The Brooklyn Laundry Owners AS

Jacc5 Mellon, former president of
the association, has organized COM
pany union. Under the name of
Equity Laundry League they have
opened offices at 1901 Ave, M, Brook
lyn. They ask so cents a month dues,
but they let you stay for 3 month
trial period free.
The purpose of the Equity Laundry
League is to wipe out the old no
ton of opposed interests" and
strengthening of friendly relations
between employers and drivers" In
other words, whereas formerly drivers
organized to stop wage cuts, firing
and bad conditions, the Equity
League will stop the workers from
organizing, will help the bosses to put
over their schemes, and will, besides,
be a racket to milk the public and
raise prices.

PIONEER MEET TO
ORGANIZE FIGHT
FOR CHILDREN
Every Workers Group
Should Send It's
Delegates

TIE Young Pioneers is calling a
conference of al working class or
CARNATIONS, teachers and sympathi-
GERS Of the revolutionary movement,
for the purpose Of centraIiSirg all
children's and to begin in earnest a
struggle for the benefit of the work.
ing class children.
This conference will be held at the
Workers Center, IS E. 18th ST., on
Sunday, November l, at II am, and
all working class organizations should
be represented. This is conference
which will affect the lives Of the
millions Of children of the city and
country.
Hoover admitted on May 1, that
there are 100000 undernorished
children in the country. In the city
of New York according to the Asso-
citation for the Improvement of the
Conditions of the Poor, so to 10 per
cent of the children are undernour-
ished. This situation will become
worse-with part time becoming the
rule for the workers who still have
Jobs, with unemployment on the in
crease, with the last savings of the
few fortunate workers stolen and lost
in the bank failures, that are in
creasing in number.
At the same time, and directly
coming out of this is the growing
danger of war in the very near fut-
ure. The bosses have found and can
find no solution for the crisis, and
therefore war will be the outcome.
The situation in Europe and in Man
churia-the decisions of the League
of Nations, the conversations" of
Laval, Hoover and Bruening, show
clearly that the imperiaist powers
are preparing for armed invasion of
the Soviet Union.
The children are being prepared
for the outcome of these converse
tons" Boy and girl scouts, military
training camps, more militaristic dis
play. The president of Rhode Island
College declares that universal mil
itary training for the youth will be
the best safeguard against radical
ism"
We must draw the lessons from
this:
/. They ar pretending to be doing
everything possible to aid the unem-
ployed in the crisis, but this "aid''
means starvation for the masses.
2, They pretend to be establishing
milk stations for the children Of the
working class, but this is all bunk.
3. They pretend that they are dis
arming, but they want military train
ing for the youth.
Our answer must be:
l. Observation-Disclosures orgari-
zation-of the working class children
to fight for food, clothing, carfare
for the children.
2. Organization to fight against
the anti working class propaganda In
the schools-against the foreign-borr
Negroes, etc.
8. Organization to fight against
! the war propaganda and military &C
| tivities of the bosses and their gov
eminent.
This is an immediate task not only
of the working class parents, but OF
all friends of the working class chill
dren. The organization that embodies
this fight is the YOUNG PIONEERS
OF AMERICA.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

While there is little activity in a COM
petitiye way outdoors at this time of
year, competition at the indoor schools
goes on Just the same. r. Cliff Nc
Kimnie, proprietor of the Hollywood
School on New York avenue, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, comes
to bat with the declaration that Charles
Gardiner, frequenter of the golf school,
has set world record for an indoor
putting course with a mark OF 26 for
par 81 course. Which leads to one OF
two thoughts-either Gardiner must have
been inspired, or the par Of the course
Is much too high.
McKimmie submits the following re-
suits In the two leagues operating at his
school:
Pro-amateur League-Charles Gard
liner defeated v. Gardiner, 451 to 479;
v. Gardiner defeated M. GodStein, 474
to 489; r. C.. McKimn1ie defeated v.
Gardiner, 400 to SOL; McKimmie de-
feated M. Goldstein, 46s to $40.
National Capital League-A. G.
Spalding defeated McKimmie School
494 to 500. McKimmie leads in the
Pro-amateur League with wins and no
loses William Keyser is second with 3
wins and loss.
Up at Eighteenth street and Columbia
road, where Henry D. Miller presides
over the L'Aiglon pitch and putt course
and Lionel Walker gives lessons at the
driving nets, Miller is organizing a
bankers pitching and putting league
and already has teams entered from
three well known financial institutions
in the city. He hopes also to organize
another league.

n INSPIRED by the success Of the In
itial tournament, the Golf Com
mittee Of the Columbia Country
Club plans to hold another sweep
stakes next Tuesday. In the one held
last week more than fifty played.
Although most Of the contestants were
members Of the club, sprinkling OF
guests played, and one Of them tied Tor
the FIRST net prize. DARCY Banagan,
the club pro, Is in charge Of the events,
and believes that given even fair
weather the events planned for each
Tuesday throughout the balance Of the
Winter will show q large entry. -,
Last Tuesday the weather overhead
was perfect, but underfoot the course
was soggy and the ball went exactly
where it carried and no farther. Sucn
conditions cannot be expected Tor al
the coming tournaments.
There isn't any doubt that the golfers
around washington are taking TO the
new ball like a duck takes to water.
Here and there may be scattered Few
who play the old ball, but generally they
all are playing the new ball and the sur
prising part of it is that those who
inquired not to do so well with 1T are
doing better than they expected, while
those who hailed the new ball as
sphere which might improve their game
are not so pleased with the results. :.
Over at Washington 1t Is fairly wei
understood among the members OF o
half dozen foursomes who play TO-
gether regularly that the new ball Is
compulsory and that use OF the smaller
sized ball Is considered outside the
bounds of golf etiquette.
At Columbia, Chevy Chase, Congress
sional and all the other clubs the same
thing goes on.

i ton, getting on with its task Of
issuing handicap cards for members
Of the clubs within the Washington area
which are members Of the association
Is preparing to rate the courses OF the
six clubs about Washington which be-
long to the organization.
With the Five Farms course neal
Baltimore established at q scratch rat

practically had decided to make Burn

Capital and to rate Chevy Chase
Columbia, Indian Spring. Congressional
and Woodmont a stroke or two higher.
