EASTERN TEAMS
in NATIONAL TO
MOVE into WEST
BY LEO II. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July IA. WP)-The
casts two leading contenoers for
the 1881 National League pennant
New York and Brooklyn-began a
swing through the west today with
their championship hopes at stake.
In order to stay in the running,
both New York and Brooklyn will
have to break even in their games
against the Cardinals and Cubs and
win a majority of their contests
from Cincinnati and Pittsburgh be-
fore the road jaunt comes to a close.
The Cardinals took advantage of
the Giants and Robins open dates
yesterday by whipping the Cubs, IL
To S, and increasing their leadership
to four and one-half games. Bur-
leigh Grimes, coasting under a big
lead, came out in front under
wraps.
Philadelphia defeated Pittsburgh,
| to 0, in the other National League
game. Don Hursts double, scoring
Klein who had singled, manufac-
tured the winning run for the Phil
lies in the ninth. The contest was
a pitching duel between Jumbo Ell
lott and Ray Kremer Each al
lowed five hits.
Philadelphia retained its six game
lead in the American League by di-
viding a double-header with the
Washington Senators, holders OF
second place. The Athletics won
the first game, 12 to 7, as Lefty
Grove registered his 18th triumph
of the season while Alvin Crowder
pitched the Senators TO TO de-
cision in the night cap.
The Senators pounded Grove
right merrily in the opener but
Groves mates made the game a
rout in the eighth inning when they
scored seven runs, four of them on
home run by Williams, a pinch
hitter, with the bases loaded.
Crowder had little trouble in the
second game while his mates piled
up six runs off Rube Walberg in
the first six innings.
No other games were scheduled in
the American League.

NEW YORK, July IA. U.P)-
Charley Retzlaff, a 1885, pound slug
ger who is storming through heavy
weight ranks in a manner reminis-
cent of Jack Dempsey's climb to
fame, will make his metropolitan
debut tonight In a 10-roInd bout
with Ralph Ficucello of Brooklyn,
lat greensboro stadium.
The 23-year-old Duluth Dyna-
inter" has blasted his way past 80
opponents during his brief profess
sional career, knocking out % foes
without suffering a single defeat.
No less an authority than Max
Schmeling picks Retzlaff as the
next worlds champion, many box

teur champion, is a stiff puncher

Jobless Workers Get 3 Months
Tail for Refusal to Walk

tioral Labor Defense tSed to explain that the
workers we're tired that they had no money,
that they had been unemployed for long period
of time, that there was nothing for them to do
except to get on street car and try to get home
without paying fare.
The workers on trial plainly stated that they
believed that unemployed workers should or
ganize to demand relief from the government Of
the bosses and that II relief was not given the
organized unemployed should help themselves.
That was enough for the Judge. To think
that unemployed workers would not follow the
law end go hungryi The charge was disorderly
conduct The maximum fine was 5000. The
iudoe was extremely sorry that he could not
make the fine any larger. Every one Of the
four workers on trial was fined the maximum,
w'''"h means three and half months in the
workhouse.
The street car company would have lost %
cents Il the four workers had been permitted to
ride free, but as the attorney for the street car
company said: 'It is not so much the % cents,
but the principle involved"
II the unemployed workers will take free
rides on the street cars, then they will take food
without paying for it. They will clothe them
selves at the expense of the owners, they will re-
fuse to be evicted Where will law and order
beP There will be Bolshevism, Communism.
But the unemployed workers are not at all
scared of the conclusion drawn by the street
car companys attorney and the street car COM
pany's Judge They will take free rides, secure
food for themselves prevent evictions. the shut

without any hesitation, Judge ]. F. Mccarthy,
of the, Municipal Court of Chicago, democrat
and faithful servant of the Chicago bosses, gave
his answer The worker must walk. Suppose
the worker is ten miles from home? 1t doesn't
matter, says the honorable judge. The worker
m1rst walk Is he too hungry and tredP What
concern is that to the welfad, well-rested Judge?
The worker must walk.
But it so happened that some workers thought
otherwise These workers figured, and figured
CO. >ctly, that the Chicago City Railway Co.
had made millions of dollars, first by exploiting
the workers in its employ, and second by over
cro--i-,g the workers riding in the street cars.
They thought that since they were tired and
hungry and far from home, they we're perfectly
justified in getting on street car and demand
ing free ride.
But the forces OF the law interviewed. Natur-
ally they would. The law wasn't made to protect
the workers, but to guard the interests of such
millionaires as Blake and insult, who own the
street cars and all means Of transportation.
The workers who demanded free ride soon
found out that to violate the sacred rights OF
private property is very serious matter. Four
of them were arrested and came up for trial
before the very honorable judge, Mccarthy.
The Judge listened attentively to the attorney
for the Chicago City Railway Co. The attorney
explained that it was very serious matter, that
Il workers were to be permitted to get on street
car and demand free rides, then they would go
into warehouses and take food. That was
terrible thing to contemplate. The judge nodded
in fsreement. The attorney for the Interna-

We a group Of American technicians en-
ployed at the Stalngrad Tractor Plant at Stain
grad, U. S. S. r., take exception to the nislead-
ing propaganda that is aiming to influence the
minds of the peoples Of the foreign countries to-
ward the Soviet Union, and at meeting in the
American Colony here on Dec. "a have passed
a resolution to the effect that committee be
elected to draft letter to the foreign publica-
tons denying the accusations.
The letter drafted follows:
Having been afforded the opportunity of liv
ing and working in the U. S. S. r. during this
epoch-making period in the history of the coun-
try, we have witnessed the initial efforts of the
people in their industrial program which, minus
the prevailing enthusiasm of the masses, would
be impossible of accomplishment.
The fantastic reports in foreign publications
and periodicals in regard to dumping, forced Ia
bor religious persecution, murders and arrests
Of high public officials revolts, etc, must be con-
sidered an insult to the intelligence OF the read
ers. Wherever sinister influences are at work
the people will have to use their own judgement;
perhaps the recent trial in Moscow may provide
speculative thought to the workers Of the world;
why intervention should be considered or even
given lowly thought would demand an ex-
PLANTATION, especially when you consider the I'M
qualified support given this regime by all Sec
tons Of Russian workers at this period which
demands their sacrifices and deprivation. Daily
we witness their strengthening force, their sur
mounting OF obstacles that bar their path to the
building Of system that will be beneficial to
the majority of humanity Here in the Soviet
Union are many nations with various languages
and traditions striving under their duly elected
leaders to build workers republic from the
debris Of land torn by revolution and civil
strife Workers free from the oppression of past
generations now glimpse for the first time
true democracy upon the horizon Of the new
world that is aborning Therefore, we ask the
people Of foreign countries to ponder over these
ever-increasng rumors and falsehoods propa-
gated to defame the attempt of nation Of
workers who choose their own destiny and in
fairness stand for the immediate suppression Of
any interventionist policy fostered by any nation
against this nation.

Mooney cases!"

When Bernard Shaw delivered his famous
radio address on the superiority of the Soviet
civilization, Pagacci journalist-like, lifted few
sentences out of their context thus making the
speech sound like bomb throwing scare-head
and wrote an indignant humanitarian sermon
against violence and suppression of freedom as
an integral part Of the Soviet regime
But 1t is the violence and suppression Of free
dom by the courts and police in California that
has kept Tom Mooney in Jail for fifteen years!
Violence and suppression Of working class free
dom are, he must know, essential to the
maintenance of capitalism with its criminal
syndicalism laws, its injunction proceedings, It's
assauting and railroading Of lsboS leaders.
Well the clown does not think about the mass
es; it Is impossible for him to think realistically
and consistently about the masses. No; he was
thinking of his own type of Bohemian parasite.
He was shuddering subconsciously at what is
happening to it in the Soviet Union where work
ers rule.
Nothing expresses so well the tepid vicious
ness of the socialist party of America as the
fact that it is men OF this type who are its
leaders and Spokesman. Norman Thomas phil
osophy blends nicely into Pagliacci's! Sweet
tempered, thrice honorable Norman Thomas $50
they all, honorable mem adds more and
more urine to his Socialism as the years roll
by. In the last election campaign, he was care
full to explain to the masses that, after all, So
cialism simply means democracy, cooperation
good fellowship. Behold the diminutive Mac
Donald!
When the socialist looks at Tom Mooney he
sees prosecuted individual; when the Commu-
mist looks at Tom Mooney, he sees the Glass
Struggle. When the socialist sees single bread
line ViS1IaliZPS a -a-iO til1-,TlIne
pain; the Communist under the same conditions
sees war for real relief and to the finish
between the slaves on the bread lines In all the
nations in the world and their masters in all
the nations in the world.
When the socialist sees Jimmy Walker SO
deeply moved by the injustice done to Tom
Mooney that he hurries to California (stopping
on his way to enjoy Notre Dame football game
to relieve his agony, he chants God speed your
like good Christian.
The Communist is not such a simpering idiot.
He knows that If Jimmy Walker were not max
ing political capital out of the Mooney case
for capitalism he would not be Jimmy Walker;
he would not be Tammany picked Mayor.
What would happen under an American Soviet
government to parasites sophisticated, intellec-
tual clowns, pampered, over-paid journalistic
fungi and pampered lady novelists like Fannie
Hurst (who recently received fat check for a
scurrilous attack against the Soviets in the
tionary Saturday Evening Post) would be the
same thing that is happening to them in Soviet
Russia today: They would do some useful work
or starve!
There would be nothing personal or vindictive
in this attitude any more than there is any-
thing personal or vindictive in the killing of
mosquitoes that breed malaria.
The Soviet bench is made of rough hard
wood; it is not fit for soft, ample behinds.
