TEXTILE STRIKE No strike in history has had such an efficient publicity office as textile strike headquarters in Washington. It has forced the textile tex-tile emDlovers to hire Bill Lawson away from the NRA publicity bureau bu-reau at a fat salary. . . . It is a fact that old-line A. F. of L. leaders were vigorously opposed to the textile strike. They were afraid they could not hold their workers in line. The issue was forced by the rank and file. Up until near the strike's zero hour, textile employers thought labor was bluffing. Also the employers were strengthened by cthe fact that a large textile surplus was on hand. They had been asking the NRA for a short shutdown in order to clear up reserves. The strike is giving it to them. . . Privately, members of the national labor board express surprise that so many workers have struck. They estimate the walk-out at fifty fif-ty per cent, believe this will increase. in-crease. Reason for the expected increase is the fact that skilled machinists have struck. Upon them, unskilled labor is largely dependent.

Loans are not restricted to home owners but may be made to any owners of improved property, Mr. Sanford further explained, on the personal signature of the applicant. appli-cant. The property's being mortgaged mort-gaged is ot a bar to the loan, but taxes must be paid.

Therefore There-fore he was found innocent of a charge of unlawful fishing brought by George Cox, state game warden. A jury of four men comprised com-prised of DonR. Davis, L. T. Timpson, L. G.

Modification of the school system to more closely link with social and economic trends and to fit the student better for life, was one of the paramount ideas that came out of the teachers' teach-ers' institue Friday, and will be expressed in the curriculum this coming season. Harmonizing the educational system of Provo to fit the student to the swiftly - paced times, will doubtless be out of the keynotes of the new year.

Many of the district insructors hav taken additional training in schools throughout the country during the past summer season and new teachers added possess excellent qualifications. Superintendent H. A. Dixon has led out in the never-ceasing quest for better qualifications, having spent the summer attending school on the west coast. He has completed com-pleted an enlightening survey that is expected to go a long way toward to-ward b&tter fiHng- the- needs of each individual student and to keep a close record of his needs and progress.

Other testimony was introduced to tne effect that the moon comes up in that particular fisfflng hole at about 10 o'clock or earlier.

Sept. 8 (U.R The Holiday liner Morro Castle, bound home from Havana with 558 passengers and crew aboard, was struck by lightning off the New Jersey coast today and turned into a flaming holacaust in which men, women and children were trapped and burned to death. The dead were estimated by the coast guard at 200 and by Ashbury Park police at 250. Survivors were being bro'ht ashore at various ports along the Jersey coast.

Many passengers passen-gers were trapped in their cabins with no hope of escape. Others threw themselves into the sea. Lifeboats Unmanageable Probably six of the 12 lifeboats managed to get over tin side, with varying numbers of men and women wom-en aboard. They were unmanageable unmanage-able in the oft -snore storm. Some of the boats upset in tho surf trying to make shore. Coast guards and life-guards helped the survivors to land. Many were badly burned or otherwise injured. They were treated at hospitals, police stations and hotels. It was estimated that probably more than 300 persons, crow and passengers, escaped with their lives, although it was almost miraculous how passengers managed man-aged to get out of their cabins, und the crew I roni the depths ol the ship. Enveloped In Flames The lightning apparently hit an oil tank, and in an incredibly short time the liner was sheathed in flames. Most of the survivors were taken tak-en aboard the liner Monarch of Bermuda, the Andre F. Lucken-back Lucken-back and the City of Savannah. The others, pitifully few in number, num-ber, reached the beach. One woman, wom-an, Mrs. Howard Panino, of Bangor, Ban-gor, Pa., an expert swimmer, swam eight miles to shore through the heavy sea. Her husband jumped jump-ed in with her but was believed drowned. Survivors had thrilling and simetime.s heartrending stories to tell of their escape. The crew could not fight the furious fire and turned to aiding screaming women and frightened men.

It was a crackle as though timber was splintering. Ordinarily, it was not enough to awaken me. Some power was watching over me, yes? At any rate I went to the door, opened it. Flames leaped leap-ed in. I slammed the door shut. Then I went to one of the windows overlooking the deck. Tries to C rawl Through I decided to crawl through, though it was quite narrow. I had gotten half way through when I was convinced I couldn"t make it. I pulled back in. Then I saw a sailor on deck. He shouted: "Come on, lady. Climb through. Don't lose your nerve." I took courage and managed to get through, though it was very narrow. I stood on deck about a quarter of an hour while the sailors sail-ors were trying to put. out that terrible fire.
