Philadelphia. Aug. a. Patience
and modesty are the outstanding vir-
lures of the venerable Connie Mack,
OF course he has skill and plenty Of
baseball knowledge, but they arc pro-
fcssional virtues.
In 1914 he broke up one Of the
greatest teams OF all times, q team
which he said had become pennant
rich and had lost the incentive to
make the extra effort to get to first
base on a questionable hit.
I'll build q new team," the grand
old mar said at one time.
He tried to build a new team. First
he went after young college boys to
whom he could teach his ways. The
method failed. Not because Of Con-
ME, but because of the inaptitudc of
his pupils.
Then he went to the other extreme
and hired two old men, Ty Cobb and
Iris Speaker. in the hope that they
would steady the young promising
team he had assembled. The pres.
encc of the two old stars. however
worked just the reverse Dissensior
came instead OF harmony.
Patience Rewards Him

after expanding plenty Of money =

Mexican Church Head
Is Baseball DevOtee

Mexico City. Aug. I'd Arch
bishop Pascual Diaz, new head of the
Catholic church in Mexico, has re-
turned to his homeland from three
years exile in the United States, as a
missionary carrying the message Of
baseball.
Archbishop Diaz, who was elevated
from a bishop on his fifty-second
birthday, June 81. recently confided
to friends that while living in New
York he never missed a metropolitan
baseball game when his two favoritc
pitchers. whom he did not name. were
scheduled to be in the box.
Monsignor Djaz declared the game
should have greater popularity in
Mexico. and said he would do all he
could to encourage the sport among
the nations youth.

Engineer Testifies in
Jersey Graft Trial to
Surprising Sewer Cost

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. g.
Thomas j. Mooney, chief engineer
on section two of the Dover-Jersey
City sewer, was the first witness
called today before the Case Legis-
lative Investigating Committee,
which is hesitatingly looking into
all political corruption in Hudson
county that is too well known to
be overlooked.
The sewer cost 100000 but
never was put in operation. Mooney
testified that the Alberta Construc-
ton Company, of Jersey City,
which had the contract for section
two of the sewer, was paid $4,000
more than the engineers estimate.
Clyde G. Potts, chief engineer
for the sewer work, said he had
signed the monthly estimates for
section three of the sewer, but lie
had destroyed his calculations in
arriving at the estimates because
che thought them Of no impor-
tance."

But despite this success in the

a cause for alarm, expressed by Mr..

Jewish SECTION
HITS TROTSKY|Slr
Hold Three Successful
Meets in Week

Three successful meetings were
arranged by the Jewish Section of
the Workers (Communist) Party in
the last few days for the purpose of
explaining to the working masses
the meaning and the danger of Trot-
skyism. The speaker at each of these
meetings was Moissaye ]. Olgin. The
first meeting was arranged in New
Haven, Dec. 10. The attendance
was about 135 in spite of the fact
that the meeting was called on brief
notice. Trotskyites appeared-three
in number, and were given the OPP
portunity to ask all kinds of ques-
tions. The meeting started about
nine o'clock and adjourned at one
p. m.
The second meeting took place in
New York, Sunday, Dec. % in Irving
Plaza Hall. Over one thousand
gathered. The atmosphere was
rather heated. Forty-five minutes
were given to questions. Comrade
Olgin gave exhausted answers to all
the questions.
The Third meeting took place in
Boston in the New International
Hall. Over five hundred attended.
One of the notorious Trotskyites, DR..
Konikov presented all the questions
the Trotskyists could muster.
The general sentiment of the
masses is in favor of the Commu-
mist Party and against the Trotsky-
ties. They are looked upon even by
nor-party workers as right wingers.
Ordinarily the rank and file work.
ers know the Trotskyites, their as
sociations, and their activities" The
workers, even those who are only
sympathizers with the Communist
Party, realize that those elements
are mostly non-proletarian, degener-
ates who had never done any con-
structive work among the masses,
who had been hidden up by ambition.
and who, in their present transfer
nation everywhere are combined
with out-spoken right-wingers, re-
dictionaries Of the Workmen's Circle
and the socialist party. The cause
of one worker in New Haven must
be shown as an example. This man
had at the beginning sympathized
with the Trotskyites, being himself
non-partisan. But when he learned
that the Trotskyites associated with
open reactionaries, he broke off all
relations with them, saying that
while he understood discussion
among Communists, he would never
tolerate right-wingers.
The three meetings, and there are
to be more of them in the near
future, have certainly served to
arouse the interest of the workers to
the danger of Trotskyism and to
rally in large numbers around the
Workers (Communist) Party. Many
applications were made at those
meetings.

TARIFF WAR is
Threatened BY
FRANCE SOON
May Resort to Raising
Automobile Duties

PARIS, Jan. 3.-The Petit Jour
nal, we'll informed on the attitude
of the French foreign office, pre-
diets tariff war with the United
States. 1t says:
Difficulties have arisen between
the French and American govern
ments relative to the method of val
uation of French goods imported to
the United States. France has kept
her promises and engagements of
November Is, 1927, but French
claims to the United States remain
unanswered.
A tariff war would certainly be
bad for both. Nevertheless, France
is in a position to retaliate, if neces-
sary, as, for example, through the
application of entrance duties and
ad valorem taxes on American auto
mobiles.
at is also we'll to remark that in
the past two years the United States
has been unable to absorb the total
of its own industrial products and,
reducing wages, it must find foreign
outlets. For export purposes it
takes two countries. That is why it
will be advantageous to both coun-
tries to reach a commercial under
standing"

SILK WORKERS
TO HOLD MEET
New Union Elections by
Membership Saturday

PATERSON, N. j., Jan. 3.-1n
conformity with plans made at the
new silk unions founding announce
ment was made yesterday that a
membership meeting will be held this
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in
Oakley Hall, I'll Market st.
This meeting is to be held for the
primary purpose of electing officers
of the local organization. Paid and
unpaid officers will be chosen here.
Since its establishment some time
ago, when nearly all the broad-silk
workers in the Associated Silk Work
ers' Union, left that reactionary or
ganization because its leadership had
broken the strike thru expulsion tao
tics and boss collaboration policies,
the union has been growing tremend-
ously in numbers and in influence.
There will also be a "house
warming" in celebration of the
opening of the new headquarters at
219 Paterson St. The old ones at
ISL Broadway have long ago proven
to be too small to accommodate the in
creasing activities of the union. Adj
mission to the "housewarming" is
free.
Plans are now in preparation fef
the big mass meeting the union in
tends to call for Sunday, January
IL in Carpenters Hall. The COM
mittee is trying to get the leaders
of the left wing Needle Workers
Union and of the Miners Union to
address the meeting.
The strike the traitorous officials
of the Associated had broken weeks
ago has just now been "called off"
by the takers, an announcement tells
us, hypocritically adding that union
conditions were won in the settled
shops.
That this is an outright lie can
be proven by the fact that num-
Der of shops have gone out on strike
against new wage slashes in the past
two weeks. The National Textile
Workers Union Local has in most
cases been the leader in these fights
against the wage cut.
