BRITAIN IS LAX
IN PALESTINE,
SAYSAUSTIN
International News Service

AhLeEnatIOnal news BeFVlce
Great Britain will be forced tx
increase her armed forces in Pales
tine for protection Of the Jewish
population, Senator Austin (R0 o.
Vermont, who returned recently
from a tour Of the Holy Land
predicted today.
Declaring Great Britain has
been lax in administering hel
mandate in Palestine, Senator
Austin said self-interest will make
stronger enforcement necessary
He said:
"The Ieniency Of Great Brit
ain in dealing with Arab strikes
and her failure to develop af-
firmatively the ObjectiveS Of the
mandate eliminating in a ma
tiOnaI home for Jews without
violating the rights and religion
of the nOn-Jewish population,
has encouraged Arabs to believe
the mandate can either be alb
rOgated or modified.
"NOw Great Britain finds that
with $4,000 troops she has been
unable to make the life of any
person in Palestine secure
against violence. Demands Of
the Arabs on the one hand for
abrOgatien Of the mandate and
the ambition Of Jews for some
thing more than the mandate
gave them-namely,> for q Jew
ish State-will become more and
more vigorous If the mandatory
administration continues to be
lenient and weak.
"Great Britain'S imperial pol
icy and her general interest
seem to dictate a more ener-
getic and firm execution of the
mandate, because conditions
about the Mediterranean neceS-
state her having a powerful sta
tiOn near to the Suez canal as
well as an air base connecting
her with India, Australia and
New Zealand Independent Of
the canal"

Boy Accused
Of Hammer
Murder

UNION CITY, N. j., Jan. / Il.
N.S0.-Fifteen-year-old Jerry May
will receive a dismal New Year
present today.
He will be arraigned on a first
degree murder charge, thus diSG
placing 16-year-old Jacob Cimi-
engo as the youngest person ever
charged with first degree murder
in New Jersey. Cimiengo, who
was convicted of killing a Mount
Holly farmer, is awaiting electro
cution in the State prison at
Trenton.
Jerry wanted a dollar to buy his
mother a gift yesterday, the police
said, and when his requests for the
money we're ridiculed he beat his
six-year-old cousin, Sergi Sierra,
to death with a hammer and
stabbed the boys father, Joseph
Sierra, 80, three times.
Jerry, a model pupil in the
eighth grade at school, slashed at
the elder Sierra first, the police
charge. Then when Sergi entered
the room, saw hi father bleeding
and screamed, the youth is alleged
to have snatched up a hammer
and struck him over the head.

NesO Year for NeIO
War on Crime

Is it not high time we as Amer.
leans and citizens of these United
States step to the front and stop
the actions of the type of people
of the underworld rowing the
country at large plundering, rob
bling, and kidnapping.
To me it is a disgrace and an
insult not only to our country but
to the stars and Stripes which SO
proudly fly over it, and which we
love.
How much longer do we expect
this terror to last?
When you think Of letting our
loyal proud Americans, Col. and
Mrs. Charles Lindbergh, and their
son leave this country Of ours and
make their home in a foreign
country, it is q pretty bad state
Of affairs.
So let the new year of 1896 be
q banner year and let us-I mean
we American people-Show these
gangsters, kidnapers or whatever
YOU wish to call them, that we are
running this country and not
them. -

An infant 1886, ushered in with
the expenditure Of millions of dol
lars, was greeted by the nation
today in the wake of the most
riotous New Years celebrations
since 1929.
New York led the big parade of
celebrations reported throughout
the country. Before midnight, at
least one million persons poured
into brightly-lighted Tim IS
Square and the theatrical district
Immediately adjacent thereto.
Celebrants throughout the ma
lions were comparatively orderly.
Police maintained a tolerant at
titude toward funmakers and ar
rests of those inclined toward ex-
uberance were conspicuous by
their rarity.
BOykin's Plight
President Roosevelt and his
family spent a quiet New Year Eve
in the White House. Official
Washington, and the diplomatic
corps of foreign powers, joined
in the merrymaking.
The best chuckle Of New Year
Eve was occasioned by the plight
of Representative Frank w. Boy
kin, of Alabama. The Southern
Democrat was forced to abandon
his automobile trip to the Capital
when a COW meandered onto the
highway, putting the Boykin
machine out of commission.
Geographical locations were
meaningless as the celebrations
took full sway from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from the Gulf
to the Northern border. Hotel

LEWIS GREETS
MINERS FOR
NEW YEAR
BY JOHN L. LEWIS
International President, United
Mine Workers Of America

written expressly for International
News servioe)
Labor enters the New Year with
a determination that it will con-
tinue the very definite progress
achieved in the last few years.
In the first place, the year 1886
will witness a strong campaign
for organization of the unorga-
nized workers in mass production
industries. This movement Is al
ready under way and progress is
recorded.
Hits Craft Unions
There are hundreds of thou
sands Of these unorganized peo-
pie who desire to be organized
into industrial unions, and those
Of us who believe in industrial
unionism will extend to them all
possible assistance toward the
realization Of their ambition.
The craft union plan in such in
dustries is entirely out-of-date and
ineffective. 1t must give way to
modern ideas and requirements.
The new year also will witness
a vicious and concerted attack
upon organized labor by the forces
that seek it's destruction. Already
this assault is under way in the
courts and in legislative bodies.
Leaders of this attack seek to
reduce the workers Of the nation
to the old-time depths Of degra-
dalton which prevailed for many
years.
Must Keep Gains
In the year just ahead labor
will be called upon to defend the
gains it has made. but this is nc
new task for labor and it will not
shirk the duty and the obligation
with which it confronted Labor's
gains must and will be maintained
and consolidated. This can be
done by industrial organization
with greater hope of success than
by craft organizations.

America enters the year 1886 in
