The Kcnsington baseball tean might have made d poor start ir both the Corbin Red Sox and FaIcor series, but it is surely making { great comeback and today stands or top of the heap following two vic. tories over the Red Sox. one on Sat. urday and the other yesterday aft. ernoon. Saturdays game ended with the score II 10 1 in favor of Buck. iey's clan while yesterdays gam, went to kensington by a to l score.
 The Corbin Red Soy on Saturday were far removed from the cham pionship class as team and s worse exhibition of baseball has never been seen in this city. A total of l3 errors were chalked up against Tobin's crew and only Snyder schmidt and Flynn had a perfect day in the field. Two pitchers were used, Flynn and Berg. Flynn lasted until the middle of the fourth and was yanked with only four hits chalged up against him but it was thought that the team that had gone to pieces would pick up with Berg in the box, but the change made little difference.
 kensington seized every opportun- fly to score and in the fourth alone the team scored seven times. Berg held the southenders to two runs while he was in the box. but his mates were nearly as bad at bat as in the field. Yale started the game, but due to an old injury to his arm. had 10 retire after the third inning. Slim" Politis relieved him and he never before pitched a better game than he threw Saturday. He was in championship form and although the SoX scored one run off his de- livery, it was on a misplay and not an earned run.
 George Fields proved conclusively that he Is the best third baseman in these parts when after having 10 chances last Sunday without a blob, be accepted eight more in Satur- days game and failed to err on any of them. Frank (Hack Schuman) Sheehan whaled out a pretty triple for the hitting feature while Fields playing was the fielding feature for kensington. There was no redeem Corbin Red SoX and no pitcher could have won with the team play ing the way it did. The account of the game by plays, follows:
 First Inning
 ensington-Patrus was hit by a pitched ball. Bcgley sacrificed him to second. Shcehan flied out to Schmidt. Fields grounded to Bar nett who unused the ball up, Pa trus going to third. Mccormick flied out to Fitzpatrick. No runs, no hits one error.
 Red Sox-Fitzpatrick flied out to Fields. Jervis struck out. Snyder was thrown out, Patrus to Begley.

Cleveland S5 G. .51S
 As the season in the National league draws to bewildering close after the greatest race in modern baseball today, the importance of the game between St. Louis and Cin- cinnati on the final days of the sea- son grows steadily If the Reds win the remainder of their seven games, including the tilt with the Eornsby outfit. nothing the Cards can do will save them the flag. But let the Reds drop one game and St. Louis. by talk ing all of their five can just nose out the victory. Four of five wins for the Cardinals, and six out Of seven for the Reds would bring the season to an end with deadlock and necessitate a playoff.
 Hugh McQuillan took 1t upon himeslf to beat the Mound City tossers and with Jackson and Tyson on base in the second frame he belt d out long single that scored both runners after his battery mate, McMullen had famed in the pinch. The Cards could bunch safeties only in the fifth inning when five of their twelve hits counted three runs. Snappy clouting kept Jess Haine; and Bill Sherdel hopping about the Cydinal mound.
 The Yankees looked like their old selves yesterday for the first time in the last five games with Cleveland. The New York wrecking crew, sud- denly jumping out of their batting slump, slammed Levscn, who beat them Thursday, all over the park. Lou Gehring, with three doubles and a homer. eased five runs across the plate and Babe Ruth got in two smashes, one of them his 43rd cir cult clout of the season.

An Analysis of Corrupt Labor Journalism By Jack

Thus are they relieved of the neces-
sity of having any ideas of their own.
Like most soothing syrup their argu-
ment sounds superiicially fine. But
analyze the ingredients of most such
syrups and you will usually find a
narcotic. Examine the basis upon
which this contention rests and you'll
find bourgeois apologist. Let
us examine the account of our "im-
partial" journalist in the Advance.
How impartial does. his attitude look
when it has thrown upon it the spot
light Of critical analysis?
LIE quotes, for example, these words
IL from a speech delivered before
the convention by William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor: II have no quarrel with
member of our union who may be
classified as a radical. In fact, am
glad to see that spirit manifest itself.
would rather see that alive in every
organization than would see it dried
up with dry rot"
Present while Green was delivering
himself Of this palaver was William
r. Dunno who was expelled from the
A. f. Of l.. at its convention in 1929
for his known radical leanings. He
was reporting the convention OF the
garment workers for The DAILY
WORKER. Also present were Hyman,
Zimmerman and many others who
few brief months previously had been
intended victims OF Sigman's pre-con-
vention expulsion rampage.
These militant working class repre-
sentatives must have either snickered
or growled, according TO their indi-
vidual temperaments, while Green
was handing out this kind of soft
soap" But the reporter for the Ad.
vance could not go behind the speak.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 10. - Soup

schools. More than Is gallons Of soup
and over "a loaves of bread are used
daily.
The Scranton board of education
reports practically all schools short
Of fuel. Teachers and pupils are
suffering from colds which often
develop into pneumonia. Three
schools in Dunmore are closed for
lack Of heat. Scranton teachers are
seeking $40 a month increase, but the

given. Where the taxes of the coal

THE Advance, official organ Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, in
its issue of January 1, 1926, carries
an article entitled "Sidelights on the
l. L. G. w. U. Convention which clas-
sically illustrates the way for a labor,
and supposedly radical organ to begin
the new year wrong. Moreover, the
writer of the article, an ambitious
young man whose name appears with
about equal frequency in the Advance
and the New Leader New York organ
of the socialist party, illustrates typic-
ally an attitude of mind of which all
class conscious workers will be wary.
The article and the attitude it por-
trays will therefore warrant examina-
tion and discussion.
The article recites with more or less
exactitude that which occurred upon
the floor of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Convention. No
shade of Interpretation is given to
anything which took place there; no
comment is passed upon any of its
decisions; no historical background
without which facts as such are
worthless) is attempted for any of the
issues that were there at stake. The
bare external manifestations of the
points at issue are merely recited as
they appeared to one who does not
know, or at any rate pretends not to
be concerned with the deeper issues
involved. Here then we have another
of those always painful attempts at
an unprejudiced recital of the facts"
THIS sort Of an attempt to refuse to
Il face the realities of the class strug-
gle is as old as certain among the
bourgeois professors who, In spite OF
themselves, have come to understand
the working OF the social order, but
who do not possess enough courage to
take a radical stand. Their argument
runs something like this; "The thing
to do Is not to take sides but to pre-
sent facts--facts and facts alone. Set
forth that which took place without
Interpretation or comment, and be

Sigman took leading part in con-
tributing lessons from his long ex-
perience with the union"
In spots, if we are careful, we find
"impartiality" breaking down, and
when it does we do not overlook
whittier it points.
TN the struggle of the working class
4 against the established order, there
can be but one of two positions-for
or against. There can be no middle
ground, there can be no half way or
impartial position He who does
not take up the cudgels against the
established order, by his very inactiv
ity and failure to act, tacitly acquies.
ces in its maintenance.
This again is classically exemplified
in the Advance. Our youthful and
impartial reporter closes signifi-
cantly: Perhaps after all Left-Right
will be followed by Forward March! 4"
zone is tempted to suspect that he
means the Jewish Daily Forward
But Forward March" toward what?
Toward the left or the right wing?
The two are incompatible, and in the
absence of an alternative position the
plea for Forward March means to-
ward the position of the party in office
in this case the Sigman machine.
GLASS conscious workers are in no
- mood for "impartiality." They
have learned time and time again, thru
bitter experience, that 1t leads but to
the path Of either their exploiters or
their betrayers in the labor ranks

want frankly partiality-partiality in
favor OF the abolition of capitalism
and the substitution of a workers re-
public.
They realize that this cannot be ac.
complished in day, but they also
realize that the better organized they
are toward their ultimate revolution.

OR again, stuck of in an innocent
~ looking corner of the page is re-
corded the fact that the convention
went on record in favor of recognition
by the United States of the Soviet
Republic. Fine" exclaims the rank
and file worker who is unacquainted
with the history Of that decision, "the
International and its leaders are on the
correct road" That is the only con-
clusion such a reader could arrive at
from this so-called impartial" report,
for nothing is added to throw light
upon the fact that this was a purely
left-wing issue, won thru hard fighting
over the opposition of President Sig
man, who wrote in the pre-convention
period (Justice, Nov. 27, 1920:
g.. No person who regards human
freedom as the greatest conquest of
our civilization, can recognize the
Russian government, which is the
embodiment of the greatest tyranny of
our day and the most outspoken vio-
lator Of the idea of human freedom"

ers can see at glance thru the I'M

vance.
A MOTHER reported decision in the
"A same article is that the conven.
ton demanded liberation Of political

because they would, II possible, be-
tray the only workers and peasants

national militarists and bankers. He
could not do this because on such
matters he and the Advance must be
impartial"

the formation Of labor party" once

kind OF aipipartiality" Mr.. sigman is

of bare facts obviates the necessity
of recording, alongside of this, Mr..
Sigman's pre-convention opposition to
the left-wing demand for labor party
with the false argument that "if all
the workers are to belong to one po-
litical party :. : whoever would ven
ture to belong to another political
group or school would by the nature
of this resolution be Disseminated. "
In the Advance we find neither a
record of this Sigman position, nor
the fallacy behind it. Mr.. Sigman,
together with the left-wing, is by in
nuendo crediteh with the labor party
plank.
TN this fashion, were it necessary,
L we could examine the article in the
