NEW YORK. The Paris Shoe
workers strike at 81 Ingrham ST.,
Brooklyn, is still going strong. The
strikers are mobilizing to smash the
attempts Of the company to rush in
scabs under the leadership of the
notorious strike breaker, M. Moore,
who herded scabs and strike-breakers
to help the bosses break the 1880
strike.
NEW YORK.-The police are US

attempt to break the Elco Shoe strike

On several instances the police have

EXPELLED FROM
BRITISH PARTY

LONDON, May 1o.-The British
Communist Party has issued the fol.
lowing statement:
The Political Bureau Is compelled
to expel leading member, ]. T.
Murphy, from the Communist Par
ty Of Great Britain, on the grounds
Of propagation Of anti-proIetarian
views and desertion of the struggle
at critical moment.
In the past three weeks the Par.
ty leadership has been endeavor-
ing to convince Murphy that his
editorial article in the April issue
of the Communist Review was fun
damentaEly wrong and requiring an
open correction.
The Political Bureau presented
Murphy with a written statement
showing that the article distorted
the line of revolutionary struggle
against war and wrongly estimated
the relations of the Soviet Union
and the capitalist world.
Every endeayor was made to con-
vince Murphy and special meet
ing of the Political Bureau was
held to discuss the matter with
him. However, Murphy evaded the
issue asking time for consideration.
The meeting was adjourned there
upon.
Murphy agreed 10 submit a writ
ten statement, but instead sent
letter resigning from membership
in the Party, making a sIanderous
attack upon the leadership and
evading the political issues.
The Political Bureau demanded
continuation of the discussion de-
claring that his resignation was
impermissible but Murphy replied
declaring that he was no longer .
member of the Party.
The Political Bureau therefore
expelled Murphy, appealing to the
workers to repudiate a deserter
from the ranks Of Communion.
The statement then details the
circumstances prior to Murphy's
expulsion and charges him with po-
liticai cowardice and desertion in
the face of coming increased res

Forced to receive the entire dele
cation, which crowded into the Office
despite his request for half a dozen,
he squirmed under the direct accuse
ton, 1--WE hold you responsible for
Berkmans imprisonment and hunger
strike, for Borich's arrest and the
deportation wave"
The delegates were surrounded
by many threatening and proyocav
tive hunkies and dicks. Doak UNDER
went a hot time as speaker after
speaker accused him Of his muir
derous deportation policy and of
wanting to see Berkman die. When
charged with being a strike breaker
by Ann BurIak and other speakers,
he lost his temper and shouted,
you lie."
His attempt to fake an impartial
hearing ended ludicrously when he
gave the signal to his funkies to clear
the room.
Burlak, after refusing to shake
hands, read a statement accusing
Doak of being a strike breaker and
deportation director and the bosses
agency of the Department of Labor,
and demanded the release OF Berk-
man.
Doak at first said, I'VE are doing
all we can for Berkman," but when
directly asked, "WiI you free her or
let her die in JAIL" he said, 1T can't
help that" Then you are liar"
the workers shouted. "You want her
to die in Jail"
The speakers were Burlak, spokes-
man, Maude White, Tucard, Negro
worker, Printoff, T. Conroy, Marie
Legrand. textile worker of New
England. Martin, an ex-serviceman,
Horwatt for the Council for the Pro-
lection of the Foreign Born, and
Carl Hacker for the International
Labor Defense.
Doak frequently shouted, you are
liar" especially when he was told,
you sold out the railroad strike in
1922"
Maude White exposed Doak's state
ment as a friend of the Negroes in
telling of the terror policy against
the blacks as we'll as the foreign born.
The meeting closed with Doak
trembling in rage and the workers
shouting, wen mobilize millions Of
workers to force you to free Berlman
and halt the deportations"
Dicks showed the workers out into
the corridor. A mas meeting was
held Tuesday night.

Building Wages Cut in Half
and Agreement Abolished

NEW YORK.-After Mondays con-
ference between Norman, head OF the
bosses association, and Halkett, chief
labor faker of the Building Trades
Council the way was cleared to put
across on the building trades workers
of this city the biggest swindle In
their history.
Not only have the bosses and
takers agreed to enforce the Is per
cent to 40 per cent wage cut, but it
is understood that no agreement will
and program to completely destroy
be signed. This means more cuts

all standards OF the workers in the
building industry.
Halkett Is attempting to cover up
this treachery with statements to the
effect that an agreement will be
signed after the depression is over,
creating the illusion that the end of
the depression Is near, despite the
fact that there is less building this
year than last and no prospect for
any increase is in sight.
The membership of the unions
should repudiate this wholesale sell
out and throw out these agents of
the bosses who are responsible for it.

FRENCH POLICE
ADMIT GORGULOV
Is A TSARHT
To Delay Trial to Pro

Allies

MOSCOW, May 10.-Authorities
here categoricalIy deny that Cor
gulov, the White Guardist slayer
of the French President, visited the
Soviet Union in 1927 or was a mem
Der Of the Communist Party at any
time.
PRAGUE, May 10.-The Com
munist Party denies the SANDER
that Gorgulov was a member of
the Communist Party and declares
that he was member of the So
ciaIist party. The socialist central
organ, Pravolidu, admits that Cor
gulov was a member of the Coed
ing Branch of the socialist party
in 1927.
The Prague police secretly exam
ined the first wife of GorguIov,
but failed to publish the result as
the woman declared that Gorgulov
was hotter enemy of the Bolshe-
visits.
DR.. Paul Gorgoulov, White Guard
ist murder of the French president,
will not be brought to trial until
latter an investigation that might
last two or three months" This
statement was made last night by
police headquarters In Paris. The
delay is clearly intended to di-
vert public indignation from
Frances White Guard allies, and to
give the police time to cook up new
lies in support Of their claims that
Gorgoulov is Bolshevist agent
In the meantime, a Paris dispatch
to the New York Times reports the
following admissions by the police:
Detectives of the Surete Gener-
ale (Secret SeIvice) said DR.. Cor
goulov had printed booklet out
lining an anti-Soviet program lead
ing to a Screen party" dictatorship
in Russia, which he would head.
The detectives asserted he outlined
the organization Of the government
he would establish, described the
uniforms of its army and concluded
with an appeal for war, foreign or
civil, as the only way to save Rus
sian refugees"
The dispatch also quotes the
French detectives as stating that
Gorgoulov was closely associated with
M. Jakovleff, editor of the anti-Sov-
Yet paper Nabat lthe Tocsin).

but the prompt action of the Shoe

CENSUS OF AGED
PEOPLE WHO NEED AID

Oklahoma City, Okla, (CNS)-
Friends Of q pension movement
and advisory committee composed
OF several State officials and in
dustrial and business leaders,
have sponsored an old age pension
bill to provide aid for aged per-
sons IN need of support or fin
anclal assistance. Those sought
to be aided are classified as in the
age groups of so, to 60, 60 to IS.
and 65 and over, and in those
groups vii be found approximate
ly 10000 Negroes.
An old age pension bill passed
the House In the last State Legis-
lature but failed to get out of the
Senate Committee before the
end of the session. A new meas
IRE will be designed for submits
sion to the next Legislature. Its
provisions will be shaped after

places on Juries, and that this a.
mounts to exclusion in the Consti-
tutional sense, and there is no
~gainsaying that in pursuing the
method of noting down names of
good men suggested to him in his
daily routine the judge has not
taken down any but those of
hite men.
His system of drawing jurors
begins with a collection of names
Of white eligibles, and hence is
confined from the beginning to
the selection of white men. Only
the white men appear to have
been looked to for jurors. The
evidence, with the long, unbroken
absence Of Negroes from the jur-
les selected, seems to show an es-
tablished practice, combining sell
ectlons to white men as effectual-
ly Is if such a restriction were
prescribed by statute. And, the
court has concluded that this, un-
der the authorities, amounts to
unconstitutional exclusion of Ne
groes.
"There has never been any
modification by the Supreme
Court of its statement as to the
inference to be drawn from a
long succession of entirely white
juries and it seems not likely that
there will soon be one, especially
in a case in which the evidence
shows a system which begins with
the collecting of names of white
men only"
Concluding the court said
The o%yerruling Of the challenge
must be held erroneous and the
judgement must, for the error. be

Washington, (CNS) The indict-

former president Of the National

Daniel Gary, his real estate part
ner, and Mortimer K. Smith. for
mer comptroller Of the insurance
company, charging conspiracy to
defraud the National Benefit Life
Insurance Company Of $3.50, 600,
to which the defendants demur-
red on June Ii, were nolle pross-
ed here Friday.
New indictments, avoiding the
particular legal effects to which
the defendants demurred. were re-
turned against them charging
grand larceny in addition to the
original conspiracy charge. The
new indictments do not mention
either Robert II. Rutherford, for
mer president, nor Samuel Ruth
erford, former vice-president Of
the company, who will be Govern
ment witnesses in the prosecution
Of the three defendants. 4
Mr.. Risher, who insists he is INF
nocent Of any attempt to defraud
the insurance company, feels that
the new Indictment is more faulty
than the original and his attor-
neys Robert III, Mcneil, Levi Dav-
id and David III. Winburn, are
planning to file a demurrer inn
n(diatelF although it cannot be
argued until the fall term Of
court.
The nolle pressing Of the orig
inal indictment obviated the nee
essity for the court to render a
decision on the demurrer. The
issuance of the new Indictment Is
taken by many to indicate that
the decision of the Judge on the
validity Of the indictments would
have favored the defendants.

WIFE GAVE BIRTH TO WHITE
MANS CHILD
Continued from page u

and suggested that she seek else
where tor a husband. Despite
this action IN his part he further
claims that she persisted in calling
him on the phone to arrange for
appointments which he kept.
Each time she renewed her re-
quest that he marry her. Due
to her persistency, he finally
yielded to her opportunities, pro-
cured a license in May 1890 but
could not make up his mind to
have the ceremony performed
until a month later, when in re-
Spouse to her continual pleadings
he consented.
In the bill he relates that be-
tween the date Of his securing the
license and the marriage, his
friends limited to him that his fu-
ture wife was loose and unchaste
and warned against marriage.
He alleges that when he confront
ted her with this information she
Indignantly denied it, asserted
her innocence and protested that
she had always been a virtuous
woman.
Shortly after their marriage he
alleges that he discovered that
she was pregnant and his suspic-
ions became aroused as to the
paternity of the child, but his
wife satisfied his doubts for a
while.
After the birth of the child at
Garfield Hospital, December IA,
1880, he says that he visited her
and when shown the child i'm
~medlately perceived it to be
white. He and his wife, both are
dark skinned with typical Ne
groid features, whereas the
child's features we're decidedly
caucasion and its complexion
white. When questioned at a
later visit he states that he was
told by his wife that this condi-
ton was due to the fact that the
nurse had used Johnson's Tai
cum powder with bleaching
cream on the baby's skin and that
the child would remain white as
long as this preparation was used.
Questioned on her release from
the hospital she testified accord
ing to his report that the father
OF the child was a white man.
who threatened to kill her if she
revealed his identity. He has
learned the name OF the man in
volved in the case and is planning
to sue him for conspiracy, chare-
ing that the man suggested to
Mrs. Edwards that she marry a
colored man when she learned Of
her condition.
Edwards asks the court that
his marriage be annulled.
