holdup bullets, which he claimed were
fired from Sacco's gun.
Bureau Unregistered.
GoddA-l. a physician and former
army officer, was merely an amateur
in firearms testing when he set up
shop in 1925 as the Bureau Of
ovensic Ballistics," The bureau it.
i was in violation of statutes be-
cause it was not registered and be-
use the impression was allowed to
prevail that it was connected with
some federal department.
Before he leaped into notoriety
through his analysis" of the mortal
bullets in the South Braintree case,
Goddard had handled only one court
case. But he had flooded the press
with publicity concerning his
methods, which he claimed were
scientific and infallible, when Cover
nor Fuller of Massachusetts promised
a review Of the Sacco-V anzetti case.
He Was Paid For 1t.
Sensing a rare chance to grab the
national limelight, Goddard went to

prejudiced public opinion against the
two labor men while the case was in
its crucial stage.
On the strength of the Sacco testi-
mony, Goddard was called by Cleve-
land police to investigate the case of

gun as the one from which the mortal
bullet was fired.

Later the guns manufacturers said
that the weapon had not even been

had not been sold until a month after.

PITTSBURGH, (By MaiD. - The
National Save the Miners Union
Conference adjourned at ten thirty
Monday night, it's enthusiasm grow
ing till the last moment, in actual
fact, as just before the chairman's
concluding summary all delegates
rose and cheered the delegation from
Colorado at that time marching into
the hall after battling snowstorms
for days in the Rocky Mountains and
Great Plains.
Miners In Fighting Spirit.
The conference adjourned after
eleven hours Of hearing and discuss
ing resolutions in order to give stand
ing committees and district delega-
ton meetings a chance to meet and
make detailed plans for carrying out
the main strategy decided upon in the
general sessions. Committee meet
ings were in some cases called to
order at twelve midnight.
AS word was brought in of the
ruthless expulsions of delegates by
the Lewis machine, or further threats
of evictions, of cutting off of relief
already by various district machines
from the families of militants, and
sometimes from whole locals, the
fighting spirit grew.
The program of the National Save
the-Union Committee calling for dis
trict conventions with or without the
consent of the Lewis and district ma
chimes, to throw out all tainted by
Lewisism, and elect honest and mill
tant officials for the districts, was
adopted with a shout of unanimous
approval. The resolution had already
been adopted by the committee Of
Representatives of the various dele,
cations the night before, and con-
Cured in by the district delegations
Negro Miners Represented.
After it was introduced, some
question arose as to whether repre-.
sentatives of the Negro mine work.
ers had been placed on the standing
committees, and the consideration Of
the resolution to adopt the program
was held up while the conferenc,
voted that the Negro delegate:
should take their places on the plat
form as representative Of theil
whole oppressed race The Negro
brothers marched to the platform
while the delegates rose and cheered
Before the program was finally
and solemnly voted upon, three
amendments were offered by the
resolutions committee and adopted
The first was on Negro workers
and declared that ''iuasmuch as the
number of Negro mine workers is
continually increasing, although they
are as continually Disseminated
against by both the bosses and ths
organized bureaucracy which re-
CARDS Negro workers as dues paying
members only, the conference de-
mands equal pay for equal work and
full rights in the union for Negro
WOIheTS.
Resolution on Young Miners.
The second amendment related t.
another great section of particularly
exploited workers, the youth. Young
miners, the amendment states, are
not only given, with the consent Of
the Lewis machine, lower pay for the
same sort of work, but according to
the Jacksonville agreement, made by
Lewis, certain sorts Of work are re.
legated to the youth and placed on g
lower paid basis. The amendment de.
mands that young miners also have
equal pay for equal work, that nc
one under eighteen years of age shall
work underground, and that for the
young miners there shall be six
hour day.

PARE STATE BUDGET
General Fund Cut to Leave
23-Cent Levy.

Final disposition of funds, which
will permit the Indiana tax rate to
remain at % cents, was made by
the State tax board today. The 23-
cent rate had been approved Tues
day at meeting of the board mem
berS and State Auditor L. S. Bow
man, with Governor Ed jackson.
Cut in general funds was neces-
Sary to keep the 23-cent rate, which
has been held throughout the last
two years. A new factor, causing
the cut, was the 2-cent special levy
made by the 1927 Legislature for
buildings for Indiana's higher edu-
cational institutions.
AS finally agreed upon the levies
were: State revenue, .1O45, as COM
pared with 1915 last year; State
school revenue, OF, as last year;
teachers retirement, 02, as COM
pared with .O195 last year; World
War Memorial, .OO6; board of agri-
culture, OOPS; Dunes State Park,
.0O2; State forestry, .OO1, and Clark
Memorial, .004, all unchanged; and
the special building fund for the
four State educational institutions,
.002.
AS provided by the act of the
1927 Legislature, the corn borer levy
of .005 was dropped from figures for
1929.
