whose offices were also picketed in
New York. In New York, $4,000
paraded, and police dubbed many of
the 5000 workers demonstrating in
Union Square. In Charleston, w.
Va, thousands of coal miners, car
penters, steel workers and teamsters
were on strike.
In Paris and Rome all work
stopped and the workers partici-
pated in huge demonstrations, with
professions and meetings through
out these cities.
In 1915, $4,000 workers took part
in a May Day parade. Ten thou
sand shirtwaist makers, 1000 bakers
and other workers also held parades.
In Singapore, China, there was a
mutiny of native troops, but the
capitalist press suppressed all but
the barest mention of it.
May Day in 1915 was one of great
strikes, with 10000 needle trades
workers out in New York, 10000
painters, $500 jewelry workers, etc.
Tug boat engineers tied up New
York harbor. A huge parade of
$4,000 cloakmakers observed May
Day as a day of militant protest

ploitation. In Pittsburgh, $4,000
Westinghouse workers struck, as
did $500 trolley men.

Some Inspiring Nav Days of
Recent Years Turnout World

A brief review of some of the
May Days of the past Is years will
be inspiring to the militant workers
throughout the country, who are
now preparing to down tools to
demonstrate their solidarity with
the struggles of the proletariat
throughout the world against i'm
perialism, against the war danger,
against attacks contemplated upon
the Soviet Union, and for better
working and living conditions.
On May Day, 1918, New York
City saw parade of $4,000 work
ers, with 100 children of Paterson
silk strikers participating. Two
thousand other children also pa
raded. In Richmond, S. l., police
attacked Italian strikers who were
parading with red shirt as a flag,
firing into the ranks of the strikers.
In Buffalo, thousands of drivers,
telephone girls and store clerks
struck. In Auburn, textile workers,
railroad workers and carpenters
struck for shorter hours and higher
wages.
In Rome, $4,000 workers took
part in May Day meetings. In Lon
don, 10000 workers demonstrated
against capitalists and militsrism.
The next May Day, in 1914, found
the Colorado coal miners on strike
against the murderous Rockefellers,

WANT EVIDENCE
BURIED IN new
INVESTIGATION
futile Will Not Name
Suicide Prompter

Every effort is being made by U.
:. District Attorney Chas. H. futile
and interested parties to keep secret
he charges brought, evidence given
md names mentioned in the 36-page
confession OF David Steinhardt, head
Of the bankruptcy ring which opera
ted around Federal Judge Winslow,
now resigned under fire.
District Attorney futile yesterday
refused absolutely to make known
any of the names in the confession
of Steinhardt, which is said to i'm
plicate many highly placed social
and political figures in New York.
Congress Wants 1t.
Representative William I. Siro-
vich of New York, said today that
he would ask for congressional ac-
ton to compel U. S. Attorney
Charles H. futile to reveal to con-
gress the contents of the So page
confession of David Steinhart, bank
ruptcy lawyer who committed sui
eide at Philadelphia last week.
The congressman said he was leav-
ing for Washington to introduce a
resolution for appointment of a COM
mittee of ten to make a thorough
investigation of the bankruptcy
situation. fn
However, Sirovich did not have
any intention of giving material to
those subversive elements who scott
at the idea that the U. S. Govern
ment is the most Virtuous possible,
he made clear.
Sirovieh said he was particularly
anxious that the Steinhart confess
sion be obtained for congress before
the names of prominent men alleged
to be contained in it are divulged.
Hide Suicide Prompter.
His questioners gained the i'm
preston that somebody in congress
is worrying about the names that
might be mentioned in that confess
sion, and IL seemed TO them pretty
certain that if it were given to a
congressional committee of ten, it
could be eventually safely pigeon
holed as part of the evidence in an
Investigation" that has no end,
and operates secretly.
Neither will futile say anything
about evidence given him by Herbert
L. Maris, of Philadelphia, close
friend of Steinhardt, who spent four
hours Monday trying to convince
futile, in a secret interview, that a
certain highly placed parsonage
forced Steinhardt to suicide, and ac-
cording to one rumor, provided the
poison which was cyanide of potas-
SUM, very deadly drug rather hard
to obtain.

substitution of tonnage from one
category of warships to another,
feels that the elections make it in
expedient to quarrel loudly just
now, and fights for delay.
These tactics became evident to-
day when First Lord of the Adj
miralty Bridgeman gave an inter-
view to the press, and stated:
without in any way wishing to
appear wet-blanketer, may sug-
gest that personally think it is far
more likely that the Gibson pro-
posals will succeed if we do not
try to force the pace too much at
this particular moment. Above all,
no not think l am even attempting
to suggest too long a delay. In
deed, / think that might be fatal.
What I mean is that we must real
ize that Britain soon will be in the
throes of an election which means
a number of things.
"a Little Reflection"
"Besides, I frankly believe things
will be all the better for little re-
Election. 1t is scarcely wise to
plunge head-first into such a COM
plicated problem.
Bridgeman paused, then he added:
Don't you think we should profit
by past experience? Are you sure
Geneva was not lesson to be
learned? l remember my last &C.
neva conference after which we were
told there had not been enough
preparation. | am inclined to agree"
French Build Sea Terror.
PARIS, April % U.P). = The
eighth new French warship to be
launched within a month, 10000
ton cruiser to which the government
has given the name Marshal Foch,
will slide down the ways at Brest
tomorrow.
This warship is believed to be the
greatest cruiser afloat. In its
speed trials late in the summer it
is expected to surpass the 36 knots
of the Tourville.
With eight launchings within a
month, the French navy can be said
to have been reborn. The building
program is far from complete, but
with the ships added during the
past year, the fleet now contains as
many modern cruisers, destroyers
and submarines as the American
navy.

had lost their headquarters, and
were forbidden by the guard from
congregating in the relief store.
They were spread along the streets,
in little groups, denouncing the out
rage. We decided on a meeting.
"On Union Platform"
Even our platform of railroad
ties had completely disappeared in
the night. We waited on the empty
lot back of the headquarters, and
the strike committee went out to
notify the strikers. Soon they be-
gan pouring in. We rolled out an
old wrecked Ford, placed the some
what battered union sign, rescued
from the ruins, over it, and we had
a platform. When | opened the
meeting there were more than 1000
present. There were at least so
deputies and police there.
1t became evident almost at once
that the destruction of the head
quarters had not had the effect de-
sired by the mill owners. Never
had enthusiasm reached such high
pitch. The first burst Of cheering
came when | declared:
"We are standing ON the platform
of the union in very literal sense
today. Our sign has been battered
by sledge hammers, but despite all
violence against us, we will fight
for this platform until we win. This

they are hard to find.
The rent in these houses is from
So to S25 a month, but you can't
live in the cheap ones unless you
want to get sick, and many a miner
can hardly pay the So, as the wages
are so low and the mines are work
ing only half-time, at that.
Can Swell the Water
What kind of water do the miners
get in these camps? The water is
pumped out of the mine where men,
horses and rats tramp about, full
of germs. In some places the water
is pumped out of little creeks into
which the sewers of the other camps
empty.
In Daisytown, one of the Vesta
mine camps, you can smell bucket
of water at least 10 yards away.
No Wash Houses
They have very few houses there.
They are all barracks with II fam
lilies to one barrack of "a rooms, CIV
ing only two rooms to family. One
barrack is almost on top of the
other, leaving no room for the chill
dren to play in yards.
How does the miner wash the dirt
from himself after working in coal
dust over 10 hours a day? 1t is
hard to believe, but it is true. There
are no wash houses, they are only
for the bosses and their suckers.
Protection From Bugs
The miner washes at home in a
washtub since there is no bathtub.
In many of the houses from three to
five persons wash in the same water
and tub. First, each one washes
his face, then each his legs to get
the sweat. the rest of the body must
stay dirty until Saturday. Some
times a miner must go a month or
more without a bath for lack of
water or room to wash, especially
in boarding houses.
The men in boarding houses claim
that if you Cont wash for a few
weeks you are better off, as the
bedbugs can't bite through the dirt.

then introduced Unison, a noun
taineer, who spoke to the workers
in their own language, with their
own accent, and who evoked re-
sounding cheers. Then came Amy

Relief director here, who told of her
arrest that morning on charge of
"disorderly conduct"
Take Union to Heart
While Ellen Dawson was speak
ing, U. S. harshal Coin beckoned to
me and declared he had a federal
warrant for her arrest. induced
him to wait until the meeting con-
cluded and then we drove to Char
lotte, where Dawson was taken be-
fore Magistrate Higgins, who
placed her bond at $4,000.
The arrest of Ellen Dawson, fol-
lowing on the heels of the destruc-
ton of the headquarters, again
aroused resentment against the au-
thorities to high pitch. After her
release from Mecklenburg county
Jail, she spoke before the huge
throng that had gathered behind the
demolished headquarters, and the
reception she received showed that
the workers have taken the union
and its leaders to their hearts, that
they are ready to die to build the
union, just as the miners were ready
to wade through blood to establish
the international Miners Union.
Since the arrest of Ellen Dawson
and the act Of the masked mob,
many hundreds of workers have
flocked into the union as an answer
to the attack of the mill owners
and their allies.
