by subjecting their pocketbooks to
severe punishment.
Usually though, the initial cost has
been found to be we'll worth while.
In 1928, Mack paid more than $780,
900 for Robert Moses Grove, who
f'res the fastest left-hand ball in cap

has regretted it.
In addition to Grove, the honor

Incidentally Earnshaw joins quite

Philadelphia, not only Grove and
Rommel but Sammy Hale and Joe

Earnshaw has had tough time
getting started in the big leagues.
First victory did not come until he
had made six false starts. But when
he finally crashed through 1t was
with a vengeance. The Red Sox got
only three scattered singles off the

that Earnshaw granted six bases on
balls he never was in danger. Five

No other American league games
were scheduled and rain washed out

the DAYS card.

Amalgamated Cutters
Form Progressive Club

An organization called "The Equity
Clothing Cutters League" has just
been formed by the progressive mem
bers of the Cutters Local of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union. A circular has just been is
sued to the members of their union,
declaring their intention of working
for the improvement of conditions in
the union and the industry.
The platform of this organization
is also set forth in the leaflet. In adj
dition to other aims, the most impor-
tant ones are the abolition of the tenn
porary and permanent jobs; system
by which the employers try to de
stroy the solidarity of the workers,
and the reestahlishment of equal divi-
sion of work, characterization of the
union, and the cessation of favoritism
by the union officials in the matter
of giving jobs to the unemployed.
Registration of all unemployed is de-
manded, with the distribution of jobs
in numerical order.
Another plank in their platform is
the organization of campaign to
procure the 40-hour week in the mems
clothing industry.

Thursday, Immediately after work.
The meeting is called by the progress
sive members of the Cap and Millin-
cry Workers Union, at the Progress
sive Labor Center, 103 E. 14th st.
Considerable resentment has been
shown by the capmakers who are
largely unemployed at this period
against their union officials. The rea-
son for this is the fact that the I'M
employment benefit previously re-
ceived by the unemployed workers
has suddenly stopped.

TAMMANY BLUFFS
ON |. R. 7. STEAL
Opposition Against Fare
Increase Urged
By ROBERT MITCHELL.

Threats OF action in the state
courts, city operation of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit lines, injunc-
ton proceedings, secret conferences,
hints of definite and certain action
these and many other indirect prom
ises by the officials in the city hall,
Mayor Walker in particular, have
filled the air during the past few days
in an obvious effort to convince the
'peepul" that great efforts are being
undertaken by the city fathers to
save the fast fading five cent fare.
No Secret
4 Those in son the know understand
that precisely nothing is being con-
templated by tb Tammany officials.
At the Tammat 4 wigwam on E. 18th
St., it is openly stated between friends
that the "sardines" who ride the sub
ways may continue to believe the fic-
lion that Tammany is protecting their
interests.
AS an instance Assemblyman Louis
A. Cuvillier, one of the chief hench-
men of the New York democratic
machine yesterday introduced bill in
The Albany legislature providing that
a five cent fare must remain on the
transit lines of the city. No one thus
far has taken this move or any of it's
predecessors seriously.
/. r. t. Move Advances.
In the meantime the marlborough
plan to apply for court order to pre-
vent any attempt to stop the enforce
ment of an increased fare goes on to
its appointed hour on March 8.
1t is well known that nothing of
Importance happens within the Tam
many domain in Greater New York
without the previous sanction of the
oarons of the Tammany machine.
This means, of course, that the in
creased fare move of the l. r. T. could
nave been planned only with the
knowledge and consent of the Tam
many politicians. 1t is further point
I'd out that the injunction which the
marlborough will seek can likewise be
secured only with the sanction of
Tammany.
AS an example of the truth of this
claim, it is further pointed out that
The application by the Bronx Cham
Der of Commerce for an order to re-
strain the increased fare move was
promptly denied simply because it was
against the policy of the Tammany
machine, working with the traction
interests. The Bronx order was
sought at the request of followers OF
former Mayor Hylan who is now ION
The outs" with the democratic ruling
power.
Yesterday District 2 Of the Work
ars (Communist) Party issued a
statement in which call was made
TO the workers of the city to unite
in mass effort to protest against
he increased fare steal as the only
means of preventing the hold up. Or
ganization of the traction workers
was likewise urged as one Of the
steps in the united campaign against
the Tammany Hall-traction combine.

When the delegation left for Amer

tensive tour thru the Ukraine Soviet
Republic.
Greizer was particularly interested
in telling about two important phases
Of the Soviet Government which he
believed were not stressed enough and
n some sections completely left out
f the official report of the delega-
ion. These are the Soviet courts and
he Red Army.
Due to special interest in the courts
manifested by his fellow traveller
4undeen, who is lawyer by profes-
sion, Greizer was able to observe in
detail the court system and its con-
struction.
