DUPENI, Rumania, Aug. 6. -
Fifty-eight miners were killed and
over 100 injured when Bloody Queen
Marie's gendarmes fired into the
mass pickets at mines near this
town. Many of the wounded are ex-

After the shooting the miners
stormed the mine and effectually
prevented attempts to run the works

equipment and the pumping stations.
More troops are being sent.
There has been constantly increas-

every attempt at labor organization
and the use of troops in strikes for
some time.
The Rumanian government is a

MITTEN TO JUDGE
ORLEANS STRIKE
One Killed; 2 Missing
Four Injured

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Thomas
H. Mitten, owner of the street rail
ways of Philadelphia and certain
other cities, has been selected by
Secretary of Labor Davis to act as
arbitrator" in the New Orleans
street car strike. He has accepted.
Mitten's choice is apparently a
part of the sell-out scheme of the
Mahon brothers, who control the in
ternational offices of the Amalga-
mated Street and Electric Railway
Employees Association, which is on
strike in New Orleans.
The Mahons have sold out to the
Mittens in Philadelphia, agreeing to
organize no more of the Mitten
roads if they are allowed a check
off from workers on certain of the
Mitten lines. Both the Mittens and
Mahons are notorious class collab-
orationists.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Aug. g.
Pravda, official organ of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union,
declared yesterday that U. S. Secre-
tary of State Stimson's proposal to
"liquidate the conflict over the
Chinese Eastern Railway" reveals
the bOundless hypocrisy of Stimson,
ana shows the anti-Soviet plans of
the imperialists in the Far East.
Pravda quotes the declaration of
Sun Fo, the transport minister of
the Marking government, made July
Is, showing that the railway was
seized at the orders of the Chang
Kai-shek government.
Pravda declares that it is difficult
TO believe that Mantel, the Amer
lean railway adviser of the Marking
government did not know of the
preparations being made to seize the
Chinese Eastern Railway.
Pravda points out that the paci-
fist hullabaloo of the imperialist
powers, particularly the activities in
Washington and Paris, is intended
only to conceal the real aims of the
imperialists and their Chinese IN
struments.
The interested parties" mentioned
by Stimson undoubtedly mean share
holders of the former Russian

groups who make a fictitious claim
