MONTGOMERY PARK
GROUP At WORK.
Sites to Be Acquired by Gift
if PoSSibIe-CommiSSion
C0nferS.
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY,
star Correspondent Of The Star.

SILVER SPRING, Md, March Ia
Following a conference in the ofacfs OF
the Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission here Monday,
the three men employed to acquire land
for the extensive public park develop
ment in Montgomery County were
started on their task. They are ex-
pected, it was said, to sell the idea of
the public parks to the property owners
and attempt to have them dedicate the
land needed, or, failing in that, to seek
to obtain a contract for the purchase OF
the necessary land at a reasonable
figure. However, If these two methods
fail, it was indicated that the commits
sion will not be stopped in its determi-
nation to start construction of the parks
this Summer, but will institute con-
domination proceedings and throw the
question of acquisition into the courts.
Agents Are Instructed.
The conference was attended by J. H
Cissel, member of the planning commits
sion; E. Brooke Lee, Irving 9. Root,
chief engineer, and Roland w. Rogers,
landscape architect of the commission;
Lacy Shaw, county commissioner, and
G. Y. Latimer, H. e. Rogers and r. d.
Hagner, who will seek to acquire the
land.
Mr.. Cissel, in addressing the three
men who will seek to acquire the land,
told them to sell the idea of the devel-
opment of the park and make every
effort to get the owners to dedicate the
land. He pointed out that practically
all of the land is unsuitable for develop
ment purposes, but that those who dedis
cate would profit by the increase in
the value of their remaining land after
the parks are improved and the roads
constructed, making them accessible to
the public. The increase in value, it
was said, will more than pay for the
value of the land dedicated.
Power of Commission.
On the other hand, it was pointed
out that, under the law, If the owners
do not dedicate, the commission, after
condemning, can assess the cost Of road
improvements against the AUDITING
property owner.
Mr.. Lee said that the company which
he represented would dedicate all of the
necessary land for park purposes in
Sligo Greek Valley. At the present time,
it was said, the commission either has
had dedicated or has promise of dedi-
cation Of 80 per cent Of the land needed
in this valley.
The employees will be required to re-
port the result Of their efforts once a
week to the commission. Mr.. Latiner
and Mr.. Rogers will work with the
owners of property in Sligo Valley, while
Mr.. Hagner will seek the land in Rock
Greek Valley.

TO STUDY LATIN
AMER. REVOLTS
Workers School Offers
Course

NEW YORK.-The Workers School
is taking a great step forward in
creating a class for Party and nom
Party workers to study the revolu-
tionary movements in Latin Am
erica.
The Latin American problem is
right at our door and the present
uprisings in those countries are but
a beginning of the gigantic struggle
between rival imperialists and the
working class for control.
How many of our own comrades
know what is the Monroe Doctrine?
How many realize the tremendous
penetration of Latin America by Am
erican capital? How many know any
thing of the conditions of the toiling
workers and peasants in these coun-
tries? Of the real facts in the Anglo
American rivalries in the Caribbean
area?
Last year the export of this coun-
try to other countries amounted to
the huge sum of $5,135 100000, and
imports S4,o95, 900, 900, and with South
America alone the imports amounted
to $570,000,000 and exports to $780,
100000.
Cuban sugar is bought by the Uni
ted States bosses at between lao and
ITO per pound, which simply means
one penny and a half. Yet the
workers in the United States have to
pay and cents a pound and often
more. Coffee is picked up at between
$40 and 5.75, which means 5k cents
per pound, and how much the Am
erican workers have to pay for it?
Anywhere from IS to so cents a
pound. This shows how terrifcally
the toiling masses of Latin America
are exploited.
To be able to attack the plans of
the imperialists and rally the work.
ing class to support of the Latin
American masses we must educate
ourselves on conditions in Latin Am
erica Every class-conscious worker
should register for this class at the
Workers School.

PROVE OHIO Mine
BLAST IS MURDER
Experts Say Boss Could
Have Prevented Risk

MILLSFIELD, Ohio, Nov. 7.-As a
result of the speed-up in the Sum-
day Greek Coal Co. Mine No. 6. 70
miners are dead following a blast.
More deaths are expected There is
a discrepancy in the figures. The
company admits 148 were trapped
underground and only 81 rescued
alive. Reports from miners here
show that despite the fact the mine
was gaseous and in an extremely
dangerous condition, open flame
lamps were permitted as the COM
pany was interested in pushing its
production at reduced cost.
An investigation" is being under
taken under the supervision of the
U. S. Bureau of Mines.
The speed-up system in Millsfield,
which resulted in 70 deaths, is being
followed throughout the country.
NEW YORK. - release from
Washington, D. c. by the Science
Service, Friday, says that the blast
which occurred at Millsfeld would
never have taken place "if every mine
were to use precautionary measures
such as rock dusting."
The Service goes on to say:
1.-THE safety division of the Blu
reau of Mines has found that al
though rock busting would cost less
than one per cent per ton of coal,
only small percentage of the
mines in this country are thor
oughly rock busted. The MilIfield
mine was not even partly rock
busted"
Rather than lose a few cents in
profits, the bosses infinitely prefer to
have the workers blown to bits. The
same is true in every other industry
in the United States, where rational
ization is being pushed to the limit
to keep up profits during the present
crisis.
They Admit 1t.
Several days ago Secretary of Com
merce Lamont admitted that in 1929,
at least $4,000 workers lost their lives
in industry, and 100000 were in
jured.
The speed-up will be pushed more
drastically in the months to come,
bringing up the death rate in indus
try all along the lines. The workers
must prepare to fight against this
vicious speed-up and negligence of
the bosses.
