a pack Of thrills in the
4 meet at Catholic Univer-
Sity tonight.
With some 40 colleges, schools
and clubs represented by more
than 500 athletes, including
many of the highest class in
the East, the caliber of COM
petition to be provided never
has been surpassed in this sec
tion, not even when George
town used to stage its famous
carnivalS at Convention Hall
more than a decade ago.
Track activities at the Brook
land institution have been
sharply on the upgrade since
Dorsey Griffith took charge, to
such an extent, in fact, that
their present quarters have
been outgroWn.
The long program Of events
this evening, which probably
will require upward Of four
hours to run off, should pack
the gymnasium out Michigan
avenue way.
When the annual meet was
inaugurated, in 1880, the in
closure was more than ample to
take care of the spectators at
tracted, but it has grown so
rapidly in three years that the
seating capacity of about 1900
probably will be taxed this
evening.
How to take care of the
throngS that steadily are in
creasing in size is a problem
confronting the authorities at
Brookland.
To solve it they may be
forced, at no distant date, to
install flood lights in the
spacious athletic field and hold
their games outdoors.

Spanish post of the American Legion
of La Junta, Colo, made a vicious
attack on the Communists, as did
a delegate from the Conference of
the Methodist Church Of Denver.
Rank and file non-C Communist de-
legates effectively smashed this at
tack. The representative of La
Prensa, influential bourgeois Span
ish daily, also attacked the Commu-
niStS and warned the Conference
of the violence idealogy" of the
Communists. Other non-Communist
delegates effectively answered these
demagogues.
Throughout, the Conference held
to clear class line. The discussion
of the delegates showed the misery
existing throughout the field and
pledged to stand with the United
Front Committee in launching IA
struggle.

The Conference was marked by
numerous individuals taking the
floor and declaring their adherence
to the United Front Movement. de-
legates who had previously very bit

tackled it at all occasions. Outstand-

From the very outset the wide
spread feeling to strike was express
sed. The refusal'of the beet workers
to accept the cut and their deter
mination to struggle was clearly
evident.
Edgar Wahlberg, pastor OF the
Grace Church of Denver pledged the
Conference his support in all things
just" and stated the beet workers
were doing the proper thing now.
The speech of Charles Guynn, re-
preventative Of the Trade Union
Unity League, was enthusiastically
received. Guynn stated the wage
cut could be defeated by strike,
but that a strike is dependant upon
widespread and intensive organiza-
ton in the field, and recommended
the throwing Of so rank and file

the workers don't know that. this
material Is to be used as war ma
terials, but they should know 1t and
act TO stop the sending of these
materials to slaughter other work
ers.
In the same issue Of the Daily
Worker there was an interesting
letter from a correspondent at
Hopewen, Va. This letter states
that "Hopewell itself consists es-
sentiaily Of the type Of workers
known In the South as poor
white. No one else will live there
because Of the odors from the Al
lied. The workers pay back most Of
their salaries to the factories be-
cause the majority Of the houses
belong either to the Tubize or the
Allied chemical"
This clearly shows that the So
called poor whites of Virginia are
living In conditions as bad as the
greatly exploited Negroes. while the
bosses of the chemical company are
only concerned with making prof.
its, and to help in the war prepara-
tons. The whole working class of
this country Is suffering and starry
ing while the bosses make huge
profits.
Or take the shipment OF raw cot
ton to Japan. The Labor Research
Association states that during 1881
at the time when Japan was con-
centrating her forces and attacking
Manchuria, over 1,741, 900 bales OF
cotton were bought In this country
and sent to Japan and used largely
for making explosives for war pur-
poses. This was twice the amount
bought during 1890.
Now there are hundreds Of thou
sands Of Negro poems and farm
slaves In the South shaving away In
the cotton fields, besides being
lynched and terrorized.

MAY DAY Is q day OF struggle and
M international class solidarity.
For over 10 years workers Of this
country have observed this day as
day Of mighty protest against
wage reductions. against capitalist
terror and for working class seiid-
arity.
Today Japanese imperialism has
gobhled up Manchuris and Is
threatening war against the Soviet
Union.
The ruling class OF this country
and its government with It's eyes
on China because 1t wants to share
In the robbery Of China. and also
because It too desires the destrue-
ton Of the Workers and Peasants
Government of the Soviet Union,
sanctions the moves of Japanese
imperialism and helps in the war
preparations against the U. 8. s. r.
At the same time the rnanufac-
turers. the bankers and the govern
ment are carrying out starvation
program In this country. Wages Of
the working class are being cut
right and left, the standard of iv-
ing of the workers and the popu-
lation is being lowered and the
greatest wave of terror Is being car
ried on against the workers to keep
them from struggling to better
their conditions.
The workers and toiling masses OF
Negroes are receiving the brunt OF
this starvation program of the Hoo
yer government, and the brunt Of
the brutal lynch, police and capt.
talist mob terror carried out at the
dictation Of the government anC
the boss class.
Meanwhile the bosses are using
the workers to prepare war and tS
make and transport war material,
to Japan and China. The workers
must stop these war plans.

rails are having their wages slashed
on every shipping line.
OF course the workers must in
terfere in these war plans and
preparations.
The workers do well to ask: Why
war; The war Is rebber war IN
the interest Of the manufacturers
and capitalists. It is a war for the
division Of China, the destruction
Of the independence Of China. the
further oppression Of q nation; it
Is a drive towards an attack on the
Soviet Union, a workers and Peas
ants government that la demon
strating TO the workers and OPP
pressed people Of the world. through
successful socialist building. what
can be done by workers; that they,
by organizing and struggling
against their exploiters, can fight
starvation. unemployment and mis-
cry.
Workers are not interested in
these annexations of the imperial
lists. The workers, however. are in
terested in the freedom and indie
pendence of China, for the workers
and peasants of China, who are
fighting for their independence;
the workers are interested In the
protection of the Soviet Union
which the imperialists want to de-
stroy.
Our intereS.- are different from
those of the imperialists who want
to annex and divide China and de-
stroy the Soviet Union, and who at
the same time cut our wages, lower
our standards and reduce the work
ing population to misery.
Let US do all we can to stop this
robber war on China and the at
| tack on the U.S.S.R. ANY sacrifice
that we can make now is better
than the burdens of an imperialist
war. We can actually save the lives
of thousands of Chinese workers
| and peasants and prevent the de-
| struction Of the lives Of millions OF
workers and peasants in an impe-
rialist war. by acting to stop war.
That is why this May Day Is OF
very great importance to carry out
q mighty protest against and action
to stop war, by organizing to stop
the shipments of war materials, by
organizing the struggle against
wage cuts and unemployment
against terror and lynching and fos
defense of the Scottsboro boysl
This Is why May Day is day OF
struggle, Of brotherly working uni
ty. of international class solidarity.

DENVER, Colo The two-day
conference of agricultural workers,
the second to be held in two months,
adjourned April 18th after adopting
a fighting call to action and decid-
ing to strike throughout the beet
fields on May LIST unless the COM
panies withdraw the wage cut and
accept the conference demands.
The Conference had lie delegates
present from IS important beet CEN
ers, representing a total Of S,889
organized beet workers in Commit
tees of Action, United Front Com
mittees, LEGAL groups. etc. The dele
gates brought with them total Of
1900 signatures of beet workers
who signed against the wage cut
and supported the demands of the
United Front Committee.
The Conference held on February
1914 had 81 delegates present from
70 centers, representing 8, 200 work
ers. This conference adopted a pro-
gram of four central, vital demands
and outlined policy of intensive
organizational work to be done
between then and April Is, when
another conference was Scheduled
to take action on the wage cut.
During this period scores Of local
organizations were established, DEM
onstrations held and the demands
Of the Conference widely popular
ICED.
The powerful sugar companies cut
wages In 1880 from $40 per acre to
els In 1891. Then this year they
cut to SIS per acre. Even when re-
ceiving a2a per acre. the workers
were living In a condition OF peon-
age and know that SIS per acre will
mean mass starvation. This year
whole communities we're on charity
and existed on a starvation basis.
On the morning OF the Confer
ence q committee Of ten was sent
By the Conference to the Offices Of
the Great Western Sugar Company,
the most powerful Of all the COM
panies and the leader In the wage
cut, TO present the demands Of the
beet workers. The Committee was
accompanied by 2,000 beet workers.
Maddux, industrial commissioner Of
the company, met the committee at
the door with Is policemen and
said, You'll get In only over my
dead body" This enraged the dele
gates and determined them to fight
more bitterly.
The Conference Immediately took
to discussion Of the present situa-
ton. It ratified the demands Of the
previous Conference and declared
fight for their realization. These
demands are Cd for q standard
rate of $23 per acre throughout the
beet fields, CD for the establishment
of o guarantee Of pay. 90 for cash
instead of credits, and "a for recog.
milton Of the United Front Commit
tees as spokesman Of the workers.
The Conference elected Program

policy, a finance committee and
an organization committee.

Throughout the Conference, ANTI
Communist elements sought to div
ert the Conference from its real task
by throwing into the Conference

failed miserably. The role of the

sented by number of delegates,

On the second day the concretely
discussed reports of the Committees
and adopted the following decisions:
l. To arrange for widespread de-
monstrations for the beet workers
In every beet center on May First,
These demonstrations shall be built
up by throwing into the field so rank
and file organizers who were select
ed at the Conference. These dmon-
STATIONS will receive a maessage or
a representative from the central
United Front Committee as to
whether the sugar companies have
refused the demands. That In the
event Of refusal Of the demands,
which shall be negotiated between
now and May list, then the Com.
mite call astrike.
2. That between and May list,
In preparation for struggle, the
squads OF rank and file organizers,
directed by the central committee.
shall systematically ste Up local or
carnations where none exist, shall
hold the May First demonstrations,
shall prepare relief and defense
machinery and shall mobilize adj
ditionai thousands of workers he
hind the united front movement.
3. That in the coming week de-
monstrations and meetings be held
in all parts of the field to hear re-
ports Of the Conference and to
focus on building for May First. In
the meantime the central committee
attempt to negotiate with the sugar
companies, and the event Of their
failure, to be well prepared for May
First.
A ron cali taken at the Conference
shows that 81 rank mad file organ
izations volunteered to work under
the central Committee, % automo-
biles were placed at the Committees
disposal, and that 80 centers will
nOlo May Day demonstrations to
await the word of the Central CONF
mittee.
The possibility OF a mass strike
in the Colorado sugar beet fields
on May First, therefore, is an i'm
minent possibility. After the Con-
ference the Executive Committee of
IS members met to, concretely APP
ply the decisions and drafted pro-
Carnations to the beet workers, to
the Colorado Industrial Commits
sion, to the Governor and to all
friendly organizations declaring de-
termination to struggle against the
starvation in the beet fields.
An Outstanding weakness of the
Conference was that only beet CEN
