Quick Aid M, ! I: g. :; :. to
Save the Daily Worker!
TO ALL MEMBERS AND BRANCHES
OF THE WORKERS PARTY.

Dear Comrades: Our party and its sympathzers raised
$4,000 during the month of September TO SAVE THE
DAILY WORKER With this help succeeded in carrying
the DAILY WORKER thru the dangerous situation In which
it found itself at the beginning of the month.
This help which the DAILY WORKER received how
ever only delayed THE REAL CRISIS. This crisis the
DAILY WORKER is facing right Unless the party
members party branches and sympathizers to the
of the DAILY WORKER by raising $4,000 during
October the DAILY WORKER faces the danger of suspen
sion before the end of the month.
The DAILY WORKER has been fighting off this crisis
for time. It endeavored hold off making appeal
to the party until thorogong campaign could be organized
done last year. The consequence has been that the
accumulated financial difficulties have created crisis
which threatens the life of the paper

mendations from the conVen-
tons committee on internation-
al labor relations.
This committee has been mere de-
coration in the past, consisting of
fraternal delegates that have gone to
the British Trade Union Congress.
The spirit that animates the commit
tee is shown by the reply to an in
luiry as to when the committee would
meet "Oh, we'll get together in a
week or so"
Hayes to Support Purcell
Delegate Max Hayes, of the Typo
graphical Union, declares he in favor
OF both the Purcell recommendations
and may lead the fight for them in
the committee Hayes says he will
vote and probably speak for the re-
cognition of Soviet Russia resolution.
The accepted fact that the interna-
tional labor relations committee is
not supposed to function is shown by
the referring of the trade union unity
resolution to the resolutions commit
te instead of the former to which it
should have gone. The Soviet recogn-
ition resolution has gone to the same
committee.
The first progressive resolution to
come before the convention was that
on the organization of the morgan
lied, it was ordered referred to the
executive council which is considered
a burial ground for convention resolu-
tons.
Protests scab Hotel
The delegation of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees International
Union is up in arms against the hous-
ing Of headquarters and delegates to
AInetiean Federation Of Labor con-
vention here in hotel that "by no
stretch of the imagination could be
regarded as favorable to the organ
lied wage workers of the scatering
industry"
The convention headquarters is at
the Strand Hotel that is claimed to
be non-union from cellar to garnet.
The restaurant workers delegation
claims that it has frowned on efforts
of local union to make life miserable
for A. F. of L. delegates at past con-
ventions by insisting on union condi-
tons. But even the patience Of the
oficialdom on this union has been
stretched to the swapping point and
their complaints are now before the
convention here.
Seamen Oppose World Court
The delegation of the Seamen's
Union has a resolution in against af-
fliation of United States with the
world court. By some peculiar twist
of reasoning this resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on interna-
tional labor relations. Other resolu-
tons declare for the withdrawal from
all nations of extra-territorial privi-
leges in China, pledging assistance to
bakery workers in contest with a

Sessions Open
(speolaI to vac DaiIy w0rkerl

SHANGHAI, China. October S-The
American, British and Japanese
judges, comprising the international
judicial commission to investigate the
Shanghai riots Of last May, opened
their deliberations with but a thirty
minute session yesterday in an at
mosphere reminiscent of the tense
situation preceding the outbreak they
are here to investigate.
But a small crowd of foreigners at
tended the opening session and no
Chinese were present, the entire
populace completely boycotting the
thing.eiss f
Strong armed guards formed cor
donB around the town hall where ses-
sions are held, but even the precau-
tions already taken were not con-
sideredni sufficient and after a half
hours discussion the session adjourn
ed until the authorities could mobilize
stronger forces to cope with situa-
ton that they feel is momentarily
growing in intensity and volume. The
boycott gave rise to this uneasiness.
9@ Charge British Frame-up.
That the strategy of Judge E. Fin
ley johnson, representative of Amer
lean imperialism, is producing favor
able results is unquestioned after to-
days developments. On Monday Of
THIS week twenty-five Chinese organ
izations including the unions of stu
dents, teachers, laborers' guilds, mer-
chants associations published a mani
festo which was widely distributed in
Chinese. English and other languages,
admonishing the people not to partic-
ipate in the inquiry. These organiza-
tions level their principal attacks
against England and declare that the
British are using the Americans as
pawns in the game being played here.
The claim is further made that
Downing street is trying to improve
its position in China by giving all
assaults upon the Chinese people the
color of international action.
While this is unquestionably. the
case it enables the agents of the
American banking combine, the House
of Morgan. to continue to play the
game of defenders Of the Chinese
people against imperialism aggres-
sion.

FORBES FIELD. PITTSBURGH,
Pa. Oct. 15.-The Pittsburgh Pi-
.ates Won the worlds baseball
championship today, defeating the
Washington Senator'S in tine seventh
and deciding game of the 1926
series, 8 to 7.
The game was perhaps the most
thrilling seen in a worlds series,
with rain falling steadily in the
semi darkness.
Fighting from behind after the
Senator's had scored four runs in
the first inning. the Pirates batted
Walter Johnson to all corners of the
field, overlook the Senators and
won the game in the eighth inningY,
Carson Bigbec, a pinch hitter,
supplied the two base blow that
scored the tying run and "Kiki'
CuyIer the double that won tile
game.
Vic Didn't Last
Vie Aldridge, who started for
Pittsburgh, was wild and did not
last the first inning, Morrison was
not cffec tive, and it was Raw
Kremcr who went in aud held the
Senators and was credited with the
win.
Wild scenes OF celebration such as
were enacted in Washington lass
wear, were staged on the field when
old man Oldham got the home run
champion on the world series on
strikes for the third out of tho
game.
The fans stormed on the field
and threw their hats away in tha
rain. Their greatest delight was
taken in .icering the newspaper men
back of the screen.
Going to- Washington club house
Johnson showed that he was almost
crushed and Roger Peckinpaugh, the
goat Of the series, was in tears.
Peek had earned the unenviable
record in the series of making eight
errors, one more than any player
haI lNadr betorc. HIS two errors
today were factors in helping Pitts
burgl to win.
In the seventh inning he went
back of short for an easy pop fly
from Eddie Moore and dropped the
b"U after everyone thought the out
had been made. Carey, who was the
batting of the day with three
doubles and single, then knocked
Moore in and Carey scored later
with the run that tied the score,
Peck made some amends in the
eighth when he tied the score with
Il homer into the left field stauds
but the applause had hardly died
out when he made another error by

CREDIT BODY FOR

At CHAMBER MEET
Scope of Proposed Organi-
zation Outlined By
Speakers

Formation Of an Imperial Valley
Merchants Retail Credit associa-
tion will undoubtedly be the fout-
come of the splendid meeting of
the chamber Of commerce last
night. Upwards of 100 business
men from the southern part OF the
valley heard excellent talks on re
tail credit by Ralph II. Watson,
president of the National Associa-
tion Of Retail Credit Men; John II.
Van De Water, Of the Retail Mer-
chants Credit association, Los An
geles, and A. v. Storer. of the Po-
mona Valley Merchants Credit as
sociation.
Each of the speakers emphasized
the Importance to the merchant Of
restricting credit and reviewed the
success that credit associations have
brought to communities which were
in a bad financial way from I'M
proper extension of credits.
Credit associations do not refuse
credit to those who are entitled to
it, the speakers declared, nor are
credit associations formed alto
gcther for the protection of the
merchant, though that, of course. is
their chief function. Often il hap
pens that persons who are entitled
TO credit cannot obtain it. and
where Il credit association has been
organized, the matter can he in
vcStigatcd and quite often results
in an extension of credit.

An organization for valley mer-
chants would require a central of
flee in charge of paid man, a
great deal of whose salary could be
met with 4 nominal charge for in
quries made by merchants relative
to credit standings of those who
seek to purchase from them ON time.
