B0ARDMAN PLANE
 DAMAGED BY FIRE
American Legion Publicity : Flight Has Been Postponed

Boston, Sept. 5 LP>-The remains which caught fire while being fuelled for a test flight on the eve of a transatlantic hop, were being pre- pared today for shipment to the Bel lanca factory at New Castle, Del. The right wing and fuselage were destroyed by the flames.
 Boardman, who had, planned to make the flight within a few days in the interests of the coming Amer ican Legion convention, said that he thought a week would be needed to make the repairs to his ship. He after the completion of repairs as possible.
 Two Theories Advanced
 There were two theories under in vestigation today concerning the cause of the fire. One was that a cigarette spark carried to the plane by a brisk wind had started the blaze and another was that a static spark from the pouring gasoline had caused the fire.
 Maryan Freiter, a mechanic. was perched atop the right wing meas uring gasoline tnto the main tank when the fire started. It was late in the afternoon and Boardman had planned test flight to New Bedford before dark.
 The highly inf1ammable wing cov- erings and fuselage fabric caught quickly. Boardman, who was in the cockpit testing instruments, kept the fire from the main tank, at his back, with small hand extinguisher while the airport fire department smoth- cred the flames on the coverings. Freiter was burned about the hands when the gasoline can from which he was filling the tanks became en- veloped by fire. O

LINSEED PRESSERS
WORK Is DOUBLED
Want to Organize; Ask

tBy a Worker Correspondent


CHICAGO, Ill.-About the rotten
conditions here in the Spencer KEEL
logg plant. The men here work in
tights as it is so hot inside. The
company will not let us workers wear
gloves even though the hot stuff we
must handle ruins our hands. Last
year they speeded us up.
Two men used to work on one press
and make six presses. Now one man
works on one press and he put I'D
four for the same wages.
Want to Organize.
I work on number two press. I
have talked to the men on Number
one, four and five. I believe the
chance is good to organize them in
the Trade Union Unity League should
an organizer or speaker go out and
talk to them.

SPEEDJJP HURLS
HIM FROM ROOF
Organize This Fight
Against Accidents
(By a Worker Correspondent


MARTINEZ, Calif.-The speed-up
at the Shell refinery in Martinez,
Calf, has become SO terrific that
the workers are in ever greater dan
ger of injury or death.
James Canova, young worker,
slipped off the top of tank car in
the rush to load it with oil. His
shoulder is broken and he is suffer-
ing from shock and possible internal
injuries. This latest accident to a
worker is a direct result of the new
onslaught on the workers which has
fired over ESQ workers in the last
three weeks.
These are the methods Shell and
the other companies use to main
tain their huge profits in spite of
the deepening economic crisis. They
mean death from starvation for the
workers fired ana death from speed
up and bad living and working con-
ditions fer the workers left on the
job.
The only thing we workers can do
to save ourselves from being driven
to death by the company is to or
ganize ourselves into the Mine, Oil
and Shelter workers Industrial
Union and get ready to strike.
Oil Worker.
