BLOODHOUNDS
HUNT -FOUR men
IN TEXAS CITY
Shoot to Kill' Is Order
to Posse

HOUSTON, Texas, July 20
Four prisoners who rebelled at the
intolerable prison conditions and
fought their way to freedom were
late yesterday being hunted by $50
armed men with 35 bloodhounds in
the swamps near Richmond, 20
miles from here. Four other con-
victs, who joined their companions
in the revolt, have already been cap
tured All four were wounded by
the armed man-hunters.
R. j. Flanagan, leader of the
posse and manager of the three
prison farms at Sugar Land, has
issued orders to his men to "shoot
to kill" The remaining 474 prison
ers on Imperial Farm 2 are being
herded in their cells instead of being
sent to work in the fields because
most of the guards have joined the
hunt.

At a conference for miners relief
held Thursday evening at Bryant

The. first steps of the new COM
mittee will be the taking of weekly
shop collections for the purchase
of food, medical aid and the supply
ing of defense funds for the strik-
ing miners and their families, many
of whom are lying in Jail on various
trumped-up charges. Besides the
collections from among all the work
ers in each shop, the delegates
resent volunteered to tax them
Elves a certain amount of their
reekly wages for relief and de-
tense work.
Resolutions were unanimously
adopted pledging full support to the
miners in their formation of a new
union and condemning the sell-out

PITTSBURGH, July ga mo
tice of distress" has been served up
on Anthony Calamari, a striking
miner of Charleroi by Deputy Sher-
if Joseph Anden, threatening to sell
everything in his household to-
morrow. Unless his unpaid rent is
raised somehow, the Calamaris and
their four little children will find
themselves without bed to sleep in,
or a roof over their heads Monday
night. 4 complete inventory of the
miners property" is listed on the
warrant. A stove, table, chairs, cup
board, three beds and one hot plate
are among the fourteen items of
property distrained."
Mine Leader.
Calamari is a leading rank and
file organizer in Washington County,
recently elected to a union office by
progressive miners. Claimants
ruddy, smiling face is familiar in the
mining camps through the valley,
where he is constantly making the
rounds in order to maintain the or
ganization and fight the open-shop.
Claimants family is living on the
relief sent to Charleroi by the Ma
tional Miners Relief Committee of
Gil Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Money is rarity in the strike
camps. All of Claimants friends
are in the same position that ne is
in, so he cannot turn to them for
help. This morning the miner ap-
pealed to the relief committee. But
the funds the relief committee has
must be used to buy flour and pota-
toes for thousands of hungry famil-
les. The $40 which he requires must
feed 40 families.
Serious Plight.
Charles Sanders, another progress
sive leader of Curtisville, is in the
same fix. His rent bill is SIP. There
is no room in the over-crowded bar
racks for his wife and their six chill
dren. The only thing that can save
the miners is an immediate contribu-
ton from sympathizers.

A sailor of the Pacific Fleet was
forced to risk his life--to go into a
lifeboat without line and with boots
on--and when somebody let go the
tackle, he was thrown into the water.
Before he could be picked up, he was
struck by the bow of the U. S. S.
Arizona and his ankle broken.
Thrown in Dungeon.
The authorities, themselves re-
sponsible, punished the sailor severe
ly for being hurt. He was thrown
into the dungeon on bread and water
and fined 5000, which means that he
will get no more pay during his en-
listment. When the sailor took the
matter up with the Division Ad-
miral, he was told to drop it."
Letter Received by "Daily."
A letter from this sailor, telling
of his treatment in the service, has
been received by the Daily Worker
The reference to "Crouch's Demands"
refers to the official demands of the
Young Workers Communist League
for servicemen. An article in the
Daily Worker telling of these de-
mands was signed by Paul Crouch.
The letter from the serviceman
follows:
Editor Daily Worker:
81 have read the article by Paul
Crouch in your paper and want to
say that he is right in most cases
with his demands for changes in the
service.
81 am writing to tell you about my
own troubles in the hope that you
will be able to publish it so that
others will understand better the &C
tual conditions in the navy.
Forced to Risk Life.
About two months ago when my
ship was en- route to Hawaii for
battle-practice we were going full
speed in formation off the West
Coast of Mexico. I was at work in
one of the starboard lifeboats, get
ting the tackle in proper shape. The
coxswain had ordered me in the boat
without a line about me although /
had protested that I might fall over
board. (You know, lifeboat is
swang from two divets that suspend
it over the side of the ship. Well
somebody either purposely or acct
dentally let go the tackle and I was
thrown sto the water and narrowly
missed the divet which also fell.
I was wearing boots and only after
a hard struggle was I able to rise
to the surface again. The S. S. Ari-
iona was next in line behind us, and,

Ford Interested
In Dirigibles S
BY United Press Leased Wire

ATLANTA, Ca, March ED
sci Ford, president of the Ford Mot
or company, is investigating metal
dirigibles and their availability for
trans oceanic service, an interview
with Ford in the Atlanta Journal
says.
The Journal story said that al
though Ford was reluctant to dis
cuss the investigations. he let it be
known that he and his father were
investigating larger dirigibles which
would eliminate fire hazards.
ct am told that the efficiency of
dirigibles is increased as their size
is increased, while the opposite
holds true of airplanes, Ford was
quoted as saying.
He made it plain, the story said,
that the Fords were making the in
vestigation rather than the Ford
Motor company.
Young Ford also said that the
Ford Motor company had never con-
sidered going into mass production
of "Flivver" airplanes. He said
there were too few people who knew
how to fly.
