AMERICAN CHANGES
BEST FOR SPRINTS
Coach Names Four Stars for
Short Runs.

Eddie Farrell. Harvard track coach
and member of the 1924 American
Olympic coaching staff, believes that
Americas sprinters will provide the
United States with the best chances
for winning track events at this years
Olympics in Amsterdam. He bases
his opinion on comparative times
turned in during the last year or so
by the leading sprinters of the world.
OF the European stars, Anderson of
Norway; SjostroIn, Sweden; Bonner,
Switzerland; Huben and Kornig OF
Germany, and Larento of Spain have
all done better than an official 1913
seconds for 100 meters.
Americas best bets over the short
distance are Charlie Borah of south
ern California, Chef Bowman, A. c.
Locke and AL Miller" Farrell said.
MILLER, by the way, has done :O9.9
for the 100 and ought to be rear
threat"
Charlie Paddock, the veteran Cali
fornia speed merchant, has passed his
crest, Farrell thinks, and Will be nard
put to regain his form Of eight years
ago.
In the 200-meter event, FarrelPs
leading European choices for the
100-meter dash will be augmented by
Peterson of Sweden and Svenjach of
Poland, all of whom have been
clicked In % seconds or better. Bo-
rah and Locke are considered the
pick of the American sprinters for the
longer distance, with Alderman of
Michigan Aggies labeled as "some one
to watch"

Golfer Catches Worm
and Forfeits Stroke

A golf ball which caught an

kinds of complications in Eng

I'll. c. Shaw, out one morning

the putting green's, removed the
early worm from its pose on his

The act was referred to the

Indians in Lead

Cleveland has TWO infielders who
ranked high in the official fielding av.
erages of the American league. Lew
Fonseca topped the second basemen
with a mark of .973 in 96 games, one
point ahead of Stanley Harris. while
Joe Sewell led the regular shortstops
with an average of 1862 in 153 tits.
Sewell also had more assists and put
outs than any of his rivals. But that
was but natural, as he played more
games than any other player on the
team.

(By T. L.

Thousands of unorganized grocery
clerks are waiting for the call to or
ganize. This is the conclusion which
all workers connected with the Retail
Grocery and Dairy Clerks Union have
come to.
AS an example, there is the fruit
and vegetable workers. This section
of our trade is mercilessly exploited.
These clerks have no regular hours
of work, they are employed from ID
to 16 hours daily-and it should be
added nightly. They work six and
one-half days per week, an average
of 100 hours each week.
Hard Work.
Their work is not easy by any
raeans and in some instances is even
very injurious to health. They are
forced to handle and lift heavy boxes
of fruit, vegetables, heavy bags of
potatoes and other supplies. Some
of these weigh between $50 and 200
lbs.
Many of our clerks contract pneu-
monia and other diseases from work
ing in cold stores and damp cellars,
and from washing celery and other
vegetables in ice cold water.
The average wage is about $50 per
week! Some of the better paid re-
ceive little more; q few reach $40
per week but this sum is for 100
hour week or only Acc per hour!
This explains why the fruit clerk
has lent a willing ear to unionism.
Aggressive UniOnists.
These workers on their own initia-
tive last year organized a union. I'm
fortunately, however, they applied to
the United Hebrew Trades, an organ
ization disguised as a labor body, for
an organizer. A man by the name of
Morris Goldofsky was assigned to
them. In spite of the fact that the
union had 200 men when he came on
the job he succeeded in completely
wrecking the organization.
We have overcome this bad start.
The Retail Grocery and Dairy Clerks
Union is militant organization which
stands for fighting unionism, ANAL
gamation, in favor of labor party
and for other labor demands.
When we first issued the call for
an amalgamated union of all clerks
in the trade, the workers were little
distrustful because Of the United He
brew Trades betrayal of last year.
After only one month of experience
with our organization, it's rank and
file leadership and it's honest policies,
we could say in July 1927 that we
had won the confidence Of the work
ers in the trade.

Gets
$4,000 On
His Investment
(By a Worker Correspondent.)

by a Worker Co1Tespondent.)
My landlord invested $4,000 in the
house we live in. He told my mother
that since then he had taken out the
$4,000 and also cleared profit OF
1000 and would sell the house now
for $4,000 which means his money
back and $4,000 profit. We will get
a raise in rent in December according
to the new law which will enrich the
landlord for the reaches we get, not
to mention the mice.
This is the rotten system we live
under, simply working to enrich
others. And what have we in the end
but sickness, poverty and many of US
commit suicide to get rid of ourselves
and our misery.
In Mexico the Mexicans had rent
strike and did not pay cent to the
landlords for two years. The land
lords were afterwards begging for
help.

LABOR TAKERS IN
POLITICS REFUSE
help TO JOBLESS
do You Live in My
Ward" Nelson Says
(Bg q Worker CORRESPONDENT

(By a Worker Correspondent
CHICAGO (By MaiD Equally as
dangerous as the labor takers at the
head of the trade unions are the So
called representatives of labor in
political office. These representa-
tives of labor" continue the policy of
betraying the workers on the poll
teal field. No better example of
this role has occurred than the recent
experience of the Chicago Council of
Unemployed in their attempts to get
aid of the city administration thru
the fake Representative of labor" in
the City Council, Alderman Oscar
Nelson.
Betrayed Traction Men.
The Chicago Council of Unemployed
which was organized two weeks ago,
under the leadership Of the Workers
(Communist) Party and the Young
Workers (Communist) League, led
march to the City Hall to present to
Mayor Thompson a resolution calling
for work or relief to the unemployed.
Following this the committee went to
see Oscar Nelson to ask him to lead
the fight for the unemployed in the
city council where the resolution
would be taken up. The interview
with Nelson is an impressive lesson
to the workers as to the role of these
takers in political office who have
done nothing in the way of aiding the
workers in their struggles against in
functions, intimidations of militant
workers, etc.
Do You Live In My Ward?
When the Council of Unemployed
presented the resolution to Nelson
asking him to take up their struggle
in the City Council the first question
he asked was, "How many of you
are residents of my ward?" Out of
the small group of the executive
there was no one living in his ward
and so the only reply that Nelson
made was that he could not do any
thing for them since they did not live
in his ward. However, when the
Council presented a list of three hun
bred names of unemployed who had
signed up as members of the council,
of which many were members of his
ward, the reply he made was this,
"Well, see that you fight for the
Thompson bond proposals for the
building of subways and then we will
see what we can do for you"
The next question put to Nelson
showed his real character as fake
representative of labor. Are you
not a representative of labor" one

will fight for our conditions.
These demands are conservative.
They are merely the next step. But
at the same time they will effect al
most revolution in our trade.
Our workers have rich and power
full bosses to fight but we will win
if we can reach our trade and receive
the support of other workers whose
battle we are fighting. We have al
ready made a start. One of the larg-
est firms in the trade has been forced
to sign up with US. The firm of
Massin and Forman, controlling Z
large shops and markets and which
employs about 32 men, thought it
could discharge one of our members.
When faced with a strike of all its
workers, it took the firm only few
hours to make up it's mind to sign up
with us and reinstate our member.
Enthusiastic for Strike.
The workers in the trade are now
enthusiastic for the union and for the
general strike. We are confident the
movement will sweep the city.
We call upon the entire labor move
ment to support our fight We are
struggling against conditions which
all workers have left behind them.
They must help US in their own in
terest and in the interest of the sol
idarity of labor.
A general strike of all fruit and
vegetable workers.
Strike headquarters: Bronx Lyce-

few years ago this citv was blessed
with great assembling plant by
Henry Ford. At that time he agreed
to employ thousands of workmen all
wear round if he could have every
thing his own way in the line of
street-graGing, pavement, sewers and
sidewalks to be provided. This was
all accomplished The city sank itself
into a few million dollars worth of
debts and to cap the climax new
bridge was built across the Missis-
eipui River, adjoining the Ford plant
for the special convenience of the Ford
people.
Closed Down.
The nlant was built and run for
some time with a considerably small
CT crew of workers than was at first
promised Then it stopped and closed
its doors. 1t remained closed for one
year or since March 5, 1927.
A few days ago our daily prnss in
lone front page articles and display
headlines announced that the Ford
plant was again going to open up and
employ an army of workmen.
On the day set for the opening,
several thousand workmen showed up
ready to go to work, but compare
lively few got jobs.
Our servile press, however was on
the Job the next morning and carried
front page picture of thousands OF
enthusiastic SPECTATORS viewing the
reopening of Henry Ford's great as
sembling plant, spectators, you know,
not hungry workers.
