Offensive is progressing. It
is not progressing as fast as it
could with a little better or
ganization and better mobiliza-
ton, but some gains are re-
corded.
Vesta Coal Co. Mine No. has been
closed down. The company made a
bluff Of closing down for week"
but the picket line has been growing
day by day, the number Of scabs in
the mine decreasing day by day, and
the mine for the last few days was
made very Improbable by reason Of
reduced forces. 1t was really shut
down by the picket lines, and If 1t
tries again to reopen, the same picket
lines will shut 1t down again
Exactly the same thing has hap
pened to the Crescent mine of the
Pittsburgh Coal Co Bigger picket
lines every day, fewer men In the
mine, and the company closed it "for
week"
Crescent mine was hard nut to
crack, for it is completely surround
ed by company ground, and the single
place the pickets could meet near by
without arrest for tresspassing was
owned by a farmer who got scared
and ordered them off after a few
days picketing. Nethertheless, the
pickets filtered through the woods,
climbed trees and argued with the
scabs from the tree tops, and also
adopted other new tactics. They
stopped hundred at one time on the
road to the mine, and rs stayed in
the patch and didn't go even on the
road.
Vesta Coal Co Mine No. Is crack
ing too. The picket lines grow daily,
and it Is nearly down to the point
where the other mines threw up the
sponge.
Picketing, stopped for a day or two
by the terror, is resumed at Harrnar'
vile. This mine was practically
closed by loss of men to work In it
before the campaign Of arrests, shoot
ing and tear gassing started last
week, and it will soon be back to
that point. Meanwhile the Harmar-
vile pickets have taken a turn or
two st the Curtisville mines, which
never were on strike, and there Is a
good prospect to bring them out.
The strike committee took notice
of the new tactics of the strike break
ing United Mine Workers Of America.
This outfit has about given up hope
Of holding big open mass meetings
with Pagan and other takers pres
ent. These meetings are only pos
sible with such a display of clubs
and guns, of deputies and state troop
ers, that anybody can see the meet
ing Is fake. Instead the UNIV now
concentrates on quiet bribery either
with money or relief" In the Glib
son mine, a group which began with
accepting UNIV relief" ended with
scabbing and the declaration Of the
NIU that UNIV relief is poison, y
is justified. Along with the poisoned
relief goes a poison gas campaign By
the UNIV local leaders, the capitalist
press and the operators henchmen
everywhere, that the leadership OF
the present strike is opposed to
settlements" and "only wants to plant
red flag on every tipple."
Frank Borich, secretary Of the Ma
tional Miners Union, in his keynote
speech to the melting Of the strike
committee today, explained with adj
mirable clarity the position Of the
NAdU on this point.

MOBILES RESCUER
DIES OF INJURIES

When Plane Falls During
Test.
BY the. Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, January 28.-Death
yesterday closed the adventurous career
of Capt. Elnar-Paal Landborg, Swedish
airman, who rescued Gen. Umberto
Mobile after the destruction of the
airship Italia on an ice foe in the
Arctic
He died last evening from injuries
suffered few hours before in the crash
Of plane he was testing at Malmslaett
Flying Field for the Swedish govern
ment. Although both arms and legs
were fractured in the accident, 1t was
expected that his strong constitution
would pull him through. A relapse
came, however, and he sank rapidly.
Capt. Lundborg had many adventures
and served as a soldier under four
flags, but his major achievement was
the rescue of Gen. Mobile.
He was q member of the Swedish
rescue expedition, and on the night of
June "a, 1923, set out in a Fokker
machine to seek the survivors of the
Italia disaster He managed to land
his machine, an exceptionally difficult
task under the wind and ice condi-
tons prevailing. took the Italian COM
mander on board and returned to his
base safely.
Later when he returned to the Italia
foe to rescue the remaining survivors
his plane upset on landing and he was
| rnarooned with them foIk IL days. A
brother officer, Lieut.. Bi8ker Schyberg
finally took him to safety IN small
machine.

WICKERSHAM GROUP
ASKED FOR EVIDENCE
Findings Should Be Disclosed to
Senate, Tydings Holds in
Making Protest.

Senator Tydings, Democrat, Mary
land, has asked the wickersham Law
Enforcement Commission for the evil
dence upon which 1t based its findings.
He introduced a resolution requesting
the commission to turn over to the
Senate, the testimony 1t took at hear
ings on the inquiry, together with the
reports of its investigators.
The resolution which went over for
future consideration based the claim
for the testimony on the ground that
the commission had recommended
certain legislation and therefore
Congress had right to the evidence
on which the recommendation was
made
Chairman Norris of the Judiciary
Committee, who opposed the attempt
Of Senator Tydings to investigate the
commission has declared himself in
favor of the resolution seeking the
testimony.
The commission held its prohibition
hearings in secret. It would be excused
by Tydings from transmitting any
testimony which was given under pledge
of secrecy.

SUBSIDIES QUICKLY

Quarrel of Tennesseean and

A dispute which developed between
two Senators in the Appropriations

ly as it arose and was soon forgotten.
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee and
Senator Morrison of North Carolina

A comment by one or the other didn't
sound just right and in a flash each
was on his feet and leaning across the
expansive committee table

Senator Mcclellan. Senator Harris of
Georgia interviewed on the other side of

CONFEREES TANGLE
! ON MUSCLE SHOALS
Little Prospect for Action on
Legislation Seen at Pres
ent Session.

There seemed little prospect today
OF action at this session of Congress
On Muscle Shoals legislation due to the
failure of conferees to reach an agree
ment.
Failure of the legislation was openly
predicted by Senator Norris, Republic
can, Nebraska, author of the Senate
bill for Government operation of $780,
600, 900 power and nitrate plants.
Chairman McNary of the Senate
conferees also was dubious over the
possibility of an agreement. The con-
ference broke up with no provision
for a future meeting unless called by
McNary. He said he would not call
another session unless there Is change
In the situation.
House conferees proposed reporting
disagreement, with view to obtain
ing new votes in the two houses, but
McNary opposed this because it might
contribute to forcing an extra session
after March A.
THE bill will quite likely remain in
conference until next session. McNary
said
House conferees blamed the Senate
for the deadlock, declaring the Senate
conferees refused to compromise.
Representative Reese, Republican,
Tennessee, one Of the House conferees,
said in a statement after the con-
ference the disagreement was due to
persistent refusal of Senate conferees
to consider the House compromise pro-
posal or any other proposal which has
any possibility of operating nitrate
plants for fertilizer production"

The mother escaped, badly burned,

The fire was discovered by rail-
road engineer when his train passed
the house. He blew the engine whistle
in an effort to arouse the family, and
then continued to Trout Run, a short
distance north, and reported it. Just
as help reached the burning house, Mrs.
Smith, with the infant in her arms,
stumbled from the front door. The
son, Howard, aged 8, was with her. The
mothers night clothing was burned
from her body and the baby was also
burned. Both are in serious condt-
ton. The son, Howard. was nearly
overcome by smoke, but escaped injury
from the flames.
The fire is believed to have been
started from an overheated fiue in the
kitchen.

.JOBLESS FIGURES
SHOW DISCREPANCY
President Green Declares
Unemployed Increased
in January.

Mounting unemployment throughout
the United States, as revealed today by
william Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, shows wide
discre Ancy between the figures of the
labor federation and those of the Pres
ident's Emergency Committee for En-
ployment. Mr.. Green estimated today
that 100000 wage earners were idle
early in January, as compared with
5.500,000 in December. A few days ago
Col. Arthur Woods chairman of the
Presidents committee, estimated the
unemployed at between 100000 and
100000 The figures of the labor fed
Grafton did not include farm labor or
Office workers.
At the same time. Mr.. Green warned
against employers dropping completely
wage earners who have been given part
time employment. Now is no time to
abandon this barrier against depression
forces" he said. Mr.. Green attributed
the increase in unemployment largely
to complete iayoffs. instead of part-time
work, particularly in the garment, metal
and other manufacturing industries, and
in building
This decrease in part-time work and
increase of unemployment" he said,
sounds warning to the American
business world. When a man has part
time work he at least has credit and
money for bread. He has a job, and
that is about the most important thing
in the world for a wage Garner.
Industrial recovery is starting, COM
petent observers tell us, and the Spring
season just ahead is the best time for
advance. We cannot afford to have it
checked as it was last year by increas-
ing unemployment and reduced buying
power Efforts to keep men on the pay
roll and give relief work should be re-
doubled now when the need Is greatest
and when workers buying will count
most in stimulating trade"
Green said figures showed the in
crease in unemployment from December
to January of this year was larger than
usual, and in November and December
the number laid off also was larger.
This does not mean that business is
suddenly worse" he said But it does
indicate a dangerous trend which, If 1t
continues, will retard business recovery"
