Two New Pitchers Promising.
OF what might be called the newer
pitchers. there are two who may de-
velop something. One is Carlson, who
once was with Pittsburgh He was
sent to Wichita Falls last season. Out
in the Texas League he played win
ming ball. The time was in the Ma
tional League when he was a winner
He may develop into a dependable
man for the Phils. Then there is
Glazner. There is a mystery about
that kid. When he was with Pitts
burgh some thought he was the best
pltcher IN the leaSue or soon would
be. Then came q season in which he
could do nothing for Pittsburgh ex-
cept lose. Should he get a second
lease on life he is another pitcher
who will be asked to take his regular
turn.

NEW BRITISH ELECTION NEARS;
CONSERVATIVE VICTORY SEEN
Labor. With Excellent Record in Foreign Policy
Believed Held Up Only by Aversion to
General Vote.

declining Liberal party is divided
both over the issues which are pre-
venting harmony within the Tory and
La Dor parties and over questions
which are domestic; that is. concern
ing the Liberals themselves
One may question whether the Tory
party. in view of it's present differ
ences, has any real desire to take
Office at this moment after having
run the risks of another general
election, for which Il would have to
bear the dangerous responsibility,
since II would have to take the in
itiative in turning Labor out. To
come back to power with a narrow
majority, divided party and a pat
ent lack of trained leadership and
have to wrestle with Irish, German
and French problems would be an
unattractive prospect.
BY contrast 1t H. clear that the
treaty with Soviet Russia has alarm
ed very considerable fraction of the
British business world. just as the
Dawes plan as adopted at London
has created a similar apprehe nsion in
other business quarters. The tacit
understanding was that Labor should
be permitted to hold off1c. without
being allowed to do anything of inn
portance in the way of carrying out
it's pledges. but the Soviet treaty goes
beyond this conception.
Grave Problems Pressing.
In addition there are very grave
imperial problems pressing. India is
again showing unrest, and the dis
pute with Egypt over the Sudan may
at any moment precipitate trouble of
IA very serious character. And the ma :
jority OF Tories and Liberals are
hardly ready to let Labor deal with
imperial problems. while the Tory
party is bound, in the end, to support
Ulster when the Irish boundary
question presses. Further than this.
the trade reports of the first half
year have shown rather disturbing
rise in the imports as contrasted with
exports and there has been a slight
but significant increase in the unem-
ployment figures.
1t is plain. then, that Ireland. India.
Egypt or even more probably the Rus
sian treaty may precipitate political
crisis, Labor defeat and new gen.
eral election within the next few
months. II this were followed by a
Tory return to power it is hard to avoid
the conclusion that there would be a
corresponding change in France and
Herriot would give way to a premier
representing less liberal views. Such a
double change might have very far
reaching repercussions in Europe, and

ORGANIZED LABOR
In indian APP Oils
AIDS NC NAMARA

Especial to The DAILY WORKER.)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 1S-The
Central Labor union Of indianapolis,
has voted to defend John Mcnamara,
secretary and business agent for the
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
union, in jail here on a charge of hav-
ing attempted to destroy the million
dollar building owned by the Elks
club.
At the same time, Sheriff George
Snider and Chief of Police Hermann
Rikhoff announce that they have their
forces ready to double the guard if
the need arises.
The controversy is assuming the ma
ture Of labor war. On the one side
are the union iron workers, backed
by the organized labor bodies of In
dianapolis. On the other are the open
shop builders and the Flaw enforce
ment" officials.
The feeling of the labor bodies on
the subject of the Mcnamara arrest
runs high, partly because it is gen.
orally understood that Mcnamara is
being prosecuted, and partly because
the bail demanded to release McNa-
mara from jail has been placed at
10000 sum which the workers
have found themselves unable to
raise.
A. w. Lyday, secretary Of the CEN
trail labor union and representative Of
the local miners organization says
that he believes the persecution of
Mcnamara threatens the destruction
of all union principles.
Even Prosecuting Attorney William
H. Remy has explained the indict-
ments on which the arrest was made
as piece Of legal strategy devised
by Acknowledgement Lesh. He admit
ted that it would be hard to prove
that Mcnamara was the man who did
the damage to the Elks building.

Newspaper Drivers
Take Up Question of
Strike to Win Demands

Strike by all union newspaper
drivers Of Chicago against every pa
per in the city, with the single ex-
ception of the DAILY WORKER, was
being considered yesterday by the To-
cal union at its meeting at Chauffeurs'
Hall, 220 S. Ashland avenue.
The strikers demand pay of S45 a
week, the six-day week and the eight
hour day, and two weeks vacation
every year with full pay. The drivers
at present get only S36 week, and
are forced to work nine hours a day,
receiving no. vacation whatever
Many OF the newspapers have Of
fered scale of $40 week for six
days and $42 a week for seven days.
The union Is determined at the start
to refuse anything less than their de-
mands.
The capitalist newspapers Of the
city, fearing that their low rate of
payment would bring a strike shortly,
have organized group Of over 300
scabs, the union men claim. The 10.
cal is making plans TO deal with these
scabs.
