THE DAILY WORKER FIGHTS For a Workers-Farmers Government To Organize the Unorganized For the 40-Hour Week For a Labor Party DB aily Entered as second-ciava matter at the Post Office at New York, N Y., under the act of March 3, 187!

Outside New NEW YORK, MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1929 OLVANY, BOSS OF TAMMANY JUDGES KEPT LAW TRADE District LeadersAngry; Leader Getting Too Much of the Swag ‘Held Between Factions ‘Smith, Walker, Third Group in Melee George W. Olvany’s resignation | tore a rent into the Tammany wig- wam which seems to show some- | thing like a private scalping party going on among the sachems. The Al. Smith group, which ac- cused Olvany of knifing the demo- cratic presidential candidate’ in the | back, is shooting at long range at (the Walker faction. The. Walker | group, which accuses Olvany of | making too many demands for pa- | tronage, is saying spiteful things { about him and swearing that | neither Smith nor any of his friends | is going to head Tammany. } Good for Law Practice. The district leaders say Olvany ought not to have been a lawyer. The temptation to continue his law practice, with most of the judges at the beck and cali of Tammany, was too much for him. They don’t mind a man turning an_ honest penny, if he has plenty of judges who have to remember that he is head of their political machine, but they said the practice took up too much of his time. He Felt Sick. So Olvany, caught in all this cross-fire, began to feel sick, and resigned on account of ill health. But the battle rages, all the more now that Olvany is no longer stand- ing between the combatants, mé ‘of those suggested for the leader are John:F. Gilchrist, a Smith man; James F. Fagen, the present secretary and popular with some of the. district leaders, and | Surmogale James A. Foley, whose | qualifications seem to be that he is son-in-law of the late Charles F. y, of the “old” Tammany. “9.000 CAUGHT “NNEW FL.0008 Negroes Rescued Last Impressed for Work TROY, Ala., March 17.—Over 20,- 000 were caught in the flooded re- gions of Alabama in latest accounts tonight. Though most of the Elba sufferers have been removed to higher ground, a total of 21 deaths by drowning is Reported, and this number, due to the lack of communications, is thought to be much lower than the reality. As in all pfevious Southern floods, little attention is being paid to the large Negro population, and no ac- count is paid to the number of Negro deaths. The white population of Elba was rescued before the Negroes were permitted to save themselves. Provisions ate being ‘made to imptess Negroes.to do the ‘more dangefous work of rescuing, guiding small canoes about in the swirling flood waters. 4 Resume Camp on Hill. The Alabama state militia is sup- posed to take charge of rescue work, but has done little beyond establish- ing, thru the use of Negro labor, a relief camp at Cemetery Hill. Refugees are being taken out of ‘Geneva, Samson, Slocomb, and Hart- | ford. Sanitary conditions are very bad. | It is feared there will be a plague are some cases already. Throw Mother OutWith 24 Hour Notice While Husband Hunts Work LAWRENCE, Mass., March 17.— Mrs. Pearl Berry, with her 15 month old baby, and 12 year old sister-in- law is in the almshouse today.
