Refusal to submit to the leader

refusal to continue in the Party,
is equal to the destruction of the
Party; this is not means of con-
vincing but a means of destruc-

shows the absence of consistency

the role of negotiator for naval in
creases for the next war.
This same Stimson, bred in Wall
Street.. nurtured on the imperialist
battle field in the World War,
schooled in the intrigues of finance
capital in Nicaragua and the Phi
lippines, colossal failure in his at
tempt to invoke the Kellogg pact as
war threat against the Soviet I'm
ion, now strips himself of his comic
opera peace angel wings and re-
veals himself as the chief intsru-
ment of U. S. capitalism in its
sharpened struggle for naval war
ornaments.
The precipitating world crisis
of capitalism makes the war dan
ger living reality. World CAPT.
talism is fast moving towards
war. The London race-for-arma-
ments conference expresses the
war fever that is agitating the
imperialist powers.
Five nations are to meet in Lon
don, each desiring to limit the naval
strength of each other, while build
ing its own to that point which will
give it an advantage in the intensi-
fled battle for world markets and
radixy;eio,, IF co1ories
Anglo-American Rivalry Growing.
The two foremost powers at the
conference, Great Britain and the
United States, while attempting
with might and main to mislead the
masses into the belief that there is
semblance of agreement, are IN
reality rent with insoluble, sharp
contradictions and rivalries.
These rivalries, contradictions and
antagonisms, fundamental and
sharp as they were when Ramsay
Macdonald met Hoover at Rapidan
in the guise of friendly emmisary,
have during the past few months
heightened many fold.
Great Britain has the lead in mod
ern cruisers. The United States,
smelling war in the air, in order to
press it's imperialist ambitions,
begins a cruiser building campaign
Realizing that in an open race 1t
will be outdone, British imperialism
through it's flunkey Ramsay Mac
Donald breaches the question OF
parity. That is, they offer to come
to an agreement permitting the U.
S. to build certain number OF
cruisers which will place it on an
equal plane with Great Britain. Nc
one is fooled by this. There is the
question of war alliances; the
grouping of the powers in battle ar
ray against one another.
Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
Great Britain and Japan are re-
newing their alliance directed
against U. S. imperialism in the
Pacific. Italy leans towards British
imperialism, and the French, not
satisfied with the alliances or naval
increases offered it, threatens to
smash the conference entirely. The
French imperialists in their state
ment preliminary to the naval-race
meet put the issue very clearly
They demand navy for themselves
large enough to "protect the French
empire" They want the Kellogg
pact dressed in a suit OF mail armor
They want more submarines to har-
rass the trade of the larger impe-
rialist powers In tho next worlc

Officials A band d o n Practically All Hope For Workers - Coal Damp So Thick That Efforts to Reach Low CT Levels Fail.
Four Bodies Seen on 16th Level-Experts Estimate It Will Take Crew of Six Five Hours to Carry One Body From Lower Level to Open Air.

McAlester. Okla, Oct. 2S P)- Gas today drove rescue workers from the lower levels of the Wheat ley No. coal mine, tomb of 2S miners since an explosion last night, and officials virtually abandoned hope that any of the trapped men would be found alive.
 One man was killed at the head of the mine by the blast. Bodies of four trapped miners were sighted on the 18th level.
 Several rescue workers were overcome by the gas, known as coal damp and one, John Moore, was carried from the mine.
 Damp Drives Men Back
 The damp sent rescuers-num- bering about 50-back to the 10th level of the mine where ventilation was good. Efforts were being made to obtain brattice cloth to curtain off mine entries and aid ventila- ton lower down.
 Workers estimated it would re- quire six men five hours to carry one body from the lower levels, because of the mass of debris to be tra- Nersed.
 Miller D. Hay chief mine inspec- tor, who entered the workings on his arrival early today from Ada, Okla, was authority for the state ment there was little hope for the men trapped in the 18th, 17th and Nth levels.

Governor Says New Superintendent and Board Making Honest
 Effort at Place.

Hartford, Oct. 2S Ex-Governor Trumbull is we'll satisfied with the progress made thus far in the re- organization of the Connecticut School for Boys at Meriden, and be- lieves that the school has now taken it's place with the other institutions of the state.
 It was Governor Trumbull who, following a report made to him by a special Investigating committee on conditions at the school, demanded a complete reorganization to the end that unsatisfactory conditions at the school, both with respect to al legged acts of cruelty and lack of proper care for the boys, might be eliminated
 "The commission has, I believe, earnestly set about correcting con- ditions at the school" said the gov ernor. The new superintendent. Roy l.. Mclaughlin, seems to be making good progress in improving conditions there, and I am confident the school will soon take it's place in the list of progressive state institu- tions."

Wife Refuses to Tell Police Any
 Details of Request for Ransom

Galva, Ill, Oct 2S (Pl-The fate of Earl Yocum, kidnapped banker, rested today in the hands of his hands of his wife.
 Mrs. Yocum announced that she had called off all outside help in the search for her husband, who dis appeared Saturday, and that she was handling the matter herself.' She termed speculation that her husband was held in Chicago for S50,000 as "all guess work" and added that no one, except herself, had any knowledge of the supposed ransom demand.
 County authorities abandoned their hunt for Yocum when Mrs. Yocum declined to take them into her confidence. Two special delivery letters have been received by Mrs. Yocum, one from Kewanee, H., and the other from Chicago. Both are reported to have dealt with the ransom question.

ALL-DAY LEGAL BATTLE
 CARRIED ON BY DEFENSE
Witnesses Tell of Finding Sweaty and Decomposed Meat in Main Street Store-Counsel for Defense Claims No Evidence 1t Was Offer- ed for Sale-Judgc Saxe Denies Discharge.

After an all day legal battle which drew a large gathering of spectators Judge Morris D. Saxe to- day reserved decision until Saturday in the case of the Strauss Roth meat market, which had been charged with offering for sale meat unfit for consumption. The defense re-opened the case this afternoon after a recess for luncheon by mak- ing motion for a discharge. This was opposed by Prosecuting Attor- ney Joseph G. Woods. He based his argument on the assumption that the disposition of the case must be made in accordance with the at- titude taken by the state in conduct ing the case as contained in Section ? of Article 6S of the city ordi- nances.
 Attorneys A. A. Greenberg and David L. Nair argued against this line Of reasoning, stating that the section only allowed broad towers oi condemnation to the health de- partment. In stating his attitude on the case to the court, Judge Sake said it would be necessary for him to read over the section of the city ordinance to try to discover if that ordinance allowed only the powers of condemnation and If he found that they imposed penalties or gave the power to impose penalties, that he would have to consider whether the finding of unfit hamburg steak would constitute evidence of having l. on display and for sale.

 The case was called at this morn ings session of police court and the entire period of the morning from
 eo'clock until recess was ordered at noon was taken up with the pre- sentation of the testimony of the state.
 The case was the outcome of sev- cral allegations on the part of mem bers of the staff of the local board of health that meat allegedly unfit for human consumption was found in the store and was kept there for

The apparent anxiety of the To- cum family to drop the Investigation was viewed with apprehension by officers of the Illinois Bankers as- sociation. They expressed belief that if an eXtortion gang obtained easy money" from Yocum that other small town bankers would become the constant prey of kidnappers.
 With no cooperation from Mrs. Yocum we can do little now" A. P. Sherwood. of Chicago, secretary of the Bankers association, was quoted as saying. He added that just as soon as Yocum is released we are going into action"
 The criminal department of the association revealed at the same time that it has been conducting a quiet investigation of the recent kid napings of William Urban and Frank Daugherty, both of Peoria, and also of a Des Moines, Iowa, cigar store owner.

DORIAN WARNS PUBLIC
 OF LIQUOR DANGERS
Less Good Alcohol Avail able, Hence More Bad
 Whiskey

Washington, Oct. cS (uP)-Citi- Halloween and the other coming holidays hilariously were warned to- day by Industrial Alcohol Commits sioner James M. Doran to beware or the poor quality of liquor being placed on the market this year.
 "The federal government has re- duced diversion of alcohol from in- dustrial sources to a minimum of about per cent of the 100000 gall Ions manufactured annually" Dor an said.
 "Bootleggers, therefore, are forc- cd to rely on their own distilleries for their main source of supply. Not long ago, group of bootleggers foisted on the south a drink in the guise of Jamaica ginger that caused widespread paralysis and some deaths.
 T have just had a report from Newark, N. J., where 20 persons have recently died from drinking bad liquor. An analysis made dur ing post -mortems has disclosed that wood alcohol was the cause of death."
 Wood alcohol is unregulatcd be- cause it is not liquid fit for bev- craze purposes, but is sold to deal CTS plainly marked as poison. Nevertheless, some bootleggers, un- able to obtain good alcohol. have mixed wood alcohol with their pro- duct.
 Government denaturing formulae while containing small amounts of wood alcohol in the case of two de- naturants were held by Doran not likely to be a lethal dose because the noxious taste warns a drinker that he is consuming liquid not intended for beverage purposes. Exacting regulations to prevent diversion of industrial alcohol are enforced by the industrial alcohol bureau. which has watchers and gaugers in every industrial alcohol plant in the country.

He said his strength was gradually re- turning and he was encouraged by the progress noted by his physi- clans, but he would not risk re- lapse or even the slightest unfavor- able reaction by going on the stump.

TEACHERS CONTRIBUTE
 ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS
Help Mayors Christmas Fund But Little, Treas
 urer Ginns Says

A very small percentage of what would have been received had the teachers accepted Mayor George A. Quigley's salary contribution to the Christmas fund has been received so far. Treasurer James H. Ginns has announced. The teachers are giving according to their own de- sires rather than through the vol untary deduction of two per cent of their salary as Mayor Quigley ad- yocated.
 Although three weeks have pass ed, many of the teachers have not contributed. There. are about three weeks more before the final date for collection, November 21. The No- vember pay checks will become due on that date and it is expected that many of the contributions will be made then.
 The money will be used to aid needy families during the depres- sion. All other city employees are contributing two per cent of their salaries for September, October, and November.
