The club officials today spent a
short time in their newly established

here were to be purely vocational and
that until next week no base ball
business would be transacted.

Walter Hagan and Jim Barnes, paired
against Cyril Walker and Gene Sara

the match that he hastened back to
Tampa and imm ediately arranged to
play Johnny Farrell
Harris said today it was possible
he would change the order and dates
for reporting of some of the players,
but for the present, at least, the list
would remain as it now stands
The first work to be taken care of
Is the reconstruction of the Plant

nounced. The work this year will
not only embrace the rebuilding Of
the inie1d, but also will take in the
reconstruction Of the outfield The

dangerous holes and treacherous
mounds. When work in this section
is finished and the infield packed, the
diamond will be one of the best In
the State of Florida, and will be suit

Tales of prosperity sent out by the rotund Sec
rotary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, make pleasant
reading for the SNUG and comfortable elements
who feel that they living in the best of all pos
sible worlds. But while the workers in some in
dustries kept busy creating surplus values for
the master class, there are other industries shut
down by the bosses because they cannot see their
way clear to operate them when the prospects for
profits are not sufficiently alluring.
The miners in southern Illinois report extremely
bad conditions in some mining sections. Several
mines have been shut down for over one year and
the coal diggers reduced to desperate straits,
there being no other industry except coal mining
in those parts of the state.
Last Sunday a conference of miners was held in
Belleville to consider unemployment There were
delegates present from eighteen locals Delegates
from local reported that their officers tried to
enforce the clause in the district contract providing
for the sharing of work between the miners unem-
ployed and those working. The bosses attempted
to take advantage of this situation to interpret
the clause to their advantage The miners refused
to sign "yellow dog" contract submitted by the
bosses and Harrington usual took the side of the
coal operators when the local appealed to him for
aid
The Belleville conference decided to organize the
unemployed in the entire subdistrict and to link
its efforts with those of other conferences organ

officials of District IL of the U. NV. of A. are

THE whole country knew that Lenin
| was MORALLY i'll. 1t knew that he
was away from his desk, from con
tact with the active workers of the
Soviet government and of the Russian
Communist Party. It knew that his
hand no longer guided the Communist
International. But there was hope
he might recover and return to the
work from which he had ben so rudely
torn away.
But the fell blow came-and Lenin
was stricken low. The friend and
comrade of the peasants, the man
whom they loved tho they had never
seen him-the man who exemplified
everything that the revolution had
brot forth and meant-was gone. Chill

Senator Edwards may or may not have accepted

The fact is, that under capitalism "getting the

AbramoUich, Here's Your Hat!

Raphael Abramovch, Russian czarist sociais
and ounterrevolutionist, arrived in the Unite
States recently, probably to fill the vacancy created
in the forces fighting Soviet recognition, by the
death of Samuel Gompers. Abramovich is only one
of liberal supply of Russian parasites who have
recently been competing with bootleg liquor in
getting on the inside of the statute of liberty.
This fellow Abramovich is one of the criminals
responsible for the recent uprising in the Soviet
Republic of Georgia 1t took the Red Army oniy
few hours to crush it because it was the work of
collection of bandits paid by the French and
British governments thru this dog AbramOvich and
others from the yellow socialist kennel. Abramo-
vich and his co-cOnspirators against the workers
and peasants government wanted to turn over
the vast oil of Georgia to the French and
British imperiaists.
His coming to the United States comedies with
renewal of the agitation for the recognition of
Soviet Russia. No doubt the capitalist and yellow
socialist press will publish his yomit in generous
portions. He is welcome to the space
1t does not appear, however, that the workers
are so very pleased with Abramovch's presence, if
we are to judge from the reception given to him at
meeting called by the socialist party in his honor
in the Star Casino, New York No sooner had
bureaucrat of the WOrkmens Circle indicated that
he Vas going to introduce Abramovich than the
audience cheered for Soviet Russia. BY the time
Abramovich got thru, he wished he was back in
his favorite haunts in Paris. Four hundred police
and goodly number of sluggers failed to preserve
"order" and Abramovich left by a side door Where
can a poor white guard yellow socialist 90 nova

In the Villages When Lenin Died

They elected their village Soviets;
they sent their delegates to the higher
Soviets and finally to the All-Russian
Soviet Congress, the supreme body OF
the Soviet State. And. Lenin often
addressed the congress, telling in
simple words which each delegate
could understand the facts of the stu.
alton within the state, the needs o

ants and the position of the workers.
Telling them, above all, the facts o.
the international situation, SO that
for the first time, the peasants real.
lied that they were part of a great
world.
And the delegates reported back &c
the peasants in the village; told then
how the Soviet government was max.
ing the greatest endeavor to tighten
the burden Of the peasants; how IL
was trying to provide them with all
the accessories of modern cultivation
how 1t had plans under way to cleo
trify the whole country, to introduc,
uniform taxes, etc.
These were the cold, hard facts
that the peasants relish--the peasant
being q practical man, unused to and
uninterested in theory. And these
facts were working out well-and tn
peasants were able to calculate 1t in
improved conditions, in q raised stand
