DEAD GIRLS
LINKED WITH
SUICIDE PAIR
Several Witnesses Say
Dead Couple We're
With Children
BY Cyril Briggs


The analysis given in yesterdays
Daily Worker of the death OF three
children, whose bodies were found
last Saturday on a mountainside
near Carlisle, Pa, has been con-
firmed by the reluctant admission
of police, linking the dead children
to the unemployed couple that died
in suicide pact on the same day.
The bodies of this couple, found
near Altoona, Pa, were identified
yesterday by several persons as that
of a man and woman, who, with
the three children, asked for lodg-
tngs on the night of Nov, 81 at the
tourist camp of Mrs. S. Kroemer
of Gettysburg. Unable to secure
lodgings at that camp, the quintet
later applied at the camp of Mrs,
Kroemers daughter, Mrs. Snyder,
where they passed the night.
Described AS Down Hearted"
Another woman, Mrs. Dill, also
identified the three children as
having passed through her camp
at South Langhorne. She had pre-
viously identified photographs of
the dead man and woman as "the
down hearted couple who accom-
panied the children"
She will be taken to Altoona to
view the bodies of the dead couple
who are reported to have Travelled
as Mr.. and Mrs. j. C. Malone.
On Tuesday, Larry Carney, a
Philadelphia worker, positively
identified the dead man as Horace
Hughes, a worker he knew in Cali
fornia and met again in Philadel-
phia on the Monday before the
tragedy. Hughes told him then he
was up against it.
The wife of Carlisle, Pa, res
taurant proprier, also identified the
quintet as having stopped for a
meal at that restaurant. She de-
clared she remembered them be-
cause the man had asked to be
allowed to split his orders and
by conversation she had with one
of the little girls. The girl told
her, she said, that the family was
broke and jobless and often went
hungry.
Police Hidse Cause of Tragedy
While police yesterday claimed
that the three children had been
poisoned DR.. George R. Moffitt,
city pathologist of Harrisburgh, an
nounced that an autopsy revealed
no sign of poison. He advanced
the theory that the three small
girls had been slowly suffocated by
gentle pressure on the throat by
they slept, or by pillow held over
the nose and mouth. The bodies
of the children we're found on a
carefully-made bed of pine boughs
and blankets.
For days, Pennsylvania author
tiles and police and the capitalist
press concealed the real facts in
the case: the truth, now admitted
that the five dead persons must
be numbered in the long and ever
growing list of working class VIC
J Tins of capitalist chaos and crisis
of mass hunger and misery in the
midst of plenty and cynical denial
of adequate relief to the unem-
ployed and their starving families

Farley Forgot to Talk
About the Big Subsidies,
Hiding So Million Loss

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. An
analysis of the Post Office depart
mental figures revealed today that
Postmaster General Farley's an
nouncement of a s12,00o,000 sur
plus" for the past year actually is
a $50, 1000, 900 deficit.
Farley had announced that the
Post Office for the first time in 20
years had operated at profit.
But his calculations did not in
clude the large subsidies which the
Government pays to air and steam
ship lines for carrying mails. and the
costs of ranking" the mails of the
Congress. These items contribute
mainly to the departments losses.
Farley has been pursuing a policy
of slashing employees wages as far
as possible as we'll as cutting down
on whatever work protection rules
existed

very clearly that the sales tax means another cut
in their already low purchasing power
Let us put the matter very simply: here is
family, the head of which earns SOS week He must
pay 2 per cent sales tax on gas and electricity
bills Shoes shirts, drugs, almost everything that
he buys. He cannot get along without gas, cleo
tricity and clothes. These are essentials His pur-
chasing power is therefore reduced. This reflects
inevitably the workers table. II actually means
less food.
For the person on the relief rolls (there are be-
tween 100000 and 100000 heads of families in this
category the sales tax is disastrous. With rising
prices the small relief check amounting to about
IS week for family of five) buys even less than
heretofore.
The Times lies, consciously and deliberately, in
order to cover up the enormous crime against the
masses of the city of New York perpetrated by the
Morgan Rockefeller banks the real dictators of the

BOARD VOTES
FOR MEASURE
One More Hearing Due
Wednesday Before
Bill Is Signed

AS labor and small taxpayers or
carnations were preparing further
protest actions over Thanksgiving
Day, the bill for the per cent levy
lay on Mayor LaGuardia's desk yes
terday, after its adoption by the
Board of Estimate on Wednesday,
awaiting the signature of the Mayor.
The signature is, however, for
malty and the passage of the bill
is virtually assured unless between
now and Wednesday. the day that
LaGuardia is to affix his name to
the measure, a storm of protest is
unloosed which makes the Mayor
change his mind
The bill, which will levy tax of
2 per cent on all retail sales in New
York City, with the exception of
food and medicines prescribed by
a physician, will go into effect on
Dec. 10 and will run until Dec. 81,
1895. 1t is expected to yield
S40,000000, the funds to be used for
unemployment relief purposes.
Talk Tax Strike
A tax strike was among the meas
ures discussed in many sections of
the city, with many small mer-
chants and consumers declaring
themselves in favor of such move.
Large business opposition continues
to rail against the tax, proposing,
however, in its stead a 7-cent fare,
equally obnoxious to New York's
.oiling population.
Delegations to local aldermen are
being organized in a number OF
neighborhoods, the Daily Worker
learned yesterday. These delega-
tions will demand that the alder
men rescind their support of the
sales tax and endorse the principle
of taxation of the wealthy to
finance unemployment relief,
Arrangement of new loans from
the bankers, obviously arranged be-
forehand, are already under way.
Comptroller Joseph D. McGoldrick
has announced. 1t was on the basis
of a broad based" tax like the
sales impost that the bankers
agreed to loan funds for unemploy-
ment relief.
Tammany Squirms
Another public hearing, as re-
quired by statutory provision, will
be held on Wednesday morning at
City Hall. Directly after this hear
ing the sales tax will be signed by
LaGuardia.
Discussion ran high around the
city on the tax yesterday, with the
strategy of Tammany coming in for
much comment. The Tiger forces,
after their upper circles had agreed
to unite with Fusion to carry out
the wishes of the Morgan Rookie
Teller banks, are somewhat appre-
hensive over the political results of
the entire matter. They are care
fully terming the sales tax, "the
LaGuardia plan" although they are
as much party to it as the Mayor.
With this in mind, they are pro-
posing some concessions in the
gross income tax and the business
tax. A number of Democratic
Aldermen who hail from the work.
ing class neighborhoods have an
anxious ear cooked to local feeling,
their nervousness being in direct
proportion to the amount of or
ganized protest being led by the
Communist Party.

ACTION WEEK
Misstatements- in Press
Are AssaiIed by
LID. Leader

Mrs. jamie Patterson, mother
of Haywood Patterson, arrived in
New York yesterday from Chat
tanOOga, Tenn, to take an ac-
tive part in the work of the In
ternational Labor Defense and
the National ScottsborO- Herndon
Action Committee campaign to
force the U. S. Supreme Court
to hear the appeals and reverse
the lynch convictions against
Haywood Patterson and Clarence
Norris.
Mrs. Patterson has completely
repudiated Samuel S. Leibowitz,
and the so-called American
Scottsboro Committee" who
claimed that she was opposed 10
the 1. L. d. leadership and con-
duct Of the ScOttsboro defense,
and even had Harlem police
mans wife impersonate her in a
speech over the radio.
The united front struggle for the
lives and freedom of the nine in
nocent Scottsboro lads was further
developed and strengthened yester-
day with the effecting of united
front between the National Student
League and the Student League for
Industrial Democracy for nation
wide student demonstration from
Dec. to Dec. 7, to demand the re-
lease of the Scottsboro boys and
the dropping of the instruction"
charges against Angelo Herndon,
heroic young Negro leader of the
working class.
Increasing mass support around
the organization of delegations to
visit the Offices of the New York
Amsterdam News, Harlem Negro
reformist paper, and the Jewish So
cialist Forward, to demand a retrac-
ton of their ISLANDERS against the
defenders of the boys and correc-
ton of their deliberate distortions
of the facts in the case, was also
reported by the National Scots
boro- Herndon Action Committee at
1916 Seventh Avenue.
Nation" Distortions Protested
The International Labor Defense,
through its acting national secre-
tary, Anna Damon, also sent a
sharp protest to the Nation" liberal
weekly, against the false and mis-
leading statements contained in an
editorial in its Nov. Is issue.
The National Student League an
nounced that directives had already
been sent out both by that organ
ization and the Student League for
Industrial Democracy to their chap
tiers suggesting the setting up Of
committees, including Y.MCA's,
clubs and student groups of all
kinds to broaden the campaign in
the colleges for the Scottsboro boys
and Herndon, and to raise money
for their defense.

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
"

The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a perfect movement without
any discomfort at the time, or after.
The dose of liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
SIENNA is a natural laxative. 1t does
not drain the system like the cathar-
tics that leave you so thirsty. DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on SIENNA for its
laxative action. 1t gently helps the
average PERSONS bowels back to
regularity.
You can always get DR.. CaldwelI's
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready
for use. Member N. r. A.
