In it's issue of the day before,
June 10, the Gazette carries most
inflammatory statements, plainly
calling for lynch nooses and the
stake:
Refused the Truth.
The Gastonia Gazette was given
straight story of the events Fri
day and since by Juliet Stuart
Poyntz, and refused to print it.
The Gazette also does some fancy
Juggling with names and guesses
recklessly about individuals. 1t "dis-
covers" in it's issue of June IL that
Bill Dunno, a correspondent of the
Daily Worker, is none other than
George Pershing, who was on the
ground during the strike.
The two men do not in the least
resemble each other, but the Gas
tonia Gazette has told so many lies
about the strike that few more
make its pages merely more ride
ulous but not more unreliable.
Another absurd statement in the
paper is that Beal was discovered
reading the American Mercury, and
that therefore Mencken, it's editor,
"and men of that stripe" are sup
porting the strike.
The Charlotte Observer also chron-
icles Albert Weisbord as secretary
of the Communist Party" a state
ment which is far from the fact.
More Lynching Editorials.
The Gastonia Gazette, completely
subservient to the Manville-Jenckes
Company and a strikebreaking or
gan from the beginning, continues
to incite to lynching. An editorial
ir its issue of June 10 Is entitled,
"In No Mood to Be Trifled With"

Special meeting of the full board of

5.EL BORDJ, Morocco, June IA
Two thousand mountain Moors are
still firing with deadly effect in a
guerilla warfare upon the loyal
troops of France, in spite of air.
planes which continued throughout
the day yesterday to fire on the
rebel forces with machine guns be-
sides throwing bombs. In the French
outpost of Ait-Yakoub $50 men are
CHARTERED. They are reported to be
gradually using last supplies of
food, water and ammunition. Fail
ing supplies are causing many
assertions.
TANGIER, Morocco, June H.
Heavy fighting is reported from the
French post at Ait Yakoub, where
Moorish tribesmen, rallying wide
spread support in their fight against
French imperialist domination, sur
round the garrison. Over 5000
troops under the leadership of the
renowned butcher, General Freyden-
berg, are expected any moment to
reinforce the walled-in garrison.
They were preceded by three squad
rons of airplanes from the Rich
field, which dropped 600 bombs and
used machine guns against the re-
volutionaries with the same capacity
for organized murder which won
Freydenberg promotion in the early
Riffian wars.
In further attempts to minimize
the stubborn resistance offered to
the invaders, the French government
is attempting to pass off the losses
as 'due to the bright-colored uni
forms" of their soldiers.
The Ait Yakoub troops are hungry,
and airplanes were unable to DROP
supplies. Resultant dissatisfaction
among the rank and file of the
troops is only intensified by the sui.
len attitude of the men toward ths
oppressive discipline of the Foreign
Legion. These factors are viewed
by the Moors as paving the way fol-
even greater successes.
i The adventurer-c Glaoui
bought over by the French since
1914, has again renewed his pledge
to aid the suppression of the revolt
His pledge, however, is weakened
BY the increased discomfort of the
tribesmen he rules.

Bulwinkle's Earlier Frame-Up.

NAO LUNA, N. u, June IA
Major Bulwinkle, who is leading the
efforts to electrocute Fred Beal and
twelve more strike leaders and give
So others long prison terms, is well
known here. He was put on as
head of the prosecution after the
Manville-Jenckes officials and a
crowd of their COMMITTEE of One
Hundred" hired gunner invaded the
city council and made a stormy de-
mand that Bulwinkle go on the city
payroll. The demonstration was
merely to give the excuse for an ar
rangement made some time before
by the city officials and the Man
ville-Jenckes managers, informants
declare.
Bulwinkle was attorney for the
company and for Troy Jones wher
they attempted to frame Beal or
abduction charges because Jones, a
scab, had a wife who left him and
stuck by the union. Beal was freed
on that occasion, as the case was q
too obvious fraud.

Gastonia strikers delegation went
to Washington, wrote Senator Over.

Grating an automobile Is not always

come to court until two or three years
after the offense has been committed,
which, of course, complexities the mat
ter of securing the fairest kind Of
verdict. In 1927 there were %, ABS au-
tomobile fatalities, according to the re-
ports Of the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce. These figures do not
include grade crossing collisions with
railroad trains, following the United
states Bureau of Census procedure
which charges an accident to the
heavier vehicle. In 1927 3,127,315 mo-
tor vehicles registered. This gives a
rate of 81 fatalities per 100000 regis
tration. This is tremendous improve
ment over the situation 10 years ago,
when In 1917 there were 178 fatalities
for every 100000 registered automobiles
It Is encouraging to note that in pro-
portion to the number of automobiles
on our American highways the per-
centage Of serious accidents Is decreas-
ing.
One of the sources of accidents for
which there is very little reason Is the
automobile grade crossing fatality. The
actual number of such accidents Is de-
creasing. In 1927 the automobile cross
ing fatalities totaled 1874, which IS
decrease over 1926, when 2,062 were re-
ported The total number Of railroad
crossing fatal accidents was 1872, which
indicates that there are still quite a few
drivers of vehicles that are not auto
mobiles which get into trouble at rail-
road crossings. When it is considered
that there are 07.231 unprotected high
way railway grade crossings in the
United States, 1t is not surprising that
there are some accidents. However,
extra care on the part of drivers GER
tainly can reduce this number.
