SPORTS COLUMN
FOR The DAILY
Will Start Tomorrow;
to Appear Daily

Tomorrow the new sports depart
ment of The DAILY WORKER be-
gins. 1t will be published daily
thereafter. By means of a special
international news service it will be
possible to print the latest news of
both labor and capitalist sports in
every part of the world, including
the Soviet Union.
This new department is being
started in response to many requests
from workers in various parts of the
country. 1t is only one of the many
news features that are contemplated
in the bigger and better DAILY
WORKER. Labor sports, which are
still in their infancy in this country,
will of course be given as much
space as possible. For this the CO.
operation of all labor sports organi-
cations is necessary. Organizations
located in New York or vicinity
should phone in the results of games
as soon as they are over. Communi-
cations telling of sports activities
are welcome and should be addressed
to the Sports Editor, DAILY
WORKER, 1928 Union Square.
Tell your friends and shop-mates
of this new department. Sports fans
have now no reason to read the CAPT
talist press which ignores labor
sports entirely. Keep in touch with
the world of sports by reading The
DAILY WORKER every day.

Get 90 CENTS
Corrupt Officials Are
Running Union
by a Worker Correspondent

by q Worker Correspondent
CHESTER, Pa, (By MaiD.-The
carpenters of Delaware and Mont
gomery counties are entering g
stage nearing crisis.
According to a report rendered by
the secretary-treasurer of Delaware
county, conditions are reaching g
stage which will be worse than
1881.
Fake Unionists.
The business agent reports the
loss of very prominent contractor
Five jobs have been called and one
of the jobs is already manned by
non-union men. He went to the
contractor and tried to persuade
him to hire union men but he re-
fused to have anything to do with
them as he could get all the men he
wanted at 90c to $100 per hour.
The present rate in this district is
$1.25 per hour.
The jobs were called after several
men were fired and disclosed the
fact that the union men had been
scabbing for some time, working at
80 cents an hour.
My God! where are we drifting
to? We can't trust our own men.
The officials charge the men as
being responsible for the conditions
here. If they would only stick out
and not work
The men say the officials have
played favorites and have sat still
and have not tried to keep the union
contractor in line.
Must Picket.
A single picket was placed on the
job in Sharon Hill and was paid
$500 for his services. The picket
reports that there is no use to stay
any longer as he came very near
being arrested. No one has talked
of mass picket as no one seems
to think enough of the job.
Several of these jobs are public
school jobs and the business agent
thinks the same ruling should ap-
ply to "boroughs as applies to
cities" for example-contracts of
this kind should be and must be
awarded to union men at the pre-
vailing rate of wage. IS.

STOCKHOLM, July Is. - The

about 10000 members of the Saw

time allowances, payment of repairs
and the right of the Union to safe

POTTSVILLE, Pa, July 15.-Mrs
Chas. Burilla, wife of one of the
three miners entombed in the Lyt-
tie colliery at Lyttle near Potts
vile, has gone on hunger strike
and has not eaten since the acct
dent occurred. The rescue workers
have about 400 tons of debris to
clear away before it is possible tc
reach the miners who have beer
under the pile of rock and coal. Hope
has been abandoned for them. A

vented finding the unfortunate min
ers who are the victims of the greed
of the coal operators.

Australia Miners to
Fight Wage Reduction

SYDNEY, July 15.-Aggregate
meetings of mining employees were
held at various centres throughout
the Newcastle and Maitland coal
fields on Sunday to protest against
wage reductions and alterations in
working conditions proposed by the
mine owners.
Various speakers pointed out tina
reduction in wages or any increase
In working hours would not remedy
the present slackness in the indus
try. The demand for coal had
eased because of the increasing use
of oil as fuel, mass production of
electricity, and the development of
coal resources in other countries
Even if the miners worked for
nothing there would be no greater
demand for coal.

10000 EXTRA
BALLOTS SHOW
CORRUPTION
Those Ware Majorities
Not Surprising Now
by a Worker Correspondent

by q Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (By MaiD
The election" methods in vogue
in this great citadel of 100 per cent
Americanism were brought out
wildly at the investigation being
conducted before U. S. Senator
Chas. A. Waterman, of Colorado
who is here taking testimony for the
senate committee on privilege and
elections in the Wilson-Vare senate
contest.
Wilson, who ran on the demo
cratic ticket, charges that the cleo.
ton was stolen by the Ware r..
publican organization for their
leader, VIM. S. Ware.
Huge Ballot Steal.
1t was admitted by County Com
missioner Harry Kuenzel, and by
Maurice A. Roesch, superintendent
of the commissions bureau of cleo
tons, that after official ballots are
printed to cover every name on the
assessment lists, an extra 10000
copies of the official ballots are run
off on the presses.
What becomes of this huge num-
Der of extra ballots? The county
commissioners attempted to prove
that they were finally destroyed
However, the Investigators, the in
vestigators' attorney and the audi
ence were not convinced.
One thing is certain, nevertheless.
Unusually huge majorities are
rolled up by the Ware machine on
every election day. Majorities, so
huge, the thinking public wonders
at it. And now comes the revela-
ton that 100000 extra ballots are
printed.
Corrupt and Contented."
Of course they may not be used.
But then, oh! well, this is a democ-
racy and democratic practises pre-
vail and even that great sage of the
republican party, Elihu Root, char
acterized Philadelphia as Corrupt
and contented" So the bright boy
at the head of the class will please
come forward and explain why $780,
900 extra ballots are printed and
what is done with them each cleo
ton day. &C. RABIN.

WORKERS SCORE
FASCIST TERROR
N. Y. Police Break Up
Demonstration

Police Saturday broke up a dem
onstration of 300 workers before the
Italian Consulate, 20 E. 22nd St.,
who protested against the fascist
terror and demanded the release of
all class-war prisoners in Italy. The
demonstrated was arranged by the
New York Section of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, 799 Broadway.
Gathering in front of the con-
sulate shortly after l o'clock, the
workers marched up and down hold
ing high their placards. Some Of
the slogans read: "Wall st. Supports
Fascism-Fascism Murders Work
ers-Fight Fascism"; eve Demand
Freedom for 5000 Workers in Fas-
cist Jails"; "Mussolini, Mass Muir
dererl" Down with Fascism! Long
Live Workers Solidarity" eve De-
mand the Right of LOCALIZED Exist
ence for All Political Parties; and
ITO Fight Fascism in America Join
the International Labor Defense"
Police Threaten Workers.
The demonstration had been in
progress for about 10 minutes when
a policeman appeared on the scene
and began threatening the workers.
He took Leon Litwin, who was
leading the demonstration, out of
line and tried to dispense the others.
Finding that the workers were not
inundated by his threats and abuse,
the policeman went into the con-
sulate and phoned for reserves. A
sergeant, five patrolmen and five
detectives soon arrived on the scene
and began tearing up and confis-
eating the placards. Workers were
pushed around and threatened, but
the majority, defying the police, con-
tinued to walk in front of the con-
sulate.
While the demonstration was in
progress, Rose Baron, secretary of
the New York Section of the Inter
national Labor Defense, and Joseph
Magliacano, one of the demonstra-
tors, went up into the consulate, and
in the absence of Consul General
Grazzi, delivered to one of his at
taches letter voicing the protest
of the workers of America against
the fascist terror and demanding
that this protest be forwarded to
Mussolini.
45-Minute Demonstration
The demonstration lasted for about
45 minutes, the police continuing to
threaten and manhandle workers.
Having accomplished all that they
could, the demonstrators finally dis
persed.
One of the policemen turned to
the attache of the Italian consulate.
Are you satisfied" he asked. The
attache smiled contentedly. {

MASS PICKETINC
NOT ALLOWED BY
PRESENT LEADER
Refuse to Call Out All
Non-EQul Men
by Worker Correspondent

NDB " ~ W htf COff Go DOHtt6EIJ
READING, Pa, (By MaiD.-A
strike of twenty full-fashioned knit
ters is taking place in the plant of
the Non-Equl Textile Mills. Inc.
here.
1t is significant that Earl White
of the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers, dis.
claims responsibility for "provok-
ing" the walkout. This is very likely
correct, since his organization has
failed to organize any appreciate
number of the many full-fashioned
knitters employed in Reading plants.
to say nothing of the other hosiery
workers, such as seamless knittersl
loopers, toppers, etc. The latter
classifications of workers are
wholly unorganized and there are
thousands of them in Reading and
vicinity, most of whom are young
workers. Nothing is said about call
ing out and organizing the Non Foul
workers other than full-fashioned
knitters.
Socialists" Betray.
Furthermore, Earl White, in com
mon with the Reading Socialist"
trade union officialdom and reac
tlonary misleaders of labor gener-
ally, is opposed to struggle with the
bosses, advocating instead boss
worker cooperation and appealing tc
employers to favor unionism as Q
step profitable to themselves. It is
very unlikely, in view of these facts
that he would like to "embarrass"
the employers by initiating a strike
However, when unorganized knitters
walk out" spontaneously in pro-
test against the two-machine sys-
tenn, Whites union is quick to take
charge-in order to control the
strike, limit its extent and prevent
trough stuff" which the socialist"
