Sox Bring Game Home
From the Rose City

On foreign soil the B-H Silk Sox
won last Saturday afternoon from the
Riverviews. Down in the Rose City
the Riyerviews are considered cutie
some baseball aggregation. Up here
in Putnam the SILK Sox are considered
among the finest. II was in Norwich
by the Thames that the Sox demon
strated 60 the Riverviews and their
rooters that an inland city can pro-
duce a baseball team of major caliber.
just to prove il the Sox brought the
game north by score Of TO 9. The
Putnam team is showing an inelina-
tion to develop some better than 500
per cent batters. Sixteen hits in the
last game, some Of them for more
than a single sack, means many games
won this season II IL is kept up.

BARGE WORKERS
FACE EVICTION

The result of a policy of avoiding
strike action is seen in the announce
ment by the New York Boat Owners
Association that over 1000 barge
workers are to be let. out of employ
ment. The wages of the others, it is
limited, will be reduced at the proper
moment in order to offset decrease
of business"
Recently the workers on barges
were on the point of striking for bet
ter conditions. At the time it was
stated that the men had no opportunity
of winning inasmuch as they lived or
the boats with their families and
would be dispossessed should they &c
out on strike. 1t was also argued by
their leaders that a no-strike policy
would bring consideration" from
the bosses.
Announcement was made Saturday
by Ernest Stavey, secretary of the
New York Boat Owners Association
that the "owners would act separately
in reducing their staffs." This will
mean that the workers and their fam
lilies will be evicted from their homes
The workers have no opportunity Of
sending their children to schools, in
sufficient food and improper living
conditions are the rule. The average
pay is about $40 per month. Many
receive about $50.

the Young Workers (Communist)
League will also be demonstration
against American intervention in
Nicaragua, according to an announce
ment yesterday by John Williamson,
district organizer of the league.
"The war department is drilling
thousands of young workers and stu
dents in the citizens military train
ing camps, the boy scouts and pre-
pairing them to serve as cannon fod-
der in the coming war;" said William
son.
"a billion dollars is now being
spent to build stronger navy and
air fleet, for new and more destruc-
tive engines of war. The United
States together with other imperiaiist
powers are preparing for a new COM
bined attack against the workers re-
public of Russia and revolutionary
China. The American workers must
be aware of this danger and link this
up with the commemoration of the
death of the fighter against world i'm
perialism of decade ago-Karl Lieb-
knecht."

peasant handiwork exhibited, is it's
application of the objects of daily life.
The designs carved, sewed or painted
on the ornaments, pottery, lacquered
boxes and gayly painted toys are very
often based on leaves, grass or wheat
and frequently combined with con-
ventionalized figures of people, ami
mails and birds.

Williams To Speak.
The white dishes found in the pot
terry establishment, some dated as far
back as 1897 were recolored with pic
lures of the new life.
Albert Rhys Williams, who spent
the past five years travelling and liv-
ing among the peasants of the Soviet
Union today spoke on peasant life
last night. Various programs of mu-
sic and discussion have been arranged
for each day OF the exposition. Ad-
mission is free to the public.

rights of humanity" He likewise re-
fers to recently published pamphlet
of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs. The most convincing" ex-
cerpt Vol finds in this pamphlet
quotes William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor, to
the effect that Communism is a
danger"
Bank Attitude Cited.
VOLTS letter deplores also the fact
that the Second largest bank in the
United States" joins in the advocacy
of the recognition of the Soviet Union
by the United States government, a
fact which he calls, "discouraging to
u.s." This fact, he continues, causes
many honest labor men to feel that
they would like to see the Reds get
control of our country long enough
to put those particular bankers at
work cleaning the streets"
The letter ends with an emotional
appeal to business men to reconsider
their attitude toward relations with
the Soviet Union. .
Editorial Reprinted.
To VOLTS present letter is attached
a reprint of an editorial in The
DAILY WORKER for Jan. 10. The
editorial charges that Woll in his
campaign against the Communist
menace" in the United States is di-
verting attention from the suffering
of 100000 men, women and children
in the coal fields. .--4-
In its letter Jan. 20 the American
Russian Chamber of Commerce stated
that trade with Russia, contrary to
the fear of Woll, would not endanger
American institutions. The cham
ber's letter also pointed out that even
the u. S. Department of Commerce
did not share those fears inasmuch
as it gives out trade information and
other data to American business men
about the Soviet Union. 1t further
stressed the point that trade. with
Russia was growing in spite of the
fact that political recognition had not
yet been accorded by the American
government.
