afternoon in the fourth round OF
the national singles champion
ship at Forest Hills. The loser
will be relegated. at least for
this season, to the limbo of
beaten stars; the victor will go
ahead to further glory.
Vines, of course, is favored to
do the advancing. The days
when Gledhill was his "jinX"
are long past; the national cham
pion is definitely his doubles
partners superior in solo play,
just as Gledhill used to be far
the better when they were COM
peting in boys and junior tourna-
mentS.
However, the lanky titleholder
would prefer reaching the quarter
finals at the expense Of some
other foeman. He has been a
true friend to Gledhill, and the
Stanford captain to him, ever
since they first started coming
East in 1880. When gossip
mongerS circulated the rumor at
Rye that the Davis cup star
would throw him over for frankie
Parker as his doubles mate, Vines
was the first to spike the tale.
Stuck To Pal
He stuck to his pal, and Gled-
hill showed his appreciation oy
helping him sweep the field at
Brookline.
But friendship must be forgot
ten when the fortunes of the ten
mis- wars bracket two pals to-
gether. They can be counted to
60 at each other hammer and
tongs, and an exciting match is
certain to result. Vines is the
favorite, but only if he plays at
the top of his form, and doesn't
allow Gledhill to get out of hand.
With the exception of George
Lott, who shouldn't find Takeo
KuWabara a too. difficult task, all
the other favorites are slated to
face tough opposition today.
In fact, victories by Lester
Stoefen over Gregory Mangin, Sid
ney Wood over Fred Perry, and
Cliff Sutter over Bunny Austin,
despite the fact that Stoefen,
Wood and Sutter are outranked
by their opponents, would hardly
be surprises. And Johnny Van
Ryn can certainly be counted
upon to make Henri Cochet step
fast to win, with the same holding
true for Ted Avory against Will
mer Allison, and John Olliff
against Frank Shields.

Roosevelt Campaign
Talk Offers JObless
Nothing To Live On

SEA GIRT, N. j., Aug. 28.-Gov-
ernor Roosevelt spoke in the most
important of his Presidential cam
paign speeches so far for repeal of
the prohibition act, and spent his
entire time complaining that the
Hoover Curtis stand on prohibition
was insincere.
He did not once take up the ques-
ton of what shall be done for the
100000 unemployed who can buy
neither beer nor bread, nor propose
any plan to stop the wave of wage
cuts which is starving employed as
we'll as unemployed workers.
Against such campaing issues, the
Communist Party, while condenning
prohibition, makes the principal fight
for unemployment insurance at the
expense of the state and the EN-
ployers, the fight on wage-cuts, the
fight against imperialist war, the
immediate relief of poor farmers
equality for the Negroes and self-de-
termination in the Black Belt.

Adopt Resolution for

AMSTERDAM, Holland, Aug. o.
Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two OF
the Scottsboro boys addressed the
huge anti-war world congress here
yesterday, and urged them to help
fight American Imperialism by fight
ing against the legal lynching of
eight Negro boys in Alabama. The
congress adopted a resolution calling
for the release of the Scottsboro boys.
A Chinese seaman, delegate to the
anti-war congress here reused great
enthusiasm by a speech sharply at
lacking the French and British i'm
periaist oppression of the Chinese
people.
At the evening session yesterday
the congress cheered the speeches of
the leaders of the Invergordon mutiny
in the British navy.
Workers from the Krupp arms
factory in Germany addressed the
congress, demanding the united front
of all workers as the most effective
weapon against war, and declaring
that effective propaganda was neces-
ssry against the insidious arguments
of the capitalists that ornaments
make work during times of industrial
depression.
The 1000 delegates hailed this de-
claration of Krupp workers by rising
and singing the International.

JAPANESE PLAN
NEW MASSACRE
Another Blood Bath as
At Chapel Plotted

The Japanese yesterday renewed
their threat of new blood baths
against the workers of Shanghai and
several other Chinese cities The
threat was contained in an ultima
tum to the Kuomintang authorities
in the cities demanding the immedi-
ate crushing of the anti-Japanese
boycott movement.
The boycott movement has had
tremendous upsurge within the past
two weeks, spreading throughout
China as a result of the extension of
the Japanese invasion of Chinese
territory to Jehol Province, North
China. The growing mass resistance
to the Japanese and the Kuomintang
lackeys of the imperialists is also
greatly inspired by the smashing vic
tories of the Chinese Red Armies in
Hupeh and other provinces in Gem
trail and South China.
Japanese troops in Peiping are carr
rying out persistent provocative day
and night maneuvers. The maneuvers
are carried out in the working class
districts. Similar maneuvers preceded
the japanese seizure of Mukden on
September 18, 1881.
japanese marines in Shanghai are
being used in daily incursions into
the Chapel proletarian district, which
was razed to the ground by the Jap
anese in their attack on Shanghai
several months ago. Tens Of thou
sands of civilian men, women and
children we're slaughtered at the
time, with thousands Of others

Against Machado!

NEW YORK "A thousand workers
demonstrated here on Saturday
against the bloody reign of terror
that Butcher Machado, dictator OF
Cuba, is inflicting against the Cuban
working class.
Although the Anti Imperialist
League of the U. S., under whose
auspices the demonstration was held,
was given a permit by the police to
hold a parade, the police counter
manded it at the last minute. Not
withstanding. the workers marched
together from l24th St. and Fifth
Ave. to 10th St., where an open all
meeting was held. A small army OF
cops attempted to provoke the work
ers but the meeting ended without
an attack by police.
Speakers for the Anti Imperialist
League called for mighty nation
wide protest against the murder, i'm
prisonment and torture of militant
workers and their leaders by the Ma
chado regime.
Machado is the representative in
Cuba of the American bankers, and
his murderous oppression of the Gu
ban working class has the approval

Among the demands raised at the

since.

Govt. Rushes Police To
Fight Strike

LONDON, Aug. 28.-Over 100000
cotton workers went on strike at
Lancashire yesterday. The strike is
result of the fight waged by cotton
workers at Burnley for the reinstate-
ment of 1000 workers who had
struck against the breach of exist
ing agreements.
The employers offered to reinstate
the workers during the next six
months, but the strikers insisted that
the reinstatement be carried out in
the next few days.
The Lancashire strike is considered
the greatest labor fight ever engaged
in in England since the general strike
of 1926.
Heavy police reinforcements are
being sent from Manchester to Lam

is maintained that the reinforce
ments are being sent in order to pre-
vent London Communists from max

Hoover, Green and
Bosses In Drive For
'Stagger," Pay Cut

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. %.
-Hoover's conference of business
leaders here Friday turned into a
new drive for his already an
nounced stagger system, by which
owners of industry will pay not a
cent for relief to jobIess, and the
workers who have jobs will stand
the whole cost.
The sub committee of the gem
eral council established by Hoo
ver's order, declared for "job Sc
curity through job spreading" and
explained il as call to all en-
ployers to cut the hours of work
land, of course, the wages and
hire some of the jobless.
William Green, president of the
A. F. of L., Immediately issued a
statement: This plan should be
accepted by all employers and
employees"
Unemployed Councils, militant
unions and the Communist Party,
answer this with a call to strike
against wage-cuts and fight for
unemployment insurance.
