ON union SQUARE
Trachtenberg Tells Of
Plans for School

"All New York revolutionaries will
be there!"
This slogan adopted for the Red
Banquet that will be held Friday
evening at the Workers Center, 26-
% Union Square.
The Red Banquet, for which prep
arations have been in progress for
the last few weeks, will mark the
high point Of the campaign to raise
$4,000 to finance the acquisition of
the new Workers Center. The ban
quet will be the official celebration
of the militant workers of New
York and vicinity in honor of the
acquisition of this new home of the
revolutionary movement. The guests
will be served with a ful-course,
proletarian meal by Proletcas.
Quotas. Being Filled.
It is announced that all those still
having tickets in their possession
must account for them Immediately
at 1928 Union Square or 108 E. 14th
St. Tickets still unreturned up to
8 p. m. today will be considered sold
and those holding them win be re-
quired to pay for them.
Many members of the Workers
(Communist) Party are going beyond
the $40 quota set for each member.
An example of the self-sacrifice of
workers in the present drive was
shown yesterday when Fred Kam-
merer, an iron worker, member of
Subsection 3B, contributed $25. KAN
.merer has been active in the reyo-
lutionary movement for many years.
In addition to his. contribution the
rest Of the subsection added SIT to
its previous contribution.
Whole Sum Essential.
Other contributions yesterday
were: I'D 81, $3.50, "a At, SAC in
cash, $50 in pledges; Section 6,
$10750; Section 4, Italian unit, 21;
and la OF, $50. Though many units
are doing good work, increased ef-
forts are necessary, it is pointed out,
if the $4,000 is to be raised by the
end of the month, when the entire
sum must be paid.
A comparison of this drive for $780,
600 with the campaign II years ago
to buy the Rand School was made
yesterday by Alexander Trachten-
berg, president of International Pub
fishers. Trachtenberg is chairman OF
the board of directors of the Work

CIGARETTE WAR BEGINS.

While spending millions of dollars
to advertise and popularize smoking,
large American cigarette companies
have entered huge price-slashing
war with British manufacturers.
Highest grade cigarettes are being
sold wholesale at So per thousand.
But no move has as yet been made
to reduce the retail price. Wages
in the industry are at starvation
level but further pairing is expected
in the effort Of the owners to safe
guard their profits.

former governor of Illinois and one
of the chief aspirants for the repub-
lican nomination for president.
During the presidential campaign
of 1920 Lowden who at that time too
was seeking the nomination for presi-
dent, was found to have used S413,000
in his campaign. 1t was discovered
also that his campaign managers ir
Missouri had paid $4,000 apiece to
two delegates to the national conven-
ticn for which no services were asked
or given. Thus the profits that are
wrung from the sweat and blood of
the workers of the National Biscuit
Company are used to extend the polit-
ical domination of the bosses.
Girls Faint on Job.
The workers at the National Biscuit
Company are among the most ex-
plotted wage slaves in the country.
These workers, in letters to The
DAILY WORKER, testify to the
miserable pay, unsanitary conditions
of work and the terrible speed-up
system at the plants. The average
wage for full weeks grind is about
$14 for girls and $24 for men. But
as many of the workers are on part
time basis and in many instances the
plants shut down for day. Many of
the girls faint from lack of proper

of West Pennsylvania avoided to O

Non-union miners of Export who,
together with twenty thousand other
unorganized coal diggers, struck last

Company Offers 20 Cent Raise.
The day after the workers from
seven Leechburg mines struck the
company offer of a twenty cent in

practically to the Jacksonville scale
was unanimously turned down. Coal
operators are offering every conces-

the coal diggers refuse to be fooled
by such trick demands and declare
that they will spread the strike until
national agreement for a national
union is reached.
Many mass meetings throughout
the non-union territory are being held
daily.

Pro Grid Squad Is Matching
College Team as to Injuries

Tony Plansky, who, Potteiger says,
"has more natural ability than any
man I ever saw" is bothered by a
wrenched leg. The former George
town foot ball and track luminary, who
is playing his first pro season, although
he has been out of college for some
years, weighs 220 and is heaviest full
back in the league.
The most serious injury of all was
suffered by AL Bloodgood, once of Ne
braska. The lightest man on the team,
the 148-pound back suffered broken
shoulder on the opening kickoff in the
game with the Chicago Bears.
Even Capt. Steve Owens, 245-pound
tackle, who had gained reputation as
an iron man by playing two years with
the Giants without having to call for
time out, was not proof against the
ink He was hit on the head In the
first five minutes of play In the first
league game of the season against Potts
vile and was unconscious for five hours.
Potteiger has an explanation at least
for the leg injuries. He says most Of
them occur because the pro athletes
report for play without the long period
of conditioning which college players
undergo.
Just now the Giants, who play Gibby
Welch'S New York Yankees tomorrow,
day, rank only midway in the standing,
with record of two victories and two
defeats. Meanwhile, Benny Friedman
and his Detroit wolverines have been
providing the big noise of the circuit.

Abe's Body Back
On Downswing
pULL5 .TAEr1 mo ThE
FOLLOW THROUGH
BY SOL METZGER.

BY SOL METZGER.
The tremendous drives of Abe
Mitchell, nearly all carry, due to
Abe's getting so much weight onto
his right leg at the top Of his swing,
have long been of interest to golfers.
Abe works on the theory that the air
offers less resistance to ball than
turf, SO he purpoSely picks them
clean and propelS them upward into
space.
Many sound players tell me that
nearly all tremendous drivers drag
the club back with the straight left
arm, the hands leading on the back
swing. This is habit with Abe.
It is also noticeable in the back
swing of Jess SweetSer, the Amerl-
can amateur star who had won both
the United States and British anna
teur titles.
Abe believes in keeping the body
back of the club on the down swing.
His theory is to throw the head
through so fast ahead Of the hands
that the latter, with the body, are
pulled into follow through.
Slow-motion pictures OF Abe's
club coming into the ball show that
his drive Is principally a throw
through of the clubhead, the snap
of the wrists being so great as to
cause the head of the club to bend
the shaft. Thus at contact his club
head is leading not only hands and
body, but the butt Of the shaft, as
shown in the sketch at the right
