June | DATE OF
CROUCH RELEASE
FROM ALCATRAz
Start Tour Immediately
For init. Labor Defense

CHICAGO, May 27.-Paul Crouch,
the rebel soldier who was imprisoned
at Alcatraz prison for his revolution
airy activities in organizing soldiers
Of the United States stationed at
Hawaii, is due TO be released on June
1, after having served his three years
sentence, it was announced by Inter
national Labor Defense today.
Open Organization
The case of Crouch, who, together
with his colleague, Walter Trumbull,
were the leaders of the Hawaiian
Communist League composed Of U. S.
soldiers, aroused interest throughout
the country, it being one of the most
sensational cases on record in the
United States, unique in the fact that
an open Communist organization had
for the first time been formed in
American military forces for the pur-
pose of obtaining the allegiance Of
the soldiers to the labor movement
and the working class.
Crouch, Trumbull, and a number of
other members of the League were
arrested on the information of a spy
in the organization. They were
carged with the violation of a Ha-
waiian law prohibiting the formation
of such organizations if they were
illegal. The defendants, whose case
was taken over by International Lab
or Defense through its attorney there,
proved conclusively that the organi-
zation was not an illegal one, but
had been functioning openly all the
time, holding open meetings and even
having its stationery printed at the
army's printing plant.
Savage Sentence
The two soldiers, who had never
made secret of their position and
their sympathy for the bitterly ex-
plotted Hawaiian workers and peas
ants, had appealed to the American
soldiers to have fraternal relations
with the latter. The military court
decreed that they should serve terms
respectively of 40 and 26 years in
prison. This savage sentence was re-
duced only after national protest
organized by International Labor De-
tense so that Crouch was given three
years and Trumbull one year of i'm
prisonment.
Upon TrUmbull's release a nation
wide tour which attracted widespread
interest was organized by the 1. L. D.
Thousands flocked to hear the story
of the case told by the first of the
rebel soldiers to be freed. The /. L. d.
is now arranging for a similar tour
for Paul Crouch, the leader of the
Hawaiian Communist League, and it
is expected that an even greater in
terest win be expressed by workers
everywhere in the meetings that are
being arranged.
Dates of Tour
Tentative dates in the schedule of
the Crouch tour are as follows:
Portland, Oregon, June 81; Astoria,
Oregon, June %; Tacoma, Wash,
June 80; Seattle, Wash, July /; Mt
Vernon, Wash, July 2; Spokane,
Wash, July 4; Great Falls, Mont,
July 6; Plentywood, Mont, July s.
Other sections of the I. L. d. are
urged to send in their requests for
dates Immediately so that all arrange
ments may be completed Immediately
and in the best organized manner.
Picnics, indoor mass meetings and
banquets are among the methods of
giving a rousing welcome to Crouch
that have been suggested.

In requesting the court for adj

The court waved Brodsky brusquely

said, that mere editorship of a pub

A Concert by the Sea

Summer is coming. 1t is becoming
warmer. Imagine what will happen
when the actual hot summer days ar
rive. Every worker will wish to leave
his factory for few hours for a
breath of fresh air. The bourgeoisie
has long since left the hot city. Only
the vast mass of workers cannot
spend the summer in the country.
They are condemned to sweat in the
factories broken at intervals by trip
to the beach where they are crowded
even when in the water, but for one
evening at least where one is assured
of a good time. The Joint Defense
& Relief Committee has arranged a
monster concert to be held in the
Coney Island Stadium for July 10th.
Here the workers will be assured Of
splendid entertainment and every
body is cordially invited.

The workers of Levine Costume

Of Workmen's Circle Branch 5S2 have
carried on a strong campaign against

tense, the progressive members Of the
branch collected S11.00 for the Joint

branch had the honor Of delivering
the money to the office.

Major League
Comment

Saturday douole-headers were
scvheduled at three National League
parks today, as the travelling clubs
moved to new locations after finish
ing up their series Friday.
Boston went to Chicago after
dropping six straight games to the
Pirates and giving the latter lead
in the senior circuit which will be
hard to erase before the end Of the
season. Brooklyn went to Pitts
burgh, New York to Cincinnati and
Philadelphia to st. Louis.
The Pirates took the final game
from the Braves by knocking out
Wertz in one and one-third innings
and scoring four runs. Morrison
held them scorelesS the rest of the
game. Lee Meadows allowed Bos-
ton eight hits. The score was 4 to
8. 1t was the Corsairs' ninth
straight victory and Boston's thir-
tenth consecutive defeat.
A full game hold on second place
was established by the Giants by
taking the odd game OF their series
with st. Louis, 6 to 3. Burleigh
Grimes kept the eight Cardinal hits
sufficiently scattered to do the trick.
LindStrom hit a horne run for the
Giants. 1t was Grimes eighth
straight win.
Brooklyn again defeated the Cubs
in spite of the fact they were badly
outhit. Charley Root allowed six
hits in seven innings and Art Nehf
kept the Dodgers from hitting the
rest of the game. The final result
was Brooklyn, A; Chicago. 3.
Babe Ruth hit his fifty-third home
run ndthe Yanks won their Tooth
game of the season as the White
Sox bowed, to 2. Blankenship of
the Sox was scored on in four of the
six innings he pitched. Moore al
lowed the Sox seven hits.
Johnson's pitching kept the
Browns out Of the running in their
game with the Athletics while the
latter were collecting fourteen hits
off Wingard for 6-to-3 victory.
Three Philadelphia double plays
made up for Johnsoa's wildness in
allowing six bases on balls.
The Tigers won a close battle with
the Red Sox by 4to-3 margin.
Both teams scored two in the first,
the Tigers got one in the fourth and
each scored once in the ninth. Col
Inns weakened in the ninth and
Holloway was sent in to save the
game.

Champs Injured Optic Be.

With a Stigmatism.
JACK CONTINUES DRILL
Dempsey Tips Scale at
Fighting Weight.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Gene Tun-
ney today nursed an infiamed eye
which has become slightly affected
with astigmatism as result of jolts
it has received from the champions
sparring partners.
But Gene, his manager and every
member of the Tunney encourage
minimized the possibility that the
injured optic would hamper him in
his fight with Jack Dempsey, Sept
%.
Chuck Virgins of indianapolis hit
that eye ten days ago, and Jackie
Williams, Chicago light heavyweight
got his thumb On the eye in Fri
days workout.
Not Worried
Tunney was to do no boxing to-
day, his program having suddenly
been changed by Billy Gibson, his
manager.
Billy fastened to explain it wasn't
the champions eye that caused the
lay-off, and said no specialist would
be called to examine the organ.
Tunney told the United Press he
had suffered a slight astigmatism
which, in turn, had ever so slightly
affected his timing and distance,
but emphasized the difference was
not enough to give him even the
least worry.
The champion fought two rounds
Friday with his eye bloodshot and
partly closed. He had entered the
ring with the wound heavily tapped,
but Williams finger accidentally
opened the cut in a clinch.
With the weather cooler. close to
a thousand persons, including many
women, saw Tunaey go right
through to the end Of his program,
despite the injury.
Under Arc Lights
Jack Dempsey continued his
training boxing without anything
to hamper him. He will work out
tonight under the brilliant lights
at his training camp. Another
WORKOUT sunday night PROBABLY
will end his training.
Weighing 1877 pounds-at which
weight he expects to enter the ring
the challenger said he was in per-
feet shape.
This idea Of working under
lights such as well have to fight
under in the real ring is a great
one" he said, and Leo P. Flynn,
his manager, who gave birth to the
idea, agreed.
Jack boxed several rounds Friday
night with Roy Williams, Allentown
Joe Cans and Dave shade, then
tackled the light and heavy bags.
He did not extend himself, feeling
he already is fit for the title test.
