they were met by drunken deputies
who refused to let them relieve the
pickets, saying that the pickets
would not need relief because the
picket line would be dispersed that
night. The pickets came at once to
a meeting of the Unemployed Local
Of the National Miners Union, then
in session. After hearing this re-
port, the unemployed voted to go
out to all the camps and mobilize
pickets to smash through the depu-
ties line. esr
At 1880 pm there were $50
miners and their wives and daugh-
tiers assembled in the union. hall,
ready to leave for Gomerco. "A short
meeting was held, and in the mean
time trucks were modified to carry
the pickets. By 1870 pm. the state
highway was lined with cars and
trucks, led by truckload of women
from the Women's Auxiliary of the
N. M. U. At the entrance to the
company property, the pickets
formed in lines four abreast, with
the women leading the line of
march, singing strike songs.
At the tipple three deputies cars
were drawn across the road and
armed thugs halted the march. The
women improvised verses to the
tune of labor songs, calling the dep
utines "brave men" for facing un-
ermed workers with guns. "We'll go
{ % the 5 and TO-" they shouted "and
uy us water pistols if you don't
watch out" The lines pushed for
ward and finally the deputies drew
back and the march surged on.
Cheering and shouting to the pickets
still on duty, they ran across the
tracks to the cages where the pickets
were stationed. "This is your picket
relief" they shouted. They in
structed the night shift to Ego get
some rest: well take care of The
mine. We're parked for the night"
All night the throng of men and
women stayed at Gomerco.
Wednesday morning at am, a
ltruckload of pickets came to relieve
the night shift and reported that
the deputies had not attempted to
stop them from entering the COM
lpany property. The mass of pickets
who had spent the night were in
Nructed to return to their homes.

agreed upon between myseif,
Alex Mckeown and Mr.. Leader
of the union, who promised to do
all in their power to prevent
violence among the strikers"
Further on, lie Strange outlines
some details Of the cruel pact drawn
up between the police and the A.
F. of L. assassins;
81 told MIR. Leader last night
that we had complaints of pick
eds surrounding the Cambria mill
calling the workers (boss-term
for scabs) vile names. He said
he would stop it and added they
were having a meeting at which
he would take it up with the
strikers directly. My informa-
ton is that MIR. Leader was
preoent at the time this trouble
started and left before it was
ovsr."
Where Did He Hurry
Where did Mr.. Leader hurry to
when he saw deadly results Of his
betrayal? Well, current word has
it that he was called in at another
meeting of his brother officials to
decide, next on the list, the fate of
the impending general strike in the
hosiery industry which was sched-
uled for Sept. LIST. AT the conclu-
sion of this secret conference, the
newspapers, falsely dating the in
formation as from Washington, d.
c. announce in large screamers:
LABOR BODY Av ERTs
THREATENED STRIKE IN
HOSIERY INDUSTRY"
"Forty Thousand Workers Were
To Have Walked Out Today In
Union Dispute"
In this wholesale manner, the A.
r. of L. leadership, composed of
prominent Socialists" has dug the
blue hawks talons deep into the
flesh of the rank-and-file. Co
operating with Senator Wagner of
New York, the following plan of
betrayal was drawn up to be put
into immediate effect and sealing
the fate of the strike which the
workers have been looking forward
20:
L. The strike is called off at
once.
2. Union representative and EN-
ployers are to resume negotiations
tomorrow for an agreement by COLI
lective bargaining.
8. If after % days no agreement
is reached the entire question is to
be submitted to the National Labor
Beard and left in that body's hands
This brazen policy of handing the
workers over to the N.R.A. when
workers show determination to
struggl beyond respectable
limits" is doomed to violent
death, if the Cambria strikers
heroic fight can be taken as an
example of what the rank and-file
mean to do. Even Senator Wagner
has been forced to admit that "the
mill is the only one in the Phila-
delphia area that has refused to ac-
cept the Boards proposed settle
ment of the strike"
The rest of the hosiery workers
throughout the state of Pennsyl-
vania can put an end to the Jug
giery of their lives, and win
victory. by repudiating their ALL.
leadership, by taking matters into
their own hands, and thus redeem
the split blood of their Cambria
mill brothers.

ing by doing with the McKeowns

The office of the local branch of the home loan bank will be in the post office building on Grand street. This afA ternoon or tomorrow Attorney Burns will have his ofiice in a po- sition to entertain requests for federal loans on local houses now hard pressed due to banks and private individuals being unable to carry them further.

It is likely that other branches will be opened in Connecticut. Danbury is calling for a branch and MT. Kennedy stated today that branches would be opened as quickly as possible and in accordance with demands made.
 Today applicants for loans were coming in from Connecticut home owners steadily. On the opening day of the New Haven headquar- ters there was a very heavy rush but the applications have steadied down to an orderly stream.
 The bank will be made on houses vaduel at not more than $20,000 and not chased as rental income properties. No loan will be made in excess of $14,000.

COnvicts Sought Oklahoma City, Aug 2-UP)- Police authorities and department of justice agents co-operated to- day in an extensive search for es- convicts believed to have been re- sponsible for the Kidnapping of Charles F. Urschel, wealthy oil man.
 Police throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri were warned to watch for the des- peradoes, headed by Wilbur Un- derhi1l, convicter murderer, and Bob (Squirit-eye) Brady, bank bandit. Authorities were more than usually alert for reports of suspic- ious characters because Underhill and Brady are believed to have been the men that elIded q heavy cordon of federal, state, and city police two days ago dressed in womens clothing.
 The men are wanted also on charges of participating in the Union Station massacre at Kansas City, June IT. Ever since their es- cape, with other convicts, from the Kansas Penitentiary Memorial Day they have left.a trail of violence and terrorism in the southwest.

 Albany, N. r., Aug. 2-(UP) -| Federal and state operatives based their hope for immediate solution of the James J. OConnell, Jr., kid- naping case today on the fact that every bill of the $40,000 ransom was cleverly marked.

Four Youths Are
 Killed in Camp
(continued from Page 1.)

235 men were stationed. Captain Melvin B. Fuller, in charge of the camp, said the bolt evidently followed electric wires into the recreation tent, where most of those killed or injured were list ening to a radio. Schwartz and Aikens were in a nearby tent, con- valescing from minor injuries con- sisting of a broken finger and a fractured ankle, respectively.
 Army trucks were pressed into service to carry the victims to St Mary's hospital, 4 1-2 miles away. As one truck was leaving the camp it hit telephone pole and Law renee Cordner of Palmer, Mass. riding beside the driver, suffered fractured ribs and perhaps other internal injuries.
 At the hospital doctors worked over Aikens, Nasby, Schwartz,
