Riding of Felsch

In the days of Carrigan, the Boston
subs reclining on the bench all perked
up when Hap Felsch of the Chicago
White Sox came to the bat.
Hap was rather sensitive fellow,
didn't relish being ridden, and for
that reason tthe bench never over
looked him. When he came up several
marks that always got under
Felschs skin would Immediately float
plateward from the bench. 4
This would start Felsch arguing
with the Boston players not in the
game Carrigan would add fuel to the
flames by agreeing with Felsch, telling
him those "bushers'', not even in the
game, had plenty of nerve riding a
star like him.
Incidentally he might look toward
the Boston bench and in an authori-
tative manner order the yelling cut
out. In all probability that was the
sign to keep it up. +

BRITISH BANKS
TO GUARANTEE
SOVIET TRADE
Take HGrrimGn's Place

BERLIN, April 15.-The pressure of
disapprovaI brot to bear by the United
States government upon w. AVerlll
Hartman, the American financier, in
connection with his proposition of
financing Soviet Union trade with Ger
many, has compelled the giving up of
his plan by Hartman. As eonse-
quenee negotiations are proceeding
with the certain British Interests to
accomplish the same object.
The scheme was originally formu-
lated by the German government Of
Chancellor Luther at the reported in
itiative of Dr. Schacht, the President
of the Reichsbank, in order both to

the Soviet Union was to receive such

OO,O0O,OOO marks approximately
500, 00O,000) was to be guaranteed up
to 60 per cent by the Reichsbank and
the treasures ofithe various German
states.
The other 40 per cent on the pur-
chases would have to be assumed by
the sellers. In order to realize on the
notes settling such deals these would
have to be paid in advance by the Ger
man banks, as the German industries
are not in position to carry such
longtime obligations on their books.
This Is where the hitch came in, so far
as German financing was concerned.
The large banks refused to endorse
these Soviet payment notes unless
they were to receive almost II per
cent interest a year, besides a per
cent discount for handling them. In
addition they demanded a special 2
per cent and an extraordinary commits
sion OF ~ per cent. These exorbitant
rates we're refused consideration both
by the German manufacturers involv
ed and the Soviet government.

Especial to The Daily Worker,

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 15-Last
week, Judge Maneuseo in addressing
the incoming grand jury in New York
City, informed them that the district
attorney intended to present to them
some 40 cases of violence occurring
in connection with the fur strike
which has been going on for eight
weeks in this city.
The Judge stated that all the vio-
lence was caused by the Furriers'
Union which employed gangsters to
attack innocent" scabs and bosses.
The Judge grew very eloquent about
law and order and the rights of work
ers to work where they pleased, and
the rights OF employers to. employ
whom they pleased and the terrible
habits of labor unions which carried
on strikes. He ended by saying that
order must be maintained in. this
city and the grand jury must investi-
gate and see why disorder has been
frequent in connection with the fur
strike.

gangsters was promptly repudiated

ers picketing his shop.
+ The manufacturer was Morris Pass
man, of the firm of Bernstein and
Passman of PA West 29th street, and
on the evening of April first he and
hired gangster made an attack upon
a group of striking fur workers who
were picketing his shop. First his
gangster, Charles Armes, attacked
two Of the girls, throwing knife at
one and striking another in the chest.
Last week this man was found guilty
on both these charges, and he was
proven to be a CANISTER with a Sing
Sing record who had frequently been
employed for his strong arm work in
strikes.
Today when the boss himself came
up for trial on the charge of firing
three shots, his only excuse was that
he did not intend to hit anyone and
was not aiming at the workers. He
was held under $1,000 bail for further
by the grand jury, and
as Ben Gold says. "If the grand jury
investigates thoroly it will discover
just who has been using violence and
carrying on guerilla warfare during
this strike.
There has never been a single in
stance where a striking fur worker
was found carrying a weapon; and
there is not a single instance where
gangsters were found to be employed
by the union"

Trocola was one of the delegation
in Washington a few weeks ago when
the strikers were denied permission
to interview Coolidge and has been
one Of the leaders of the strike. The
mill in which he works finger-prints
and registers its employees and they
must carry with them their card with
their finger-prints on it in order to
enter and leave the premises on which
they work.
With him were four men and wo-
men and six children Of strikers. It
was on the fiimsy pretext that the
cnild labor law was being violated
that the pickets were dispersed. Thus
the capital police join hands with the
New Jersey uniformed thugs of the
mill owners in order to crush the
workers who are on strike for decent
conditions and to resist the wage cuts
