range new cases of bombings and
other "acts of violence" The mill
bosses raised a new hue and cry
when a bomb exploded near the
home of Mrs. Chauncey Pitts, a
strikebreaker This is the thir-
teenth bombing planted by strike

sacrifice one of their own number
in order to enmesh some striker in

The day before the company Of
ficials tried to arrest several lead
ing strikers on the charge Of having
burned up a company automobile.
The "story" offered by those press
ing the charges were that the driver
of an automobile conducting scabs
to and from the mill had been way
laid, ordered out of the machine,
tied to a tree and compelled to watch
the burning of the car. One of the
reasons for the great difficulty en-
countered by the bosses in framing
strikers is that the population of
the town is overwhelmingly in SYM
patty with the strikers who are
conducting the bitter struggle.

j o bic SIS, Unorganized
Workers Ignored

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 7.
The New Jersey State Federation
of Labor today passed a resolution
endorsing Al Smith for president.
The resolution was rammed thru
the convention by the misleaders in
charge of the federation, who are
closely allied with the corrupt Hague
democratic machine. All important
issues affecting the workers of this
state were ignored or tabled. A
few words were spoken about the
severe serious unemployment in the
state, but the matter was thereupon
gotten by the officialdom.
The problems of organizing the
unorganized, who comprise the
huge majority of the workers in this
state, was, as customary in the an
ual federation conventions, not even
mentioned.

The long, uphill fight of the Phila-
delphia Athletics which began two
months ago at a time when they
were trailing the New York Yankees
by twelve games was crowned with
success today when the Mackmen
went into a tie for first place with
the worlds champions.
Two victories over the Boston Red
Sox at Fenway Park while the
Washington Senators were admins
tering two crushing defeats to the
Yankees at New York put the Ath-
letics, for the first time this season,
on even terms with their rivals.
No uphill struggle in the history
of baseball, not even the drive of the
Boston Braves, the Miracle Men" of
1914, from the bottom of the Ma
tional League to the top, exceeds in
drama the rise of the Athletics of
1928.
Two months ago, the American
League pennant had been conceded
to the Yankees by every critic of
baseball, while Connie Mack seemed
to be left with another expensive
collection of relics on his hands.
Slowly and at first almost imper-
ceptibly, the Athletics set out to
overtake the over-confident worlds
champions. Only within the past
few weeks has it seemed likely that
they would make the grade.
The days double headers demon
strated the present superiority of
the Mackmen over the Yankees
The "A.'s" had no easy time beating
the Boston Red Sox. Lefty" Grove
Connie Mack's southpaw ace, had to
pitch his head off to win the first
game at Fenway Park, l to 0. Grove
held the Sox to four hits, while Ruff
fling allowed the Athletics six.
In the second game, the Mackmen
got away to fast start, scoring
six runs in three innings off Mac
Hayden and Griffin. They needed
the lead, for. the Red Sox found
Earnshaw and Orwell for a ringing
round of base-hits, and it was not

CHICAGO, December ga widows
conduct apparently is of much i'm
portance in determining whether she
is to collect on her soldier husbands
Government war insurance policy.
A Federal court decided yesterday, for
a second time, that Mrs. Corrine Han
ma should not receive further payments
on the policy Of Mai. Mark Hanna OF
Kansas City, although she was named
beneficiary.
She had received $2,451 Of the total
$4,000 due her before the Government
stopped the monthly installments. The
United States Veterans Bureau. after
an investigation, charged Mrs. Hanna
with living with a man named Wagner,
now serving sentence for bank rob-
berry In the Iowa Penitentiary.
The Government began making pay
naents May % of this year to the
majors father, Thomas A. Hanna OF
Ruthven, Iowa, but these were stopped
by a suit filed by Mrs. Hanna. She
denied improprieties with Wagner and
demanded the remainder Of the policy.
The father had been named as second
beneficiary by Maj. Hanna.
A jury returned verdict against
the widow, although finding her not
guilty of misconduct, and the late
Judge Adam C. Cliffe granted a new
trial because he found the decision OF
the jury not compatible with each
other
The second trial was without jury.
and Judge James H. WilkerSon found
her guilty of improper conduct with
Wagner and instructed a continuance
of payments to the father.
