return, Warder had deliberately con-
nived at the City Trusts system of
fictitious bookkeeping which Melted

Prominent leaders of "the new

Trust, ostensibly for his membership
on the board of directors. Besides
carefully refraining from question
ing the banks practises in his ca
pacity as member of the board, he
had deliberately covered up open
forgeries in the accounts of the Har-
lem branch of the City Trust Com
pany. The evidence was given by
A. Elliott Pincus, auditor for DR..
A. H. Giannini, to whom Warder had
endeavored to sell City Trust stock
shortly after the death of Ferrari.
Fake Account.
Pincus also gave additional in
eliminating details of the open sab
otage of the examination made by
Gianninni's auditors of the bank. A
casual item of $4,000 had been
written in the bank ledger against
the account of one A. Magnoni. The
largest account in the bank, the sum
meant as little as most of the other
alleged "assets" of the City Trust,
Pincus's testimony proved.

Salisbury Council Invites.
This morning a carload of strikers
left for Salisbury, N. c., to address
the monthly meeting of the Central
Trades and Labor Council of that
city. The Council invited the strik-
ers to send a delegation to their
meeting.
In spite of the heavy showers,
striking textile workers of the Loray
mill yesterday finished erecting the
tents and moved into the Workers
International Relief tent colony. The
strikers have decided to run the
colony on the basis of a commune,
electing sanitary squad, manage
ment committee, also a striker to act
as judge on differences that may
arise among the workers.
May Take Away Bed Sheets.
Gladys Wallace, an active striker,
has been notified that her bed sheets
will be taken away because she owes
$3.50. She has paid $22 on them so
far. She is determined to resist the
instahment house if they attempt to
take away the bed-clothes, after she
has paid so much on them.
The Loray mill preacher attempted
to divide the Negro and white work
ers, but failed. They offered a
Negro well known to the strikers
$75 to talk against the N. T. w. U.
They wanted him to get himself in
vited to speak from the union plat
form and then assail the union from
it. He was told he would be paid
S25 for his first speech, and another
$50 if he would continue to attack
the union. The Negro, who at one

Ago Cannot Be Found

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, May 28.--
The fire which has been burning
underground in the Glen Alden Coal
Company's Woodward mine has just
now become cool enough to work
around, it was stated here today, a
little over two years after it started.
No hope is held out for the recov-
cry of the bodies of five miners
who were lost when the fire started
with terrific explosion, due to the
company's allowing inflammable
gas to accumulate in the working
places. The explosion was Of terrific
force, SCATTERING windows all

The delivery truck appeared with
Deputies Vierling and R. B. Fink
guarding the scabs driving it. When
the pickets were seen, Vierling and
Fink approached them. An argu-
ment followed; first Vierling and
then Fink drew guns, and Vierling
opened fire point blank into the
crowd of pickets. The strikers re-
taliated with rocks, according to one
report, and drove the murderers
away.
The men under arrest are charged
with violation of the injunction.
The strike started May 10. The
strikers demand union recognition,
the nine hour day, a SIS wage raise,
two days off work every month and
two weeks vacation every year with

fully and Fundamentally accepts

ship of our Party and the unanimous
decision of Central Committee, and
pledges its fullest and unlimited sup
port to the new line of E. G. C. /.
and the unanimous decision of Gen.

of the Open Letter. We firmly be-
lieve that our Party can and must
have only one line on which to de-
velop into a mass Communist Party,
to fight Right Danger, etc., and this
is the line of the Comintern. The
E. c. c. l. has done everything in its
power to convince the Party as a
whole of the necessity of uniting the
Party on the C. l. correct line, but
so far without desirable success, as
the Majority and Minority of Central
Committee failed to carry out the
decisions of Executive Committee OF
the Communist international.
Therefore, we disassociate our.
selves completely and definitely from
all elements or groups who have
been and are in opposition to the
Comintern and we are determined
to carry out not only in words but
also emphatically in deeds the line
of E. c. c. l. We especially stant
against every attempt of splitting
the Party. We will fight to preserve
the unity of the Party against al

The Resolutions of District No.
- Three, (Philadelphia)

Three, PHILADELPHIA. =
The resolution of the Executive
Committee of District Three, (Phila-
delphia) on the address of the Com
intern unanimously adopted by the
District Bureau was as follows:
"The Executive Committee of
District Three, accepts, wholeheart-
eddy endorses and pledges unreserved
support to the Address of the Com
munist international and to all de-
cisions that may flow therefrom.
THE District Executive Commit
tee considers that this decision def
initely ends the factional struggle
which has continued in the ranks of
our Party during the past six and
half years and creates the pre-con-
dition for the carrying out of the
line of the Open Letter addressed to
the Sixth National Convention of the
Party.
"The District Committee consid-
ers that the Address of the Comm
tern provides the basis for the unfit
cation of the Party in that it elm
mates the influence of fractional con-
siderations in determining policies
and in selecting the leadership of the
Party and provides for the selection
of comrades for leading positions en-
tirely on the basis of their fitness.
"The District Executive Commit
tee endorses all the unanimous de-
cisions of the Central Committee on
the Comintern Address. We pledge
our hearty support to the Central
Committee in carrying out the line
of the Comintern as embodied in the
Address. The District Executive
Committee of District Three calls
upon all Party members in District
Three to carefully study the Com
intern Address to orientate them
selves on the line of the Address as
the means of preparing the Party to
go forward the more rapidly towards
the complete unification of the Party
and for carrying out the many and
difficult tasks which confront US.
"The District Executive Commit
tee earnestly warns against the dam
ger of interpreting this address or
any part of it as a decision which
favors one or another of the former
groups in the Party. This decision
cannot be properly understood if
considered from the viewpoint of
the past fractional standards. The
Address of the Comintern must be
accepted as condemnation of the
fractional practice of both old groups.
"The District Executive Commit
tee calls upon all comrades to apply
themselves even more vigorously to
the work of organizing the morgan
lied; to the struggle against the
right danger; against the remnants
of Trotskyism; against social-re-
formism and all its manifestations
against the war danger and for the
building of mass Communist Party
for the American working class

trict No. 3, Communist Party of the

tinuation of the lynch "justice" by

To Be Sentenced Today.
Canter will be sentenced tomor-
row at $50 a. m. He is faced with
a maximum penalty of two years
in Jail and $1,000 fine.
The resentment of thousands of
workers is being crystallized in
mass campaign that is being launch
ed by the international Labor De-
tense, which is defending Canter, to
force the Massachusetts courts to
free him. Legal steps are also be-
ing taken by I. L. D. attorneys Ar
thur Garfield Hays and Harry Hoff-
man to appeal the case to the state
supreme court.
Warns Against False Hopes.
The I. L. D. warns, however,
against placing any faith in the
fairness" or tolerance" of the CAPT
talist courts. Only mass pressure
of thousands of workers can force
the granting of the appeal and the
ultimate release of Canter, the or
ganization declares.
Funds are needed Immediately to
meet the heavy legal expenses and
to develop the mass campaign on
large scale. They should be sent to

creasingly clear that thousands Of

elections, since they have learned
of the similarity of the programs of

severe election laws the Communist
Party has succeeded in placing only

Communists to gain strength as the

This election campaign finds all

fit of capitalism at home, is no more.

Porter, supposed to be represent
