about plans for the 1923 schedule in
which local, district, department, reg

be held to determine which team will
compete in the Junior Worlds Series
for the national championship.
This is the Legion activity for
which Commissioner Lands and other
league managers voted $4,000 to
foster. Last year Minnesota had ITS
Junior Legion Baseball teams and
this year over 200 are contemplated
The $4,000 is primarily intended TO
transport state champions to the reg
ional contests, and regional champions
to the sectional tournaments; the
two winners to have their expenses
paid to the Junior Worlds Series.
After team has become state cham

sumed by the Legion national athletic

AS the elimination of seven years
fight, Senator Norris, OF Nebraska,
succeeded in putting through his
resolution for Government operation
of Muscle Shoals. The Senate. on
March 18th, by vote OF 4S to 70,
passed the resolution s. j. Res. 40,
which provides for completion by the
Government of Dam No. 2, and the
steam plant at Nitrate Plant No. 2

On March II, the radio bill, to ex-
tend the life of the radio commission
one year, passed the House. having
previously passed the Senate. The
bill resulted in prolonged debate, and
was finally amended as follows: 1.-The
licensing authority shall make an
equal ALLEGATION to each OF the five
zones established in section z OF this
act of broadcasting licenses, OF wave
lengths, and of station power; and
within each zone shall make fair
and equitable ALLEGATION among the
different states, including the Dist
riot of Columbia and the Territories
and possessions thereof, in proportion
to population" The effect OF this
amendment would be to prevent the
large eastern stations from heterodyn-
ing, or drowning out, the smaller
western stations, which have lower
powered broadcasting equipment.
The Subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce,
which visited the coal fields last
month issued report March 10th on

After criticizing the activities OF the
coal and iron polire and deputy
sheriffs employed by the mining
companies no operating on an open
shop basis, the Subcommittee states:
Your Committee was impressed with
the courage and determination OF the

Police last night broke up an
open air meeting of the Workers
Community Party, in Passaic, N.
]. held for the purpose of furthing
the election campaign of the party,
and arrested N. Katz, chairman,
after having brutally pushed him
off the stand, Four hundred work

hear the speakers, were dispersed
when squad of police arrived on
the scene.
Katz was taken to the police sta
ton, charged with disorderly con-
duct, and released after a few
minutes. He was ordered to appeal
in Court this morning.
This was the first time that the
police had broken up a meeting in
Passaic for long time. Up till
four weeks ago, meetings had not
been held in Passaic, police CEN

workers ever since the great strike

were not disturbed, but the police

PLUMBER BOSSES

Must Resume Fight to

(By a Worker Correspondent
The officials of the United Asso-
citation of Plumbers, Steamfitters
and Gasfitters have been lodging
all questions concerning the recog-
milton of the American Association
of Plumbers Helpers.
The officials of the Plumbers Lo-
cal 1853, of Manhattan and the
Bronx, came out more openly, late
ly, against the plumbers helpers.
helpers by saying, eve will do
Their last statement is to scare the
away with the helpers completely
from the, trade" Of course, we all
know that such words are pure
1t is only thrown at us
in order to prevent us from organ
izing the plumbers helpers into
union. Local 463 is supposed to be
the mouthpiece of the 300 plumbers
locals all over the country.
Such statement before the ma
tional convention of the United AS
ISOLATION clearly indicates that the
officials of Local 463 will fight
against any attempt to admit the
helpers into the United Association.
This attitude towards the helpers
clearly shows that they are not
working in the interests of the
plumbers but in the interests Of tbe
master plumbers association. the
members of which are the sole gain
ers of such a policy. The rank and
file plumbers, themselves, know our
reasons for fighting for recognition
from the United Association. How
ever, it has never been brought TO
light.
We must again resume all efforts
to combat pessimism in our ranks
Only through the American Asso-
citation of Plumbers HELPERS can
our aim be achieved. N
