Controversy Blocks
Work of Trade Union
Educational League

The Chicago Trade Union Educa-
tional League is divided over numer-
Gus controversial matters that are
shaking the league to its foundation.
This, OF course, cannot be allowed to
continue, and the local executive COM
mittee has decided to liquidate all
differences. This will be accomplished
on May 30th so that a united league
can go forward in the fight to make
the unions real organs of the class
struggle.
The controversial matters are not
on the question Of policy but rather
of a physical nature. They arose over
the announcement that one Of the
main features Of the annual T. U. e.
l.. picnic would be Workers Sports"
Workers Sport Lead
At nrst the main event OF the pic
mic was supposed to be lecture by
VIM. q. Foster on his recent expert.
ence in Russia, with VIM. f. Dunno
as chairman. Despite the fact that
Foster has just returned after an ex-
tended tour thru Soviet Russia, and
also the keen interest that all milit-
ants have in the first Workers Re-
public, this event, worth the admis-
sion price alone, has become Of sec
ondary Importance.
In fact so keen is the competition
in the sports events, that it was found
necessary to start them at 10 a. m.
This will begin with volley Ball
game between two teams from the
Young Workers League, and will be
followed by an indoor ball game be-
tween the T. U. E. L. and the Y. w. L.
Are You Ready7
For an hour the Juniors will held
the center Of the stage, in a march
and demonstration and a series Of
games. One of the features of the
Juniors sports will be an indoor ball
game between team Of children from
the west side and colored team of
children from the south side. The
losers have to buy the ice cream.
Hammer Drill Without Hammersmark
Extra events to the general run Of
picnic sports will be the Hammer Drill
by the Finnish Athletic Association
and wrestling exhibition between ].
Paivinen of Chicago, amateur welter
champion of the central states, and
P. Kohko, of Waukegan. This will be
followed by tug of war between the
building trades and the metal trades
groups.
Oh, Girlsl
Not to be out done, the girls are
on the job. Billy Ramloff made the
bold challenge that her team Of ten
husky girls can pull any other team
that cares to accept the challenge, all
over the picnic grounds. Emma Blech-
schmidt says that her gang Of hefty
bellies will have something to say be-
fore the shouting is over. Both teams
are in secret training-ice cream and
candies are barred.
