Nine High Explosives Found in
 Raid- Warfare Flares
MORE OUTBREAKS FEARED
Brooklyn Raid Nets Men-Deaths In New York and Boston Laid to New Feud Among OrientaIs of Two Societies.

New York, July 31 UP)-Nine bombs, containing enough nitro glycerine to blow up city block, were found by police in a rooming house of the Brooklyn Chinese quarter today, and seven Chinese, believed to be connected with a tong war that blazed out in New Works Chinatown last night, were arrested.
 In addition to the bombs, which were of the sugar bowl' type. filled with black powder, glass and steel, and connected by long fuse, the police conhscated three revol- vers.
 The raid was the result of in- creased activity by the police fol- lowing the killing of one Chinese in New York and another in Bos- ton, in what is believed to be the forerunner of warfare over snug gled opium.
 Chinese Acts Suspiciously
 The suspicious actions of a Chi nese riding in a taxicab attracted the attention of two patrolmen, who trailed the man to furnished room, where they found the bombs. h. formation obtained from three men arrested led to another raid at second house. where four more sus- poets were arrested.
 Among those held by the police are Hen Yung Ing, SS. graduate of Northwestern university and practicing physician, and his broth CT, Hen Kong Ing, a student at Whitaker college, California. Dr. Ing gave his permanent address as 47 Mott street, Manhattan. which is near the scene of last nights shoot ings. in which one man was killed and another seriously wounded.

St. Hubert Airport, Montreal. Que, July 31 tPD-The R-100 slowly ap- preached the end of it's flight from England today, it's arrival delayed by choice or necessity until shortly before dark tonight.
 Progress of the dirigible, the greatest ever to rise against the sky over the ocean and down Belle Is- land Strait had justified a general and even official belief that the R-100 would get in about 4 D. n., but at noon today a relayed wireless from the ship itself announced that arrival would be at o'clock, F. s. T.
 No Reason For Delay
 No reason was given for the de- lay, but it was not believed that it was caused by adverse weather or any enforced slowing up of the dirigible's six great engines. Rather it was believed the officers in con- mand had decided that atmospheric conditions would be better close to dusk than in the heat of the after noon sun.
 Sun heat has the effect on hydro gen, which is the lifting gas of the R-100, of enormously increasing buoyancy. and it was thought the R-100 officers had decided on a de- layed landing to avoid the necessity of valving off valuable gas to effect a landing in the full heat of mid afternoon.
 Field is Excellent
 St. Hubert is an excellent field large and with all modern facilities, but it is strange field to most Of the men on the R-10O, and 1t was plausible that these men preferred to take no chance merely for the purpose of making a slightly better time record.
 The mooring mast is, according to officers at the field, the last word in modernity and efficiency, but it has never yet been used in an actual mooring operation.

 Low river levels have handicap ped naval forces in their efforts to aid foreigners.
 Only gunboats, mounting three Inch guns, are able to reach Chang ssha, but with the decrease of water even these must wait for rises be- fore they can maneuver sufficiently, naval offers said today.

PRAISE COP FOR
KILLING NEGRO
Chicago CorOner's Jury
Justifies Murder

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Chicago po-
lice. following the universal police
custom of embarrassing their murder
of workers, are attempting to justify
the killing of Mitchell Gray, Negro
unemployed worker, with the lie that
he was shot in the act of stealing
lead pipe from vacant building at
2943 Indiana avenue. Gray was muir
dered by a Negro policeman on the
night of Saturday, September 20.
Investigation by Sol Harper, a rep
resentative of the Crusader News
Agency, absolutely discounts the po-
lice statement, bringing out the fact
that no tools were found on the per-
son of the murdered worker capable
of cutting the lead piping. Moreover,
no pipes had been cut. The building
at 2943 Indiana avenue, in which
Gray was murdered, was often used
by unemployed workers for sleeping
purposes and as giving access to a
lavatory, Harper reports.
AS usual, the police murderers are
supported in their vicious attacks on
the working class by the city officials.
The coroner's jury, after a farcical
investigation. brought in a verdict of
''justif1able homicide" and warmly
commended the policeman for his
zeal in protecting the property of the
bosses.
In support of the police attacks on
the Negro workers, the Chicago Whip,
a paper of the Negro petty bourgeoi-
sic, carries the police lie in it's en-
tirety.
In the meantime, the workers of
Chicago, thoroughly aroused by this
latest outrage, are preparing big
mass demonstration and parade on
Tuesday at the funeral of Gray. Ed
ward Gray, the dead workers brother,
arrived in this city today, coming
from Texas, where John Hughes and
several other Negro workers have
been lynched this year. Gray's
mother is expected here tomorrow.
Police are placing every obstacle
in the arrangements for a mass
funeral for their victim, but the
workers will gather at Odd Fellows
Home on Tuesday morning to attend
the funeral, and from there will
parade to City Hall to protest this
latest police murder and to demand
social insurance for the thousands of
jobless workers in Chicago. The
parade will go by the building on In
diana Avenue in which Gray was
murdered.

MOORE TO TOUR
N. ]. CENTERS
To Acquaint Masses with
CP Program

NEWARK, Sept. 2s.-Fresh from a
successful tour of New York State,
Richard B. Moore, Negro Communist
orator of New York City, will soon
begin tour of the principal cities
of New Jersey to speak for the Com
munist candidates in the coming
election. Capable, intelligent and
fearless, Moore will clearly outline
the role of the Communist Party in
this election campaign and wage a
determined fight for its complete
program,
The Communist Party is known
for it's determined stand for the
Negro Masses, for its fights against
lynchings and Jim Crowism and its
platform demands full social, poll
teal and economic equality for this
exploited section of the working
class. Besides Moore, who is the
party's candidate for Attorney Gen.
eral in New York State, many Negro
candidates are to be found on the
Communist Party ticket in all states.
In New Jersey the candidate opposed
to the party of Wall Street, Dwight
w. Morrow, and the demagogue
Simpson of the Hague machine of
Democrats for U. S. Senator, is the
Negro worker, Dozier w. Graham.
Graham will speak at some of the
Moore meetings, where both black
and white workers will hear their
needs outlined. The first three meet
ings for Moore together with other
speakers are as follows:-
