CURRY HEADS
T.AMMANY HALL

John F. Curry, boss of the Fifth
District in New York, is elected the
head of Tammany Hall, the politi-
cal machine in charge of patronage
in New York for generations.
Curry got twelve and one-sixth
votes against ten and one-half cast
for his opponent, Ahern.
He got a majority of those vot-
ing, not a majority of the entire
general committee, for David H.
Knott, former sheriff and head of
the county committee, did not vote
at all, and neither did Peter ].
Hamill, chief of the First District,
or Philip Donohue, treasurer of the
general committee.
Ahern is an advocate of the So
called "new Tammany," which mere
ly means the Smith faction. Curry
is an out and out Walker man, is
put into office by the gang of big
business men and contractors sup
porting Mayor Walkers administra-
tion, and rivals of another group
lining up behind former Governor
Smith.

HOUSING EVIL IN
CLARKE KILLING
Segregation Is Part of
Landlord System

That the forced segregation of
Negro workers into districts espe-
cially set aside for them, forced to
live in the worst houses, suffering
all the evils of overcrowding and
the prejudice fostered by the land
lord class, helped make possible the
murder Of Henry Clarke, the Negro
schoolboy, by white boy, was one
of the chief points stressed at the
meeting held at st. Luke's Hall to
protest the murder.
Speaker after speaker pointed out
that it was the policy of the ex-
ploiters to instill and encourage
racial hatred in order to divide the
workers among themselves, and that
one of their chief means OF doing
that was to segregate Negro work
crs in the worst tenement districts
and rob them to the bone.
Segregation and Landlords.
Richard B. Moore, president of
the Harlem Tenants League and

for Easy Frame-up

W A SHIN TON, April 23.-
Friends of the administration. big
business heads, and those benefited
by the Hoover distribution of Jobs,
flooded the White House today with
kilograms of approval for Hoover's
speech in New York yesterday to
the Associated Press. The news
papers of big business are univer-
sally in favor Of his demands that
more police, especially more detec-
tives, shall be hired. Hoover is
clearly in favor of large army
of government spies, with the OBJ
vious use in anti-labor service to
the employers as a part of their job
Of "suppressing crime"
Hoover in his speech took pains
not to specify what kind of "crime'
he wanted Suppressed" by his large
force of gendarmes and by changes
he advised in the laws to make con-
victions easier in courts and deprive
the defendants of some Of their
rights of trial by jury. But he
strongly implied that he was think
ing of labor troubles" rather than
prohibition by n remark that "only
a small percentage of the increased
amount of crime can be charged to

Not only is the Gastonia strike

MILL STRIKERS
MORE militant
Police Terror Increases
Their Determination
By KARL REEVE

GASTONIA, N. c., (By MaiD.-
The smashing of the headquarters
of the National Textile Workers
Union, Local Gastonia, marked the
entrance Of the activities of the
union into a new stage of develop
ment. The general reaction among
the workers against this act of ter
rorism on the part of the mill own
ers and the authorities is to give
great impetus to the recruiting of
new members into the union from
mills not yet on strike, and to cause
a great increase in the size of the
mass meetings, at which there are
now often 1000 workers present.
I will never forget the day the
headquarters was smashed. The
job had been done systematically,
without hurry, and thoroughly. The
masked mob-not so but 200 taking
part-used sledge hammers and
crowbars bearing the label of the
Manville Jenckes Company. They
went around the walls and COM
pletely demolished them; then
when the roof was lying on the
ground, they battered that in, after
which they scattered the records of
the union and the belongings of some
of the organizers or took them
away.

The relief store, brick building,
could not be torn down so easily, but
its contents were destroyed and all
possible damage done. Meanwhile,
officers of the national guard and
deputies either looked on or took an
active part in the work. When the
job was completed, the masked moi
