the hit column. Horace Clements
batted best. for the visitors.
Dawson Victorious Over Colquitt.
In a closely contested game Daw-
son defeated Colquitt by score of
3 to 2. 1t was the fastest game
played on the local diamond this sea-
son, lasting only one hour and twen-
ty-five minutes. Lanier did slab duty
for the home club. Though he was
hit pretty hard in the initial round
during the remainder of the battle
he showed them across in fine style.
Dixon and Scott, the Tennessee mar
vel, divided the work on the mound
for the visitors. The former was
touched up for total of seven hits
in the six rounds he toiled, while
Scott, who had just pitched the day
before, was knicked for only cou-
pie of hits.
Colquitt tailed a brace in the
opening chapter, but the locals a bit
later refused to be outdone, SO they
went one better. The score then re-
manned the some throughout the con-
test, though both sides threatened
several times. Miller and Brimm di-
vided the batting honors for the home
team, with George Cowart swatting
the pill best for the visitors.
Games This Week.
The local outfit has a strenuous
week ahead On Tuesday they bat
tie Sylvester in Sylvester, and the
rumor is prevalent that the Worth
county folks have strengthened ur
considerably The next day they
move to Buena Vista and do battle
there, returning home Thursday and
Friday to meet the Crisp county
gladiators from Cordele. Through q
hitch in plans the home team was un-
able to secure games with Lanett OF
West Point, but the fans can rest as
sured that these favorites will be
seen in action here in very short
time.

Congress advanced in the first instance. ''The
Trade Unions in Soviet Russia says the first re-
solution-practicaly became an inseparable part
of the Soviet system, necessary supplement- and
support of the proletarian dictatorship of the
Soviets." The second important resolution lays
it down that "the>Trade Unions are the funda-
mental basis of the proletarian state, the sole
organizers of labor in the process of production
and the chief tool in economic construction" These
tw definitions give an exhaustive description Of
the Trade Uions in the period of transition from
Capitalism to Socialism. The Trade Unions
are the foundation and support of the Soviet
State-a necessary supplement to the organs
of proletarian dictatorship-the Soviets, the
chief tool of economic construction and the only
organizer Of labor in the process of production.
These are the functions and the place of the
Trade Unions in the proletarian State based on
thirty months experience of joint work and
struggle, and this experience was fixed by the
resolutions of the third all-Russan Congress-

FORCING DOWN WAGES.
BY Nate l.. Welch.

Unemployment with attending privations is the
growing fear of industrial workers here in De-
troit. In spite of reassurances by the Board of
Commerce fear is gnawing at the vitals of the
workers lest they lose their jobs in the drive of
the opulent wealthy to reduce wages and labor
standards.
1t is estimated that $4,000 are out of work here
and many are leaving the city. The most striking
sign of unemployment is the number of dwellings
available for workers at reduced rates. Until very
recently rooms were so scarce that thousands of
families We're compelled to live in tents on the
outskirts and rents were screwed up to the
highest point.
From reliable authority it is learned that the
General Motors laid off about 80 per cent of its
office force and 20 per cent of its shop en-
ployes. The Timken-Axe Company is reported to
have laid off 20 percent of its office force and
20 per cent of its shop men. The Packard concern
is reported to have laid off 80 per cent of its
office force and about 25 per cent of its
mechanics. The Morgan Wright Tire Company
laid off about 1000 men.

AIDES to mean immediate subordination of the
Mons to the State and the second all-Russian
congress of Trade Unions held in January, 1919,
n the question of the character of the relations
etween the Soviet organs and the Trade Unions
nd their gradual merging declared
"The task of socializing all means of produc-
tion and the organization of society on new
Socialist basis demands stubborn, prolonged
work on the reconstruction of the whole gov
ernment machine, the creation of new organs
of control and regulation of production and
consumption resting upon the organized initia-
tive of the masses of the workers themselves.
This compels the Trade Unions to take a
more active and energetic part in the work of
the Sovets. by direct participatin in all the
State organs, by organizing mass proletarian
control over their activities, by carrying out
seperate tasks which might confront the Soviet
Government through their organizations, by CO.
operating in the reconstruction of various State
departments, and by the gradual substitution
of them by their own organizations by means
of using the organs of the union with those of
the State.
1t would be mistake, however, in the pre-
sent stage of development of Trade Unions with
the as yet imperfect state organisation i'm
medately to convert the unions into State
organs, and to merge the former into the latter
OF for the unions to arbitrarily usurp the func-
tions of the State. The whole process of COM
plete fusions Of the Trade Unions with the
State organs (the process which we call stati-
ficaton Of Trade Unions) must take place as
the inevitable result of their joint close and
harmonious working, and the preparation by
the Trade Unions of the broad masses of the
workers for the task of managing the State
machine and all the administrative organs"
The perspective outlined by the Second Con-
gress was subjected to new test.A year and
three months of stern civil war passed, and
whatever the trials of the Trade Unions, with the
exception of an insignificant minority, they
fought shoulder to shoulder with the Soviet Gov
ernment against the Russian and world counter
revolution 1t was this organic connection with the
