CLEAN SPORTS

George Herman (Babe) Ruth has
just negotiated a new contract for
$4,000 a year with Colonel Rupert,
owner of the New York Yankees.
The Babe is reported to have Melted
fully $250,000 during his career in
GLIDING the income from his base
ball contract, the movies, a vaude-
vile tour, Endorsements of various
commodities and other sources. The
story of the contract, as we'll as the
recent exposures of crookedness in
which Ty Cobb and iris Speaker
were involved, has increased the dis
gust with which the average worker
is beginning to view the field of CAPT.
talist sports. These questionable
dealings demonstrate that very little
of real craftsmanship of sport for
sports sake, remains in the world of
American athletics and that this
phase of human activity, like others
in modern society, has been degraded
and prostituted by the profit seekers.
In bygone days there was a real
spur 70 ulONtulGuI III WHICH Int large
majority of the village or town popu-
lation participated with the greatest
pleasure and enjoyment. Modern city
life has become so complex that this
is rendered impossible nowadays. The
workers have, however, succeeded in
creating its modern substitute, in the
form of the workers sports move
ment. Throughout the world there
have sprung up workers sports or
CARNATIONS, particularly in Russia
and other countries Of Europe. This
movement now embraces millions of
workers, who have found therein an
adequate means of realizing their
desire for clean sports. In contrast
with the system of sports existing in
this country, which is part and par
eel of the capitalist system as a
whole, we have in certain countries
created a movement which has be-
come another strong link in the chain
Of labor solidarity.

THE year 1926 was a year of
L achievement and experience for the
working class women of the United
States. The working class women

March 8, 1927 approach the coming
year with more strength and expert

to rally the great masses of women
from the shops, factories and homes
to the general struggle of the work.
ers.
The International Women's Day of
1926 found great mass of women
in the historical textile strike of Pas
sale. 10000 workers were engaged
in the strike. Half Of them were
women. These women made history
in 1926 which will serve as proof
that the woman is a factor in the
economic and political life of the
country. The history of the Passaic
strike has convinced those engaged
in the labor movement who are sin
cerely carrying on struggle to free
the workers from industrial slavery,
that the labor movement must carry
on activities among the women and
men workers alike. Furthermore, it
has convinced them that the women
at home, the wives of the workers,
must not be forgotten. The workers.
wives must be made to join the army
of working men and women for the
common struggle.
The women textile workers who
came in their youth from foreign
countries to the Land of Golden OPP
portunities", have worked for many
years in the mills of Passaic produc-
ing wealth for the rich mill owners.
These women who came with hope
for a little easier life found that
they had to work long hours under
miserable conditions in order to exist.
The women textile workers in Pas
sale and elsewhere in the "Land Of
Golden Opportunities" had no hope
of freeing themselves from their
misery.
Getting married does not tighten
her burden. 1t adds greater hard
ship with the coming of a family.
The wives of the textile workers
work during the day at homeland
at night in the mills. The women tex
tile worker is old and broken early
in life.
The Passaic women textile strik-
ers during the year long strike
fought as hard as the men workers.
They marched side by side on the
picket lines with the best of the
union men.
The women textile workers in Pas
sale have grasped the idea of organ
ization as the only hope of lettering
their conditions. They fought should

without doors or windows and with
the roof partly off. A Negro lives
in it, and as we pass by in the eve

Adjoining this shack is another one

the windows. No conveniences Of
any kind. Water must be carried

a wood stove for cooking, which
makes the little house unbearable in

workers for the right to belong to a
union.
The year of 1927 finds the women
textile workers working with the
men workers in the building of q
powerful union at Passaic which will
spread to other parts of the textile
industry. The women textile work

the mills but with the working wo-

housewives.
The women textile worker is now

TNHE vetoing of the McNary-
! Haugen bill by President Coolidge
has caused real uproar among the
supporters Of this measure in the
West.
The cry is being made that Cool
idge and the others who oppose the
'aid'' to the farmer through this
measure will surely feel the wrath
of the farmer" in the not-too-dis-
tant future. 1t is said that the in
dustrial East will some day bow to
the agricultural West for the snub-
bing the former now gives the "far-
mer."
Not Dirt Farmers.
All this is sheer nonsense. The
agricultural West, as jabbered about
by the noisy supporters of the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill, does not mean the
farmer at all Certainly the 8,0O0,-
600 tenant and mortgaged farmers
and farm workers in the United
States are not taking any hand in

by congress. This class of farmers
the most important, by the way
is not even represented at Washing

the western working farmer, but the

facturers and a few rich farmers of

The first official announcement of
the opening Of the Citizens Military
Training Camps Campaign is made by
Major-Gen. McRea, corps command
er at Governors Island. This corps
area, comprising New York, New
Jersey and Delaware, has received
an allotment of 4,7OO, of which 2,175
are to come from New York City.
Letters are again post marked:
Lets go. Citizens Military Train
ing camps" Ads and announce
ments have made their temperance
in the subway trains and stations.
In large factories, department
stores, banks. post-offices, etc, at
ractive posters will soon. be seen dis
playing in soft, seductive pictures
and words the "lure" of the C.M.T.C.
Statements will be issued every day
by the War Department, the radio
has already been utilized for spread
ing propaganda for the attendance,
editorials will appear in the entire
capitalist press New York Times
editorial on C.M.T.C., Tuesday,
March u and every possible means
at the disposal of the capitalist class
will be used in order to fill up this
years camps. Full pay for young
workers will be offered in many fac
tories and many more inducements
will be made for the young workers
in order to get a bigger turnout of
young workers to this military insti-
tuition.
Started Under Wilson.
In 1916, when the "pacifist" Pres
ident Wilson was preparing the ma
ton for war, he declared: GAN the
European powers have been able to
mobilize millions as soon as the call
for war was issued. We in America
are unprepared for any emergency.
Our young men must receive a mini
mum military training. In that way
we will create the skeleton of our
future army"
The Plattsburg camps were estab-
lished in 1913 and continued until
1916. In 1920, the citizens military
training camp came to be estab-
lished. The C.M.T.C. was a revival
Of the military preparedness camps
and the first years attendance num-
bered 10000. This figure has grown
to $4,000, the goal set for 1927 The
desire of the War Department is to
have a yearly attendance of 100000,
and this is expressed in the circular
issued by C.M.T.C. headquarters.
With the growth of the C.M.T.C., its
real purpose became more and more
obscured. and many varied and fake
appeals have been utilized in order
to increase the yearly attendance.
Vacation at Hard Labor.
Gen. McRea states in his call:
"The citizens military training
camps afford splendid opportunity
for young man to take months
vacation at the expense of the gov
eminent. The main object of the
camps is to make the young men
who take the courses better citizens"
In Wednesdays news release this
worthy general is quoted as saying:
The greater part of the day is given
to athletics, with only 31a hours for
military work"
1t is exactly such propaganda that
has been spread extensively that has
resulted in an increased number of
young workers and students re-
spending to the call of the War De-
partment. 1t is on this basis that
the appeal to the young workers and
students is made.
