The 114 coal diggers who en- tered the Benwood Mill mine of the Wheeling Steel Corporation at Benwood on Monday were killed in the gas explosion which wrecked the workings. Seven- ty-six charred bodies, had been removed from the mine at dawn today. Rescue squads continue to push their way thru the bar- riers of stone and dirt that block the passageways. Scab Mine. The Wheeling Steel Corpora- tion operates blast furnaces, bar, sheet and tin mills in Wheeling and various other towns in the vicinity. All the operations of this corporation are strictly non-union altho formerly some of the steel mills were organized. The Amalgamated Association of Tron, Steel and Tin Workers is still of- ficially maintaining a strike at the steel mills but this has been going on for so long that the mills have ap- parently secured all the help needed. The coal diggers entered the ‘scab mine the morning after it was de- elared safe. The mine is an old one and was considered dangerous. The scene around the mouth of the pit is heartrending. Men and women re- main there in the drizzling rain in a sort of stupor waiting for the rescue squads to bring the charred and crushed bodies of their husbands, fathers or sons to the surface. Explosion a Mystery? The president of the scab corpora- tion issued a statement. He does not know what caused the explosion. It was a gas explosion, but why there was such an explosion he did not know. Did not an inspector declare the mine safe? But mine inspectors are too often tools of the coal barons and the coal barons run West Va. Only the lives of workers were at stake and labor is plentiful and scab labor is cheap. Why should the presi- dent of the corporation worry his head over the cause of the gas explosion. Only the bodies of two victims have been identified. They are Mine Fore- .°Man, George Holliday and his son, George Holliday, Jr. Singeing flame and shattering concussion did the dread work. While the work of removing the bodies of the corporation’s victims was proceeding, the red flare of a blast furnace, owned by the Wheeling Steel Corporation leaped into the sky, showering sparks. Its reflection danced madly against the timbers of the pit mouth glowing on the faces of the men who were taking their dead comrades out of the earth. The glare from the furnace reflected the brutal unconcern of the great soulless corporation for the lives of the work- ers who coin their blood and brawn into gold for its coffers and give their lives in its service.

SLICK SLEMP T0 BE MOUTHPIECE FOR SILENT CAL Canny Confidence Man Is Campaign Pilot (Speciat to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, April 30.—C. Bas- com Slemp's stock as probable chair- man of the Republican National Com- mittee and director in chief of the Coolidge campaign went up several points today. This followed Presi- dent Coolidge’s announcement that he personally had taken charge, in rela- tion to essential matters, of the party machinery now being prepared for the Cleveland convention and the en-. suing campaign. This means that Slemp, the most active and the closest of the presi- dent’s political advisers, stands the best chance of becoming the presi- dent’s mouthpiece and campaign di- rector general, replacing John T. Adams after the Cleveland conven- tion, or so it is construed by many, of the best informed republicans hété.| A Practical Politician. Slemp, whose appointment as presi- dential secretary created a great deal of gossip, has proved his worth to the administration in a political way many times. He and President Coo- lidge were virtual strangers when Slemp took up his duties. Since that time, however, the suave ,skillful Vir- ginian has impressed Mr. Coolidge deeply with his political acumen and his ability to play the game of prac- tical politics along the lines which Mr. Coolidge has learned, Slemp right now is less a secretary than a political adviser and strategist. William M. Butler, of course, is in charge of the pre-convention cam- paign, because until the convention has actually picked its nominee, the party organization, as such, cannot appear committed to any one man. But nothing now stands in the way of Mr. Coolidge’s immediate nomination; hence the time has come when the president can openly admit he has assumed party leadership and intends to exercise it actively from now on.

McCray, former governor of Indiana, was sentenced today to ten years’ imprisonment in the Federal prison at Atlanta, and fined $10,000, by Federal Judge Anderson for using the mails in a scheme to defraud. Im- mediate preparations for the trip to Atlanta were made. Shortly after 10:15 o'clock, Emmet F. Branch, Lieutenant Governor, took the oath of office as governor. The oath was administered by Chief Jus- tice Ewbank, of the State Supreme Court. Another Indictment Out. There is an indictment now pending against McCray and Amos D. Morris, former cashier of the discount and deposit bank at Kentland, Ind., charg- ing them with violation of the nation- al banking laws. McCray’s conviction and sentence grew out of his financial failure near- ly eight months ago. In August of last year, McCray called his creditors together informed them he was no longer able to meet his financial obligations and offered to turn over to them his vast h@ldings of land and livestock. Blamed Agricultural Depression. He blamed his failure on the gener- al agricultural depression which had depreciated his properties. Creditors of the governor, however, attributed his failure to speculations on the Chicago Board of Trade and to purchase of land at peak prices when he had no funds to back up his speculations. Request was made for a grand jury investigation, McCray was indicted in the Marion criminal court on charges" of forgery, larceny, issuance of {se statements and embezzlement of $155,000 from the Indiana State Board of Agriculture. ‘ He was subsequently indicted by the federal grand jury on charges of fraudulent use of the mails and viola- tion of the national banking laws. A trial in criminal court on the em- bezzlement charges, resulted in a hung jury. The second trial brought conviction, Smallpox Appears.

The letter sent by the men to Presi- dent Carry asking for a conference, which Carry so disdainfully refuses to reply to, follows: Strike Headquarters Pullman Shopmen 205 E. 115th Street Phone; Pull. 0529. Chicago, Ill,, April 25, 1924. BE. F. Carry, President L. S. Hungerford, Vice-President The Pullman Company Pullman Building, Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:— On April 14th work was suspended in the Passenger Steel Shop owing tc wage cuts arbitrarily applied. Since that date many more men have join ed in the protest and while meetings have been held with local officials of the company no results in the adjust- ment of the controversy have been accomplished. Therefore, it is the unanimous sentiment ‘of the employes involved that a meeting be arranged with, either or both of you for the purpose of discussing, and if possible, settling the matter creating the suspension of work. We request that you meet a com- mittee selected by, and representative of, the employes at an hour conve- nient on either Monday April 28 or the day following. A letter or telephone call acknow- ledging receipt and advising of date and hour will be appreciated. Yours Truly, Wm. C. SANDUS Sec’y pro te.m. Yesterday’s strike meeting was lar- ger than any yet held. Some of the upholsters walked out and joined the strikers yesterday. They reported that the work in the plant has prac- |tically. stopped. There are nearly 20,000 men at work in the entire Pullman plant. Strikers pointed out to the DAILY WORKER today that the departments are de- pendent upon each other to keep busy. The strike of the riveters, reamers, buckers and all the outside steel work- ers, who assemble the cars, has there- fore practically stopped the work of all of the 20,000 men. Material is pil- ing up, and no cars are being riveted together. More of the strikers joined the lo- cal of the Brotherhood of Railway Car- men at yesterday’s strike meeting fol- lowing the appeal of John Holmgren. Almost all of the strikers are now in the union while the others have asked for applications. Nick Spynow was selling the DAILY WORKER outside the gates of the plant again yesterday. One plain clothesman tried to get Spynow to stop selling the papers by telling him that, “The strikers are a bad bunch. They are no good and you ought to be ashamed to mix up with them.” * This dick told Spynow that he was sell- ing DAILY WORKERS because he is a foreigner and doesn't know any bet- ter. But Spynow replied he was going to continue to sell the DAILY WORK- ER on the streets every day as he knew he had a lawful right to do so. Wait Transportation Money Back Archibald Caldwell and Thomas Doig have placed affidavits in the hands of D. J. Bentall, attorney, in an effort to secure back the transporta- tion money which the Pullman Com- pany has refused to pay the men. Caldwell and Doig were hired by J. Baxter, of the Pullman Company, in Detroit. Baxter gave the men his word $f honor that there was no strike on at Pullman and no labor trouble of any kind. He agreed, with that understanding, to refund the transportation of these men after they had worked at the Pullman Plant for thirty days. Mr. Bentall intimated to the DAILY WORKER last night that Doig and Caldwell were entitled to their money, and that very soon the Pullman Com- pany might have an embarassing suit on their hands. “I called up EB. F. Carry,” said Ben- tall to the DAILY WORKER.” And he tried to put the men off again. These men were kept waiting for two days around the Pullman Plant and O'Leary, the employment manager, and other Pullman officials refused them their money. They have given me their power of attorney to act for them. The men are broke and without jobs, The Pullman Company has put them in the position of either scabbing on their fellow workers or starving, and I am going to do my best to see that they receive their transportation money as well as com- pensation for the lost time and the great inconvenience. Carry told me over the telephone that he would see what can be done. Perhaps we can hurry him in his decision by court action.” Many of the other men from distant points who have been similiarly rob- bed by the Pullman Company have turned the matter over to Bentall and given him authority to act for them in getting back their money. HUNGARIAN IMMIGRANT MAY BE DUPONT FIRM TRAVELING SALESMAN NEW YORK, April 29.—William J. Burns has not yet declared that he has the 99th positively correct solution of the Wall Street explo- sion, but unless he is too busy dodg- ing jail for his complicity in the Daugherty-Smith criminal activities, a statement should be forthcoming. A man described as a Hungarian im- migrant was arrested by the police, on suspicion of having evil inten- tions toward society. He was found wandering rather aimlessly near the home of the late Charles Murphy of Tammany Hall. , The police obligingly found a ‘dynamite bomb in one pocket and a revolver in another and immediately concluded that he was the Moscow agent assigned to the task of over- throwing the government on May Day which is a favorite day. for revo- tutions and furniture movers. There is a theory, however, that he might be an agent of the Dupont Powder company who forgot to leave his samples at home in his anxiety to see the Charlie Murphy funeral. Moscow it is stated in quarters generally considered authentic has more up-to-date methods of over- throwing governments than bombs, which are out of date, chief among which is the distribution of a germ labelled “X. Y. C. 33” in the Moscow laboratory. This deadly germ is fatal only to the bourgeoisie and acts with almost human intelligence. ‘It indiscrimately attack a bourgeois but selects ocassions such as meetings of the National Civic Federations and other counter-revo- tionary organizations. When Gomp- ers was seized with dizziness at a recent banquet it was feared that Moscow “got him” and it was also rumored that this germ was respon- sible for the fainting fit thrown by Judge Gary some time ago while de- livering an address. Since then the germs have learned a lot and May Day may be selected for trying them at mass meetings on the enemies of the workingclass. New York chemists are working on an anti-germ mask which the police will wear on the first of May if the preventative is completed by them. HOOVER SALMON STEAL IS PROBED IN SOLON'S QUIZ does not (Continued From Page 1.) stirred when Senator King of Utah opened his attack on the Commerce’ Secretary who is generally regarded as closer to Wall Street than anyone in the cabinet except Mellon and Hughes. King’s resolution demands the smashing of the salmon monopoly. It says in part: “The Secretary of Commerce, with- out authority of law, has suspended the fishery laws relating to Alaska, and has granted exclusive fishery rights to favor packing corporations, and has denied to American citizens the common right of fishery as estab- lished by the law of the land and re- VICTORY SEEN IN GARMENT STRIKE AS HYMEN QUITS | (Continued From Page 1.) and the signing of the agreement by smaller bosses, further emphasizes the weak condition of the Dress Manufac- turers in the loop. The long and strong strike of the plucky garment workers against their too-smart bosses is making a big hole not only in the bosses’ bank but also in the ranks of their association. The submission of the Hymen shop will undoubtedly draw other association bosses with it. ‘Two small firms at 302 So. Market street, Weiss and Garfinkle, and sever- al other small dress manufacturers have had to go out of business be- cause of the garment workers’ strike. A few of these firms settled early to have their work completed, and, fail- ing to meet the expense of their pre- vious participation in the strike, they closed their shops entirely. Judge Knows No May Day. Thirteen injunction cases came up before Judge Charles Foell this morn- ing. They were postponed from yes- terday. May Day means nothing to a Superior Court Judge. He isn’t in the class of workers that counts the first of May the greatest of all holidays, It is possible that these cases may be again put off because of a long murder trial which the court must hear first. The cases of the seven girls who were arrested late Friday evening on Market street have been set for May 6 before Judge Hebel. The girls had to be taken to the Judge’s home be- fore their release could be secured, as no court was in session after six p. m., when they were arrested. Hebel is the third judge to take garment in- junction cages. Twenty-eight cases come before Judge Sullivan on the same day, May 6, unless they are defaulted by the prosecution or put off again. Special Program Today. The striking garment workers are planning a lively May Day celebration today. They have an excellent con- cert planned and several good speak- ers will address them. Vice-President Perlsfein will be one of the speakers to deliver a May Day message to the striking workers who have proven themselves a real force for their em- ployers to reckon with. The strikers held a peppy dance in their usual strike meeting time on Tuesday. More unions are contributing funds to help the garment workers finish their fight triumphantly. Local 275 of the Painters contributed $100 at its meeting Tuesday night and offered assistance to the Pullman strikers whenever they should ask aid. The garment workers are as deter- mined as ever to keep their fighting ranks intact until every one of the dress manufacturers has signed with the union. Their recent victories have only added to their vim and the girls and men all say, “We'll win.” Differences Dropped For Strike.
