1000 TRUCKME:N
WIN STRIKE; Get T
S. weekly RAISE
Agreement is Ratified
BY Employers

This morning all Of the 1000
truckmen whose militancy won them
SIS week raise, will be back at
work.
Baked in their efforts to crush the
strike by the importation Of profess
sional strikebreakers, the employers,
led by the powerful United States
Trucking Company finally announced
it's surrender to the union early Sat
urday morning.
Agreement Ratified.
The victory for the workers means
an increase of $5 making their wages
$45 a week. The Merchant Truck
mems Bureau, the bosses associa-
ton, has already ratified the agree
ment with the man.
The bosses, thru their organization,
had announced that they had hired
the notorious jim Waddell, the pro-
fessional recruiter of strikebreakers.
In addition they had set aside fund
of $4,000 in an effort to smash the
strike.
Enroll New Members.
The striking workers met this
threat with an organization drive
which hastened the final settlement.
Previous to the actual ending of the
strike 200 firms had already settled
with the union on the latter's terms
on Friday. The enrolment of large
numbers of old employees of large
firms into the ranks of the union is
declared to be one of the reasons for
the speedy victory Of the workers.
In addition to the demand for the
SIS pay increase, the workers also
asked for an eight-hour day instead
of nine. They agreed to waive the
latter demand for the time being.
Joseph j. Ryan, president OF the
Central Trades and Labor Council
was said to have arranged the con-
| ference which announced the termina-
tion of the strike.

In his helpless, hysterical protest
against the victory of the French
working class, Dorey declares:
"The mayor of Cherbourg told us
it was his wish, which was also ours,
to receive the American Legion at
the City Hall. Last week in meet
ing at the Subprefecture, the Sub
prefect told US he had not sufficient
men at his disposal to prevent unfor-
tunate manifestations. AS result
we must abandon marching across
the city with the legion and limit our
selves to welcoming them at the pier.
after reflection, and greatly dis
turbed at the announcement OF the
local officials, the committee decided
an appeal to you. We were told last
Thursday that we could proceed with
our plans. Now we learn officially
that the Securite Generate has for
bidden the parade"
In the meantime American fascists
who have already arrived stink about

guarded by police. A batch of them
are leaving for Italy, where they
will be greeted by their brotherly
black shirts.
A Fascist Holiday.
Sixteen hundred fascists romped
on the decks of the Leviathan Satur-
day as the giant ship slipped out Of
the harbor on its way to Cherbourg
Before the Leviathan sailed, Vice
President Dawes walked the decks of
the ship, violating all its regulations
by walking into the boiler room, with
his pipe, made famous by the capi-
talist press, going at full blast.
The Leyiathan was the last o. the
twenty-six ships sailing for France
with herds of fascists. Nineteen
thousand legionnaires and their
families are estimated to have left
for France.

Barbusse Visits U.S.S.R.
To Present Workers OF
World With Real Facts

Especial to the Daily Worker).
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Sept. II.
"A centralized attack against the
Soviet Union is noticeable in
France, Henri Barbusse, interna-
tionally known French novelist de-
clared in an interview today.
The reformists in France, he de-
clared, like the reformists thruout
the world are siding with the
forces Of reaction. This was espe-
cially noticeable during the demon
strations to protest against the
murder of Sacco and Vanzetti, he
declared.
Barbusse said that he intends
to stay in5 the u S. s. R. long
enough to get acquainted with the
actual situation in order to pre-
sent western European workers
with a true picture of the U. S
S. R.
Barbusse will stay in Moscow
for three weeks and will then leave
for Transcaucasia.

END SlGMANISM,
('I- 'I-0AKMAKERSA At
Meeting Decide
$4,000 Workers Attend
Garden" Rally

Fifteen thousand cloak and dress
makers assembling at the call of the
New York Joint Board held a meet
ing in Madison Square Garden Satur-
day afternoon. After listening to
speeches by several of the leading
progressive leaders in the needle
trades, the assembled workers un-
amiously went on record for starting
new offensive against the Sigman
clique in the union. -
The resolution adopted calls for a
general election, under the supervision
of an impartial committee, the restor-
ing of union conditions in the shops
and referendum vote on the ques-
ton of proportional representation.
MiIeaf Is Greeted.
Among the high lights of the meet
ing was the welcome given to Oscar
Mileaf, militant needle trades worker,
just released from Jail after serving
six months. He was framed up by
a right wing gangster.
Cloak and Dress1nakers Joint Board
said that "Sigman called the bosses
to meet in a conference last week so
they could help him organize the in
dustry. Sigman says the bosses will
build the union. That is as logical
as if Mayor Walker would call a con-
ference of all the crooks in New
York and tell them to abolish crime.
Can you visualize them saying 'yesn
For Piece Work.
"Sigman has also made statement
to the effect that the next meeting
of the general executive board will
take action to change the method of
work. There are only two kinds OF
work-piece-work and week-work. AT
the present week-work is recognized,
so Sigman can mean nothing else ex-
cept that he intends to force piece
work upon the workers with the help
OF the general executive board"
Ben Gold, manager. Of the Furriers
Joint Board, told the assembled work
ers of the significance Of the meet
ing. "The combined Forward Woll-
Underworld-police alliance" continued
Gold, has not destroyed the union.
The cloak and dressmakers continue
to support The left wing. They do
not want peace that will be burden
on the cloak and dressmakers. Ten
months ago Sigman said he would
have the workers on their knees, but
today the workers are just as deter
mined to win as in the very beginning
of the struggle.
Registration Is Fake.
Charles B. Zimmerman, who pre-
sided said that Sigman's registration
is fake. that the regis
tered shops have worse working con
dtions than the open shops. "Sig-
mans campaign is q fake" asserted
"he cannot fool the
workers with it. For 10 months Sig
man has been trying to register the
but has failed. He is now
sending sluggers to union shops. He

Rakovsky Recall Seen
as First Move

PARIS, Sept. Il. - France has
taken another step towards breaking
off diplomatic relations with the Sow
let Union when the council of min
listers voted to ask that Christian Ra-
kovsky, ambassador be recalled.
Using a proclamation signed by
Rakovsky as an excuse, the French
government might go to the extreme
against the Workers Republic.
An official announcement of the re-
quest that Rakovsky should be re-
called has not been made public as
yet. That is on account of the abb
sence of Foreign Minister BRAND.

WHY WE PLAY
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON. PHI. ID.

1t is just as natural to play as 1t
is to eat. The young Of all animals
play. Ii seems to be natures way OF
preparing the individual for life. This
observation has led some people to ad-
vance the theory that play is a prep
aration for life. and that the type of
play is determined by the kind of life
the animal or child will be called upon
to live as an adult. Thus. the play
of the kitten consists in the move
ments that will develop the art of
catching mice and other prey.
Another reason for play is surplus
energy. BY virtue of the fact that
we eat more food than we need we
store up a lot Of extra energy that
has TO have an outlet. A horse that
has been in the stable for several days
without exercise is likely to be rather
frisky.
Whatever theory we may hold OF
nlav we all realize it's force in life.
The first thing we note is that while
play is fully as strenuous as work we
feel differently toward it. We ENJOY
plav for it's own sake. Work may or
NAV not be enjoyable. 1t is usually
a means to some end. the end of ac-
complishing something, of getting
something in return for 1t.
Play is wholesome and invigorating
because it affords opportunity for the
free exercise of those inherited in.

pressed by the demands of sOcialiZed
life. We are beginning to see the
usefulness of play as a safety valve

The man referred to, who followed on

statement and claimed that the
friendship was one of only two weeks
before the alleged crime.
One of them was asked by the as
sistant district attorney why he came
to Washington. The witness blandly
replied that he was in search of a
job

asked

well. if you lived in New York
why didn't you search for a Job
there?" was the next question.
This seemed to stump the witness,
who rubbed his chin, knitted his brow
and thought the matter over. Finally
he said; THE truth is. can't stand
the climate in New York. l suffer

Then he was asked Where else did
you apply?"
