80 INJURED IN
SUBWAY FIRE
Alcohol Can Explodes
on |. R. T. Train

Thirty passengers were injured
in an explosion of five-gallon can
Of liquid believed to have contained
alcohol which was in transit near
69tth St. on a southbound I. r. T.
train. Four persons were taken to
hospitals. Others, less seriously in
jured, were able to ride home in
cabs.
The explosion, which was followed
by the spread of suffocating sulphur
fumes, caused a panic. Over a
dozen men and women were trampled
and crushed. Others were injured
in attempting to break through win
dows and doors to freedom.
Train Stops.
The train was stopped by Motor
man Charles Griffin when the
shouts and screams of the passen-
gers were followed by the pulling
Of the emergency signal to stop the
tran. Guards for a time refused
to open the doors and the passen-
gers fought with them for an exit.
The exact contents of the can
could not be ascertained, but it is
believed that the substance was an
alcoholic mixture which is believed
to have exploded from spark sent
off by the wheels scraping the rails.
The owner of the can was not To-
Gated late last night.
I'oo Many Accidents.
The increasing number Of acci-
dents which have occurred on the
traction lines of the city emphasize
the menace which faces the city as
a result Of the growing impairment
of the roads, which the traction
trust is doing practically nothing to
correct.
While this explosion cannot be
directly traced to the negligence of
the officials, it nevertheless shows
the utter lack Of precautions taken
by the company against any emer-
gency.

WILKES-BARRE, Oct. 90
"Mitchel Day." in memory of the
one time head of the hard-coal
miners union, was celebrated to-
day in the anthracite region. Every
mine was shut in commemoration of
the man who started as militant
union leader and died in 1919 as a
millionaire capitalist politician.
The celebrations, which should
have been utilized to mobilize the
miners for the coming struggles,
were transformed into democratic
rallies. At the Plymouth Armory.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 20
Over 1000 workers from the mines,
shops and steel mills of the Pitts
burgh district, many of whom
struck under his leadership in the
great steel strike of 1919, crowded
the Labor Lyceum to the doors and
cheered their old strike leader, Will

candidate was here he drew not
more than one-fourth the number

Communist Policy.
Summarizing the anti-worker pro-
cram of Hoover and Smith and the
program of the reformists, Foster
declared that the Communist policy
is not TO reform capitalism but to
destroy it, not to collaborate with
the capitalists, but to wage a mill
tant struggle against them, and to
participate in the daily struggle of
the workers everywhere.
"Any trade union leader who,
like the capitalists, calls on the
workers to vote for Smith or for
Hoover, is betraying the interests
Of the workers." he said.

Many of the A. F. of L. officials

and the Negro question.

CANADA NO LONGER
is NEW CALEDONIA
Scholarship Lost Because of
Neglect of Gaelic.

Toronto. is fast losing Its
place in the world as New Caledonia,
A few years ago it was said that there
was more Gaelic spoken in the Do
minion than In Scotland. Now comes
the shocking announcement that at
Queens university, once the strong
hold of sturdy Presbyterianism, no
student has been found for the last
three years who could read or trans
late Gaelic. Accordingly valuable
scholarship has gone unrewarded be-
cause no one could be secured to
tackle the old Scottish text.
And Queens boasts of its Gaelic
founders. Gaelic notices adorn the
classrooms. Even the official univer-
sity yell is in Gaelic. Sad to relate
an inquiry by the staff revealed that
while all students knew and used the
yell not one in score could translate
it. knowledge of the yell was not con-
sidered sound enough basis for
award of the Gaelic scholarship.
There are still many communities
in Canada where Gaelic is spoken by
the third and fourth generation re-
moved from Scotland, but apparently
the present student class has neglect
ed the tongue of it's ancestors. In To
ronto sermons are still preached In
the language of the Garden of Eden,
but 1t is not the younger generation
that attends.
survey recently made revealed
that early Scottish explorers and fur
traders had so left their mark on the
Indians in the Far North that knowl-
edge of Gaelic was fairly common
among the red men. There are COM
munities in Quebec where Scottish set
tiers Of century ago have been so
surrounded by French that English
has disappeared as language but
Gaelic is the biingual tongue. But
among the Scots themselves in the
stronghold of New Scotland-Glengar-
ry-Gaeic in another generation will
be lost language and the Gaelic
Bibles that still adorn every home Will
be just curios, kept as antiques In
memory of day gone by.
Scots whose knowledge of Gaelic Is
now confined to the salutation,
"Chrimhor- ha-sheine dhu" and the re-
ply, Every well, thank you" are loathe
to admit their ignorance. Brigadler
General Griesbach, nj. p, who was at
tached for time to Highland regi-
ment in the war; discovered this. Some
time after the armistice, at a gather
ing of so-called Scottish officers, he
was asked to address the haggs. He
did so fluently in a strange tongue and
was loudly applauded. His knowledge
of the Gaelic was warmly commended
and then he confessed that the Grafton
had been delivered in Slwash Indian.
With the aid of Gaelic dictionary
| Scots are still able to think up the
few words necessary to pass muster
at a st. Andrews dinner, and the less
Gaelic they know the more ardent
Scotsmen they become.

Gets Four Cents Each for
Housing French Troops

Paris.-FOur cents a night for the
best rooms In the house Is all a
French hotel keeper gets from the
army when 1t is on the march. A law
passed fortytwo years ago fixes one
franc person as the proper allow
ance, and that's all that was paid re-
Gently to the keeper of hotel near
Paris who sent in a bill of thousands
of francs.
Officers directing maneuvers In this
district made the hotel their headquar-
tiers and spent night there. They
gave the proprietor an order on the
quartermaster for certain number
of lodgings, thanked him and left. The
hotel keeper, when the army check
came, threatened lawsuits and ven
geance, but his lawyers showed him
the code and he will welcome no more
army business. If his rooms are requl-
sitioned, however, he will have to take
his military guests at four cents each
and try to be happy about it.
