VERRILL

HAVE been fishing for gold at the
bottom of the sea. Through the
crystalline water of the tropics I
have looked down upon the remains
of a stately Spanish galleon that,
laden with treasures of IncaS and Aztecs
was driven by hurricane upon the
fangS of coral reefs three centuries and
more ago. I have seen her long
shanked, massive anchors her ponder
Gus, ancient cannon, her twisted rigging
and iron work resting upon the coral
incrusted floor of the ocean, where
fish, cruel-jawed barracudas and giant
gray sharks swan lazily amid the
twisted wreckage and flashed like living
jewels in the shafts of sunlight, And
from the bed of the West Indian seas
have seen the fittings and the contents
of the 300-year-old treasure ship come
dripping over the rail of my boat as my
divers wrenched them from their resting
places and we hauled them upward from
the oceans depths.
Probably no human eyes had looked
upon this sunken galleon since the day
she went to the bottom of the sea. No
man had ever before gazed downward
upon that centuries old hulk amid the
reefs No human being had seen her
since that far distant day when, in the
fury of a West Indian hurricane, the
great ships of Spain were hurled to de-
struction upon the coral and never
~f +, hro I'd fO
tell the tale of the greatest catastrophe
that ever befell the merchant marine of
Spain.
\A/HEN, last December, I wrote an
wv article, Lets Go Fishing for
Gold" for The Sunday Star Magazine,
little did dream that my story was
destined to lead me on treasure hunt,
that was fated to 60 fishing for gold
myself, to search for and find one Of
the wrecks I described. Still less did
dream that within six months of the
time I would be looking upon one of
the wrecks and watching my divers SAL
wage objects and metals that had been
hidden from all but the fishes for three
centuries. But there is romance,
fascination in tales of lost treasure that
appeal to nearly every one, and hard
headed business men who would not risk
a cent on business deal containing an
element of chance will often gamble on
a treasure hunt largely for the "kick"
they obtain, the thrill of adventures in
which they cannot take an active part.
Scores Of letters came to me following
the publication of my story. Some
wished detailed information of the treas
ures I had mentioned, others wanted to
know why the treasures had not been
salvaged If they were actually as de-
scribed. Many were from young men
who, lured by the glamour Of millions
beneath the sea, contemplated setting
out on "shoestring" to wrest fortunes
from Davy Jones' locker.
Among the lot was one from man
who requested personal interview and
said he believed he could arrange to
finance an expedition to salvage some
Of the treasure ships. Matters moved

the bosses.
The agreement, hailed with jubila-
ton by the boss press as a peace pact,
sent the men back to work, leaving
the right to hire and fire to the
bosses. The union is permitted to
have shop stewards TO collect dues
but the bosses have the right to ex-
clude them if in their opinion they
are interfering with "the proper con-
duct OF business or the discipline Of
the workers" The bosses may also
check-off dues from the wages of the
workers. The agreement accepts the
minimum wage offered by the Manu-
facturers Association for week work
as the basis of the agreement. Wage
scales for piece work are to be de-
sernined in conference with the boss
eS. Where the union and the bosses
fail to arrive at an agreement the
matter is to be referred to an arbi-
tration committee. The manufactur-
ers are not required to hire union
workers. The most vicious section Of
the agreement is one abolishing
strikes or stoppages and referring all
questions which cannot be settled by
the bosses and union to the State
Board of Arbitration. Sympathetic
strikes are also outlawed by terms Of
the agreement.
When the agreement was presented
to the workers at a strike meeting
at Peabody City Hall by the union
Attorney Peter Walsh, it was read
with such speed that the workers in
the hall did not understand its con-
tents. A call for a verbatim reading
of the terms of the contract was ig-
nored. When the vote was called for,
only ten workers answered aye. No
negative vote was called for. When a
worker rose to protest that many for
eign born workers present did not I'M
derstand the agreement, he was voted
"out OF order"
Rank and file workers are organizing
to bring to the attention Of the leath-
er workers the meaning of this be-
trayal and to build a powerful rank
and file movement in the union to
prepare for another strike to win the
original demands for which the work
ers fought so militantly.

TRADE BUILDING
INDEXES DROP
STILL FURTHER

The fundamental indexes which
are true indicators of effective pur-
chasing power are the index of new
construction and retail distribution
Both of these indexes show not the
slightest indications of prosperity.
The building industry is now at the
lowest level since the crisis Con-
tracts awarded for March declined
below February, instead Of showing
even the usual seasonal increase
During the first half of April, build
ing contracts fell even lower They
are now so per cent lower than last
year, and lower than they have been
for many decades.
The index Of retail distribution is
still making new lows. The Federal
Reserve Bank reports that retail sales
for March were 81 per cent below
last year; wholesale 20 per cent be-
low last year, and chain store sales
II per cent below last year.
Despite the widespread publicity
regarding the long awaited return OF
prosperity" the fundamental eco
nomic indexes indicate that the eco
nomic crisis has in no sense been al
leviated.

PUDOVKIN IN TOLSTOPS
Living CORPSE"

The Acme Theatre. beginning
today will present double feature
program, "The Living Corpse"
based on Leo Tolstoi's famous play
Redemption" with the noted actor
Vsevolod Pudoykin in the leading
role of Fedja and "Soviets On Pa
rade," which returns to the Acme
because of popular demand.
"The Living Corpse" was pro-
duced by Mejhrosbpofilm and was
directed by Fedor Ozep.
Pudovkin is supported by the lead
ing artists of the Moscow Art
Theatre and includes Maria jacob
nj, Viola Garden, Julia Serbia and
n. Wstschause. The picture, which
has English titles, also boasts an
excellent musical score. This picture
gives a stirring, stark translation
of the Tolstoi writing. Pudovkin
makes perfect Fedja. His stolid
expression undergoes flashes which
make him the center of audience in
terest. The same program will have
as an added attraction the May Day
Celebration on Union Square.

The Judge admitted, solely because
Gonshak was a leader Of the Unem-

agogic speech, prompted by the pres
ence of so many workers, pleaded
that. there was no more money for
relief, and that the workers should
starve at home. Several times the
judge changed this statement to say
that the relief money was simply de
layed."
The courtroom resenlbled an armed

keep out the true motive Of the DEM

stand eviction notices, gas bills, or
electric bills or attempted to tell of
starvation at home without relief.
This testimony was called for by
Attorney Schreiner of the Interna-

Iorceful demands at the bureau were
justified by their conditions.

workers. He said, Il don't want to

AL witnesses testified that the
chairs the workers were accused of
using against the police were welded
by paid thugs in the Relief Bureau
on the accused workers.
Just before the sentencing, charges
Of assault were dismissed against the
workers, when the frame-up methods
of the police became too obvious, but
