VISITING TEAM
FIRST VICTORS.
LOCAL HIGH DEFEATED 22-l3-
CITY SWAMPS COLLEGE
IN OPENER.

Showing only flashes of their
true form the local high school
basketball team disappointed its
hackers in the CUNTS encounter
with the Mountain Iron five Friday
night and emerged out of the strug-
gle on the sad end of a 22-13 score.
On the following night the City
teams overwhelming defeat of the
Junior College spoke well for THEN
incoming season. The score was
29-5.
A fair-sized crowd consisting
mainly of students was scattered
throughout the spacious bleachers OF
the new gymnasium during the
high school game. Only handful
of fans witnessed the Saturday
nights game. Crowds that taxed
the capacity of the Washington
Auditorium last winter would BIZ
afforded more than plenty of elbow
room in this new and excellent
gym.
To the sport psychologist the los:
of the opening game of the season
is not so disastrous as commonly
supposed. The team will then realize
its own shortcomings in a stronger
light than previously, and viii
naturally devote more time to the
effacement of these faults. This i'm
provement will prove to be of great
er value in the long run. And Ely
with thirteen more games ahead OF
her is certainly in for a long run
The flaws did not go unnoticed by
Coach Buckley and he is devotine
the major part of the practice ses
sions to their erasement.
Several times during the "amt

were the silver Innings of the darl
cloud. But most of the time the!
lad to be content with sloppy pass
ing and fioor-work. The form tht
high school five displayed in the
Junior College game and in practice
scrimmages was sorrowfully lacking
Instead of the snappy passing at
tack they had been using, fumbling
was prevalent throughout the en-
counter. Although Mountain Iror
did not show surprising strength
they possessed an uncanny shooting
ability. Hardly any of their filings
were pot-shots while most of then
were losses from the middle of the
floor. This was especially true Of
the first quarter when almost every
shot attempted swished clearly
through the netting Ely, on the
other hand did not possess this rart
luck as evidenced by the fact thai
only one long shot was Gagged by
the locals.
Shortly following the opening
whistle Bianchi, the visitors diminu
tive forward, found the hoop for {
field goal Ely retaliated with {
free throw. Mountain Iron Their
opened with a barage of accurate
shots while Ely was only able tc
find the basket twice. The visitors

six visitors touring Minnesota each
cay of the 1924 season.
Traffic on Minnesota highways
for the 1924 summer was 26 per-
cent greater than in 1929" Mr..
Hotaling said, land much of this
gain was due to increased travel
from other states.
At the Pigeon river bridge, at
the Canadian boundary near Lake
Superior, the traffic increased from
4,700 cars in 1928 to 5000 cars in
1924.
Minnesota had many visitors

City Has Little Opposition,
Big things are due from the city
team this season as result of the
easy manner in which they disposed
of the local college outfit. Although
their passing was yet crude and
their shooting eyes unsteady, these
are common to all teams in the pre-
liminary season and will be elimin-
ated in time.
Simonson, last year with the Ford
Motors team gave a pleasing ac-
count of himself. During the time
he played he managed to negotiate
for four field goals. Lindbeck, last
seasons high scorer, also made
four baskets and in addition made
three points through free throws,
These two alone with Dinsmore at
center should prove to be a strong
ST oring combination. Kowalke, who
played forward last year, has been
shifted to guard and plays as if he
feels at home in that position. His
shooting ability will add to the
offensive strength of the team. A
good-shooting guard is an asset to
any quint. Somrock played his
usual reliable game. Many substi-
tutes were given opportunity to
show their stuff among them being

David Sarnofs, After Survey In
Europe, Still Believes In
Long Wave-Length

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Just re.
turned from Europe where he re-
manned seven weeks visiting the
leading radio engineers and scien.
fists in governmental and private
radio circles abroad, David Sarnoff,
vice president and general manager
of the Radio Corporation Of Ameri-
ca, is still a champion Of long
wave-length for trans-oceanic radio
communication after making q
thorough analysis of the develop.
ments which have gone forward in
short waves in Europe, under gov.
ernmental and private supervision
and initiative.
IT have seen nothing, as yet, in
this new field Of short waves either
in Europe or at home" said. Mr..
Sarnoff, which justifies the claim
that the present high-power long
wave stations employed for COM
mercial transoceanic communica.
ton will be supplemented by the
lower power stations. Reliable radio
transmission over long distance
during the daylight and business
hours, must still be conducted
with high.power and long waves,
such, for example, as we are now
using at Radio Central. on Long
Island, N. Y. The possibilities Of
radio development in all branches
of the art. however. are too great
and promising to permit any mega
tive views that it's advance will

casters in the idea of increasing the
power of their sending stations, so
that the programs of London, Paris
and Berlin might be easily heard by
the American listening public. AT
the same time l suggested the pos
sibility of American stations sending
over their programs, which could
be regularly heard abroad. Much
, interest was shown in these pro.
posals, and believe that an era If
transoceanic broadcasting is near
at hand. Realization of such plan
would greatly enhance the value Of
broadcasting to the public on this
side as well as on the other side of
the Atlantic ocean, and help to
bring the old and the new world
little closer together"

BROTHERS DIED IN EFFORT
TO RESCUE VICTIM OF WIRE

WASHINGTON, Pa, Sept. ST.
A coroner's jury investigating the
electrocution OF three men by a
high tension wire of the West Penn
Power Company, found that their
deaths were accidental, but re-
quested that the names of Antonio
and Joseph Sisul, two of the victims
be recommended to the Carnegie
Hero Commission for consideration.
The Sisul brothers sacrificed their
lives in an effort to reach the body
of Frank Buchanan, who had en-
countered the wire, which had been
knocked down by lightning, while
cropping his way home through a
binding storm. The brothers, who
lived near the scene of the acct,
dent, went to the aid of Buchanan
and were killed. Buchanan was
sixty-four years old, Antonio Sisul,
thirty-eight, and Joseph Sisul,
thirty.

N the course of its forty-five years
4 existence as a politically indepen-
dent state, Bulgaria has experienced
not few reactionary regimes, but
when compared with the present reac-
ton which is raging, all these reac-
tionary regimes of the past seem the
merest child's play.
The working class and the peasant
masses are robbed of all rights and
rendered the prey of the bankers and
spectators. All workers parties are
dissolved. Their press is annihilated.
Their best representatives are killed,
flung into prison, or driven into exile.
In the background of this political
reaction, the gangs of bankers and
spectators are busily engaged in putt
lessly exploiting the. working masses
of the country.
Up to the coup d'etat the dollar
cost go leva; it's present price is 140
leva. Thus the Bulgarian currency
has suffered a depreciation of over 40
per cent.
Whilst the state budget for 1929
amounted altogether to five milliard
leva, the budget of the Zankov govern
ment for 1924 amounted to 62 mil
Hard leva and that for 1924-25 to Z
milliard leva. The outgoings for one
year for the army, the police and
prisons amounted alone to one and a
half milliards. Before the coup d'etat
the expenditure for the police
amounted to 1,476,777 leya annually;
it now amounts to to 15,388,520 leva.
The indirect taxes have been in
creased by 2 to 3 milliard leva. The
tobacco tax has been increased by
365 million leva. The land taxes,
which fall upon the peasants, have
also been increased by $40 million
leva while the tax upon limited labolity
companies has only yielded million

the following estimation of the pres
ent position in the country:
"The results Of the provincial and
municipal elections prove only one
thing, that no security and peace
prevails in our country, because,
effectively considered, the influence
Of the destructive elements is not
only not weakened, but has become
stronger. We are now experience
ing, in Bulgaria a war, because the
fronts are set up for fresh bloody
struggles. The destructive elements,
which are welded together in the
united front, have already gone over
to the offensive And if in
spite Of everything Exceptional
laws against the Communists and
the peasant population) we see their
magnificent successes in the cleo
lions, it means that their strength
and their influences Is by no means
broken. At the present time our
country is experiencing, not a strug-
gle between political groupings, but
a fight for victory between sharply
distinguished tendencies, for the
victory Of different methods of state
administration The tenden-
cies which appear as the represen-
tatives Of bolshevik ideas, have ac-
tually realized the united front.
Actuated by similar motives to
seize power, they have sunk their
minor differences of opinion and are
proceeding determinedly to one
end-the humiliation of the ruling
powers -"
The bourgeois paper has, in a sud-
den fit of candor, let out the truth.
The facts are as stated. In Bulgaria
the fight is proceeding over different
methods of state administration: "
Dictatorship of the bourgeoisie by the
fascist government, or dictatorship of
the proletariat by the workers and
peasants.
The fronts are sharply drawn. The
forces are being modified, the decis-
i've struggle is no longer distant.
The days of the fascist reaction in
Bulgaria are numbered.

BIZ ARTHUR ROSENBERG.

On the 22nd June last the represen-
tatives of the Communist parliament
tary fractions of Germany and France
met together in Cologne, in order to
initiate common action against the
Experts Report. On the 10th June,
400 delegates from all parts of Ger
many assembled in Eisenach, in order
to issue the protest of the whole
working class against the policy of
the German government. The Cologne
conference was allowed to proceed
without interference. At Eisenach
the delegates to the conference were
arrested by Herr Ebert's police. 1t
is true that all those arrested were
liberated on the same evening, as
there are limits even to the absurdity
Of the actions of the German republi-
can government. On the 18th of July
there commenced in London the Con-
ference of the Allies, which will once
again decide" upon the fate of Ger
many. The dictates of the entente are
this time to be rendered more palat-
able by the presence of a few Stats
ticans Of the German government.
The official German state apparatus
is working feverishly in order to him
der the struggle Of the G. P. of Ger
many against the Experts Report.
For this purpose the most ridiculous
means are adopted. The chief maneu-
yer consists of the prosecution of the
central Of the C. P. of Germany, the
so-called Tchekatrial, with its 80 vol
umes Of evidence in the hands Of that
specialist against the Communists,
the Berlin Judge. Director Voigt, and
with allegations as 70 the use of cho-
lera germs and other bogeys with
which to terrify the public. The trial
is intended to discredit the Commun-
list Party in the eyes of the great
mass Of the population, and in addi-
ton to provide the pretext for impris-
oning as many as possible of the
leading functionaries Of the party and
TO abolish the immunity Of the Com
munist members of Parliament. The

In the sphere of foreign politics the
Zankov government is driving. the
country into conflicts, with Yugo-
Slavia on account of Macedonia, with
Greece on account Of Thrace, with the
Soviet Union on account of the Wran-
gel troops, whom it welcomes with
open arms. In order under these cir
cumstances to retain the support of
France, England and Italy, it is pre-
pared to concede to them valuable re-
sources of the country, as for example
the state-owned "Pernik" stone
quarry.
But the hate Of the working masses
of the people against the bankers and
spectators found expression during
the recent elections for the provincial
and municipal councils, which were
carried out under a fearful reign of
terror. In all the important parts of
the country, especially in the towns,
the elections resulted in the repulse
of the offensive of the ZankoV govern
ment.
At the municipal elections in the
towns the government received $4,000
votes as against 9O,579 polled by the
opposition, and many thousands of
votes were cast for the Communists,
but which were declared to be invalid
The Zankoy government feels that
it is losing foothold before the sweep
of the rising wave of indignation of
the people and of the growing move
ment of the working masses. 1t is
therefore carrying on a still more fur
ious and reactionary policy and has
recourse to a series of political muir
ders of popular leaders, among them
recently being the leader Of the peas
ants union, the member of parliament
Petkov.

sowing in the year 1928 was IL million

hectars in 1922.
Prices have increased from June,
1924, by 80 to so per cent. The price
of bread has increased from to Z

The wages of the workers have fall

are enormous. For example, the
