LOCAL BALL TEAM
HAS GOOD WEEK
Latest achievement Isl 10 l
Victory OUer NeUada COup
ty Team.

Following up their successes
of the previous week, The
Washington Ball Club has con
tinued to live up to its reputa
ton of being the fastest buncA
of players in this part of the
state.
Two marked victories arc
one unfortunate contest that
ended in a squabble, with the
local team leading in scores, Is
the net result.
The third straight game was
wrestled from Patmos at the
local park in one-sided con.
test last Friday, the .cole
standing 21 to 1 in favor cf
Washington. The one lone run
of the visitors was made in
their half of the ninth. Car
rigan pitched and held the F..
mos boys down to a few scac
tered hits; his control was
good. Every local player con
tributed his part to a slugging
barrage which swept the visi
tors off their feet.
At Hope Monday, with Vel
vim in the box, things were go
ing good for Washington un-
til the eight, with a score OF
6 to 5 in favor of Washington.
With Washington at the bat In
the eighth, one man down, Rob
inson on second, Patterson Oil
third and Velvin at bat, Vel
vim connected with the ball,
which the players and fans
from here agree, hit fair and
rolled, about four feet toward
the pitchers box. The. pitcher
fielded the ball and threw it -
first, cutting off Velvin, who
was motioned off the base by
the umpire, DR.. E. Y. Cloud.
Patterson. on third, beat it for
the plate as soon as the bail
was thrown to first, arriving
| safely, and a throw from first
to the plate went wild, allow
ing Robinson to score. After
these two scores were run in,
Umpire Cloud announced that
the ball Velvin had knocked
was--a foul. A request
fQr a new umpire not beinp
needed, the Washington team
beat 1t Tor nome.
Cne of the best exhibitions
in which the locals have had
a hand was staged at Willis
vile, Nevada county, Wednes-
day, in which they were vic
torious over Willisville by q
score of 7 to 1. The>locals shut
out the Nevada county lads un-
til the ninth, when their lone
score was made on an error.
Mitchell pitched the game for
Washington. A return engage
ment is promised soon.

Red Army Chief Tells
S ol ldier Students of
Russia's World Aims

MOSCOW, (Rosta)-(By Mail. i'm
his first public speech since his appoint
ment as peoples commissary of war
and navy, Michael Frunze dwelt on
the international position Of the Union
Of Soviet Republics. The speech was
delivered to an audience of over five
thousand students from various mil
itary schools gathered in the Moscow
Big Theater.
The very fact of the existance of
a Soviet state, he said, naturally gives
rise to various contradictions in it's
relations with the surrounding world
The Soviet government policy was
simple however. It was a desire to
prevent the aggravation of such po-
tential conflicts.
What is most valuable to u.s." he
stated 'is that our citizens should
be able to labor in peace" He then
quoted various foreign correspond
ents" who have been spreading ru-
mors of vast war preparations being
carried on the Union Of Soviet So
cialist Republics. Europe knows per-
fectly well that Russia is absorbed in
the task Of economic construction and
must realize these stories are being
sent out to mislead the European
public.
He referred to the Russo-Jap treaty
as an event of paramount Importance
in world politics. He expressed the
hope that mutual relations would soon
be established with France whose in
terests do not conflict with those Of
Russia in any part of the world.
In concluding he said, "The Red
Army will continue to improve in
quality, not for purposes of imperial
ism but for purposes of self defense.
1t will keep in mind that powerful
Red Army is a guarantee of peace
full recovery for the Soviet republics" +"

resolution was erroneous. After the
speeches Of Oudegeest and Stenhuis
after the attack Of the Vorwarts, af-
ter the declaration of the leaders Of
the German Trade Union Federation,
the British clearly perceived that
they could not follow the way OF the
Amsterdam resolution.

"Sassenbach, a short time ago,
spoke sharply against the Soviet
trade unions, against the Red T. q.
International, against the British
trade unions, against Purcell and
Cook. The leaders Of the German
Federation Of Trade Unions and the
social Barmats stand in the front
rank of the adversaries of unity.
"They are for the unity with the
capitalist governments, with the
league Of nations, with big business
and trusts, for the unity with the Bar
mat, with Barmat's money bag. They
are against unity with the pLoletariat.
with the Soviet trade unions, with
Purcell and Cook, with the left wins
Of the trade unions. They are against
labor and for capital, against Tomnky
and for Barmat.
"The decisions of the British gen,

the social Barmats. They will CON
tinue their attacks, but will not stop
the march of events. The working
class will gather force and achieve
unity, despite the hostile work Of the

Coolidge Attorney
General Is Servant
of Textile Trust

WASHINGTON March 20-Humili-
ated and crushed by his defeat, twice
within week, on the nomination Of
his friend, Charles Beecher Warren
Of the sugar trust to be attorney gen.
eral, President Coolidge acknowledged
the constitutional right of the senate
to take half of the responsibility in
creating cabinet officers. And in its
turn the senate took pity on Coolidge
and agreed that his second choice, a
lifelong friend and political adherent,
John g. Sargent of Vermont, be con.
firmed.
Sargent is an old man, a grand
father, whose opposition to the soldier
bonus bill was so sharp that he pro-
posed to impeach or otherwise re-
move Sen. Dale, who voted for it.
Once he was attorney general of Yer
mont, but most of his life has been
spent in serving the textile, quarry
and other industrial corporations Of
Vermont, and in looking after rich
mems estates. He is just the mental
size Of Coolidge and will fit the attor-
ney generalship just as badly as Cool
idge fits the presidency.
Coolidge is sadly shrunken. He
looks smaller than ever, more petty
and out Of place than ever. Beaten
on the bonus, driven to surrender on
postal wages, twice beaten on his Sc
lection Of an attorney general, he has
had nothing but rebuffs from his first
congress and his second senate.

Labor Defense Council
to Fight Deportation

NEW YORK, March 20.-The three
young Communists, Sol Zalon, Henry
Winogradoff and Aaron Dimen, have
been released from the tombs, where
they were confined since last Friday
night, when they were caught by
Captain Gegan and his bomb squad,
"conspiring to overthrow the United
States government"
The young revolutionists were re-
leased on $4,000 bond each, the Judge
being forced to recognize that the
charge Of having firearms in their
possession" was absurd, when the
weapons were produced in court.
These old rifles could not even be
used to discharge blank cartridges, let
alone destroy the government"
Celebrate Commune In Cells
The three young comrades went
thru the usual procedure, at times
being intimidated by the detectives.
In the cell, they celebrated the Paris
Commune themselves, writing all over
the wall Long Live the Commune"
When Joseph Brodsky, the attorney
for the Labor Defense Council, ap-
peared in court to have the bail re-
duced, the judge declared that such
people ought to be sent out Of the
country "If they don't like this coun-
try, etc., etc"
Face Deportation
It is clear that the government will
try to deport the three young Com
munists. Quite contrary to what the
warden thought that they are moi
done with the Communist movement,
the young comrades declared that
they are going to become even better
bolsheviks. This is the spirit that
pervades the Young Workers League
Of New York, of which all three COM
rades are members.
The Labor Defense Council intends
to fight the case thru all courts. The
new deportation bill or it's implica-
tons may be invoked in order to get
rid of these young revolutionists,
whose Crime consisted in participant
ing in theatrical performance Even
the capitalist press was forced to ad-
NIT the absurdity of the charges
charging Gegan with endeavoring to
burnish up his reputation and get into
the limelight once more by a comic
opera trick.
Appeal For Funds
The Labor Defense Council, New
York division, appeals to all comrades
and sympathizers, to raise funds for
the defense Of these young revolution
lists, whose case canes up on March
30. This will cost thousands Of dol
lars. Get your organizations to con
tribute. Collect among the workers in

White TERROR
Meet Wednesday, March
IS, at Opera House
Especial to the Daily worker)

NEW YORK, March 20-The capi-
talist governments Of the world are
engaging in a new offensive against
the revolutionary workers. Workers
in Bulgaria, Greece, Germany, Fun.
gary, Spain, Poland, Jugo-Slavia and
Czecho-Slovakia are being prosecuted
with increasing brutality.
During the recent railway strike in
Greece, all revolutionary workers or
ganizations were attacked by the po-
lice. In Germany, during demon
stration, six Communists were killed
and 40 wounded. When the workers
of Berlin protested against these bru.
talities, more were killed and wound
ed. In Poland, the workers are being
hunted down, and the national minori-
ties-especiaIly the Ukrainians-are
being suppressed.
In Bulgaria, the hangman Zankow
is taking advantage Of the serious eco
nomic situation to demand moro
troops of the league of nations, in or.
der to carry on a campaign Of EXTERN
ination against the revolutionary
workers and peasants. In Spain, the
fascist dictatorship Of De Rivera hai
crushed all the workers organizations
clubs, papers and co-operatives. In
italy, Mussolini is using a savag,
hand against the rising revolt of til
revolutionary workers.
mn
In Esthonia, after imposing death
and long-term sentences upon 142 Com
munists, the white guard government
made an assault on the rebelliour
workers and shot down or imprisoned
more than 1000 Of them These inn
prisoned comrades were shamefully
mistreated, being subjected to the
third degree. Some of them were
even scalped. This is a reminiscence
Of the wild west days in the United
States-and Of the ku klux khan.
In Japan the most vicious anti-work
ing class law in history has been
passed.
In Lithuania and Latvia, Commun
lists have been arrested and all their
organizations suppressed. In the
Philippines, poor peasants are being
shot down at the behest of the Ameri
can capitalists. In Porto Rico and
Cuba, the same things are taking
place. In India, Java, China, Korea
in Egypt, Turkey and Palestine, the
workers and poor peasants are being
driven into open rebellion.
New York Workers Protest.
The workers of New York mus
protest against these new tortures in
licted upon the workers and pool
peasants Of the world. They must no
let the challenge of the capitalist gov
ernments pass by unheeded.

ers' League and the international
