« A3 KENTUGKY MINERS DISTRESS DETAILED 65-Page Report Shows Grave Need for Relief in Strike Area. By the Associated Press. FRANKFORT, Ky, December 7.— Many persons in the Harlan County coal fields are in need of .relief, Gov. Flem D. Sampson was informed in & voluminous report submitted to him last | night by A. A. Bablitz, Lexington, and J. Smith Hays, Winchester, whom he designated last month as a special com- mitiee to investigate conditions in Har-| lan_County. The report contained a 65-page syn- opsis of testimony from miners, officials, coal operators and others, in addition | to & 24-page summary and nine volumes of testimony. It detailed conditions generally in the strife-torn Southeast- em Kentucky coal fields, where State | troops were sent last Summer following | the killing of four men Say Red Cross Aid Withheld. “Witnesses testified before us the Red | Cross had refused aid to the hungry miners and their families, and we hear from others, probably rumors, that the Red Cross would not aid persons in any way involved in the labor trouble,” the report said | “We were surprised to learn that an | organization with the red cross on its | banner, the emblem of the Crucifixion | and blood of Christ, could turn a deaf ear or refuse to aid needy men, women and children. To collect funds and distribute necessary relief, the service | of an organization like the Red Cross is needed. We hope our information concerning its refusal to act in such an emergency has been misleading and that it will now, at the beginning of Winter, take up its work and lead in the relief so necessary for ‘the guilty | and the innocent in Harlan County. Many are in real need, are destitute.” Union Is Blamed. The report blamed the national miners' union for the labor trouble in the coal fields The committee had spent some time gathering information. It was appoint- ed about the same time a committee headed by Theodore Dreiser, New York novelist, made an investigation in Har- lan County. FIND WAY TO CONTROL | AIR IN ARMY BLIMPS | U. 8 Engineers Plan Automatic Device to Distribute Pressure Evenly in Non-Rigid Craft. One of the greatest problems in con- nection with the regulatipn of pressure in non-rigid airships during flight has been solved by Army Air Corps engi- neers, who have designed an automatic air-pressure control device, the War Department announced today. The problem of maintaining uniform air pressure in the control ballonet has always been difficuli. Control in the past has been by hand. In rough Weather .pressure undergoes such rapic fluctuations that the pilot cannot read- ily make adjustments. Not only have the adjustments been difficult to make, but they have taken the attention of the pilot from other vitally important | duties, The new automatic pressure control Hungry Reporters Ma rch With “Army” Marchers Identified Who are these 1,500 individ- uals who descended on Washing- ton today in the so-called “hunger march”? In reality they are members of the radical W. I. R. (Workman's International Relief), of avowed communistic sympathy. A few stragglers, mostly young boys, accompany them. Two Star reporters were as- signed to meet and fall in with the columns of “marchers.” One made contact at Cumberland, Md, the other at Havre de Grace. Dressed in old clothes, they did not reveal their identities, and followed the marchers to Wash- ington, questioning them when- ever possible. They found the marchers well organized and the leaders _extremely suspicious of strangers. Their stories are pre- sented herewith, —— FIND DELEGATION IS COMPOSED OF NOISY BOYS AND COMMUNISTS. further out of their way to escort you | out of the city.” Grumbling, the officers of the line moved away. | | Soon after midnight those who weren't | already tired had worn themselves dow: by singing and shouting, and “flopped | either on the park benches, or on the | | floor.

All Will Farm, By the Associated Press FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., December 7.— Communal life on 6,000 acres of cut- over timber land near here is looked to by 600 jobless citizens of Tulsa, Okla., as a solution to urban unemployment and their salvation from the “machine age.” Seeking to establish themselves in their various trades and professions, 75 colonists are living already in rude huts on the tract of land between the towns of Huntsville and Eureka Springs, in Madison and Carroll countfes. Their leader. Dr. Herbert H. Clough of Tulsa, 15 administrator, physician and pastor. He formally launched the project Saturday by purchase of the land.
