODAY
Aim to Organize Stores
in Brooklyn

A general strike, effective today,
has been declared by the Retail Gro
Gerry, Fruit and Dairy Clerks UEion
of Greater New York The strike
call urges upon all clerks in the
stores of Brooklyn, Williamsburg,
East New York and Brownsville to
stop work and report to the strike
headquarters at 1T SecoEd Axe.
New York City.
While the strike is primarily for
the purpose of organizing the non
union stores in Brooklyn, all clerks
in Manhattan and Brooklyn union
stores are asked to report at the
strike headquarters, where they will
be formed into committees to visit
the non-union stores for the purpose
of recruiting clerks not already on
strike.
The principal demands of the union
as set forth in a circular that is be-
ing distributed are: 9-hour day;
2 six-day week; union conditions.
Appeal to Housewives.
A general appeal has been sent out
by the union to the United Council
Of Workingclass Women to lend
their support in spreading the strike.
The latter organization has been
very effective in helping the union
win their long drawn out fight
against dual union established by
the reactionary machine of the jew
ish Daily Forward, a right wing
paper. In spite Of over twenty in
functions taken out against the union
by the right wing, the union sue
ceeded in eliminating the dual union.

lied labor will stand behind you.
The Central Trades and Labor Coun-
eli, representing 100000 organized
workers has pledged you its full sup
port.
You will have the full sympathy
Of the millions of passengers whom
the traction pirates are now schem-
ing to rob in a huge seven cent fare
steal. The labor movement of the
whole country which recognizes in
your struggle the challenge of the
big interests to its very life, will sup
port you,
Do not be dismayed by the man
euvers Of silk-hat Jimmie Walker.
The police force which he has
modified is intended to overawe you.
But they will be powerless in the
face Of your united efforts. Nor
should you be impressed by the thou
sands of strike breakers, gunner,
thugs and "Beakies" which Hedley
has herded together in his last des-
perate effort.
Police officers, "Beakies," thugs
and gunner cannot run trains!
AS for Hedley's threat that if you
go out on strike mo Amalgamated
member will remain thereafter in the
employment of the company" The
answer is that he himself. in all
probability, will not be left on tie
job to enforce the order. He made
the same threat in 1926 but was
forced to take back all the strikers.
When he says he will not do 50 this
time, he is talking through his hat.
He needs you. He cannot operate the
lines between himself, Quackenbush,
Keegan, Doyle, the ''Beakiesa and his
new shipment of thugs. Besides
when this strike is over he will come
to you to beg you TO return as union
men!
This will be 100 per cent walk
cut!
The officials of your union must
not be permitted to delay any lon
ger. You must not permit them to
continue their parleys with Jimmie
Walker and the Tammany Hall poll
sicians. The new arbitration"
plan, said to have been made by Perl
man, viii accomplish nothing for
YOU. This republican corporation
lawyer who has served the bosses in
the past will not win your strike.
You car win only through your own
efforts.
Every hour of delay is dangerous.
All these present maneuvers in which
your union officials are taking part
are merely to allow the marlborough
tc mobilize its forces. Do not re-
peat the mistake of 1916 by allowing
your union officials to waste precious
time.
Now is the time to act. Decisive
ly! Without hesitation!
Organize your rank and file COM
mittees in every shop barn, terminal
and power house.
Demand union meeting of your
organization for immediate strike ac-
tion. Telephone, write, talk to your
union officials and the members Of
the executive committee condemning
further delay and demanding imme-
date action.
Refuse to break in scabs! Refuse
to man scab trains!
Demand your trusted and tried
leadership which has sacrificed for
you in the past.
Strike 100 Per Cent.
Against the yellow company union
For union of your own choice! For
better conditions for the traction
workers.
