Struggle to Bosses

(Wireless to the Daily Worker
WARSAW, Poland, Oct. 2S.-The
Polish social-democrats today de-
clared the LODI strike liquidated.
Without informing the workers
they convened a strike committee.
Since the strike is general strike,
the committee includes representa-
tives of all striking trade unions
with the result that the left wing
is now in the minority.
Left Wing Outnunlbered.
Twenty-Five members of the COM
mittee voted to call off the strike.
Twelve opposed the action.
The workers were taken entirely
by surprise.
The social democrats and the em-
ployers had negotiated the agree
ment behind the backs of the work
ers and the new collective agreement
now imposed by the employers was
known to the socialists beforehand.
The new conditions include five
per cent raise for most of the work
ers, with ten to twenty per cent for
those tending four machines. The
workers delegates will be tolerated
The result is no economic gain
for the workers since the manufac-
turers are exploiting their advan-
tageous position and the Widzev
Mills have already refused the five
per cent raise. They have imposed
an eleven per cent cut instead.
The Scheibler Mills has intro
duced a system of penalties.

Men Perk Up
for SOoners
Interest Grows in Crimson
Clash With Oklahoma
Warriors Saturday.

BV Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. A.
The coming Of the Oklahoma Soon
ers to battle the Crimson Saturday
is stirring up some real excitement
among Indiana grid followers and
motor caravans are expected to
bring many pigskin devotees to the
contest.
Teams wearing Sooner colors take
great delight in becoming keyed up
for intersectional battles and Head
Coach Page of the Scrappin' Hoo
siers is taking no chances.
Indiana's two victories last Satur-
day in the opening games against
State Normal and Wabash here were
costly.
Hugh Shanahan, one of the best
sophomore line prospects, received
an injured leg in the State Normal
Varsity B game, An X-ray showed
a small bone had been cracked,
which will keep the Goshen player
out indefinitely. Page had counted
Shanahan among his strongest for
wards.
Paul Balay, playing his second
year on the Crimson, went out Of
the Wabash-Indiana game on the
first play with an injured leg. Balay
was changed from fullback to first
string quarterback.
"Pooch" Harrell, veteran Crimson
star, took over the signal barking
post when Balay was injured and
did an exceptional job.
Charles Brubaker, FIT. Wayne, who
piloted the B team against State
Normal, also is due to get try at
the job. Springer, also of FIT.
Wayne, is another likely candidate.
