BIGGEST 1880 NEWS STORIES
NOT FORGOTTEN BUT AGAIN WILL
INTEREST READERS next YEAR

gangsters, in broad daylight, with
hundreds of people near by.
That story, too, will have a carry
over in 1881.
It was supposed at first that he
was killed because he had been
too active in exposing gangland &C
tivities; then it developed that this,
unfortunately, was not the case.
Instead it was shown that he had
been altogether too intimate with
certain gangsters.
Resented Refusal
His death came because one gang
faction resented his refusal to ex-
tend to il the favors that he ex-
tended to another faction, favors he
apparently was able to get because
of his close connection with high
police officials.
In a broader sense, the "big story"
of 1880 probably was the upheaval
in India.
There Mahatama Gandhi, idol of
millions of Indians, despaired of
ever getting the concessions he
wanted from the British govern
ment, and led the nation into a
passive resistance" struggle for
complete independence.
Gandhi himself was arrested, and
he is now lodged in prison. His
followers, however, are continuing
their struggle for independence.
Hundreds of them have been killed
in clashes with police and soldiers.
Many more have been imprisoned.
But the struggle is as tense now
as it was early in the year, and
shows no signs of abating.
Still another of the ito be con-
tinued" stores of 1880 was the story
of the London naval armament re-
duction treaty.
Case Reviewed Twice
Signed in the spring, this treaty
puts new restrictions on the navies
of England, Japan and the United
States, restrictions which will have
marked effects on the actions of the
naval leaders in all of these coun-
tries during 1881.
In the United States, for example,
many warships will be scrapped.
The battleship Utah will be towed
out. to sea and sunk by gunflre as a
target for the battle fleet.
New construction will be begun
and the American congress will
have to determine just how much
new construction it cares to mi
tiate.
The same is true of the other
signatory powers. The London naval
treaty, therefore, will be in the
headlines again in 1881.
There is also the Mooney Billings
case.
CALIFORNIA; supreme court twice
reviewed the case, and each time
refused to recommend a pardon.
King Carol to Figure
However, California will have a
new Governor in 1881, former
Mayor James Rolph Of San Fran
cisco; and Rolph, known to be more
sympathetic to Mooney and Billings
than his predecessors, is expected
to reopen the case.
Then there are the stories about
Carol of Rumania.
When 1880 opened, Carol was a
disinherited prince living in Paris
Unexpectedly he went back to Ru-
mania, taking his place as king anc

Ohio Prison Disaster and
Lingle Case Carrying
Over Into 1881.

Most of the ''big stories" that
Hurried newspaper offices during
1890 are as dead now as the brittle
and yellowed leaves of the news
paper files in which they were laid
to rest. In nearly all cases, the
great events that made startling
headlines will never be heard from
again, except by historians.
A few, however, will carry over
INTO 1881. They were news stories
That should have carried Ito be con-
tinued next year" at the end. They
bred headlines in 1880 and they will
breed more headlines in 1881.
Chief among these is the story
shat newspaper men generally rank
as the biggest story of the year
the fire in the Ohio penitentiary at
Columbus on April 81, in which 800
convictS were burned to death.
The last emberS of that fire have
long since turned cold. The gaunt
warehouse-like building housing G
and H cell blocks, where the 800
convictS died, has been rebuilt and
refurnished. -blackened walls
have been made over, heat-bent
iron bars have been replaced, and a
new group of convicts occupies the
space formerly used by the men
Ohio's negligence killed.
More to Be Heard
But the Ohio prison fire story, as
a story, is not over yet. More will
be heard from it-much more.
The Ohio penitentiary was anti
quated and horribly overcrowded
last spring. 1t was so extremely out
of date that when small fire
started 800 convicts were killed be-
fore prison officials could get them
to safety. 1t was so overcrowded
that for a month after the fire the
prison was regular powder mine,
ready to explode into dreadful riot
on the slightest provocation..
Few people realize how narrowly
the worst prison riot in all history
was averted in those days just after
the fire.
The important thing to realize
now is that little, if any, real i'm
provement has been made since the
fire. The conditions that bred trou-
BILE last spring still exist.
Problem Not Solved
After the fire it was agreed every
where that Ohio needed an entirely
new prison system. Today Ohio
has the same system it had year
ago.
So the Ohio prison holocaust will
figure in the news in 1881. The
fire last spring revealed a problem
that has not yet been solved.

May Day, 1880, finds capitalism in. the
United States and the world over in very
serious crisis. 1t is no longer able to provide
living for the workers
In the United States there are over 7,000,-
600 unemployed workers, of which 100000
are women, walking the streets daily in search
for work and unable to find it. With their de-
pendents, these jobless millions make a total
of at least 100000 starving workers. thrown
out of their homes into the streetsj dependent
on charity, crumbs thrown to them by the
ruling class to Keep them alive. This so-caled
country of prosperity" has not even got the
meagre government unemployment insurance
that other capitalist countries like England
and Germany have. The American working
class, especially the Negro workers, among
whom the percentage of unemployed is almost
double that among the white workers, is today
facing misery and starvation imposed upon
them by the capitalist boss class.
The capitalists are attempting to solve the
economic crisis at the expense, of the working
class. The conditions and standard of living
of the American workers are becoming worse

 Unless greater export demand comes soon and is sustained, repe- tition of last years grain tie-u1 in the west is threatened. Lakehead elevators are filled to almost the same level as year ago. Last fall both the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific railways put into effect an embargo against grain movement to packed Lakehead bins
 Today the best cash wheat is sell ing for less than 90 cents per bush el. However, not only the wheat yield. forecast as some 100, 100000 bushels larger than last year, is causing the storage worry. Barley and oats crops are expected to be much larger than in 1929. Rye and barley stocks at the head of the lakes are more than three times as large as twelve months ago.
