STEAMER FRIEDA
DEVELOPING LIST
SAILS OUT TODAY
FIRST THOUGHT CARGO OF
LUMBER WOULD BE RE-
MOVED; DECIDED TO SEND
VESSEL TO DESTINATION

After being partly stabilized
by pumping oil and water into the
port compartments, the Steam
ship Frieda sailed today from the
Porter Dock company's pier short
ly after noon today for New YORK.
The snip arrived in Key West
Tuesday night and was docked
Wednesday morning. A leak on
the starboard side had caused the
vessel to take on sufficient water
to cause Is degree list.
1t was at first thought the
necessary work of putting the ship
in condition to sail would entail
removal of the deck load of lum-
Der, of which there is $4,000
feet. The complete cargo is g.
$4,000 feet of Douglas fir and
spruce.
Manager Charles Taylor, of the
Porter company. had made all ar
rangements to handle the unload
ing operations and after signing
up about 100 men awaited the ar
rival of George E. Bernard, rep
resenting the United States Sal
wage Corporation.
Mr.. Bernard arrived from Mi
ami yesterday and Immediately
held a survey of the ship. At the
conclusion of the investigation
it was decided there would be no
necessity of removing the lumber.
Late yesterday afternoon the
pumps started to pump oil and
water and the ship was soon float
ing on an almost even keel. An
nouncement was made that the
voyage would be resumed this
morning.
The Frieda is bound from Los
Angeles, Calf, to New York. En-
tering the Caribbean Sea rough
weather was encountered and the
vessel began to list. When the
condition of the ship became such
as to warn of impending danger,
the list showing Is degrees, Cap
tain Gilway decided to put into
port and came to Key West.

Fall Elections Haunt
Congress

TaE Senate by a vote of 90 to o. following SIM
liar action by the House, overrode President
Roosevelt's veto and made into law the amend
ments to the Independent Offices Appropriation Bill
giving the veterans and the Federal employees sub
stantial compensation. The concessions thus gained
from Congress by the veterans and Federal en-
ployes in the face Of Roosevels violent opposition
are significant of the deep-going unrest among the
masses Of workers and farmers
The vote, granting the $228OOOOOO in World War
and Spanish War veterans benefits, and the restora
on Of the pay cuts Of Federal employees, was forced
from Congress by the mass pressure of the workers
and farmers. 1t was openly admitted in the press
that floods Of thousands of letters and kilograms
influenced the Senators in their vote and assured
the necessary two-thirds to override Roosevelts
veto
The vote demonstrates the emptiness of Roose-
vet's demagogic promises to the masses of workers
and farmers. It shows that these promises are be-
ginning to ring false in their ears. Roosevelts
demagogic utterances are beginning to wear thin
in the face Of stark poverty Of the masses. The
starving masses of workers and farmers are de-
handing food lodging and clothing-they are be-
ginning to see that Roosevelt's promises are not
edible and they are demanding security.
EVEN in the overriding of Roosevelt's veto, con-
cession forced by the masses Congress- which

did not give the veterans what was coming to them.
1t was compromise" or partial concession. The
Congress did not yet grant the cash payment of the
bonus. The vote of Congress overriding the Roose-
welt veto restores only part of what the Economy
Act took away from the veterans. The Economy
Bill wiped out small pensions to over 100000
veterans, the majority of whom could not prove
service connection. Over 10000 service connected
veterans were cut of from any benefits, by the
Veterans Administration.
The masses Of workers and farmers who through
their mass demands and mass pressure have forced
these concessions from Congress- must continue the
fight on the basis Of the demands put forward by
the Workers Ex-service Mems League and sup
