STRIKERS ARMED FOR BATTLE IN GASTONIA

Citizens Promise ‘Bloody Reception’ If Meetings Are Held Today. p i/ 1 nited Press GASTONIA, N. C.. Sept. 14.—'Th* “reign of terror” in the new industrial south, centered today in South Gastonia, where organizers of the National Textile Workers’ Union, armed with shotguns, pistols and the usual hickory sticks, prepared for a demonstration in the village, despite warnings of a “bloody reception” issued through the local press by citizens. Fired by the urge of their communistic leader, Fred Erwin Beal, one of the defendants facing murder charges, in connection with the fatal shooting of Police Chief Aderholt on June 7. who, from his cell in the Mecklenburg county jail has told them, “go out and fight," preparations for combat with the challenging citizens have been under way more than a week. Time after time the rugged citizens of South Gastonia, especially those that, live in the village of the Pickney mill, have repulsed the invasion of the communistic union speakers. The last, encounter was a week ago, when Hugo Oehler, southern district organizer, with four others, was beaten severely and their car badly damaged by the angry crowd. "We will not be scared away this time," Oehler said today. “We have leased a lot on which to hold mass meetings and we intend to speaTf there Sunday in the face of all opposition." Despite efforts of county official* here and in Charlotte to confiscate strikers' ammunition and firearms, officials of the international labor defense said they are still well equipped. Gastonia authorities were determined to do all in their power to preserve peace, but Sheriff Eli P. Lineberger expressed doubt his men would be able to control a serious outbreak. "We havsa't men enough to patrol ' the whole south end of the city.” |he said. "If they start a serious | gun battle, as everything indicate* i they will, we shall be helpless to j stop It.”

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 14, 1929

BLOCK CHANCE TO TIE HANDS OFG.OIP.BOSS State Committee Charged With Dilatory Tactics to Aid Coffin. RULES CAN BE CHANGED Power May Be Taken from Chairman in Ousting of Precinct Chiefs. BY BEN STERN Rules which would check the ouster power of George V. Coffin, city Republican chairman, are being delayed in adoption by the Republican state committee so the chairman may name the city ticket, should the supreme court hold the city manager law unconstitutional, it was charged today. Anti-Coffin Republicans asserted that amendatory party rules, which would render powerless the club of ouster which Coffin waves over pre-* cinct committeemen to make them “fall in line,” have been considered for several months before the committee. These rules were drawn by Charles A. Roemler, Indianapolis attorney, last fall at the request of persons friendly to the administration. Action Held Up They then were considered and approved a meeting attended by Elza O. Rogers of Lebanon, state committee chairman: Ewing Emison of Vincennes, second district chairman, and Bert Fuller, campaign manager for Governor Harry G. Leslie. Rogers promised that the rules would be submitted to the state committee, it is said. They were, “in a, lukewarm manner." it was charged and further action has been delayed. Rule 145 is of paramount interest to anti-Coffin men. It has been rewritten to provide that any dispute over the seating of a precinct committeeman or any ouster move, may be appealed directly to the state committee, but never was adopted. Under the present rule, a dispute first is referred to the county committee. which is controlled by Omer Hawkins, prominent Coffin henchman, and then to the district committee. over which Coffin presides as district committeeman. Hopeless to Appeal “You can see how hopeless It would be for a precinct committeeman to appeal from being ousted by Coffin in such a setup," Harry Hendrickson, anti-Coffin leader, declared. “Last May at the city convention which elected Coffin city chairman, duly elected precinct, committeemen were refused credentials and the hall was packed with Coffin workers. “Yet, there was a sufficient number of election committeemen pres-* ent who would have revolted against the organization if they knew they could fight 8n ouster with a good chance of winning. “The city ouster rule has been invoked for years and always has been an organization rule. Prospect of Beating Coffin “If the amendatory rule is passed, there is excellent prospect of a fight being waged on any ticket which Coffin may try to put, over, but under the present rule such fight is j hopeless. “I would like to see a rule framed giving only the state committee power to oust.” Rogers declared he was not attempting to delay action on the rules to favor Coffin. “I am not interested in Coffin or ! anyone else.” he declared. “State | committee rules are not written to apply to ind'vidual cases. ' “The committee found it impossible to do any work at the get-to-gether meeting last Tuesday at i Lebanon and so we decided to take j no action until the next meeting, in about thirty days." Gives Coffin Advantage This delay, however, will give Coffin ample time to hold a city convention and name the ticket if t.h° supreme court rules against city manager law proponents, it was said. ; The new rules aho include an amendment to Rule 31, which will provide that only "duly elected committeemen or duly appointed vicecommitteemen shall vote." “In preparing these rules,” Roemler said, “I have attempted to fix matters so that one faction will not be able to control the machinery of a city committee meeting. This would clarifv the entire situation in rountv. if adopted." COPS SCEK$ C EK RACKETEERS Murder of New York Furrier Is Listed as Gangster Crime. j B" T tiff 'd Pres* BOSTON.

Youthful Husband-Attorney Continues Attempt to Prove ‘Becky’ Insane. Bu United Press NEW BRAUNFELS. Tex., Sept. 14. —The trial of Mrs. Rebecca Bradley Rogers, which reached its reatest emotional heights in the non-expert testimony of her youn husband, the defense attorney, returned to the cold technicalities of alienists and physicians today as Otis Rogers continued his tireless attempt to prove hi wife Insane. Otis had told how his college romance and secret marriage to “Becky” was wrecked when, shortly after the two left the campus of the University of Texas, his wife was arrested and charged with robbing the Farmers’ National Bank of Buda. Tex., today, clinging firmly to refense of his wife in what he termed “her hour of need,” he sought to explain that turning point in their lives by adducing testimony of experts in proof that the defendant’s mind is disorered. On the witness stand from which acquaintances of the girl had said she was unbalanced, Otis told the full story of their troubled lives from the time they were children together. Rogers testified without dramatic flourish and carefully evaded plays on sympathy. He gazed on aimlessly at the jury of twelve farmers and talked at times in a conversational tone to the crowded courtroom. Occasionall he glanced at Becky, but she gave no sign. Her arms were folded in her lap and she stared straight ahead, as she had done throughout the week. Rogers has made no effort to hasten proceedings and it was not believed the case would reach the jury prossibly before early next week.

The fierceness of the gal® left little hope that the crew might have survived the lashing sea had they had time to take to the boats, which was believed improbable. No trace of the wreckage of any of the Andaste’s boats had been found, although the tugs, Freedom and Liberty, still circled about the spot where the freighter went down, ! seeking bodies. Captain From Wisconsin The officers on the boat were Captain Albert Anderson, Sturgeon Bay, Wis.; First Mate, Charles Brown, Grand Haven. Mich.; Second Mate, J. J. McCadle. Cleveland: Engineer, S. J.

He took the debris to Grand Haven, from where the Andaste set out Monday night on a trip to Chicago.

Collins and Evans had been Included on the ship's roster and ifc had been presumed they were aboard until officials of the Construction Materials Company, to whom the Andaste’s cargo of sand was consigned. located them in Grand Haven. The number aboard then was set at twenty-five. The Andaste's fate was tragically like that of its sister ship, the Clifton, which sank in Lake Huron with twenty-eight men during a storm in 1924. Two other freighters, the Chicora and the Rouse Simmons, went down in Lake Michigan during similar storms, each with twen-ty-five men aboard. The Chicora sank in 1895, the Rouse Simmons in 1910. Captain Hall said the freighter’* wreckage was floating on the surface over an area of four or five miles.
