The dispatch followed closely
upon the latest of a series of eff
forts on the part of Representative
Fred Britten of Illinois, who long
has Striven to effect a reconcilia-
ton and came in the wake of a
conference at the White House, as
result of which he intimated
President Hoover heartily favored
a renewal of athletic relations be-
tween the academies, particularly
the Army Navy foot ball game.
Admiral Robison's reply made no
mention Of q date for the conference
which Gen. Smiths message appeared
to invite, and although it is expected to
be held in the near future game this
year is regarded unlikely due to the fact
that ArTny's schedule calls for trip to
the Pacific Coast at the end of Deem
Der, while the December 6 date at Chi
cago proposed by Representative Brit
ten would interfere with the mid-term
examinations at West Point.
Gen. Smiths Message.
Gen. Smiths message to Admiral
Robson follows:
Since the Army and Navy severed
their athletic relations in 1927 there has
annual foot ball game between the two
service academies. This game had be-
come foot ball classic. It was looked
forward to by not only the two branches
OF the service but by the public at large
THE people of the country who pay
for the upkeep Of the two institutions
would like to see this game resumed.
The student body Of the United States
Military Academy Is normally 1000.
k1a Nf he
which you have the honor to preside
numbers normally 1000. While there
Is slight difference in the ages Of the
cadet and midShipman, the cadets aver
aging nine months older than the
midshipmen, your crops Is nearly 800
men stronger.
Rivalry in sports between the two
academies has become traditional. Ath-
letic relations between the two inSti-
tutions have built up this spirit and
made the future generals and admirals
proud of their alma matters.
81 have seriously considered the mat
ter of renewing the annual foot ball
game and have recently held numer-
Gus conferences with my stan, athletic
advisers and others who are as vitality
interested In the welfare OF the acad-
emiiS and the sports pertaining to them
as you and /.
"The public at large wishes this game
resumed. They want to see a foot
ball game between the two academies.
The Military Academy is anxious and
willing to meet the Naval Academy.
The Military Academy suggests that
foot ball games be resumed.
"It is further suggested that any
member of either student body who
is declared eligible by his academy
authorities will be eligible to play in
at would be grateful If you would
take this matter as suggested above
under consideration and arrange TO
meet me, preferably In Washington,
where the situation can be discussed
in detail and something accomplished
toward renewing athletic relations be-
tween the two academies"
Admiral Robison's Reply.
Upon receipt of Gen Smiths COM
munication Admiral Robson issued
statement which read:
I'VE will be glad to meet the au-
thorities of the Military Academy at
any time to discuss the resumption Of
relations

Express Confidence in

Deep resentment against their
sellout by the American Federation
of Labor officialdom, who wroked
hand in hand with Tammany Hall
politicians, was expressed yesterday
by scores of tunnel workers betray-
ed Sunday at a union meeting held
at Manhattan Lyceum. Instead of
winning their original demands,
which the workers were willing to
continue to figh tfor, they were sent
back to work with a $1.50 week
increase, which is below the union
scale.
Negro and white workers, inter
viewer yesterday by the Daily
Worker, stated that they have conf
dence in the program of the Trade
Union Unity League. The chairman
of the strike meeting on Saturday
refused to allow the T. U. U. l..
progra INTO be put to a vote, as
plans had been made to sell out the
strike the next day.

1000 BISCUIT
WORKERS STRIKE
IN KANSAS CITY
Are Fighting Speedup;
Refuse to be Argued
Back by Manager
Bosses Use N. Y. Shops
TUUL Issues Call for
Solidarity

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 30
More than 1000 workers in the
Loose Wiles Biscuit Company plant
here spontaneously went out on
strike Friday against new methods
of efficiency and speed-up that have
recently been introduced in the
plant. More than 80 per cent of the
strikers are young girls. The work
ers went out without leader and
unorganized but were unanimous in
their denunciation of the speed-up
and the new system.
The manager, James McQueeney,
tried to talk to the workers on why
they should go back to work but the
workers answered his proposals with
jeers and yells. Then he threatened
to open the plant with all new en-
ployes. He ended by asking all who
were willing to go back to work to
raise their hands. Not a hand went
up but the girls yelled out as one,
"razzberries.
McQueeney in a statement to the
press said that the New York plants
would ship products here to fill or
ders which shows the necessity of
spreading the strike to other cities.
The local Trade Union Unity Lea
que will issue a leaflet to the work
ers at which the ywill call for the
setting up of strike committees and
organized picketing of the place.
Shortly after the workers went
out McQueeney called the police but
the workers were not intimidated in
the least.
Is Big Concern.
The Loose Wiles, second largest
biscuit company in the United
States, has over $4,000 workers in
branch plants, the principal ones be-
ing in Kansas City, where the strike
was called, and in Long Island, N.
Y, "Sunchine Biscuits" are the best
known of the $50 varieties made.
Abolition of the speed-up! The
five-day week and eight-hour day!
Shop committees to control working
conditions! Time e-and-one-half for
overtime! These are some of the
demands the workers are asking for.

VITAL BARRIERS
MEET TONIGHT
TUUL Urges Removal
of Committee

All militant and progressive bar
bers are urged to attend the meet
ing of Local 900, BARRIERS Union, to
be held at $50 o'clock tonight at
New Harlem Casino, 100 W. 116th
St.
The Trade Union Unity League,
BARRIERS Section, urges that at to-
nights meeting the members of the
local remove the investigation COM
mittee which has not followed out
the instructions of the membership
and elect a committee of workers
interested in the welfare of the bar
bers. The committee that was elect
ed, instead Of representing the
wishes of the membership, removed
President Daniels from office and
fined him $4,000 because he has been
the reactionary group in the
union.
The statement further points out
that the reactionary Epstein-La-
mote clique is responsible for nom
union BARRIERS working in union
shops, while members of the organi-
zation are walking the streets look
ing for a job. 1t also urges the
membership to ignore the threats of
the clique that they will remove
from the job those voting against
them, also their threat that they will
beat up the militant members. 1t
adds that the T. U. U. L. will pro-
tect the left wing and progressive
members of the union.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Sept. 3d.
Dewey Martin, member of the Ma

The reduction of charges and dis

reduces the number of peremptory
challenges of the defense from 168
to %. 1t wa sonly the large number
of peremptory challenges that en-
abled the Defense to obtain a jury
of workers and farmers in the pre-
vious attempt at conviction in Char

will now be very difficult to eliIni-
nate prejudiced business men from
the jury.
An attempt was made by Judge
Barnhill, trying the case this time,
as he did the previous Charlotte
trial, and the proceedings which
ended in ruling for a change of
venue in Gastonia before that, to
eliminate all Charlotte workers
from the special venire of 100 which
will be called and from which jurors
will be selected. The judge proposed
to eliminate citizens of Charlotte
township from the venire. The rea-
son for this is the number of work
ers in Charlotte who are sympathetic
with the defendants. Since the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union and
the international Labor Defense
have carried on so much agitional
and organizational work there, the
state wante dto keep them off the
jury. Outside of Charlotte there are
few industrial towns in Mecklenburg
county. s..sa.
Sheriff to Pick venire. T8
The alternative offered by Barn
hill was t ohave the sheriff go out
and pick up a venire at his discre-
ton, of course only of the middle
class citizens prejudiced against the
unionists on trial. The Defense OBJ
jected vigorously, and after a sharp
argument the Judge backed down on
this point, as it was so flagrantly
unfair and contradictory to his pre-
vious pretense of impartiality. ss11p
