South could not safely bid three hearts be-
cause the conventional meaning of that would
be the Tatifying of North's spade bid, promise
OF slam and guaranty CT no heart losers,
perhaps void heart suit. No trump might
be considered, but in that event the oppo-
nents might run the club suit. A double
would probably give East q chance to do what
was apparently the purpose Of the heart bid
escape into jumped bid of clubs to take
small penalty, or perhaps make score against
pair of which one player was badly fooled by
the first bid
South, when this hand was actually played
decided to bid four hearts, one more than
necessary, to make it perfectly clear to his
partner that he had q good heart suit. At
this everybody passed. When the king OF
hearts showed up m the dummy South was
now sure East had heart blank, or at least
sncftage. This, of course proved mistaken,
and the side was down plenty Of tricks.
Had South doubled, West probably would
have taken out in three clubs, which would be

This leaves the ace and jack Of diamonds
IN dummy, the jack Of spades and nine Of
diamonds with declarer. East must discard
from the king deuce CT diamonds and the
spade king. II he throws the spade South
takes in the spade jack and diamond ace for

leads the diamond and gets the last two tricks

NORTH

Against three no trump West made one
Of those short-suit openings affected by many
present-day players against no trump when
they have tenace positions in the other suits.
It was the ten Of clubs which Castle took
with dummy's king Good management was
required to pun out the game. Reading the
lead correctly, he hnessed the club eight sue
cessfully, led the diamond three to VESTS king
and on the return spade lead to East's ace,
dropped his jack to unbiock the suit. The
heart six was offered to Vests king, club led
TO the ace, the club jack raked in, the ace Of
hearts LED and then the spade deuce 10 the
eight in dummy.
This left dummy with the king, ten and nine
Of spades and the diamond ace, South with
two hearts and two Diamonds, West with the
queen and seven of spades and two diamonds.
All that was needed to assure game was 70
cash dummy's spade king and lead another
spade to the queen of West. The latter would
have nothing to return but = diamond, 50
spade would produce the game trick.
Instead Of this, however, Castle momenta-
ftly failed to realize that he had put dummy
I'm the lead he had planned to do, so he
led diamond from bis hand to dunnmy's ace.
The king Of spades now was the last trick he
could get, for the concluding two went to
VESTS spade queen ard diamond jack A fine
sob Of planning had gone to waste, also top
score on the hand and for the nights play.
Frank Castle gets so many top scores, though,
that he can spare this one.

an agreement with the Clothing
Manufacturers Exchange of Roches-

the conditions of the workers, The
same agreements are planned for
all other clothing markets in the
United States.
The Rochester agreement calls for

day. The signing Of this agreement
by the Anaigan1ated officialdom now

In Rev York and Philadelphia, led

Of Negro workers and for equal pay
for equal work, is direct knife-stab-

needle industry who are fighting for
better conditions.
The clothing workers Of Rochester
are organizing to stop the onslaught
Of the bosses and their agents. The
last strike of $500 workers in the
Fashion Park Clothing Shop goes to
prove that the Rochester tailors will
no longer submit to the betrayals of
Hillman and company, but will or
ganize and strike for better condi-
tions under their own leadership.

NILK STRIKERS
STILL FIGHT ON

BROOKLYN, N. Y.--While the
strikers were holding the meeting at
the Borough Park Labor Lyceunl,
42nd and i4th Ave, few gorillas
hired by the Mckay Milk Co. pune
tured all the tires OF the five cars
parked in front Of the Boro Park
Labor Lyceunn. Scabs hired by the
Milk Co. are spreading rurnors to the
very few customers that they have
left that a few men were discharged
for stealing funds from the company
which is a false statement.
The strikers appeal to all workers,
housewives in particular, to bear in
mind that all other rumors are false,
and therefore to cooperate with them
by not accepting any milk until the
regular drivers with union buttons
Will notify them otherwise.

SCHOOL LIBRARY
DRIVES FOR BOOKS
Open to Workers for
Study and Training

The Ruthenberg Library of the
Workers School is now launching a
campaign for books. All workers are
urged to cooperate.
The Ruthenberg Library, in addi-
ton to the many valuable volumes
bequeathed by C. E. Ruthenberg, the
leader of the Communist movement
in the United States, has increased
its collection of books. The Library
is open to the students of the Work
erS School as well as to all workers.
1t has helped tremendously the ideo-
logical development and practical
struggle of the workers.
The Library Committee, in view of
the increasing number of workers
using the Library and the need of a
larger and more complete collection,
has started the campaign for con-
tribution of books. Practical plans
have been worked out. Workers are
urged to contribute books to the Lii
brary where they can be more ex-
5ensively utilized. Books, periodicals.
pamphlets regarding the class strug-
gle are welcome. Books written by
Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stain, Ruthen-
berg and other revolutionary leaders
are especially needed.
All books and pamphlets should be
sent to the Library Committee, Work
ers School, 1880 E. 18th ST., New
York City. Those wio have a large
quantity of books to contribute should
come into contact with the Workers
School as soon as possible. The
phone number of the Workers School
is Alg. Aldo.
