C., will leave New York for Washington tomorrow, wnere they will ask President Hoover and the Federal authorities to guaran- tee protection to organized labor in all the Southern States. This request will mark the opening of a national campaign sponsored by the United Textile Workers of America | to establish the right of labor unions “to conduet legitimate labor activity in and holidey, and first-aid stations are aced along the river from the harbor most to Chain Bridge. In addition, the life-saving committee of the Dis- irict Chapter has been carrying on an educational campaign, the results of | which are calenlated to reduce the | number of drownings. | In charge of this service is Com- | modore W.

Googe Appeals to Richards, Mr. Googe, who returned to New York yesterday, having been told by the sheriff of Ware Shoals that it would not “be safe for him after dark.” he said, had appealed to Gov. John G. Richards of South Carolina for pro- tection, but the governor, he said, had given him no satisfaction. The organizer and John E. Poble, representative of the textile union, re- ported to Thomas F. McMahon, presi- dent of the union, that men armed with rifles had entered their hotel in Ware Shoals and threatened their lives, Googe said that he had returned to New York on the advice of J. T. Clem, the sherifl. Officials of tne union, attending a auarterly meeting in the Bible House, ordered Poole to return to the mill town, and if the governor and sheriff still refused to give him protection, to bring armed men with him. May Ask War Department Guard. ’ When Mr. Green learned of the threats he and Mr. McMahon said that they also would seek protection from the Department of Justice and if neces- sary the War Department. If T hadn't left Ware Shoals.” Googe said. “the town would have been pre- cipitated into a civil war, with the strikers taking up arms against the Incal police, who. it is believed, are maintained by the textile mill and the connty. The town itself is not incor- porated.” . As evidence of the bad feeling be- tween the union and the State authori- ties, Mr. McMahon showed a telegram he had received from the governor in reply for his demands for protection. 915 Fifteenth Street \I’A;:CIN GTON Deaf May Hear Tlliu'u. : Deaf people may be able to hear talk- | e Temainder of the Sum- | ing pietures if the squipment heing used its waters are to be insanitary and muddy. Cause of Drownings. According to the commodore, most of the drownings on the river have been through flagrant violationz of common sense Tules of safety, and an | almost complete lack of the funda- mental instruction which should be given every swimmer and canoeist Here are a few suggestions he listed: | [l 1. Avoid heavy.meals before going on | f the river. P 2. Wait at least an hour, especially ting “hot dogs” and ‘“pop.” fill the stomach with gas. 3. Remember submersion in cold water | draws the blood to the surface of the | body and awav from the digestive or- gans. Swimming is a violent exercise which calls for increased heart activity.| 4. Never swim alone. 5. Always swim at guarded places. “ 6. Learn to be a good all-around ! swimmer in a pool before you tackle river swimming. 7. In case of & canoe accident. stick | | to your boat. An ordinary 17 or 18 foot | canoe_will support. four persons, even though it is filled with water. 8. Every rowboat or canoe with an outboard motor should be considered as a motor boat and carry life pre- servers for each person, and a fire ex- tinguisher, 9. In case of drowning the patient is treated as for electrocution or gas| poisoning. The best treatment ix by hand pressure, requiring no machine, How te Handle Canoe, | The seventh rule recalls & recent demonstration by the commodore, as- | sisted by volunteer life-savers, of how | to handle a canoe in case of accident. It was shown that four persons could actually sit in the bottom of a water- filled and submerged canoe and still keep their heads above water. By paddling with their hands they could | also make progress forward. 1 The life-savers demonstrated that a man can be taken into a canoe over the side with perfect safety. The two men propelling the boat brace their paddles | sgainst the gunwale on either side of ' i the eraft with the aide of the blade fii down.
