Throw Hot Tar on
Commodore Laundry
Strikers Pickets

NEW YORK. The strike at the
Commodore Laundry is now ending
its fourth week, and is strong as
ever. During the last ten days, the
bosses, driven to desperation, have
resorted to every sort of tactic to
stop picketing and break the strike.
Herman Kramer, a leader at this
shop, and already held on two frame
up charges had a bucket of hot tar
thrown at him from the roof of the
laundry while he was on the picket
line. He was severely burned.
The same detectives who refused
to arrest the men throwing the tar
on Kramer came later with the boss
to union headquarters and arrested
Joseph Stillman, organizer of the
Laundry Workers Industrial Union,
on trumped charge of felenious
assault. Eleven strikers are now
under arrest, and total bail is $4,000.

Relief Badly Needed

BRIDGEPORT, Ohio June 19.--
An open move on the part of the
United Mine Workers of America
officials to sell out the strike of the
20, 900 East Ohio coal miners was
made thursday when John Cinque
president of sub-district 6 of the
UM.W.A,. spoke at mass meeting
of strikers of three Rail and River
Coal Co. mines at Bellaire, Ohio. and
urged the miners to go back to work
with IL per cent wage cut.
Cinque added that the Rail g. River
Coal Co demands still greater cut
and indicated that further back
sairs, secret maneuvering is taking
place between the operators and the
UM.W.A. ofaciais. leading to still
more wage cuts.
The miners had been getting 81 a
day and As cents q ton before the
strike. and Cirque proposes now $3.50
day and 40 cents ton.
hEtuSE ~ 1o AobSAs
The strikers have thus far refused
to heed the strikbreaking advice
of Cinque, they say they did not
strike for a wage cut.
The National Miners Union is is
suing leaflet to the Rail s. River
strikers urging them to refuse to go
back with a wage cut, and offering
to help build a United Front Rank
and File Strike Committee to carry
their struggle to victory.
The United Mine Workers officials
have called mass meeting of Rail
& River strikers to discuss the sit
uation" and have invited leading bus
mess men to participate il the meet
ing and urge the miners to go ba Tx
to work
The operators announce daily
through the press that more mines
are reopenfng, but so far the miners,
by militant mass pieketing in viola
ton of the orders given them by
their u M w. A, officials, have kept
out all but few score of scabs,

Stetsky, Enemy of
Fur Workers, Kills
Himself Over Crisis

NEW YORK. - Charles Stetsky,
former manager Of the New York
Joint board of the International Fur
Workers Union, killed himself with
gas yesterday. He was the man who
put through the attacks against the
left wing workers in the fur trades
in some of their greatest struggles.
Ststsky's reason for leaving q
world where the employers pay well
for such services, seems to be that
he was about to lose the window

when other equally able enemies Of
the fur workers began to do the work

of little aid, but he won the
fight and arrested one man. H.

in the scout car, likewise arrested
man and the policemen seized
a gallon of whisky. The men
gave their names as George w.

Backyard of D. c."

The Public Utilities Commits
sion was accused today of using
the Northeast section as" the
backyard of Washington" in
the quest for a site of a gas
holder for the Washington Gas
Light Company.
The accusation was made by
William M. Deviny, of the Michi-
gan Park Citizens Association.
and brought storm of applause
from scores of persons in at
tendance at the commissions
hearing on the company's petition
for site.
Riggs Road Site
The petition of the company

W|NBLEY J URY
OUT NEARLY
"a HOURS
No Compromise Wanted; He
States Court Should Have
Instructed the Jury

I'm my opinion, the court
should have instructed the
jury to bring in either a
verdict of first degree muir
der or one of acquittal."
These were the words of Harry
C. Wimbley, who. with John M.
Crowder is awaiting the verdict
of jury who heard the testi-
mony of a first degree murder
trial against them in connection
with the drowning of Wimbley's
wife last September II.
The jury of IL men had been
out 21 hours when Wimbley made
the remarks.
Expect Acquittal
The IL men in whose hands his
life or death rests are locked in
room directly over that occu-
pied by Wimbley and Crowder,
with windows opening into a
court.
Wimbley and Crowder today
were in excellent spirits and ap-
parently expect the verdict in
their favor.
Said Wimbley:
"If I was low enough to take
an innocent woman and child
up that canal and drown them,
1 should be sent to the electric
chair.
IF 1 didn't do that, should
be acquitted. There is no
ground for compromise"
Wimbleys wife, Mrs. Elizabeth
Wimbley, and her daughter by a
former marriage, Wilma Tray
lor, 3, were drowned last Septem-
ber in the c. and O. Canal
during canoe-fiShing party III
celebration of the attractive
young woman's twenty-sixth
birthday anniversary.
Blamed on Insurance
The Government, represented
by William H. Collins and John
Sirica contends that the two de-
PENDANTS deliberately upset the
canoe and accomplished the
drowning in order to collect a
$4,000 insurance policy on Mrs.
Wimbley.
The defense, represented by At
torneys Louis L. Whitestone and
Cedric johnson, have maintained
throughout the long trial that
the drowning was purely acciden-
tai and that the case against the
two defendants was inspired by
insurance men who sought to
evade payment on the policy
taken out by Wimbley.
