BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-William
T. Tilden's tennis fate may be de-
cided today. The governing body
of American tennis, the U. S. L. T.
A. today was to decide whether
Americas ranking tennis star and
captain OF the unsuccessful Davis
Cup team this year, is guilty of vio-
lating the player-writer rule.
Although Tilden was not on hand
to present his defense he wrote a
letter to Samuel H. Colon, presi-
dent, in which he stated his case.
He asked Colon to place his story
before the committee.

IN STATE GOLF EVENT

RYE, N. Y, Aug. 24-Thirty-two
golfers were to tee of today for the
first round of the match play to
determine the 1928 New York State
amateur champion.
Donald Carr, Mt. Kisko, won
qualifying honors with a n for the

the qualifying round was the failure
of George Voigr,, North-South

consecutive tournaments, to qualify.

accurate recollection.
Mr.. Burlen has a book that is
more interesting than popular. I'm
like most books around the track
this one has nothing to do with odds
or speculation. On the contrary, it
is a record of the current years
racing on New York tracks. The
bows call it the Burlen Bible.
Il Il +
There are number of inter-
esting items in the Burlen Bible,
Turning the pages you read, for
instance, that OriSsa, 2-year- old
FLY of the RancOcas stable, ran
four and a half furlOngs in Isl
for new track record at Belmont
in June.
THIS is the only new track rec
Il ord that has been set since the
seasons racing started. Mr.. Bur-
len wonders if this indicates that
the limit in speed by thoroughbred
racers has been reached. You won
der along with him and agree that
it must be significant of something.
Perhaps the fact that this is a
presidential year has something to
do with it.
The Burlen Bible contains figures
on horses that have won races this
season, starting from the inside rail
and the extreme outside post posi-
ton. There is no more interesting
revelation in the book.
The tradition of the track is that
a horse starting from the pole po-
sition, or closest to the inside rail,
carries an important advantage. In
fields where all other matters are
even this is popularity supposed to
be winning edge. To the Burlen
Bible this tradition is nothing short
of a. coarse guffaw.
II
Figures on four tracks-Ja-
maica, Belmont, Aqueduct and
Empire-show that where sixty
eight horses starting from inside
have won victories since spring,
sixty-six starting from the ex-
IRENE outside, and Theoretically
taking the longest way home,
have scored victories.

Big Bill Dryer Comes Out.

Bill Dwyer was the Whisky King, up till two
years ago
He headed the gang that brought 100000
gallons into the United States and, to accom-
plish it, built up bootleg marine of eighteen
deep-sea vessels and uncounted high-power
motor boats
Millions in profits came in to this truly royal
figure in an American business-a business
which we can be sure is no small factor in
politics and commerce.
Many of the millions went to bride the pro-
hibition officers of the Coolidge -Mellon-Hoover
administration. Don't forget that And don't
forget what millions in brides can do to an
Observation-Disclosures Coolidge admins
tration. Remember Albert B. Fall and Harry
Daugherty, "clean as a hounds TOOTH and Jess
Smith, sitting in Daugherty's office in the de-
partment of justice to receive the brides arising
from the bootleg and pardon department, and
later dying by a pistol-shot in Daugherty's and
his joint residence just at a critical moment
when exposure seemed unacceptable. At an
other critical moment when exposure seemed
inescapable, the chief of the gang, Warren G.
Harding died in an unexplained way, by which
death Coolidge became president. When again
the ghosts of Teapot Dome and the Continental
Trading Company bribe-money began to walk
and even to edge into the cabinet at the elbow
of Mellon, Coolidge was able to pass the presi-
dental nomination on to Herbert B. Hoover,
also a member of the Harding Coolidge
Daugherty-Jess Smith gang.
Hoover, who went mum through the Hard
ing Coolidge administrations of eight years of
graft and perjury and suicide as cabinet
member is now in hard-fought campaign. In
this campaign Booze is an ISSUE and the att-
I'll &c 1,.Io1
part in the winning or losing of two states
which may be decisive in the election: New
York and Massachusetts, Smith has the edge
on Hoover on the Booze question in these two
"free-liquor" states. Hoover must be for pro-
hibition to carry other states, but must make
showing somewhat favorable to the thirst of
large social element in New York.
Why does the Coolidge-Hoover administra-
tion find it best now in the election campaign
to release the Whisky King?
Can the Whisky King do something for
Hoover in New York?
Of course the bootleg business has stake
in prohibition Prohibition and the bootleg
business are twins in capitalist society.
When Big Bill Dryer went to the pen the
millions of bootleg profits and bootleg bride
money did not go with him.
And Big Bill Dryer is out I'LL health" is
the vague reason given, but the ill health" is
not explained.
Perhaps it was inconsistencies.

The grocery and fruit clerks, the

box makers are mostly youth. In the
mems clothing strike, in Wasserman
Clothing Co. for example, fully so
per cent of those whe went out on

young workers were not unionized,
but nevertheless joined the adult
workers when they went out on
strike.
Young Workers Will Fight.
And just last week the strike of

(This article appeared in French
in Henri Barbuse's weekly paper,

A young Hispano-A American, doc
tor OF law of the University of
Paris told me Of the interview
which he had with Augusta San
dino in his own camp. From Hon
duras he had to scale high and al
most impossible mountains before
he reached the encampment Of San
dino.
Augusta SANDING personifies the
conscience OF the Spanish-Ameri-
can, from the day when his chief
Moncada decided to fold his flag
before imperialist diplomacy. San
dino and his three hundred COM
panions swore to repel the invaders
or to die on the barbados. Like
Cordoba, the hero Of Ayacucho, the
trave Nicaraguan was able to say
that if it was impossible to con-
quer it was not impossible to die.

With three hundred guns and
seven thousand cartridges he under

Admirably acquainted with the ter

"My country, the one for which

of all of the Central American Re-

tended arm which supports five

right. They cannot and will not
organize the unorganized. The So
called progressives are too fearful,
are too hesitant, are too much
afraid of antagonizing the official
labor movement.
The Communists and the left
wingers must without hesit alton as
sumo leadership over the struggles
of the unskilled, semi-si lled, and
unorganized workers. Especially
since our main emphasis at this
time is to work among the un-
organized workers and for the crea-
ton of new independent unions.
Problem of Unorganized.
The question of the young workers
is an integral part of the general
question of the unorganized since
the youth constitute so large per-
centage of it. The General Work
ing Youth Conference is a step in
the direction of helping to organize
the unorganized. Every Communist,
every left-winger worker, every
militant worker in the unions,
in large shops and in small shops
every place where there are young
workers employed-must give their
utmost support to this campaign to
organize the unorganized young
workers. Left wing and Communist
workers must fight in their local
unions for the sending of delegates
to the General Working Youth Con-
ference in September, for the en-
dorsement of the resolution, for the
election of delegates in organized
shops include young workers-one
for every ten-and in unorganized
shops. We have had too much of
talk, we must now take steps to
actually organize the youth.
