CAST0NIA SWlTCHMEN STOP SCAB TRAIN
Fy CqteteQs Struck on First Day OF Huge General Strike
OuueY Drunk,
Captain Gome-;:
Frame Sailors

Every effort was being made late
Yesterday by P. Sanford Ross, own
er of a shipyard, at 227 Washington
St., Jersey City, to cover up, deny,
and coat with whitewash an early
report that his brother, Leland Ross,
owner of the yacht Nomad, was on
board the ship when her captain
John B. Scofield was thrown over
board off the Jersey coast, and the
ship left to drift under full sail to-
ward the rocks.
The first reports, after the ship
was towed into the dock by the coast
guard, was that Ross was found
lying drunk in cabin, the captain
and log were gone, and "four mem
bers of the crew mysteriously para
lyzed, perhaps poisoned"
The story that the cost guard is
expected by the Rosses to tell now
is that the men were drunk and
themselves threw overheard the cap
tain, and that the owner was not
in the spree at all, but came up by
train.
Ross was known to have started
from Florida in the ship to coast
along to New York. Joseph Green,
customs supervisor here, announced
that Ross was under arrest along
with two members of the Nomad's
crew and they will be questioned
when the Nomad puts into port to-
night.

of articles starting Monday, April T.
The problem of housing haunts every working class
family in the great cities and small in the tiny vii
lagos especially isolated coal camps and the company

shop industries.
1t may be said that housing of the major prob
lens of the whole working class
The Daily Worker has planned launch its exposure
of the housing conditions in Harlem, the home of the great

oppression.
Dispossession is fearful word that is being heard
about Harlem. Rents expected to climb toward the sky
after May 81, when the Emergency Rent Laws expire
Negro and Latin American workers, who constitute the
majority of tenants in Harlem suffering as they do from
increasing wage cuts and growing unemployment are
facing black prospect of finding themselves In the
streets.
Many of the Harlem tenements condemned as
unfit to live in as back 1901 nearly of years
ago. But the profit hungry landlords still get all the rent
they can them. Extremely insanary conditions every
where prevail Segregation and OvercrOwdng are the
allies of the landlords two of the many evils that bear
down heavily the working class tenants And most OF
the tenants living in Harlem workers.
This series of articles will general interest for
all workers. In order increase the volume of protest
against these ntoerable conditions in order to achieve
something concrete than the mere publication or
these articles, it is necessary for The Daily Worker to
reach out among elements. 1t must win contacts

Fahne, the organ Of the Communist
Party, declares that Seipel's resig

frighten the petty y-bourgeoisie in
order to obtain new mandate to
continue an intensified fascist policy.
The social democratic leaders
demand a coalition, but the Rote

of the rehabilitation of the Austrian
workers, a social democratic coali-
tion on the basis of Seipel's program
is impossible. The Communist or

the factories, to organize the metal
workers, and to form strike COM
