The work of the demolished starch room is being done in plants owned by the company elsewhere so that production goes on. State and federal investigators who ince the accident to determine its cause have gone away. |It is reported that they found the “ex- act root” of the explosion, but they have made nothine public. David Price, one of the engineers in charge of the investigation, agrees with the statement in our previous article that the explosion first oc- cured in the grinding room and shot into the dry starch works thru the conveyor that carried the starch from one building to the other. Whatever his conclusions are as to the cause of the explosion will be mittee, of the National Fire Protec- tion association of which he is the chairman. Workers’ Union Wrecked The explosion occurred after the company had wrecked the worker’s union two years ago, and refused to continue a union condition which had caused two men to be kept constantly at work removing dust that everybody knew would explode.

Two retired farmers and a banker comprise the remainder of the jury. Wages paid in the death trap, ranged from 47 cents to 65 cents per hour, according to the years of employment. Because of this “open shop” wage, many of the men in the starch works put in 16-hour shifts. John Hocker, the latest victim to be removed from the wreckage, was finishing a 16-hour day when he was killed. The unidentified dead, in great benevolence are to be buried by the company, in one grave. The com- pany announces that it will erect a monument to the memory of the dead workers.

New lows were made in many sections of the market as the final gong sounded, especially in the motors and other recent industrial favorites.

The stock, consisting not only of radical literature but also of scienti- fic works, popular editions of classics, and of publications by houses other than communistic, was in part de- stroyed and in part dragged off to military -barracks. Dickens’ novels, Hermynia zur Muehlen’s Fables, Dos- toievsky’s stories, and the like were included. Viva was also planning to bring out a number of works on art. All this was deemed “seditions” by the military, and at one fell blow a cultural undertaking that had fur- nished cheap books to the workers was annihilated. The German press is silent about this assault upon the principle of a free press. Dismiss Kuzbas Frameup. NEW YORK.—The reactionary, governmental campaign against or- ganizations working for Russia’s re- construction ended in a fiasco whea the two outstanding charges of grove, formerly of the Kuzbas com- mittee, were dismissed in the state supreme court by Judge Tompkins.

EXPECT 1,800 DELEGATES AT MINERS’ MEET Resolutions Pour in for Big Convention (Special to “The Daily Worker.”) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind—Resolutions on wages and numerous other prob- lems which will come before the con- vention of the United Mine Workers here next week are pouring into in- terational headquarters, officials of the unions said today. | All resolutions concerning wages, will be turned oyer to the wage scales committee Which will make recommendations to the convention.

Davis, the banker-secre- tary of labor, will speak during the convention, it is announced, and Samuel Gompers, president of the ONLY GUARDISTS, GOMPERS IN WAR ON RECOGNITION Soviet Official Sees Sinister Alliance Isvestia, official organ of the Soviet Government, of Dec. 18, 1923, pub- lishes an interview given by Comrade I. Khurgin, who spent some time in America as the director of the Derutra Steamship Co. Among other things Khurgin states: ‘The only organized opposition to recognition of Soviet Russia comes from two sources. From the Russian White Guards, led by Bakhmetiey, and from Mr, Gom- ers, the President of the American ‘ederation of Labor. “The reasgns-and motives of the first group are clear and require no further explanation. As far as Gom- pers is concerned, his anti-Soviet propaganda is only an indication of the shattered position in which he finds himself, and of the growing in- © fluence of the Workers Party of America. It is not so much a cam- paign against Soviet Russia as an attempt to keep the influence of his antiquated trade union machine which holds in its grip the American Fed- eration of Labor. In reality, this ma- chine is only one of the subordinate parts of the political machine which is now ruling the country as a whole. The strengthening or weakening of this anti-Soviet campaign is explained not so much by the international situ- ation of Soviet Russia as those inter- nal events in the political life of the working class, which are taking place in the United States.” “This campaign, however, does not in the least touch the broad masses of the workers, It is an everyday affair in American political life, and it does not fool anyone any more.” “Tt is needless to speak about the broad masses of the workers. The showing of the films of Soviet Russia is turned every time into a manifesta- tion of the sympathies on the part of the working class of America.” “My impression was that the ten- dencies of the American workers are contrary to those of Gompers. The Americans gladly listen to everything concerning Soviet Russia and show an unusual interest in our contemnorery art and literature and in evervthing that is connected with Soviet Ryssia. T am not spesking about the radical part of the bonreenis intelligentsia which is able to tackle the ‘Russian question’ but of the »eople.” “Such a liberal and influential Weekly as the “Nation,” for example, has deemed it necessary to issue a special anniversary issue on the sixth anniversary of the Russian Revolu- tion.
