PIONEERS SCORE ATTACK
ON The CHILDREN'S CAMP

NEW YORK.-The New York
District of the Young Pioneers of
America has Issued statement
scoring the raid and arrests at the
Van Fitch camp for workers Gill
dren, conducted by the Workers In
ternational Relief. The resolution
says:
These attempts at forcing the
workers children to replace their
Red Pioneer banner with an Ameri-
can flag have failed. The sheriff,
deputies and state highwaymen, all
part of the boss-controlled govern
ment which assisted these hood
lums, are pretending to prevent
attacks. The truth is that they re-
alize that if they allow these
bosses thugs to destroy the camp
and hurt any of the children it will
only serve to increase the rage of
the workers of the entire country
against the bosses, and they are
therefore trying to prevent trouble.
The workers and their children of
the entire country must unite and
protest these attacks of the bosses
against the only workers children's
organizations, the Young Pioneers
of America.

PAYROLLS WERE CUT 10
p. C. IN JULY ADMITS
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Automobile Industry in Threatening" COndi-
ton AS Market Shrinks
Steel Bosses Admit Their Predictions Fall Flat;
Bitter Winter Ahead

24.3 per cent below the same per-
iod in 1929; 800 per cent below
1928, and 5S,S per cent below 1927.
A telegram from Pittsburgh
Aug. 16) to the Evening Post,
smashes the predictions of a month
ago issued by the Board of Direc-
tors of the U. S. Steel Corporation
that production would turn upward
in August. The dispatch says;
steel men of the Pittsburgh
district make a less favorable ap-
praisal of conditions and pros
poets now than thirty days ago.
Then they were in a mood to ex-
pect both seasonal improvement
in steel and improvement in gen.
eral business, whereby steel would
enjoy double Improvement.
Signs of both should be visible by
this time if they were to come,
and such signs are lacking"
AS the crisis grows worse in the
U. S, and throughout the world, the
bosses make more frantic efforts
for foreign markets. Thus far they
have met tremendous reverses. In
July foreign trade dropped 80 per
cent below 1929. Exports for the
first seven months of the year were
S680,629,000 under those of the
same period last year, while i'm
ports were S684,477000 less.
With the closing down of what
little building activities there are
in the fall and winter, with the
certainty of lower steel production,
lower output of automobiles, wors-
ened agrarian crisis, increasing I'M
employment, wage cuts, the condi-
tons of the workers in the United
States this winter will be worse
than ever before in the history of
the country.
Unemployment this winter will be
well over the 100000 mark.
Worse still, most of these workers
will have been out of work for a
year more. Their resources have
already disappeared. Starvation be-
comes a stark reality for all work
ers. Both unemployed and en-
ployed must be modified for a de-
termined fight to push through the
Workers Social I~-urance Bill,

A huge slice was taken off the
payrolls in all industries during
July, according to the latest report
of the U. S. Department of Labor.
Employment, in July, dropped ass
per cent, but payrolls were cut
q75 per cent! The cut in payrolls
has continued month after month,
since the stock market crash. But
in one month nearly 10 per cent
was slashed off of wages, indicating
wholesale wage-cutting for the
workers still left on the job and
widespread part-time employment.
Here is but one indication of the
fact that the crisis is becoming
sharper. The Annalist index of
business activities has dropped to
nearly the lowest level of the 1921
% crisis. And this at period
when the crisis was supposed to be
leasing off"
All basic industries are effected.
Regarding the auto plants, about
which so many roseate statements
were made early this month, the
Annalist has this to say:
Conditions in the automobile
industry may reasonably be con-
sidered rather threatening. For
the remainder of this year, at any
rate, it seems clear that the
manufacturers will be able to sell
only very moderate percentage
of their output capacity; and even
though the present business situa-
ton is a depressant of unusual
force, all the circumstances of the
industry indicate that the market
for automobiles has practically
reached the saturation point as
measured by population, and that
some diminution of manufactur-
ing capacity will presently be
forced by the disproportion be-
tween profits and overhead"
Here is a promise of permanent
unemployment for thousands more
of auto workers, and no indication
of immediate "alleviation" of the
crisis in this important basic in
dustry.
Latest figures for building activ-
tiles also show severe declines. Con-
tracts awarded for the first eight
days of August showed a decline of

ADMIT WHALEN
PAPERS FORCED
White Guard Tries to
Say Reds" Did 1t

NEW YORK.-Yesterday the Of
ficial interpreter of the Fish Com
mittee admitted to the press that
the Whalen documents are forgeries
The interpreter is Gregory Bernad-
sky, owner of a gambling den at 1873
West 18th St., and a close asso-
ciate of Congressman Carl Bachman
of the Fish Committee during its
hearings in New York. Bachman
brought Bernadsky to the sessions;
Bernadsky sat with the committee
and prompted Bachman in his quiz
zing of Amtorg officials. Bernad-
sky is also the president of a pub
fishing company that has just put
out the first issue of a magazine
called "The American Observer"
which contains a long article by Fish
and a full page advertisement Of
U. S. Commissioner Chas. Wood
According to two New York police
inspectors, Bernadsky was a great
help to Whalen, and is an agent of
the U. S. Department of Justice.
Bernadsky now says that the docu-
ments were forged by the Amtorg
officials themselves, and that Police
Commissioner Whalen's spies were
allowed to steal them to discredit
Whalen. AS "proof" of this, Ber-
nadsky says the names are wrong
in the documents, that Bogdanov,
head of the Amtorg, denounced them
as forgeries without making an in
vestigation to see whether they were
or not, and that Yassowa, the man
WHO had the forgeries printed in
Max Wagner's printing plant has
gone to the Soviet Union.
Origin of the Forgeries
The facts are that Yassowa did
indeed have the Moscow letter heads
on which the documents were forged
printed in Wagner's shop in New
York, but Yassowa is member of
the staff of Russian monarchist
paper, Novoye Russkaya Slovo, and
Wagner accuses Bernadsky of &C.
companying Yassowa. When things
got hot, Yassowa did indeed flee to
Europe, but hardly to the Soviet
Union. The documents were hawket
around to various newspaper office:
before Whalen took them and pub
lished them, receiving them from
Ralph Easley and Matthew Woll Of
the National Civic Federation. Pub
LEGATION of these forged documents
and Whalen's defense of them was
the occasion for the appointment Of
the Fish Committee ("Congressiona
Committee to investigate Commu.
nism in America").

One of the headline lacrosse
matches of the season is eX-
pected to materialize tomorrow
when the Maryland stickmen in
wade Baltimore to tackle Johns
Hopkins. The game will be
played in the Baltimore stadium,
starting at o'clock, Eastern
daylight saving time.
The Hopkins team occupies the
top niche in the Indian sport as
the result of its conquest of ST,
Johns last Saturday. Previously
the Johnnies gave Maryland its
only setback. Now the Old
Liners realize they can get back
in the championship scramble by
winning tomorrow's game and are
prepared for a do-or-die fight.
The Old Line team sat in
the stands as Hopkins beat
the Johnnies and the knOwl-
edge and insight they gained
of the style of play of their
opponents isn't going to do
them a bit Of harm.
The keen rivalry that always
exists in every athletic contest
between Maryland and Hopkins

BETTER MINES
IS REASON
IN PART
Bv GARRETT WATERS


The question has come up which
league plays the fastest ball IN
the five weekday circuits now
carrying on their schedules daily
on the Monument and Union Sta
ton diamonds.
Some say it Is the Government
League, others the Terminal Y,
while others think it is the
Georgetown Church and Depart
mental, with the Industrial
League last.
The question narrOwS down
to the Government and
Terminal Y circuits. Both
leagues have played some
mighty fast ball to date,
which means that quite a
number of real games have
been the rule and there are
better teams in the two cir
cults than in any of the
others.
To play the fastest ball means
either of those two things. Start
ing at Sis p. m. the teams mus
play at a furious clip in order
to get in nine innings. Most of
the league haven't been able to
get that far but the Government
and Terminal have had several
on their books.
One game went even ten IN
nings recently in the Government
League, which means that the
teams must have played some up
to-the-minute baseball to &C.
