NEW YORK. Feb. 28.-While at
tention of eastern fight fans is cen
tered upon the approaching De-
laney-Heeney heavyweight bout in
New York Thursday, there will be
an unofficial elimination fight in
Los Angeles tonight.
Either of the principals in this
bout on the Pacific CoaSt-George
Godfrey, the ebony giant, or Paolino
Uzcudun, the squat Basque-prob-
ably would be a more dangerous
opponent for Gene Tunney than
Delaney or Heeney, according to
some ring critics.
However, tonight's victory--if one
comes-must be achieved suddenly
and spectacularly if it is to make
an impression upon eastern fight
fans. For Godfrey TO loll along and
outpoint the Basque would be to
eliminate both from further consid-
Grafton. Or for Paolino to wreStle
his way through an uninteresting
bout and win the decision would be
quite as useless.

MACHINISTS ASK
RECOGNITION OF
SOVIET union
Philadelphia Lod g e
Sends Resolution
(Bp a Worker Correspondentl

(Bp Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA (By MaiD-An
accurate reflection of economic con-
ditions in Philadelphia, as well as
in all other industrial centers of the
United States is contained in a re-
solution adopted by Lodge 159, In
ternational Association of Machin-
lists.
This resolution was passed after a
thorough comparison of the system
prevailing in the capitalistic United
States and with the Soviet system
now proving to be of such great
benefit to the workers of the USSR
was made by the membership of the
union.
The resolution is for the recogni-
ton of the Soviet Union and reads
as follows:
Whereas, there are thousands of
machinists in this country walking
the streets in search of employment,
and
Whereas, the USSR needs ma
chinery and is anxious to purchase
much machinery in this country if
suitable trade and diplomatic rela-
tions could be established between
the two countries, and
Whereas, the only reason for our
state departments refusal to recog-
nize the USSR is that it is Work
ers' Republic, therefore,
"Be it resolved that this annual
convention of the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists calls upon
our government to Immediately take
steps for the full recognition of the
USSR, and be it further
Resolved, that, a copy of this
resolution be sent to the A. F. of L.
for presentation at it's next regular
convention"
The wording of this resolution
speaks for itself and shows clearly
that the workers in Philadelphia are
doing considerable bordering over
their many grievances. They want
redress at once and this resolution
should make Bill Green and all the
other A. F. of L. officials sit up
and take notice.

IN FIRST
SPEAKERS MEET
D. Benjamin at Head
of Bureau

For the first time in the history
of the Workers (Communist) Party
and of the State of New Jersey, a
Communist Speakers Conference
was held in that state on Saturday,
August 10. The scene of the his
toric conference was 80 Mercer St.,
Newark, where two weeks before
the New Jersey Ratification Con-
vention had been held amid great
enthusiasm.
A permanent New Jersey Speak
ers' Bureau was formed by the thir-
teen Communist campaigners pres
ent, representing Newark, Passaic,
Jersey City, Union City, Elizabeth
and Perth Amboy. The conference,
under the leadership of Z. Benja-
min, District Agitprop Director, dis
cussed the platform Of the repub-
lican party, paying special heed to
those aspects of the republican plat
form which closely touch upon con-
ditions that obtain in New Jersey.
All those present pledged them
selves to actively carry on the cam
paign of the Party in New Jersey
by speaking at open-air meetings
throughout the state.
At the close of the conference a
letter was sent out to all the New
Jersey units, urging all members to
attend the speakers conference,
which will hereafter be held regu-
larly at 90 Mercer St. on every other
Sunday at 10 q. M, commencing
with Sunday, August 26.

Kameneva and many prominent rep
resentatives of the theatre, litera-
ture and art.
Nine. Kameneva, on behalf of the
USSR Society for Culture Relations,
stated: "The Moscow visit of one
of the. leading French actors and
managers-Firmin Gemier-will no
doubt serve to strengthen the ties
between French and Soviet theatri-
cal circles. Gemier is at present
travelling in Europe in order to
mobilize public opinion around the
idea of the international Theatre.
AS chairman of the International
Theatrical Association, he has Of
ficially invited us to take part in

BRITISH FEAR
GERMAN PLANES
Beaverbrook Press De-
Claims

LONDON, Aug. % British United
Press) 1.-The reported intention of
the Junkers firm of Germany to
establish an airplane service from
Ireland direct to the continent, fly
ing over England, has aroused the
keenest demand for Britain to UNI
dertake the development of a COM
petitive aerial service.
The Junkers company is said to
be planning to connect with Trans
Atlantic liners at Queenstown, to
take off their passengers and carry
them to Dublin, Liverpool, Hull and
over the North Sea, thus linking up
the present German airlines, which
already have a monopoly in central
Europe.
Lord Beaverbrook's papers are
demanding that before it is allowed,
Britain's ''disgracefully humiliating
position in civil aviation" should be
completely overhauled.
1t is also understood that Brit
ish company was offered the Dublin
to-continent contract but declined it
on the ground that insufficient
revenue was likely to accur there
from for a considerable period.
Air experts point out that pre-
sent day civil aviation machines are
capable of easily being converted
into war bombers and that therefore
Germany's leadership in the world
of aviation is a source of potential
weakness to Britain.
Only 100000 pounds sterling are
at present expended in subsidies to
British civil flying, and it is as
serted that unless the amount is
vastly increased, even the central
African services, which are of the
most vital Importance to the en-
pire's communication, will pass into
the hands Of the French and Bel
gians, thus leaving Britain without
any real monopoly in the air except
the service to India.

Sub-Sub-Sub Contractors.
I think that the hardest place to
work in the building trades of the
country is in New York City,
especially in the plastering and
bricklaying lines. Most of this
work is done by sub and s1b-sub
contractors. These little firms en-
ploy "gaffers," whose job is to push
the men on in their work Intimi-

In the Masons Union, if a mem
Der is found to be in sympathy with
a Communist organization, his card
is destroyed. Such men generally
revenge themselves by working un-

I have often noted the slavish at
mosphere of my fellow workingmen.
They seem to be utterly resigned to
their "fate," are inactive even in
the A. F. of L. union. The new
agreement will run out not so long
from the present time, but the
bosses use the weapon of S14 per
day very effectively against the
workers to prevent them from ask
ing for better conditions in general.
Not until the workers realize they
must put up strong fight against
the bosses, slavery and drudgery
and bad living will always be part
of the building trades work.
