FINE CARD ARRANGED
FOR TRAPSHOOTERS

With the final event on the Four
Months trophy carded, in addition to
the HELEN Cup and 16-yard competi-
tons. the regular Saturday afternoon
trapshooting program of Washington
Gun Club this week at the Benning
traps is particularly attractive.
Chief interest centers in the Four
Months trophy race. DIR. w. d. Mon
roe, who distinguished himself early
this week by winning the class c
championship in the Grand American
handicap at Vandalia. Ohio. is leading
in the battle for the cup with four
legs. Frank Burrows is right behind
him with three and a number are
credited with two.
With the Four Months trophy race
decided, the HELEN test will hold the
spotlight, and after Saturday as many
events on this award as desired may
be shot at any time. This is to give
shooters opportunity of firing the 300
birds required for qualification prior
to the field cunning season.
In the 16-yard event Saturday club
spoon will go to high scratch gun as
we'll as the high handicap competitor.

N YEW YORK, August 25.-The
current and prospective scram
VI BILE to claim or dispute rine
4 championships seems more in
tense than any actual title
fighting.
The situation will have an additional
complication tossed into its midst
when Fidel Labarba the curly-haired
stylish fiyweight champion. forsakes
the ring for the college campus al
Stanford next month
Unless a few disputes are settled
In the meantime, four of the eight
main title divisions will be in an un
settled condition.
Already the pack has taken up the
chase for Labarba's 112-pound honors
frankie Genaro, the little New York
Italian who lost the American hy'
weight crown to Labarba, has started
n comeback. Billy Kelly Of Scranton
Pa, and Bias Rodriguez, Mexican
are among the other candidates. but
Newsboy Brown of Sioux City, Iowa,
If he still makes the weight, ought
to be among the formost contenders
In any elimination battle.
Bud Taylor of Terre Haute is gen.
orally recognized as the bantamweiCht
Rosenberg, who lost the championship
on the scales last Winter. Taylor, in
spite Of his convincing victory over a
New York rival, Tony CanZoneri, isn't
recognized by the boxing authorities
here. although he has the backing of
the National Boxing Association.
ConZoneri is now a contender for
the featherweight title, vacated q
year ago by Kid kaplan, but Tony is
in the position of the gentleman who
was all dressed up with no place
to go.
AS this 126-pound class stands
right now. Philadelphia appears to
have the edge on New York in a
race to award the title to a worthy
battler. Red Chapman of Boston
and Benny Bass. a hometown favo-
rite, are slated to meet in Phil
adelphia September Il in bout ad-
vertised as for the title. New YorK's
ring board had sanctioned a title
bout" between Chapman and Cam
Zoneri, but it isn't likely TO take
place.
The light heavyweight title, volun-
tarily relinquished by Jack Delaney
because of his desire to bag bigger
game, is a fourth source of dispute.
The veteran Mike McTigue is recog-
nized as the champion in New York,
but not by the boxing boards of
other States affiliated with the Ma
tional Boxing Association. Mike is
matched in October with Tommy
Loughran, Philadelphia rival, and
this bout may settle the controversy.
Despite the pairing of Little Bill
Johnston and Dick Williams in the
national doubles, it is still more than
likely that the other two members OF
the Davis Cup team, Big Bill Tilden
and Frank Hunter, will be the dou
bles selection for the international
matches 1t will afford an interesting
and perhaps decisive test should they
meet in the national doubles tourna
ment at Boston next week.
1t Is difficult to figure, however
how the versatile and hardy Tilden
can be left out of the doubles combina
ton. Big Bill has shown an amazing
ability to adapt himself to various
partners and win doubles titles. He
teamed with Vincent Richards to win

Reasons Given Why

By Party Central
Especial Cable to Daily Worker).

Especial Cable to Daily Worker).
MOSCOW, Oct. 24.-The following
is the text of the resolution of the
Central Committee of the All-Union
Communist Party in regard to the ex-
pulsion of Zinoviev and Trotsky from
the Central Committee:
"The joint plenary meeting of the
Central Committee and the Central
Control Commission in August, 1927,
showed the utmost tolerance and con-
ciliation in regard to Trotsky and
Zinoviev, having given these comrades
the possibility to keep the obligation
which they undertook on the 9Th of
August to abandon factional strife,
and having confined itself to making
last warning.
"However Trotsky and Zinoviev
once again deceived the party-and most
grossly broke their own promises, not
cnly refusing to eliminate the ele-
ments of factional strife but, on the
contrary, bringing factional strife
against the Party and against Party
unity to measure bordering upon the
creation of new anti-Leninist party
jointly with bourgeois intellectuals.
Therefore the joint plenary meet
ing of the Central Committee and the
Central Control Commission further
resolves to submit to the Fifteenth
Party Congress for examination all
data in regard to the factional activi-
ties of the leaders of the Trotskyist
opposition (organizing illegal anti
party printing office for the purpose
Of destroying the Party, formation of
the bloc with the renegades, Maslow,
Ruth Fischer and Souvarine for the
purpose of destroying the Comintcrn,
etc.,, as well as Smirnov's group"

ing leaflets in the fur market.
The meeting last night was ar

Gitlow told of the 1926 fur strike
and said the right wing attempted to
break it, their failure to do so result
ing in better conditions for the work
ers in the industry. Louis Cohen pre-
sided at the meeting.
Dora Kaplan was arrested at noon
yesterday at Sixth Ave. and 9th St.,

Workers of Ar'buckle
Sugar Refinery Must
Toll 13 Hours Daily
a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
That Brooklyn workers today are
forced to work shifts of from II to 13
hours may seem astounding news to
most Brooklyn residents. But these
are the actual conditions that obtain
in the Arbuckle Sugar Refinery in
Brooklyn.
Outside of the actual refinery de-
partment, the shipping department
and mechanics have an 11-hour day.
The night shift is 13 hours long for
many. Firemen work in a blazing
boiler room for hours
The Arbuckle Sugar Refinery is
one of three sugar refineries in
Brooklyn. Conditions there are typi-
cal of the sugar industry in Brook
lyn.
And for this long day of slavery
under the most exacting conditions,
the pay is pitifully inadequate. La
borers get 46 cents an hour. Me-
chanics get little more. Women get
a pittance of 80 cents an hour.
Need it be added that we workers
in the sugar industry have no union

HEAD OF BRITISH
MISSION HEADED
SPIES IN U,S.S.R.
Trial in Moscow Proves
Espionage There

MOSCOW, Oct. 24.-Today's sit
ting of the high court in the trial OF
the British spies, the Public Prose
cutor Kondrushkin pointed out that
thru his own statements the accused
had proven beyond doubt that espion-
age against the Union fof Socialist
Soviet Republics had centered in the
British mission at Moscow.
Hodgson, head of the British mis-
sion, personally directed the work of
the spies with the coopeation of
Charnoks and other officials of the
mission.
The trial further shows that Brit
ish Imperialism is exerting all efforts
to destroy the Soviet Power. The
espionage for which the British mis-
sion sought agents in circles of the
bourgeoisie and the bourgeois intel
lectuals is one of such means.
Kondrushkin demanded capital pun
ishment of the brothers Prove, of
Korepanov, formerly jurisconsult of
the revolutionary military council,
and of Nanov, who was an official
Of the war department. He asked
imprisonment for Podreskov, who
was an official of the war depart
ment.
The high court passed sentence of
capital punishment On the brothers
Prove and upon Korepanov, and gave
a two-year Jail sentence each to Nan
ov and Podreskov.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-According to a
rumor being circulated here, negotia-
tions for solid anti-Soviet bloc of
European powers are under way.
Great Britain is playing the leading
role. Britain's offer to satisfy the
imperial ambitions of Germany and
Italy are said to make the possibility
of an agreement in the near future
possible.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, British
foreign minister, is reported to have
discussed the proposed agreement
with BRAND, Primo de Rivera, Span

Wholesale Murder
Of NicaraguanS to
Continue, Is Order

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a (FP).-
Answering the statement of Amer
lean mining engineers in northern
Nicaragua that the entire population
in certain regions of the republic is
sympathetic with the native forces
that are resisting the American con-
quest, Secretary of State Kellogg de-
clared on October % that these ma
tive forces are simply outlaws and
bandits.
He was reminded that the navy's
own reports show that $40 of the
Nicaraguans have been killed by
American marines and constabulary
since May 4-the date when Special
Commissioner Henry N. Stimson an
nounced that Nicaragua was "paci-
fled" He was asked whether the
American policy of killing these ma
tive Nicaraguans would continue, re-
gardless of the extent of the uprising
in future.
Calls Liberals Outlaws"
Kellogg refused to reply to this
question, but asserted that even Gen.
Moncada, former Liberal commander,
agrees that the armed forces led by
Gen. Sandino are common outlaws" i"
Moncada is about to consult Kellogg
as to his chances in the Nicaraguan
