IS Up FOR
ACTION
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 6IN.So.-
Professional tennis, which, as
everybody knows, is composed Of
low persons with vulgar interest
In money, may or may not be de-
sclared in tomorrow on business
that heretofore has been the ex-
elusive prerogative Of those whose
ideals call for amateur players and
professional box offices.
Everything depends on the
within of the United States Lawn
Tennis Associations executive
committee, which is scheduled to
meet tomorrow and decide what
the tennis association is destined
to decide at its annual meeting,
three months hence. This is what
is known as the Sef-determinatio1
method and is a big help to those
who don't need any.
Among other things, 1t is
probable that the committee
will decide whether there is
to be an open championship
= next summer or next dOOms-
day.
= I am aware that they begged
the question Of the member ma
lions of the International Fedora
don and received an affirmative
answer. but everybody's approval,
Il seems, doesn't constitute a
majority in the parliamentary
procedure of the tennis asSocla-
tion. ...
Anyhow, they have been busy
writing each other letters in an
effort to convince themselves
that they know their own minds,
which is doubtful. and tomorrow
they probably will talk the thing
ont in the privacy Of executive
session.
Their problem, briefly, is this:
Wether to let the professionals
In on the profits of competitive
tennis or to go on as they were
and probably have almost no
profits at all. It seems to be one
Or the other, what with the
Davis cup challenge round having
become an old French custom
and the National Amatuer cham
pionShip being a bromide.
Outside of the French and
Tilden, the amatuer field
doesn't mean a thing.
I'm fact, tennis has come to the
point where it must look to its
professionals for man capable
Of taking issue with Cochet and

ioned, runaway crowds, if they

Najuch. karel Kozelul, Vincent

amateur tennis is afraid of and for
itself.
1t fears that, welcome as the
receipts from this event would be,
the 'topen" would take the play
away from the national singles
and make it look badly. I might
add that amateur tennis comes
by this fear honestly. An open
event would make the national
singles look like a public park
invitation. 49,
IT suspect that the Tennis AS
ISOLATION also fears that Cochet
and LacoSte might not survive an
open championship and thus
make amateur tennis appear no
better than it really is. This, Of
course, would be unfortunate. 1t
simply couldn't afford to be

HARL- EN- NEGROES
STOP LYNCHING
Mob Forms on Basis of
Flimsy Charge

Several dozen lynchers, throwing
stones and calling for reinforce
ments to hang Ernest Barnett, a
Negro, gathered at 115th st. and
Fifth Ave. yesterday, and only the
presence of Nc workers who hur-
ried to the sce..e, long before the
police made any attempt to save
him, prevented a tragedy.
Barnett had already been arrested
by a policeman, Fred Beers, on the
unsupported accusation of a hys-
terical white woman who charged
that he had tried to snatch loaf of
bread from her hand as she was
carrying it from delicatessen store
to her apartment.
Barnett was arrested in the door
way of his home, at IL East 115th
ST., somewhat after the alleged food
snatching. He declares his inno-
cence, but there is considerable fear
among his friends that third degree
torture will be used against him.
He was taken to the East Hath
st. police station.

Despite all attempts made by

so girl workers in the Proctor and
Gamble soap plant, manufacturers
of Ivory Soap, Port Ivory, Staten

They are as determined as ever
on winning their demand that wages

introduced.
The Trade Union Educational

turn today for the answer.
Before leaving they contributed

another strike broke out. Yester-

advance guards of General Plutarco
Elias Gales federal command and
outposts of the clerical forces COM

The announcement said that the

tion. A number of participants were
believed killed in the skirmish, it
was said.
MEXICO CITY, March 2s.-The

GOTH BIRTHDAY
OF KRUPSKAyA
Active in Revolutionary
Movement 40 Years

MOSCOW, March 2S.-The Soviet
and the international Communist
movement and press are now cele-
brating the sixtieth birthday of
Nadezhda Constantinova Krupskaya,
widow Of Lenin, who was born Feb.
27, 1869. the more than forty years
of constant revolutionary activity
she has engaged in have en6eared
her to the masses of men and women
workers throughout the Soviet
Union, as well as to proletarians
throughout the world.
Krupskaya joined the revolution
ery movement while still a young
student and has passed through the
fiercest struggles and bitterest ex-
periences it offered. With Lcnin in
exile, she took an active part IN the
theological battles out of which cry
stallized the Bolshevik Party, and
was especially valuable in keeping
up communications between Lenin
and the Party members and crgan-
izations in Russia.
In Siberia she wrote the first
Russian propaganda pamphlet for
working women ("Woman and the
Woman Worker" February, 1901),
to bring about solidarity between
the Russian working women and
their sisters in Western Europe.
She worked with Lenin from the
time they came together in under
ground activity in st. Petersburg in
1898, in Siberia and in western Eu-
rope, doing most dangerous and re-
sponsible underground work rs his
co-worker, secretary, intermediary
and propagandist.
After the revolution she became
a member of the CommissarIat of
Education, in charge of mass educa-
tional work, and now gives most of
her time to this important work, at
the same time that she does much
work in the Communist Party.

Will Be Proposed for.
December Session :
of Congress
Means Jail for Striker
Courts to Enforce All
Misleaders' Contracts

The American Bar Association
yesterday announced that it would
propose in the December session of
congress it's long prepared anti
strike bill, with only such camou-
flagc and modification as the pre-
sent rehabilitation of workers and
renewed fighting power of labor
seem to make advisable.
The plan was brought up before
the bar association committee in
charge of it yesterday. They met
in the New York State Chamber of
Commerce building, among the peo-
pie who are directly back of the
bill, and arranged only details, for
the main principle of the vicious act
had already been approved by
meeting of the whole association in
Seattle, July 1, 1928.
Matthew Woll, vice president of
the American Federation of Labor,
on whose invitation the bill was first
prepared, and who helped to plan
it, was expected to be present at the
final meeting of the committee, but
was compelled by other matters to
absent himself, it was announced.
julius Henry Cohen, of the COM
mittee, and chairman Of the so-called
"open hearings" held in New York
January, 1928, to propagandiza the
measure, read into the records of
the meeting yesterday an account
of a consultation between the COM
mittee of the bar association and
she American Federation of Labor
general council in New Orleans in
July, at which the general council
of the A.F.L. expressed lappreci-
alton for the opportunity of discus
sing the provisions of the bill with
the bar association"
The main purpose Of the bill is
to make enforceable by the courts
on all members of a union any agree
ment, through arbitration or other
wise, between employers and the
union bureaucrats. This is intended
to utilize the iails and the police
to simply imprison all rank and file
leaders who are implicated in strikes
forbidden by union officials who
have sold themselves to the bosses
and tied down their union by con-
tracts for however long a term.

UniOnizes UnOrganized
New Militant Center
Can Compel Safety

Coal miners, suffering from the
inhumanity of James Paisley, who
not only ran mine that killed 46
of his employees in one explosion
few days ago, but now accuses the
miners of blowing themselves up
with bomb, are cheered by the
announcement that their union, the
National Miners Union, is one of
the three new unions which have
signed the Trade Union Educational
League call for a new trade union
center.
Only organization, these miners
know, will put stop to the callous
disregard of the safety of the men
underground. The miners at Kin
loch, where the Paisley property
mine exploded, are about one-third
of them in the N. M. U. already.
They knew weeks ahead Of time that
the mine was filled with dangerous
gas. But they could no nothing.
They had to have work. Organized
action against their employers, to
compel safety conditions, meant
more organization first.
Real Unity in Sight.

fighting textile workers of the New
