Standard of Indiana is one of the
largest refining and marketing oil
companies in the midwest while
Pan-American is a leader in the
crude oil field, with properties in
the United States, South America
and Mexico.
The Pan-American, an essentially
imperialist venture, was originally
owned by Doheny. The Standard of
Indiana, at the time it was in re-
bellion against the Rockefellers
under President Stewart, some time
ago entered into a deal with Do
heny to take over half his stock.
This gives the Rockefellers, who
have now ousted Stewart and taken
over the Indiana Standard, a chance
to finish off the Doheny holdings,
and add the Pan-American to their
other imperialist enterprises.

Letter to Governor

Observation-Disclosures

GASTONIA, N. c., July 23.-
Following is the letter which
Governor Gardner is subpoenaed
by the International Labor De-
Tense to show at the Gastonia
trial, July 20. 1t was sent by
Roy Stroud, of the strike COM
mittee, on May 16, just after the
first union headquarters and re-
lief station was destroyed by
Manville-Jenckes hirelings, and
plainly warns the governor that
the strikers would defend them
selves if another such raid were
attempted against their new head
quarters, then building. The
striker wrote Gardner:
"Sir:
"The textile strikers of Gas
tonia are building with their own
hands new union headquarters
to take the place of the one de-
molished by thugs while state
militia men were looking on. The
new building is about to be fin
ished and the dedication will take
place next Saturday evening be-
fore thousands of workers.
1T is rumOred around Gastonia
that enemies of the workers, in
spired by the mill owners, arr
plotting to wreck our new head
quarters within three days afte
dedication. The strike committc
/. took the matter up today and dc.

law to protect the life and prop.
erty of the many striking textil,

Every striker is determined to
defend the new union headqusr.

under extra heavy guard.
Man after man refused to tell de-

with questions. They sheer at the
investigation, which they know from
bitter experience is conducted for
the benefit of the records. The mass
protest, in which the participants
faced certain death rather than drag
cut a weary existence in the disease

Gals know, by the long hours en-
forced in the prison industrial
plants, lack of free time and rotten

N, ]. BANK Crash
HITS WORKERS
H e a d ed by Former
Tammany Gov.

EAST ORANGE, N. J., July a.
Hundreds of poor workers-many of
them eking out a meager existence
in the textile mills-faced ruin to-
day as the Hobart Trust Company
of Passaic and two of its subsidiary
banks were closed by order Of the
New Jersey State Department Of
Banking and Insurance. Total as
sets of the bank are said to be
S5,000,000, although Frank H.
Smith, Commissioner of Building
and Insurance, says the capital has
teen impaired to the extent of
100000.
The kidnapping and sudden reap
rearance of the Hobart Trusts ex-
ecutive vice-president, Willard H
Elliott, a month ago had strength
ened the suspicious of those close
to the banks affairs that graft was
swallowing the assets. The banks
president is former United States
Senator Edward I. Edwards, gov
ernor CT New Jersey from 1920
1923. Edwards is active in the Tam
many Hall organization, whose New
York members are largely impli-
Gated in the City Trust swindle.
Textile Workers Hit.
Crowds of poorly-clad workers
from the mill district gathered at the
office of the Merchants Bank, one
of the subsidiary organizations, at
Passaic and Second Sts., this morn
ing. They were forced back by po-
Ice reserves, summoned by those
who brought about the crash.
An inventory of the bank stocks
by Commissioner Smith shows that
only about 80 per cent of the de-
posits are covered by securities
quickly convertible into cash. The
balance is made up of long-term
slow paper of doubtful value. The
real estate shown on the books is
also as fictitious as the famous Fer
"ari City Trust entries.
Asked whether criminal action
i'll be taken against the bank Off
'als, Smith conveniently referred
tie question to the public prosecu-
ter.

"Only by workers being aroused to
the realization of our danger and of
the Importance and significance of
the Gastonia case can we be saved
from electrocution or the peniten-

They shall not be electrocuted!
They shall not serve long years in

They shall be returned i'm
