The 9th Annual Conference of the
British Labor Party, meeting at
Blackpool from the Bird to the 7th
October, 1927, marks further stage
in silent coalition with the bourgeoi-
sic. In such coalitions, the bourgeoisie
exact a price, and each year the price
rises. Two years ago, the definitive
expulsion of the Communists was
deemed enough. This year, the price
of MacDonaldism is the expulsion Of
the left wing from its counsels and
the expulsion of socialist items from
its programme.
The British Labor Party retains to-
day the quite unique composition with
which it grew up before the war. 1t
was federation Of trade unions,
socialist societies and local parties
and trades councils, linked together
for electoral purposes and with no
set programme.
Swinging To The Right.
The last nine years have seen a
steady attempt by the reformist lead
ers to transform this body into some
thing on the model of the British
bourgeois political parties and fitted
like them to- carry on the kings gov
eminent. This process began with
the institution in 1918 of an individu-
al members section Ia device to en-
able bourgeois and petty bourgeois
liberals to enter in) and the publica-
ton of Fabian-imperialist program:
followed in 1919 by the support
given to the robbers treaty of Versa
lilies. In 1920, the newly-formed
British Communist Party was refused
the right Of afsiliation. Ever since
then, each year has seen a further
stage in the twofold process of cast
ing out extreme" elements from the
organization and eliminating Eek
treme," or Crude, or wild" pro.
posals from its programme.
The experience of the labor gov
ernment fastened both the purge
process and it's opposing tendency; so
that when in 1925, against the most
obvious signs Of readiness for revolu-
t;onary struggle among the working
class and of a desire for unity in
order to carry through the struggle
the Labor Party chiefs pulled all their
wires, gathered all their henchmen and
carried through the Liverpool con-
ference the definitive expulsion of the
Communists, the effect was to crys-
tallize the leftward tendency into a
definite movement within the Labor
Party.
Role of the I. l.. p.
Since then, the history of the Labor
Party has been a struggle between
the organized Left Wing represent
ing the militant working class ele-
ments on the one hand, and on the
other hand, the Labor Party chiefs
Henderson, Thomas, Macdonald,
Snowden) and their associates in the
trade union bureaucracy.

The fight between left wing and

Many of the marchers carried red
flags and ore bore a placard with the
inscription: con to London"
Cook said that the marchers wanted
to bring the attention of the govern
ment to the general restitution among
the families of Welsh coal miners
which was caused, he said, by the clos
ing of many collieries and resulting
unemployment.

HERALD AGAIN TO RUN CONTEST
Classified Ad Poetry Prize Means
 Fun for All

Beginning Monday, May 23rd, the Herald Want Ad Poetry judge will award one dollar to the best poem of not over eight lines using as a subject any classified ad appearing in the Herald. Spring is in the air and poetry and Spring go hand in hand. and that's the reason for this contest at this time. The method of approach is fairly simple, all you have to do is to read over the Her. aid classified ads, select one which inspires you. and jot down your impressions. Blank verse is frowned upon. as is listening to poetry over the telephone. The winning poetry will be announced the next day to- gether with the winners name, and the neatest little compliment the Want ad poetry judge can think up. All poetry must be addressed to the Herald Want Ad Poetry Judge, New Britain Herald, City. If it isn't 1t might go astray and land in some other department and would not be appreciated. As a little hint. the judge will say that he likes poetry rather short, Tn fact four lines will go awfully nice. This contest is a catch-as-catch can affair. and Is free for all. Other contests gone be- fore has developed rivalry between different sections of the city and outlying towns. One fellow down Berlin way, self appointed critic Of the poetry. became SO enthusias- tic about the ability of one of his townsmen that he had dizzy spell and had to go and lie down for an hour before he could resume the argument with a "gent' from East Berlin. It's all in the spirit of fun, and the Judge hopes there will be TO such incident this time. Another hot fight. in the last contest. was between Belvidere and Plainvillc which had to be nipped in the bud by the Judge because he heard that the jbes on the streets of both sections were going off on a peev- ish angle.
 Here are the rules c6ndensed-

do it. Judging teams are formed and are said to raise the standard ot work
 The local foundation exhibits an. nually at the Eastern States expo- sition, where 1t always has one of the best displays and wins many prizes. Local boys and girls attend the camp in connection with the exposition and watch over their articles on view in the huge Junior Achievement hall. Murton Lyon's radio transmission to all parts of the United States was the feature of the exposition one year. Exhibits are also made each year at the Connecticut fair at Charter Oak park and at the Winter exposition in Hartford, while during the sum- mer tent is set up on one of the local playgrounds and samples of the work done are exhibited and sold. Work is now being prepared for this years fairs.
 The New Britain foundations is one of the most prominent Junior Achievement organizations in the country: it is one of the four foun- dations, having been incorporated in 1923 after growing out of a Chamber of Commerce project. It was a pioneer in developing its members into leaders. many of the groups now being led by boys and girls who formerly belonged to older clubs. Another distinction is that Mrs. II. C. Warmers See More club is the oldest established club still in existence in the entire coun- try; it is now six years old.
 Mr. Squire. the director of the foundation, is assisted by Mrs. Warner. They are directly respon- sible to the executive committee, which consists of President. F. M. Pratt, II. c. Jackson, Treasurer. J. C. Loomis, Secretary. ]. E. O'Brien, George P. Spear and Morris D. Sake. R. C. Vance and Mrs. Howard Parsons are vice-presidents. There is also board of control.

b|NG MILLER IS
 SENSATION AT BAT.
St. Louis Brown Star Leaps
 From Middle to Head Of List

Chicago. May o1 P)-The batting sensation of the week in the major leagues is "Bing" Miller of the St. Louis Browns, who lcaped from the middle Of the pack clear to the top of the column. His batting average moved from 1926 to .446. He whaled the ball safely nineteen times in the last seven gamest, five times for two bases and three times for trip around the circuitt.
 Al Simmons. who joined Ty Cobb in the outer darkeness at the com- mand of President Ban Johnson, has joined the Georgia Peach now in the first ten hitters, both clubbing .4l7 in averages compiled today includ- ing games of Wednesday. Miller and | Smons are the only newcomers in this weeks list of leaders. the other top notchers doing a little better than holding their own.
 George Sisler is getting ready to make his debut in the select com pany. advancing this week from .345 10 .SG2, which puts him just below the first ten.
 Two of the, Yankee moundsmen and two White Sox fingers are tied : this week five victories apiece. but Herb Pennock is the hest of tho four with no defeats charged against him. l Waite Hoyt mas been beaten once and Thomas and Lyons of the SoN twice each. Thomas is now tied with lefty Grove of the Athletics in total , innings pitched. but Grove is still far in the lead in whiting the bat ters. with a string of a7.
 Babe Ruth failed 10 improve his batting percentage this week and still is lowering around .Sc1. but ir games up to Wednesday he led tho majors in home runs with nine.
 Al Simmons. besides his improved hitting, has speeded up on the paths and is tied with Goose Goslin of Washington in stolen bases with seven.

jam its way through the doors tC Which team won is a question but some Of the incidents in it are worth rccounting.
 There was the time when the teams were changing goals when Lcghorn, goal tender on one and Crean. goal tender on the other. were to meet in the center Of the floor to shake hand. Both Of them had pillows as pads all over their body and so stuffed were they that they could hardly walk, much less skate.
 As the two walking practically on their ankles, approached each other, they appeared like two novice tight rope walkers they were doing so much balancing. As they neared the center where the solemn cere- mony of hand shaking was to take place. their mates helped them to get set on their rollers.
 As they did. two groups formed and getting behind each, waited un- til each just reached out to grasp the hand of the other. At given signal. there was q grand push and both men went whiring down the floor towards the opposite goal. Both were like windmills as their speed increased. Arms were wav- ing. feet were not behaving and al most at the same second both lost their balance and shot into the net ting in the goals, sure counters in a game of fun.
 It is scaid that it took at least 20 minutes for the laughing mem bers Of the lodge 10 remove I.eghorn from the tangled webs in the net while the other luckless goal tender IS said 10 have landed on the only spot where he failed to have a pad.
 After a time, the game progessed and q more ludicrous spectacle nev- CT before or since was seen. The next day. Main street was filled with limping forms and wry smiles as the warriors of the night before met and exchanged experiences. Need less to say, that began and ended the playing of teams from the lodge of FIlls.
 Other fraternity teams played, such as Foresters vs. the Knights Of St. Patrick and many other clubs were formed until polo reached the heights of popularity to which the new promoters hope to bring it in the years to come.
 If the plans of the promoters in this city are successful. some of these amateur leagues will be reviv- ed and from present indications. roller hockey, known as roller polo in years gone by, will be just as popular in its return to this city as it was when it was frs. introduced.

PLAYING POLITICS
 IN CITY AFFAIRS
Practice, in Last Analysis, Is
 Art Of Bargaining

Such frequent Cse is made of the reference 10 politics and the play ing thereof in administering the affairs of municipalities that the general public for years has been possessed of the belief that it is q terrible practice. and one which can lead only to disgrace for those who indulge and work to the public embarrassment of their families. A politician, according to the popular belief, is one who is ever grasping at easy money but always in such q way as 10 get it without being seen, and it matters not whether he is active socially or prominent in activities other than those savoring of politics. he must be constantly under suspicion of timing every move and planning every utterance to give them q rebound that will be productive of an increase in the power that is his.
 As a matter of fact. much of tho political manouvering done in New Britain is directed by men who shrink from the characterization of politician, not that they share the feeling that 10 be placed in that category is disgraceful, but rather because they do not consider that Il little bargaining in matters per- taining to the government consti- tutes the welding of the political weapon. According to. men with long periods of acquaintanceship with public affairs. it is q fact that in many instances those who are loudest in their in.sistence that they are not politicians actually arc art of playing politics, the eXplana- ton of this seeming contradiction being that movements they see fit to direct are not political in their opinion but the very same acts on the part of others are filled with politics 10 the maximum capacity.
 Politics Art of Bargaining
 Politics, according to Now Britain mon who have been in the game" for sufficient periods of time to qualify as experts. is nothing more or less than the art Of bargaining. For example. they point out. when appointments are about to be made 10 the police or fire departments and there are probably twice as many candidates as positions, thc appointing power is obliged to play politics. whether if wishes 10 do so or not. The political strain runs through tho administration of any city. state or nation, and if asserts itself fin the form Of patronage. whether large or small. Strange as

Men of Science Learn
Something From Bats

Everybody knows that there are five
senses-human senses. But from the
bat family we have learned to be eau
tious how we dogmatize about senses
and the sense organs, says Mentor
Magazine
This deniZen Of the night, interest
ing and unique in many other ways,
needs eyes ve.y little to get about.
Doubtless before many centuries he
will lose them; the need for seeing
darting insects several feet away in
the dusk has preserved to bats their
eyesight so far. But for night flying,
recent tests have demonstrated that
sight is unnecessary. Blindfolded bats,
so kept for year, transported to
strange rooms, flew about with amaz-
ing accuracy. They were made to fly
between silk threads and when these
threads were placed still nearer to.
gether, they contracted their wings in
order to pass them without touching.
Among branches they had no difficulty,
and they hung themselves up to sleep
just as if nothing unusual had hap
pened to them. In the delicate hairs
on the membrane of the wing the
nervous arrangement lies. Curiously
enough, the touch sensitiveness de.
veloped there is mechanically not I'M
like the action of the retina of the eye.
