JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 10

USSR, Court Lectures
Man Who Killed Three
Year-Old Imbecile Son

LENINGRAD, U. S. S. R., Aug. 2.
Rather than permit his three-year-
old son to grow up hopeless idiot,
Vladimir Orlofsky, an aviator, killed
the child and then surrendered him
self to the state.
After a brief trial, Orlofsky was
found technically guilty and the
court sentenced him to six months
Imprisonment, but Immediately sus-
pended sentence, merely reprimand-
ing him publicly.
The act of the Soviet court in first
sentencing him to prison and then
suspending the sentence was caused
by the fear that other parents,
especially among the ignorant of the
population, might take Orlofsky's
action as a precedent for doing
away with their own children. The
six months sentence, therefore, was
sort of warning to others that the
court considers Orlofsky's act in
deed a crime, although in this case
it recognized extenuating circum-
stances.

BOSSES BLAMED
FOR OIL BLAST
8 Dead, 72 Injured by
Explosion

LAWRENSVILLE, ILL.,, Aug. q
The victims of company red tape
and stereotyped efficiency" eight
workers are already dead and IL
more are in imminent danger of
death here following the explosion
yesterday of an old steam oil still
of the Indian Refining Company.
Yesterday only one death had been
reported, but the toll of victims in
creased today as more details of the
disaster became "known. Over 100
workers were endangered, and sew
eral men virtually became human
torches when caught in the path of
blazing oil. Seventy-two were taken
to the company's hospital at Vim
cennes, Ind, ten miles away.
The blast occurred while the re-
finery's fire brigade was fighting
a small fire in a nearby still. When
the second fire alarm was turned
in, the workers obediently responded
to company orders, only to be
drenched in flaming oil as it shot
out of the exploding still. The
majority of those seriously burned
were those answering the second
alarm.

HILLMAN CLIQUE
GUSTS MILITANTS
Removes 5 Candidates
Names From Ballot

Sidney Hillman, who purposely
announced some time ago that he
intends to "clean up the graft and
corruption in the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union, local 49,"
in which veritable swamp Of cor
ruption was disclosed by the Daily
Worker and the Freiheit, was instru-
mental in the removal of militant
workers from the ballots in the cleo
ton Of an executive board for that
local
The militant workers, Dickstein,
Brechner, Brandes, A. Mayer, and
Abe Shotlin, who have always. been
among the leaders of those carrying
on the fight against the corrupt lead
ers in that local, were candidates
for the executive board, nominated
by the workers in whose interest
they had fought for the last few
years
But their names were removed
from the ballot by the Hillman-
Schlosberg hand-picked committee,
who left on the ballot only the
names of those who were sure to
support their own grating and COR
r1lpt administrative clique.
When the stories appeared in the
Daily Worker and the Freiheit ex-
posing the graft going on in local
10, Hillman venomously attacked
the statements that appeared in the
papers, saying that they were a
hindrance rather than an aid in rid
ding the local of its graft He
further stated that he would see to
it, personally, that the graft would
be W;nel out.
