By the time Perry A. Cole and as- sociates have their new fur farming industry established on the Kusilof river, the enterprise will represent an investment of approximately $40,- 900, the whole of which amount, ei- ther in cash or equipment or stock, has been brought into the country by the new organization. A tract of land comprising 800 acres has been ob- tained for the new fur farm. It bor- ders on the Kusilof river about five miles from the mouth of that stream and combines many desirable features with ample timber for building and fuel requirements, fish in abundance and natural water areas for muskrat. There are six bodies of water on the tract, all of good size.

McNARY-HAUCEN
UP AGAIN TODAY
May Try to Pa SIS Bill
Over Coolidge Veto

WASHINGTON, May 24.---A deci-
sion on the question of attempting to
enact the McNary -Haugen Farm "Re-
lief" Bill over the Presidents veto
was postponed until tomorrow by the
Senate Agriculture Committee today,
due to the absence of farm bloc
leaders. There were indications the
Committee would recommend that no
effort be made to enact the bill into
law over the Presidents objections,
as the feeling<persisted that it can
not command the necessary two
thirds majorities in both branches of
Congress.
The wealthy farming interests in
the west are reported to be greatly
disappointed at Coolidge's action, who
for the second time in as many years
showed his loyalty to his Wall Street
masters by rejecting bill that would
have meant a victory for the farm
ing lobby.
The McNary- Haugen bill had the
support of such "spokesmen" for the
farmers as the Pullman boss, Frank
0. Lowden, Vice-President Dawes,
Senator Curtis and Senator Watson.

PHILA. FUR union
IN PARLEY C ALL
Endorses Boston "One
Union Demand

The resumption of the offensive Of
the fur workers in New York against
the bosses and right wing for the re-
establishment of the union has be-
come more than temporary outburst
of resentment, events yesterday
showed.
Demand Conference.
At a meeting of the executive board
of the Philadelphia Local SO resolu-
ton was adopted to endorse the de-
mands made by the Boston local on
the general executive board. The
Boston local demanded a conference
of all international locals, which was
to lay the basis for the rebuilding of
the union. The Boston demand also
stated that the war carried on by
the international officialdom against
the New York membership be imme-
diately stopped, because the internal
struggle was destroying the entire
union.
The executive board of Local So, it
was learned, also intends to call a
membership meeting of the local in
order to secure the members endorse
ment of its plan. This meeting will
be held some time next week.
The New York furriers have in the
past few weeks voted condemnatory
resolutions at the meetings of even
the right wing locals. They have also
held protest demonstrations in spite
of the police terror in front of the
right wing Joint Council offices.
Right Wing Scared.
The last demonstration of about
1 1000 fur workers in front of the
Joint Council has thrown scare into
and Stetsky. The fact that

are also beginning to raise the de-

Death
DUE TO RADIUM
Public Beginning to
Demand Action

ORANGE, N. j., May 24.-With a
suit Of five doomed young women
against the United States Radium
Corporation for $1,250,000 pending, it
became known today that the death
of Miss Elizabeth Dunno at a hos
pital in New York more than year
ago has been traced to the same
plant.
Five Orange girls who were en-
ployed at the radium plant are vic
tins Of radium poisoning and doctors
have pronounced their cases incurable
Miss Dunno; who had formerly
lived at Waterbury, Conn, was en-
ployed by a watch and clock company
that used radium supplied by the
Radium Corporation. At the time of
her death the cause was given as
radium poisoning but tie case was
considered of minor Importance then.
However, as result of the connec-
tion with the present situation here,
an investigation has been started in
Connecticut to determine whether
there are any radium poisoning cases
among the watch and clock manufac-
turing centers there.
Meanwhile, with the almost certain
death of Miss Grace Fryer, Mrs
Quinta Mcdonald, Miss Katherine
Schaub, Miss Albina Larice and Mrs.
Edna Hussman, and the possible
poisoning of at least 100 others there
is mass feeling of protest rising.
There have been Id deaths in New
ark and Orange due to radium poison
ing. Many other cases are now being
treated at local hospital
The trial in the action brought by
the radium victims is scheduled for
Monday.

fSpeclot to the DAILY Worker
BAYONNE, N. j., May 24.-John
Tammassi and Tom Borsirio were ar
rested yesterday before the Tidewater
and Standard Oil Company plants
here distributing copies OF The
DAILY WORKER containing an ac-
count of the betrayal of the Tide
water strikers by their company
union leaders and generally exposing
the speed-up and slave conditions in
the oil trust.
Police under orders, it is believed,
of the Standard Oil officials who
practically control Bayonne, dis
persed a group of other workers who
were similarly engaged. Borsirio
and Tammassi were then singled out
for arrest. A. late hour last night
they had not been released.
Twenty-Five hundred Tidewater
workers who struck last week against
the inhuman conditions under which
they are forced to slave at the plant
of the tSandard subsidiary were
forced back Tuesday through the be-
trayal of the company union officials
working together with the mayor of
the city.
