Accurate throwing to bases. in my opinion. has to come to a catcher natur- ally. man can always improve him. self. believe you should. in the first place, sacrifice speed for accuracy.
 Most catchers breaking in the game think that the more speed they get on the ball, the better throwing results they will get. That is ali wrong, because if the pitchers hold the runners on the bases, 1t is almost impossible to be an accurate thrower.
 To improve throwing, I would advise a young catcher to aim over the pitcher s left shoulder. and always throw for the base. and not the man For third base, be sure and do not collide with the bats man. The throw then is simple.

PATERSON, N. j., Aug. 25.-
Work in dark, dusty old mills

have them adjusted, speeding
up in so-caIIed modern" mills,
doubling up Of work upon
workers employed and con-
sequent unemployment for
others, Iengthening of hours,
these and other foul conditions
in the Paterson mills forced the
silk workers into active battle
with their bosses.
The strike of the weavers,
led by the Associated Silk
Workers Union, is we'll into it's
second week and the enthusi-
astic fighting spirit of the strik-

Every morning thousands Of the
strikers pour into Turn Hall at the

Brass Check Press
Admits Fake Story;
Reporter the Goat
(By Federated Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Herald
Tribune confesses in it's issue of Aug.
20 to a 1000-carat newspaper fake.
The reporter, as usual is made the
goat and dismissed. The fake was
the Herald-Tribune's sensational story
a week earlier of floating cabaret"
anchored Is miles off Fire Island-a
place where millionaires drank and
whirled with light loves.
Since then other newspapers have
been conducting Investigations which
yielded nothing and now the Herald
Tribune admits that the yarn is the
bunk. OF course the paper didn't
mean to print lie, 1t says. The re-
porter is to blame and he gets the axe.
Union men wish the Herald-Tribune
were as willing to repudiate bunk
stories against strikers and radicals
as 1t is against the millionaire class
that is accused for making a joke Of
the law outside of the deep sea limit.

JOHN |. LEWIS
LANDS ON G.. 0. P.
STRATEGY STAFF
Miners Union Head Is
Picked by Butler

John L. Lewis, International Presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, was selected by William M.
Butler as member of the advisory
board which is to map out the plan
of campaign for the G. o. P. during
the campaign.
The advisory committee is headed
by John T. Adams, of Iowa, former
chairman of the National Committee
of the republican party, and one of
Harry Daugherty's strongest hackers.
II was Adams who used the Bureau
of Investigation of the Department of
Justice to dig up information that he
could use against the party's enemies.
Lewis is the second international
president OF the American Federation
of Labor, who has failed to follow
Gompers into the LaFollette camp.
Major George L. Berry. who had the
A. F. of l.. backing for the vice-presi-
dency on the democratic ticket openly
declared for John w. Davis.
1t is expected that other labor
takers will break away from the La
Toilette movement as soon as they
succeed in getting a satisfactory
price.
William Morgan Butler, who picked
John L. Lewis as a member Of the
advisory committee Of the G. o. p,
is the man who is being exposed in
the DAILY WORKER as one of the
greatest organizers of stool pigeons
in the country.

DAWES PLAN
EXPOSED BY
COMMUNISTS
Calls on Workers to
Fight Against 1t

The Dawes Plan, a beautiful
scheme Matched by the finance
capitalists of America to get a
strangIehoId on Germany, and
reduce the workers of that
country to industrial peonage,
is now an interesting matter of
discussion in every country in
the world.
The workers are led to believe
that the Dawes Plan will bring
peace and prosperity. The fol-
lowing statement issued by the
Communist International tears
this Ubiquitous scheme asunder
and exposes it in its true light.
1t also shows the role of the
social-democratic parties of
Europe are playing as servants
of the capitalist class. 1t reads
as follows:

as to method, but not as to the wag-

senator's attitude toward the war was
the same as his present attitude to
exploitation of the working class by
the employers. LaFollette is not op-

its methods and differs from the

FOSTERS VOTE
TO COME FROM
WORKING CLASS
Straw Ballots Indicate
Strong Showing

How many men and women
are there in the United States
that would name William z.
Foster, Communist, as their
political leader?
One of the popular pastimes
of political prophets today is
the gathering of straw votes to
show which way the wind
blows.
It would be a rash person who
would make any hard and fast pre-
dictions so early in the game as to
how many votes will be cast for Eos
ter.
Straw Vote In Shops.
But If straw vote is to show the
strength of the Foster wind it must
be taken in the shops and factories,
among the workers, and not at state
fairs and on the business streets as
the capitalist press polls their test
votes, where the workers are automa-
tically excluded with scattering ex-
ceptions. When workers in the shops
begin to take straw votes, we will
have some indications of the prospect
i've Foster vote.
Until this is done it may be inter
esting to see what the capitalist press
IS willing tcacOnoede to Foster in. their
privately-conducted polls. There is,
for example, the poll taken at the Wis
consin state fair by Chicago daily,
which gave Foster approximately one
and one-half per cent.
Crowd of WelI-To-Do.
The crowds at state fair are pre-
dominantly well-to-do agricultural and
middle-class elements, so that a Com
munist candidate certainly has little
immediate appeal to them. But if we
would assume that the whole elector-
ate should this year follow the Wis
consin state fair crowd then, on the
basis of the 1920 volume of voters for
the whole country, Foster would re-
ceive approximately 100000 ballots.
How many votes will be added be-
cause of the new women voters this
year is problematical, but 1t is safe
to say 1t will be at least one-fourth,
which would make Fosters proper
ton over half a million, accepting. OF
course, the state fair of Wisconsin as
the index.
Won't All BE Counted.
OF course this takes for granted
that all these voters will have
chance to vote for Foster and that
their votes will be counted. But this
will not be true in states where the
Workers Party fail to get onto the bal
lot, on account of lack of organization
or because (if such thing is think
able) our members do not do their
duty.
And then we must expect, where we
do not have watchers at the polls, that
innumerable votes will be thrown into
the waste basket IL they are for
Foster
All of which points out some OF the
main tasks facing the Workers Party
in the course Of the election struggle.
Get Word From Factories.
But the Communists cannot accept
any capitalist-conducted straw vote as
indicating the working-class currents
Before we draw any conclusions about
what Fosters vote will be, we must
begin to get word from the railroad
shops, from the steel mills, from the
packing houses, from the clothing fac
tories. from the mines-and we want
to know who took the polls and in
what manner they were conducted.
When such news begins to come in
the DAILY WORKER will analyze it
and pass II on to our readers.

HERRIN, ILL.,, Aug. 25.-WhiIe

Ku Klux Khan, was meeting to
advise the breathIessIy waiting

The Herrin convention of
coal operators, Kluxers, bust

members and railroad magnates
marks the latest stage in the
drive to completely break the

The demand has been made by the
coal operators, thru their president,
for a wage reduction and an open

a fight to a finish.
