Skid Road, Seattle, Washington,
where all unemployed workers on
the West Coast turn up at some
time or another, has heard of Gas
tonia and shown its indignation
with a collection of $50.
Mother Ella Reeve Bloor, who
spoke before the unemployed ami
impoverished workers, declared their
response was splendid. Her tele-
gram from Seattle declares, Send
ing you $50 from workers of Skid
way Road, Seattle, to the brave
Gastonia fighters. If you need me
st any time at Gastonia," she
writes, you know that l am ready"

increasing, for the mass collection

BUILD PLANES FOR PEACE"

MITCHELL FIELD, L. l., Sept.
16 (UP).-Secret tests are being
conducted here with a new cabin
monoplane known as Alfaro, built
by a Cleveland Aeronautical de-
signer.
A feature of the ships somewhat
radical design is that the pilot can
increase or decrease the lift of the
wings by changing the curvature in
them.

Labor Sports Union Notes.

Boxing will play a big role in the
fall and winter program of the
Labor Sports Union. But it will be
the kind of boxing that will help
to build up fighters for the class
struggle and not to enrich promot-
ers. The working class needs strong
and courageous fighters to protect
itself against the attacks of fascists
police and other anti-labor elements.
More support should be given the
Labor Sports Union in its activities.
At the present time the L. S. U.
is planning to start a drive to build
up an organizational fund of $1,000
so that it may be able to send out
organizers in the field. All organ
izations, trade union, fraternal and
benevolent, should contribute to this
fund. Send all donations to L. S.
u, 764 40th St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-09-17

All the reformist anti-labor ele-
ments are joining their forces in a
struggle against the only labor
sports movement in this country
the Labor Sports Union of Amer
lea. Palm, Uurtamo and several
other renegades of the Labor Sports
Unions, unable to deceive the work
ers with the radical phrases and
being bankrupt as far as having any
organization is concerned, have now
enlisted the support of the socialist
party, the 1. W. W., the Music group
and all the other anti-labor forces
in building up so-called labor
sports movement. A provisional
committee consisting of Palm, Uur-
tamo, Frank Strunc, Clarence o.
Senior and Sam Gordon, of the So
cialist party of Chicago, and J. Mar
timex of Cleveland. The compost
ton of this committee clearly shows
that it is an enemy of the working
class.
The object of this committee is
"to unite all sports and physical cul-
ture organizations and to affiliate
to the Lucerne (Socialist) Sports
international"
This committee continues to mas
querade as the Labor Sports Union
of the United States.
With the intensification of the
class struggle we see that the re-
formist forces are using every
means possible in fighting the work
ing class in the interest of the
bosses. The Second and Third Con-
vention of the Labor Sports Union
of America, with headquarters in
New York, the real Labor Sports
Union affiliated to R. S. l., clearly
exposed the role of the reformists
in the labor sports movement. The
Palm, Uurtamo gang of traitors
must be exposed as such and all
support should be given to the
strengthening of the only Labor
Sports Union in the country. All
workers that are interested in
sports and are not yet members of
the L. S. U. should write to Walter
Burke, Sec'y. at 764 10th St., Brook
lyn, N. Y.

Boxing Notes.

The coming bout between Com
polo and Phil Scott which is to take
place this Wednesday will not help
much to clear up the muddle in the
ranks of the heavies in the boxing
market. Campolo showed himself
to be strong but very crude and
lacking in ring generalship when he
succeeded in pounding Tom Heeney
to the canvas. Heeney was about
played out as contender anyway.
On the other hand Scott, in his past
performances, proved that he had
everything but a fighters heart.
Victory of either over the other
therefore will not help much in re-
ducing the number of contenders for
the ex-marine's vacated crown.
With all the noise going around
about the heavies one of the years
most interesting fights is being

POLICE To CURB
MISCHIEF
Children, beware!

Children, beware!
This is the advice sent to the
Youngsters OF the District by mem:
bers OF the police department as
they prepare to stop the turbulent
spirits Of youth from tearing the
city limb from limb tonight-Hallo-
Ween.
According to an announcement
sent to all members OF the police
force from the office OF Major
Henry G. Pratt. innocent fun and
pranks will be tolerated but rowdv-
ism will not and all miscreants will
be firmly dealt with.
Although time has honorad the
custom OF parking wagons on barn
tops, lifting gates from their hinges
and similar acts, the merrYmakers
OF the city will do we'll to confi1e
themselves to more Genteel activities.
1t is the belief Of the Police De-
partment that the custom OF these
days, parties and dances. Is much
more fun than the oId-time kind OF
reVelry.
According to some estimates more
than 10000 grade and high school
youngsters will be indoors having a
Sood time at their own expense,
rather than out Of doors at the ex-
pense of their friends end neigh
bors.
In spite OF all this extra details

BRIEF STATES
COMPETITION
WOULD END

The moving cause behind
the street car companies de-
mand for a 10-cent fare is the
Capital Traction Company's
failure to earn annual net reve-
nue. sufficient to pay 7 pen
cent dividend on stock, Will
liam Mex. Clayton, counsel
for the Federation of Citizens
Associations, declared in his
brief opposing the fare in
crease, filed today with the
Public Utilities Commission.
The sum expected to be realized
annually, should the commission
grant the petition $3.50, ,000), would
make possible a stock dividend of
between s and per cent" the brief
states.
The Washington Railway and
Electric Company is earning now
and has been earning for severa!
years between s and 9 per cent rate
Of return on the combined valua tiuna
of the railway and electric light and
power divisions of its property.
Clayton says.
Asks Protection
1T is the contention of the Capt !
Traction Company that the commits
sion should and must protect the
company from the competition of
the Washington Railway and Elec-
tric Company at a cost to the car
riders of that company of over $400.-
900 annually" stated CLAYTON. A
contention it is here confidently as.
| serted is utterly indefensible IN both
law and morals"
| The 10-cent fare. it is estimated.
will realize the Washington Railway
and Electric Company approximately
100000 increase in revenue. which
! Clayton contends it does not need.
The Capital Traction Company
falls short about s175,000 Of max
ing enough to pay 7 per cent
dividend on Its stock, according
| to Clayton.
Claim To Be Competitive
Both companies insist before the
Commission that they are highly
competitive and invoke the aid
of the Commission based on this
claim. yet both companies plunge
the dagger of uniform fare into
the heart of fare competition, the
only form of competition pronis
ing relief to the car rider.
They claim that uniform fare
should only apply when fares are
increased. that it has no applica-
ton when a fare decrease is con.
sidered.
