RESOLUTION FOR
USSR DELEGATION
Fitzpatrick, Just Back,
Likely To Be Sponsor

It was learned yesterday that a
resolution calling for the appoint
ment of an official American Fedora
tion of Labor delegation to visit the
Soviet Union would probably be in
troduced at the convention to open at
Los Angeles, October 3, by James w.
Fitzpatrick, of the Associated Actors
and Artists Federation, who returned
Monday with the American Trade
Union delegation.
This is likely, it is said, despite the
fact that Fitzpatrick declined to sign
the preliminary statement issued by
the Delegation praising Soviet econ
omy, and declaring that it was Sim
pressed by the hopeful spirit with
which the workers were participat-
ing in the life a1d activities of their
country"
Maurer Laude' Workers Condition.
James H. Maurer, president of the
Pennsylvania Federation of Labor,
who headed the delegation, declared
that Sin spite of the postwar destruc-
ton, the blockade and the backward
technique of the Soviet Union, social
istic forms of economy have proved
their vitality and their advanta ges
over capitalist economy"
Maurer, together with his wife and
son, who came to New York to meet
him upon his arrival from Soviet
Russia, left for Reading, Pa, where
workers there were planning a re-
ception in his honor.
John Brophy, former president of
District 2, United Mine Workers of
America, also left the city for Pitts
burgh. Frank Palmer, member of the
Denver typographical union and for
mer editor of the Colorado Labor Ad-
vocate, left for the west. Albert F.
Coyle, secretary of the delegation and
executive secretary of the all-Amer-
lean Cooperative Commission, took
the train for Cleveland.
Journalist Praises U.S.S.R. Housing.
Housing conditions in the Soviet
Union were enthusiastically praised
yesterday by Upton Close, lecturer
at the University Of Washington and
writer on problems of the Near East,
who returned Monday with the Anne
rican Trade Union delegation which
spent more than month studying
economic, political and social condi-
tions in the U. S. S. R.
Close, who was not an official
member of the delegation, but joined
it in Soviet Russia travelling by way
of Manchuria after having spent

Current Events
By ~. J. O'FIaherty

~ last Monday night and there are
great doings in the immediate vicinity
of our editorial rooms. We wish to
gratefully acknowledge the many
New Year greetings we have received
from orthodox descendants of the
missing tribes In this part of the
world Rosh-ha- -Shanah ushers in the
5,628 year of earthly existence, and
they may be right at that. Business
was so brisk on Monday night that
temporary synagogues were opened
and there was big rush on Third
Avenue pawn-shops until the regular
closing time at 6 p. m.
IT was impossible to locate a needles
trades labor leader who like our
selves on St. Patrick's Day, take ad-
vantage of all the breaks no matter
from what source they emanate. A
holiday is a holiday, but why such
a rebellious people as the Hebrews
should tolerate the exorbitant adj
mission fee Of $40 to hear cantor
roar in a synagogue when they could
have as much noise for nothing in
our print shop when The DAILY
WORKER is being gotten ready for
the press, is beyond my understand
ing.
NATHAN Strauss, the banker and
~ philanthropist, who is behind the
soup kitchen industry in Jerusalem,
delivered a Rosh-ha-Shanah message
in which he claimed that Henry Ford's
reformation was one of the greatest
victories scored by the Jewish people
in the past year. Now if the Jewish
moving picture magnates will call in
the movies that crate on the patriotic
sensibilities of the Irish people in
America, we may look forward to an
era of peace outside of few wori3
wars. Nathan Strauss did not men
tion the victories scored by his fellow
capitalists in the needle trades unions
when, with the aid of The Sigmans,
Beckermans and Hillquits they par
TALLY destroyed the unions ratht~ than
permit the Left Wing leadership
elected by the workers to retain con-
troll.
BIOGRAPHIES are the rage in
~ literary circles nowadays. Paxton
Hibben, the insuppressible captain,
has written a life of Henry Ward
Beecher, the famous preacher. Ac-
cording to Hibben, Beecher was a
regular fellow and sinned as much as
he was sinned against. But about
Beecher more anon. Commodore
Cornelius Vanderbilt was another he
man who had no more ideahsm in
his soul than a weasel. He became
rich by grabbing the main chance and
developing a conscience like fox.
When his father demonstrated with
him about marrying the girl of his
choice, the founder of the House of
Vanderbilt is alleged to have said:
There amt nobody alive kin talk to
me like that. Find some one else to
feed ye." The commodore became re-
ligious in his late years but he never
allowed it to interfere with his busi-
ness.
PRESIDENT Coolidge is said to be
annoyed because his beneficiaries
refuse to take his 'I do not choose"
for an answer, and insist on trying
to organize spontaneous mass move
ment that would demand a re-
consideration of his Rapid City de-
cision not to run for reelection.
Canny Calvin is said to be slated for
a 100000 job with the Steel Trust.
In this job he can retain all the re-
minders of his happy South Dakota

By the Associated Press.
 Three defeats marked the first charge of the American league west against the eastern baseball front and today the invaders were devislng new tactics to combat the combina- ton of pitching and hitting to which they were subjected yesterday.
 Dutch" Ruether turned back a badly disorganized Detroit club with only two hits, one of the best pitch ing performances of the season, and the New York Yankees won by 20 score. It was their fifth victory in the last six starts. It also was the first time in 22 years that Detroit had invaded the Yankee stronghold without the inspiration of Ty Cobb.
 Tyrus Raymond himself was t1gur- ing in an S-4 victory that the Phila- delphia Athletics scored over Cleve- land. Poe Pate, essaying a relief pitching role, checked threatening Indian rally in the fourth and there after Cleveland was somewhat inept, if not altogether inconsequential
 Every player in the Washington lineup got at least one hit and one run in the Senators liz rout Of the St. Louis Browns. Manager Bucky Harris altered his lineup and bat ting order with surprising effect and Iris Speaker. playing first base. fg- ured in five double plays.

 The New York. Giants. starting their western invasion in the Ma tional league, found tartar in the trailing Cincinnati Redlegs, who car red them through 12 innings before McGraw's men pulled out 5-A vlc- tory. Eddie Roush started f1nal batting rally that produced two runs. Cincinnati shot three singles out in their half of the twelfth but left the tying run stranded on third base. Burleigh Grimes relieved McQulllan in the second inning and pitched nine consecutive scoreless innings.
 The pace-setting Pittsburgh Pl- rates regained their momentum and fattened out Philadelphia, '-3' after old Cy Williams had tied the score in the sixth inning with home run that scored two men ahead of him. Carmen Hill allowed the Quakers only five hits.

Billy Wolfe who was on the mound for the losers. pitched neat game, but the misplays of his mates behind him, coming as they did just before the hits were made. sent him down to defeat Preisser started for Ian. ders but had to retire in the fourth in favor of Chant after he had stop. ped line drive with his bare hand. injuring tn ethumb on his throwing hand. Chant held the Rulers to four hits and no scores during the six innings he worked on the slab.
 The game was tight affair up to the seventh inning. Landers got away to a nice lead in the first when a walk, an error and two singles brought through two runs. The Stanley Rule batters found Preisser for brace of hits in the second which. coupled by bad throw to first by Bucheri after brilliant stop behind second. gave them their first counter.
 They tied the score in the fourth on singles by Sopnick, Carrozza and Campbell. The Universals, however, came through to so into the lead in the fourth. A walk to Durazio. a nice single by Bates over first as 8 pinch hit which brought Durazio to third and bad throw to catch him by Thorstenson from right field, gave them a run.
 Chant here started to pitch and he was invincible in the box. Lan- ders made their margin safer in the seventh inning which was their big frame. With one out, Eddie Goeb slammed one into right field for three bases. Bucheri sent low liner to Thorstenson and the right fielder after getting both hands on the ball. dropped 1t. Goeb scoring.

 Bucheri's work on short paired nicely with the pitching of Chant for Landers while the entire team played nice ball behind its pitchers. Argosy by his clever work on first and Campbell on third shone for the Rulers while Wolfe. besides his ex- cellent pitching performance. proved to be the heavy hitter with two bingles out of three trips.

League Standing

One of the most weird baseball games in the annals of the Indus- trial league was staged last night at Walnut Hill park in the Indus trial league between the Fafnir and Russwin teams. Hits of all sorts were made by the members of both teams while record for runs in one game was established. The to- tai runs with the score s2 to 10 was 42. In the other game played on Diamond No. 2. the Landers team defeated the Stanley Rule in a good game. to ?.
 Weird Ball Game.
 In one of the heaviest hitting games seen in the Dusty" league this season, the Fafnir team trounc- ed the Russwins by a 32 to 10 score. The game was listless affair as the twirlers of both teams were in poor form. The Russwin moundsmen, had the worst of it as the Tafnirs slammed out o4 hits and crossed the plate for g runs.
 The Bearing Makers used their entire squad of 13 players and all but two secured one or more hits during the game. Johnny Klatke was the big boy with the willow, con- meeting for four safeties in six at- tempts. He hit 8 homer, triple and two. singles. Kenure ran him a close second with four in seven. a homer. triple and two singles. Jim O'Brien was the other member of the crew to slam out homer. All the hits trav- eled far and wide, and the game was a slamming affair from start to fin- ish.
 The farce started off much in fa- vor of the Russwins for in the first ming they scored three runs when Luke drew a free ticket, Hennessey was hit by a pitched ball and Nor elli then connected for a double. He scored soon after when Howard singled to short. That. however. was the end Of the Russwins' scoring, for the Fafnirs stepped on 1t and hit the ball to all corners of the lot. They took the lead away from the Russ wins in their turn at bat and ran wild in the remaining innings. The game was called at the end of the eighth inning by agreement Of both teams. The summary:
