said, as president and secretary. An
other delegate said he thought
it was terrible that the governor
should send the militia in to help
starve the miners to death. He had
about come to the conclusion that the
government was out and out for the
operators. He told how the law had
tried to force the pickets to stay from

keepers had had men thrown into
jail with the result that many were
scared and stayed home. He cited the
case of Glen Arnold, arrested and
thrown into Jail half a dozen times.

After telling the workers there was
relief to be had, he told how he had
gathered relief, in various towns, and
how the farmers in a certain loca-
ton had promised the strikers all the
number two potatoes.
"They put the potatoes on serene,
he said. The No Is fall through,
but the No. Is stay on top, just like
the operators" He went on to say
that the state had shown its hand in
his strike as in all others. He told
the delegates to remember this in
November and vote for Foster and
Ford.
Expose Fake "Relief'
A delegate told what troubles he

He denounced the fake state relief
program as aimed to disrupt other

have tried to do-and showed how
state aid would cut off aid from
other sources. People would say

feed you," said the speaker. Thus
since the state only fed the children
and didn't give these even so much

be starved back to work.

NO. 11-Tornado Is Most Violent of All Storms, but
Usually Its Life and Scope Are Strictly Limited

THE tornado is the most violent
A Of all storms, but compared
with most other storms it is Of brief
duration and covers a relatively
small area.
The entire history of a tornado
is usually limited to less than hour,
and the path of destruction is sell
dom more than quarter mile wide.
At any one place along the path
the storm does not last more than
a minute or so.
A tornado travels over the earth
at a speed of from Is to so miles
an hour. At the same time it spins
on its axis, and it is this rotary
movement that causes havoc. The
speed of rotation never has been
measured, but is supposed, from the
terrific feats of destruction accom-
plished, to amount to 400 or 500
miles an hour in some cases.
Like thunder storms, tornadoes
may occur in some part of the
United States in any month of the
year. In winter and early spring
they may be expected in the gulf
and South Atlantic states, but with
advance of the season, they occur
farther and farther to the north
ward.
February and March are the

RATE CUT HOPE DIM
Marion Action Apparently
Has No Local Effect.

Probability of rate cut for Gus
toners of the indianapolis Power
and Light Company appeared 81 re-
mote as ever today, despite action Of
the public service commission in the
Marion electric case which makes
an immediate cut here possible.
Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbert-
son, who has been assigned local
rate reduction petitions and is pre-
siding at compromise conferences,
is not considering ordering the
rates reduced at once.
Files of the commission disclose
the Marion rates we're not as high,
previous to the 20 per cent cut, as
are those of the Indianapolis Power
and Light Company.
An option rate of the Marion
company provides service at 2 cents
for over 245 killowatt hours, while
the indianapolis rate is just twice
that amount.

Boulder Dam: No. g.
DEATH RATE is
kept Low IN
WORK ON DAM
Chief Complaint Against
Constructors Is Low
Scale of Wages.
BY ARTHUR MOORE
Times STAFF Correspondent

BOULDER CITY, New, Jan. 10
Black canyon, where Boulder dam
will rise, is an inferno under a
summer sun, and a gloomy, damp
chasm in winter.
The death toll on the project was
expected TO be enormous. Two
hundred men killed the first year
was an estimate of bonding COM
panies as quoted in the Journal Of
Electrical Workers and Operators
at the time operations started.
Forty-one persons have died on
the dam reservation since work
started eight months ago, official
records show. But reports of the
bureau Of reclamation, official
United States guardians Of the
project, show only thirteen men
have been killed as a result of &C
cidents while in the employ of the
Six Companies, Inc, contractors.
The other twenty-eight deaths have
been listed as natural causes"
One Death Each 100000 Hours
The six companies records reveal
$50 accidents since work started and
this total included even a scratched
finger If treated by company doc
tors. Tools and material have
caused 131 injuries, falling rocks
100, and blasting IS.
The accident record was praised
by a committee representing the
Associated General Contractors of
America, and the American Engi-
neering Council. The committee
concluded that the average of one
death for every 100000 man hours
of labor was not to be criticised.
Nowhere has the Six Companies
been criticised more than for its wage
scale. Violation "in spirit" of the
United States wage scale law has
been charged by union officials.
Representative Bacon (Rep., N. ",
co-author of the law, has announced
he will attempt to strengthen it def
initely to bring Boulder dam under
its provisions.
Edward H. Fitzgerald, United
States commissioner of Cancellation,
with offices in Los Angeles, has Wis
tied Boulder City and Las Vegas,
interviewed union leaders and sent
confidential report on dam wages
TO Secretary of Labor Doak.
Labor Aid Praises Firm
The six companies has a stalwart
defender in Leonard Blood, super
intendent of the federal state en-
ployment Office in Las Vegas.
Blood has handled employment
for the dam contractors, combining
with this work the duties of deputy
state labor commissioner for Ne
vada. In the latter role he has
called upon the six companies to
fall in line with Nevada labor laws.
II haven't made a recommended
ton that the contractors have not
acted upon favorably," Blood said.
'"They have made every effort to
cooperate and have shown their
respect for Nevada laws"
Bloods dealing with the six COM
panies has been generally upon
minor matters-such as compliance
with a Nevada law calling for pay
days every two weeks, whereas the
contractors started paying on a
weekly basis. On other points, the
six companies have maintained
their independence from Navada
laws.
Without awaiting the result of
Fitzgerald's investigation for Doak,
Blood says the prevailing wage law
was adopted too late to apply SO
far as work on the dam itself is
concerned.

Russia Is Our Friend

Reading the headlines, gathers that the
wicked Boshevks are wrecking Hoovers peace policy
in the far east and that the European powers are
siding with for peace and disarmament. The facts
the opposite.
Russia intends to recognize the Japanese puppet
state in Manchuria, it is said.
But France according to inspired reports from
Paris, will help uphold the nine-power treaty pro-
tecting China and will refuse recognition to the Japa
puppet state.
The only accurate way to judge governments
promises is by its record
The record shows that powerful French interests,
including subsidized Paris press, have supported
Japanese aggression from the beginning
The record shows that both the London and Paris
governments have acted to save Japan from League
of Nations discipline demanded by the small European
states.
The record shows that France and Britain refused
to join the United States last winter in the Stimson
declaration unfolding the peace treaties against
Japan and that they have continued their refusal
during the last nine months despite state department
pressure
There good reasons to believe that Japan after
waiting twelve months would not have proceeded to
set up her puppet state without some assurance of
noninterference by the European powers.
Japan does not need formal recognition of her con-
quest by the powers; all she needs is their tac APP
proval and hand-of policy
That policy of course, means the destruction of the
ninepower treaty. guaranteeing the independence of
China and of the Kellogg pact outlawing war;
No amount of inspired reports from Paris will change
the lineup. AS long as France plays Japans game of
blocking League of Nations action, and as long as
France refuses to cite Japan as a violator Of the
nine-power and Kellogg treaties the world will know
that her aid to the japanese ilitarists continues
The same applies equally to the British govern
ment, whose Tory members have ceased regret
ting that the nine-power and other Washington
treaties took the place of the old AngloJapanese mill
tary alliance and whose loyalty is definitely with the
Tories Of Japan
Only from the British Labor party and rank and-
nle British opinion, not represented in the London
government can America expect any sympathy for the
Stinlson doctrine of outawing the fruits Of conquest
Russia alone has stood with the United States
against conquest and war in the far east.
For us 1t required only diplomatic courage For
the Russians it means inviting military invasion by
Japan.
Moscow took this great risk for an entire year in
the vainhOpe that the United States might cooperate
for peace
AT any time during the last year. American recog-
milton OF Russia probably would have stopped Japa-
