20 WORKERS ARE
BURNED TO DEATH
Charred Bodies Taken
From Oil Plant

EVERETT, Mass, Feb. 10.-Twen-
ty charred and flaming bodies of
workers were brought from the blaz-
ing plant Of the Beacon Oil Company
late today, after explosion and fire
had wrecked the plant.
Ambulances had carried from 80 to
75 seriously injured to hospitals.
Flames swept from the oil plant to
that of the New England Gas Com
pany. Gas explosions were feared and
firemen of four cities were ordered
out.
A worker of the Beacon Company
said that the explosion occurred thru
backfire of vapor in the transfer
from one tank to another.
Eye witnesses said that some of the
bodies were burning torches when
found.

TRUE FIGURES HAD
BEEN SUPPRESSED
PROTESTS FEARED
S800,0O0,000 Was Given
AS Original Cost

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Finding
it impossible or inadvisable to con-
tinue it's policy of censorship longer.
the House naval affairs committee to-
day disclosed that the Coolidge adj
ministration's naval building program
slated to begin next year would cost
more than four billions of dollars in
stead. of $800,000,000 as heretofore
reported.
The official navy department esti-
mate is $4,176, 1000, the committee
disclosed after several members of
the committee had walked out of the
session in protest against further sup
preston Of the news of the republican
administrators huge imperialistic
war construction program.
Secrecy Was Policy.
Chairman Butler continued to in
sist on secrecy, on the protext that
the estimates must be further
studied" Rep. McClintic 3D., Okla.)
left the room. Others followed. Some
said they had all been enjoined to
secrecy.
1--WE may never publish them; we
may tear them up" one member of
the committee is reported to have
said, referring to the official navy
estimates.
Nicaragua War Cited.
At previous hearings considerable
confusion prevailed as to the probable
cost of the program, due to the Jug
Cling of figures and facts by the ad-
ministration's key-men in the COM
mittee. The official estimate of the
program, for which construction is
already authorized and under way, is
now shown to be several times the
amount originally announced to the
public.
Widespread protest from workers
and liberal organizations against the
waging Of a war of invasion against
Nicaragua is given as one of the
reasons for the administration hesi-
fancy to make its military plans for
the future known.

N Y SHOE WORKERS
Want OWN UNION
Miller Plant Holds
Wages Back

About three weeks ago the I. Miller
Shoe Co. in Long Island City an
nounced wage cut of 10 cents pair.
In the meantime one morning two
workers from the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party gave out leaflets to the
workers as they were coming into the
shop. When the boss saw them he
called the police station and had them
taken to the station
At II o'clock of the same day, the
boss called committee of the COM
pany union into the office and in
formed them that the company would
not press the wage cut at that time.
Same as Last Year.
The boss tried the same trick last
year when he called in the chairman
of the company union to dictate the
most favorable terms for himself and
to find out how the men would take
a 10 cent cut per pair. But even that
strikebreaker of a chairman refused
the cut. I. Miller has cut wages
enough since by holding back from
each man $50. He also forces the
workers to make double the number
of shoes that they used to make.
The worst feature in the shop is the
agreement on damaged shoes. The
workers have to remake them for
nothing or pay the full price of the
shoes. In the last department if five
pairs Of shoes are damaged in week,
the boss collects so cents from every
man in the department. For seven
pairs Of damaged shoes he collects 81
from each man. There are 200 men
in that department.
Workers Want Union.
No matter how much the boss
watches, the workers will be organ
ized into real union some day. The
workers do not want the company
union and 1. Miller knows it.
1t is no wonder then that the leaf
let's frightened the boss so that now
he makes every worker show his
badge when he comes in every morn
ing.
Some day the boss will wake up and
find himself with a real union at his
door. Some of the workers have al
ready joined the Associated Shoe and
Slipper Workers Union, a progress
sive union led by bona fide progress
sive shoe workers.

ANTI-STRIKE LAW
is LOSING FAVOR
Criticism Shows How
Arbitration Works

While the rank and file of labor and
those of its representative who are
concerned with its true interests are
preparing to unite their forces in op-
position to the anti-strike bill now
being urged by the American Bar AS
sociation, julius Henry Cohen, chair
man of the committee which is head
ing the move, continues to issue the
regular daily ration of propaganda.
Announcement was made yesterday
that "More Labor Groups Back Peace
Plan" This statement is known to
be in response to the charge by the
DAILY WORKER that no local
unions have thus far indicated their
support of the proposed law. Upon
investigation, it was learned that the
Cloth, Hat, Cap and Millinery Work
ers' Union which is stated to have
come out in support of the measure,
had only sent in a request fer data.
This union while under a right
wing leadership which would not
hesitate to deliver the organization to
the employers under such plan as
is proposed, has nevertheless, because
it fears the anger of the rank and file,
refrained from doing so.

which the railroads have handicapped

Law. Scores of roads have per-
sistently violated the terms of the

4 DEAD, s. CAUGHT
IN A Mine BLAZE
Smoke and Flame Shut
Out All Hope

TIMMENS, Ontario, Feb. TO-
Thirty-five miners will be burned to
death if the flames which are sweep
ing thru the galleries of the Hollinger
mine here reach them before the
rescue parties. The miners are
trapped by the fire and virtually no
hope is held out for them.
Four Of the miners were burned
to death when the fire broke out on
the 550-foot level, roaring thru the
shafts and imprisoning the men be-
hind wall of sitting fumes and fire.
Handicapped by the smoke and
heat, rescue parties have made almost
no progress in the work Of saving the
trapped workers.
The company is blaming the fire on
spontaneous combustion of material
scattered along the slope. Why the
material WAS there is not stated.

"On the basis of statements to the
effect that Governor Smiths unem-

GUS proposals to meet the serious sit
uation facing hundreds of thousands
of workers in New York City and In
the state of New York, we decided to
place concrete proposals before the

told that specially selected organiza-

"This action on the part of the gov
