Few Are Successful
By Urited Press

Only four westward airplane
fights across sthe north Atlantic
have been accomplished this year.
In August of 1924 four American
army officers spanned the ocean
from England to Nova Scotia by
way of Iceland, Greenland, Labra-
dor and Newfoundland.
In April of 1923 the late Baron
Won Huenefeld and two companions
in the Bremen few from Ireland
to Greenly Island, off the Labrador
coast, where they made a forced
landing.
Last June Commander Charles
Kingsford- Smith and three airmen
raced from Port Marnock, Ireland,
to Harbor Grace, before their plane
Southern Cross, was forced down.
Last week Capt. Wolfgang Won
Gronau and three companions sue
ceeded in bringing a Dornier-W Wal
flying boat from Germany to New
York, with landings in Iceland,
Greenland and other Atlantic
islands.
Against this record of triumph
there have been many failures, with
a. loss of ten lives. Those who flew
west to their death were Capt.
Charles Nungesser and Capt. Fran
co.'s Coli, Princess Ludwig Loewen-
stein -Wertheinn, Capt. Leslie Ham
ilton and Colonel F. F. Minchin;
Capt. Walter r. G. Hinchcliffe and

big plane would crash as it
struggled desperately to gain
altitude. 1t dipped close to
the ground twice, but Coste
succeeded in getting away, al
though the heavy load of fuel
caused the tail of the machine
to drag after it left the rum
way.

from LIE Bourget.

DETROIT, Sept. New revela-
tions in the Gerald E. Buckley slay-
ing are expected to unfold before
the twenty -two-man grand jury in
the next few days. The body was
in recess today.
When the jury is convened again
Tuesday, it is understood an attor-
ney, alleged to have been at the
head of a gang Of hoodlums, will be
subpoenaed.
This lawyer, it was understood,
called at the radio station from
which Buckley spoke daily, two or
three days before he was murdered
with a group of his followers. He is
said to have made proposition to
Buckley, and, when that failed, to
have made threats.
Details of Detroits kidnapping
rings, and of the vicious cleaners
and dyers' war, which was waged
here for four years, are to be given
the jury, according to Wilbur M.
Brucker, attorney general.
Three confessed kidnapers, two
already serving long prison sentences
and the other facing a sentence, are
expected to furnish the details.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. IA pile of
rocks on the track was held re-
sponsible today for the wreck of the
Texas Special, crack southern linn
tied passenger train of the st. Louis
& San Francisco railroad, fifteen
miles west of here Sunday night.
Eight persons were killed and
twenty-five were injured when seven
coaches of the twelve-car train left
the track. The combination coach
and the chair car were demolished.
Railroad officials and residents of
the vicinity believed the rocks we're
placed on the tracks by boys.
Earlier reports said the obstruction
might have been carried on the
right-of way by plotters.
P. w. Connolley, superintendent
of terminals for the railroad, took
charge of the rescue work.
Eight Rocks on Track
Passengers in the rear coaches
we're uninjured and many of them
did not know the train was wrecked
until they were informed by porters.
Many men aided in the rescue work
or calmed frightened passengers.
Women passengers gave first aid
treatment to the injured.
Railroad officials said eight rocks,
each about one foot square, had
been placed on the track at curve.
Unverified reports were spread that
groups of boys had been playing
Sunday afternoon near the scene of
the wreck.
One passenger, in descxlbing the
wreck, said:
II was seated in the rear coach
when the train suddenly gave a
sickening lurch. Then followed a
series of crashes as the cars be-
fore ours leaped the rails, one by
one.'
Hiram Nash, Pullman porter, said
that he hardly realized what hap
pened. "There wasn't much noise" :"
Nash said. 1.-THE train made two
lurches before it stopped. was
making berth and it, didn't even
throw me down"
Engineer, Fireman Killed
Residents of Usage Hill station,
near where the wreck took place,
aided the injured from the train
and recovered the bodies. Persons
who saw the train few minutes be-
fore the wreck said it was travel
ing about forty miles an hour. The
train left st. Louis at about $50
p. m.
The dead included c. E. Ray, en-
gineer, st. Louis; E. T. White, fire
man, st. Louis; Mrs. Isabel New

SLAIN NEGRO CONVICT
IS ISSUE IN PRIMARY
Louisiana Lease System Brings Suit
$4,000 Damages.

81 United Press
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. IA slain
Negro convict has become a major
political issue in the last week of
Louisiana's senatorial primary CAM
paign.
Governor Huey P. Long, opposing
United States Senator Joseph E.
Ransdell for the Democratic SEN
atorial nomination, was named CO.
defendant Saturday in a petition for
$4,000 damages filed by the widow
of Curtiss Riley, 10, Negro leased
convict. Riley was shot to death a
week ago while rebelling on a
privately owned rice farm.
The dead man, subjected to
slavery and cruel and unusual
punishment, was killed after re-
fusing to work longer. the petition
said.
Because Governor Long suggested
and approved the convict lease
system, condemned by an investiga-
ton committee and the press, the
petition declared him liable jointly
with the farm owner and pen man
ager.

The "seven-day week" and over
time without overtime pay are
among abuses inflicted on labor on
state highway paving jobs in south
ern Indiana, The Times has been
informed.
Men who applied for work on
State Road 7, between Madison and
Vernon, Ind, this summer, were
told, Ghey said, the pay would be
$3.50 for each day of ten hours.
But investigation has disclosed
workers frequently were told at the
end of ten hours that they had
failed to reach given points esti-
mated for that day. and so must
work an additional hour or two
without overtime EAly. The seven
day week is a common practice in
The Indianapolis times., 1930-09-01


On the other hand, the period
since the November stock market
rcash is recognized as a term of
extreme economic stress for mil
lions of workers. Particularly, is
this true in recent months, due to
inroads made on reserves by partial
or whole unemployment during the
slack months.
Pledge Not to Cut Wages
Perhaps the high point of the
year in achievement for labor re-
lief was the pledge of leading Amer
ican industrialists at the Hoover
business stabilization conference,
not to cut wages.
Most employers are reported to
have adhered to this policy, al
though unemployment is said to
have increased since that confer
ence and earnings of workers have
dropped in a relatively large
amount.
Part. of the drop in earnings was
due to part~tine employment, a
system adopted in many places to
prevent complete layoffs.
The wage pledge was made after
President Green and other labor
officials conferred with the Presi-
dent and the employers leaders.
President Hoover's public works
and other recent activities to pro-
vide work are well-known. Congress
enacted bill to provide for better
information on this question, and
two other bills, passed by the sem
ate, still are pending in the house
for action in the December session.
Advance Planning Proposed
One of these would provide for
advance planning of public works
to deal with such situations as this
one, the other for state-federal
system of employment agencies.
Other programs for permanent
alienation of the problem of the
workless have been given pronli-
nence by the present situation.
Chief of these are the suggestions
of President Green for an annual
wage for workers and employees as
in Great Britain, shorter workdays
and shorter workweeks.
These can be attained, labor men
say, by more intelligent manage
ment of their business. to spread
their production evenly out in the
year so that seasonal markets will
be supplied without the resulting
seasonal unemployment.
