LABOR'S VOTES FOR NEW DEAL MAY TURN TIDE Union Indorsements Seen as Possible Victory Key in Close States BY THOMAS L. STOKES WASHINGTON, May 6.—Labor votes pledged to President Roosevelt may tip the balance in such closely fought states as New York and Pennsylvania, and perhaps in Ohio and Michigan, an analysis of recent developments indicated today. These include indorsement of President Roosevelt's re-election by the United Mine Workers of America, the American Federation of Hosiery Workers, the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor and scheduled indorsement by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers at their convention which opens next Monday in Cleveland. All of these organizations are strong in Eastern industrial areas. Back of this labor movement for President Roosevelt are two of the country's most forceful labor leaders—John L. Lewis, president, Unitrd Mine Workers, and Sidney Hillman, president, Amalgamated Clothing Workers —who are joined with George L. Berry, president, International Pressmen's Union, in the recently formed Labor Non-Partisan Political League. Organisation Rises From Fight This organization is an outgrowth of the fight led by Mr. Lewis, advocate of industrial union organization for mass production industries, against President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, who is standing by the traditional craft basis of organization. The potentialities of the Lewis-Hillman-Berry campaign for President Roosevelt can be illustrated graphically in the case of New York and Pennsylvania, with their combined total of 83 electoral votes. In Pennsylvania, for instance, are between 255,000 and 260,000 members of the United' Mine Workers, she Amalgamated Clothing Workers and the Hosiery union. These, voting as a unit in a state where Roosevelt strength is reported on the increase, might well decide the issue. The Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, which shattered all precedents by indorsing the President last week, has 400,000 members. Union Membership Counted New York State has more than 200,000 members of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. The latter organization, which is expected to indorse the President, has 140,000 porkers in New York City. West Virginia has between 107.000 and 110,000 members of the United Mine Workers; Ohio, 35,000 and Indiana, 20,000, while automobile workers in Michigan offer a fertile field for the Democrats in the coming campaign. This campaign is not the first in which an effort has been made to line up labor. Hitherto it has not been eminently successful. In his independent campaign for the presidency in 1925 the late Senator La Follette won indorsement by organized labor, but although he got 5,000,000 votes, he carried only his own stat?. The A. F. of L. announced in 1920 that James M. Cox’s labor record was better than Warren G. Harding's, hut Harding won overwhelmlnglv. This yea:, however, the situation differs in many respects. Labor is beholden to President Roosevelt for definite results—collective bargaining under NRA, the Wagner Labor Relations Act, the Guffey Coal Act, among others. Realignment Appears In Offing Labor, through the initiative of such men as Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hillman and Mr. Berry, seems to be Tarty to contribute to the realignment of political parties which appears to be in the making. These three men quickly saw the possibilities for advancement of labor interests in the New Deal and all three early became parts of the machinery which the Administration set up under NRA, an arrangement which has been helpful to both sides. The Roosevelt, labor policies have been responsible for breaking into other political units. For instance. David Dubinsky. president of the International Ladies Garment Workers. recently resigned from the Socialist Party to join in the campaign for Mr. Roosevelt’s re-election. Only the future can tell whether labor 1s headed for an alliance with the new Democratic party that President Roosevelt seems to be shaping, or whether the direction is toward an independent labor party. All indorsements thus far have been for President Roosevelt and not for the Democratic party.

U. S. RHUMBA VERSION MAKES CUBAN GIRL SAD Americans Lack Appreciation of Rhythm of Dance, She Says. PHILADELPHIA, May 6.—Americans’ attempts to do the rhumba are amusing and often pathetic, in the opinion of a pretty, native Cuban girl, herself a dancer. ‘‘lt makes me very, very sad to see Americans try to dance the rhumba,” said Josaftna Gonzales, who came here to taka an executive secretarial course. ‘‘ln no way does the American interpretation resemble the real rhumba,” she added. “I’m not criticising the dancers of this country. They do the best they can and they, perhaps, are no tto blame because they have no appreciation of the rhythm and the poetry this dance.” Black-Draught Good Laxative Black-Draught has been kept on hand for all the family in the home of Mr. W. A. Lemons, of Independence, Va., since twenty years ago. Mr. Lemons writes that he takes it as a laxative in cases of ‘‘headache, dull, tired feeling, biliousness.” ‘‘And I take it if I feel uncomfortable after a heavy meal." he adds. “I especially use It for sick headache. It certainly is good." Wh* a maa aay* ••Blark-Pranght is good.” it is probably because he remember a the prompt, relief it brought in constipation troubles.

In today's chapter. Dr. T>. E. Robertson's story of the Moose River mine entombment reaches a moving climax. The narrative is printed exactly as he dictated it to a stenographer in his room in the Halifax General Hospital.) BY DR. D. E. ROBERTSON JJALIFAX, N. S„ May 6. —Having got myself in the frame of mind to expect the crucial point of the whole affair was being approached, I was content to wait with the utmost patience. I was not suffering in the same degree as my friend, Alf Scadding. His physical sufferings were of a kind that pleaded for immediate amelioration. The last hour or so we became conscious that work had again been resumed. The scuffling pushing and talking had commenced again, and we judged that another shift had come on. We both lay facing to the north, and I was wondering in a detached sort of way what manner of men were working, trying to extricate us. This was my first trip to Nova Scotia, and although I had had many close friends from that province and had known the "Blue Noses” in France, I had really not known the miners. Yet obviously there were some fellows working away among the fallen timbers and rocks of this mine, following an urge that compelled them to take chances no man in his reason would take for pay. These vv-re the heroic. mam I KNEW perfectly well that the advancing men were doing one of the most cold-bloodedly Courageous things that a man can be called upon to do. Apparently they were not advancing through a large tunnel which was well supported and timbered, but through some rat hole they were making. It might easily collapse at any one of a thousand points. Alf was sleeping when the voice wakened me from a drowse, and I looked up to see volumes of light in the shaft. I was not deceived by this, as one can very readily conjure up visions after being in the dark for a long time. But the voice came again and the light persisted. I wakened Alf and shouted: "Can you see the skip? You are in the shaft.” The voice answered; "Yes.” and immediately through the side wall at our feet slithered two miners, with their miners’ hats and lights, down to the floor, accompanied not even by a small stone. Ecstasy: a a a WE were sitting up. The miners grasped our hands, and it is given to few people to enjoy the pleasure of seeing brave men at the fulfilment of their heroic deed. It was impossible for them to do all that they desired to do in the first half minute. One produced a flask containing soup. They stripped off their sweaters and shirts and wrapped them around us, and I was amazed at how soon the extra sweater warmed me. Yet the warmth of these heroes

wou'd melt anything. One of them, quite overcome, had to lean back against the wall. When the throes of the first excitement were over I telephoned Charlie, apprising him of the wonderful arrivals, and so discontinuing the use of the telephone that had been the factor in making our imprisonment bearable, and I believe one of the major factors in our release. While we were waiting, others arrived. I had found that the first two arrivals were from other localities—Stellarton and Goldenville—and presently, to my utter amazement, a thick-set man in miner's’ clothes was introduced to me as the Minister of Mines, which was only capped by another introduction to the Minister of Health. To the latter I reported the death of our friend Magill, and pointed out where his body lay. m m m THE Minister of Health had rigged up a sort of belt which could be used in taking us to the surface. I put this on first, but in reality I did not need it because I -Mould make better time under my cwn power. With Alf it was different. His iegs were in such shape that he was unfit for anything but the belt. Jack Simpson, one of these Hercules. wanted to carry me on his bacK. His back was bare, his shirt having been taken off. and he was strong enough to carry three of me. But it was impossible for a bulk such as his, with me on his back, to get through the small tunnel. However, we made a start and I began to scale the side wall to the opening, but I had to get off his back. He preceded me and my journey began. I found that we were crawling alongside of and around the pipe in the east part of the shaft, and along this extremely tortuous opening were men pressed against the side of the waff, giving me space to pass. These men were there by arrangement, in the expectation that we would have to be passed up by hand. They were the draegermen. They wfere supposed, if necessity arose, to lie on the foot of the channel and pass the person from one to the other over them. However, thank God, that was unnecessary. As I made this tortuous ascent and passed these men I looked into their brave eyes and marveled. m mm THEIR little channel was shored up with bits of two-by-fours and what-nots, probably 18 inches or two feet long. There were wedges driven in here and there, holding up rocks and beams. At one place the channel had Amazing Offer FREE to Victims of Stomach IJlccrs Due to Exessive Acidity Every sufferer from stomach ulcers, gas, pain, heartburn, nausea or other distress due to hyperacidity should accept this free offer.

come right out into the middle of the old shaft, because I crawled over the rails and the cable of the skip as it lay in its position. The going was fairly heavy, but one could easily make one's length or more before taking out a little time for rest. Presently I came to a passage that was somewhat larger and was still lined with men. Some of these were sent out ahead of us to make room for our passage. As we came to the bottom of the ladder, whicn seemed to me about six or eight feet high, this part of the tunnel was lighted with electric light. They told me they had a portable plant running on the surface. Nothing now separated me from the surface but this ladder. I could stand erect and I could make this ladder if I had a moments rest. n a a JACK SIMPSON wanted to carry me up the ladder, but I again demurred, and he allowed me my moment’s rest. I was then able to make the steps. I got my head above ground, to see two Mounties; men in the uniform of the Army Medical Corps; rows of blinking cameras; Ed Gallie, with glasses shining in the light, a loud shout ” —and Charlie Ivey. Kind hands tuffed CDr. Robertson's own word) me down to a stretcher, army blankets were wrapped around me. I was picked up, cameras still clicking. I was put into the ambulance. I was taken to the temporary hospital at the mining office. I was taken out of the .ambulance, carried into the office and —there was my wife. (Thus ends Dr. Robertson’s personal story of his thrilling escape from death. Alf Scadding, his co-survivor, will tell his version of the disaster, beginning tomorrow.)
