fire Loss IN
CITY, COUNTY
IS LOWERED
Insurance Men Hold Con-
ference Today; Work
Here Is Praised

A meeting of field representa-
tives of field insurance compan-
les doing business in Henderson
county, local agents, city and
county officials and others was
held at the city hall this morning
as a follow-up of a meeting held
last May 3, at which time steps
were considered for cutting down
the excessive fire loss in this
county.
Present today were R. L..
Spaulding of Asheville, James w.
Blakeney of Winston-Salem, j..
A. Carruth of Charlotte, and
Wellborn Colquitt of Charlotte,
serving as a committee repre-
senting all fire insurance COM
panies doing business in Hender-
son county, Chief Otis Powers,
Milo Strong, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and a
number of local agents. ~
Mr.. Colquitt commended the
city and county for the work
done since the last meeting in
lowering fire losses. At the May
meeting it was shown that there
was an average of slightly more
than four fires per month on g.
two-year basis, and that the loss
paid for by companies averaged
$1G8O per week over that period.
Figures on losses paid by COM
panies during the six and a half
months since the meeting were
not available, but it was shown
that there had been an average
of about half this number of
fires per month for this period,
and it was estimated that losses
were greatly reduced.
1t was the concensus of the
meeting that steps taken to re-
duce> losses had been largely re-
sponsible for the showing made,
but it was pointed out that there
was still much to be done along
the line Of fire reduction.
1t was shown that something
had been done locally along the
lines suggested at the May meet
ing. In reply to the resolution
of the May meeting urging a con-
tinuance of the night patrol, and
its extension to include the en-
tire city, and quarterly inspec-
ton of buildings in the fire dis
trict and annual inspection of all
buildings in the city limits, Chief
Powers stated that these resolu-
tons had been carried out. There
have been more than quarterly
inspections in the fire district,
he said, and other requests have
been carried out.
Chief Powers stated further
that if fire hazard was found
in the morning he went back in
the afternoon to see if it had
been removed, and that he never
had any trouble in having haz-
ards removed. He also stated that
several buildings had been con-
demned and torn down in the
fire district. Policemen are also
making reports on hazards, he
said, and are seeing that they
are corrected.
1t was suggested that names of
persons who fail to correct fire
hazards be published, and the
meeting acted by asking that this
be done.
It was shown that nothing had
been accomplished on providing

he was struck in the back of the
head with a brick, while helping
a deputy protect Tony Serpa, 23-
year-old prisoner at the Jail. The
mob had mistaken Serpa for one
of the killers of Hart, whose body
was found earlier in the after
noon by two duck hunters in the
bay near here.
Sheriff Emig's injuries became
known following an X-ray exami-
nation made today.
Early rumblings of mob vio-
lence against Holmes and Thur
man had been seen in large crowds
previously gathering around the
Jail here. Before the mob adj
vanced last night. o. M. Ennis,
manager of the Hart department
store was held prisoner by Sheriff
Emig when he appeared at the
Jail and told deputies;
"When you see me and my
crowd coming, drop your guns,
because we mean business" He
assertedly said then that Thur
mond and Holmes might be
lynched. Ennis was held inside
the jail but not booked. -..-...-.

time revealed Emig had asked him
to send the state militia to San
Jose. "The situation was one the
sheriff could handle and troops
were not necessary" the governor
said.

day to hear the bills presented
by a committee o: IL from the

Demand Tuesday Session
The Lieutenant Governor acted
after Jack Perilla, a representative
of the Provisional Committee for the
Workers Conference for Labor Le-
gislation to be held in Albany this
Sunday. Monday and Tuesday, and
the Committees Attorney, Mr.
Schwartzbart, demanded that joint
session of the legislature be called
Tuesday at 1 pm. to act on the bills
the Workers Conference delegation
will present.
Bray at first stated that he had
no power to call such session which
he said can be called only by mo-
ton of the members of the Senate
and the Assembly. Bray, who is also
the presiding officer of the Senate,
added that there was no reason for
the workers delegation going before
the legislature, but. that they should
place their demands before the
committees" of the house instead,
Force Monday Conference
Schwartsbart and Perilla pointed
out the Importance of the bills which
call for immediate relief and unem-
ployrnent insurance for the millions
of unemployed workers in New York
State and many demands for legis-
lation against wage-cuts and the
stagger system. Perilla said that the
Workers Conference would consist of
delegates from, workers organizations
all over the state, and that these
organizations were from many in
dustries.
Bray finally agreed to call the
Monday night conference to consi-
der a, joint session on Tuesday.
Boss Press Silent
The Albany papers yesterday sup
pressed all mention of the Workers
Conference or its representatives
placing the demand for a hearing
before the Lieutenant Governor.
Meanwhile worker delegates all
over the state are preparing to leave
for Albany to work out the bills to
be put before the legislature on Tues
day and to plan further action.

Council delegates will leave for the

Police Assault Laundry
Workers Picketing;
Send One to Hospital

NEW YORK.-While the capitalist
politicians talk about establishing
minimum wages for women workers,
the police under their jurisdiction
club and arrest women workers out
On strike at the Pretty Laundry, 585
Eagle Ave, Bronx, against their
fourth wage cut. The women work
ers have been getting $1.25 a day and
are not working full week. One
worker was taken to the hospital with
dislocated shoulder. In retaliation,
the men from the washing depart
ment joined the strike.
At the membership meeting Of the
Laundry Workers Industrial Union,
Thursday night they enthusiastically
decided to give all possible support to
the Pretty Laundry strike and to
continue mass picketing in spite Of
police terror.
Groups of union drivers from diff
ferent laundries are following the
scabs of the Pretty Laundry de-
nouncing them to the customers. 1t
was called to the attention of the
union that scabbing drivers tell their
customers that only the inside work
ers are on strike and that they have
nothing, to do with the inside girls.
The truth IS that the Laundry Work
ers Indu al Union is a union Of
all workers, inside and outside alike.

Grievance Committee broke through
the police restrictions against open
air meetings yesterday.
In preliminary preparation Of this
meeting, hundreds Of leaflets were
distributed to the workers who
showed their appreciation Of the
committees work by responding en-
masse. The leaflets told Of the dis
elimination attempted by the police
which would prevent the committee
from regaining for the workers their
mulcted fees.
When the police arrived they as
saulted the crowd and arrested
three workers. AS they pulled one
speaker off the platform another
took his place. But they hesitated
before acting a second time and the
meeting continued for IS minutes.
Reinforced by additional police, the
meeting was then only temporarily
broken up, but assembled to continue
