BOSTON, Mass, May 24,-Scholar-

hit the high-water mark yesterday
when Fred Smith, a student at the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology won the intercollegiate ice
cream eating championship.
Smith, whose papa is a prosper

claims to have accomplished the
feat in the interests of the science
of chemistry.
The scholar was in Back Bay

gested the test.
By eating the three quarts and
by the aid of clinical thermometer,
Smith found that the body tempera-
ture gradually steps downward and
that a raccoon coat and a hot water
bottle are great assets provided
there is boiling water in the
bottle.

ARRIVING HERE
O'Brien Of Arizona
Visits Daily

The first delegate to the Workers
Party National Nominating Conven-
ton to arrive in New York, William
O'Brien of Phoenix, Arizona, visited
the Daily Worker office yesterday
and discussed the labor situation in
his state with the editors.
Conditions Bad
O'Brien, who is a member of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners, local 1889, spoke on the
situation in his own state.
Conditions in general" he said,
'are pretty bad. Work in the mines
is slow now. And the situation of
the farmers in the state is even
worse. They are being bled right
and left by the Water Users Asso-
citation, and by the other business in
terests which control the products of
the farmers. Graft is evident every
where.
"Only recently the Chamber of
Commerce of Phoenix created fake
hullaballoo about a building boom in
the cit VI
the city, Immediately thousands of
men, mostly migratory workers,
flocked to the city. Upon their ar
rival, they discovered the ruse, to
their own loss.
''There is some building going on,
but not enough to accommodate even
a third of the workers in the city.
Misleaders Control.
''The unions are weak. For the
most part they are controlled by re-
dictionary officials, men under the
control of the American Federation of
Labor"
B. H. Lauderdale, of Texas, also ar
rived here. He will speak at the huge
mass meeting to be held this evening
in Mecca Temple.

STARR Gets SUBS
TO DAILY WORKER
in new TERRITORY
Workers in Two Jersey
Cities Eager For Paper

Having made inroads in territory
never penetrated before, Arthur
Starr, special DAILY WORKER sub
scription agent, arrived in the bust
ness office of the Daily yesterday
with 26 new subscriptions.
The 26 subscriptions were all the
result of a few days work in Newark
and Plainfield, N. ]. Fifteen new
readers were secured in Newark and
II in Plainfield. The Plainfield sub
scriptions are particularly significant
IS there have never before been SUBJ
scribers to The DAILY WORKER in
This city. No unit of the Workers
(Communist) Party exists in Plain
field and this was therefore virgin
territory.
Starr, who is student in the Ma
tional Training School, is one of the
u special DAILY WORKER agents
now covering various parts of the
country in the Daily's new subscrip-
ton drive. He reports that both in
Newark and Plainfield, particularly
the latter city, workers showed I'M
usual interest in the paper. Among
the II subscriptions secured in Plain
field were three for striking miners,
an evidence that the workers are fol-
lowing the struggles of the striking
miners and the efforts of The DAILY
WORKER to provide them with the
only English language newspaper
that fights on their side.
Starr has returned to his territory
and promises to send many more sub
scriptions. He, as we'll as the other
DAILY WORKER agents, should be
aided in every possible way by all
class-conscious workers.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 22.-Coal
and iron policemen, attached to the
Slickville mine of the Bethlehem
Mines Corporation, now roam the
highways clubbing strikers and strike
sympathizers found on the public
thoroughfares.
At o'clock in the afternoon of
May II, Mike Evanovich, striking
miner was driving in his car with
5hree other men through Slickville,
where one of Charlie Schwab's mines
S located. Coal and iron police
stopped his machine and peremptorily
ordered him to let them get into his
car. Evanovich refused.
Beaten-Arrested.
The "yellow dogs" then struck him
on the face bringing blood from his
nose. They pulled him out of his car
and hit him with blackjacks. Then
they compelled him to drive his car
to the company jail. There he was
lodged in the cellar, beaten with fists
and knocked down.
Schwab's thugs then brought him
book which he was asked to read. The
coal and iron police boosted that they
had more power than the state con.
stabulary and had power of arrest on
public highways as we'll as on com.
pany property.
Arithmetic" Used.
Evanovich was charged with dis.
orderly conduct and resisting an Of
ficer. On the first charge he was
fined $4,000 by company squire and
the addition of costs brought the
amount to $1,000.
Tony Morelli, another striking min
er, was stopped by coal and iron police
while driving his car through Slick.
vile, accompanied by three other min
ers. Morelli was hit in the arm with
"a blackjack and dragged from his car
The four miners were taken to the
office of the Bethlehem Mines Cor
poration, beaten and let go without
having any charges preferred against
them. There were four "yellow dogs"
and one deputy sheriff in the gang.
Morelli and his wife have been
beaten by coal and iron police several
times recently.
Also Dynamite.
The operators, through their hired
thugs, are trying to terrorize the min
ers. They do not stop even at at
tempted murder. On the morning of
May 16, dynamite was exploded on a
road between two strikers homes in
Slickville.
Discomfort among the miners in
Slickville is growing. The bosses are
going through the mines warning the
coal diggers that they will drive every
strike sympathizer and every member
of the "Save-the- Union Committee
out of Westmoreland county. The
miners declare that their fight to or
ganize in Westmoreland county has
only started.

others are still buried under debris.
Another explosion in the non-union
mine of the Yukon Pocahontas Coal
Company in West Virginia, cost II
more lives, according to incomplete
reports received at the office of the
National Miners Relief Committee
It is believed that many others are
still buried in the pit.
A cave-in at the old Alpha shaft
of the Consolidated Copper Mines at
Kimberly, Nevada, cost four more
lives. According to reports received
here, working conditions at this mine
are highly dangerous. This million
dollar corporation has neglected all
safety precautions. Officials at prac-
tically all of these mines were quick
to say that their mines had recently
been thoroughly" rock-dusted, "and
the explosion, no doubt, was caused
by gas and not by coal dust"
But the miners tell another story
"Sure they rock-dusted the mine
near the mouth" one Mather miner
declared.
All Non Union.
All four mines are operated nom
union. Throughout the strike fields,
miners are talking about the boys
who lost their lives in the scab pits
principally because there were no pit
committees to insist upon safety nre-
cautions.
The National Miners Relief Com
mittee is standing behind the strikers
in their fight for safe working condi-
tons, "a strong union and decent
wages. Anthony P. Minerich, chair
man of the committee, urges that con-
tributions be sent to the relief office
at Gil Penn Ave-, Pittsburgh, Pa, so
The work may be continued and ex,
panded, and to save the coal diggers
from returning to non-union mines.

BOSTON, May "a. - The Boston
capmakers at a membership meeting
g Local z last night categorically con-
demned Max Zaritsky, president of
the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery
Workers International for his cam
paign to destroy all local unions serv-
ing as stumbling blocks to his policies
of submission to the employers, and
for his numerous unsuccessful at
tempts to break the Boston union.
After a discussion lasting for many
hours, in which Zaritsky and his
clique in control of The International
was denounced by the members from
the floor, the meeting unanimously
voted a resolution of condemnation Of
the union wreckers. The meeting was
held in Capmakers' Hall, % Hayward
Place.
In the discussion the membership
showed that they will not be Jerror
lied by the threats and intimidations
used by Zaritsky and his clique in
their attempt to force upon the mem
bers the acceptance of his plan Of
taking away the leadership of the
local from the existing militant adj
ministration, and giving it over to his
henchmen and appointees.
The recent intensification of the de-
structive activities of the right wing
were clearly brought out. 1t was re-
vealed that the worthy" president
ordered on May 9 a membership meet
ing with the supposed purpose of TAX
ing up trade questions Of vital I'M
portance to Boston capmakers.
At this meeting Zaritsky tried to
smuggle through a motion to give con-
troll of the local over to the General
Board. But when the membership
protested Zaritsky was forced to
call a special meeting to consult mem
bers before he would make any such
steps. Instead of such meeting he
called a club meeting of his right
wingers to which he also decoyed
small number of members.
There Zaritsky announced that he
does not intend to call the promised
meeting; that he is not going to keep
his promises or be guided by the con-
.t;tution. 1.-THE local." he declared, SIS
aaen over already" He advised To-
af7ccrs be ignored by the mem
bers; and that in a few days he will

fish law and order in Boston.
1t was also brought out how Ear
itsky had visited the shops making
preparations for his program through
deals with bosses. How he canvassed
members to come to his club meetings.
The resolution adopted condemned
Zaritsky's plan to do away with the
forty hour week and introduce piece
work into the trade. It condemns bis
intention to break up all locals which
are resisting his plans Of submission
to the bosses. Resolution also eX-
presses its solidarity with the four
thousand members of local 43. who are
fighting against Zaritsky's attempt to
destroy their local, take away their
right of managing their own affairs
and safeguarding their hard-won con-
ditions:

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May "a
The savage hatred of labor always
manifested by the Massachusetts
courts was again displayed Wednes-
day when Judge Milliken sent two
strikers, both mothers, to prison for
six months. This act has succeeded
in awakening the resentment of the
$4,000 textile workers on strike
against wage cut here, to the high
est pitch since the strike first began,
almost six weeks ago. They are Mrs
Angelina Tsoupreas and Mrs, Chris
tina Simores. Frank Cunha, another
striker was sentenced to 80 days.

Although the International Labor
Defense, which has volunteered the
aid of its organization to the Textile
Mills Committee in the task of pro-
viding legal aid and other defense
work, has succeeded in obtaining the
release Of the three strikers on bonds
Of $500 pending an appeal, bitter
ness hitherto undeveloped is being
displayed by the strikers. The lack
of sharpness in the struggle till now
I is mainly due to the fact that there
has been practically no scabbing in
the strike, the walkout being prac-
tically 100 per cent effective.
Picketing this morning had a great
err attendance than any Of the last few
days, in spite of the increased police
Gordon around the mills.
In addition to the prison sentences
imposed the two women were fined
$40 and $40 respectively. Two other
women picllets arrested several days
after the first arrests were fined 500
and $40 each. They are Mary Valente
and Mary Silvia.

The two women were arrested May
10 while picketing the Pemaquid Mill.
They had defended themselves against
being manhandled by the police, one
of whom subsequently testified that
the women had scratched him, and
that they had carried bricks. although
admitting that the bricks were not
used.
The Textile Mills Committee, which
is a national body, organizing textile

to announce that the New Bedford

the strikers, however, is such as to
preclude the belief of an immediate
ending of the struggle, unless the

At a meeting of the Joint Council
last Tuesday McGrady called on Ship
lacoff, socialist leader, to make
speeches to those Joint Council dele
gates endorsing the "One Union" de-
mand of the workers. Several work
ers attending that meeting reported
the scene as the most laughable they
ever experienced. First the socialist
chief made threatening speech, then
McGrady and Stetsky made speeches.
McGrady said that he would not
stand for any more demonstrations"
He declared that anybody starting
trouble would be thrown out, if a
dozen cops are necessary in the union
office every day."
Shiplacoff threatened the recalci-
trant Joint Council members that a
big drive will be begun against all the
Communists by other union heads. To
prove it he said, 81 have just come

McGrady's lieutenant, Alex Fried
