paid for him.
Someone is responsible for a dras-
tic change in his delivery and I might
add 1T is all for the better.
Grove is pitching overland entire
ly this year Last year he shifted to
suit has fancy between the sidearm
and overland styles His greatest
trouble was controlling his sidearm
ball.
In all the games I have seen Grove
work this year he has used nothing
but the overland style and as q re-
suit, his control has improved at
least SO per cent.
Another change in Groves style
from that of last year is a near-s stop
as he reaches the top of his. swing,
instead of a quick follow through as
formerly used.
This also appears to have greatly
helped his control. That is all he
needed, for he has always had plenty
of stuff.
Grove should win lot. Of ball

His education was received in
GAINESVILLE and Gambler, Ohio,
where he attended Kenyon Col

After HIS debut on the stage in
1887, Mr.. Harlan was taken under
the wing Of Charles II. Hoyt, who
later starred him in many musi-
cal productions. When Col. Selig
started picture production in
Chicago, and chose the Hoyt farcea

British Governor of
Hongkong in Speech
Attacking Cantonese

CANTON, Aug. 27.-(By Mail.)-A
few days ago a new building of cloth
merchant was opened in Honkong.
The British governor spoke at the
opening and referred to the useless
ness Of the attempts made by body
Of organized bandits and pirates
wrongly called the Canton committee,
to damage the colony"
The governor then commenced to
criticize the Canton government:
1.-THE Canton government itself has
not yet grasped that its first duty as
government is to maintain law and
order, for it is in agreement with the
organization of robbers and pirates
even in its own capital"
These remarks have caused the
greatest indignation amongst the toll
ing population of the Kwang provinces
(Kwang-Tung and Kwang-Tsi). No
merous meetings have taken place as
a protest against this act of provoca-
ton. A great demonstration has been
arranged to take place this week to
support the strike and boycott move
ment of the Chinese population of the
Kwang provinces.

The seym Committee

The Seym Committee Reports.
D BOARDING the treatment of the
~ prisoners during the police inves-
legations, the committee heard numer-
GUS complaints on brutal treatment
and maltreatment, and in some cases
the prisoners showed signs OF mall
treatment. The great number Of COM
plants and the equality of the de-
tails which were stated by the vari-
GUS prisoners, as well as the circum-
stance that the government did not
deny cases of maltreatment of prison
ers recently and in districts where
the committee undertook no investi-
cations, all these facts lead to the
supposition that the treatment Of the
prisoners by the political police dur
ing the preliminary investigation
leaves much to be desired and that the
complaints of the prisoners are very
probably justified. :"
The Role Of the Socialist Party.
THE socialist party of Poland is
4 playing a most shameful role in all
these questions. Hated by the ma
jority of the class conscious workers,
this party tries to maintain its power
in the labor movement by the annihi-
lation of the Communist Party. 1t
works hand in hand with the political
police in the struggle against the rev.
dictionary labor movement. Workers
suspected of Communism, are de-
nounced by the people of the P. p. S.;
from the ranks Of the P. P. S. come
the most capable agents provocateurs
CTchubala, Trojanovski and othets) Of
the political police. This role was
played by the P. P. s. already in the
first period Of Polish independence,
when the government was in its own
hands =. Also in the following
years the P. P. S. as oppositional party
was one of the most active co-operat,
ors of the political police.
With regard TO the well-known triaf
Of Trojanovsh, the leader Of the Do
litical police made the following state
ment:
what I do as a profession, Mr..
Prayer "a leading personality Of the
P. P. S. and member Of parliament)
does as an amateur"
When the P. P. S. entered the coal
ition government in December, 1925,
1t found itself compelled to raise the
demand for political amnesty. This
demand was only the result OF pres
sure from the working masses and az
forwards, as government party, the
P. P. S. did nothing to carry 1t out.
On the contrary, at the time when the

Unemployed Mass Movement.
ON this ground the mass movement
" Of the unemployed develops. The
wave of demonstrations move from
one town to the other. The campaigns
Of the unemployed do not only take
place In larger Industrial centers such
as Lod, Dombrowa, Upper Silesia, etc.,
but also in less significant towns such
as Vlozlavek, Kalish, Lublin and 9TH
ers. The worst popularity of unem-
ployment in Poland consists in the
fact that the unemployed find no
where a place where they could use
their labor power The immense army
of the starving people finds refuge
neither in the villages, which are over
crowded with unemployed, nor abroad
where one needs no emigrants at pres
emit.
The coalition government of the cap
italists, agrarians and social democrats
applies the severest measures against
the workers demonstrations. (Only af-
ter the bloody events the social demo
Gratis left the goyernment). They Of
fer them lead instead of bread. They
receive them with rife shots. They
mobilize bayonets, swords and even
poison gas against them. Dozens Of
dead and hundreds of wounded pris-
oners are the bloody harvest Of the
police.
In Styra eastern Galicia) in the
end Of March, 10 dead, 80 wounded;
in Kalish, dead, 60 wounded. Also
in Vlozlavek, LODI, Warsaw, SAVER
zie and other places the blood Of the
unemployed was shed in the streets.
THE events during the last May Day
Il celebrations characterize best the
attitude of the Polish social demo
Gratis. Guarded by a strong police
troop and by the armed lighting
groups" the social democrats were al
lowed to hold their meetings in peace
and even the prime minister, Count
Skizinski, attended it. In the mean
time, however, Communist demonstra-
tions were attacked with gas bombs
by the police and when this had no
effect against the strong number OF
the Communists, the fighting groups
of the social democrats were mobiliz-
ed. On lorries they drove in the Com
munist demonstrations and fired from
their revolvers into the peacefully
demonstrating masses. Seventeen
dead and over 90 seriously injured
workers and an immense number Of
slightly injured were the result Of this
frlghtful murder.

MONROE DOCTRINE
FLY IN OINTMENT
OF WORLD COURT
Commission Seeks Way
to Beat Reservation
Especial to The Daily worksrl

GENEVA, Sept. Is. - The commits
sion named two weeks ago to study
the American reservations to its ap-
plication to the world court has named
smaller drafting committee to frame
a reply which will give a brief affirma-
tive answer to the application, while
making a counter reservation on
American reservation 8, which coun-
ter reservation it is hoped will be &C
ceptable to the United States, and
avoid sending the whole matter back
to the United States senate.
May NuIIlfy Reservation 8.
The American reservation is the
crucial one. 1t bars the council Of
the league of nations from asking the
world court for an advisory opinion
on any issue "in which the United
States has, or claims, an interest"
This, it is claimed, would give the
United States, not member Of the
league, veto power against a ma
jority in the league council,
1t is hoped to avoid this by conn
ter reservation that America will not
claim more rights than any other ma
ton. But this nullifes the whole bust
ness.
Monroe Doctrine the Trouble.
The particular ticklish angle is seen
in the application of this reservation
to South America. If Chile and Peru,
for example, should ask the league Of
nations to settle the Tacna-Arica dis
pute, the league council would have to
ask the world court if It had the right
to act. Under the American reserva-
ton the United States could declare
that the council could not act, because
the United States has an interest in
South America thru the Monroe doc
trine.

ence was to help the British miners.
The police interfered, dissolving the
conference Those present protested
and sung the Internationale as they
went to their homes, promising that
they would not abandon the fight.
All leaflets and papers dealing with
the British strike and calling on Polish
workers to prevent shipments Of coal
are conf1scated.
The Future.
The strike In England will not last
forever. What then? The bourgeoisie
will lose the source of their profits.
The workers will again be thrown on
the streets. Sterilization" will end.
The Pilsudski government will again
find itself in situation worse than
before.
And the workers not only in Poland
but turnout the world will remember
that Pilsudski, and the leaders of the
unions affiliated with the Amsterdam
international, and the Polish socialist
party, were the biggest scabs In the
heroic strike Of the British miners.

The commission now sitting at Ber-

protests from Germany against the
U. s. Treasury's ruling that German
iron and steel imports must pay addi-
