Cops Fail To Stop
Daily Worker Sale

The following is received from G.
Nagura, Stockton California:
Since our Daily has entered Stock
ton it is only one month. Some
times we sell all the papers we re-
ceive. A month ago our news ped
dIer was threatened by cops sew
eral times. Once a plain clothes
man approached him and said that
if he didn't get out of the town the
cop would pinch him. Next day
the Daily Worker was sold just the
same.
Since the cops could not find out
the legal method of railroading the
comrade newsboy they tried to find
out where the comrade got his pap
ers-but in vain. Many want to read
it earnestly and are ready to join the
movement"

TIGER HENCHMEN

Radio Mans Family Is
Now Starving
(By a Worker Correspondent

BROOKLYN, N. UT is oppor-
tune to apply the stethoscope of
public opinion to big hearted Tam
many that we may ascertain whether
the driving force is humanity or
political expediency.
1t is not in my nature to make a
"squawk," so what I have to say is
an echo of despair from my wife and
our four children. If do not present
my case, or rather their case, with
sufficient ability lay the cause to a
harrassed state of mind. Writing by
candle-nght in a cold apartment
after dinnerless day of tramping
the sidewalks of New York makes
one that way.
On the thirtieth day of September
I was dropped from the payroll of the
municipal broadcasting t i n
WNYC, while men without the re-
hottest connection with radio were
carried on.
AS past-president of the Veteran
Wireless Operators Association I
make the charge on behalf of other
jobless radio men that the Honorable
Albert Goldman, Commissioner Of
Plant and Structures, has kept and
is keeping men on the radio payroll
who are not alone not qualified but
who do not even remain at the sta
ton for duty if they were capable Of
performing it, to the disgust of the
few good men there who have labored
so futilely to show the Taxpayers
something for their money. These
parasites are shamefully Haunted in
the faces of radio men desperately
anxious to do an honest days work.
I mentioned political expediency. A
position became open through the
resignation of the Broadcasting Sup
ervisor. Who got the job? 1t was a
political appointment to a single
youth whose only qualification was
that of relative to district leader.
Since I have opened the shadowy
precincts of WNYC slightly, let's
throw open the doors and flood the
interior with fresh air and sunshine.
Further revelations along these
lines might better come through less
prejudiced observers and investigators
interested only in getting at the facts.
AS result of these conditions, one
unit of society, the Maher family, has
suffered bitterly.
Is a world-war veteran, man with
wife and four children, entitled to
so little consideration by the City Of
New York?
Is a member Of the Institute Of
Radio Engineers and former radio
editor of the New York Evening
Journal less qualified for job in the
city radio station than ward-heelers?
Talk about Tammany gratitude !
A month before the opening of the
Radio Worlds Fair at Madison
Square Garden, while / was still en-
ployed at WNYC, I personally ar
ranged for an exhibit of the City's
radio activities and worked like ten
men to work out the details. 1t was
the consensus that it was the great
est publicity stunt" ever put over for
WNYC; and it didn't cost the City
nickel.

Finally, three hours late, they be-

East 104th st. police station and at
the West 135th st. station. There was
not even a pretense to distribute at
the other stations.
Onions and Potatoes.
Captain McGrath of the East 104th
st. station had the starving lined up
to file along past desk on the side

each got a paper bag with 20 pounds
of potatoes, two pounds of onions,

Just showed at the hungry workers,

A stew kitchen has been set up at
the city pier on East River, and some
hundreds of double deck spring cots
installed. Here, without mattresses,
jobless who have no place to sleep or
eat will be allowed five days lodging.
In this way the city politicians boast
they have solved the unemployment
problem, for 1900 out of the 100000
jobless in New York.
These "relief measures" are not
only starvation measures for the
great bulk of the hungry jobless. they
are an insult even to those who are
fed-fed for a few days only. More
and more organization is needed, into
the Unemployed Councils, into the
militant unions of the Trade Union
Unity League. to fight for the Work
ers' Unemployment Insurance Bill,
and for immediate relief from the
city treasury. The Insurance Bill
proposed by the Communist Party
demands that the war funds of the
national government and the excess
income of those getting over $4,000 a
year be taken to form a $5,000,000, 900
insurance fund. which shall be

sucks the blood of the anemic unem-
ployed. Tuesday I tramped the length
of Broadway conversing with some OF
the hundreds caught in the net of
Tammany's apple-selling racket.
Every man spoke to without eXcep-
ton, damned Tammany, Walker and
the police. The unemployed are hep
to the racket but cannot help them
selves.
These unemployed men buy an
average of two boxes of apples day.
The number of apples in box varies
between so and 100. The price of each
box is the same, $2.25 now. One fell
low selling at 34th ST. said 1.-THE box
they give you is the box you take

To give the racket momentum the
price per COX or case was started at
SITS. Soon it went to ST. 1t jumped
to $2.25. Another bost in price is
expected momentarily.
The apples must be carted away
somehow. The subways and trolley
lines are closed to the men. To carry
the cases away on their shoulders or
to take a cab are the alternatives.
The distribution center at Harrison
and West SITS. being nowhere near
the crowded selling districts the men
are forced to hire taxi cabs. Then

 Tommy Blanchard had another good day on the mound for the West Ends and as result the Senecas connected for only four safe hits. On the other hand the winners gathered 1 5 safe blows off the offerings ot Massey and Trus!l, the latter being Junior league hurler.
 The pitching of the Seneca moundsmen was not as bad as the batting record of the West Ends would indicate, many of the blows going for hits because of poor field ing.
 AS an example of this, hit made by Fink in the first inning can be cited. The West Ends left fielder hit a pop fly that landed within five feet of second base but there was no Seneca player within 20 feet of the ball when it struck the ground
 The West Ends managed 10 com bine a couple Of hits Of this nature with a few solid blows and Seneca errors in the first three innings 10 pile up enough runs to gain such a substantial lead that they merely coasted through the last few fra ames. Four of the West Ends took ad = vantage of the situation and fattened up their batting averages by col lecting three hits piece, Blanchard got a. trio of safe blows, one being a long home run to right field. Fink also blew himself to three hits. send ing one clout far over the screen in center field. Erickson and Cormier were the other West Enders to get three hits.
 The Senecas' hitting was confined to the efforts of Nedwick and John ston. each Of these players getting q pair of safe blows. Nedwick smacked one hard enough to allow him to make three bases.
 The feature of the game was the pitching of young Trusk during the last two innings, He faced eight bat ters and famed four He was nick ed for two scratch hits but did not yield run.

Sokols 11-Holy Cross ?

In a game that developed into a farce because of the lack of pitching for the Holy Cross, the Sokols cop ped an easy win by the score of II to 2. This was the second game on Diamond No. l.
 krystopa, regular Holy Cross pitcher, failed 10 show up and Zuiko ascended the mound for the team He proved no mystery at all for the Sokols and they pounded his offer ings for IS hits and scored Il runs.
 The Sokols scored four in the first on four hits and several errors They added four in the second, one in the third. two in the fourth and then fooled away the last two innings. The game was ended at the end of the seventh. The Holy Cross made their only scoring bid in the second when they got two runs on walk, a hit batsman, a passed ball and an inield out.
 The losers gave the winners very little competition in the game.
 Partska was on the mound for the Sokols and he wasn't extended in the least. He was touched for only four hits. Zuiko went the route for the losers.
 Wilcenski, Dobrowolski Suilick and Tronoski each got two hits for the Sokols. None of,the Holy Cross players got more than one bingle.
 The summary:
