Say, Listen Here!

We're not asking you to hook your underwear
or steal the pennies from the babys bank or
anything but hang it, we've got campaign on
and darned few folks seem to know anything
about it!
Yesterday we mentioned that we had gotten
as far as $14, or just one-third of the way to
installing a radio in the Daily Worker, not for
our personal amusement but for the business
of picking things out of the air that need at
tention
Now merely because we get funny occasionally,
is no reason to take it for granted that we are
just joking. We, the Daily Worker, need radio
Well tell you why and give an idea what 1t
means
Our direct news sources are exclusively work
ing class. We have no "ticket" Geographic serv-
ice, which costs more than it's worth. For the
rare occasions when it brings something impor-
tant, there are miles and miles of cyclones,
divorces, stock quotations and detailed reports
of just where the ball lights when Babe Ruth
makes a home run. Junk! And costlyi So why
not pick up things floating on the air? It's
cheaper.
But here's where we lose out: We have no
radio. And when we homeward wendell our
weary way Sunday night, one Of our tribe who
had been visiting residence with a radio told
us about hearing over it that Stimson was Or
dering new study of the Russian problem"
Now, if we had had radio in the office, We
would have had our Communist explanation Of

given it by the N. Y. Times-whie, as 1t was,
we had to wait one day more and give it the
day after. You'll find it on the front page of
Tuesdays daily.
So please don't think that we're asking for
luxlries It's serious matter. Besides, par
ticipaton in revolutionary rivalry hasn't yet
been barred as game Of chance. It's sure

fluous and either send them direct into other
factories or first have them retrained.
In connection with these statements Of Com
rade Kravel, the Deputy Peoples Commissar
for Labor, the following questions were answered
by him:
1. In what way do the functions Of the Labor
Exchanges differ from those of the Cadre Ad-
ministrations?
The tasks Of the old Labor Exchanges con-
sisted in distributing the surplus workers who
applied to them. They were usually sent to the
factories in the neighborhood. Today the Cadre
Administrations are chiefly concerned with the
problem of obtaining workers, retraining them
and distributing them according to plan. In
this respect there is no compulsion and no means
Of pressure applied. The recruiting and dis
tribution of workers is carried out on the basis
of free agreements, by personal agreements,
whereby we ascertain whether the workers wish
to be sent to work in a definite district, what is
their profession, for what work they are suited
and for what position they are qualified We
not only recruit workers, we train and educate
them and find them work places where they
can be employed in accordance with their quail
ifications This apparatus differs from the for
mer In being completely centralized. repeat:
the worker is free to choose his workplace to
to be employed, and to fix the length of the
agreement while we on our part endeavor, in
the interests of production, to induce the worker
to undertake to remain at his work place for
at least to years.
2. The bourgeois social democratic press de-
clares that the Five-Year Plan will fail owing
to the fluctuation of the workers in the factories.
Regarding fluctuation should like to say the
following: The whole Of the work in the Soviet
Union is built up the growing socialist self
confidence of the masses and on their initiative.
The first method Of carrying out our plan is
based on the preservation Of complete freedom
and the fulfilment Of the self-imposed obliga-
ton, arising out Of revolutionary initiative, to
perform a certain work This includes the OBJ
legation Of the worker to stick to his work place
in order to prevent any delay in the fulfilment
Of the plan as result Of fluctuation Moreover
we have system which gives the worker an
interest In remaining at his work place. We give
such workers extra holidays and obtain good
quarters for them We have Just included in
the budget the sum Of 1,100,000000 roubles for
improving the housing conditions of the work.
ers. The insurance system is so arranged that
workers who remain i'll the factories for several
years are granted special privileges. The State
is investing 15OO0Oooo roubles for the purpose

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS

QUESTION: Why do the depositors of the
Bank of the United States get so per cent loan
on their money, and is it possible for the bank
that lends the money to them to withdraw the
loan if the Bank of the United States does not
cover it?-M. R., New York.
The SO per cent maximum is based on the as
sumption of the other banks that the U. S. Bank
when finally liquidated will yield so per cent to
the depositors. The banks who are making this
much advertised accommodation" to the deposi-
tors of the Bank of the U. S. by giving these
loans at per cent Gas much as they would get
on many classes of commercial loans) are hard
headed capitalists. The loan that is given is
demand loan that may be called in at any time
by the leading bank. And if after the U. S..
Bank mess is finally settled there is not enough
money to cover the loans made by these banks
to the U. S. Bank depositorS, the latter will be
held personally liable for the loan, the lending
bank taking the necessary steps to secure its
payment.
Incidentally, 1t may interest you to know that
information on the conditions surrounding these
loans are not obtainable from the lending banks
except by the applicant for a loan. He is given
a set of conditions to read and sign at the bank.
He may not take out the printed leaflet contain
ing these conditions nor may he make a copy
of it to take out. In other words the bankers
are not eager to give out information as to their
profitable system of making per cent out of
the needs of the depositors whose money has
been stolen by the Bank of the United States.

ers home workers, agricultural workers and
poor peasants. Whilst the former Labor Ex-
changes worked more or less haphazardly, with
out system and separated from production, they
will now work Systematically in close connec-
ton with the plans of industry. In the year
1880 we met the demand for labor only up to As
per cent. This state of affairs will now be COM
pletely abolished.
From where we are obtaining new labor
In the year 1881 the Soviet Union will require
two million new workers. One Of the most i'm
portant questions is the tapping of sources from
which we can obtain these new workers. We
have the following plans for the future:
Four hundred thousand women are to be
obtained from the circles of housewives, and
in addition 100000 from the rural districts,
making together 100000 women who are to
be drawn into production. To this figure there
is to be added 10000 home workers and about
100000 landworkers, poor peasants and
members Of the collective farms. We further
intend to employ 10000 slightly incapaci-
tated people on light work in the factories,
so that we shall obtain In all 100000 fresh
workers. From the short-terrn schools and
mass schools for the youth we shall obtain
100000 workers. Thus we shall acquire in all
3,660000 new workers.
We have ascertained that in spite Of ad-
vancing naturalization it very frequently hap
pens that in the factories labor power is not
nationally utilized The Peoples Commssariat
for Labor has carried out in number Of trusts
and economic organizations general inves-
tigation OF the utilization Of cadres, and found
that in every trust more workers are employed
today than the state Of advanced naturalization
warrants Whilst in the West, in the capitalist
States, these workers would be deprived Of their
bread, we merely withdraw these workers from

greatest possible output Of labor, while at the
same time the standard of living is raised, and
all cultural requirements are increasingly sat-
isfied. In this process our workers are becon1-
ing better qualified and trained, and only by
this means shall we do away with faulty work.
We shall achieve this. We have already accom-

DARK. HORSES SCORE OVER NET ACES
NEARLY
SPILL COAST
NET TEAM

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. II.
Those two California youngsters,
Ellsworth Vines and Keith Gled-
hill, are vulnerable after all.
It took Arnold Jones, former
Yale star, and James Van Allen,
of Newport, to prove that here
yesterday in the second round OF
the national mems doubles ten
mis- championships.
Jones and Van Allen employed
clever lobbing tactics to take two
sets from the highly favored
Coast stars, and to come within
point of beating them, before
Vines and Gledhill could collect
themselves and win their way to
the third round of the champion
ship play.
Although they are only side
liners today, Jones and Van Allen
have shown the way to the other
teams how the CalifOrnianS can
be beaten, and it will be lObs and
more lObS for the coast aces for
the remainder Of the week.
All the favorites are esconced
in the third round, none having
been tripped up yesterday. The
English combination of Pat Hughes
and Fred Perry turned in an i'm
pressive victory when they set the
powerful team of Jack Tidball and
Lester Stoefen, also of California,
back in five sets, and they are
rated a good chance to make trou-
BILE for some of the favoritieS.
The defending champions went
ahead at the expense of Jerry
Sass and Bob McFarlane, of Ok
lahoma City, losing one set when
Lofts service was broken through.
Frank Shields and Sidney
Wood, American Davis Cup
stars, advanced with a fOur-Set
victory over Lloyd NOrdStrOm
and Wallace Scott, Northwest
ern champions.
Play got under way in the wo-
mems invitation doubles to:--na-
ment also. The popular English
pair, Mrs. Elsie Goldsack Pittman
and Miss Joan Ridley, went to
the second round by virtue of
default win over Hilda and Helen
Boehm, the Maiden twins, who
failed to appear.

CROWN
IN MANY
BOUTS
BY JACK DEMPSEY

If all of our champions were like
Tony Canzoneri, lightweight cham
pion, it is likely that interest in
what boxers are doing would re-
vive and certainly the sport
would be lifted to mucn higher
level.
Tony doesn't pick AMI choose
his foemen. He is ready at all
times to take on all comers. When
the bell rings, you know that
Tony will be huStling out for the
sole purpose of putting all he
has into the effort for victory.
Tony doesn't force other men
to come in overweight so that
his title won't be in danger in
minor battles. They all can take
a crack at it. He imposes no diff
ficult conditions upon his foe
men.
CanZOneri rose from ObScurity
by gameness, the willingness to
fight, and boxing knowledge.
He had scored some knOckOutS
along the way, but wasn't rated
/ as much Of q hitter.
Yet, like other men principally
gifted in the technique of the
game, Tony suddenly found that
he could hit with crumpling force.
His one-round knockout of AL
Singer was a tip-off that like
Benny Leonard, of other years,
he had acquired the knack of
sending concentrated power to
the right spot and quickly wreck
ing the ambitions of his rivals.
Soon after Tony became cham
pion, Jackie Kid Berg asked for
a crack at him. Modern cham
pions do not usually risk their
crowns until they have had time
to become accustomed to the feel
Of them on their heads. Tony
is different. He accepted imme.
diately even though Berg was the
sensation of the lightweights at
the time and many keen minds in
ringdom figured he would take
AOA4y 414CcOu1Cs
Tony knew that Berg with the
chance of a championship be-
fore him, would want to tear
in. Sure, that was his way
the way by which he meant to
win. And it was risky for Tony
to meet him at slugging.
But Tony met him and slugged
it with this wild man; he stood
toe-to-toe with him, round after
round, and it was Berg who fl
nally broke ground; it was Berg
who faltered under the fury OF
Tony's punches-faltered, backed
away and eventually was pounded
into knockout defeat.
