THE foursome for the tenth Of
Il Milton c. Works radio bridge
games, broadcast from Station
WFBM Tuesday, was made up of
four famous women bridge stars:
Mrs. Beryl S. Moncrieff, New Bed
ford, Mass; Mrs. Edward Gold
smith, Danville, ILL.,; Mrs. Theodosia
Van Norden Emery, Hartford,
Conn, and Mrs. Oscar E. Busby,
Dallas, Tex.
Mrs. Moncrieff as Dealer, South,
opened with one no trump on;
spades, @, 10; hearts, A, 8, Z, s.;
diamonds, A, @, j, s; clubs, A. @. s..
Her hand totalled the unusual figure
Of 10.
Mrs. Goldsmith. West, holding:
spades, K, 9. Z, 6, 4; hearts, j, 8;
diamonds, 10, 8; clubs, j, Z, 6, 8, of
course passed. She would have had
no justification for bidding FIVE
card suit headed by the king, with
no side support.
Mrs. Emery, North, also passed.
Her hand contained: Spades, A, j,
8; hearts, K, @, 6, 3; diamonds, z,
5, 8; clubs 8, 8, 2-sufficient strength
to bid two no trumps. But passing
left her in position, in event Of
minor bid by last, to bid two hearts
If her partner did not overcall.
However, Mrs. Busby, East, lpassed.
Her cards were: Spades, 5, 3, 2:
hearts, 10. 4, 2; diamonds, K, 6, 4,
clubs, <, 10, 4. Therefore Mrs. Mon
Grief, South, became Declarer with
her contract one no trump.
Mrs. Goldsmith, West, opened the
play by leading the 6of spades. Mrs.
Moncrieff, Declarer. planning her
campaign, saw by the Rule of
Eleven that she had in her two
hands all the spades higher than
the 6 that were not in the hand Of
the leader.
She therefore played the 8 from
dummy; Mrs. Busby, East, played
the deuce; and Declarer was careful
to win wi the queen, not the 10,
from the land.
THO trick two, Declarer led her ace
4 of hearts; West played the 9:
Dummy the trey; and East the
deuce. Declarer continued with the
8 of hearts; West played the jack;
Dummy the queen: and East the 4,
Declarer was then in position to
1nesSe her diamonds.
So from Dummy she led the Z of
diamonds; East played the deuce:
closed hand the queen; and West
the 9. Declarer played the queen as
a false-card to withhold inforn.a-
ton from the adverseraries; sue
cessful fanesse Of the jack would
have marked the cSeen IN Declarer's
hand.

stop over. At cities that the ms~ch-
ers pass through without stopping
over, organize mass meetings al the
main square or anywhere along the
road of march within the city Units.
Get Lodgings for the Marchdts
Mobilize the workers of your tsen
to stage demonstrations to force the
city authorities 10 provide lodgings

marchers If that is necessary.
Build Daily Worker Clubs
And use the march to distribute
leaflets, to sell the Daily Worker, and
to BUILD UP DAILY WORKER
CLUBS among the thousands Of
workers whose class consciousness
will be awakened by this mighty ma
tional mass demonstration in which
the workers of America show their
class solidarity.

tack on the Workers Socialist Re-
public.
Yesterday, League of Nations Off
Gals sounded the tocsin for the armed
attack against the Soviet Union on
the western front. A Geneva dis
patch states that these imperialist
vultures feared" that Poland and
Rumania would become involved as
result of the armed clash which the
japanese imperialists are now bent
on precipitating with the Red Army.
The League officials admitted that
the situation in Manchuria had be-
come worse during the last week" AS
part Of the imperialist apparatus, they
openly viSualized the attack on the
Soviet Union, and are already using
the rapidly developing war situation
to excuse their failure to stop the
seizure Of ManchTia by the Japanese
imperialists. Knowing that the work
ers and peasants of the Soviet Union
will defend themselves against at
tack, the League officials declare
that Soviet participation in the Far
Eastern troubles" will make it hard
to bring about any concerted r-2-e
against the japanese"
Capitalist press dispatches from
Manchuria report large troop move
ments by Japan and the further
tightening of its economic grip on
Manchuria. A dispatch to the New
York Times states: One critical for
eign comment declares that the Jap
anese now have their feet in every
trough. Japan is setting up Jap
anese- owned monopolies all over the
occupied territory In several cities,
ChineSe-oW power houses have
been shut down and Japanese owned
power houses set up in their place.
In many cases foreign commercial
interests face tremendous losses as a
result of the Japanese economic
moves. 1t is significant that while
British imperialist agents are per-
turbed and disturbed over this stu
alton, the agents of American impe-
rialism are showing no signs of con-
Germ, although "the obliterated Chi
nese administration of Antung still
owes 100000 to an American firm
for electrical machinery, which ap-
parently is uncollectable unless the
Japanese pay"
Several stiff battles have occurred
between Manchurian peasant forces
and the Japanese invaders. In a
clash between a Japanese battalion
and 500 peasants nearToutaokou on
Monday, 80 Chinese were killed and
100 wounded. The Japanese did not
report their losses. The battle lasted
more than six hours "and was in
tensely fought" Toutaokou is about
rs miles from Mukden.

tween 5000 and 5000 attack Jap

CHICAGO, Ill. Nov. 7,-Seven hun
dred here today demonstrated before
the Deering Works, branch of the
International Harvester. and many
joined the Communist Party.
The demonstrations was a result of
an attempt on the part Of the Deer
ing bosses to rob the workers of 45c

The men were laid off previous to
october Is and told to report for
work on that date. They came, but
were not rehired and told to come
again on Nov. 2. When they appeared,
they we're told to come back after the
first Of the year. This was done in
order to keep the workers paying in

DAILY WORKER CLUBS, RED BUILDERS,
AGENTS, READERS; INTENSITY YOUR
ACTIVITIES DURING HUNGER MARCH

This week marks the first phase
of the National Hunger March. pub
lie hearings are now being held in
the principal cities Of the United
States TO expose the starvation con-
ditions among the workers. This week
the foundations are being laid for
the march of the workers all over
the United States that will finally
converge on Washington Dec. It'll and
present the demands Of the workers
for unemployment insurance, immed-
late winter relief, and other vital
measures.
Daily Worker Clubs, Red Build
ers' Clubs, and Daily Worker repre-
sentatives and agents, now is the
time when every effort will count
a hundredfold. The big wave of
class solidarity caused by the Hun
ger March will bring thousands of
new workers'into the revolutionary
struggle. Activize these new mem
bers at once in your Daily Worker
social and political activities and in
your work of selling the Daily. And
do your share in drawing the mass
es of workers into this national
mass demonstration.
Unemployed Councils all over the
country have already drawn in thou
sands of workers. Trade Union Unity
League unions and shop nuclei with
in A. F. of l.. unions or in open shops
will also play an important part in
the Hunger March. But there are big
masses of workers that cannot be
reached by Unemployed Councils or
by union or shop activities. Such
workers to a great extent can be
reached by Daily Worker agents and
through Daily Worker clubs.
Agents and readers of the Daily
Worker! The National Hunger
March Is an important phase in the
history of the Communist Party of
the United tSates and in the his
tory of the world revolutionary
struggle. A vital role is set for you
in that march.
Draw every contact into this work
of preparation for the Hunger March.
Mobilize the activities Of your Daily
Worker Clubs and Red Builders Clubs
to awaken the masses in your towns
to the significance of the Hunger
March and to make them participate
in the movement according to the

Harlem, but the police and gangsters
objected to the presence of Commu-
mist watchers who were Negroes
1--WE don't want niggers' round here"
said the Tammany thugs in one in
stance in Harlem where Negro
watchers were ejetced. In two in
stances, however, where Negro watch
ers were forced from the polls they
were returned to their positions by
delegations of Revolutionary workers.
These were splendid demonstrations
of the fighting solidarity of the white
and Negro workers, demonstrating
that only the Communist Party fights
for the rights OF the Negro workers.
Wholesale Vote Stealing
Wholesale stealing of Communist
votes took place throughout the city.
The voting machines accidentally
did not work" In Harlem. Browns
vile and lower Manhattan. 1t stuck
on the Communist row, and the only
advice that the chairman of the cleo
ton board could give was ito vote
for somebody else" In one district In
Harlem the Communist candidates
were purposely left off the machine,
which is fraudulent method of the
election authorities.
That the Tammany machine was
returned to power with such victory
indicates that the workers Of New
York have not yet awakened to the
real situation. The vote for the Com
munist Party indicates clearly that
not only were votes stolen, that many
workers were denied the right to vote,
but also that many supporters Of the
Communist Party either did not vote
or cast their protest votes for an
other party in the belief that it would
be more effective. The effect Of this
the workers will learn in short time
when the Tammany machine really

Railroad Organizer Capuani.
LAWRENCE, Mass, Nov. 3.-When
Organizer Capuani, arrested at the
demonstration before the city coun-
Gil meeting last week, came in court
Tuesday, he was railroaded to a SEN
tence of 80 days, the highest sentence
SO far for "vagrancy."
They wanted to know why Capuani
refused to give an address. He told
how others giving addresses had their
homes ranSacked, and how, in the
1919 strike here, an organizer was
saught at home and beaten up by the
police. The judge slammed the desk,
declared he didn't want to hear about
the 1919 strike, and found Capuani
guilty.
