Increase In Address
at Conference.

Fear Of increased unemployment
next winter was voiced last night by
William Green, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, speaking at
dinner concluding a one-day con-
ference Of farm representatives.
The conference, held at the Raleigh
Hotel, was called by the Executive
Committee of Southern agricultural
commissioners and farm leaders tn
discuss measures for raising farm
income.
Mr.. Green said "a new psychological
condition must be created to establish
an equilibrium between production and
consumption, which are out Of balance
today. He pledged the help of the
A. F. OF L. In obtaining enactment of
farm legislation when farmers them
selves agree upon the program they
want"
Louis j. Taber, national master of
the Grange, scored restrictive provi-
sions of the Farm Act, and Represent
ative Lemke of North Dakota assailed
the administration farm policy as a
dismal failure"
Chairman Smith OF the Senate Az.
riculture Committee was toastmaster.
The conference earlier adopted res
olutions calling for mandatory money
legislation Ito raise the agricultural
price level to at least that of 1926"
shifting of taxes away from consumers
and abolition of the capital gains tax"

How young people feel about drink

comments:
Il think a man should get drunk

strained when they are sober" /.
"If you 60 out with crowd, you've
got to" IT drink, but I'm not

Holds Secret of Scranton
Explosion.
BY the Associated Press.

SCRANTON, Pa, June 3-A barrier
Of debris and deadly gas held the
secret today of an explosion which
killed 10 miners in the Eastern Penn
sylvania anthracite fields second ma
jor disaster in two months.
State mine inspectors who donned
gas masks and went with rescue
squads TOO feet beneath the earth's
surface to remove bodies and bring
out six injured said the exact. cause
of the blast yesterday might not be
determined for several days.
Wives and children of the miners
with several hundred townsfolk from
nearby Avoca and other communities
stood silent or sobbing at the mouth
of the slope Of the red ash vein of the
Volpe Coal Co.. as dead and injured
were brought to the surface.
The Dead and Injured.
The dead:
Alex Glanko and John Clark, both
Of Moosic; John Kovaleski. Martin
Wocniak, Adam Mark. Gus Posdzich,
John Phillips. Michael Guzzy and
John Lokuta, all Of Dupont; and Sam

at the Pittston Hospital for skull frac-
lures and severe burns.
Others were Warner Posdzich, son
OF Gus, Scranton: Peter Wasluk,
Wyoming; Patrick Nardone, Pittston,
and Joseph Lusto, Dupont,
Wife Rushes Into Arms.
Justo was the only one who reached
the surface unaided. Clutching an
injured wrist, he staggered out of the
mouth. His wife, screaming, darted
from the crowd and into his arms.
State mine inspectors, Henry r.
Owens of Scranton and Harvey Curry
of Wilkes-Barre, examined a possi-
bility gas might have seeped in from
abandoned workings nearby.
They said props in the shaft were
wrecked and coal tumbled down into
chambers and gangways. They Or
dered a new ventilating system put
into operation to make safe the work
Of clearing out the debris.
Eight men were killed and 10 hurt
