VERMONT FARMER
RUINED BY FLOOD
Land Destroyed, Stock
Gone, Lot Hopeless

The devastated condition of the
farmlands of Vermont constitute q
serious drawback to the rehabilitation
of these farms, according to a survey
completed by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The floods Of last November. fol-
lowed by the spring floods, have
wrecked havoc with the small farms
and meadowlands. In spite of the
serious danger of further erosion and
back-sliding of the river banks, the
government has as yet done nothing
The task is too great for the farmers
to handle alone, since it requires the
building Of dams, dikes and ietties.
which is quite out of the question for
the already exhausted farmers, who
are threatened with complete annihil-
alton.
Many of the farms were covered
with a layer of unproductive earth
and gravel, livestock washed away
homes ruined and huge boulders tax
ing the place of chicken-houses and
barns. 1t is estimated that 10000
acres of meadowland have been en-
tirely ruined, and the remainder re-
quire complete reseeding.

ISSUE APPEAL TO
Defend WORKERS
Scab Mines Indifferent
to Life

An appeal for funds to help defend
the 16 workers who were arrested
Tuesday afternoon when police at
tackled en- enti-imperialist demonstra-
tion in Wall Street was issued last
night by the New York section of
the International Labor Defense
which has taken charge of the de-
Tense work. The appeal, signed by
Rose Baron, secretary of the section,
says in part:
"The international Labor Defense
secured the temporary release of all
those arrested and they will come up
for hearing Monday. The /. L. D.
also furnished bail Of $500 for Rob-
ert Minor and $1,000 for Nathan
Kaplan. For all this defense work
immediate funds are necessary. Not
one of those arrested must be sent
tc Jail for even single day, or a
precedent will be set which will be
lsco against militant workers in the
future. The International Labor De-
Tense appeals to all class-conscious
workers to save their comrades from
the Justice of the capitalist courts by
sending funds for their defense to
its office, T99 Broadway, Room 422.
"The !. L. d. also asks all workers
to aid its work by attending ell masse
the great outing which it is arrang-
ing in Pleasant Bay Park for Satur-
Gay, July Fl. All the proceeds of
this outing will be used for the de !.
Tense of workers in the clutches of
the capitalist courts"

AUSTRALIA GOVT.
PASSES DRASTIC
ANTI-STRIKE LAW
Reactionaries Aim to
Wipe Out Unions

SYDNEY, July 5,--The Australian
parliament has just passed a labor
law that is even more severe than the
British anti-strike legislation, This
instrument of suppression has been
passed in land whose six states
either have a "labor" government or
had one for a short time.
The new law forbids everything
which has "the character of strike
or an uprising" not approved by the
Higher Court of Arbitration, The
penalties are set at 1000 pounds fine
for an organization and so pounds
for single person, but when the or
ganization excludes it's militant lead
ers the fine may be cut from 1000
pounds to 100. So when a union in
Australia gets rid of it's most revo-
lutionary leaders it can save itself a
cost of 900 pounds sterling.
The law further provides for null
LITIGATION of organization charters,
which practically means that union,
at the time of an industrial conflict,
is recognized only as collaboration
partner. If the law would only go
one step further it would mean the
entire destruction of legal unions.
The law also provides for the wip-
ing out of union laws that are judged
to be dangerous, and can override the
will of the union leaders. Anyone
who publishes anything against the
lawful carrying out of these decisions
will be fined 100 pounds.

MILITANT LEADER

BEHIND BETRAYAL
Coal Diggers Will Not

Especial to The Daily worker.)

A2PECAd1 W l IlS AdlAN WOThGI.y
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 5.-"Johr
L. Lewis is now ready to surrender
the Jacksonville SCALE" John Watt
chairman of the Arrangements Com
mittee of the National Miners con-
vention called for September Ole to
organize a new miners union, de-
clared in a statement issued today
"Lewis's whole strike policy was
aimed at bringing the miners to the
point of exhaustion, when a wage cut
could be forced on them, and he is
now taking the final step. This is
the real purpose of the meeting of
the policy committee called by
Lewis" Watt said.
In his statement Watt showed that
the ostensible reason for the meeting
of the policy committee, the demand
of Fishwick's executive board that
the Illinois district be allowed to me
gotiate a separate agreement" is OBJ
viously false, since Lewis's publicly
declared strike policy was based all
along on negotiating separate agree
ments.
Opposed by Militants
This policy was fought from the
very beginning of the strike by the
progressives in the u. M. w. A. as
leading to the isolation of the miners
of western Pennsylvania and Ohio,
where the main attack on the miners
union was taking place.
Fishwick's executive board really
demanded permission to abandon the
Jacksonville scale, and this was given
support in resolutions passed within
the past two or three weeks by a
number of locals in Illinois which are
still controlled by the Lewis-Fishwick
'orces. According to Watt, Lewis
will now submit to the pressure"
rom the Illinois miners, engineered
bv himself and Fishwick, and will
abandon the Jacksonville scale, al
lhough the public statement that will
be issued by the policy committee
following its meeting may be couched
in vague and evasive terms.
Miners Undaunted
The effect Of this on the membership
Of the U. M. W. A., Watt said, will be
to increase their determination to get
rid of their false leaders and to bring
larger numbers of them to the new
progressive union which will be or
ganized at the September convention.

ers against the 10 per cent wage slash.
Another fact indicating the purpose
of the conference was presented by
qualified observers who said that the
mill owners hope thru the calling of
this hearing to demoralize the ranks
of the strikers in preparation for the
coming Monday. According to a re-
cent decision of the mill owners they
will make an attempt to reopen the
mills then.
Big Demonstration.
The Textile Mills Committee lead
ers, however, are confident that the
picketing demonstration arranged for
this Monday will be so tremendous in
size as to compel the bosses to again
close The plants. The sentiment
among the striking tens of thousands
shows that New Bedford will see the
greatest manifestation of working
class solidarity in the history of New
England's labor struggles, the union
leaders declared.
That the union leadership partici-
pate in no conferences, nor join in
calling one until the mill barons are
ready to give a preliminary guarantee
that the 10 per cent wage cut order
will be withdrawn, is the sentiment
of the strikers.
IF negotiations are to be held" the
workers say, "let there be negotia-
tions over our other demands" This
refers to the demands put forward
by the Textile Mills Committee and
among which are 20 per cent wage
raise and a hour week.
"Impartiality."
An interesting fact that can be re-
lated is that one Of the members of
the State Arbitration Board is at the
same time the chief official of the
Mule Spinners Union of the Textile
Council, Samuel Ross. His member
ship on the board requires that he be
strictly impartial in controversy be-
tween the workers and the bosses.
Not only are the bosses satisfied with
his impaftiality, but his speeches to
the strikers, in which he scolded them
for not wearing cotton instead of silk
stockings, shows him to be more than
partial--to the bosses.
This morning saw, large and enthu-
siastic picket lines covering many
mills at both ends of the town.
At the Whitman Mill about several
hundred pickets of the Textile Mills
Committee marched. Suddenly from
around the corner came line of about
half hundred pickets of the Textile
Council. They tried several times to
outmaneuver the Textile Mill Com
mittee pickcts and cut them off from
the mill gate. Their leader stated
that under no circumstances would
their line leave before the Textile
Mill Committee members. But by
about eleven o'clock all the Mill Com
ittee members were still there while
the Council pickets had completely
faded away.

Erie Railroad Inspector
Admits Pay From City

The republiean-c controlled Sta e
Legislative committee Of New Jersey,
seeking to forestall exposure OF G. 0.
P. corruption moved yesterday to
make public the huge graft in Mayor
Frank Hague's regime in Jersey City.
According to statement by the
committee, an analysis of the pay
rolls of jersey City contains enough
political dynamite to blow up the
Hague democratic machine. Hague is
vice-chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee in addition to be-
ing mayor of Jersey City.
An investigation now being con-
Quoted by the committee revealed that
John Quirk, $50 Pavonia Ave-, who
has been an inspector and supervisor
for the Erie Railroad for forty-five
years, has at the same time been on
Jersey City or Hudson County pay
rolls internationally since 1911, and
that since last April he has been
drawing 81 day as a street con-
struction inspector for the Hudson
County Boulevard Commission,
Mayors Kin on Payroll
At the hearing last week, it was
brought out that sister and a
brother of the mayor are drawing
salaries from the city for services"
that have not yet been definitely dis
covered.
During the questioning, Quirk adj
mitted that his job on the Erie rail-
road was supervising the loading of
freight of eight stations and several
docks in Jersey City, and that he had
about 80 men under his control. For
this he receives, he said, $3.50 month.
Can't Remember His Job,
Considering the time that this work
requires, the fact that he has held
many other Getty jobs" for years has
thrown the question of graft into the
foreground. He testified that in 1911
and 1912 he was employed by the Fire
Commission at $1,000 a year, and for
a half year in 1918 by the Police
Commission, After that he was given
"odd Jobs" as inspector of streets
and public works" at Sc day. Since
then he has had city jobs "when-
ever there was a chance to get one"
Under examination, however, he was
unable to give any details of the work
he was supposed to inspect.

RUTH OFF ON
FLYING START
TO NEW RECORD
Bambino Playing Best
Ball of His Career
At Present.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

NEW YORK, May 15-Babc
Ruth is off to. "a flying start in
quest of new home run record.
Hitting his ninth home run o.
the season yesterday, off Elam Van
glider of the Tigers, Ruth today
was three days and two games
ahead of his 1927 record. The Bam-
hino did not hit number nine last
year until his 27th game against
Detroit on May II.
When the Rambino hung up his
record of 60 home runs last season,
the baseball world agreed that it
would stand for many years and
might never be shattered under the
same existing conditions. Yet here
the Babe comes back the very next
season swinging along at even a
faster clip.
Ruth did not get his first home
run this season until the second
game of double header at Boston
Aprii 10. Several other suggcrs,
including Joe llauscr of the Ath-
letics, stole march on the Babe,
hut it did not take him long to
catch up.
Lou Gchrig, Babe S tcammatc and
friendly rival, hit his seventh homer
of the 1927 season on May /, and
his eighth on May 10. Thus far
Gchrig has hit only five home runs.
in II games, Joe Ilauscr, the
Athletics first baseman, has hit
seven home runs. With two strong
rivals in IIauscr and Gehrig snap
ping at his heels, the Pabc might
raise the hom" run roof farther
than any ono dreamed him capable.
Ruth has been playing some of
the best bail of his career. He leads
both leagues in runs scored with 81
and boasts batting average Of
