MahOney Completes His Betrayal

elements that demand of a labor
party that 1t function in the interest
of the productive workers and exploit
ed farmers-the Communists
Few organizations responded in any
way to the appeal of Mahoney and
Harmon to affiliated organizations Of
the federation for their approval of
the new @association," issued imme-
diately after the conference. accord
ing to information available. The
whole proceeding has discouraged
many of the rank and file, which is
doubtless responsible for the lack of
interest shown. Many organizations
disapproved of the formation Of the
association and demanded a conven-
ton of the federation to decide the
matter OF it's future. These have been
ignored with the statement that a
large majority of those reporting ap-
proved of the action of the confer
ence and OF the discontinuance of the
federation.
While the farmer-labor association
is constructed along somewhat similar
lines to the federation, its constitu-
ton contains a clause that bars Com
munists from participation in its ac-
tivities, and has opened the way for
political job seekers who completely
control the organization. The boring
from within" tactics Of the democratic
political machine is not attacked, tho
the influence of Communist elected
by and representing legitimate trade
union is not wanted.
Mahoney a Case of Economic Deter
minlsm.
While the farmer and labor senti-
ment for a labor party or farmer
labor party held out promise of bring
ing Mahoney into national prominence
he showed a willingness to consort
with Communists or anybody that
might be used to further his dream
Of becoming a big figure.
When the opposition of the La Fol
lette boom and that of the labor bu-
reaucrats began to threaten his posi-
ton as editor of the Union Advocate,
he began to plan to save his job at
all costs, even at the sacrifice of
principle. To regain the lost conf
dence of labor offcialdom, 1t was most
expedient to fail the Communists,
and at this he outdid the bureaucratic
themselves. afA
Too Shfty.
Mahoney's habitual reversal of po-
sition proved to the reactionaries his
unreliability in a pinch, and accord
ingly he was not permitted to become
chairman of the new association. y
Used as a tool by the reactionaries
to clear out the Communists, his &C.
tivity in denouncing the Missionaries
gained such momentum that he could
not again reverse himself, and in.
deed, he had the editorship of the
Union Advocate to protect. And he is
still protecting 1t. This from the cur.
rent editorial column of the Union
Advocate.
%. the Workers Party is
torn by dissention, which will re-
suit in split in the ranks, and the
Communists will continue to de-
nounce and Willy all in the labor
movement who do not subscribe to
their Vagaries. We believe the la
Dor movement, both economic and
political, will not tolerate any fur
ther dlsruptive tactics from the
Workers Party sehemers."

MahOneyS sun is rapluly SebLng.
Tolerated by the reactionaries while
he was of use to them and lacking
the confidence OF both reactionaries
and progressives, he is passing the
way Of all who equivocate. He con-
fesses in the same editorial quoted
above, that he, after reading the
Communist International decision OF
the American question, cannot deter
mine what the decision is. The cap
ton of the editorial, Workers Com
munist) Party Decides To Bore From
Within" implies that his conception
is that this policy had been abandon
ed, or that its abandonment had been
contemplated.
The Communist principle will flour
ish when its opponents and the be-
trayers of the working class will have
been forgotten.
The following letter is the swan
song of the farmer-labor federation
written by Mahoney and Harmon:
Farmer-Labor Federation Of
Minnesota.
To all organizations affiliated with
the farmer-labor federation.
Dear Sir and Brother:
On March 81, following the unity
conference Of farmer-labor forces, we
addressed a letter to all affiliated or
CARNATIONS, asking them to approve
or reject the organization formed at
the conference, the farmer-labor asso-
citation.
We have allowed sufficient length
of time to elapse to give all an oppor-
tunity to take action on this matter,
and are now in a position to advise
that large majority of the orgniza-
lions have approved the farmer
labor association. We also have the
approval Of the majority Of the state
committee of the farmer-labor feder-
alton.
On June 1, the farmer-labor asso-
citation opened its official headquar-
ters in the Labor Temple, st. Paul,
and has actively started its work,
which is practically a continuance Of
the work previously done by the far
mer-labor federation. The secretary,
Frank T. Starkey, is launching a drive
thruout the state to enroll new mem
bers and organizations and meetings
in the various counties are to be ar
ranged in the near future. The ASSOC
citation has taken over the farmer
labor advocate as its official organ,
and this work will be pushed extern
sively, as without paper, 1t is i'm
possible to keep in close touch with
the people thruout the state.
The farmer-labor association has TAX
en- over all the liabilities of the far
mer-labor federation and is, therefore
entitled to all back dues and the full
support Of everyone affiliated with the
federation. We urge that each
and everyone of you will use
your best efforts to extend the influ-
ence of the farmer-labor association
and increase its membership. so that
the work of education and organiza-
ton, for which purpose the associa-
ton is functioning. may be accom-
plished between now and the next
campaign. There is much to be done
and your moral and financial co-opera-
ton is needed
With best wishes for the success
of the farmer-labor movement, we are,
FARM ER-LA5oR FEDERATION,
VIM. Mahoney, Chairman,
Ralph L. Harmon, Secretary.

Getting the clubhead to meet
the ball properly is only half
the shot. You cannot just let
the clubhead fall on the BALL.;
you must hit through it, too.
Before starting the follow
through you must feel the club
head on the ball and you must
have in mind the front part OF
the imaginary direction line,
as shown in my central picture.
Keep going with rhythm. Don't
let 90 of the follow through.
The clubhead should point
right for the follow through. Be
sure to remember the first two
or three feet after the ball is
struck, for it is the little line
to follow to the point out in
front; then the club and hands
should be called or brought in
by throwing the clubhead COM
pletely over the left shoulder.
Sometimes it is well to lengthen
your follow through along this
line: thence the clubhead should
follow up naturally into a full
follow through.

TEAM FOR
PENN
BrookIanders Believe They
Have Good Chance to Cop
Honors in Class 3

After a lapse of several years the
Catholic University will be repre-
sented in the Penn relays with a
mile relay team. The Brooklanders
have fond hopes for their quartet,
and many win be the wages that
the team will cop in its class, which
happens to be Class B, College
Division.
The caliber of the C. u. four will
.be known May 9, when Catholic
University and George Washington
engage in a dual meet. The exact
possibilities Of the relayers will be
gauged from what they accomplish
in that meeting.
Howell, of Augusta High School,
Maine, and McNulty, from Rosary
High, Holyoke. Mass, are the two
boys who make the team look good,
according to word from the school.
They are said to be capable Of
stepping the quarter in figures
around 81. Langley and Smythe
will be the others in the running.

TURNER LOSES
To JOHNNY
GILL

Jack Turner, Washington middle
weight, was stopped by Johnny
Gill, of York, Pa, in the eighth
round of bout at Washington
Barracks under circumstances that
leave considerable to be said in
Turner's behalf.
He entered the ring substitute
for Billy Britton, WHO came ill
twelve pounds over weight. When
Gills. manager refused to permit mis-
boxer to go through with the fight,
Turner was called into action Jn-
prepared.
Turner had done ten miles Of
roadwork and eaten a hearty sup
per and hardly could be called in
shape to meet as formidable an
opponent as Gill. Yet he made d
fight Of it until the eighth, when
the referee stopped the bout after
Turner had been floored several
times.
Turner gave Gill more than ne
might have expected in the early
rounds. Gill was floored in the
second. He knocked down Turner
in the third, however. Turner
sent Gill to the canvas again in
the seventh.
Gill beat Turner all over the ring
in the eighth.
Kid Groves outpointed Lou Nc
Carthy In six rounds. Billy Mitcn-
ell and Kid Tobey fought a three
round draw; Jack Cafoni outpointed
Count Molino in a six-rounder, and

The world champion Griffmen

Griffs in reaching their goal by his
flinging against the Indians yester-
day.
Earl McNeeIy pulled a great
catch in the last inning. Pipp ham

went back fast, turned, and, leaping
into the air, brought it down with
his glove paw. He was given q
wildly applausive reward.
Hank Shanks will never lose his
popularity with Washington fans:
He was loudly greeted as he came
to bat in the fourth frame, replacing
the injured Ward. His reply was to
jam a hot shot through Bluege, but
the fans were not sorry. They were
glad Hank got his bingle.

THE FOLLOW THROUGH.
Copyright. John Ollie Co.

The right hand should 60 un-
der for three feet. Avoid bring
ing the hands up too abruptly.
Study the position of hands and
left knee in the right picture.
It shows these points well. Let
them go out just far enough
forward before putting them in
towards you to allow for the
gathering of the stroke on the
up stroke.
The action of the left knee
is very important. You must
come up on the follow through
with the left knee braced back.
This helps you to make the
ciubhead go through the ball.
Send the hands up with the
shot at the finish. Try to make
a good, complete finish even if
there is bad start. The
proper finish finds the arms
doubled up, in front. Aim to-
wards higher follow through.
Nearly everyone stops his fol-
low through too soon. Try to
get a sense of zip at contact.
Get a little more click to the
shot.

But since then the Griffmen have
added two games to their side OF
the account in the feud with the
famous spitballer. He was sent to
the relief Of Waite Hoyt in the
ninth inning Of the third game Of
the New York series ami what the
Griffmen did to Shocker's shoots
on that occasion is well known and
to this section Of the land, pleasant
history.
Sam Rice doubled over two runs,
Goose GOsIin knocked q homo run
and Judge hit homer in sue
cessiOn. The worm did a tfitIe
more than turn. 1t assumed the
proportions Of raEtTer and killed
off the redoubtable enemy with q
venOmOuS stroke moro poisonous
than the occasion called for.
Miller Huggins counted upon
upon 'Shocker to give the Inundated
Yankees a flying start in the re-
turn series here. He had had only
one days rest when the Griffmen
beat him in that one-inning crusher.
He was supposed to be right when
he toed the rubber here.
He may or may not have been
ready but the big fact remains that
the Griffmen had no fear of him
when Shocker faced them before q
great horde Of Washington rcoters
that, to say little, was not overly
optimistic Of victory.
The Griffmen went after their
formerly dreaded jinx as they would
tackle any other pitcher, firmly
confident. For the second time IN
a brief period they polished him of.
It leads one to wonder IL ShocKeI
has lost the Griffmen's number
1t is hoped so.
