ONLY STARTER
FOR PROGRAM
IN naval RACE
Wall Street Investment
To Be Safe

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. Eight
hundred million dollars for a new
warship construction program was
asked by Secretary of the Navy Will
bur before the House Naval Commit
tee yesterday. Consideration of naval
programs of other powers has con-
vinced him that "America needs a
first class navy" he said.
1t was later reported that Secre-
tary Wilbur considers that this re-
quest is only a starter for 20-year
building and replacement program.
The sum of $800,000,0OO would cover
only the next five years, in the sec
retary's opinion.
The proposed 20-year program
would provide for forty-three 10000
ton cruisers as well as additional sub
marines and destroyers.
The immediate program calling for
the expenditure of more than three
fourths of billion dollars would pro-
vide 25 cruisers, 80 submarines, 9 de-
stroyer leaders and 5 aircraft car
riers, all to protect Wall Streets in
vestments in China, Nicaragua and
other countries.

|. R. 7. DECISION
AIDS UNION WORK

The reversal by the Court of Ap-
peals of the injunction granted
against the leaders of the 1926 Inter-
borough strike has had the effect of
speeding up organization steps among
the traction workers, according to an
announcement made yesterday after
noon at the Amalgamated headquar-
ters, Continental Hotel, Broadway
and 41st st.
'This decision" it was stated,
SHOULD help US in our other proceed
ing which comes up for hearing on
Jan. 23rd" At the same time this Of
ficial pointed out that the situation
had somewhat changed since the first
injunction was granted. The Inter-
borough has in the meantime issued
a new form of "yellow-dog" contract
covering the precise clause, one speci-
flying a definite term of contract,
which forms the basis of the Court
of Appeals. reversal of the first in
junction.
Cannot Win in the Courts.
The case, so far as the injunction
is concerned, appears to be where it
was. In denying the injunction, the
Court of Appeals was careful to add
that the principle of the injunction
was not reversed. 1t was stated that
the one gran ed was "too broad" and
that another firm might be secured.
Notwithstanding the announcement
of the Amalgamated officers, it is
known that the workers on the road
have lost all confidence in the method
of fighting the organization battle IN
the courts, and advocate open viola
ton of such court orders.

PREVENT FACTS
BEING KN0 W N
Crew Tried to Save
Clothing in Fire

About 120 members of the under
paid all-C Chinese crew of the Dollar
Line vessel President Polk were Sc
verely beaten with clubs by special
Dollar Line dock guards in Jersey
City, when they attempted to rescue
their belongings from fire that
threatened the ship and their own
lives early yesterday.
Only meager reports of the attack
were available late yesterday. Every
effort is being made by the American
officers of the vessel, the Dollar Line
office, the special police and Dock
Capt. Abenetti to prevent reports
from circulating.
Crew Seeks Safety.
Fire broke out on the President
Polk at Pier 9 shortly after midnight
in the forward hold. 1t spread swift
ly and threatened the entire vessel.
Later, apparently about dawn, the
crew threw their belongings into
hasty bundles and gathered on deck
at the gang plank, thinking to find
safety for themselves and security for
their belongings on the pier.
Quartermaster Arthway called for
help and large squad of special dock
police charged the defenseless Chinese
seamen as they started down the
gang plank. Clubs were swung right
and left, according to longshoremen
and other dock workers.
Held AS Prisoners.
The seamen were herded on the
burning vessel again, according to
witnesses, though the vessel by that
time was listing badly from the water
being poured into the hold from fire
boats. They are held virtual prison
ers on board the President Polk a..

dent many are believed now to be

lation police night sticks at all times.

Washington County on Thursday be-
fore the evictions that the miners
had three or four more days grace
before the eviction orders would be
executed. But on Saturday when
Durisek noticed Lieutenant Landon
outside Ventura's home with his
Thompson machine gun, he went into
the house and asked the deputy sheriff
who was experimenting the eviction,
why was the promise of a three or
four days grace violated, and why
were the families being thrown out
before the barracks were ready?
The deputy replied that "they had
nine months to get these here bar

Z Miners Families Duuen Into
Cold, Furniture rs Smashed

DAISYTOWN, Pa, Jan. 11.-With
Thompson automatic rifles levelled
at them, seven families Of striking
miners were driven out of the Vesta
(Four) Coal Company houses here
last Saturday into the biting cold of
a Pennsylvania winter before the
crude barracks which the union was
building to accommodate them were
not yet ready for occupancy. Two
other families were evicted in Cali
fornia and Richville, making a total
of nine.
50-Shot Rifle.
Men, women and children, shivering
as they left the homes in which they
lived for decades while the bread
winners worked for the coal bosses,
gazed into the business end of a fifty
shot rifle held in the hands of Lieu
tenant Thomas C. Landon, in COM
mand of the Vesta coal and iron
police.
Members of one hundred and fifty
other miners households looked sui
lenly on knowing that their turn
would be next.
The first man to be evicted was
Mike Ventura who lost one leg in this
same Vesta four mine, where he
worked for fifteen years.
Another evicted miner had worked
for the company for twenty years and
during that time had paid for the COM
pany house in which he lived many
times over in rent.
The Gvicted miners furniture was
pitched violently into trucks and
dumped on the roadside, some of it
being smashed.

cLUBBED BY Cop;
FINED BY JUDGE

BENJAMIN Baraz, business agent of
the Joint Board Furriers Union, was
fined SIS yesterday in Jefferson Mar
ket Court by Magistrate Dodge after
having been brutally beaten up and
arrested by policeman in the fur
market, at 29th st. and 9th Ave., on
Tuesday afternoon.
Baraz had been participating in a
discussion in the fur market, where
hundreds of unemployed furriers con-
gregate in the hope of finding few
hours work. Here the workers gather
in groups to discuss the struggle
their uniin is making against the de-
structive attacks of the right wing.
Cop Aids Right Wingers.
A few right wingers had been cor
nered in the middle of the group and
Baraz was making them feel very un-
comfortable when cop pushed his
way through and with a blow to
Baraz's face ordered him away. When
he insis ed on his right to stay there
and began to jot. down the police
mans number, he was thrown to the
ground, severely dubbed and then ar
rested. At the police station on 30th
St. he was freed on 5000 bond
Workers insist they saw him being

winger just before the assault.

FUR DRESSERS TO
ACT ON WAGE CUT

A joint meeting of Locals 25 OF
Newark and So of Brooklyn is to de-
eide this afternoon at Stuyvesant
Casino whether they are willing to
arbitrate the question of reduction
in wages which their bosses have de-
manded.
This was the decision arrived at by
the union Representatives at confer
ence with the Consolidated Rabbit
Dressers Association held Tuesday at
the Hotel McAlpin. Altho the en-
ployers had persistently demanded a
wage reduction of 25 per cent at all
the previous conferences, they showed
great desire to arbitrate the ques-
ton on Tuesday.
Overrule Right Winger.
The union refused to arbitrate,
stating that the present agreement
was to have been in force till June,
and that the manufacturers demand
was a violation of this contract. How
ever, they want to show the bosses
the attitude of the membership.
This joint meeting of the two To-
Gals will be the first of its kind since
the dispute with the bosses arose sew
eral months ago. Moe Harris, right
wing manager of the Brooklyn local
had persistantly refused to consider
the proposals of the Newark local,
that both unions meet jointly to con-
slider their problems, which were iden-
tical. Harris membership, however,
insisted on joint action, after an ad-
dress made by Morris LANCER, left
wing leader of the Newark dressers,
at Brooklyn membership meeting
last Thursday.

RUSH MARINES

Nicaraguans Gone With

eighteen miles from Chinandega,
which was captured by an armed

The marines found only the empty
town which the patrol had evacuated
several hours before, carrying with
them machine gun, rifles and sew
eral thousand rounds of ammunition.
When the armed patrol troops at

aguans of the National Guard turned
their guns against their American
marine commander, forcing him to
take refuge in a nearby village. They
then joined forces with the victorious
attackers.
