BETTER THAT WAY

NEW YORK executed d 20-year-old
" slayer last night. and it is quite ap-
parent that New York and the young
SLAYER are better off this morning than
they were last night.
Francis Crowley, the two gun man.
as he called himself. died IN the electric
chair calling in vain for the mother he
never knew.
She deserted him at the age of eight
months and he never knew a mothers
love but grew up the product of the
worst environment of New Hork's east
side.
1t was easy to graduate from petty
thief to one of the most desperate kill
erS whose capture was finally made only
with the use of the greater part of the
police department, bombs, grenades, pis-
tolls rifles and Shotguns, with a two hour
gun battle being waged in the heart OF
the metropolis.
Bad as Crowley was, it is impossible
to condemn him completely. He never
had a chance and it was inevitable that
he should end up as he did.
One does not like to comment on the
mother who deserted him. There are
so many mothers who have to stand
more than their share of grief and pain
that it must be expected now and then
that one of them will be remiss in
mothers duty.
1t is perhaps we'll enough to call it a
closed incident and let time and her own
thoughts take care of the young killers
mother.

Accused Youth
Changes Plea

Eugene Russell, 49, found the
silver lining to his cloud of court
room troubles yesterday afternoon
when he changed a plea of not
guilty to reckless driving to one OF
guilty, and was fined $50 by Judge
1. Mayfield, who suspended the
fine.
AS a result of the changed plea
to the lesser charge, a charge Of
driving while under the influence
of Intoxicating liquor was dis
missed, and Russell was freed in
costody of his parents.
He was first charged with drunk
driving, but this was reduced to
reckless driving when he appeared
in court the first time. Russell's
failure to plead guilty TO the lesser
charge resulted in failure of the
state traffic officer, who had ar
rested him, TO dismiss the drunk
driving charge, with the result
Russell was charged both with a
misdemeanor and a felony.

Hillquit Continues
to Ally with Tammany
i'm Mckee Court Case

NEW YORK.-Morris Hillquit for
the Socialist Party, John Godfrey
SAKE for Tammany. and j. Joseph
Lilly, for the Board of Elections make
up the battery of lawyers arguing for
a new trial this year for mayor. Of
New York. 1t is a united front Of the
bosses parties.
The hearing is before Supreme
Court Justice John E. Mcclellan and
continued yesterday.
Harold r. Medina and former gov
ernor Nathan L. Miller appeared to
argue Mckee should stay in office
without an election.
Miller in the course of his remarks
stated that if there we're an election
he would propose Mckee on a joint
Republican Democratic ticket. Miller
is a Republican Party boss, former
governor of New York.
Already the Socialist Party has
proposed Hillquit as fusion candi-
date for the Socialist, Democratic
and Republican parties, thus aban-
doning all pretense of independent
political action in this election, unless
it is forced on them.
Mckee, on his part, yesterday de-
clared himself straight Tammany
man, and boosted that he was taking
advice from McCooey, the Tammany
Brooklyn leader.

ARRESTS FAIL TO
BREAK REX LINES
Trial Up Tonight; Boss
Weakening

NEW YORK.-Last night the Tam
many police, anxious to break the
solid strike fthe Rex Products Co.,
MADE vicious attack against the
pickets and arrested more than a
dozen strikers. The high spirit of the
arrested workers and of those who
continued the picketing is a sign that
the strike will go on until Mr.. Rosen-
berg gives in to the demands of the
strikers.
During the Gay the boss sent word
that he wants to see the committee
to negotiate. When the committee,
elected by the strikers notified him
that the strikers are ready to talk
business, the boss objected to some
of the militant members of the Set
tlement committee. On this point the
negotiations broke off.
The fact that the boss called for
q committee shows that he is weak
ening.
The Metal Workers Industrial
Union is mobilizing all its forces to
help the Rex workers win their strike.
TIE arrested workers will appear at
the ". 54oh St. night court.

DEMAND ELECTION
OF MAYOR OF N. Y.
Communists SayMcKee
Is Wall st. Tool

NEW YORK-Israel Amter, Com
munist candidate for Governor of
New York, declared in a statement
yesterday that the Communist Party
is in favor of a mayoralty election on
Nov. 8, which Mayor Joseph v. Nc
ISee is attempting to eliminate by
court action.
Acting for Franklin d. Roosevelt,
and for James Farley of the National
Committee CT the Democratic Party,
Mckee is trying to stave off the cleo
ton so that he can put. through his
program Of cutting relief and wages, !"
Amter charged. He added, Mckee
pretends to be a strong man, but it
must be remembered that he is the
same man who talked insultingly to
the Unemployed Delegation on Sat-
urday, Sept. 10, when he rejected the
demands Of the 100000 hungry I'M
employed. He is also the same man
who issued orders on the day follow
ing the demonstration, especially to
the Harlem districts, that the IN
employed Councils of New York
should not be allowed to represent
the unemployed Negro and white
workers of Harlem" This order
Amter declared, was made so as to
deprive Negro, Latin-American and
Italian workers who are openly dis
eliminated against by the admins
tration of New. York City of effective
leadership in their struggle for relief.
Patterson for Mayor
''McKee'S orders for drastic wage
cuts was instigated by Wall Street."
Arnter further charged. 1T is Nc
KEGS and Wall Streets economy
program which lets the rich alone
but places the burden upon the
workers. Mckee fatty refused the
demands of the Unemployed Delega-
ton on Sept. 10 for higher taxes on
banks and corporations. so that relief
might be increased and wage-cuts
stopped.
1.-THE Community Party opposes the
move by Mckee, Roosevelt and Farley
to stop the mayoralty election at the,
instigation of their Wall Street
masters, and demands that the
mayoralty election shall take place
en- Nov g."
The Communist Party of New York
has nominated William L. Patterson,
leader in numerous struggles of Negro
and white workers for relief in this
crisis, as its candidate for Mayor of
New York to fill the vacancy caused
by the forced resignation of James
Walker.

OVER "a DEAD
ON 0BSERV ALTON
Some Evidence She
Carried Dynamite

NEW YORK.-The death in the
hospital yesterday of one of the
workers injured in the Observation
blast, and the recovery of another
body from the East River raised the
number Of corpses to II. There are
still three known to be missing, and
an unknown number who may be
missing. The death list is undoubt-
edly at least "a.
Two Investigations are going on,
neither of which will do anything to
punish what has now been proved
to be wholesale slaughter of building
workers and crew of the Observation.
One is by the federal authorities, and
the other by the district attorney and
grand jury Of the Bronx.
There have been persistent rumors
that the ship carried, along with its
live cargo of 126 men, another cargo
of dynamite. The j. P. Carlin Con-
tracing Co. which hired the ship to
carry its men to work, denies that it
loaded dynamite also. But some wit
nesses have testified they saw black
smoke rising from the ship as she
sunk, in addition to the steam from
the exploded boiler.
