Denouncing the deliberate muir
der of Mike Filipovich at Arnold
City, Tuesday, following the shoot
ing on miners. at Wildwood the day
previously, j. Louis Engdahl, general
secretary of the International Labor
Defense, made public affidavits yes
terday from miners and sylnpa-
thizers who were the targets of dep
uty sheriff's guns.
One of these afhdavits was from
Mary Pilipovich, widow Of the slain
storekeeper who had shown his SYM
pathy for the mine strikers. Mrs.
Filipovich declared that tear gas
was set off in the midst of the mine
strike pickets "and before the gas
was dispelled began firing toward the
house, on the porch of which her
husband was standing. and at nine
pickets assembled nearby; that Dep
uty Roy Ingram fired several shots
directly at her husband; that she
knew said Ingram because he had
traded at her store; that she was
standing in the doorway at the time
the shooting took place; that when
her husband fell Ingram stopped
shooting for the moment; that In
gram was using gun that rested up
against his arm or shoulder, while
all the other deputies and police
whom she saw shooting were using
revolvers; that her husband died al
most instantly"
Walter Dudak, mine picket, in an
affidavit, declared that while not a
single striker even hurled rock at
the deputized gunner, Mine Super
intendent Ferguson had threatened
the pickets with, "I'll get you one
at time" and that after the tear
gas bombs had been thrown Fer
guson had yelled: shoot the sons
o. bitches"
Joseph Kuklar testified that he
was fired at by Deputy Ted Hunt
and named Policeman Yoder and
Deputy Roy Ingram as those who
fired toward Mike Filipovich's store.
Frank Brazen also testifies that he
was in the picket line before Mike
Filipovich's store and identified the
coal and iron policeman, Jack Yoder,
and the Deputy Sheriff Roy Ingram
as those who shot point blank into
the crowd Of pickets. He declared
that Deputy Ted Hunt shot at him.
chasing him around the building like
hunted animal. Brazen pointed
out that all the mine pickets were
unarmed.

With the aid of the prison warden,
some weakened preachers from
Chattanooga and police spy, they
sought to coerce and intlmidate the
boys into disregarding the wishes Of
their parents. For to these "uplift-

the boys and their parents were 'too
ignorant" to know what's good for
them. So, although. rebuffed by the
boys and their parents the N.A.A.C.P.

Their Job to Save White Supremacy
The NAA.C.P. had a job of saving
to do. And from this they would not
be diverted even by the indignant de-
nunciation Of the boys and their par
ents. The job was not the saving of
the boys, but the saving of the bru-
tai system of white supremacy"
which is threatened by the growing
mass movement against this hideous
crime against the Negro People, by
the fighting alliance of white and
Negro workers that is being forged
against the imperialist oppressors Of
Negro and white workers. And to

ty, the N.A.A.CP. leaders persisted
and still persist, in their attempts to
foist this klansman on the boys.
Thought Parents Too Ignorant to
Choose Their Own Defense.
They sought to override the OBJ
jections of the boys and their par
ents to Roddy. They sought to over
ride the choice by the parents of the
attorneys Of the LID. and the LIS.
Mr.. to defend their children. Told
by the parents that If they really
wished to help, they must cooperate
with the I. L. D. and the L.S.NR.
they centered their efforts on the

$40, 100000 less than a year ago,
when the value was 500, GIG, 900.
Values of all kinds of livestock de-
creased during the year.
Cattle and Calves-The number of
all cattle and calves has been esti-
mated to be the same as year ago,

The report of Maryland Commits
sion on Higher Education has been
submitted to Governor Albert C.
Richie. The Commission was pro-
vided for under an Act of the Legisla-
ture OF 1929, to report to the Cover
nor and General Assembly of 1881 its
recommendations relative to what
should be the future policy of the
State in the field of higher education,
and to formulate program for carry
ing out and financing such policies.
The Commission was particularly
directed to investigate the present
and future needs of the University
OF Maryland and the extent to which
the same should be met from State
funds and to give special considera-
ton to the relationship between the
University of Maryland and the Uni
versity Hospital, and the States
policy, financial and otherwise to-
wards such hospital.
The Commission was also request.
ed to investigate the present and
future needs of all colleges and in.
situations for higher education which
receive State aid, and recommend
what it considers should be the re-
lationship between each one of these
and the State.
Starting with the pupils registered
in the elementary schools of the
City of Baltimore and the counties,
the report indicates the progress OF
the pupils through the high schools
and normal schoole of the State and,
estimating that about Is to 20 per
cent of the graduates from the high
schools are candidates for college
entrance, places the number of pros
pective candidates for higher edu-
cation at approximately $50 annually,
this, without taking into account the
students era iuating from the various
institutions and privately conducted
schools.

i Measures to meet conditions caus-
ed by the drouth, a five year pro-
gram for the agriculture of the state
and various phases of adult education
formed the main subjects for discus
sion at the sixteenth annual confer
ence of Extension workers, which
was held at the University of Mary
land from January Goth to 23rd.
The meetings were attended by ap-
proximately rs specialists and county
and home demonstration agents
from all counties in the State.
Marylanders are not in a position,
nor have they sustained the losses
that are apparent in some other sec
tons of the United States, it was
stated by DR.. T. B. Symons, Direc-
tors of the University Extension
Service, in an address before the
group.
BY virtue of the States geographic
7 position, diversification of products
and proximity to markets, conditions
have been greatly ameliorated, he
said, and the dairy and poultry in
dustries deserve a great deal OF
praise for their part in sustaining
the people of the State during the
past year.
DR.. Symons urged the farmers OF
Maryland to seriously consider those
crops in which they can most success.
fully compete with other sections Of
the United States, especially the pro.
duction of crops for human consump-
ton. In order to stimulate progress
in that direction he suggested the
construction and adoption of a five
year pIogram for Maryland agricul-
ture, to be worked out as soon as
possible.

ALMSHOUSE CONFERENCE

Gov. Richie has announced East
ern Shore Senators and those repre-
senting the fourteen counties regard
ed as the Western Shore would be
called into conference in separate
groups in an effort to formulate a
State policy with regard to the'alms-
house questions.
/ Commissions appointed to study
the almshouse situation in recent re-
ports have recommend the construc-
ton of centrally located almshouses.
The Eastern Shore Commission rec
commended that one be built to take
care of that locality in any of the nine
Shore counties and the commission
which investigated the Western
Shore almshouses recommended the
construction of another on west side
of the bay to care for the INDECENT
and aged of the other fourteen coun-
ties.
In making the announcement, the
Governor said the problem of caring
for such dependents, in mind, was
not at this time proper State func-
ton, although it may prove to be so
in the future. AS he sees it, he said,
the meeting of the needs of persons
who become dependent through age
and infirmities is properly a matter
for the counties to handle.
The question the Senators will be
asked to decide is whether the State
should proceed with the erection of
two centrally located homes for the
INDECENT, or one to take care Of the
whole State, or whether plan for
State aid of counties in taking care
of the problem and a program for
correction of the reported undesir-
able conditions in the present county
almshouses should be adopted.

State Senator Wallace Williams, OF
Cecil county is oppose.-.to the cash
bonus plan for World War veterans.
Senator Williams says: E3"There
has been introduced in the House Of
Delegates a measure memorialiZine

the immediate cash payment of the
World War veterans adjusted com
pensation insurance certificates at
their 1914 maturity value.
"The Legion, though its govern
ing body, the national convention,
went on record as indorsing abso-
lutely the principle that the paid-up
insurance policies as granted finally
were all that it would ever ask for
the ablebodied veteran, and that the
Legion always would oppose any
further general grant of bonuses or
any scheme of general pensions.
Il have studied the recent action
OF the Legion's national executive
committee. 1t endeavors to evade
this issue, which must be squarely
faced. The Legion connot honor
ably reverse policy and principle
which it has upheld for nine years
and which it has promised the nation
to continue.

COMMUNICATION
Editor, The Gateway.


 Dear Sir:
 Your editorial on the subject of revenue derived from the sale of the fur seal skins from the Prib- ilof Islands, in the issue of June 26, 1881, gives the general reader wrong impression, in that there has been no revenue from the sale of seal pelts since about 1925.
 When Herb Hoover was Secre- tary of Commerce he so misman- aged the seal herds that there has been heavy annual loss, and about which he issued grossly un- truthful statements to the public.
 In 1925 Secretary Hoover sold 25,395 fur seal skins for $713,- 276.28. But it cost the government $71S,225.29 to take and dispose of these skins. Thus MT. Hoover &C., tually cost the government $5,- 900 in round numbers more than he got for them.
 Not only did the government lose $719,000 in round numbers, but about $5,000 additional (See page 178, Secretary's report.)
 Hoover's juggling of figures in his report as so much revenue de- rived for the public treasury ac- tually so fooled the new Governor of Alaska, that in his first annual report for 1925, makes the follow ing absurd request:
 "The revenue derived from the sale of seal skins for 1925 was more than $7OO.OOO; at least 50 per cent 0: this should be allotted to the Territory"
 Little did George Parks know of the truth in the report, and has been trying hard ever since to for get he made so foolish a request for some of "Hoover,s seal skin revenues.
 If Judge Wickersham wants to tie into this he has his work cut out. Will he also please remem- Der that the sea otter has been private graft of the Bureau of Fisheries for a quarter of cen tury? The Eskimos tell me that they have increased until they are as thick as lice in Egypt now.
