FARM BUILDINGS BURNED
Early Morning Blaze On Farm
OF G.. A. HutchenS

Fire on the farm of C. A.
Hutchens, one mile south of
Rising Sun, at an early hour
Wednesday morning, destroyed
the wagon house, hoghouse,
chicken house, corn crib, two
automobiles, an International
truck, farm machinery. tools,
100 bushels of wheat, 100 BUSH
els of corn, lot of meat and
much other property.
The fire was discovered at
about 3:15 o'clock, in the wag-
on house, where the autos were
kept, and the alarm given.
The Community Fire Com
pany, of this town, responded,
and as the wagon house and
group of smaller buildings
were in close proximity to the
barn, the Oxford, Pa, firemen
were summoned, and came in
record time with equipment.
There was no water supply
available for the engines, and
the only means of fighting the
fire was the bucket brigade
method, with the well at the
house furnishing the water.
The entire group of smaller
buildings were soon a prey to
the flames, but the firemen,
with the assistance of others
who had assembled, succeeded
in saving the fine large barn
that stood near. Fortunately
the barn was rooted with met
al, and this was the determin-
ing factor in the fight to save
the structure.
The origin of the fire is not
known, but it may have been
caused by short circuit in the
wiring on one of the autos.
Mr.. Hutchens tractor and
threshing outfit were in the
open, and were saved.
The loss is heavy as there
was very little insurance on
any of the property destroyed.

Babe On A Bat.

Babe Ruth" the Queen OF
Swat, staged a grandstand play
on the pubic highway west OF
town on Sunday evening, but
was struck out by J. Barley
corn. Naomi Ruth Strickland,
who operates a road house east
of Rising Sun, was noticed
driving in an erratic manner
near Porters Bridge, and finally
collided with a car operated by
Sidney A. Weiss, of Philada.
Another auto following and
driven by S. J. Wallach, also
narrowly escaped being struck.
When the occupants of these
cars demonstrated with Mrs.
Strickland they were greeted
with language hotter than the
weather, which was far from
zero at the time, and to back
up her hot ones she grabbed a
crank from the car and pro-
ceeded to give an exhibition of
her skill at bat.
After one foul and three
strikes she was declared out,
but disputed the decision, and
on the arrival of an officer the
scene of action was moved to
the Magistrates office.
Ruth was found guilty of dis
putting the umpire's decision
and several other trivial Of
fences, such as operating with
out license, driving while
drunk and reckless driving,
and fined an aggregate of SITS,
which later was raised by some
of her admiring fans.

Vicious AS Boss
And AS Landlord

CHICAGO. &C. Lachman owns a
laundry in the South Side of Chicago.
At the same time he owns also two
houses of 4 and flats each. Be-
cause Of the many evictions caused
by the wave of Hoover prosperity he
has three flats empty. In order to
rent out his flats this exploiter and
landlord found novel plan.
He called in worker who works
in his laundry and told him that II
he wants to keep his iob,he most rent
the fiat from him for $50 per month.
At present the worker lives in a fiat
where he pays only $40 per month.
He is married and has two children.
He would have to pay the expenses
for moving beside increasing his rent
$40 per month.
When he asked the boss if he will
keep the job if he does not move into
the fiat of the boss, he was told NO
At the same time the boss-landlord
refused to give any guarantee that
the worker will keep his job If he
does move. This is the latest scheme
of doubly exploiting and robbing the
workers so far invented by the bosses
in this crisis and unemployment sit

In Trenton, state capital of New
Jersey, Wishnefsky, Communist cam

Dozer Will Graham, Communist
candidate for senator, got 1872 votes.
The highest Communist vote in 1928
election was 70.
In Mercer County, N. j., Wager,
running for state senator on the
Communist vote was 80.
However, it is the Communist votes
cast in small mining steel and textile
towns of Pennsylvania that the
greatest gains so far are recorded,
and the most significant gains. In
these towns the great majority Of
toilers are barred from the ballot, and
still, so aroused are the workers by

Tells of Jobless Youth
Dying of Hun g err

Inglewood, California.
Daily Worker Editor,
Dear Comrade:
In reading the capitalist press,
happened to read an article of some
. interest, telling of a youth Of about
20 years of age, who was found upon
the roof of a theatre building, penni-
less and hungry, waiting to die
slow death. This shows some OF
Hoovers fake prosperity.
The present economic crisis has
aggravated the misery among the
masses of workers, but this youth Is
not the only worker dying a slow
death, there are millions of other
workers in the same condition, the
only way in which the American
workers can fight their interests and
those of the bosses, is to support the
Communist Party and in fighting for
the realization of the Communist
program.
To hell with Hoover and his fake
prosperity

ships and soldiers to China.
Needless to say the secretary
had nothing to tell the workers, his
report had to be made to his bosses
assembled in the Chambers of Hor-
rors; so he went his way under heavy
protection.
Big Crowd
BY that time the crowd had
swelled to about ego and the police
told the comrades to beat it." This,
of course was not our idea; Com
rades Pierce and Whidden insisted
on telling the workers the reasons
for the question and the real answer
toit. For this they were grabbed by
the police and lodged in Jail with
charges against them for violation Of
two city ordinances, which later was
changed to a charge of rioting and
the prisoners turned over to the
county marshal and held under $500
bond. The bonds were furnished
WlbllOuG any bIOuUlc.
Hold Meeting
After the release the prisoners pro-
ceeded across the courthouse lawn
to outside the Federal Employment
Office where good meeting was
held and from there at noon to a
place were an eviction was going tc
take place for non-payment Of rent
the crowd milled around for a couple
of hours and then went to the reg
ular meeting place, a lot in the
downtown district and had another
meeting.
The Law" did not show up for the
eviction and has not yet taken any
action but contact is being kept with
the threatened worker.
We do not expect any conviction
the charges are too raw and the mass
pressure behind too great.
The charges are:
l. Getting on the running board
Of Hurley's car.
2. Cursing Hurley.
8. Blocking the passage OF Hur-
ley's car.
4. Calling Hurley vile names.
s. Inciting the crowd to riot.

many had thought before.

MOSCOW.-The Central Commit
tee of the Communist Party Of the
Soviet Union has published a de-
cision concerning the supply of labor
power in industry etc The decision
points out that the rapid progress in
the work of socialist construction has
eliminated unemployment and that
hundreds of thousands of workers
are still required in industry. The
shortage of labor had become one of
the weak points" and hindered the
rapid carrying out of the plans. The
solution of this problem was now one
of the most important tasks, partic-
ularly for the Peoples Commissariat
of Labor The apparatus of the
Commissariat and its local organs
had not adapted their work to the
new tasks put them by the rapid
progress of socialist construction;
they had shown an impermisSible
passivity, and some of the responsible
leaders had even attempted TO con-
ceal the failures of their organs in
the question of labor supply.
This phenomenon was an express
sion of right-wing opportunism in
the work of the former leadership of
the Commissariat of Labor. In 1881
the most important branches of in
dustry would demand 100000 new
workers. This demand must be met
by training new cadres in the trade
schools and by the continued train
ing of the already existing cadres. In
view of the acute shortage of labor
power the Labor Commissariat was
instructed to register the following
new categories for work in addition
to the old: relations of workers and
employees not members of the labor
unions; the sons and daughters of
workers and employees, even when
they have had no expert training
hav never worked for wages; the sons
and daughters of such home workers
and also of landworkers who are not
members of the labor unions; poor
peasants; and members of the collec-
tive agricultural undertakings. Where
such persons refuse work offered tc
them they must be Immediately
struck out Of the lists. The labor
exchanges must be developed into
organs for training and distributing
labor power.
