cent conditions especially as related to speed
Up This is his report:
In the dye house of the Pacific Print Works
they have been working IL hours, from seven to
seven, straight shift-eat while you work Be-
fore the strike of october, 1881 one worker ran
two Jig machines; now he is forced to run three.
Lay Off in Print Works
The superintendent of the Print Works stated,
shortly after the strike. that he would run the
whole plant with 1000 workers instead of 1900.
This has been carried out.
In the worsted division of No. 10 Mill of the
Pacific Mills, in the English spinning depart
rnent wages before the strike we're $3.50 for a
week Of 62la hours, six sides to spinner, one
helper to each spinner; two bobbin settlers and
four doffers to a section. At present, wages for
a full week are $21, four sides to spinner But
each spinner now does his own cleaning doff-
ing, and bobbin setting; the workers who per-
formed these operations are now completely elm
mated,
In the Lower Pacific Mill, the workers are now
running four combs instead of three as before.
In the Dry Room of the Washington Mill of
the American Wooden Co, four women formerly
produced /, 400 pounds of wool day; at present
two women are forced to turn out 1900 pounds

speeded-up, and more machines given" to each

In the combing room of the same mill the
gears on the frames have been speeded-up. For

'The whole system of segregation and jim

THE. recent occurrences IN Philadelphia in the
revolutionary labor movement and the at
titude of some white "revolutionists" towards
Negro workers can be branded only as remnants
Of the old sinking slave market. In the recent
past 2 number of statements were made by
people who claim to be part Of the revolution
ary working class and adhere to the program of
the class struggle, statements of such character
that are not only an insult to the working class,
but must serve as an alarm to our Party for
sharp, vigorous and uncompromising struggle
against elements who are trying to bring into
the working class organizations the views of
sIave-owners, views which aim to prevent the
urity Of the white and Negro toilers and create
raes- prejudice within the midst of the workers.
The Party press has already dealt with some
acts Of white-chauvinism in Philadelphia. At
this time we wish to deal with some new devel-
opn1ents in this field which point to the fact
that not only are some of our mass organiza-
tons. permeated with white chauvinsn, but that
within cur own ranks We have anti-proletarian
elements which must be destroyed and elirnin-
ated from the ranks of the working class Or
CARNATIONS if those organizations are to grow
and serve as a means of mobilization of all
workers in the struggle against the common
enemy.
Willie Brown Case
From previous articles the readers of the Daily
Worker are already acquainted with the facts
Of the Willie Brown case, a framed-up Negro
youth. In preparation for a mass mobilization
on behalf of Willie Brown and for the struggle
for NEGRO rights, the International Labor De-
Tense initiated an theological discussion in the
various mass organizations. In one of the Phil
pdeIuhia branches of the international Workers
Order. Branch rs six members voted against
the LID entering such disgraceful cases."
In arguing against the LID. entering this
case, the following remarks we're uttered: What
has this case got to do with the class struggle
anyway" another one shouts: Willie Brown
is bum anyhow, he always depended on his
mother to support him" and the third one who
thought that the arguments so far presented are
net convincing, rose and loudly explained: II
am not sure that Willie Brown is not guilty
you can expect anything from Negro"
A leader Of the Philadelphia Schools of the
International Workers Order in conversation
with q comrade stated; IF I was on the jury

Only Guarded Comments Are
Made on Appointment of

MANILA, Philippine Islands, January
fo!-In Difference to the current inde-
psndencs campaign being carried on at
Washington, Filipino leaders yesterday
guarded comment on President Hoover's
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt to be
governor general of the Philippines.
President Manuel Quezon of the In
sular Senate declined to make state
ment. Roosevelt is so little known here
he has been confused in the minds of
the less informed with Nicholas RooSe-
velt whose nomination for the vice
governor generalShip in 1929 proved so
unpopular. Aat that time copies of a
book written by Nicholas Roosevelt were
burned as an expression OF public feel
ing.
The Americana owned Daily Bulletin
expressed fear the appointment would
mean another short-term governor for
the Philippines because of Roosevelt's S
record and ambitions. The paper said
the Philippines need a governor who
will stay
Gov. Gen. Dwight Davis was here
two and one-half years, but the paper
excused his resignation because he took
the post at personal sacrifice and be-
cause of feeling of public duty The
bulletin concludes its comment with
the phrase, Roosevelt should under
stand he cannot learn the job in a day
and cannot accomplish his task in a
week"
Representative Francisco Varona,
acting majority leader of the House of
Representatives, said Roosevelt's nomi-
nation appeared to indicate the admin
istration planned no change in its re-
lations with the Philippines.

that. had this hand been held by users
of that system, a slam contract IN no
trumps would have been reached and
could not have been made. While one
can select a hand to prove most any

a two bid is utterly superfiuous, for 1t

Our opponents held 1872. Using the
Culbertson honor trick table, which IS
the most accurate yardStlck there Is

was $3.50.
Saws Distribution Favored Foes.
As to luck in distribution, that seems
at the moment to be the last refuge
for the more scientific alibiS now be-
ing offered. Luck in distribution is
partly the matter of successful illnesses,
partly in suit lengths, or the ruffing
of suit making of no value aces and
kings adversely held. In this our op-
ponents had by far the best of it.
Skill in bridge is of two kinds; the
skill of the player and the accuracy
Of the system he uses. You can give
a skillful driver a poor engine, but he
would still be beaten by an equally
ShlllIu4 ollNCl CquiPpod Wllli Il OSttCl
engine The skill of the players is not
in question, so it is very apparent that
the difference of $3.50 points, with only
eight more aces and kings, is due to
the superiority of the system.
All versions of the official system of
contract bridge have for their corner
stone the optional bid of two in suit
to show a hand that is stronger than
one bids. This match has demonstrated
the utter futility of this bid. In no
case was game contract reached
through its use that would not have
been reached more scientifically and
more safely had the opening bid of one
been made In addition, by the use
of this bid, it is impossible to compute
the penalties which we might have suf-
fered had we not been warned Of the
strength of our opponents hand
