Kills 2, Injuries Many;
Negroes Aid Helpless

In a cloudburst which created a
panic among thousands of spec
tators at the Yankee Stadium Sun
day afternoon, one woman and a
man were trampled to death and
scores were hurt. The identity of
the dead woman is unknown, al
though she is believed to be Eleanor
Price, 80, 184S Loring Place, Bronx.
The dead man is said to be Joseph
Carter, chauffeur, whose address is
unknown.
Twenty others, several of them
severely injured, were taken for
temporary treatment to the Yankee
Club quarters.
While white baseball fans stam-
peded their way to the exits with
sporting" disregard for the safety
of others less able to force through,
Negro boys fought to restore order
and gave valuable aid to the injured.
The panic followed the call of the
game due to rain in the fifth inning
of the first of the two games to be
played ty the Boston Red Sox and
the Yankees.
As The $4,000 spectators pushed
over the diamood to the exits, the
rain came in terrific downpour.
The crowd broke into a run, and
within a few moments panic disor-
ganized the rush TO the exits.

PIONEERS MEET
DESPITE POLICE
TERRORIzATION
Discuss Past Work and
Anti-War Tasks
By I. TRAUBER.

Seventy-five delegates and alter
mates participated in the opening OF
the first business session of the thirG
District Convention of the Young
Pioneers, which started here on Sat-
urday morning.
The session was well under way
when a gang of policemen invaded
the hall in order to tear down huge
sign hanging on the front of the
building, which denounced the police
brutality. In protest against this
disruption of their meeting, the Pho
neers sang songs and hissed and
booed the police. Then they filed
down into the street in front of the
Workers Center, and staged a pro-
test against the action of the police.
A huge crowd had gathered to
watch the demonstration of the Pio-
neers. Immediately, the police began
to arrest and terrorize the children
who marched in the demonstration.
The Pioneers were pushed into the
street, and a Gordon of policemen
were set up to see that they would
not get upon the sidewalk again.
AS result of this demonstration,
8 Pioneers were arrested and taken
together with II other workers who
were arrested, to the 9Th precinct
police station. There, they were
booked and searched. They were de-

POWER CO.LOAN
TO DAILY NEWS
Tabloid Under Contract
for S5,000,000

A dispute over the alleged
swindling of the Daily News by
means of an overcharge for news
print paper bought from the power
trust has revealed that this New
York tabloid has been under con-
tract to receive a loan of S5,000,000
and has had other organic connec-
tions with the power trust since
1924.
The International Power and
Paper Companies, who are now un-
der charges of extensive purchases
amounting to at least 80 newspapers
in important cities of the United
States, are thus hooked up with one
of the widest circulated New York
dailies.
Contract in 1924.
The relations between the Daily
News and the power trust were close
and binding, suit just filed by>the
News Syndicate Co., the owner
paper, against A. R. Graustein, as
president of the International Paper
Co., shows that in 1924 a contract
between the Daily News ard the
paper company, owned by the power
trust, was made to buy all paper
from the power trust at the lowest
rates it gave other papers. This
contraco was continued and ex-
tended year by year.
On October 19, 1928, clause was
added that the International Paper
Co. should loan the Daily News
$5,000,0C0, take mortgage on its
42nd st. building, then under con-
struction for it, and agree to rent
ten stories of the building at a good
price, S2.64 square foot. This
placed the paper completely in the
grip of the power trust, as the loan
was to come in stallments.
The Daily News exposed its own
prostitution when it finally revolted
against what it says is an over
charge amounting sometimes to $40
ton for print paper, and filed suits
for the recovery of S7S0,000.

BOSS THUGS SLUG
IRON STRIKERS
36 Pickets Are Jailed;
Strike Spreads

Exasperated by the success of the
strike of nearly 1000 iron and
bronze workers, the bosses have be-
gun to call upon their reserve force
of hired thugs and gangsters in an
effort to break the strike.
Jail Strikers.
These gentry obtained the ready
assistance Of the police. Following
a murderous attack with clubs and
hammers on group of pickets be-
fore the Reliance Fireproof and
Sash and Doom Company and the
Penn Brass and Bronze Workers, SO
pickets were jailed and held on a
charge of "disorderly conduct"
Officials Of the company who en-
gineered the arrests informed the
police that the strikers, by picket
ing, in.crfered with their scabs en-
tering the plants. The inability of
the bosses to run their shops is
proved by the hysterical kilograms
sent out by w. H. Jackson & Co., a
Brooklyn firm, where the workers
are out 100 per cent. This COM
pany wired all its employees on Fri
day, guaranteeing them "police pro-
lection" if they would return to
work.
Unorganized Join Strike.
Hundreds of unorganized workers
have joined the strike, which is be-
ing led by the Architectural Iron
and Bronze Workers, and the walk
cut movement is spreading each day.
Enthusiastic strike meetings are
held each day in halls in various
parts of the city, and all plants are
icing continuously picketed. ~
