CITY LAB0RERs
SLAVE 10-HR, DAY
Gastonia in List of II
N. c.. Towns
BY OSMORE EATON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 49,
North Cardinals capital and Is
other cities in the state work their
street laborers on public construc-
ton and repair tasks 10 hours day.
This significant. fact of a sup
posedly enlightened" era of what
President Hoover calls robust in
dividualism," was brought out the
past week by statistics compiled by
Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of
labor statistics under the former
iron puddler," Secretary of Labor
James ]. Davis.
Stewart, in the course of COM
piling figures about labor conditions
in over 1000 cities, discovered that
in 300 of them the men who do con-
struction, repair and cleaning of
streets for the municipalities work
10 hours daily. In many others they
work 9 hours day. The scale of
pay runs from as low as Is cents an
hour in Georgetown, S. c., all the
way through the twenties and thir-
ties. A few cities pay so and 60
cents hourly and one or two pay rs
cents, but there are nearly 1000 that
do not.
Noble Gesture.
An outburst of indignation that
naive people might mistake for real
concern on the part of the capitalist
state for the masses came from
Stewart. He gave out a vigorous
statement and asserted with melo-
dramatic effect that he twas going
to confer with Secretary Davis about
what steps to take"
1t is a safe guess that "Jim''
Davis, the arch-reactionary and be-
trayer of labor through his position
at the head of the ''labor" depart
ment, will do nothing serious to dis
turb his politician-brethren, north
or south.
Even if Stewart meant precisely
what he said, neither the city gov
Iernments of Raleigh and other places
nor the capitalists themselves have
anything to fear from the bourgeois
state of which Emperor Hoover is
now the nominal presiding officer.
Gastonia in List.
The cities in North Carolina in
which worker in the streets must
toll 10 hours day are: Raleigh,
Elizabeth City, Gastonia, Greenville,
Hickory, Kingston, Morganton, New
Bern, Oxford, Rockingham, Rocky
Mount, Sanford, Tarboro, Washing
ton, Dunno and Goldsboro.

CZECH RENEGADE
AIDS BOSSES IN
BIG LAND STRIKE
Sabotages Strug gle
Thru Capitalist Press

PRAGUE, by Nail The rene
gade Hais Expelled from the Com
munist Party) declared to the edi-
tor of the governmental organ "a
Reggel," according to the report OF
that paper, that he and his trade
union leadership had nothing to do
with the strike of the land workers
in Slovakia which he described as a
political strike. The "Pravda"
quotes what Hais writes in his own
organ "The Worker" about the
strike: eve shall not stand idly by
and see the workers driven into
misery, despair and prison, that the
workers are made the playthings of
irresponsible elements. :" The
"Pravda" compares this article with
the contents of a leaflet issued by
the agrarians, social democrats and
by the Hlinka group declaring that
"since 1920 the land workers have
been the plaything of irresponsible
clements" This leaflet issued on
behalf of the ruling class is the at
titude adopted by Hais and his
friends towards the land workers
struggle, and both of them are in
agreement with the Prague Social
Democrat" which writes in its issue
of the 21st of May in exactly the
same spirit about the land workers
strike.
Strike Continues.
The strike of the land workers is
continuing and $4,000 are still out.
The authorities have issued notices
declaring that the struggle is illegal
as new agreement has already been
signed between the land owners and
the reformists. In many districts
the authorities are trying to compel
the workers to return upon the basis
of this agreement. AS these efforts
have proved unsuccessful, the au-
thorities have sharpened their CAM
Ipaign of terror and oppression
against the strikers. The employers
have given notices for the workers
| to leave their houses where these
latter belong to the employers. In
I those cases where the land workers
till part of the land owners ground
for themselves in accordance with
an old custom, employers have
threatened to run tractors over this
ground in order to destroy the crops.
The owners have also shut off the
wells.
The authorities again attempted
to use the infantry regiment No. Z,
which is stationed in Neutra for
strikebreaking work against the
farm laborers. The soldiers refused
to obey their officers and declared
themselves in agreement with the
striking land workers. The regiment
has now been withdrawn. Leaflets
have also been distributed amongst
the gendarmerie calling upon them
not to permit themselves to be mis-
used against the striking workers.
These happenings have caused the
military authorities to confine all
troops in southern Slovakia to bar
racks in order to stop the riot if
possible.

Old Volcano in Japan
in Violent Eruption;
New Zealand Quake

HAKODATE, Japan, June 49,
For the first time since 1856 the
ancient volcano Komagtake burst
into violent eruption today and with
simultaneous earthquakes breaking
out in the surrounding area partly
destroyed two villages and visited
great suffering upon the masses.
A number of workers were reported
injured or missing, while all street
car service was suspended, commu-
nications disconnected, and factor
les closed when, for fear of disas-
ter from the high tension lines the
Cnumu power station was shut
down. Smoke from the belching
cone enveloped a great part of the
peninsula, drifting south to the sea
and yelling Hakodate, 40 miles
away, in a pail of ash. The town
of Sushara was reported in flames.
Refugees crowded the railway sta
tions at Mort and Onumu, although
no trains were running.

WELLINGTON, N. T., June 49,
The most violent earthquake in 10
years rocked the South Island TO-
night, killing at least five persons
in landslides and doing great dam
age to many towns. According to
advices from Auckland, several build
ings collapsed there. The quakes
extended throughout the northern
half of the island. Thousands of
tons of rock blocked up the West
land River and caused heavy dam
age in several nearby sections.

CARNEGIE REPORT
|. ST|RS PROFESSORS
Dean Sanford's Defense OF
College Sports Brings
Heated Debate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
~ URBAN, N. c., December %
The Carnegie report on col
lege athletics, brought up by
~ Dean S. v. Sanford Of the
University of Georgia, plunged
the American Association of University
Professors into a heated two-and-a-h half
hour session As the evils of intercol-
leg1ate athletics were aired by a score
of professors.
DIR. Sanford told the association that
college athletics are here to stay, de-
spite the Carnegie report and its intro
ductory statement, but that the illegal
athletics scholarship must 60. Just be-
cause gate receipts for foot bali games
are big. there is no reason to say the
sport is commercialized, he asserted,
explaining that the income from foot
ball makes possible equipment for other
intercollegiate and intra mural sports.
DR.. Samuel F. Bemis of George Wash
ington University, Washington, chal-
lenged some OF DR.. Sanford's statements.
He asserted that college coaches, dealing
with few men in one branch of sport
only, often are paid $4,000 a year, while
professors, trying to teach the true
things a college was founded for" get
only $4,000.
Dr. John Booker or the University OF
North Carolina then proposed a resolu-
ton commencing the effort of the Car
negie Foundation to expose commercial
ism in college athletics, which threat
ems the extinction of the only real Pon-
tribution Of athletics to education

However, even to one uninitiated and
unSkilled in political maneuvers in con-
ventions of this kind, the set-up GER
tainly should cause some little glimmer
of an idea that something is to be at
tempted in the way of giving the re-
port at least gracious reception. The
program gives no indication Of what. is
to be done about the report; in fact,
does not say anything is to be done
about it, but two of the three places
for feature addresses are allotted to for

DR.. Savage Of the Carnegie Foundation,
whose subject will be Aspects of the
Relation Of Education to College Sport"
and the other by President Frank P

ton to this the prospectus of the meet

graph that the publication of the

mendations concerning the actions con-
sidered desirable"
Council Of High Caliber.
The brilliance of the possible display
OF oratorical pyrotechnics previously
mentioned depends almost entirely on
what kind of recommendations the
council considers desirable. In some
quarters there is feeling that it will
be made a great occasion for the roast
ing and general lambaSting of college
athletics and everything connected with
college athletics; that somebody may
try to throw the hooks Ito use ordinary
street language into the whole PROPOSE

ton and give college athletics as much
of a body-blow as possible. No doubt
there is a small-very small, too-ele-
ment in the faculties of some colleges
who would like to do just that. but the
writer does not take that view of the
situation.
When one glances over the member
ship of the council and sees such names
as w. J. Bingham, director of athletics
at Harvard; Prof. C. w. Kennedy of
Princeton, L. w. st. John, director of
athletics at Ohio State University:
Romeyn Berry, graduate manager OF
athletics at Cornell; Prof. George H.
Nettleton, chairman of Yales athletic
committee: DR.. S. v. Sanford, presi-
dent of the Southern Conference, it
does not seem probable that any recon-
mendations are likely to be made that
in any way might be detrimental to
athletics. In fact, what these men
actually are working for is to find ways
to better college athletics. and 1t is
extremely unlikely that any one of
them would stand for any action seek
ing any other end.
Would Move COnstructively.
Possibly some members of the council
may not be wholly in accord with COL
lege athletics as at present organized
and conducted, but even they would
make no concerted move other than
constructive. However, the situation
in connection with the Carnegie report
is that the report was made at the
request of the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association, and whether its
premises its facts and its conclusions
are good or bad, the report has been
made and 1t simply is a case of now
you have 1t, what are you going to do
with it?"
Not the least doubt exists that the
report has aroused a good deal of
private and Semi-private criticism and
resentment. 1t is the kind of thing
about which those interested hardly
say in public what they say in pri-
vate, because of the fear that any
criticism, however honest, might be
attributed to stepped-on toes It is
not likely that recommendations of the
governing council of the N. C. A. A.
will be such as to cause any public
showing Of this resentment 1t seems
necessary that some action be taken,
but whatever that action may be it is
not likely to cause any such furore
as some expect.
The meetings of the coaches Monday
will cover all phases of foot ball. Dis
cussions Of the technical side Of the
game by men who have achieved the
greatest reputation in teaching 1t are
features each year, while the rules that
govern the game also come in for
criticism and praise.

think 1t Is pretty we'll agreed among
the critics that these eleVens are the
outstanding teams in the country.
Being in this class. 1t is only logical
that Pittsburgh should be given an edge
over Southern California in the New
Year day game.
Southern California has lost two
games this year and Pitt is undefeated
after schedule which included some
pretty tough foot ball opponents. I
therefore think Pitt is entitled to the
role of favorite.
My own squad is in good shape. and,
EARRING injuries IN practice between
now and game time, We should enter the
contest with our full strength. The
players have had plenty of rest since
the Carnegie Tech game, and they
ought to play good foot ball. If they
do as well as know they can, I am
sure every Southern California sup
porter will have reason to be proud OF
his team. whether it wins or loses.
Pittsburgh has two players who have
received countrywide recognition as
all-Americans. They are Donchess,
end, and Parkinson, fullback. Two
others. Uansa, halfback. and Montgom-
cry. guard, have also been named on a
number of mythical teams. Any team
which has four players commanding
all-American honors must be good.

ing that Pittsburgh Is entitled to

ing the coaches changed their plans
for a long rest before the afternoon
practice and allowed the players to
attend a luncheon at the East Lake
Country Club at which Bobby Jones,
national open golf champion, was toast

Later the athletes were taken to the
