Finds u. s. Fund
of 100000,
Gets Fourth

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Is 0.N.
s.. - Michael Edelman'S "dis-
covery" of an untouched and un-
claimed fortune of $16O, 900. repre-
senting money accruing to three
Federal courts during a period OF
so years, will entitle him to ere
ward" of $4,000, it was revealed
today.
Most of the money represents
proceeds in equity. bankruptcy
cases for which owners never made
claim, bribe money turned in by
officials, and funds left by ship
owners, due but never collected by
deceased or deserting seamen.
After Edelman clipped off" the
secretary of revenue, the State
started escheat proceedings, ask
ing that the Federal court turn
the funds over to the revenue
chief.
Edelman's "cut" represents his
Is per cent share for discovery of
the fund. Another lawyer. Philip
Klein, will receive $4,000, or Is
per cent, to which he is entitled
by virtue of his appointment as
escheater, q private citizen desis-
mated to protect the States in
tereSts."

CLUE FAILS

JOLIET, ILL.,, Dec. IS G.N.So.
Authorities searched the Joliet
and Elgin areas today for a hide
out used by Alvin Karpis, John
Hamilton and other surviving
members of the John Dillinger
gang of desperadoes.
Belief that such lair existed
was based on the story of Jack
Geonia, ex-convict turned Govern,
ment informer. that he had been
poisoned by Hamilton and Karpls
when he tried to lure the public
enemies into a Federal trap.
Hamilton is sought as a MUIR
dered and surviving leader OF the
Dillinger gang, while Karpis is
wanted for the 100000 kidnap-
ing of Edward Bremen, st. Paul
banker.

Talk Things Over
Utility men are showing a more
amicable spirit; they are talking
things over with the President
and his aides instead of running
into court to block the Presidents
power policies. When they leave
the White House they agree that
"it was worth while talking things
over"
The President has never said he
was going to extend the IVA ex-
pertinent into every State. But
he has said that the results in
cheaper power in the Tennessee
Valley could and would be used
as a "yardstick," by which people
might find out what proper rates
should be.
He made public the New York
power investigation report, which
showed that there were heavy
charges for the distribution of
power; charges which could be re-
duced to the IVA levels. In that
report it was shown that the
electric rates in Washington, D.
c., are down to that low level.
Going to Clean House
1t appears to be leading to the
point where the Power Trust is
going to clean house and get as
much water as possible out of the
power stocks.
Also, that power companies are
developing a new business, sell
ing power for more and more
household appliances. This Is
looked upon as a gigantic field in
the electricity business and is said
to be producing a volume which
in itself has a lowering effect on
rates.

AFTER 81 YEARS,
GOING STRONG

"Uncle Tudie" will be 81 years
old tomorrow.
To the average citizen the mere
phrase "Uncle Tudie" quite likely
means nothing at all, but to
persons who live anywhere near
the Fairfax County Court House
it applies to one person only and
that man who occupies the po-
Sition of clerk of the Circuit
Court, F. w. Richardson.
AS a matter of fact, the peo-
pile of Fairfax have been so used
to seeing Mr.. Richardson in the
office of court clerk that his
presence has come to be regarded
as almost automatic.
But, then, it is only logical to
expect that it would, inasmuch as
he has been holding that position
for a little more than 54 years.
What's more, his father before
him held it for an even half CEN
tury. Fairfax county without a
Richardson as clerk of the Circuit
Court just wouldn't be Fairfax
county in the minds OF the
oldsterS.
Mr.. Richardson was born in the
town of Fairfax, December 16,
1853, in a house which stood on
the site now occupied by the
Town Hall and not more than two
doors from his present residence.

With meats, especially pork leading

Meats, for instance, were 81 per

Although the reports issued in
the past by the Department of La

certain date were highest since a

While the Midwest drought has
been an important factor in raising
the prices of food to the consumers,
the criminal A,A.A. crop reduction
program, the slaughter of millions

HOoU To End By0Odshed in Strike

general strikes, against the terror.
The example Of the militant workers and the
A. F. Of L. local unions in Hazoltown Pa where
one-days general protest strike was carried through
yesterday, should be followed in hundreds of cities
Such city-wide, local general strike actions
should be followed by national general strike if
the terror continues, to establish once and for all
the workers right TO organize, strike and picket
This must be the workers answer to the killing and
woundlng of textile workers who exercise their
right to strike and picket
In the textile areas the job is to make the fly
ing squadrons, the mass marches and the mass
picket lines bigger and more powerful. Where there
was hundred on the line yesterday there must
be 2 thousand on the line tomorrow. And then
5000 10000; and 10000 Not only textile workers,
but non-textile workers should be drawn in Promi-
nent local people, small business people, profess
Sional people, ntellectuals and farmers should be
drawn into the active fight on the picket lines and
in the marches.
The Communist Party urges the textile workers
to go forward Refuse to follow German, Peel &
Co. on the road Of retreat, the road that will lead
inevitably to defeat. Continue the fight for your
demands. Close every mill with your flying squad
rons and picket lines
Never return to the mills under the miserable
starvation conditions you left!

To questions from the workers on
what to do despite this attempt to

C.P. Anniversary Hailed
By Chicago Workers {;
Vote Strike Solidarity

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. Ia The
workers of Chicago Saturday night
TANNED the Ashland Auditorium to
greet the Communist Party on the
occasion of its Fifteenth Anniver-
sary. Workers from the yards
from the steel mills of South Chi
cago, from the metal shops, from all
other industries, the unemployed
Negro, women and youth, came to
greet and hail the Communist Party
for the splendid revolutionary lead
ership that it has given to these
workers in their daily struggles.
With tremendous enthusiasm the
workers assembled in the hall voted
to send a telegram of greetings and
pledge of solidarity to the textile
strikers. The telegram was for
warded to the National Textile
Workers Union and the United Tex
tile Workers Union.
The Central Committee sent a
special message to the celebration
of the 18th Anniversary of the Com
munist Party, pointing out that the
Convention to organize the Commu-
mist Party took place in the city of
Chicago. The message of the Cen
trail Committee, in part, stated:
1.-THE Central Committee of the
CP.US.A. warmly greets not alone
the workers who are now members
of the Communist Party, but also
those who are members of the So
cialist Party and the Y.P.SL., and
non Party workers, whose true pro-
letarian class instinct has led them
to join in celebrating the birth OF
the revolutionary party of their
class.
"At the moment of the biggest
strike in American history, follow
ing an ever-mounting strike move
ment in many industries, and or
new high plane, urgent needs OF
our class demand a united front
without delay, and in spite of all
who can oppose united struggle only
out of interests opposed to those Of
the working class"

slightest evidence for their charges
1t is highly significant that the
two officers making the "incen-
diary" charges did So only after
private conferences with the Ward
officials and lawyers, and their
stories have a highly suspicious
similarity.
Former OiIer Testifes
Highly significant is the statement
made yesterday to the Daily Worker
by a former oiler on the Moro
Castle, who asked that his name be
withheld unless needed in an Off
ciel investigation.
"The Ward Liner, Moro
Castle" he said, chat burned last
Saturday, eight miles off Asbury
Park, with a total of $50 dead and
missing, recalls to my mind trip
that made on the MORO Castle
as an oiler, The engine was badly
in need of repair, in fact we had
to tie it down with rope to keep
it from vibrating TO pieces.
With the exception of the pas
Sengers quarters, the ship was gem
orally dirty. The wood work was
dry, one of the boys remarked at
that time that the ship was

The shipping master, at that
time was a short stocky man of
Spanish decent by the name Of
Angelic. If he is still living and
with the company, good drill
ing on the witness stand would be
interesting, he knows plenty"
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union, from its headquarters at 49,
Broad St., yesterday announced the
preparations for q public Inquiry
Commission in the attempt to gel
at the real story of the MORO
Castle disaster.
The Commission will hold a mas.
meeting on Monday night, 8 p. NJ.

the Moro Castle crew will speak.

where our members were conspicu-
Gus by their absence.
Such a situation has to be reme-
died without delay by boldly, skill
fully and Systematically keeping
this question alive, and by explain
ing and convincing our membership
of the necessity Of fighting against
war and fascism in order to main
tain and improve our working con-
ditions and in order to make it
possible to build our unions.
Urges More Committees
We are to see to it that func-
tioning anti-war committees are
set up on q local an5 shop basis,
directing by a responsible leading
member.
The New York District of the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union, as q result of an intensified
campaign that has been carried on
for the past few weeks in connec-
ton with the US. Congress Against
War and FasciSm, will send from
eight to ten delegates from its
local and shops.
All the other unions should do
their utmost to send similar dele
cations in proportion to their mem
bership, so that the preparations
for this congress shall be used to
convince the workers of the neces-
sity of fighting against war and
fascism, and that the congress itself
shall give new inspiration and slim
illus to the delegates to carry on
the work after the congress and
bring about an increasing mass
movement, rooted in the shops and
factories, that will be a stumbling
block to both fascism and war.

methods that really make a strike effective, that
close the mills tight that force the bosses to grant
the workers demands
The bosses, knowing the effectiveness Of these
methods resort to terror and violence in an effort
to break the strike, in effort to drive the work
ers back into the mills under the same old star
vation
THE first job of the textile workers, and of the
working class as a whole therefore is to expose
the criminal violence Of the bosses to show their
vicious, strkebreaking hirelingS in local. state and
Federal Offices, and to arouse the broad masses of
the people against them and their murderous acts.
In other words, instead of following the vacil-
lating hely-crawlng policies Of Mr.. German, re-
treating in the face Of the terror the workers must
arouse greater against the terror. Workers,
farmers intelectuals middle class people, must all
be drawn in to defend the workers rights.
A. this moment al efforts should be devoted to
arousing mass support for the spreading of the
strike for the defense of the strikers All workers
organizations should react to every instance of boss
class terror sending resolutions and kilograms to
the responsible authorities holding meetings of pro-
test, carrying through gigantic protest demonstra
tions and organizing sympathetic strikes including
