Golf Analysed
BY JOE CLASS

TT has been pointed out how the
i breaking Of the left leg during
the backswing has to be accom-
plished in a way that will not de-
stroy a balanced pivot. Using Harry
Cooper as a model. it was shown
that when the left knee breaks for
ward the left side would drop down
were it not that the left ankle
breaks. too, permitting the left heel
to come up and so enabling the
leg to keep the whole left side at
proper level.
Cooper, it was pointed out, breaks
his left knee only enough to per-
nit proper body turn and brings
his left heel up only enough to
keep the left side balanced with the
right. There is very good reason

THE LYING TIMES
by a Worker Correspondent.)

tBy WORKER COrreSp0nOent)
An article appeared recently in the
Times which shows the crude at
tempts Of the capitalist press to dis
tort the truth about the Soviet Union
A headline reads that 10000 coal
miners quit work in the Don Basin.
To quote:
t"Unskilled workers have replaced
trained men and they receive rs to
100 rubles per month while their
food costs them a minimum of from
10 to 120 rubles a month"
The article goes on to say that
the workers couldn't earn enough to
live on and so quit. The second half
of the piece, however, lists the prices
Of various foods and gives the
amount for one man for one month.
This, when added up, amounts to a
total cost to the worker of SO rubles,
n kopecks! This includes IA pounds
of meat, pounds Of fish, 5 dozen
eggs, and so on.
Thus we see that workers can ex-
pect nothing but lies from these
sheets and more and more it is neces-
sary for all workers to spread our
own paper, the Daily WorkerI

1778 Park Place, Brooklyn, an unem-
ployed worker with three children, 8,

commit suicide in the park at Leor :

Makowski was later brought to the
Williamsburg Unemployed Council,
where he stated he owed several
months rent, there was no food or
electricity in his house, and he faced
eviction. Neighbors had prevented
his wife from committing suicide the
previous night. He had registered at
the Brownsville Home Relief Bureau
but got only the usual fake promise
that an investigator would be sent.
The Brownsville Unemployed Coun-
Gil is now taking up his case to or

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 26.-James

writes in the Baltimore Sun on rack

Oneal regrets there has been SO much
publicity about it, for it 'hurts the

thing will come out all right because
Edward F.. McGrady, legislative
agent of the A. F. of L. and man
of high ideals, has been investigating
charges of racketeering in the
unions"
Fur workers who remember how
this same McGrady was sent in in
1926 and 1927 to smash their union
and crush them down to low wages,
a condition they are Just now getting
out of by defeating McGrady's gang,
will like to know that McGrady's
work is significant of what Socialist
leader calls "high ideals"
Oneal has no other cure for loot

Militant workers in the A. F. of L.

the first time heard the message Of
our workingclass organizations. ~
Two years ago our meetings were
broken up, workers were slugged and
arrested. We realized that in order
to make Roadway we would have to
root ourselves amongst tie Mt. Vernon
workers.
With the sharpening Of the crisis,
the Negro workers, suffering the
worst hardships, were ready to listen
to US and the results are one party
unit, one YCL unit, one LID branch,
and a workers center.
The whole ploice force was or
ganized to intimidate the workers and
to keep them away from our meeting,
but they failed to do so. At this
meeting, 8 new members Joined the
Joe York branch of the LID. Many

Brooklyn Workers
Defeat HOOdIums


NEW YORK-An open air meet
ing held recently, under the auspices
Of the Communist Party and the
Young Communist League, at 5oth
Street and 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, was
attacked by large groups of hoodlums
organized by the Democratic Party
and the American Legion, but due
to the militancy of the workers pres
ent they did not succeed in attaining
their aim. When one of the speakers,
Comrade Blum, told the workers
that this is their meeting, held by
their party the Communist Party,
the workers applauded and did not
let the fascist carry out their dirty
work.
At the close of the meeting the
committee and the speakers had to
walk quite distance. The fascists
saw their chance to attack the COM
mittee and speakers and organized
group. to follow them. At Seventh
Avenue and 10th Street, this brave
mob finally decided to attack. Al
though the committee was small, they
were able to resist the attack, with
the result that some Of the mob were
also beaten up.
The police in the territory conve-
niently disappeared during the at
tack. Later they tried to arrest the
speaker and the committee, but they
didn't dare to do so because Of the
attitude of the workers present.
Election campaign meetings will be
held on the same corner every Friday

TURN LABOR DAY into A DAY OF
CLASS STRUGGLED" CALL OF 7. U. u. |.
At Meetings Demands for Unemployment Insurance For
Fight Against Wage Cuts For Votes for Foster and Ford

The a. F. Of L. helps to put through
wage cuts and break strikes, and
therefore supports the terror against
workers who resist cuts or demand
food for the jobless.
And the Socialist Party and Music
elements support the A. F. of L..
The logical result Of this policy is
seen in Germany, where 1t brought
about the Won Papen government of
terror, and new attacks on the work
ers' standards of living, and paves
the way for Hitler and still more
vicious attacks.
Vote for Foster and Ford
And the T. U. U. L. calls:
LET us refuse to hear the boss
politicians, who stand for the pro-
gram Of wage cuts, no relief, irnperi-
alist war. Let us, instead, resolve to
support and participate in the cleo
lions on the side Of the only party
that fights against the above pro-
gram-the Communist Party, whose
whole history is one of devotion, 10y
atty and uncompromising struggle in
cur interests. A party whose stand
ard bearers, the candidates for Pres
ident and Vice-PresidEnt. are the
two well-known leaders of the strug-
giles of the workers, William z. Foster,

New Terror GANG
Formed in Ohio
Communist Candidate
Calls for Defense

John Marshall, Communist candi-
date for Governor Of Ohio writes:
From Athens, Ohio, comes the
news Of the formation of vigilante
committee to combat violence in the
coal region. Old timers in the labor
movement will not be deceived by
this statement. They know how Wig
ilantes in the past have been active
in smashing militant labor unions
and in terrorizing its members.
ut was vigilantes which IN 1917
hanged the organizer, Frank Little
to a railroad trestle at the time of
the copper strike in Butte, Montana
Again in 1918 vigilante mob armed
with sawed-off shotguns herded LOO
unarmed striking copper workers at
Bizbee, Arizona, onto box cars and
shipped them out into the desert,
where they were left without water
in the gruelling heat of the desert
sun.
t"This revival of the Infamous vigi-
lantes is given an Apologize intro
duction by the capitalist press, which
claims that it will do no night riding,
make no raids 1t will confne itself
to detecting crime In other words,
this modern vigilante gang will be
used to frame-up militant miners
who are now leading the struggle in
the Hooking Valley.
1.-THE capitalist newspapers state
that Governor White and the sheriff
of Athens County and the Com
mander of the National Guard are
all highly in favor of the new organ
ization.
"Athens is a college town and con-
tains q large number of the sons of
business men, who are the class NEST
frequently organized against the
workers. The National Student
League should get on the job there.
1.-THE miners of the Hooking VAL
ley must meet this new offensive of
the operators with increased mass
picketing, more thorough organiza-
ton, creation of special defense
squads, and by voting for the Com
munist Party and it's candidates, the
only party which stands ,four-square
against all forms of boss-class
terror"
