Lloyd Brown is slated to re-
place Ad Liska as a starting
Washington club pitcher. Tenn

enough to warrant being worked
in rotation. But Liska, normally
Steadiness personified, has fal-
tered Realizing the value of eff
fective singing at this stage of
the race, Manager Walter John,
son has decided to substitute
Brown for the youthful subma-
riner.. Says Johnson:
"SOme day soon Pm conf
dent Ad will start shooting
worthwhile ball. Until then
I'm going to hold him in re
serve-prObably using him in
relief turns until he hits his
stride!"
In recent appearances Brown,
who was waylaid with stomach
trouble not long ago, has shown
signs of returning to form. And
should he regain his stride at
this stage of the race, Walter
Johnsor's pitching problem would
be automatically solved.
Dave Harris slugging has reg
istered! Manager johnson today
announced that he had definitely
decided upon a West-Harris out
field shift hereafter.
Against righthanders West will
go to center field. When south
paws are worked Rice will shift
to the mid-section, while Harris
patrols right.
"LOepp is a nice ball player"
Walter confessed while definitely
announcing this arrangement.
'But Harris hard hitting can't
be passed up. This club needs
SIugger. And so long as
Dave can belt that ball he will
stay put-nO doubt about
that"

and things will be over with the
second series start a matter of a
game between Vermont Avenue

Grace Episcopal victory, however,
will necessitate a third game with
the second series inaugural pro-

derS of Carl Wahler, will

hopes this afternoon when
the Tile Settlers are met in
the Industrial League. Stop
the Tile Settlers might be said
to be the cry of teams in this
league also, as that club has
set, the pace SO far this
season, winning the first half
in easy fashion.
Wahler is the pitcher that can
halt the first half winners, if,
like Thompson of the Aggies in
the Departmental League, he is
right, And when Wahler is good
he is invincible with a capital I.
He showed his worth in the first
series when he won every game
his Hibbs nine registered, pitch
ing q five-hit contest on one oc-
casion, allowing no hits for the
first five innings and tanning II
of Is men to face him.
A win for the Hibbs tossers
today will throw joy into the
hearts of all other teams in the
race as well as themselves, as the
Tile Settlers have become the de-
spised club of the circuit because
of their ability to come from be-
hind to win, or start out with a

CALL MEET OF
OFFICE WORKERS
To Fight Against Lay
offs, Wage-Cuts, etc.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-There are
10000 Office workers in the city of
New York alone that are part of the
vast army OF unemployed. The
agencies are damned, they return the
workers away by the hundreds-for
months now they haven't even both
cred registering the applicants. In
the American Employment Agency
on East And Street, hundreds of
boys and girls stand by the hour in
jam worse than the subway waiting
for the neasly one or two jobs that
may be handed out.
Not only the unemployed Office
workers but the employed Office
workers are suffering. In the Bel
la Hess Company, large mail order
house employing 1000 Office workers,
where the average wage is ten or
twelve dollars a week, the hours have
been increased from forty-four a
week to fifty-two. These workers are
forced through the threat of losing
their jobs to accept these longer
hours. to accept speed up and cuts
in wages. After Christmas, when
the mail order season is over. many
hundreds of these workers will also
be added to the ranks Of the unem-
ployed.
The Office workers will not be con-
tent with this situation, unemployed
will not be satisfied with merely
waiting at the agencies. The en-
ployed will not be satisfied with
longer hours, speed-up and wage
cuts.
The once Workers Union calls
upon all unemployed Office workers to
organize into an Unemployed Council
to fight against these conditions. A
series of open air meetings are being
held at the City Employment Agency,
and leaflets are being distributed st
the employment agencies and other
places where unemployed Office work
ers come together for a mass meeting
Of unemployed Office workers which
is being called for today, December
Is, at Labor Temple. l4th Street and
Second Avenue, at 1890 p. M. where
an unemployed council will be
formed. All unemployed Office work.
ers are urged to attend this meeting.

BANK OFFICIAL STOPS
SALE OF DAILY WORKER
(By a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK .-Yesterday went to
the corner of 115th st. and Fifth Ave.
to sell the Daily Worker.
A big line of workers were trying
to get into the Manufacturers Trust
Company bank to withdraw their saw
ings. They were mostly Spanish
workers. All were in dread of losing
their savings.
AS soon as l reached the corner the
workers eagerly began to buy the
Daily Worker to get the truth on the
collapse of the bosses banks. I'M
mediately a policeman came over and
attempted to drive me away. How
ever, he did not succeed, but at that
moment bank official came rushing
and frantically demanded that be
stopped from selling that d
paper"
He ran to the corner and bought
copies of the Jewish Day and For
ward and screamed at me 'see what
these papers say and look what your
paper says"
'"Well," I answered, those papers
are lying and you know they are
lying"
At this point police surrounded me
and forced me away, but the workers
followed me anxious to obtain the
Daily Worker and get the truth of
the matter.

Agreement He Made

NEW YORK.-The Republic Ups
holstering Co. of Seventh ave. and
18th ST.. Brooklyn. where the workers
led by the Trade Union Unity League
won strike against piece-work and
against Is per cent wage-cut last
week, locked out its employees yes
terday.
Saturday the boss announced that
ne was going to reorganize his shop.
Yesterday he locked out the whole
crew of 40, with the exception OF
four or five he has bribed to stick.
The boss wants to discharge the lead
ers of the struggle of last week and
wants to return to piece-work. He
has not yet repeated his demand for
the wage-cut, but that will certainly
come if he has his way about dis
elimination and the piece rates.
The agent of Local rs of the Up
hclsterecs, Carpet and Linoleum Me-
chanics International Union of North
America tAFL.) came down and has
reported that there is no strike"
This indicates that the A. F. of L.
thinks it all right to scab there.
The locked out workers are deter
mined to fight. They call on all fur
niture workers and unemployed up
'holsterers to come down and help
picket.
One of the bosses, Sam zelden, is
very active in the Worklnen's Circle.

WORKERS RELIEF
BAZAAR JAN. 2, 3
Collect Funds for the
Many Struggles

NEW YORK.-The Needle Trades
Industrial Union. affiliated with the
revolutionary Trade Union Unity
League, is preparing strike in the
dress trade in an effort to improve
the intolerable conditions existing
there. The Unemployed Councils are
laying the basis for a mass hunger
march of the unemployed from New
York City to Albany, to protest
against the misery that capitalism
forces upon the working class, and
to lay before the state legislature
the Unemployment Insurance Bill
initiated and sponsored by the Com
munist Party of the U. S. A.
These are but two Of the outstand-
ing incidents in the chain of strug-
giles of the workers for better work
ing and living conditions. In these
struggles, it is of prime Importance
for the workers to secure relief. Such
relief can come only from organiza-
tons sympathetic with the struggles
Of the workers.
The Workers International Relief
is the specific agency of the working
class movement for the mobilization
and organization of relief in all such
struggles. 1t has raised tens of thou
sands of dollars in strike and strug-
gle relief in the Gastonia strike, in
the furriers' strike, in the shoe work.

camps for workers children, etc.

FAKE RELIEF PLAN SHOWS
MANY CARPENTERS IDLE


NEW YORK.--Following out the
plan of Hoover and the employers
that the workers, not the bosses,
shoul dpay for whatever relief is
given the unemployed, the district
council of carpenters has recon-
mended to all local unions here that
each working member be taxed ST. a
week for the emergency of contin-
gent" fund. The method of dis
tributing this money to the jobless
Is not indicated. There is very grave
suspicion on the part of the work
ers and unemployed that most of it
will never reach the jobless.
Local 285 has adopted the motion
to tax. All those who do not appear
and register as jobless twice week,
Monday and Thursday, are to be
taxed. At the first date for regis
tration, yesterday, the line was so
big that many could not get in. 1t
seems that most of the local is out
of work.

pressed. The feudal landlords and
the native capitalists have recently
come to an agreement with the Gug-

Just filed in the case of Guido Serio,
by Carol Weiss King, attorney for
the International Labor Defense,
both proving without any doubt that
"the United States government is set
on deporting Serio to Italy instead
of letting him depart voluntarily to
the Soviet Union. MusSolini wants
him because of Serio's intelligent and
effective activities against the fas-
cist government, and if he gets him
back to Italy death is undoubtedly
what Serio will face there"
In the letter to Senator Shipstead.
who's had inquired why Serio is be-
ing deported, Kerry E. Hull of the
Bureau of immigration replied that
the United States government is de-
porting him back to Italy because
Serio believes in, advises, advocates
or teaches the duty, necessity or pro-
priety of the unlawful assaulting or
killing of any officer or officers
(either specific individuals of off,
GERS generality of the government of
the United States, or of any other

ment continues, sis deliberate lie

deliberately say an attempt of a
frame-up' since the Department OF

own ao-called findings"
In the brief filed before Judge
Bondy, the attorney for the I. L. D.
pointed out, there remains then the
findings of personal belief in violence
and advocacy of killing of officials
and destruction of property. Serio
believes, as he makes clear, in the
Soviet form of government.
In the letter to Senator Shipstead
the Commissioner General entirely
evaded the demand of the I. L. D.
to know the reason why Serio is not
permitted to leave this country vol
unfairly, but states brazeniy that
welfare and protection are best Sc
cured (meaning the U. S. govern
ment's welfare) by the aliens de-
portation to Italy," which is an open
admission that the United States is
seeking the execution of Serio and
that Mussolini is the man appointed
by the boss class to carry out the
job.
The International Labor Defense
is carrying on vigorous mass cam
paign against the murder of Serio
and asks all militant organizations
to rally to the support of this worker.
