IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Because
IN Mr.. Jack Curley is one of
Gods noblemen through whose
veins the life currents of great
emancipators run and because the
gentleman pales and sickenS at the
thought of any injustice to fellow
mortal in this vale of tears there Is
20 be a six-day bike race next week
up IN the Bronx-that part OF Man
haitian where the Kosher meat signs
rattle raucously in the early winter
breeze.
II has long been matter OF
common gossip that the six-day
racers operating in this country
under the sponsorship of Mr.. John
s. Chapman are little more than
poor, oppressed serfs.
MR. CURLEY WILL START HIS RACE
WITH SIXTEEN TEAMS-ONE MORE
THAN MR.. CHAPMAN OFFERED IN HIS
LAST RACE. he WILL PAY. HIS RIDERS
A MINIMUM OF 500 DAY AND A
MAXIMUM OF $500 DAY. HIS DAILY
PAYROIL-MR. CURLEY INSISTS LOOK
ING you SoUARELY IN THE SHOE TIPS
WILL BE so GREATLY IN EXCESS OF
MR.. CHAPMAN's THAT 1T WOULD SUR
PRISE YOU"
MIR. CURLEY knows of no other
Nl professional sport where the
swag is so unfairly divided, and be-
ing an apostle of altruism and an
advocate of the broad principle that
right is right and wrong is a mug
he has, with the assistance of Mr..
Leo New Dough- Folger, taken
steps to bring about the great re-
form.
Up in the Bronx Mr.. Curley has
taken over the immense Kings !
head armOry, largest drill shed in
the world, and carpenters are now
at work Transforming its caver-
nous abdomen into wooden
horseshoe of seats with a pine
board racing floor which baSks
sar.berIy in the middle of the
arena.
n
PROCESSING TO A REMARKABLE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE FINANCIAL
PHASES OF MR. CHAPMANS OWN PER-
SONAL BUSINESS, Mr.. CURLEY ALLEGES
THAT THE LAST SIx-DAY RACE HERE
IN THE GARDEN CROSSED IN THE
NEIGHBoRHooD OF $6OO. 900 AND OUT
OF THIS SUM THE GEoRGETTIs. THE
SPENCERS, THE BROCCOS, THE
BEoLTNIs AND THE M'NAMARAs WERE
PAID LESS THAN $4,000.
y
NTHAT is more important. Mr..
w Curley has arranged to pay
his riders in money. On the occa-
sion of a recent rebellion against
the tyranny of the Chapman regime,
when a number of riders fled from
the Siberia of sportdom. the rival
promoter had nothing to offer the
boys but sympathy.
+
However, Mr.. Curley has re-
opened the field to them and they
WI together with a batch of for
eign impOrtatiOns who arrived on
the Berengaria, make up the gall
LIANT little army of independents,
fifhting the cause of right versus
might, liberty against oppression,
and Curley VS.. Chapman.
n
THE WAYS AND MEANS BY WHICH
Mr.. CURLEY HOPES TO BREAK THE
CHAPMAN GRIP ARE VERY SIMPLE AND
VERY HUMAN. IN SPITE OF EVIDENCE
TO THE CONTRARY HE ARGUES THAT
IT Is POSSIBLE TO BE A SIX-DAY
CYCLIsT AND HUMAN BEING AT ONE
AND THE SAME TIME.

Unification of the Party.

For the accomplishment of these
tasks the convention again repeats
the necessity for the unification of
the Party on the Bolshevist line of
the Comintern, and believes that
the fulfiIlment of these tasks will
still further strengthen the New
York district, make still greater
Roadway in the winning of the
masses of workers for Communism
and will establish the New York dis
trict as a powerful pillar of support
for the feminist line in the Workers
(Ccmmunist) Party of America.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-05

chinery for the coming election
campaign. The Party must make
special efforts to make greater in
roads into the proletarian elements
who still follow the socialist party,
to exposing the so-called non-parti-
san policy of the A. F. of L. bu-
reacracy, to fighting Tammany Hall
as well as the republican party.
Cooperatives.
While the convention regards the
of real consumers CO.
operatives in the district as a good
sign of mass activities in the Party,
it declares that it is necessary that
the district exercises very rigid di-
rection of the work of the Commu-
mist fraction in the cooperatives
with the following objects:
(a) To increase the non-Party
members in proportion with Party
members.
(b) To prevent the development
Of producers cooperatives in place
Of real consumers cooperatives.
(c) To prevent the too rapid ex-
pansion of the consumers coopera-
tiYes.
(d) To check the tendency to
leave the trade union struggles to
go into the cooperatives instead.
The convention calls upon the dis
trict to establish a firm control and
discipline of the Communist frac-
ton in the cooperatives, to stamp
out factionalism as a deadly men,
ace to cooperative enterprises, di-
reefs the D. E. c. to take all steps
to unity the Communist fractions as
we'll as to establish better and clos
err working relations with the Left
wing elements in the cooperative or
CARNATIONS.
Daily Worker, Press and Literature.
The convention points out that
there has been real support on the
part of the district and the sections
to the Daily Worker. At the same
time it regards such support as still
insufficient. 1t directs the atten-
ton of the Party to the necessity of
taking more effective steps to
bringing the Daily Worker closer to
the workers in the shops and trade
unions, increasing the financial sup.
port, linking up the issues of shops
and the class struggle with the
Daily Worker. This will mean a
greater reflection of the work of
the Party in the columns of the
Daily Worker; having the Party
face shown more to the masses, and
the maintenance of greater revo-
lutionary proletarian spirit in the
paper. The convention greets the
Improvement of the Communist tone
in the paper as we'll as the various
mass features of the Daily.
The convention points out the nee.
essity of increasing decisively the
sale of Communist literature in the
shops and among the Party com
