Thl I true now of the Morro Castle, the Ward liner which burned eight mile off lh New Jersey coast with a loss of 133 lives. Morro CasTh tle, largo, swift, and luxurious In Its appointments, was returning from seven-dacruise to Havana. Her master, ('apt. Robert Wilmott, had died of heart disease only a few hour before the tragedy, and William F. Warms, chief olllcer, was In command. With 12 other officers and members of the crew he stood by the biasing ship until the hulk was towed to Asbury Iark and beached. Several of the surviving passengers testified before the federal steamboat Inspection board that no alarm was sounded and thnt little or no aid was given the passengers by the members of the crew. Then George W. Itogprs, chief radio operator, and hla first assistant, George I. Alag-na- , told of the delay In sending out the SOS call, asserting they could not obtain an order for It from the bridge. This, of course, was by the usual reluctance of steamship officers to call for help because the salvage charges are . beavy. Alegna was put under arrest as a material witness after he bad told his story to a federal grand Jury. The value of his testimony was somewhat lessened by Rogers' admission to both the bonrd and the grand Jury that Alngna had been distrusted by Captain Wilmott as a radical and an agitator, and that Alagna some months ago tried to Instigate a riot on the ship as a protest against the food served the crew. The first actual evidence Indicating that the fire was of Incendiary origin was furnished by Quartermaster Gus Harmon. "It was like the flash of a he declared. "It couldnt gun, have been gasoline because It trav. eled much faster. It might have been some sort of chemical, all of which would light up when one point of It started. There was a funny acrid smoke coming out of the flash. Other officers of the ship testified that they believed the fire was of Incendiary origin and was fed by gasoline or chemicals, but they could suggest no motive for such a horrible crime. Acting Captain Warms said he based his opinion that the blaze was Incendiary on two facts: First, because on August 27, on a previous voyage to Havana, there was a suspicious blaze In the No. 5 hold ; see ond, because reports to him Indicated that the writing room locker. In which the fatal fire started, exThe flames, he explained ploded. further, acted "like gasoline or kerosene, and fire extinguishers had no effect on them. The chief of the secret service In Havana declared the burning of the Morro Castle was an act of sabotage by members of a secret International maritime association that takes Its orders from Communists in Moscow. always In negll-gen- y panic-stricke- n P'FFORTS of President Roose-velt- s mediation board to bring about a peaceful settlement of the textile strike failed when the employers, according to the board, refused to make any concessions that would open the way to arbitration. The strike leaders had Insisted that all the mills must remain closed pending arbitration, and this wes rejected by the nvil owners. The cotton textile employers then declared flatly that they did not believe the Issues at stake are "appropriate subjects for arbitration. The Immediate result of this breakdown In negotiations was the resumption of violence and disorder, especially In Rhode Island. of strikers and their Thousands sympathizers fought with National Guard detachments In Saylesvllle and Woonsocket, driving back the greatly outnumbered soldiers. Tear gas, nausea gas and finally bullets were used to check the rioters and many persons were wounded, some fatally. Governor Creen mad concessions to the Saylesvllle strikers and ordered thnt there should be no more shooting. Rut at Woonsocket conditions grew momentarily worse and the police commissioner of the city asked the governor to obtain federal troops to stop the rioting. The major in command of the National Guardsmen there admitted the situation was out of control. Great crowds were looting shops In the downtown section e and others were threatening the WomsH ket Rayon company's plant Fearing major bloodshed and death. Governor Green read the riot act and asked President Thom-F. Mi Mahon of the United Textile Worker of America to hasten there from Washington. The governor also ordered the mobilization of 1,000 World war veterans. ) It('K PLAN DAK V IOTTO NEWS TREES M KE PROGRESS AKItlNGK FALL STALE BLUE FOR FALL WOMEN t 'fi i r A A d Riotous Strikers Held Back by Guardsmen y i r s F . xx-- v ' K ? - Ay'4',,' Striking mill workers giving way before the bayonets of National Guardsmen after a riot at the offices of the Woodside mill near Greenville, S.
