Central yesterday played good, heads
up basket ball to take the Emerson
quint to camp, SO to 81. With Russell
Lampson, rugged guard. heading their
attack, the Columbia Heights scholas-
tics came from behind in impressive
style to triumph.
At the interfnission Emerson was
ahead, IL to 5, but in the second half
Central woke up with bang and spurt-
ed, overcoming the foe and then going
on to gain a nice lead and victory.
Collaborating with Lampson in drop
ping 'em in for Central was Wilbur
Cross, forward, who registered nine
points. while Woodward Rice and Par
kinS, the other members of the winning
combination, which played throughout,
also broke into the scoring column.
Jack Forney, lanky center, was the
big shot for Emerson, coming through
with IL points on five floor goals and
two from the foul line,

with his brother John, by slashing
his wrists and throat with a safety

His brother later explained that
Conrad has been out Of work for

found him sick, with his lungs af-
fected, in a little clearinghouse
room in Harlem. Before he lost his

At the Knickerbocker Hospital
last night, his condition was re.
ported to be serious, and doctors

KILLED NECR0;
WHITEWASHED
200 Cops Who Riddled
Boy Broke Law; Freed

CHICAGO, Jan. Is (CNS). - AT
the inquest just held into the wanton
killing by two hundred policemen of
the 16-year old Negro youth, Frank
Whitehurst, compromise verdict
was rendered. According to this
verdict the police were justified in
killing the boy because of the large
number of policemen killed in recent
months and the boy was justified
in shooting seven policemen in view
of the fact that they had no warrant
to enter his home and he therefore
had right to treat them as burg
lars. But the boy is dead and no.
body will be punished for it.
The inquest was held at the coun-
ty morgue. The Whitehurst family
was represented by Attorney F. L.
Barnett. D. j. Bentall and L. C. H.
Delaney were present from the Chi
cago Local of the American Negro
Labor Congress, which has taken a
keen interest in the police murder
of young Whitehurst and has given
the bereaved family every help pos
sible in pushing the charge against
the police. The congress was in
strumental in arousing public opinion
against this brutal exhibition of po-
lice terrorism and had thousands of
Negro workers go on record at a
mass meeting on December II
against the crime. Of the inquest
jury of six only one was a Negro.

PADDOCK MINES
DEATH TRAPS TO
COAL DIGGERS
Miner Who Falls May
Choke to Death
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
LUZERNE, Pa, (By Mail).-
Other miners Of the Haddock mine
have written you of some of our
grievances. Here are some more.
We are forced to buy our own tools
to hold the job. No man can get
job unless he has his own jack-ham-
mer and other tools. We are also
forced to buy our own batteries,
costing SIG to $40. The al feet"
vein is death trap. Ventilation all
over is very bad. We get sick from
gas and black damp. If miner falls
down, he is bound to choke to death.
We have many cave-ins. Even if
we put in 3 fit of timber, they break
down in no time.
In Monkey" vein, every man,
miner or laborer, must load one car
day. For this he gets Sc fer
miners and $5.16 for a laborer. If
he can't make it, he is kicked out.
Not satisfied with the millions
made out of the exploitation of the
miners, the Haddock Co. makes
profits out of the powder it sells the
miners. They charge $3.75 for
box of powder sold by other COM
panies for $1.50 to $3.50.
In the Ross vein conditions are
rotten. There is no contract signed
and no agreement to regulate work
ing conditions and wages. Every
second day the men work double
shifts in the Top-Ross. The wages
are the lowest paid in District L.
So for miner and S5.16 for laborer.
Several miners who put up a fight
for better conditions were discrim-
mated against and had to quit the
job. Brothers, we must fight the
company and force it to make our
conditions decent.

Hall Addresses Meets;
Many Join Party
I HE

Especial to the Daily Worker
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 15.-The
entre ace Of Otto Hall, Negro field
organizer of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party into the Seattle district,
has given great stimulus to the &C.
tivities of the Negro workers here,
where the best meetings in the west
so far have been held, according to
reports from workers in the district.
On Saturday, Hall addressed a
meeting in the Negro section, at
tended by more than 200 Negro
workers. Pointing to the conditions
now existing in the United States
Iof segregation, lynching, Jim Crow
ism as applied to Negroes and other
oppressed races, Hall contrasted this
condition with the position of Negro
workers and other minority races
and nationalities in the Soviet Union,
"wher' to be a worker means free
DOM" Hall recently returned after
a long stay in the Soviet Union,
and speaks authoritatively on the
conditions of the workers there.
The applications of nine Negro
workers for entrance into the Work
ers (Communist) Party and three
young Negro workers into the Young
Workers (Communist) League cap
ped the meeting.
On Sunday evening Hall addressed
an overflow crowd of workers at the
Seattle Workers Forum, on prog
ress in the Soviet Union" Six new
members for the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party were recruited from the
audience. Many workers had to be
turned away for lack of room. Mon
day evening, at meeting held on
the "Skidroad" in Seattle, Hall re-
pudiated the lies spread by Thomp-
son, organizer of the /. w. w.
Thompson, who is also supporting
the Trotsky renegades, had charged
that the trade unions of the Soviet
Union were forced underground.
Hall effectively answered these lies.
Other cities at which Hall will
speak during the next few days are
Spokane, Wash, on Jan. II, and in
the Twin Cities from Jan. 20 to %.

archaic teaching and theorizing of
