WheelbarrOw Found
Buried for 40 Years
In Old Tunnel Here

Covered with rust and slime
from being underground about 40
years, a wheelbarrow has been
found in an old water tunnel
where it apparently was left by
mistake when the tunnel was
completed to carry water to the
old Potomac Electric Power Co.
plant at Fourteenth street and
Constitution avenue.
Owing to the fact 1t had been
covered with water most OF the
time the old wheelbarrow was not
so ba;ly disintegrated as might
have been expected.
Workmen also found about
1000 feet OF old lumber in the
tunnel, Government engineers
said. The tunnel is being re-
paired to bring water from the
Tidal Basin to cool the air 3n

FOR RAIL PAY CUT
AFTER ELECTIONS
This Is Meaning Of
Hoover Statement

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 81
Secretary of Labor Doak yesterday
revealed that President Hoover has
asked both the railroad companies
and the officials of the Railroad
Brotherhoods to put off the 20 per
cent wage-cut program until after
the elections
Doak did not say it just that way,
but that is what it means. Doak
said Hoover, on the plea that "by
the end of the year the business
situation will be clearer" asks that
the question of the cut be postponed
until then.
The New York Times corTespon-
dent, commenting on the situation,
says: Government officers tonight
indicated that even if the railroads
felt q 20 per cent out was necessary
on Jan. /, they would still have time
under the railway labor act to send
out the requisite notices and put the
cut into effect before Feb. l."
The present contract, which in
cludes a wage-cut of 10 per cent
granted by the Brotherhood officials
on Feb. /, of this year, will run until
Feb. 1, 1888.
Workers Must Fight.
The Communist Party and the
Trade Union Unity League have
urged the railroad workers to recog-
nize that their brotherhood leaders
are selling them out again, and to
form anti-wage- committees to
defeat the cut.

MILWAUKEE,, Wise, Sept. 81
Six thousand unemployed and part
time workers, of whom 1000 had
marched from Central Park, demon
strated yesterday before the gates OF
the Allis-C Chalmers plant in West AL
lis. They demanded cash relief for
the jobless or jobs, minimum wage
for full and part-time workers and
pay for waiting time.
The Socialist Party officials gave
entire support to the company in
its plan to starve its workers. So
cialist Party Mayor Baxter of West
Allis modified all the police in the
city to menace the joblcss workers
demanding the right to live.
Mayor Hoan of Milwaukee, q
prominent Socialist Party leader,
rushed to the aid Of the Allis-
Chalmers Co. by sending reserve
force of Milwaukee police armed
with riot guns, to line up before
the factory, ready to shoot down
the hungry jobless.
The Socialist Party Sheriff Ben
son Of Milwaukee County rushed
his motorcycle deputies to guard
the factory gates.
Barbed wire to tear the flesh of
the workers, and fire houses with
which to drench them we're strung
out by the Socialist police.
Capitalism, in the form of the bru-
tally exploiting Allis- Chalmers Co.,
had decreed that the jobless and its
part-time workers should starve this
winter, and the highest Socialist
Party officials volunteered as willing
gunner for capitalism, to enforce its
edicts against the hungry thousands.
The worker masses can see clearly
again what the Socialist Party stands
for. They contrast the company gun
man role of the two Socialist Party
mayors and the Socialist Party sher-
iff with the platform of the Com
munist Party, which makes the first
point in its election platform:
Unemployment and social in
surance at the expense Of the state
and the employers" and makes as
its second point in its platform:
against Hoover's wage cutting
policy"

The release was made yestei day.
A crowd of hundreds of angry, de-.
termined, striking miners was coll
lected all day long in front of the
Jail, fairly itching for a chance to
take up with the u M. w. A. Off
Gals the question of their strike
breaking and murder program in
Illinois.
But the gang that shot up the
miners was smuggled out the back
door of the jail and whisked away
in taxicabs to luxurious and we'll
guarded hotel rooms in this and
other cities.
Sneed Free.
Among those released was William
Sneed, former state senator from
Herrin, Ill, and chief Lewis agent in
Southern Illinois. Sneed, many wit
neSses declare, was the man who
fired the first shot and killed the
policeman. Porter williams. Will
Hams was in plain clothes, mixing
with the striking miners, and Sneed
mistook him for miner.

In spite of the evidence against
Sneed, the murder charge is actu-
ally placed against the only one of
the gun thugs still held, Garnett H.
Smith, local president of the U. M.
w. A. local in Herrin 1t was re-
ported at first that Smith confessed
killing Williams to save Sneed. Now.
apparently, he is trying to go back
o nhiS confession. 1t may require
all the formality of mock trial to
Whitewash Smith, and Sneed will
probably not be brought to trial at
all.
OF the miners injured. two are in
the hospital, very seriously wounded.
The entire incident shows the
of militant struggle of the
thousands of Illinois strikers. They
have against them the armed forces
