Daily Worker Wants
Grounds for Picnic
This Coming Summer

The DAILY WORKER wishes
to arrange for this summer an
unusual outing and picnic. We find
that the average run Of amuse-
ment or picnic ground does not
offer the facilities for real enjoy
ment which we would like to offer
our comrades. Therefore we are
asking comrades to scout the var.
ious sections of the country in the
vicinity Of New York City for a
place which can offer some real
attractions, good bathing, room for
sports, hiking and boating if pos
sible, at very reasonable rates. We
ask all comrades to get on the job
and report their findings to the

Demand
That Wright Act
Against GraftGrS

Considerable comment is being
made by progressive members Of the
Painters Union, who are wondering
what is being done about the graft
case of their former officials.
The fourth month is now elaps-
ing since the Inauguration of new
regime in the office Of the district
council Of painters in New York, with
Thomas Wright as the new respon-
sible secretary. The thing which
made it possible to GUST the former
officials, Phillip Zausner and Charles
Koeuig, from their we'll entrenched
stronghold, was the expose Of the
latter's administration and their
defrauding of the councils treasury,
estimated to be between $4,000 and
$4,000. Two audits of the councils
minutes and books proved the charges
to be true.
Membership Aroused.
1t is acknowledged among painters
that the credit for the expose falls
to Local 905 and its secretary Thomas
Wright, which made it possible to
challenge the Zausner regime, to GUST
them from office and to have Wright
elected to the council as responsible
secretary.
Be it understood, however, that
Wright's election resulted because the
membership was thoroughly aroused
about the corruption within the coun-
ell, and demanded that the successors
should prosecute the ousted grafters
for their fraudulant activities.
Want Results.
Of course, it is easier to accuse
than to convict, and the machine OF
justice works slow (sometimes). No
doubt the ousted gang is resourceful
and cunning enough to try to prevent
their conviction; but nevertheless,
this is clear case; the evidence of
robbery is at hand and all that is nee
essary is to see to it that action is
obtained.
No direct pressure has yet been
brought agsints Wright, but it has
been pointed out to The d ALL Y
WORKER, that Thomas Wright's re-
cord will be judged by his efforts to
live up TO the memberships expecta-
ton. If he should become lax in his
duty and permit the grafters to es-
cape punishment, then his days as
secretary of the district council are
counted. He was elected on the prom

Going back to 1899, I find that

games, in only one did McGraw fail

good batsman but he waited out the
pitcher and had the uncanny habit
of often being hit with a pitched

injury.

batting average of $50. In the 95
