HOSPITAL DAY OBSERVANCE IS
 CREDIT TO CITY
Governor and Father La vasseur Deliver Instruc-
 tive Addresses

The observance of Hospital Day at St. Ann's and the Government hospitals yesterday was creditable to the community and the hospitals There was a good attendance by the people of Juneau, particularly at St. Ann's. The addresses at St. Anns by Gov Parks and the Rev. MT LaVasseur were instruc- tive, appreciative and appreciated
 Gov Parks discussed hospitaliza- tion in Alaska, dwelt upon the wonderful work that is being done in the hospitals of the North and the need for more hospitals in sec- tions of the. Territory that are far removed from those we now have,
 Father LaVasseur traced the his- tory of the growth of hospitals. He declared that more has been learn ed and practiced in caring for the afflicted in the last half century than had been developed in all the time before. He paid tribute to those who contributed to hospitals and thus toward the alleviation of the suffering of those who need care for body and mind.
 Many of those who were at St. Ann's and participated in the pro gram there as contributors to the entertainment and as auditors, in- cluding Father La Vasseur, went to the Government hospital where there was musical program Coffee and tea and cake were serv- ed at beth hospitals.
 "The Sister Superior, the Sisters and Nurses of St. Ann's Hospital, said Sister Superior Mary Ludo- wick today, "desire to extend their heartfelt appreciation to all whc in any way contributed so gracious ly towards the success of 1881, Ma tional Hospital Day"

Knight, Khara, Black Majesty and other two-year- olds earned more money in 1929 than Gallant Fox.
 So we must not conclude that the championship for 1881 must necessarily go to Equipose. Mate Back Log, Baba Kenny, Epthet, Risque, Siskin Poly dorus Twenty Grand, Sovietta, Vanderpoo, Ques- tionnaire, Surf Board, Anchors Awegh and other colts made flint records last year All of them ought to qualify as first class three-year olds this year.
 However as a matter of fact, there is always more than an even bet that there will be no out standing champion like Salvator, Sysonby, Colin, Man O War Norwich, zev Crusader High Strung, Blue Larkspur Gallant Fox were in their re- spective days.

ference called by the United Front

cussion emphasized the Importance
of this conference as a step in the
direction Of uniting the ranks of the

DRESSMAKERS
Situation In Trade to
Be Discussed

A branch meeting of dressmakers
living and working in the Bronx will
be held tonight at pm. at Ambas-
sador Hall, 1915 Third Ave, Bronx.
At this meeting, the dressmakers will
discuss the present situation in the
trade and the policy of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union to-
ward the expiration of the agree
ment.
The Industrial Union has taken
the initiative in calling the dress
makers to unite. At a mass meeting
held at Cooper Union, some time
ago, the United Front movement was
initiated and the United Front Com
nittee organized. The Industrial
Union now points out that it is the
task of the members of the company
union to raise the question of unity
at their shop and local meetings, and
to take steps to organize rank and
file committee which will work to-
gether with the United Front Com
mittee and the Industrial Union in
mobilizing the workers to meet the
challenge of the bosses and organize
a real struggle under the leadership
of the United Front Rank and File
Strike Committee.

Bronx Jobless Will
March on Bor0 Hall
With Demands Nov. 2

NEW YORK.-More and more cases
of starvation, of eviction, of lack Of
necessities are presenting themselves
daily in the Bronx. At present the
Bronx has an unemployed army of
almost 100000. In vain have many
of these cases presented themselves
before the charity and relief COM
mites. Nothing was done.
These hungry families must be fed.
And the boro administration which
has enough money for every sort Of
employed Councils and the Commu-
graft and yet refuses to spend any
money on the destitute cases must
be forced to do so. Only the IN
mist Party can and will lead the
workers in this struggle. To this
leadership thousands of workers must
rally. When the unemployed delega-
ton presents the immediate demands
of the unemployed and employed
workers to the Bero Hall administra-
ton, there should be solid phalanX
of thousands of workers backing this
delegation.
Every unemployed worker in the
rronx. should meet in front of 34e
Z. 149th Street on Monday, Nov 2.
"a. m. From there they will march

Bosses Fear Council
Fearing the growing influence and
activity of the Unemployed Council
the bosses and city officials have
started a campaign to block the
growing effectiveness of the Council.
Y. Becker and ]. Peer, leaders of the
demonstration of January 16, 1891,
for unemployment relief have been
jailed.
The bosses have sought to counter
and head off the movement for cash
unemployment relief by starting a
100000 campaign, most of which
will be mulcted from the workers
still in the factories. However, thru
their bitter experience the unemploy-
ed here know that very little of the
money that is collected will ever
reach them.

MOONEY DEFENSE
FUNDS SLACKEN
Or G a nizations Should
Send In Pledges

The campaign to free Tom Mooney,
tAs Harlan miners, the Scottsboro
boys, the, five Paterson silk workers
and all other class war prisoners,
which was launched at an enthusiast
tie mass conference on October II,
is being seriously threatened by the
failure of most of the organizations
that pledged funds to the campaign
to pay their pledges.
The New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense, which
called the conference, points out that
of the more than $500 pledged, very
little has thus far been received. The
LID. statement declares:
''The united front campaign led by
the LID. to force the release of
Mooney, the Harlan miners and all
other militants now in Jail, is to be
a campaign not of words and paper
resolutions, but of deeds. This ives
the spirit of the October IL confer
ence. at which $50 delegates, repre-
senting 189 organizations we're pres
ent. The fake campaign started by
the Socialists, A. F. of L. bureau
Gratis and se-called progressives at
a conference September "a, which
excluded all LID. delegates, has al
ready come to an end AS we stated
at the time, the sole purpose of this
fake campaign was to confuse the
workers with lot of noise and to
cripple the mass movement for Moo
ney and the other class warpriseners.
But the real united front Mooney
Harlan-Scottsbor campaign must &c
on! 1t cannot go on unless the Or
CARNATIONS fulfill their pledges and
enable the machinery to function
properly. We appeal to these organi-
cations and to their membership to
send in their pledges at once to the
district LID. office, 799 Broadway,
Room 40, New York. Join the move
ment to free cur imprisoned comrades

.Iiberator Plans
Drive for 10000
New Subscriptions

NEW YORK.-For six weeks be-
ginning Nov. l, the Liberator,
weekly organ of the League OF
| Struggle for Negro Rights, will en-
gage in an intensive campaign to
attain a 10000 added circulation
5000 new subscriptions, and 5000
in new bundle orders.
The drive, involving L. S. N. r.
groups, trade unions, language and
fraternal organizations, and unem-
ployed councils, comes in the midst
of the latest brutal attacks upon
the Negro workers. In Cleveland
recently, two unemployed Negro
workers demonstrating against an
eviction, we're murdered by the pe-
lice; in Warren, another jobless
Negro worker was shot down; the
latest frame-up case that of Willie
peterson in Birmingham, Ala, is
being Matched by the Southern
white bosses; the Camp Hill and
Scottsboro cases are being fought
by masses of Negro and white
workers turnout the country and
the whole world.
Quotas by districts, as well as
charts showing the progress of the
drive, will be published weekly in
the Liberator. One of the chief
aims of the campaign is to root
the Liberator in the South, and in
such industrial centers as Detroit,
Chicago, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New
York.

FOR 2 BOY REDS
Sentence Colo. Youths
for Anti War Work

Sol Greenberg and Michael Shant-
sek, l9-year-eld members of the
Young Communist League in Den
yer, Colorado, have been sentenced
to 20 years. prison on the charge of
having distributed anti-war leaflets
at the Citizens Military Camp in
Fort Logan.
When the boys were caught they
were severely beaten by the army
officers and then turned over to
American Legionites for further tor
ture. Then they were held ineom-
municado for two days in the guard
house and seven days in the county
Jail.
The conviction Is based on the
Colorado Anareh- Sedition Act, which
was passed in 1921 during the post
war hYsteria and only used now for
the first time,
At the first hearing, Oct. 49, Green,
berg pleaded his own case. They will
be brought up again in February be-
fore the jury. Meanwhile the In
ternational Labor Defense has Sc
cured their release on $4,000 bail
each. The Young Communist League
and the International Labor Defense
are beginning a nationwide cam
paign to save these boys from liv-
ing death. This most vicious sem
tence compares favorably with those
that were handed out by the Rus
