Key West Plays Miami Beach
Friday In State Tournament
East Coast DiamOndbaIL
Tournament To Be First
Experience OF Kind For
Key Westers

Key Vests representative in
Yhe East Coast DiamondbaIl
League will leave over the high
way Friday morning for their
scheduled game that night at z
o'clock.
This will be the first state dia-
mondball tournament Key West
has entered. ~
The Key West team is paired
against the strong Miami Beach
team. This squad is probably the
strongest in the Magic City and it
will be no surprise to the Key
Westers if they should lose the
contest.
If they are beaten, the team is
expected back by Saturday night
but in case of a win they will stay
in Miami until eliminated from the
tourney.
This same Key West team is ar
ranging a final game to, be played
Thursday night with a picked team
here in order to get in final trim
for the coming tournament.
Fans realize the difference be-
tween the fast Miami pitching and
the Key West hurting and do not
expect their team to shape up as
we'll in that department. Those in
terested in the team are mostly
banking on the hitting. If the Key
Westers can crack the upstate
pitching, they have a good chance
to win.
Those going on the trip are:
Ingraham, Lunn, Ward, Lopez,
Baker, Albury, Gates, Acevedo,
Gonzalez, Acosta, Mccarthy,
founders, Rodriguez, Artman and
Manager Jonathan Gates.

Less of the Akron

Again the highest modern engineering skill has been set at naught by the elements, re- sulting in the loss of the worlds greatest airship, the Akron, with a loss of 73 lives, only three of those on board being saved. This marks the most disastrous tragedy in the history of aeronautics.
 The Akron's fate recalls that of three other American dirigi- bles-the ZR-2, the Roma, and the Shenandoah.
 The ZR-2, built in England for the American Navy, buck led and exploded over Hull, England, on August 25, 1921. causing the death of 62 of the 66 men aboard, IT of whom were Americans, the nucleus of a crew sent to bring the ship to the United States.
 The Roma, built in Italy for the United States Army, went out of control at Hampton Roads, Va, struck electric wires, which broke, setting fire to the airship, causing the death of 35 out of a crew of 46, on February 25, 1922.
 The Shenandoah broke in three pieces and fell to earth during storm over Noble county, Ohio, on September 3, 1925, killing IA out of Al on board, and seriously injuring two others.
 At present the United States Navy has two large dirigibles, the Los Angeles, temporarily out of commission as an eco- homie measure, and the Ma con, sister ship of the Akron, just completed. In the light of what has happened to nearly every dirigible sooner or later, we may we'll ask whether they are worth while. So far they have demonstrated no capaci- ties a3 commercial carriers. More than 100 German dirigi- bles were destroyed during the war without inflicting any ser ious damage upon their ene- mics. The allies lost dozen or more, practically all they ever had. Of all the large dir igibles built since the war by various countries, only two or three remain, the rest having met with disaster.
 The whole history of dirigi- bles, like that of submarines, is

 w WHY WORRY Either you are successful or you are

 If your health is good, there is noth-

Daily Sustaining
Fund Is Answer of
Unit 4O2, Chicago

Dear Comrade Editor:
we have seen on several occasions
some justified criticism in the col
unns of the Daily about the negli-
gence of spreading the Daily Worker
amongst the broad masses in Chi
cago, the same as elsewhere. How
ever, we wish to convince you that
our district will do its best in regard
to enlarging The distribution Of the
Daily"
Here is one example how the Party
units for instance will respond. A
comrade from Unit 40 came to the
District office of the Daily Worker,
and brought $3.50 for the sustaining
fund. and also the following resolu-
ton:
Unit 400 decided to urge that every
working member of the unit should
contribute so cents a month for the
Daily Worker. The Unit also pro-
poses that all the units in the Party
should take similar action.
Don't you think that the Party
members who are working should be
examples in support of the Daily
Worker. Your answer in the Daily
Worker will be appreciated.
AN ACTIVE AGENT,
Editors Note: The building up of
the sustaining fund is very neces-
sary activity if the six-page Daily"
is to continue Another very i'm
portant task is to see that the paper
gets into the hands of the workers
the building up Of the circulation,
especially among the shop workers
in the base industries, of which
there are many in Chicago. Follow
the example of comrades in other
localities, particularly in District ID,
of getting shop workers to write OF
their own conditions, and then or
ganize a sale at the gates of the
factory of the issue in which the
letter is published. Doing this sys-
tematically on the same day OF each
week will bring organizational re-
suits, and root the Daily" among
these strategic employed workers.

a membership of $50. Because of un-
employment they now have around
100 paying dues. -
All the others have been dropped
because they could not keep up their
dues. Some of them have been MEM
bers and paid dues regularly for 35
years and more. They built up the
Union AAC
We dropped members have had a
rotten deal, but we are not taking
it lying down. We have organized
ourselves. We are all broke, but that
did not stop us. We elected a COM
mittee to find a hall rent-free to
hold a meeting for one hour.
They walked all over town, tried
the fraternal halls, clubs, real estate
agents, Building Trades Council, but
got turned down because we had no
dough. Tired, weary, the committee
as last resort, applied to the Com
munists. expecting to be turned down
there also. But they were welcomed
like brothers.
Draw Up Demands
They were given a hall to hold as
many meetings as they needed and
told to call on them for any help or
assistance they wanted to get organ
lied. Believe me, every member great
ly appreciated it. We called a meet
ing and packed the hall. We elected
chairman and secretary and drew
up the following demands and sent
them to the International Union in
Washington:
All dropped members to be, given a
clear book placed in good standing
and to be exempt from paying dues
while out Of work. To take effect at
once. The demands were sent by
registered letter to Secretary Gleason,
If our demands are not met, we
are going to form an independent
local.
After our meeting one of the Com
munists, who is a worker in the
building trades, addressed the meet
ing. He was greatly applauded at
the end of his address by every mem
Der present.
Every town and city in the United
States must have about the. same
percentage of dropped members as
New Haven. We have notified
dropped members all over the state
of Connecticut to take similar action
in every town and city.
All you dropped members in other
states, take similar action. Make it
nation wide. Let it take in every city
from East to West.
AS matters stand now, II a dropped
member wishes to be reinstated, he
must pay up all dues for the time
he was dropped and an assessment

Big Los Angeles Store
Adds Help by Cutting Pay

LOS ANGELES.-The Broadway,
one of the largest department stores,
with several thousand employees in
all departments, has added 400 work
ers to its departments. But the addi-
ton of 400 workers was accomplished
by vicious 1928 per cent wage

FewCottonFa Farmers
Benefit from Govt
Destruction Plan

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-With the
boom of cotton prices over, the small
farmers and share-croppers are be-
ginning to realize that they were de-
ceived by the promises of the adj
ministration which persuaded them
to pillow up their cotton.
During the summer months, the
landlords and SPECTATORS took adj
vantage of the higher price to sell
at a good profit the cotton they had
stored since last Fall.
Now that the small farmers have
picked their crop they find falling
market. In desperation many of
these farmers are refusing to carry
out their contract to plow under.
But stark terror is riding the cot
ton fields to force these farmers to
destroy their crops.
In Darlington Sounty, S. c., night
riders pulled up the cotton on about
80 acres of land belonging to farm
ers who refused to destroy their
crop. In the ruined fields were signs
reading, might Riders Administra-
ton"
Burn Farmers Cotton
On other farms, sheriffs and dep
uties have applied pillow and torch
to do away with the cotton of farm
ers who now refuse to destroy their
one means of livelihood. Three
Marion County farms in Columbia,
Miss, were forcibly plowed under,
and the cotton burned, by sheriff's
deputies. Thirteen hundred pounds
of seed cotton went up in smoke.
The desperate plight of the small
farmers and troopers is reflected in
telegram to President Roosevelt
from the Alabama Merchants Asso-
citation, which finds that goods
cannot be sold to farmers without
money or crop. The telegram says:
merchants throughout Alabama
report farmers are protesting Bit
terly that the price of cotton is
lower since the acreage plow-under.
With 100 per cent advance in -four
and cotton goods, farmers see no
hope"

''split shifts" which force workers to
remain idle downtown, or pay addi-
tional transportation to go home and
back to work.
The above facts show that the
MIRA is aimed against the workers
and the small business concerns who
are being driven to the wall by the
government which is working for the
big bosses. The big capitalists are
utilizing public opinion" here to
force NRA membership on small
firms. 1t is necessary to show this
clearly to all workers who are being
deceived into thinking that the MIRA
is aimed at Capitalists"
The Rosslyn coffee shop, at 5th ST.,
between Main and Broadway, has
boosted its prices from 10 to 20 per
cent, but its employees have received
no wage increase. The customers have
also noticed a considerable reduction
in the quantity of food served at the
higher prices. To the bosses, MIRA
means greater opportunities to rob
workers and consumers.
