Weisbord Also Urges
Workers to Aid

The relief work of the Workers
International Relief received the
praise and endorsement of two of
the outstanding leaders of the left
wing unions in the needle trades and
textile industries yesterday. Ben
Gold for the furriers, and Albert
Weisbord, secretary of the new Ma

their endorsement of the w. /. R.

at is essential that workers build
up and support their own central
lied and efficient relief organiza-
tions," said Ben Gold. "Not only
during strikes, but between such
crises, there are destitute workers,
blacklisted by the bosses because
they are militant and revolutionary,
or who, through their loyalty to the
left wing and their. activities in
strikes or organizational work, have
suffered and are badly in need of
help. We must build up the w. l.
R. so that it can give such work
ers and their families the aid re-
CURED"
Albert Weisbord praised the re-
lief work done by the w. l. R. in
New Bedford. SIN answer to the
bosses attempt to starve, Jail and
freeze the striking textile workers
into submission to wage reductions
and the speed-up system, the w. 1.
r. has answered with food, cloth
ing and Defense" Weisbord said.
Every militant worker should join
the w. l. R. and help build up a
strong relief organization. All who
can should participate in the Tag
Days today and tomorrow"

Funds to Socialists

(Wdeless to the Dolly Worker)
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 16. = The
Swedish trade unions resolved to-
day, in the face Of strong protest
from the Communists, to present
the social-democratic party with
$4,000 crowns.
Recently the Railwaymen's Union
Committee gave the social-demo-
cratic party $4,000 crowns from the
treasury again against the will of
the Communists. Members Of the
unions are protesting.

If there ever was calling for

seamen of the Vestris.
For according to the press, which
is somewhat afraid of that rich crew
which runs the l.. & H., the captain
has been absolved by going down
with his ship, so now the blame
must be fastened on the Negro crew
of the Vestris.

Negro seamen Morris and Burton at
the Norfolk Naval Hospital was sup
pressed, their heroism was so great
that even the Wyoming officers
could not omit mention of it in their
$1,000 story to the press.
They risked their own lives in or
der to save two women passengers,
swimming for hours in the water and
supporting them, an act which to
many seamen appears to be short OF
foolhardiness.
From other accounts, the heroism
of the crew shines like beacon, in
face of the reproaches now being
hailed at them by the passengers,
some of whom they rescued.
The newspapers say very little Of
this, now that the men are to be tried
for living.

(Wtreless to the Daily Worker.)
BERLIN, Nov. Negotiations
were resumed today in Dusseldorf
on the metal conflict in the Ruhr
with no results. The proceedings
were secret although they involved
the fate of thousands of workers.
The resistance of the workers
against the reformist leaders is

thrown out at Dortmund, Bochum
and Gelsenkirchen. A fighting COM
mittee was elected by the workers
to take leadership in Duisburg and

"Vestris Grew Called to Tell Why
They Live"
This black, large type headline in
the New York Telegram, pierced the
hearts of seamen like knife. The
seamen must die, they must excuse
themselves for living. Passengers
must live, they are the exalted King
Neptunes of the sea.
The docks yesterday were sullen
curse hurled at the bourgeoisie. The
seamen's working class conscious
ness is rallying to the Negro Vestris
crew held under guard at the Sea-
mems Church Institute, while the
bourgeois class consciousness is rail-
lying in the newspaper columns of
their newspapers. The newspapers
print only their news and thrust
burning slurs at the Negro seamen.

DISASTER PROBE
HELD UNDER EYES
OF DETECTIVES
Radio Man on Ship
BroWbeaten
by Federated Press)

II the true story of the wreck of
the ,LamPert and Holt lousy and
hungry liner Vestris is ever told,
it will be no fault of the shipping
company. A youth just out of the
wireless school sat in the witness
chair at the hearing of the disas-
ter being conducted in New York
and for one hour insisted he remem-
bered little or nothing of messages
he had sent out, of the timing of
the messages or of the condition of
the vessel.
His hesitation in answering ques-
tons and his agitated chances to-
ward the back of the courtroom
finally brought the charge that an
agent, presumably of the steamship
line, was prompting his answers by
signals. Cut off from his prompter,
the lads answers grew DINNER and
DINNER until he was signed off by
the impatient government attorney.
Intimidate Workers.
In private conversation, the 49,
year-old wireless operator had told
the United States attorney that a
message had been sent the day be-
fore the disaster, eve may need
aid" On the stand he denied
knowledge of any such message.
Another witness, an assistant
pantryman with a camera, told an
trrefutable story in the pictures he
had taken. At 8 a. m. of the day
the Vestris sank with ITO men,
women and children, the ship was
tilted over at a 35-degree angle.
But no radio appeal for help had
been sent. At 10 a. m. vessels were
told that help might be needed and
at IL a. m. the S. O. S. was flashed,
but the nearest vessel with radio
equipment was nearly 400 miles
away.
Business First Always!
Fer masts scarcely hidden under
the horizon, the Montosa of the
Porto Rico Line was. passing. With
in an hour of the S. o. S., and two
hours before the Vestris went to
the bottom, she could have been at
the scene. The American owners
Of the line, in the interests Of econ
omy, had removed the radio equip
ment from the Montosa in 1920,
From terrorized seamen of the
Vestris, under the scrutiny of Lam
pert and Holt agents in the court
room, came reluctant admission
that the Vestris had collided in New
York harbor before her last voy-
age. From them also came descrip-
tons Of the open coal port, Of seas
that washed in, Of so seamen trying
to bail the ocean out of the Vestris
with buckets.
Vestris sailors had been ordered
not to speak to reporters, had been
herded into the Seamen's Church
Institute under the eyes Of vigilant
detectives and had received instruc-
tons to forget as much as possible
in the courtroom. If they hope for
jobs Fat sea again, when thousands
of sailors are jobless in New York
harbor, they were told not to aid
the official inquiry.

Lung Expected to Save
Scores of Lives in
Future Disasters.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-For a
w second time within a year the
submarine S-4 is fated to sprawl
helplessly upon the seas f1oor-but
this time as an agent OF life and
science.
1t is as though the Navy Depart
ment wanted to give the S-4
chance to compensate for the grim
role it played last December when,
rammed and crippled, it trapped
forty men off the Cape Cod coast.
True, it will be but recondi-
toned hulk of the craft that went
down off Provincetown. But a hulk
in the interest of life is some i'm
provement over a trim ship that
coQuets with death.
Lieutenant to Risk Life
Hazard still is to have a hand in
the game. A man is pitting his in
ventive ingenuity against the haIdi-
caps of the underwater elements.
That man is Lieut.. G. B. MomSen
Of the United States Navy.
Some day he will steps out of the
S-4, after it has been sunk in 1875
feet of water in lower Chesapeake
Bay, near Hampton Roads, and
unless his device fails him-he will
rise slowly to the surface.
In the probable event of sue
cessful escape, one or two other
Navy men will follow him, demon
strating the dependability of res
cue device which is expected to save
innumerable lives in the future.
The device which will enable
Lieutenant Momsen and his collao-
orators to escape from the S-4, as
many of the submarines original
crew might have escaped had they
been equipped with it, is called "the
lung" In appearance it is more
or less like gas mask.

LESLIE REVIEWS
HIS ATTACK ON
RALSTON RULE
But Expresses Personal
Esteem for Late Governor
of Indiana.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WABASH, Ind, Oct. 13.-Resent-
ment aroused by his recent attack
on the late Samuel M. Ralston
caused Harry G. Leslie, Republican
gubernatorial nominee, to profess
deep regard for the former Demo-
cratic Governor in the course of his
speech here Friday night.
In his third opening address" at
FIT. Wayne Tuesday night, Leslie had
referred to the administrations OF
Ralston and Marshall as the time
when a Hoosier Tammany held
scandalous sway in the Statehouse."
Refers Again to Ralston
With an ear to the adverse crit
iciSm which came from Republican
as we'll as Democratic ranks, Leslie
said apologetically Friday night:
Everybody in Indiana loved and
honored the late Samuel M. Ralston,
who sat in the Governors chair in
the period from 1913 to 1917. 1 give
way to no man, not even to Frank
Daley, in paying tribute to my good
benign and lovable character"
But with Ralston's administration,
Leslie was unrelenting. "Unfortun-
ately, a we'll meaning Governor,
hedged about by Tammany men who
know exactly what they want, is not
in a position to make much of a
record" he said.
1T is with the record of the dis
credited and disreputable Tammany
organization which now asks to be
returned to power that we are
dealing.
Mr.. Daley hides behind the pic
ture of good old Sam Ralston and
seeks to make that gentleman the
issue. The trick is typical of Tam
many and Daley"
Praises Governor Jackson
He described Ralston's admins
tration as mad carnival of ex-
tragance, waste, incompetence, graf
and buffoonery staged at the State
house and over the commonwealth
by the same organization that nov
fiocks with Daley"
Leslie went back fifteen years tc
the legislatures of 1918 and 1915
with the criticism Frank Daley was
not crusading at that particular
time"
Dailey's friends. however, reflected
that Daley at that time was en-
gagged in the prosecution of election
fraud cases. having been appointed
United States attorney Jan. l, 1914
He obtained convictions in more
than sixty cases before surrenderine
the post Jan. l, 1916.
Leslie concluded his address with
praise for Governor JackSon's ad-
ministration.

"Of this magic age business Is
