M'GRADY HOPEFUL

Conferees at Least Are No

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Edward F..
McGrady, Assistant Secretary of La
Dor, was sufficiently encouraged today
by developments In the anthracite
coal wage conferences to declare,
Things look better" The parleys re-
sumed at noon today.
McGrady, since last Thursday In
conferences with operators and repre-
sentatives of the United Mine Work.
ers, hastened to add: Il mean, they
are not farther apart. Nothing def
mite has been agreed upon"
Striving to avert suspension OF
operations in the Pennsylvania indus
try, employing 100000 men, McGrady
planned another conference this morn
ing Sessions have been held since
February "a in an effort to write a
new contract. The old one expired
March 81 and the mines now are being
operated under temporary extension.
Its like a jig-saw puzzle" said one
Of the conferees. I'VE keep shifting
the pieces in an effort to solve the
puzzle. Virtually every kind of a pro-
posal has been made. but it cannot be
said that there has been definite
agreement on anything"
Slogans now epitomize the respec-
tive stand of the two sides. To the
operators proposals the miner workers
reply, mo backward step" And the
operators in turn resist the demands
of the miners with mo increase in
costs
McGrady said he would drive the
conferees as hard as he could. The
conference adjourned over the week
end, however, and al: all-night session,
suggested yesterday, did not mate

trial yesterday ordered separate trials
for McDermott and Albert S. Sutton.
Washington gambler. Cleary, who has
spent almost half his 35 years in
prison. says Sutton hired the killers
to get Mcdonald because the latter
was suspected of tipping off police to
Sutton's gambling activities. Sutton
will be tried here as soon as the jury
disposes of McDermott's case.
Asked why he tried to kill McDon-
old, Cleary said he. McDermott and
Claude Bailey agreed to do away with
the gambler at the request Of Albert
Sutton. Bailey was fatally wounded
in an attempt to escape from Lorton
Reformatory last August.
Tells of Wiring Car.
Cleary detailed how he, Bailey and
Myers wired McDonalds Car with
dynamite and nitroglycerin. After the
plant" failed. Cleary said, Mcdonald
began running around town with a
couple of guns" looking for the men
who were after him.
The conspirators next planned to
buy the machine gun in New York,
Cleary said.
The delay and failure of the mur-
der plans finally resulted in Sutton's
hiring a first-class killer, Cleary said.
Guess who's coming?" Cleary
quoted Sutton as asking.
'Who?" Cleary replied.
"Tony-Tony Cugino."
Cugino hanged himself in New
York cell more than year ago, after
detailing his bloody career to police
According to Cleary, Cugino wanted
to go take Mcdonald in his joint"
but the other gangsters advised more
caution.
Defense Attorney Fuller Bernard,
jr., objected when Cleary told of con-
versations between the conspirators.
The judges ruled. however, that
Cleary;s details would be admitted up
to the time of the Staying.
Cleary told how he acted as the
contact man to spot Mcdonald. He
said at one time he was trailing Nc
Donald when the gambler strolled over
to him and asked for a light for his
cigarette.
The informer said Mcdonald looked
at him intently. Later, Cleary said,
the gang found Mcdonald talking to
a group of friends in downtown WASH
ington. Cugino, according to Cleary,
wanted to blast the whole crowd, but
was restrained.
Cleary said he told Cugino that
Mcdonald was talking to the law"
Seen With Family.
The Philadelphia gangster said at
another time the mob saw Mcdonald
walking toward his car with his wife
and child. Cleary declared the gang
was watching McDonald's home with
field glasses.
He testified Cugino wanted to kill
Mcdonald with rife, but the other
gangsters were afraid OF a miss or
some mishap to the woman and child.
Several days later, Cleary said, they
heard Mcdonald was drunk In down.

at his Takoma Park home and COM
plete the job.
He named those at the scene as him
self. Cugino, Myers, McDermott and
Bailey. He said the gang was nervous
during the long wait and drank much
liquor.
Cleary said that when Wilson's car
drove up the gang opened fire.
Tony just stood there and emptied

I also found that the slogan,
"overtake and SurpaSS the capital
ist countrieS!" was far from being
carried through.
Certainly, new plants had been
built in many places. And near
by stood the new workers
quarters. But not only their
quantity, but the quality of work
manship was absolutely unsatiS-
factory. They could not be COM
pared with any of the workers
quarters I had seen in Europe,
Mostly simple buildings, erected
without care, without sense of
beauty and taste. these new
"cities," two years after their con-
Struction, already looked shabby
and old.
In Siberia I saw huts of grass
and clay. Near Stalingrad, in
Baku and Erivan people lived in
the most impossible dwellings,
made of a mixture of any avail
able material, such as bricks,
stones, earth, straw and clay.
They lived together with their
cattle and poultry, under terribly
unsanitary conditions.
Returning from such Journeys
to Moscow or Leningrad, I always
had the impressions of coming
back from the middle ages to the
twentieth century, notwithstand-
ing the difficulties in the big
cities.

the streets and asked how the situ-
alto nabroad was. All people told
me all the same thing, that the
bread rationS for the wives and
children of the workers and en-
ployes were not distributed at all.
The situation was even worse
in the villages. The obligatory
deliveries to the state" or in plain
language, the requisitionS, often
did not leave the peasant with the
minimum required for the barest
mode of living. Thus he consumed
the seeds reserved for planting
and still he was at a loss what
to eat.
Mutiny Evident
When I crossed the mountain
chain of the caucasus. I thought
I had left the territory Of the
U. S. s. R. Everywhere I found
almost open hostility towards the
Soviet power. The nationalist
Georgians and Armenians refused
to talk Russian, and displayed
yelled and sometimes, even quite
apparent sabotage. Even some OF
the highest functionarieS showed
disdain of Soviet law. The con-
ductors on The trains openly
speculated with food and indus
trial goods, declaring that they

of 9O-120 rubleS a month.
At Tiflis and Erivan I more than
once heard open eXclamationS OF
the following nature: I'VE, work
ers and peasants, who made the
revolution, are treated like dogs"
Another thing was the corrup-
ton amongst high functionaries.
Often I would have to see some
comrade in a responsible part.
When I would inquire as to his
whereabouts in the office he was
supposed to be holding, I would
be greeted with a funny smile:

trips were old party members, the
majority of them occupying high
positions in the Communist inter
national.
The interpreters were selected
with the same care. Before the ar
rival of a delegation the leaders
and interpreters receive detailed
instructions how to go to "work"
on the delegates. On the border,
as we'll as in Moscow, q great
spontaneous" reception would be
organized in which hundreds and
even thousands Of workers took
part by order Of the party with
red banners, revolutionary slogans,
and a band.
To refute the argument Of a
staged tour, visiting delegates were
offered to choose freely" what
they wanted to see out Of dozen
factories, schools, nurseries, clinics,
and other institutions. They were
also offered to elk their own"
itinerary-the Caucasus. Crimea.
Ukraine, UralS, etc.
Once only, during the three
years of my stay, did it happen
that a French delegate wanted to
see the concentration camps on
the shores of the White Sea. He
was told that "the season was
not favorable"
Rush Through Tour
The fundamental principle Of
these delegation tours consists in
not giving the visitors a minutes
chance to think things over. They
are literally dragged from one
place to the other, from a recep-
tion at Moscow Soviet to some
commissar or to the old Boil
sheviks in the Kremlin. They are
bluffed by big names and ex-
quiSite dinners. This method aims
at making them easy victims of
skillful propaganda.

when, after touring as a mem
ber of a delegation, I Travelled
alone.
Together with a foreign work
erS' delegation, I saw the UralS,
the cities of SverdlovSk, Tcheli-
abinsk, Magnitogorak. I visited
Samara on the Volga, some sell
lective and state farms, and Len
ingrad.
And, quite alone. I visited Stall
ingrad, where the big tractor
plant stands. Then saw Rostov-
on-the-Don, with its railway re-
pair shops; Baku, the city Of oil:
TifiS, the Oriental city Of the
Caucasus; Erivan, close to the
Turkish border, below the Ararat;
Batum, the subtropical harbor on
the Black Sea; Sukhum and
Sotchi, bathing resorts; Vladikad-
vkaz, with its dozens Of Causa-
sian tribes and its multitude of
languages.
No official guides accompanied
me on these journeys. AS Soviet
functionary, was frequently
charged with the examination Of
the state of affairs in various
places.
Provinces Suffer
These journeys made it clear
that Moscow does not represent
the U. S. S. r. In the capital, in
spite of the great difficulties,
everything was much better than
in the provinces. There, the
workers still had their modest
bread rationS, although they had
to stand in line often to get it.
But in the provinces, only two
thirds or even less of the ration
was distributed. employees some
times getting only as much as one
