ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. IA. = Re-
cent action of the proletarian party in
Rochester towards working class
movements prompted this article. Ex-
perience has proven that a party
segregated from the masses and CON
centrating on educational work can
not grow numerically and becomes
counterreYolutionary organization. Let
us see the proletarian party in action
in Rochester, for the actionslof a sec
ton OF this organization Especially
in Rochester, stronghold) can be
construed as wholly in line with their
national policies. This must be SO
since the national organization has at
no time repudiated these acts.
Oppose Workers Wishes.
AT the last quarterly meeting of the
Labor Lyceum, Com. Lippa, a Work.
ers (Communist) Party member pro-
posed motion to have the house
elect delegates to a joint conference
for the defense of Sacco and Vanzetti
now in process of organization. Isa-
dore Fisher, local organizer and teach
er of the proletarian party objected
to the motion on the grounds that the
members of the house are most likely
members of other organizations who
may send delegates to this conference.
Fisher was not alone in raising OBJ
jections to this motion, all the prole-
tartan party members present demon
strated their sympathy with these
class war prisoners and revealed their
true" and virgin" revolutionary
character by voting against this mo-
ton. The motion, of course was car
ried despite the anti-working class
role of the representations Of the pro-
letarian party.
Fight Frame-up Relief.
This anti-working class action of
the proletarian party by no means an
exceptional one, nor is it mere mis-
take, an unconscious action. Only
few months ago conference for the
defense of Sacco and Vanzetti had
been called on initiation of the Italian
local OF the Amalgamated. About fifty
delegates, representing many Ameri-
can Federation of Labor unions were
present. The Workers (Communist)
Party, the socialist party and the pro-
letarian party were represented. The
Workers Party delegates proposed
that the conference become a per-
manent one for the defense of Sacco
and Vanzetti
This action was opposed by "Com-
rade" Tsadore Fisher and the other
proletarian party delegates ON the
grounds that their organization had
instructed them to act in arranging
protest meeting for Sacco and Van
zetti and took no action in regard to
the formation of a permanent confer

SHOWS ANTI-WORKERS SENTIMENT

ence. In this attitude the proletarian
party delegates found ready allies.
The Italian business agent Cursi, a
muddleheaded labor faker took the
same position. The. Revolutionary"
proletarian party united with the re-
dictionary Hillman machine which
caused the breaking up Of this confer
ence after preparations for a mass
meeting had been made. If the pro-
letarian party delegates had support
ed the motion for permanent confer
ence the reactionary opposition would
in the opinion of the writer, have
been beaten.
ReIolced in Defeat.
But Fisher and few "peddlers" of
proletarian party Education" rather
rejoiced in the defeat of movement
to free class war prisoners than to
defend it side by side with the Work
ers (Communist) Party.
Other Instances.
Many other instances of this count
er-revolutionary role could be cited.
In May, Mrs. Fisher, a member of the
May Day committee of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of America,
dominated by the local Hillman ma
chine, was caught red-handed along
with two other members of the com
mittee conspiring with the local police
Chief Joseph M. Quigley, to restrain
the Workers Party from marching in
the May Day parade along with the
Amalgamated In the deputy chiefs
office Gustave Strebel, national or
ganizer and member of the committee
admitted having asked the chief of
police to keep the Workers Party and
its banner out Of the parade because
that would tend to give the parade
a certain political tinge."
In the action he was supported by
a foremost member of the proletarian
party, who holds her position as edu-
cational director of the Amalganiated
by virtue of this bootlicking and cow
towing to the Hillman machine.
Every honest proletarian member of
the proletarian party should demand
a reputation of these counter-revolu-
tionary tactics and immediate unity
with the Workers (Communist) Party,
the American section of the Commun-
list International.

Policemen Ask. Enough
Wage to Keep Family
and Promote Honesty"

Chicago policemen ask for a raise
in pay. They say that they are paid
less than the forces of New York and
other cities. And they point out that
they must each year spend about
SS9.35 for uniform and shoes, and
S134.50 for dues to the annuity fund
and the Policemen's Benevolent AS,
ISOLATION, which cuts their salary
down to less than $4,000.
The department of labor has esti.
mated that $4,000 is needed to keep a
family of five in health and decency."
An underpaid policeman is always
tempted to accept graft. and espe-
cially in times like these, when the
gentle art of bootlegging depends so
largely on first "fxing the force" II
the city will pay these men at least as
much as policemen command in other
cities it can then with better con-
science weed out the unfit and those
who are caught accepting brides.

GIVEN OFFICIAL
WELCOME IN N. Y.
(By Dispatch A. L. Wlre1

NEW YORK, July 2.-Bobby Jones'
winner of the British open golf
championship was acclaimed by New
York today. He received an extended
ovation with continuous bushes and
the crowds roared their approval of
his bashful modesty. The demonstra-
tion of welcome for the wizard of the
links began before he came ashore.
The municipal tug Macon, bearing $50
delegates from Atlanta, with a band
playing Dixie" went out to quaran-
tine to meet the Aquitania, which
brought Jones, AL Watrous, Watts
Gum, Roland Mckenzie, Walter Ha-
gen and other contestants from Eng
land.
Jones' wife, mother, father and
grandfather Were the first to greet
the new champion. Reporters and
photographers snatched him from
them, took his picture and piled him
with questions.
In Battery park thousands waited
to cheer the returning victor. He
was whisked through the crowd by

welcomed him to the city. He was

ME Mack would probably have started
in to change his style the moment he
arrived in the training camp.
Same Size Ball
Looking the Athletics over at Mont.
gomery. Ala, the year Simmons join
ed the AS, ] at once expressed sur
prise at his unusual style of batting
"Do you think he will be able to
hit in the majors with that style?
l asked Manager Mack.
NWell, he has hit the ball wherever
he has played, and it's the same size
Eall up here" was Comics laconic
rerly.
Note the long bat he uses and then
watch his position after he pulls and
you will observe he isn't as far away
from the plate as it seems he con-
tinued.
d did, and realized the truth of
Mack's wisdom. simmons is today one
of the best batters in the American
league, proving that style and stance
al en't absolutely necessary.
Keeps Feet Together
Others in the majors rated good
batters who don't follow the tradi
tional lines are Joe Harris of Wash
ington, Earl Combs of the Yankees
and George Brnns of Cleveland.
Harris has a very unusual crouch
that makes him appear almost stoop
shouldered. Combs has crouch style.
somewhat after the manner of Harris,
while George Burns keeps both feet
close together and doesn't step into
the ball until it is almost on him.
Heinie Groh, former Giant star, had
a peculiar stance, too. Groh directly
faced the pitcher while ut bat.
All these players are rated danger

A majority of players have a decided.
ly similar style at the bas. The feet
are Just so far apart, the distance
from the plate is invariably the same,
the bat is held at about the same spot
and it is considered most essential to
step into every pitch rather than pull
away.
Rare Exception
It has long been a theory of base
hall that no batsman could achieve
greatness who failed to step into the
ball as he started his swing. To pull
away from she plate was a fatal
fault
Then along came AL Simmons of the
Philadelphia Athletics. He proved to
be one of the few exceptions.
Simmons has a very unorthodoX

But be it said to our shame. there are some men and women, some fathers and mothers-and they are found occasionally in church circles who apparently will not admit. or cannot understand, the necessity of education. The fact is, faith can never be read into any boy or girl. any young man or woman. It must always be taught. Character never will be handed out in ready-to carry away parcels.
 Here is a lesson for our Memo rial Day. God has provided some better thing for us, that they with out us should not be made perfect. Our streets have been sprinkled with poppy sellers for almost week ana these poppies cost us but a dime. But, remember. each poppy cost some gallant man his life seven or eight years ago. Push back the petals of each individual poppy and what do you find? A perfect Nal, tcsc cross in black. That is the se- crct which every poppy hides. It was impossible in those days or 1917 and 1918 to think of the men who slept in Flanders. Ypres and Belleau Wood without thinking Of the red, rcd poppy and the black cross at it's heart.

STRONG FOR l8TH
Not One Dissenting Vote At Gen erai Federation of Womcns Club Convention Today.

Atlantic City, N. J., June 1 P}- uncompromising support of the eighteenth amendment and the Vol stead act were pledged by the Gen eral Federation of Women's clubs at the Steel Pier this morning. There was not a single dissenting voice against the passage of the resoiu- ton. It was adopted without discus sion.
 Jn the motion offered by Mrs. Gill bert r. Davis of Windsor, Vermont, it was recited that there had been much agitation for modification of the Nolstead act during the sixty ninth session of congress, and very states, It was deemed necessary. therefore, that the general federal ton should renew tits unequivocal stand taken at the Chautauqua and Los Angeles biennials."
 In another resolution by Mrs. Davis, it was decided to establish in Washington q permanent legislative bureau under the federation au- spices. It was held necessary that the general federation in the future should guard its endorsement Of proposed laws more strictly, adopt ing the trial policy for one year at least, of indorsing the principle Of new measures. rather than the bills in their entirety.
