MILITANTS WAR
ON REACTION IN
WATERS LOCAL
Real Progressives Are
Gaining Leadership

NEW YORK, Feb. is. - In the re-
cent elections for officers in Walters
Union Local No. the members show
ed an unusual radical change in their
voting. Ever since the organization
has been in existence, it has always
been custom of its leaders to put
out a slate of candidates, for no other
reason than that they were suitable
to the leaders, upon which the leaders
would be able to depend to raise and
get others to raise their hands when
ever it was necessary for the machine
to pull something thru over the
wishes Of the members.
In this they have been successful
for over 20 years. Then some few
fluent speaking, so-called progressive
gentlemen appeared on the scene and
put up fight against the old reaction
airy machine, and when few of them
had been elected to Office, they
shirked their duties and said, 'let
the members suffer If they don't know
Ia good thing when they see it." All
year round they did nothing, only
agitating that until their entire slate
is elected, the few officials were not
in position to remedy any Of the
evils.
Organize Rank and File COMMITTEES
But these poor excuses were so ap
parently contemplate lies, that a few
progressive members with Brother
William Lipschitz at the head, organ
lied rank and file committee anc
thru circulars gave them the lie L
their face.
Soon another election neared ant
they began fearing that it might hur
their opportunities for election Of
full slate, so they began pleading wit
the rank and file committee that sine
they broke the reactionary machin
they still deserve the vote Of tn
membership even tho they have ac
mitted that they are not much better
With their fluent and sentiments
talks, they succeeded in making tn
rank and file committee say in on
of their leaflets that these pretende
progressives are a lesser evil, an
their whole clique was elected to
fee.
When elected, instead of killing
action and taking some progressiy
measures to cure the evils, they begs
using the same old methods that the
claimed at one time they were fgt
ing and all year round nothing wi
done for the members. They soug

EAST CHICAGO
LABOR PROTESTS
SIMONS' ARREST
|. L. D. Holds Successful
Mass Meeting

EAST CHICAGO, Ind, Feb. 16-The
protest meeting against the arrest of
William Simons, secretary of the
Chicago Workers School, and the
breaking up of the Lenin memorial
meeting was better attended than the
Lenin memorial meeting itself.
Simons, who was arrested for speak
ing at the Lenin meeting and who is
charged with attempting to "over-
throw the government" spoke to the
workers in the hall showing that the
charge against him was groundless
and that it was nothing more than a
frame-up. II. w. Garner, promin-
ent member of the Machinists Union
acted as chairman of the meeting for
the International Labor Defense.
Young Pioneer Speaks.
Jack Cohen, a member Of the
Young Pioneers then spoke explain
ing that the statements of the teach
ers that this is a free country and a
democracy and that equal rights exist
for all is given the lie when working
class speakers are arrested for urging
workers to organize to fight for better
conditions.
G. A. Hathaway, a former business
agent of the Machinists' Union, spoke
on the need for labor defense and Of
the many cases that the International
Labor Defense is now handling and
urged all the workers present to join
the International Labor Defense
branch here in order to beat back the
attempts of the boss-ruled police to
break up workers gatherings.
Police Leave Meeting Alone.
Tho the same dicks that made the
arrest at the Lenin meeting were pres
emit and had a number of police on
hand no attempts were made to inter-
fere with the meeting.
The local International Labor De-
Tense branch has gained number of
new members since the persecution of
workers organizations has started
here and on March 10 it is planned to
hold a Paris Commune celebration.
The two youngsters that were ar
rested and held over six hours by the
police were subjected to one of the
worst gruellings that the police could
devise. They attempted to learn from
the youngsters who had given them
the leaflets advertising this mass
meeting.
Terrorize Youngsters.
When the lads refused to answer
the questions the police beloved at
them, one was offered 500 and the
other $50 if he would tell who gave
him the leaflets. The police also
drove the boys around the city in an
attempt to get them to tell where they
had procured the leaflets. Every at
tempt was made by the police to make
it appear that these lads were com
hitting a criminal offense for the dis.
tribution of these leaflets. This at
tempt on the part of the police tC
stage dramatic exposure" of the
reds failed miserably as all the work
ers know that to distribute handbills
is not illegal and that if the police
really wanted to know who gave the
youngsters the leaflets they could
have found out at the mass protest
meeting.

COSSACKS TO PLAY
kAVkAZ IN PHILLY

FPHILADELPHIA August 7.--Ses-
quicentennial Stadium, scene of vir-
tually every American sport since its
opening June / will present a novelty
to sport fans the week of August 16
during the engagement of the Russian
CoSsacks.
The cossacks from the steppes of
the Caucasus will play their native
game-kavkaz-whic Is II combina-
ton of soccer. polo, basket ball and
foot ball. There are ten men on a
side and all are mounted.
Like basket ball. the game begins
with an official tossing a soccer bau
covered with sheepskin in the center
of the field The ball may be carried
or passed down the field as the teams
endeavor to shoot the ball into a goal.
A distinctive feature is that the
rules permit a player to wrest the
ball from an opponent. AS In foot
ball this causes a great deal Of per-
sonal contact and unless the officials
are on the watch the game may be-
come rough. A ~
: 1t is in this game that the remark
able horsemanship of the Cossacks
rises to it's greatest heights, The
men "dribble" their way through the
opposing defense in a manner similar
to that of the great RED" Grange.
The Cossacks will play series of
matches every afternoon with Army.
Police and Club polo teams.

COONEY NEAR RECORD
FOR WORK AT SHORT

NEW YORK, August when
Jimmy Cooney, shortstop of the Chi
cago Cubs. accepted Is chances against
the Phillies In the second game of the
present series in Philadelphia he
tied the seasons record for both ma
jor leagues that had been made by
rabbit" MaranviIle of Brooklyn.
Cooney came within one of the world
record for putouts with his total Of
ten. Years ago Shorty Fuller Of the
Giants made the record number of
eleven put outs at shortstop. The
record in the American League Is ten
and that is held by Napoleon LaJole.
who made 1t in 1901.
Shorty Fuller made his record in
1895. Imagine that-all these 80 years
and more have come and gone and
not another shortstop In either big
league has made eleven putouts In
a game of nine innings.
Cooney Is the son of a shortstop,
who played with the Cubs, too. If
the elder Cooney had been a keen and
healthy batter he would have been Il
bigger ball player. His son never has
taken an we'll to batting az he has to
fielding and that Is one reason why ne
has fguTed In trades. The Cardinals
let him go to Chicago to get Keen.
1t was a mighty good trade a II around
as things have worked out.
Cooney certainly has been a help
to Joe Mccarthy since he felt that his
job was to last all season. Things so
shaped themselves that the Cubs could
not very well trade him. The other
shortstop material which they tried
to bring up, Shannon being q notable
sample, did not ripen well.
