 Washington, Sept S-(UP)-The textile strike shaped today toward the mightiest test of the oposins forces of capital and labor the na- ton has ever seen.
 President William Green called on heads of unions marshaling A. 100000 members to meet with him and throw fun moral and financial support behind the cause of the textile strikers.
 Chairman George A. Sloan of the Cotton Textile institute said significantly:
 They'll need it."
 All along the struggling 1.500- mile strike front new crises seemed to impend.
 Green asked the presidents of alr international unions to meet with him here next week. He said there was no prospect of general strike but that the textile strike must be carried to a successful conclusion"

 CASE DECIDED
Commissioner Lynch Has Decided Against City
 of Waterbury

The first award in the local com pensation court in. accordance with a recent decision of the supreme court of errors was handed down to-day by Commissioner James M. Lynch in the case of Emilio Avan- cini of Litchtield against the City of Waterbury. The claimant is given compensation amounting to $11,051.36 on the grounds that he is totally incapacitated with sili- cosis. d lung condition arising out of the course of his employment at the Shepaug tunnel from 1928 to 1882.
 Several weeks ago the supreme court handed down a decision in the case of Bremen of New Haven against the Gordon company of New Haven. It was almost iden- tical with the case upon which the finding of to-day is made. In the New Haven case, Attorney Frank Daley of Branford and New Ha- ven, after losing out in his claim to the compensation and superior courts, brought an appeal to the supreme court.
 His arguments were upheld by the supreme court, and the deci- sions of the lower courts reversed. The workman he represented suf- fered with siIicosis but because he did not know what the symptoms were he failed to file his claim within the years time as pre- scribed by law. The compensa- tion commissioners of the state had ruled up to that time that the claim for compensation had to be filed up to that time that the claim for compensation had to be filed within a year from the time the symptoms of the disabling dis ease were established regardless of whether the workman. was aware of the symptoms or not.

PASSENGERS HAD LITTLE CHANCE
 TO BE RESCUED
Members of Crew Believe Many Were Trapped in
 Their Cabins
BY JOSEPH 6. WASNEY Copyright 1884. By United Press)


 Spring Lake, N. j., sept S-U. aboard the Morro Castle were cut off from rescue by the flames and were burned to death, members of the ships crew told the United Press to-day.
 r Sailors described passengers with their heads out of port holes path tetically begging for help as the life boats pulled away from the burning ship. There was no possi- bility of saving them. They were completely cut off by the flames. The fire apparently started in the writing room forward and had gained much headway when dis covered. The crew, quartered for ward, was aroused by the bells sounding general alarm. By the time they reached the scene, the flames were leaping many feet high. It was impossible to pene- trate to the corridors leading to passenger quarters amidships and aft, the surviving seamen said.
 The port side of the ship was a mass of flames from bow to stern within a few minutes. Only one life boat got over on the port side. Six, perhaps seven were launched from the starboard side. Approxi- mately all the survivors appeared here were members of the crew and it was believed that few of the passengers survived.
 James York, an oiler, Brooklyn, N. Y., told the United Press this story: ...
 T was asleep in my bunk on c deck. I heard a bell about 3:30 a. m. which I thought was an alarm clock. Just then sailor busted me one in my bunk and told me the ship was on fire. I rushed up to "B" deck and found

Spring Lake, N. J. Sept SUP,

Spring Lake, N. J. Sept SUPP Passengers of the holocaust ship Morro Castle were burned to death while they slept, Sonora Renee Mendez Capote, daughter of a celebrated Cuban patriot told the United Press today. She said her escape from death was mir aculous.'
 "I was on my way to Europe on mission for the Cuban bureau of general culture of which I am the director. But l am only going to make one more sea voyage homeward. I am not going to Europe. This sea trip, this hor- rible experience, has fulfilled my desire to travel off land.

 "'Come on, lady, climb through. Don't lose your nerve.'
 T took courage and managed to get through, though it was very narrow. I stood on deck about a quarter of an hour while the sail ors were trying to put out that terrible fire. I saw no passengers whatsoever. I was very strange. They must have been burned to death as they slept-something that almost happened to me.
 When our life boat came ashore had very little clothes-just a sort of dress.
 Some kind person gave me a coat. When I reached shore I found among the sailors the one who saved my life. If he hadn't encouraged me I'd never have got ten through that window. His name is Carl Prayor (Editors: of IT Central Avenue, Newark, O.,) I shall be eternally grateful.

TO THE VOTERS

I wish to say a few words in
regard to the statement made in
the Hardin Tribune Herald a
couple of weeks ago by Mr.. J. H.
Kifer in which he asked the people
of Big Horn county to support my
candidacy for sheriff this coming
November.
I think Mr. Kifer was absolutely
sincere in his remarks, and proved
that he was a good sport and a
good loser, and should either OF
our other opponents have won the
nomination, I am sure he would
have paid them the same compli-
ments he paid me
However, his statements seem to
have been misinterpreted by many,
and I wish to state here that in
case of my election, Mr.. Kifer will
not, nor did he expect at the
time he made this statement to
be, in any way connected with the
sheriff's force.
