White Gifts for the King"
"White Gifts for the King" will be
the type of Christmas program Civ
en- at the Church of Christ this year.
The program will be given at the
regular church hour, 1880 o'clock,
next Sunday evening.
The tableau will all represent Bible
scenes during the birth of Christ
There will be the manager, the Wise
Men. the shepherds, and many other
lovely Biblical portrayals. AS the
Wise Men did of old, so the Sunday
school classes will bring their gifts
to Jesus at the manger. "Inasmuch
as We have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, We have
done it unto me-" So in order that
the gifts might be given to Jesus in
the way he said, the offering next
Sunday will be sent to home for lit
tie orphan children. The varied
lighting effects will add much to the
beauty of the occasion.
The "White Gifts for the King"
program is based on the Legend Of
Cathay". This beautiful story will be
a part of the Christmas program
next Sunday evening. It tells how
the birthday of great King was
kept. Everyone had to bring gift
to the great king, and all gifts from
the greatest to the least, were accept
able, just SO they were whitehall is
pure. And since Christmas is the
greatest birthday the world has ever
known-the birthday of Jesuit is
fitting that the church should OBJ
serve the day by honoring the Savior
whose birthday it is. Everyone of
the large audiences that usually at
tend this type of Christmas program
and worship usually go away happy
because they have had a part in
celebrating the birthday of the great
King, Jesus.
At the Sunday school hour at the
Church of Christ next Sunday there
ment Of the church for the children,
! and free treats will be given. There
will also be fine program given at
this time by the children in keeping
with the birth of Christ.
Monday evening at $3.50 o'clock the
young people of the church will go to
different localities Of the city to sing
Christmas carols. This always
brings great joy to shut-ins and
others who are serenaded.
A fine audience was present last
Sunday evening to hear Miss Inez
Wetmore give the beautiful Christ
mas reading, "The Other Wise Mar"
There were only words of praise for
the effective manner in which Miss
Wetmore interpreted the story. The
church at Redwood Falls feels for
tunate in having a member of the
capabilities and loyalty that Miss
Wetmore has shown.

TRY TO PREVENT
RADIUM HEARING
Courts May Get Case Of
Poisoned Women

In spite of anticipated attempts of
counsel for the United States Radium
Corporation to seek further delay of
the case of the five women victims of
radium poisoning, it is believed that
the force of aroused publicity will
compel the courts to hear the appeal
of the women for right to sue the COM
pany. The women are dying from the
effects of radium poisoning contract
ed while in the employ of the United
States Radium Corporation.
The five women are: Mrs. Quinta
Mcdonald, her sister, Mrs. Albina Lar
ice; Mrs. Edna Hussman, Miss Grace
Fryer and Miss Katherine Schaub.
Raymond H. Berry, counsel for the
women, will ask that their case be
heard on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday. Lawyers with cases pending
on these days have volunteered to sur
render their priority.
The present appeal of the women is
for the right to sue the United States
Radium Corporation. Shielding itself
behind the New Jersey statute of linn
itations, the corporation is attempt
ing to delay proceedings in an effort
to escape payment of damages.
The doctors testify. that the radium
poison works so slowly that the effects
are only noticeable after years. DR..
Harrison S. Hartland, medical exam
iner of Essex County, who made the
autopsies on the four victims who died
has asserted the slow nature of the
radium poisoning.
"Day by day, week after week,
month after month, and year after
year, the constant bombardment of the
deadly alpha rays goes on" he stated.
The women were poisoned while
painting luminous dials on watches.

MOSCOW, May 21-Sixteen of the

counter revolutionary sabotage plot
to hamper the development of the Don
Basin pleaded completely guilty on
Saturday after the reading of the in
dictment had been concluded while
thirteen admitted partial guilt.
In response to the direct question

number of the accused admitted their
guilt. Others denied the charges.
A number of the accused stam-

court after admitting their guilt.
Kolodub, accused engineer, declared
that his poor technical knowledge had
been responsible for his approving the

Others, including Matov, Beresovsky,

Especial To The Daily Worker)
MATHER, Pa, May 21.-Two hun
dred and eleven as the known toll of
victims of the rock dust explosion
which occurred here Saturday at the
open-shop Mather Galleries, scab
coking coal company which supplies
coal for the steel interests. Sixty
bodies have already been removed by
government rescue workers but no
hope is held out for the remaining
ones in the mine, who may have sur
vived the explosion itself, because of
the spread of gas to every crevice of
the pit.
Fearful Scene.
Sixty mangled bodies of those taken
from the mine have been laid out in
a barrack hall of the company where
their grim, burnt, pitiful forms are
a silent yet awful condemnation of
the murderous system which makes
tragedies like the present one but a
passing incident.
Hundreds of miners and their fam
lies have gathered about waiting for
the fearful report brought up by each
new returning group of rescuers. AL
ways there is that same wild cry of
despair from the wife, the children,
the relatives of the victim as his
charred remains are recognized.
Seek to Evade Guilt.
Mine officials have made desper-
ate effort to deny that they are re-
sponsible for the explosion and the
deaths which have resulted. Core
spondents Of the capitalist press are
sending out their faked-up accounts
of the beauty of the little village of
"Mather, nesting among the foot
hills; the mine they say has the
most modern equipment. But gradu-
ally details are coming to light. The
full facts will undoubtedly reveal, as
they have. already partially disclosed
that rock dust due to failure to dust
was the cause of the explosion. No
doubt other revelations will show that
inexperienced miners have been en-
ployed, that excessive speed-up and
unbearable hours played their part in
the tragedy at the open-shop coal col
liery.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The sew

October 2. by an order Of the U. S.
Supreme court which today put off
until that date the argument over the
claim by the Interborough that the
five cent fare is confiscatory and IL
legal.

Chief Justice Taft, in announcing
the decision, stated merely that the
plea of the city and the Transit Com
mission was granted. No discussion
of the case further was contained in
the decision and no comment on the
question of the increased fare itself
was made.
The postponement of the fare in
