 We haven't as yet heard anything from the managers of the Senecas Holy Cross, Burritts or the Sokols with regard to the city series, but as soon as the majority of them state that they wish to enter we think that it would be a wise policy to call a meeting to discuss the project.
 Should these managers be inter- csted in the project, and they so eX- press themselves, a meeting will be called for some night next week at which time the preliminaries to the series could be ironed out.
 AS a suggestion, a round robin series could be played with each team meeting the others in home and home battle, a third game to be nlayed if necessary. This would bring the elimination down to two teams which could stage a series of the best three out of five for the championship of the city
 However. if this is to be done, then the time to start is right away because July is passing, August and September are fast approaching ana October isn't very far away.

 To us. the procedure is the only solution to the question of which team in the city is to be rated as the best. Experiences in previous sea sons. sometimes very dlstastelui' have prompted us to let the man agers ;ake care of these matters themselves. A number of them have taken kindly to the proposition, how ever and it needs only the express sion of interest on the part of the majority to make it reality.

HARRISON, one
OF IS VICTIMS,
.PASSAIC VETERAN
Tells Of His Life Of
Poverty.
By JOSEPH HARRISON

I was born June 10, 1905 in New
York's East Side about half mile
from the birthplace of Al Smith.
Ny parents moved to Passaic when
1 was four years old. l entered
PASSAGES public school and after
graduating from grammar school
entered high school, but due to the
inability of my parents to support
me, was compelled to leave before
1 had completed my first year.
My first job was in the Waldrich
Bleachery, Delawanna, N. J. l was
plating in the Kiers and on the boxes
and earned a wage of $3.50 per
week. This was during my summer
vacation. l was IA years old at the
time. The following vacation l went
to work in the Passaic Metalware.
l was helper around the machines.
I caught my finger in a machine
called the bodymaker and lost a
joint and half. left their employ
before my finger healed to attend
high school. In mid-winter l de-
cided to quit school and went to
work as a cardhand in the Passaic
Cotton Mills. 1 worked here until
this mill moved South.
l then worked in several dye
houses and when the Passaic strike
broke out in 1926 I was working
in The United Piece Dye Works in
Lodi, N. ]. Our mill was one of those
that took part in that strike. was
a member of the strike committee
and learned to speak at mass meet
ings. During the course of the
strike l was arrested several times
for picketing. Following the strike
l was blacklisted by several of the
mills but l managed to find employ
ment in several of the mills during
the busy seasons.
During the summer of 1927 / went
to New Bedford where thousands of
textile workers were striking against
a wage cut and offered to assist
them during the strike. I remained
in New Bedford until the strike was
settled. l went back to Passaic and
worked in several mills during the
winter and spring seasons. l be-
came interested in the struggle of
the Southern textile workers under
the leadership of the N.T.W.U. and
finally decided to hitch-hike south
so that I could study the southern
situation and get first-hand infor-
nation. l arrived during the last
week of May and was asked to re-
main as an organizer and was pre-
pairing to leave Gastonia to go to
my post when the raid was made
upon the tent colony. During the
fight, l was wounded.

bers, one by one. The night work
ers met at once on the lot in back
of the hall and voted to start pick
citing when the day help came out.
The union hurriedly mimeographed
leaflets that afternoon, calling upon
all workers to stand by their fell
low-workers and to strike for bet
ter living conditions. The workers
went to the picket line. l led the
line this night. AS we walked
back and forth in front of the mill
gate the bosses issued leaflet after
leaflet to the workers around the
gate and on the picket line. A few:
Deal SAYS THE UNION HAS
100000 DOLLARS IN THE COM
MERCIAL BANK IN NEW YORK
THERE is NO SUCH BANK"
"CAN YOU LIVE IN TENTS
WHEN YOU ARE THROWN OUT
OF YOUR HOMES?" The bosses
nailed two big signs of oilcloth
painted in red saying: 'BE A MAN,
DON'T BE DRIVEN" The latter
slogan was later used by the work
ers.
Lack of space prohibits telling
the whole story of the Loray mill
strike. 1t is enough to say that the
National Textile Workers Union is
making history in the South. The
manufacturers are furious at the
thought of losing their profits.
Their propaganda throughout the
North that 1--WE have good loyal 100
per cent American slaves" holds no
more. The Southern worker is
awake and will now fight shoulder
to shoulder with his Northern fell
low-workers. The N. T. w. U. has
done the awakening; that is why we
are now, Is Of US, in the CASTOR
county Jail on the framed-up charge
of murder. If the bosses succeed
in legally numbering us, our just
cause will be carried on by others
in the union just as loyal.
I was also arrested in several
free speech fights in Lawrence.

Ten Years Of SOVIET Medicine
IN Ne1U Picture by P0selskv

TWO new pictures by Poselski are
on the way to be released here:
4The Struggle for Health" and
"Spartakiade." Poselski has already
made name for himself at the
Hague Exhibition with his "Prob-
lens of Diet" He has beer working
in the film industry since 1915, and
since 1922 has devoted himself al
most exclusively to educational
films.
"The Struggle for Health" (Ten
Years of Soviet Medicine) is an at
tempt to show on the screen the
essence OF the work of Soviet medical
science, it's fundamental aims and
purposes. The chief of these is the
establishment of prophylactical de-
partment v.h control over daily life
and industry. The picture centers
round this. A great part of it Is
devoted to showing the work of the
latest medicinal discoveries, unknown
to tsarist Russia, and first and fore
most the prophylactical departments.
The work of the Soviet medical scien-
fist and doctor-closely bound up
with industry and the life of the
workers. shown to the audience.
Care in the Soviet Industry.
The first part shows the work of
the doctor in industry, his control
over the life of the worker, the
methods of defining professional dis
eases and their elimination. Among
other things is seen the only insti-
tute for the study of professional
diseases and their prevention, the
Obuch Institute. Among the de-
partments for the prevention of pro-
fessional diseases, the most interest
ing are the night sanitoriums in
which workers sent by doctors spend
their leisure time.
The second part of the picture
demonstrates prophylactic work
against the social diseases tuber-
culosis and veneral dispensaries. The
consultation for pregnant women and
mothers, lying in hospitals, creches
and nursery-schools, under the con-
troll of doctor-sociologists, are wildly
illustrated. Of special interest are
the pictures showing the teaching of
the ABC of hygiene in the schools.
Physical Culture Encouraged.
"Spartakiade" is not without in
ternal connections with the first pic
ture. Physical culture, regarded by
Soviet medicine as one of the most
important prophylactical means, has
developed in our country with ex-
traordinary rapidity. There are now
over three-and-a-half million men,
bers of physical culture circles. The
Spartakiade held last summer was
a sort of review of these forces.
Sport, which has such a profess
sional character in many countries,
is regarded in the Soviet Union as
relaxation for the workers. Thirty
six nationalities were represented in
the Spartakiade, in which there were
six thousand participants. The task
before the producer was to illustrate
the class character of the Spar
takiade, and to show our achieve
ments in physical culture.

SoUTH'S SLAVES.
Leads Toilers
Says Knight
By RUSSELL d. KNIGHT
Zone of Is prisoners charged witt
murder in Gastoria jaiD.


At last the long oppressed textile
slaves of the South have awakened
to the realization CT what Commu.
nism means. For years they have
been carefully taught by the bosses
that Communism was bugabSpl
something to be avoided as tn
would plague, because of its "9
structive" qualities. In all of theh
attacks on the Communist Party thu
bosses have never given the work
ing masses of the South an intelli
gent definition of Communism, ant
the people who have been forced in
to the factories at very early age
and have been deprived of the schoo
ing that they were entitled to-
haven't had the opportunity to learr
it.
But now, things have taken on a
different aspect. The workers now
have learnt that Communism means
the struggle for the interests of the
workers, and it is only thru the com.
bined efforts of the workers that
they can ever hope to achieve efnan,
cipation. In the Gastonia strike, the
bosses flooded the country with
leaflets of all sorts, condemning the
union and trying to break up its ac-
tivities by slurring the Communist
Party, and lying about Russia
These strikers had become wise t d
this method of the mill owners and
were determined that the bosses
should not put an end to their
struggle for better conditions by|
such high-handed methods as hand
ing out a pack of lies to them. If
Communism meant the minority
these leaflets would never have be-
distributed because the bosses res
ize that they themselves are ii
minority, and once the workers
realized this fact in it's true light
they would not cease struggling uni
til they had won their strike. And
these workers have at last learnt
this secret that has been so closely
guarded by the bosses and they ard
putting up real militant fight and
they know that their struggle is add
ing another step toward their vic1
tory as well as helping to make thd
Communist Party real success in
America.

first one that I ever led on a big
scale. l learned a great many les
sons in this strike. The strike was
caused through a 10 per cent wage
cut. The 26 fine cotton mills were
all out. At the start of the strike
the American Federation of Textile
Operatives "a. F. of T. o. had the
larger membership, the U. T. w.
having from two to three hundred
according to reliable reports. These
unions would only make an effort
to organize the skilled, the great
mass of unskilled left to the mercy
of the bosses. The T. M. C. organ
lied these great masses and many of
the skilled. A great many men,
bers of the old unions also belonged
to the T. NJ. C. and this prevented
their leaders from selling the strike
for many months at least. The
strike lasted six months. I was ar
rested about seven times for lead
ing the picket line. I spent one
month in Jail along with Murdoch
during the strike for my picketing.
At one time over two hundred strik-
ers were arrested on the picket line
at one time and lodged in the city
police station all together. When
we were arrested, we were piled in
huge moving trucks. l was leading
the line this day along with Big
Mike"
The latter part of the strike
found the textile workers every
where looking for a national textile
union, one that would embrace the
militant spirit of the One Big
Union, T. M. c. and past progress
sive and radical unions and avoid
past mistakes. In September, 1928,
the National Textile Workers Union
was born. Delegates from all sec
tons of the country-with the ex-
ception of the South-were there.
1t was the greatest textile confer
ence. Albert Weisbord was elected
secretary-treasurer and James P.
Reid, president. The decision of the
Executive Committee was that l go
South and organize the many thou
sands of terribly exploited textile
workers. South I went. My dis
trict is No. 9, taking in all the
Southern territory. I started my or
ganization work in Charlotte last
December 1929. l worked in a
quiet way and learned to understand
the Southern workers, who differ
very little from their Northern
brothers. organized a local in
the Manville-Jenckes (Loray) mill.
The first secretary of the local was
Will Truett and the members met in
his father-in-law's house. Ec was
a night worker. The bosses found
out what he was doing and dis
charged him.. 1 was at Elizabeth
ton, Tenn, at the time. He wired
me that the bosses were going to
fire all the union members and to
come at once. We held meetings
for both day and night workers in
his home and it was decided to hold
mass meeting on a vacant lot.
This meeting was held the last Sat-
urday of May. Great numbers Of
the workers joined the union and
Will Truett was working overtime
signing up the new members. The
local voted to strike the following
Monday if any more members were
fired for belonging to the union.
Preparations were made. The union
office was opened up on Franklin
avenue in Loray.
The following Monday, April 1
they began firing the union men,

Mail Picked Up on Fly

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Aug. 30
First test pickup of mail by an air
mail pilot has been made here by
Pilot Harry Sievers, who flies on the
Clifford Ball line between Pitts
burgh and Cleveland.
SieverS, in his regular mail plane,
flew low over Lansdowne field here,
let down a cable, hooked into a
pickup chute placed on the field.
and drew up a dummy sack OF mail.
He made several pickups, each one
successful.
On Friday at p. m. the first
actual picking up of air mail on
the fly will take place here when
a pilot of the Ball lines, on his way
from Pittsburgh to Cleveland, will
get the youngstown mail without
landing.
The pickup device was invented
by DR.. Lytel S. Adams of Seattle
and had been demonstrated
throughout the east.
