LABOR SPORTS UNION HOLDS
BIG CONVENTION In SUPERIOR
Midwest District Build Mass Sports Groups of Work
and Farmers

Superior, Wis.-Delegates of the
Labor Sports Union from Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Michigan, the Da-
kotas and Montana representing
hundreds of workers and farmers
met here on April % to discuss the
workers sports movement in the
midwest.
The convention was a huge sue
cess and it laid the basis for a
big workers and farmers sports
movement in the midwest. The
convention pointed to the necessi-
ty for organizing baseball and
kitten ball leagues and calling
united front conferences of sports
groups in order to draw in the
greatest possible number of teams
not already affiliated with the
Labors Sports Union. Junior sec
tons of all clubs will be estab-
lished for the children of workers
and farmers who are now large
ly under the influence of the boss
es. The district board of the LSU
and all committees were reorgan-
lied in order to get new rank and
file elements into the leadership
and to broaden the workers sport
movement.
Olympics ORGANIZED by Bosses
1t was clearly pointed out that
the coming Olympics are organic
ed by the bosses who spend mill
ions of dollars for it while not a
cent is given for workers sports.
Those who take part are corrupt
professionals, and no workers
from the mines or shops ever take
part. Negro workers in the last
Olympics were separated from the
White participants and discrimin-
ated against in all possible ways.
In distinction to the bosses
Olympics the Labor Sports Union
pointed out that the Workers In
ternational Athletic Meet was op-
en- to all workers and farmers of
fall colors.
