MILL WORKERS
BUS DYNA MITED
AT EL|zABETHT0N
Threat to Rayon Labor
That Talked Strike

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, June
l0.-A large bus was dynamited to-
day at the Beulah Dean bus ter
minal, Is miles from here. The ter
minal is near Stoney Greek, where
many persons who work at the Benz
berg -Glanzstoff rayon mills reside.
Some of these workers are strik-
ers who were tricked back to the
mills by the United Textile Work
ers Union agreement with the en-
ployers, which sold out winning
strike and gave the strikers moth
ing.
They are already talking strike,
under the leadership of the National
Textile Workers Union, and the
bombing of the bus is considered
here as a mill owners reminder to
them that dynamite, bombs and ar
tillery are on the side of the en-
plcyers.
No one was injured, according to
word received here. The bus had
been parked outside the terminal
after load of rayon workers from
the night shift of the plant had been
taken to their homes at Stoney
Creek.
Shortly before the blast-which
practically demolished the bus-an
automobile was heard coming into
Stoney Creek, and Immediately
after the dynamiting it was heard
roaring out of town.

u. S. IMPERIALIST
IN INTERVENTION IN
West indian RAID
Oil Center in South
America Involved

WILLEMSTADT, Curarao, Dutch
West Indies, June 10.-Mystery
continues to surround the raid of
several hundred men, who seized the
waterfront of this city, captured a
quantity of arms and ammunition
and kidnapped the local governor,
commander of troops and several To-
cal police, later bringing them back
unframed.
Although the officials have been
energetically spreading the story
that these men were Venezuelan re-
volutionists who needed arms and
ammunition to fight the terror in
Venezuela, yet there is a growing
feeling here that they were an out
fit encouraged by American imperi-
alists who are anxious to seize this
rich oil center. Curacao is only forty
miles from the Venezuelan main
land, and receives most of the pc
troleum mined here, for refining. 1t
is a strategic point for controlling
Lake Maracaibo, the center of one
of the worlds greatest oil producing
regions in the world. The develop
ment of this territory began only
about ten years ago since when both
American and British have been in
keen competition for control, with
the Royal Dutch Company as the
main present holder.
The story that American imperial
lists had hand in the events is
heightened by the fact that the YES
sci which carried the "putchists"
was an American vessel of the At
lantic and Steam Navigation Com
pany. Immediately following the
raid the American consul, Thomas
w. Voetter, wired call for Amer
lean warships from Colon, Panama.
Officials have clamped down on
the facts, taking very antagonistic
attitude to anyone who tries to in.
vestigate the sources of the raid.
LONDON, June 10.-The foreign
minister of Holland, Johnkeer F..
Beelaerts Won Blockland said that
the Venezuelan government in his
opinion had nothing whatever to do
with the events. He refused to COM
nit himself on what the govern
ment theory was as to who was re-
sponsible but did say that they are
sending several warships to the
scene.

Workers i'm Settled Shops
Pledge Aid to Fur Strike
Gold Denounces Untermyer Investigation
Many Meetings Mobilize for Struggle

A pledge that they would not only
respond to the general strike call
of the furriers, but that they would
stay out as long as is necessary,
was made last night by the work
ers in the settled shops at an en-
thusiastic meeting held at Webster
Hall, 18th st. and Third Ave.
Every recourse at the command of
these workers will be thrown into
the struggle, they declared.
Vote Assessment.
While no specific amount was set
by the workers, the meeting decided
that they would decide upon an as
sessment just as soon as the strike
call is made.
The meeting, which was of an un-
usually significant character, was
but one of the numerous being held
by many groups of workers in prep
aration for the general strike call
which will be thrown into the faces
of the profit -glutted bosses now at
any moment.
Gold Denounces Untermyer.
Ben Gold, secretary-treasurer of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union, who was the leader Of
the successful furriers' strike of
1926, denounced the Investigation"
maneuvers of the scab "Joint Coun-
Gill;" together with Samuel Inter
myer, wealthy corporation lawyer,
who is consorting with them.
Concluding vigorous speech, in
which he outlined the tasks facing
the furriers, Gold declared:
eve consider Untermyer, law
yer and member of the capitalist
class, unfit TO conduct any kind of
an investigation involving the
workers"
Denouncing the mobilization of
the police as prearations for an at
tempt to break the strike Of the
furriers, Gold declared:
"We will fight for the right to
strike and picket no matter how

Standard Oil Seeks to

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
June 10.--A deadlock after a three
day argument between rival oil
groups appeared the only possible
ending to the Hoover oil conserva-
ton conference which got under way
here today. 1t was addressed by
Secretary of the Interior Wilbur,
who characterized the gathering of
oil barons as "the big hope of civili-

Under the plea of Conserving the

will consolidate their advantages
over their smaller western rivals by

The Gastonia Gazette for Satur-
day, June 8, shouts Historically for
clectrocution and lynching of the
jailed strikers.
"The electric chair should claim
every one of the number who par
ticipated in the shooting" howls an
editorial statement, but it does not
content itself with illegal" frame-up
advice.
"The Gazette has always coun-
seled against mob violence, the edi-
torial continues, in provocative,
double meaning style. "It has not
preached violence. 1t does not now.
But we do insist that this is a clarion
call to Gastonia. CASTOR County

Immediately below this wild yell,

pears an editorial, entitled, "Their
Blood Cries Out" 1t slanders the
heroic strike leaders as "boastful
murderers" and says;
"The blood of these men (Alder-
holt and the officers, not the men
they bayoneted before the Loray
mills) cries out to high heaven for
vengeance. This community has
been too lenient with these despic-

for tomorrow, has now been
reported postponed, and may
take place Thursday. Mean

The city authorities, having
starved the Loray strikers for three
days by seizing all relief supplies
and jailing all relief workers, is
now planning to offer them food
on condition that they "behave,"
and thus to split them away from
the National Textile Workers Union,
the strike and the Workers Inter-

Two forces are actively at work
here. On the one hand the mill
owners and their subservient city
government is continuing its policy
of terrorism. The shooting at the
funeral of Chief Aderholt created
excitement, and distracted the mill
boss agents from their real inten-
tion at that funeral which was to
whip up frenzy for lynching
among the great crowd gathered
at the First Baptist Church.

LONDON, June 10.-The Labor

traitorous fake '1abor" government
have indicated today that MacDon-

the competition which now exists.
AS first step in this direction he
proposes to visit the United States

English, behind closed doors and
hidden from the view of the great

would tie them to greater slavery.
Macdonald, speaking over the

larger deposits during the first two
thirds Of 1923 than In tho correspond
ing portion of 1927. In the last third
Of 1928, deposits were almost exactly
equal to the volume held In 1927. A
larger demand for loans by customers
existed throughout 1928 than In 1927
and investment holdings were also
larger throughout 1928 than in the
preceding year. In April. 1928. bor-
rowings by city banks from this fed
cral reserve bank increased consid-
crably and during the remainder Of
the year the general level of bor-
rowings by these banks was higher
than In any year since 1928.
Agriculture has increased its acre
age in crops in this district steadily
since 1920. In Minnesota, North Da-
kota. South Dakota and Montana the
1923 crop acreage for the eight most
important crops was 55,225,000 acres.
This represented an increase Of nearly
1000 acres over 1927 and an in
crease OF 100000 acres over 1919,
when the expansion due to wartime
conditions was at its peak.
Dairy Level Helped
The cash paid to this district as a
result OF 1928 farming operations was
in the neighborhood of one billion
dollars. This was about the average
for the last sixsyears AS usual there
was mixture OF favorable and un-
favorable developments in the farm
Ing situation. The most favorable
development was the new high level
reached by dairy income in 1928. This
industry is not yet as important in
the district as is small grain farm
ing. but in the last six years its
g--wth has set 1t definitely ahead Of
the hog industry In point Of total
cash receipts.
Another bright spot in the farm
ing picture was the range cattle and
sheep business Feeder steers, which
are the principal source of revenue
from the livestock range, have brought
high prices throughout 1928, although
In the late fall some decrease In prices
occurred. The production of lambs
and wool was increased In 1923 and
the products were sold without any
reduction in price being forced from
the high levels of the past few years.
A third favorable feature in the
farmers year was the production of
satisfactory crops Of feed grain. The
corn crop was larger than in 1927 and
much better distributed throughout
the territory. The barley crop was
the largest on record.
| Unfavorablc Conditions
Turning to unfavorable develop
ments. the outstanding instance was
the shrinkage in prices for cash
grains. due to the large world crop
and the lower prices for potatoes
which accompanied the large domes-
tic crop of 1928. This development
