Page Yive ‘LEFT WING TO | CELEBRATE AT LD, OUTING j Mass Scene Shown at 4 Affair Aug. 11 In recognition of the support given them by the New York Sec- tion of the International Labor De- fense, a delegation, of striking fruit | and grocery clerks will attend the | big outing in Pleasant Bay Park | Saturday, August 11, that the I. L, D, is arranging. Thousands of work- ers in every trade, representing | every nationality, will take posses- | sion of Pleasant Bay Park for that day and take part in the many ac- tivities that are being arranged. Of special interest among the | numbers on the program will be the mass scene. This will symbolize the struggle of the class-conscious workers to free their comrades who are behind the bars of the capitalist lungeons for their devotion to the orkingclass. A large number of Teckark will take part in this mass scene which will dramatize in aj vivid manner the work that the In- ternational Labor Defense is doing. | Besides this mass scene, there will | ° be many other numbers included on | a program of unusual interest, Among these will be a torch light parade, athletics and games of all sorts, open air dancing with music furnished by a first-class jazz band, refreshments and many other activities. A unique feature will be the taking of movies of the out- | ing. The proceeds of the affair will| go to aid class war prisoners and | their families.

While they cannot even begin to fill the great need in their villages, stili their achieve- ments, considering the circum- stances, are remarkable. Anyone who knows the soft coal region would not think it possible to raise relief here. Company towns where everyone is on strike, jsolated. by many miles from bigger laces where workers other than iners live, towns far from a rail- ‘oad line, bare little villages with nothing but thd rows of miners’ shacks, the union hall, a few littly stores.

Once again the mid-year dividend discussion calls attention to the enormous wealth Standard Oil has poured into the coffers the multi- millionaire clique since the courts dissolved the original trust under the Sherman act in 1911. This wealth is 1 ured not only by the total of $2.012,728.422 in cash divi- dends distributed from 1912 to June. 1928, byt also by an expansion of more than $4,000.000,000 in the market value of Standard Oil se- curities. The expansion in market value is little more than a capitalization of the increasing ability of the oil in- terests to profiteer at the expense z not only of the American people, but round the world. cash dividends, it of oil the of users Added to brings the total wealth which Stand-\ ard Oil has grabbed for its owners im the last 15 years up to more than $6,000,000,000. This money was made on investments with a market value of $1,000,548,485 in 1912. Steady) Increase. There have been stock dividends totalling $1.450.888.795 and stock split-ups which do not alter the book value of the outstanding securities. But of greater importance, although less spectacular, has been the in- creasing amount the market is will- ing to pav for available stock in whatever form offered. Thus 981,- 883 shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey, with a market value of $375 a share, or a total of $368,768,625 in 1912, have expanded to 24,317,219 shares, with a market value of $42.75, worth a total of $1,039,561,- 118 on July 17, 1928. The Wall Street Journal also calls attention to the days when John D.

The women of Triadelphia, West Vity of: Wheeling and came back vith the truck loaded with food for ‘he strikers’ children’s kitchen. The methods of disposing relief are just as varied. In Bentleyville, they take care of the sick out of their little fund, doctor’s bills, medi- cine and confinement cases. In Lansing, Ohio, they recently shared a great luxury among the members —a sack of sugar for their coffee. Some auxiliaries give relief money, some give groceries, some take care of only especially needy cases. Work Progressing.

JOHNS, Newfoundland, Aug. 5.—Details of a serious dam burst at Buchan’s Mine, near Indian Lake, that did tremendous damage and threatened death to many workers, reached here today. The storage dam at the mine burst last Monday. Sweeping down the valley for five miles, the water carried railway trestles, bridges, miner’s shacks and timber with it. One side of the power house was swept away. The power house was flooded, and the generators still are under 20 feet of water. A newly completed concentrating mill was destroyed. Men living in shacks and houses escaped narrowly, losing all their possessions. Laborers working in the main tunnel escaped mirac- | ulously, |.
