to be made, more than SO detectives,

clothes agents were posted around the
White House. The police surrounded
the pickets as soon as they assembled.
The demonstration was peaceful.
The pickets are charged with parad-
ing on government property without a

Crew of 43 Murdered by
Naval Incompetence

CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD,
BOSTON, March 10. Mute evil
dence of how the trapped crew in the
forward torpedo room of the wrecked
submarine S-4 fought for their lives
for hours was found in the mud clog
ged vessel this afternoon by naval
board of inspection which penetrated
the interior of the compartment.
Forty-three men had lost their lives
as result of alleged negligence on
the part of the navy department.
The door leading from the torpedo
room to the battery room had been
fastened with maui.
A crack in the glass of the door
had been plugged with sheet of rub
ber. The five men wore gas masks.
During their final hours they had
all taken to their berths in order to
conserve oxygen.
The bodies had been shaken from
the berths and were found in various
parts of the chamber.
The body of Lieut.. Graham N.
Fitch was on the floor under a work
bench on the starboard side near the
torpedo tubes, his head pointed aft.
Among the 214 questions the naval
inspectors were called on to answer
by an examination of the interior of
the Sd were the following:
How were the gas masks slowed in
the motor room?
Was any attempt made to use the
gas masks?

HOSIERY WORKERS
LOSE COURT FIGHT
Milwaukee Injunction
Made Permanent

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 19.-
After hearing Friday and Saturday,
in a Milwaukee Federal Court, Judge
Geiger yesterday made public his de-
cision to make permanent the tenn
porary anti-strike injunction he issued
recently against the striking knitters
of the Allen-A Hosiery Company
Kenosha, Wis.
Local officials aed attorneys of the
American Fedeaatfdn of Full-Fash-
ioned Hosiery Workers, in confer
ence with the Wisconsin State Fed
Grafton of Labor, and their national
heads declared that they will un-
doubtedly appeal against the vicious
injunction to the higher courts.
Demonstrations Made.
While the workers here endorse the
plan of carrying the fight to higher
courts, they are severely critical of
their allegedly progressive leader
ship for issuing instructions that the
drastic writ be carefully obeyed. De-
spite these orders several enthusias-
tic picket demonstrations were held
at the mill gates.
The latest move of the union Of
ficials, at least one of whom had
previously declared himself in favor
of violating injunctions, comes in for
especial condemnation. This is the
plea, entered in court for "modifi-
cation of the injunction, by the
union attorney. The union in this
action, pleads for permission from the
Judge to allow ten pickets to be
posted at the factory The judges
cynical declaration that he will take
the Hatter under "advisement" makes
certain the belief that even this will
never be granted.

WEST TRANKFORD, H., March

the Illinois miners to support the

received with thunderous applause
here yesterday when over one thous-

well known mine leader, denounce the
treacherous Lewis machine which has
tried to defeat the strike by signing

Terror is marching thru the an
thracite again. Following the
murder of Alex Campbell and Peter
Reilly, the mine bosses and their
agents, the wis-Cappelini gang,
has staged another killing. Hunger
and clubbing, bitter cold and jailing
have failed to break the militant
spirit of the striking miners. Murder
has become the favorite weapon of
capitalist marauders, determined to
drown in blood the miners struggle.
Months of famine, freezing winter,
and cossack terror have failed to COW
the spirit of the militant miners.
