Huge Worker Death Toll

Industry took savage toll of life
in New York State last month. Eight
men were electrocuted through con-
tact with live wires. Explosions
burned and scared the life out of six
workers. A welder and a carpenter
died of burns when their clothing
caught fire. One man was burned to
death when a pot of flaming paraffin
spilled over him. Another was burned
to death when the tank car from
which he was drawing gasoline caught
fire. Four window cleaners met
death in dizzy plunges. Five were
killed in falls from ladders and scat
folds. Among 191 victims to industry
were 10 women and eight children.
101 widows and "a children were left
by workers killed, according to a par
tial checkup.

GHENT, Belgium, June 24.-The

rayon workers arc blinded after two
or three years work.

BUY up PAPERS
Editors Work for Trust,
Evidence Shows

WASHINGTON, (FP), June "a
Tennessee newspapers have been sin
gularly plant and eager to serve the
private electric trust in its campaigns
to grab Muscle Shoals, evidence taken
by the Federal Trade Commission on
June % demonstrated. Guy P. New
burn, former newspaper man of Mem
phis and Mobile, director of the Ten
nessee Public Utilities Information
Bureau explained how this support of
the newspapers was secured.
In the first place, Newburn was a
"mixer" and knew most of the influ-
ential editors in Tennessee. Then he
employed as his assistant Hugh Doak
owner and editor of the most impor-
tant country weekly in the state, the
Manchester Times, at S225 month.
Doak had been provisional field sec
retary, for two years, of the State
Press Assn, and now is its presi-
dent. Giving dinners to editors, New
burn testified, was part of my
job" He and Doak both have an ex-
pense fund for editors.
Then there was Dan McGugin, ma
tionally famous football star and
coach of the Vanderbilt University
eleven, who is also a lawyer and is
publicity director for the power in
terests in eastern Tennessee. What
editor could hesitate to print an ar
ticle favorable to private ownership
of power plant, when Dan McGugin
handed it in?
Lobbyists Combine.
Major Stahlman of the Nashville
Banner had been credited with in
surgent views on the distribution of
surplus power from Muscle Shoals.
but he came into camp. There was
conference at Memphis, too, ar
ranged by G. A. Beasley, Washing
ton lobbyist for the Alabama Power
Co., with the late G. P. j. Mooney,
editor of the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, in 1926. Mooney was prompt
ly converted to support of the Asso-
ciated Power Companies bid for
Muscle Shoals, and opposed the Cy-
animid bid for that giant source of
power. When nine publicity agents
for the power combine were sum-
moned to Washington at the time the
Associated Power Companies bid was
made, Newburn called up Mooney by
long-distance phone, and arranged
that the Commercial Appeal should
broadcast the story which Newburn
wrote for the papers Washington cor
respondent.
Maintains Magazines.
This Tennessee propaganda bureau
of the power combine issues month
ly magazine containing numerous at
tacks on public ownership. These are
sent to schools, libraries and utility
offices, as well as to state legislators.
Newburn printed in this magazine
last December an article taken from
the financial column of the New York
Telegram, Scripps-Howard newspa-
per, wherein Ralph Hendershott, it's
financial editor, said of the Walsh
resolution for investigation of the
power trust: Though entirely un-
called for, such an investigation would
probably react favorably rather than
unfavorably toward the companies in
question. If nothing else, it would
probably prove beyond doubt, to d
certain type of politician, that the
days when they could make political
capital out of attacking legitimate
business enterprises are past :. The
companies should have no difficulty
in proving to Congress that their
business is being conducted both legi-
timately and ethically."
