So the costly Hale goes to the

" Browns will show improve
ment depends almost wholly
upon their pitching staff. Urban
Shockers place will be filled by
Joe Bush, who will also be valu-
able as pinch hitter in place of
Pat Collins, who has been sent
to the minors.
George Sisler got three pitchers
for Shocker, Bush, CASTOR and
Giard, the latter farm hand Of
the Yankees in the American As
ISOLATION where he proved Of real
worth. If this trio make good, the
Browns may look much better on
the hill than they did last season.
Sisler, handicapped by poor
vision. hit for more than 300 in
1924 and played cleverly in the
field. He NAV be a BIT better
this coming season, but will hardly
be the Sisler of old. The rest of
the infield and the entire outfield
will be the same as last year.
Therefore, for the Browns to
forge ahead they must have i'm

to be seen in actual play. It can
hardly be doped out now.
Indians a Mystery.
TR1S SPEAKERS Cleveland
Indians are, at this writing,
a mystery. Last spring they
looked the class Of the league in
their exhibition games in Florida.
Sickness and injuries, especially
among their pitchers, flattened
their start, however, and they
never succeeded in overcoming
that horrible beginning. If
Speaker has better luck this year
well, who can tell what'll hap
pen?
The Indians apparently need in
creased speed ON the bases and
steadier pitching than they re-
ceived last year. Their hitting
and fielding was up to the mark.
but as a team, the Indians never
seemed to be going anywhere.
The continued sickness Of "Jim-
Joe" Edwards was a heavy drag
on the hurting corps. 1t caused
some of the others to be over
worked, causing their ultimate
breakdown. This was especially
true of Stanley Coveleskie, now
a member of the world champion
Griffmen.
Speaker has collected a large
number Of minor leaguers for
trial at Lakeland, Fla, and today
has a mystery club. 1t would
take seer to dope the lineup
that will open the season.

Child LABOR IN
UNITED STATES
STIRS Geneva
tsDeolaI to tn. Daily worker.)


GENEVA, Switzerland, April 3d.
The rejection of any limitation of
child slavery by the federal govern
ment of the United States is so scan
dalous that even the sleepy reform
lists of the ridiculous appendage to
the league Of nations which is known
as the international labor office, is
astir with chatter about child labor
in the United States.
Why Not an International strike?
Jan Oudegeest, president of the
Dutch Labor Federation and Leon Jou-
haux of France, president of the Gen.
eral Federation of Labor, urged publ
cation by the bureau Of all possible in
formation on conditions in America.
He expressed the belief that world
public opinion thus could be brought
to bear on the Americans and culmi-
nate in an Improvement.
No Right to Interfere, Says Traitor
Thomas.
Albert Thomas OF France. who is
director Of the international labor or
ganization, answering laborite dele
gates, explained that the governing
board had no right to interfere in
what the United States government
or state governments were doing on
the child labor question. He said it
was the bureaus duty only to pub
lish all statistical information.
The discussion Of conditions in the
United States was the sequence to the
recent rejection by the Americans Of
an amendment to the constitution
authorizing federal laws on the sub.
ject Of child lbaor.

lowing violent opposition in the cham
Der of deputies to Mussolini's army
bill. Mussolini was forced to request
postponement Of vote on the bill.
Another Fist Fight.
Another riot broke out in the cham
Der when Deputy Viola charged that
the government had concentrated fas-
cisti troops at the polls in the recent
election in the Caserta commune, thus
intimidating voters and throwing out
votes against the fascist candidates.
Deputy Farinacci, secretary of the
fascist party, who is in favor of ex-
treme violence against the opposition,
took occasion to again attack the
Communists, but he was soon quoted.

In the senate, Mussolini made a
short speech, urging Italy to increase
its navy and army against the British
and French. To-day Britain brings
her feet into the Mediterranean and
France has her naval program, which
includes the spending of five times as
much as Italy," Mussolini said. He
urged security pact" with Germany.
The proposal to reduce the standing
army was made by de Giorgio, at the
instance Of Mussolini. The proposal
was that the term OF military service
be limited to three months. This
would have made the fascist militia
the dominating force in Italy, and give
an excuse for increasing this force.
The government was about to be
defeated until Mussolinfs plea that
