nj is such q thing as having a
VI strangle hold on the 1929
l. 2-year-old turf championship,
Harry Payne Whitney has 1t.
And he is prepared to show his
strongest hand Saturday, when more
than a score of juveniles go forth to
battle for the rich Hopeful stake and
a leg on the two-year title at fashion,
able Saratoga. Boojum. speedy son Of
John p. Grier and unbeaten In two
races, and Whichone, winner of three
out of four starts, are the pair upon
which the Whitney stable is ready to
pin its faith.
BOojum Is Impressive.
Hailed as the best horse bred since
Man o. War. Boojum made walkaways
of his two races over the Widener
straightaway at Belmont Park, breeding
home lengths In front of mediocre fields.
The late James Rowe, ST., veteran
trainer for the powerful Whitney
stable, rated the son of John p. Grier
as the fastest youngster he had ever
trained.
While many experts are Of the same
opinion there are others who declared
that Whichone is the better of the two.

winning race over an oval track. And
right there Is where Boojum may fall
down. In workouts to date, he has
shown tendency to bear out on the
turns.
So we'll liked are the Whitney colts
that they are expected to go to the
post at odds as low as 3 to 5-the Short
est quotations since Man o. War turn
ed In his Hopeful victory in 1919.
But whereas the public has showed
a decided leaning toward the light blue
colors of Whitney, there is set of
owners and trainers who believe they
have youngsters In their stable capable
Of beating the mighty Whitney threat
for Hopeful honors.
To sustain their argument they point
to the inconsistency Of the crop of 2
year-olds. They all have beaten each
other save in isolated cases like that
Of Booium, which has started only
twice. Each shift Of weights has seen
q new winner. Each change of track
conditions has caused a transfer of the
laurels OF victory.
222 Are Eligible.
Two hundred and twenty-five colts
and fillieS are eligible for the final
classic of the Saratoga meeting with
more than 20 expected to face the bar

WHY AMERICAN BOYS
SHUN The SEA

Captain George Freid, of the steam
ship America told officials of the
United States shipping board, and
other dinner guests who assembled
in his honor, that "the greatest need
of the American merchant marine is
men-enough men and the right
men"
He said the government merchant
marine has failed largely because of
the inability to obtain men of the
right type to man its ships. He advo-
Gated recruiting offices similar to the
navy.
Captain Freid's theory has long
been urged by the International Sea-
mems Union, whose motto is: "Sea
power is in the seamen; ships are
only tools"
The finest vessel a1oat can not
operate without skill, but American
boys will not go to sea when COM
PEELED to work a y and 14-hour day
ana sleep IN the forecastie with Ash
atics. The navy secures American
boys because they are treated as
Americans.
A few days before Captain Freid
made his statement a merchant ma
rine conference in Washington was
attended by ship owners, ship build
ers and government officials.
The one cry at this conference was
Money" Financial aid from the
government was urged in every con-
ceivable form, and even included the
suggestion that the government build
merchant ships and hand them over
to private operators.
Not one suggestion on the value of
man power or good working condi-
tions was hear
And yet people wonder why Amer
lean boys shun the sea.

Observation-Disclosures labor fill
ed the auditorium in the department
of the interior building in this city
at hearing before the federal radio
commission to grant full wave
length to Station VIGIL owned and
controlled by the Chicago Federation
of Labor.
The hearing developed into one of
the finest defenses of organized la
Dor ever presented by trade unionists.
Under the law wave lengths are
issued on the basis of public inter
est, necessity and convenience" and
the representatives of labor lifted
their cause out from the dollar and
cents standard and showed that it is
woven into our national fabric.
The unionists refused to concede
that the labor movement is compar-
able with organizations of capitalists
or that the workers only have the
profit urge while they protest
against every wrong that affects all
workers.
The witnesses included Frank Nor
rison, secretary A. f. of L.; Matthew
Vol, vice president A. F. Of L.;
Thomas Kennedy, secretary United
Mine Workers; Miss Zelma Borchard
vice president American Federation
of Teachers; Victor A. Olander, sec

The workers were opposed by Sta

ware of organized labor's long serv-
ice record that the trade unionist,
presented.
The latter declared that the labor
movement is inseparable from the ma
tion's social economic and cultura
development and that its purpose anc
policies must be understood.
"We stand in the front rank as
leaders of social progress, and to sup
port this claim we present our rec
ord" said Vice President Woll The
unionist insisted that labor's message
is in the public interest. and tha

Industrial Bourbons
Force Workers to Unite

Strikes in the southern textile in
dustry will probably mark the end of
blurbs that this native American
stock" can not be interested in "for-
eign agitators who foment unrest by
organizing trade unions"
This indictment is wrong on two
counts:
First, the American trade union is
distinct from any other trade union in
the world. In this country organized
workers depend upon themselves.
rather that attempt to capture" the
government that will be run by few
'leaders" who hand down blessings
from above.
Second, economy necessity, rather
than "agitators, is the base of Amer
lean trade unions.
Our opponents cantor won't-un-
derstand that workers join trade
unions only after they are convinced
Individual effort has failed.
Our opponents are the real trade
union organizers. Low wages, long
hours and speed up systems in the
southern textile industry again proves
that the Bourbon never learns.
These southern workers are the
last of old-time Americans. They
knew nothing of trade unionism until
they became industrialized. Then
they realized that the exploiting en-
ployer cares nothing for sex, nation
ality, creed or politics.
Then they awakened to the fact
that employers and allies play on
their prejudices and their fears to
keep them from the unions.

ARE YOU HEARD?

Did you, as an individual, ever get
invited to Legislative hearing? Did
any political party ever ask you, as
an Individual, to help it make out its
program? Were you ever Individually
consulted as to the desirability of
particular law? The chances are, if
you are working man, that you
never have been and never will be
asked about these things as an indi
vidual.
Wage earners can make their
voices heard in these things by acting
collectively There is no other way.
The. Ohio State Federation of La
Dor is simply the organized workers
of the state. 1t is working mans
organization, with headquarters two
blocks from the state house. Its
business is to make you heard.
