When your dispositions soggy,
And your soul is feeling groggy--
You. need. golf;
When your nights are long and
wakeful
And you think your wife is hateful
YOU need golf;

Yon'r re nots fit with folks to minglc
Till your pulse begins to tingle
From that golf.
When your stance has lost alignment
From the Offices confinement

You'll sure slice and top and hook i
Till you're frantic-and youll look it
But that's golf;
J You will fan, then dig from under
Your remarks will roll like thunder,
Sliced again-more caddie plunder-
That's true golf.
Suddenly your form will tighten,
All at once your troubles brighten
That is golf;
And you drive-two hundred fifty:
Man, this driver sure is nifty
Just pure golf.

Robertson's No-Hit Game Really
Handicapped His Career

Handicapped His Career
One remarkably pitched ball game
often makes a pitcher in the majors.
This is particularly true if it comes
early in his career as it gives him
the confidence that is usually the
asset most needed
1t is not often that one remarkably
pitched ball game tends to handicap
la twirler's career, yet many of the
wise men of baseball are inclined to
think that Charley Robertson, for
merly Of the Chicago White Sox,
has been such a victim.
| 1t so happened that / umpired the
game that many Of the experts be
lieve injured, &ather than jhefped,
Robertson's career as big Lacquer.
It was a no-hit, no-run gamer in
which !. not a player reached first
base TO make the feat all the more
/ extraordinary, it was made at the
expense of the Detroit club, the hard
est hitting outfit in the American
league. #
Robertson pitched gthat great game
in the spring of the year. Only a
flew weeks previous he had made his
big league debut. Detroit had i
men in the 300 class that year, which
Twill give some idea of the power OF
the club at the bat.
Throughout the game Robertson
pitched like a veteran instead of ;
rookie. He merely laughed at TIM
protests of the Detroit club that h'
was doctoring the BALL. u

That one game made me feel pretty

Parents Win Fight With
School Board Over the
Transfer of Children

The parents of children going
Lowell school, Hirsch and Spauldin
streets, have won a fight with tt
school board that has been waginl
since February 1, when large number:
of the children were ordered by schoo
authorities to transfer to other schools
because of oyercrowding.
Organized into the Northwest Par
ents' League, they have kept up a
constant battle with the McAndrew
board for the reversal of the order to
send their children to schools outside
of the neighborhood. Many of the
parents have kept their children out of
school since February in protest.
The board has finally agreed to re-
turn the children to their original
school of record and to take steps to
build additions to Lowell school. The
parents cause became a serious one
when one of the children, in going
the further distance to new school
and having to cross streetcar tracks,
was run down and injured by truck.

1863 MINERS is
DEATH TOLL IN
MONTH OF MARCH
Average 1000 Deaths a
Year

WASHINGTON, April - A-Aeci-
dents in coal mines in the United
States during March cost the lives of
1863 miners, according to reports from
state mine inspectors of the bureau
of mines. OF this total 1872 men were
killed in bituminous mines and 81 In
the anthracite. Coal production for
the month was 54,927,OOO tons, of
which 46,1S7,OOO tons were bitumi-
nous. This made the fatality rate 3.s
per million tons, average, the rates
for bituminous and anthracite repect-
lively being 2.S6 and AL
65s In Three Months.
An explosion at Eccles,- w. Va,
March s killed 10 men. 1t was the
seventh major disaster this year, these
seven explosions having killed 100, of
the miners. For the same period In
1925 there were three major disasters
which cost 81 lives. All mine acct
dents for the first three months of
1926 have caused the deaths of $50
men, as compared with $50 killed in
the same period of 1926. Gas and
dust explosions are credited with the
large number Of major disasters this
year.
1000 Year.
Philip Murray, vice-president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, tes-
tifying on coal legislation before the
house committee on interstate and for
eign commerce recently, said that the
average total Of deaths per year
among American coal miners on the
job is 1000, while 10000 of them are
injured. He declared that complete
unionization of the industry would
bring about a very great decrease in
the number of killed and injured in
mine accidents, because better en-
forcement of safety rules would be
secured.

Especial to The Daily workerl

WASHINGTON, D. c., April -. -
Wall Streets government is still re-
lentlessIy driving toward Dawes plan
for France. That government has been
given a take 1t or leave It" PROPOSE
tion containing what are described as
minimum terms of funding the war
debt of $4,000, 900, 900, it was officially
disclosed at the treasury today. The
French cabinet is now presumably
considering the figures.
The strict terms are designed also
for political purposes in the coming
campaign, as already the administra-
tion fears the defeat OF those senators
and congressman standing for re-elec-
tion who have supported the Morgan
republican-democrat coalition in all
the recent legislation.
Reply Expected Tomorrow.
The American terms were contained
in a counter-proposal handed Ambas-
sador Beringer on Tuesday and cabled
to Paris. A reply is expected not later
than tomorrow and may be forthcom-
ing late today.
While the treasury declined to make
public the figures offered France, it is
reliably understood they involve pay
ments of not less than $40,000.000 an
nually for the first five years of g.
year agreement, with graduated pay
ments running to approximately $115,-
100000 annually in the later years.
The 100000 figure is the same as
that proposed by Caillaux here last
October.
The security clause has been elimi-
mated entirely, it is understood.
Now Up to France.
While treasury officials asserted to-
day that "it is now entirely up to
France" they declined to state
whether the American proposition is
i'm the nature of an "ultimatum.
Questions as to whether the negotia-
tions had passed the trading stage"
were pointedly evaded. It was as
serted, however, that France will get
no better terms than proposed in the
offer now before the French cabinet.

NEW YORK, April 3o.-"Until the

slogan voiced at the meeting Of shop
ehairmen held in Webster Hall this
afternoon where plans for the con-
tlnuation of the fur strike were dis
cussed.
The meeting was unanimous in its
approval of Ben Colds announce
ment that if negotiations for a settle

successful, the strike would 60 on
with undiminished vigor. Gold an
nounced that the general strike com
mittee was completing financial ar
rangements that would keep the
strike going until the strikers cause
was victorious.
Forecasts Victory.
"And it will be victorious" said
Gold, Gin spite of all the opposition of
the bosses, and all the activities of
officials of the international who help
the employers cause by their traitor
Gus actions"
Gold then referred in detail to three
articles attacking the leadership of
the strike which are published this
week in the Fur Worker, official organ
Of the union. The shop chairmen also
spoke vehemently on this same sub
ject and denounced these officials who
are betraying the strikers. They
finally adopted, unanimously, state
ment saying:
Denounce Officials.
1.-THE recent issue of the Fur Work
er has clearly and publicly proven to
all fur strikers, as well as to the en-
tire labor movement, that our inter-
national officials directly serve the
manufacturers and exert all their
power to help the bosses and defeat
the strikers. The same policies used
by provocateurs and traitors have
also been adopted by the treacehorus

Enemies of Workers.
1--WE, the shop chairmen want to
state to the striking furriers and the
entire labor movement that the whole
clique are considered by US as the
bitterest enemies of the fur workers
and all workers. In our battle against
