MITCHELL BACKS
POLICY ON CRASHES
Attorney General Supports
Stand of Department in Civ
ing Facts on Wrecks.

An opinion Of Attorney General Will
liam D. Mitchell, to the effect that the
Commerce Department for the past
three and half years has been within
its rights in making public only general
information about airplane crashes in
stead of announcing specific details Of
accidents, as has been demanded by a
number of members of Congress, was
presented subcommittee of the Senate
commerce committee today by Clarence
M. Young, Assistant Secretary of COM
merce for Aeronautics.
The subcommittee was considering
the bill Of Senator Bingham, which
would give the Commerce Department
the right to subpoena witnesses and
compel testimony in airplane crashes,
and protect the department from civil
suits, as is the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the regulation of rail-
roads. The Bingham bill also would
provide for the publication OF specific
data on crashes.
The Department of Commerce has
held consistently that it could not, UNI
der existing authority and protection,
give specific data in crashes. The
opinion of Attorney General Mitchell
presented the Senate today upholds the
department in this contention. In the
opinion the Attorney General said the
course of the Department of Commerce
with respect to the matter, both as to
manner and time of publication, has
been within the limits of your discre-
ton under the statutes and In substan-
tial compliance with its requirements"
The departments policy has been to
issue twice a year detailed general in
formation on airplane crashes, without
reference to particular smash-ups. The
| crash data is tabulated as to general
causes of accidents.

By RYAN WALKER.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Oct. s.
Despite the fact that the local boss

fused to run an ad, the Friends of
the Soviet Union meeting held here
recently was a great success.
Over 300 people came to the
meeting, in spite of the boycott of
the newspaper. Dan Donovan, of
Machinists' Local Union No. So, an
American delegate for the Friends
of the Soviet Union, who just re-
turned from the Soviet Union spoke
about the Five-Year Plan.
Many workers talking in the
streets say they were sorry they
did nto get to hear Donovan's talk
on the Soviet Union and the ire
mendous upbuilding of Socialism
going on in that country. Many of
them complained about not know
ing about the meeting until it was
all over. Donovan made a brilliant
talk, exposing the bosses lies about
the Soviet Union.
Plans are being made to arrange
another meeting for Donovan. and
the expectation is that the hall will
be packed to capacity.

Metal Ladle Explodes
in Ford's Injuring 6
Workers, One Fatally

DETROIT, Oct. 5.-Another case
of speeding up production at Ford's
at the expense of serious injuries
to workers, of whom at least one
will die of his injuries, was enacted
here on the night shift force of the
Hearth Department.
The ladle receiving its load of
melted steel should always be well
dried of all dampness by gas flames
and also capped by its proper cover
before the hot steel is poured in
in this case the first operation was
performed too hastily leaving ladle
damp, and the second operation of
covering was left out entirely. AS
result the metal ladle exploded
severely injuring six, one probably
fatally.

EXPOSE SECRET
IRT LAyOFF PLAN
Workers Organize to
Fight Boss Move

NEW YORK, Oct. AT a secret
meeting of foremen and department
heads of the Interborough Rapid
Transit, held several days ago, the
executive managers told that huge
layoff OBJ about one third of the
working and maintenance force was
to go into effect Saturday, October
18th. The meeting was called for the
purpose of working out methods OF
meeting the anger and resentment
of the workers and forestalling or
ganization.
Workers Are Warned by c. P.
Despite the veil of secrecy the
bosses tried to envelope their move
in, the district office of the Com
munist Party learned of the scheme.
At noon gate meeting held before
the IRT shops at 148th Street and
Nenox Avenue, B. Solar of the Com
munist Party and M. Goldberg of the
Young Communist League exposed
the planned attack and called on the
workers to Immediately organize
shop committees and not dispense
meekly when informed of the lay
off. They were urged to get in
touch with the office of the Trade
Union Unity League at West 18th
Street, to counter the bosses move
with struggle.
Afraid their plan might go awry
by the expose of the Communist
speakers, straw bosses heckled the
two speakers. Foremen in the shop
tried to throw water upon Sklar
and Goldberg, to the evident anger
of the listening workers. A watch
man was sent out to break up the
meeting, but all attempts failed
miserably.
Sklar warned the workers that
the bosses might make a sudden
change in their plans now that their
plot was uncovered, but loyoff was
certain unless the workers fought
it under revolutionary leadership.

NAVY BUILT BY
CONVICT LABOR
Hoover Building Plan
Is Wage Cut Plan

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 5.-The
convention of the metal trades de-
partment of the A. F. L. here
brought out incidentally further
proof of the hypocrisy of the Hoov-
er building program which was an
nounced this spring as the death
blow to unemployment.
The metal trades chiefs are all in
favor of building big navy. This
convention passed a resolution for
more cruisers, and showed the usual
Jingoistic enthusiasm for "war to
free the trade routes"
Then, delegates from the navy
yards broke the news that those
cruisers now being constructed have
resulted in the same Hoover gov
sernment which called building a
cure for unemployment itself in
creasing the numbers of the unem-
ployed. The Hoover navy depart
lnent is firing union mechanics
wholesale and putting in their
places naval prisoners whose pay is
only what they eat, or navy person
mel working for S21 a month.
There was considerable scandal
in the convention but nothing done,
and the delegates proceeded to vote
their fake ''five day week and five
hour day" proposition. After it was
reported, discussion brought out
that it included a joker for two
shifts which delegates showed
meant unemployment because it
piled up goods faster than the pres
ent nine hour day, and the corpora
tons already fire men because of
overproduction.
This scandal was hushed up with
out even formal demand for high
er wages per hour for those put on
the five hour shifts.
The Communist program is for
shorter hours and higher wages,
and to organize and strike against
wage cuts.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. s.
With all four state candidates of the
Communist Party on the ballot and
only five of the IA nominated still
lacking 5000 signatures, the Com
munist Party is using the last few
days for a final drive to get the
$4,000 signatures needed and put
all candidates en- the ballot.
This is particularly important
since the Communist Party with
three Negroes candidates is the only
party in Wisconsin running Negroes
for important political office.
The La Toilette group as a re-
suit of its victory in the primaries
over the "Old Guard" Republicans,
more openly shows its capitalist face
and at its recent convention unites
with the most reactionary agents of
big business, while still using pro-
gressive phrases to mislead the mas
ses.
At the same time the socialist
party at its convention states that
large socialist vote will keep the
progressives progressing. (That's
right-progressing into fascism for
the interests of the bosses and bank
ers.-Ed.) and also continues its
use of radical phrases to hide its
more open alliance with the big bos-
ses of Milwaukee.
The Communist Party will in
crease its number of street meetings
in the next few weeks in Milwaukee
and out of town. The Unemployed
Councils and l. L. D. will also hold
campaign rallies on the streets.
Shop gate meetings will also be in
creased with more organizational re-
suits stressed because the major
task in the campaign is to build the
revolutionary organizations in the
big metal war plants in Milwaukee
and other cities.

planning on two big "Red Satur-
