Industrial Accidents

Yesterday showed increased kill.
ing of workers, due to company
greed and speed-up, neglecting all
safety precautions.
Two workers in the subway cut
at Flushing, Queens, were killed by
an marlborough Rapid Transit COM
pany train. The men were Frank
Crast, a railroad supervisor, and
Joseph Kovack, a track worker.
The seven car train was entering
the Main street station and struck
the two men before they could leap
to safety. Service on the line was
held up for almost an hour while
the bodies were removed.
Killed By Cave.
One man had his life crushed out,
and another will probably die in a
landslide in the Brooklyn cross town
subway cut at Jackson Ave-, and
Seventh ST., Long Island City. The
crew of shovelers was sent in to
pick up loose dirt just after blast,
without inspection. Only a few
escaped being buried, and there are
many bruises, broken bones and
other injuries.
Five women were injured when a
hurrying ferry collided with its slip
at the battery, and there were two
more collisions in the bay. Fog or
no fog, sailors and worker pas
sengers have to risk their lives.
Profits are profits, and a job is a

GERMAN, EvERT,

Deeds, Says C.P.
(Wirelcss BIZ Inprecorr)

BERLIN, Feb. 24.-Evert, the
leader of the group in the Commu-
mist Party of Germany which takes
a conciGatory position toward the
Right Wing, has issued statement
retracting his errors and unreserv-
eddy pledging support to the Party's
political line, and a determined
struggle against the Right Wingers
Evert's declaration represents the
bankruptcy of the conciliatory ele-
ments.
The Party organ, the "Rote
Fahne,' declares that experience
with the conciliators shows that their
words are insufficient, that the
statement must be doubted until it is
supported by deeds.
The Communists have won the
elections in the Workers Councils
in Duisberg, Gleivitz, and Essen.
