Terre Haute Stops
Unemployed Relief

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. q
Destitute workers and their families
are today faced by acute hunger re-
sulting from the refusal of all gro
GERS to honor food warrants issued
by the township relief. Grocers state
that the warrants have not been paid
for by the county for the past seven
months. In the beginning of Sep
TENDER the @. & S. Grocers Alliance
rejected the warrants for the first
time, throwing the burden of relief
on the shoulders of the smaller in
dependent stores. When Governor,
McNutt refused to pay more than
so per cent of the total value of the
warrants these stores also refused
relief.
Political charges of maladministra-
ton were passed from the township
trustee to the office Of the Governor,
while workers and their dependents
wonder how to find food for today's
meals. County Auditor Propst was
commissioned to confer with the Gov
ernor and relief officials and has
promised an announcement not later
than pm. tomorrow.

vania soft coal miners today defied
the virtual command OF the Presi-
dent and General Hugh S. johnson
that they return to work" declared
the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph Tues
day night.
''They defied also the instructions
of their own union commanders,
among them e-President Philip
Murray, who told them yesterday
that if they continued to strike to-
day they would be conducting a re-
bellion.'
The fact of the matter is, Murray
threatened that the President would
order the United States Army
against the miners. He threatened
the death of their union and the
murder of their rank and file leaders.
I'VE have received command
from the commander in-chief OF the
United States asking us to resume
operation under the terms OF the
agreement which has been entered
into between General johnson and
the steel executives" Murray told
the miners on Monday.
"As far as the United States is
concerned it has said its last words"
But the miners continued TO strike.
They did more, they declared they
would strike until they win and no
force would stop them.
we've got to say yes or no to the
President of the United States"
Murray exhorted.
The miners, in one solid chorus,
said mol"
They did more. They began pre-
pairing more drastic picketing. They
are determined not only to keep their
strike firm, but to help close down
the Carnegie Steel plant in Clarion,
and to help close down the steel
mills in Ambridge and throughout
the Allegheny Valley.
1.-THE union that does not respect
that command (of President Roose-
velt)," warned Murray, will live but
a short time. And the officers OF
that union will live but short time"
Nor did this murder threat make
the miners finch the least bit.
The answer of the miners to every
plea, from the White House down, to
return to work is: "One hundred per
cent no, until Prick recognizes the
union"

CORRESPONDENTS

BUFFALO, N. UT has been
learned from reliable sources, on
Sept. 18th strike was unanimously
voted for at a union meeting and a
committee set up to handle the strike
situation at the Wright plant
in Buffalo. N. Y, by dissatisfied work
ers who had received approximately
ga per cent cut in weekly pay in
stead of a 6A per cent increase as
was stated in the local newspapers
at the time of occurrence.
This union was formed by the AM
erican Federation Of Labor represen-
tatives with the Curtiss- Wright Co.
approval.
At this meeting, when the strike
was voted, A.F.L. representatives and
organizers realized the militancy of
the workers and obviously became
worried as the morning the strike
was to materialize drew near. A. F.
of L. representatives Cat the instiga-
ton of government representatives
who were trying to shield the COM
pany from disgrace after allowing it
to display the Blue Eagle were at
the plant telling the workers an arm
istice had been signed with the Cur
tisS- Wright Co. as the union had not
been fair to their employers, although
weeks notice warning had been
sounded.
Win Demands
After considerable elaboration and
DELAY. the A. F. of l.. and the Cur
tiss- Wright Co. were forced to ac-
cept the workers demands. They
would not tolerate any change in
their decision to strike unless their
demands were granted.
The question is now much longer
can the A. F. of L. hold whip hand
over these workers before they bolt
from their strategy and non-strike
policies to seek other, more re-
liable union leadership that will back
them in their fight or strikes for
higher wages?
Especially now, as initiation adj
vances so rapidly, cutting more and
more from their weekly pay. /,

in Pennsylvania declared solidarity
with the Prick Co. miners for a
finish fight, no matter what gov
eminent force moved along with the
UM.W.A. leaders to break the strike.
The Searight mass meeting was
called after Philip Murray, UNIV A.
president, held runp confer
ence in Pittsburgh on Monday, at
tended by some of the insurgent
leaders like Martin Ryan and Steve
Petrone.
Murray announced that Ryan and
Petrone had agreed to send the men
back to work, considering General
Johnson's telegram and the H. G..
Prick Co. declaration as virtual"
recognition of the U.M.W.A.
Suddenly, as one of the agents of
the coal operators, Anthony Caval-
cante, a representative Of Governor
Pinchot, was about to conclude his
speech, truck mounted with a loud
speaker on top drove to the platform.
William Feeney, president Of U. M.
w. A. District 4, alighted. He sneaked
up to the platform, out of view.
Throw Him Out"
He did not dare face the miners,
but stepped down and hid in the
truck while he attempted to speak.
Everything had been pre-arranged
for a quick exit for Feeney.
"You have put up a remarkable
fight" began Feeney.
boo, throw him out"
"You betrayed us in 1922, but you
won't betray us now"
The whole . assembled mass of
miners vented their rage and anger.
Hidden in the truck, Feeney tried to
speak again. But not word of
this was then heard above the din
and shouting Of the embittered
miners.
60 down there and take him
out. Throw him out" shouted the
miners.
The men began surging toward the
truck. Feeney's henchmen slammed
the doors shut and sped off in a
hurry.
PinchOt Message
The stage had been carefully pre-
pared for Feeney's entry. Caval
cante, in a smooth and ingratiating
manner, told the miners how much
he was for them. He praised the
N. R. A. He hailed Roosevelt. Then
he told the miners he had a special
message for them from Governor
Pinchot. Its a special appeal to
you men. Listen carefully" He
read the letter worded almost ex-
actly as General Johnson's state
ment of the previous day, authorized
by Roosevelt.
"That means recognition of the

NAVY'S CIVILIANS
FACE FURTHER CUT
Swanson Orders 10 Per Cent
Reduction Among Wash
ington Employees.
From the $50 Edition of Yesterdays star.)

From the $50 Edition of Yesterdays Star.)
The pay roll of civilian employees of
the Navy Department who are en-
ployed in the District of Columbia will
be cut 10 per cent, resulting in a
sharp reduction in the number of
jobs, under an order issued late today
by Secretary of the Navy Swanson.
Since the saving is to be effected
on money basis. it could not be as
certained just how many employees in
Washington would lose their positions.
Officials said study is being made of
a furlough system whereby fewer en-
ployes would have to be dismissed.
The Swanson order was said to be
the first step in major economy pro-
gram in the naval establishment that
may close ultimately some of the navy
yards. close radio stations and other
wise shrink the service.
The text of Secretary Swanson's Or
der follows:
81. The Navy Department is faced
with the necessity of reducing expendi-
ture of funds allotted by Congress.
This reduction must therefore be borne
not only by the field service. but also
by the department itself.
"2. It is therefore directed that the
bureaus and offices and headquarters,
United States Marine Corps, make rec
ommendation for the separation of such
employees in the Navy Department that
will result in a saving of 10 per cent
of the total cost of civil employees. This
recommendation will be made in suffi-
cient time to enable the department to
effect the separations on May l, 1888.
