SHIP CRASH IN
CANAL BLOCKS

Millions of Bushels of Wheat
Kept from Sea by Welland
Channel Wreck
STORM CAUSES MIsHAP
Scores of Ships Tied Up Caus-
ing Thousands of Dollars
Loss to Shippers

st. Catharines, Ont, Sept. a.
R)-A Norwegian steamer loaded
with pulp lay across the Welland
canal today, blocking from the sea
millions of bushels Of wheat. Of
ficials estimated it would take at
least three days to put the canal
back into operation.
The Norwegian freighter Doris
crashed into the gates here 1t !
o'clock yesterday morning during 4
hard blow, when the houser hauling
her through the canal slipped.
Waters released by the crash swept
away the two upper gates, one Of
the lower ones, tore out . weir on
the south side Of the canal, and
swept over the north wall. The
freighter dropped her anchor when
the water swept her against the
side Of the canal, and the big flukes
caughter the mitre sill Of the gate
and tore that out.
With the grain movement at its
height and the canal in use day and
night, officials estimated the tie-up
would cost thousands Of dollars In
actual loss to the grain boats alone
while they are held inactive with full
crews. The damage to the canal
also runs into thousands Of dollars.
No estimate could be made as ia
the probable loss in late marketing
Of the wheat.
Thirteen freighters, most Of them
loaded with grain, were in the canal
today, 13 moro were 1t Port Dal-
housie on Lake Ontario waiting to
get through, and - many more lake
steamers were 1T Port Colborne or
Lake Erie waiting to unload their
grain into storage elevators, where
it is placed on canal boats for trans.
fer through the locks. II was esti.
mated that over $500, 900 bushel,
of wheat were aboard the waiting
fleet at Port Colborne alone.

miles. long, aad connects. Lakes On

Labelling Herbert Hoover as the
Good Man Friday" Of American
Imperialism, Benjamin Gitlow, vice
presidential candidate on the Com
munist ticket, challenged the G. O.
P. standard bearer on the statement
made by him in his Pslo Alto &C.
ceptAuce speech that "unemploy-
inent hithessenss of distress Is rap
idly disappearing" and pointed to
the claim that, there were 4,000, ,00O

that Hoover distorted facts in his
attempt to establish the Republican
party as the party Of prosperity"
Gitlow spoke in Bismarck Satur-

ing come here from Virginia, Min
nesota, where he spoke the night be-
fore. He is touring the United
States in the interest Of his candi-
dacy as well as that il William z.
Foster, Communist candidate for
the presidency.
"The low wages paid in the tex
tile industry, the 100000 unem-
ployed, the bankrupt and poverty
stricken farmers, the wage cut in
coal, automobile, textile, shoe and
other industries are sufficient proof
that things are not rs rosy as Mr..
Hoover painted them," Gitlow said.
Gitlow asked why Hoover failed
to state his position on the "war" in
Nicaragua; if he favors the prepara-
tions Of the United States for war
with Japan over Chinese markets;
why he did not protest against the
death Of the two workers, Sacco and
vanzetti; why the Soviet govern
lnent is not recognized in the United
States; and other questions.
Gitlow in his whole speech con-
demned the G. O. p. nominee, while
he did not mention the Democratic
candidate more than once during his
talk.
