C., May 28—Small hope was held today that some of the seventy-one entombed miners buried In the Carolina Coal company’s mine nine miles from here would be found allve. as rescue efforts were redoubled at dawn, Only six bodies have been brought to the surface. Brothers of some of the Imprisoned men were in the line which formed to identify the burned and blackened corpses as three little coal cars, each bearing a rescue crew and two bodies, came out of the mouth of the death hole, Three Deadly Explosions, Three explosions below the 1,000 foot lateral entombed the 71 miners in the ancient workings. The first explosion occurred in the second right lateral of the mine, blocking the main shaft with debris and spreading dead- ly gas, Little hope was held that even many more dead bodies could be reached before late today, Operatives in the mine said that the fans in the farther end of the shaft were working and this led to a faint hope that some men might be found alive, but others were just as certain that no life would be found in the blasted workings. A corps of army physicians and surgeons from Fort Bragg were on the scene early today to man the temporary hospital station which was Bet up. Rescue work also was speeded up this morning by the arrival of a spe- @fal car with rescue apparatus from the United States bureau of mines. Bodies Terribly Mangled. The first six bodies reached and Drought ‘to the surface yesterday are those seen by Howard Butler, assist- ant manager.of the mine, when he went down after the first gush of smoke came from the mine shortly before noon. Butler's attention was called by V. D. Smith, bookkeeper at the mines, Hurrying down the shaft and into the tunnel Butled dashed for @ telephone to summon help. A sec- ond explosion knocked him down and another helper then called for a doctor, Butler was rushed back and| given medical treatment before any further efforts were made to enter the mine. The six bodies tecovered were hor- ribly torn. Other mine workers and members of families of the entombed men stood patiently by while: physi- cians determined that all of them were dead. The Carolina mine is the oldest coal mine in North Carolina, having been operated since the civil war. It sup- Plied fuel during the war to vessels of the confederate navy. Zorin: the Propagandist “THE ROMANCE OF RUSSIA” written by Magdeleine Marx and published by Thomas Seltzer, New York, is a new book about Russia. The author, with the skill of an artist and thru eyes of deep under- standing presents us with a series of intimate pictures of life in Rus- sia. Thru her conversation with peas- ant women, women workers in fac- tories, young student workers, chil- dren in school, she sueceeds in transmitting to us the feel of new Russia. We meet Masha, the Peasant. She is a product of old Russia but she values with full un- derstanding the freevom the revolu- tion has given her and she fits into her new surroundings as one who belongs. We follow breatlessly Lena. In her twenty young years she has lived thri an eternity yet she is the very symbol of that youthful spirit in Russia which blazes the way to the new values in life. hapter after chapter we meet enjoy wonderful Russian work- ers whom the author thoroly under- stands and appreciates. We reprint in full one particularly interesting chapter, about the workman, “Zorin, the Propagandist.” ee © ZORIN: THE PROPAGANDIST. b Depayeud is no need for me to speak of the wonderful intellect of the theorist Bukharin; the eloquence and artistic sense of Lunacharsky; the learning of the absent-minded Chich- erin; the profundity of the views of Sokolnikov, Commissioner of Fi- nances; the authority of the peasant figure, Kameney, president of the Republic, Kalinin. These men have already had their values set upon, them and been put into their proper categories. What is not so well, ape is the contribution that num- less obscure workers have made to revolution. » {8 the workman Zorin, ’ He was thirty-two yoais old. ; he fulfilled the TO ORGANIZE AUTO WORKERS (Special to The Dally Werker) DETROIT, Mich., May 28.—An organization meeting conducted by Local No, 127, Auto Workers’ Union, before the Towaan Body plant, a part of the Murray Auto Body Corporation, promised to duplicate the situation prevailing at the Briggs plant last week.

J. O'Flaherty (Continued from Page 1) Goto, for his frank statement that war with the United States was inevitable. And when the war comes, as come it will, American boys will be dodging Japanese bullets, manufactured by the Dupont company as the Germans from 1924 to 1918 dodged (tho not always successfully) shells manufactured by the Krupps for the British govern- ment, And every time a Krupp shell fired from the British lines exploded, one of the Krupps could light another cigar and open another bottle of champagne, confident that he was winning the war, no matter who lost. It’s a great game, ae ‘HAT happened to the big confer- ence planned by William Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen? It seems to have gone off the track. We never expact- ed it to materialize, knowing what the other labor leaders think of Lee, They are all welcome to what they think of each other, buf if beggars can’ be choosers, we will give Bill the prize’ as the scabbiest fakers in the lot. ‘Bill announced that he had invitations written for a conference between sthe: railroad workers and their employers, scheduled for May 27. That date passed yesterday, without a peep from. Bill or the conference. eee ° § the DAILY WORKER predicted, Bill’s plan got ditched. He got the front page in the Hearst sheets only. The story was too fishy forthe other to handle, Hearst will serve up any kind of offal that is them talked, but not for publication. They cursed Sam eloquently, but when the reporters got out their pencils, the labor skates would say: “What what! This is not for publication, Understand now, young man, I haven’t said a word.” The campaign was a fizzle and Hearst soon afterwards made peace with Sammy. ee» Fe bye eee campaign launched by Hearst against Harry Daugherty, was nipped in the bud. A well known actress, whose pulchritude is entitled to more credit for her success than her histrionic ability, was the inno- cent cause of the Hearst-Daugherty scrap. One of William’s best news hounds was put on Daughterty’s track. The first three articles on the tam- ous strikebreaker were in type when Arthur Brisbane, Hearst’s handy man arrived in Washington. Arthur had a conference with William J. Burns who in turn brought Daugherty and Bris- bane together. The upshot of the conference was that the stories were killed and Daugherty and the well known actress were no longer seen at the opera together. sf @ ya Daugherty was the target for attack during the oil explosion, the Hearst papers defended the at- torney general. Many people wonder- ed why. Washington correspondents did not wonder. They knew the rea- son. These are samples of the meth- ods used by the Hearst papers. All capitalist papers are unreliable, but the Hearst sheets are the yellowest of suits,| yellow journals. Brisbane fooled the his immediate purpose. It is possible scrap with Warren S. Stone, and {8 boosting Lee to get the labor banker’s' goat. There is no choice between Lee and Stone, for the workers. 7s 2. @ 2B beeosend waged a campaign against Sammy Gompers prior to the Denver convention of 1921. He sent his reporters scurrying around for it- terviews to every labor leader who’ would be liable to “talk.” Most of idea of the Russian type to a detail. He was blond, fairly tall, with dark blue eyes, a girlish skin, an apelike mouth, something of a jaw, an athletic appearance, yet with a sort of nimbus did it come from his forehead, his eyes or his blondness?—a vaguely Nordic lobk softening the Scythian heredity; an idealistic sadness cloud- ing the upper part of his face and modifying the lower part. He was the descendant of workmen. He had a wretched childhood, but had shot up straight like a little human plant, and grew large with the breath of rebellion blowing upon him. When he was hardly twelve ye old—an age at which most of us are still ba- bies—he was an outlaw and a secret worker for revolutionary organiza- tions, At fourteen he was arrested and put in prison, and spent his year in the cell readi reading cease- lessly, a regular gourmand. Theory and tactics was what he read. He crammed his mind as full as he could with teachings of the great socialist writers. When freed, he carried on illegal propaganda even more ener- getically, 2) iyo he entered a workshop, where he led an existence like that of an adolescent Kim. It was there he learned a trade. Meanwhile he was nourishing himself on dry bread, poetry and social science, At eighteen he was a man and a good worker—a real one. He had worked at his trade, which was metallurgy, in the government of Kherson, at Odessa, at Kiev, at Mos- cow and at Petersburg agitating wherever he went. But how difficult {t was to accomplish anything in a Russia honeycombed with secret po- lice. One fine day he decided he had had “enuf of it and he emigrated to America.

Those who complain that there is too much propaganda in the DAILY WORKER should read their capitalist papers carefully, if they read them at all.

When the glorious news of the revolution came, he jumped on board the first steamer for Russia. His young wife went with him, At once he went into a factory. For it was stronger than he was, the feel- ing that the factory was his empire, his native land. He could not quit the workmen’s bench, nor lose the daily contact with the mass of workers whose blood was his blood too, He secured work in a factory about twenty versts from Petrograd where firearms were manufactured. The three thousand workers beside whom he labored were mad with hope and enthusiasm. What work could possibly be more important than the duty that fell to them: that of keeping the pre- letarian army supplied with ordin- ance? They worked like people in- spired, like madmen, like demons. BACK Samaning labor all day. Then, after work, came evening meetings, then deliberations, commit- tee meetings, councils which lasted all night. They had to get appeals printed, to establish relations with the principles in the movement, with the sailors, with the soldiers—in short to attend to all the superhuman work of organizations, They would sleep about two hours a night, on the earth, or on a bench, without covering; sometimes they didn’t sleep at all. Often for whole months they didn’t have time to undress.

Progressive school teachers believe the letter is the work of the stool- pigeon Abraham Leftkovitz, tool of Tammany Hall and the socialist party in the Central Trades Council. Left- kovitz is looked upon as a clown by the more responsible Tammany labor fakers, but as he poses as a radical they allow him to perform. This keeps him contented and gives him an exaggerated feeling of importance. The Charges. Leftkovitz charges the Communist fraction in the federation with several crimes against the capitalist system and the board of education. Among them are: Affiliation with a labor par- ty affiliation with a teachers’ inter- national—an organization similar to the miners’ international and other such bodies; contributions to striking workers; demanding the passage of resolutions condemning the class collaboration policies of the official bureaucracy of the American Federa- t || tion of Labor; opposition to the reac- tionary administration of the board of education—Tammany institution; favoring admittance of all teachers in- to the union’ regardless of political affiliations, ‘(Leftkovitz is against the admission of radicals.) Leftkovitz is aghinst the Commun- ists because he does not want to give the board of education “an excuse for punishing teachers for their opinions,” Those teachers whose opinions con- form to the Tammany Hall standard or to those of Abe Cahan are eligible to membership in the opinion of Abraham Leftkovitz.

They were charged with the direc- tion of the postal and telegraph serv- ice, Aftor the success of the revolu- tion, they were commissioned to re- turn foreign ambassadors to their own countries. They were concerned in the military defense of Petrograd and were among the saviours of the city, perhaps were the saviours, After the NEP, they directed for all Russia what was called the Machine Trust. They produced articles for the ‘newspapers, as vivid, as pithy pieces of writing as I have ever read. And in the inter- ims, like homing pigeons, they always returned to the Workshop. For they were workmen in spirit, as they were in the flesh. YM here one touches a thing which is not at all explicable, certainly, but which is carried to the last» point of perfection in a man like Zorin. That is the conductibility between him and everything else proletarian. I saw him in railroad trains. It might be anywhere—on the plains of the Don, among the prodigious har- vests that are seen only in the Uk- raine, on the red earth of the Crimea, or in the narrow’ passes of the Cau- casus. Almost he took the seat he had gathered ind him railroad employes, trav: peasants or sol- diers, every humble person in the train. In some mysterious way this traveler with his boyish face drew them. They crowded around him, they held up their heads and main- tained an expectant silence, as if awaiting something from him. At the end of half an hour the group assume the proportions almost of 4 meeting, And as he sat in the cen- ter of the hypnotized circle, he'd of- fer cigarets to one man, slap another on the shoulder, or.collar one boy and cut up with another.

Speaking for the DAILY WORKER she will hold meetings in all the principal cities in this country on a 3,000 mile trip in a direct line between San Francisco and New York, In all this time, this veteran fighter of our movement insists she will not pay a single penny for railroad fare, Never has there been such an attempt made before and the fact *————_________—___—. that a woman of 60 years makes the attempt is sure to attract nation-wide attention. Plan Farewell Meeting. The opening gun of this campaign will be fired on June 1, when a fare- well meeting will be held at Oakland, California, the first of hundreds of meetings .cheduled for the tour, Ac- cording to plans laid, her trip will bring her to the following cities on her schedule: Sacramento, June 3; Fallon, Nevada, June 6; Salt Lake City, June 8; Rock Springs, Wyo., June 13; Cheycnne, Wyo., June 14; Denver, Colo., June 16, 17, 18; Kan- sas City, Mo., June 21, 22; Chicago, June 26. In Chicago, she will hold open air meetings for a few weeks and will then continue her trip to St. Louis, thru the mining flelds of southern Illinois Indiana, and Ohio; then to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, Washington and New York completing a journey of 3,000 miles and ending with a great mass meeting to be held there on her arrival. This plan was born after a success- ful tour in California, where thou- sands of workers have heard her message of Communism, many new Communist locals were formed and hundreds of subscriptions secured for the DAILY WORKER. Age is no handicap to a fighter, thinks Mother Bloor. “IT am the oldest and the healthiest member of the Red Guard,” she says, “and you can trfist me to carry out the plan fully,” Make Trip Real Campaign. “It is easy,” she continues, “for a woman of my age and experience. In many cases, the young fighters in many towns I know, will accompany me to the next city and we will make the trip a real campaign. Before we are thru, many thousands are going to hear of Communism and of the standard bearer of the Communist movement, the DAILY WORKER. “I am sending my baggage ahead and will wear my hiking clothes,” The progress of this spectacular tour by the well-known veteran will be recorded often, with an account of her experiences and successes in the pages the DAILY WORKER. Greet Mother Bloor at the meetings in your city when she arrives. Jardine Not to Force Out Gamblers.

Zorin was speaking, they were listening, they were neither hungry nor thirsty. When the group broke up, long after the other passengers had retired to their berths, they left slowly, their brows drawn with thot, their eyes dazzled by the goal he had shown them. More than one man, I am sure, dated his life as @ militant from that instant. If you had suggested to Serge Zorin that he was spreading propaganda, he would have laughed. Propaganda? Well, they were talking about any- thing and everything: the weather, the train, the crops, the child asleep in the coach; and could you talk about all these things without men- tioning the name they bore in the world now, legible as a book? Could you isolate the spokes of a wheel from the motion that causes the wheel to turn? One night on the deck of a_ sub- marine that was scudding thru the Black Sea like a shell, I saw him gather the crew about him in ten min- utes. He impressed them, convinced them, discussed with them, bombard- ed them with a fire of argument. He buttonholed one of the sailors and left the fellow gaping. ND there he stayed the entire night, an unequalled pilot, lifting up to the stars a face as fresh as the wind. A ray of moonlight ¢) ed on his white forehead. His hand clutch- ed the netting; his feet were splashed with foam; and his prodigal tongue scattered a thousand dancing pictures on the trough of the oncoming wa’ His talk made the crouching, silent men forget the cold and the coming of the dawn, there off the coast of Asia, in a sulphurous fog, streaked with geranium-red.

The councilmen left the city hall in possession of the Communists. They later returned with police, who again took possession of the council chambers. The report made no mention of casualties. Hunt for Witnesses in Shepherd Murder Trial Is Fruitless The drab proceedings in the court room of Judge Thomas Lynch where state and defense continued their monotonous exmainations of venire- men to complete the William D. Shep- herd jury, faded into obscurity today as legal warfare over the possesion of J. J. Kelly took the the limelight) in the “germ murder” trial. Kelly, who, in carefully guarded sessions is reported to have told “plenty” regarding the cirumstances surrounding the disappearance of Robert White, missing prosecution witness, is seeking his liberty on a writ of habeas corpus, execution of which is being bitterly contested by the state, The hunt for White which for two days has centered in New York City was being continued there, but the state’s attorney's office admitted that thus far, word from that city had not been conducive to a belief that White might be found soon. Final disposition of the contempt of court action against James C. Calian, charged by the state with hav- ing attempted to influence a pros- pective juror, was postponed until this afternoon to give the state time to digest Callan’s replies to the 2 inter- rogatories. The answer constituted a blanket denial which automatically purges Callan of contempt and it virtually was admtited that the state would not file perjury charges, the only remain- ing action possible under the Illinois law. Two witnesses are necessary to perjury charges in Illinois and these, the state admittedly has not found. No Banks Left in Hugo.

Old cotton loans are said to be responsible for the closing of all three banks of Hugo. his speech—so simple as to be brusque —his choice of a word, an image, a subject; his voice, which sang, vi- brated and snapped like a bullet, but which could bark if necessary—these things sent a whirlwind of joy thru the hall and seemed to sweep it clean of all pettiness and fill it with swell- ing hope. ORIN always wore a blouse of black satinet fastened on the side. When he faced an audience he stood perfectly at ease, something a little catlike in his slender form. His eyes sparkled like a child's. His body was completely flexible. His smile was a little gouape. Sometimes he would begin in a happy, familiar, joking vein and tell an anecdote that teased their imagination. Then, kneading his thots with his two granite fists his face flushing, he would advance by insen- sible degrees to the climax of his argument. It was a delight to follow him, a delight to hear him, a delight to look at him. “Tell us the story of the revolu- tion!” He would tell it. “Tell us why such and such a thing happened at a given moment and why not another thing.” He would tell them. “In your opinion what can be the outcome of such and such a situa- tion?” He would explain. He was never taken unexpectedly. From the sly fluttering of his eyebrows you knew it was the very question he was wait- ing for. He could have thanked the man who asked it. He would wait a second, then two, then three, as a .| gourmand samples the flavor of a new dish befote he eats it; then he would give his answer: to the point, lash- ing, marked by caustic precision, copl- ous, straightforward. Nothing was e jacking. H® was like a rich man who gives his entire fortune to whomsoever asks, And, to the responsive crowd, happy, relaxed, he was not only some- one who knew more about things than they did; he was one of thelr own, Mba eacgaremeencnsennacr ane sean eee UPS AR ONCE SE wR a ge UNEMPLOYMENT , | “REMEDIES” AS | BAD AS DISEASE Arrests Don’t Help, or (Work) Reward, Jobless LOS ANGELES, May 28.—In order to alleviate the suffering of the vast army of unemployed men and women, conservatively estimated at 65,000, the Los Angeles ¢ounty unemploy- ment league was formed and several meetings held in the Labor Temple. Because of unemployment, 953 men have been arrested, since the first of the year, on charges of vagrancy, No doubt, this was some one’s conception of a remedy for unemployment, but the fact is that in all cases those suf- fering arrest were in a worse condi- tion after being released than when apprehended. In another effort the county, elty and community chest each appropriat; ed $5,000 to care for the needs of the unemployed, which served, with its taint of charity, to only make harder the existence of the man fighting in every way for the opportunity to earn his own living. Work was provided in the public parks but when the welfare organ- izations who have beds and meals for sale, finished manipulating the ar- rangements it was found that a man who worked 8 hours, at forty cents per hour, had only 60 cents, The balance was put in the purses of peo- ple who had shared in the community chest as charitable organizations, Even work, when at such low wages, is no solution for the miseries of the unemployed. McAndrew Acts Queer. Superintendent McAndrew is show- ing signs of the strain of the fight the Teachers’ Federation is giving him. It has evidently gone to his head. But maybe it is second childhood. Here are the symptoms. The other day he called together the superintendents to send word around to the teachers that he wants them to dress up in colorful attire. They must discard the black skirt and white shirt waist and black shoes and stockings that most of the teachers wear, according to the su- perintendent’s observations. They should dress up, and be gay. Bspe- cially does he object to the black stockings! Boston Teachers Win a 10 Per Cent Raise BOSTON, Mass., May 28.—A 10 per cent increase in maximum salaries for the Boston public school teachers has been agreed upon by the city coun- cil, ratifying a legislative act.

When he had finished, panting an jubilant, he would thrust his hand into his pockets, his cheeks flushedy the collar of his blouse undone, He, would point to his perspiring fore- head and would brandish his damp) handkerchief like a trophy. | “I love that,” he would say, lower~ ing his russet fringed eyelids over his blue, slightly bloodshot eyes, and feels ing his clenched muscles under his / rolied-up sleeves. “Yes, really, llove that.” E would open his volume of Shel- ley without reading it, You knew perfectly well that he was not concerned with the applause he had created for himself. As a workman he was pleased at having done a good job and at having helped the cause along a little. And he would have lked—that you knew, too—to begin straight over again. “It's simple enough. Give me an — audience of workmen—nothing but workmen. I don’t care whether or not they think as I do, whether they're friends or enemies, Russians or for I'll take them, I tell you, eigners. and I'll make them understand me; I'll drive the revolutionary idea—in there.” He would tap his sweaty forehead.

To express the idea of. crouching body getting to fis fee again, you must create slowly in that body a chemistry of gestures, of timid intonations, of long-stagnant blood, of inarticulate syllabi and’ re-created impulses, The way that is done ia a secret, Zorin knows it.
