NAVY Determined
TO DEFEAT TIGERS
Sees Win as Needed Tonic
for Army Game-HoIding
Much SCrimmage.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

A NNAPOLIS, November 15.-
~ Disregarding the chances
4 \ of injuries, Rip Miller, head
coach of foot ball at Navy,
will prepare his charges for the
Princeton game with a lot of hard
Scrimmaging this week, and will
make a determined attempt to get
the team back into a winning
stride when it meets the all-con-
quering Tigers.
The Navy has contracted a winning
habit against Princeton, whether the
latters team is strong or weak. The
last time Princeton won over the lJavy
was in 1924, II to IA. and since then
the Navy has won four games and three
have been tied. Last year, in holding
Princeton to a scoreless tie, the Navy
played away above its form In any
other game.
Expects Attack to Shine.
THOUGH Princeton overwhelmed
Columbia, which, In turn, de-
feated the Navy last week, there
is nothing like despair over the out
come of Saturdays game. The Navy,
with its brilliant array of backs, is be-
lieved to be capable of far better and
more sustained offense than 1t has
shown so far, and its followers are look
Ing for 1t to burst forth in the Prince
ton game.
The belief is general that 1t will be
better to take the chances of injuries,
both in practice and in the game, than
to suffer severe defeat at Princeton,
with consequent lowering of morale for
the Army game. Therefore, Miller will
have his charges work hard this week
and will muster his full strength for
the Princeton tilt. At the same time,
all practicable care will be taken of key
players.
The Navy mentor worked on this
principle yesterday, and nearly the whole
OF the practice period was given to
working out the Nays offense. Miller
Is aiming particularly at better CO.
ordination between forwards and backs,
and viii hold more scrimmages this
week. probably every day before the
game except Friday

Rooseyelt's farm relief from stock

tack against the vast majority OF
American farmers. The farmers have
already started their counter attack.
They are running up like flags these

and taxes and rents for small farm
ers. No foreclosures. Better prices
for farmers by cutting at niddlemsn's
profits and not at the consumer.
Building special mass defense councils.
Organization Of farm laborers. Unity
with the working class. The Iowa
drurnhesd court-martials are proving
to the farmer that they can not rely
on Justice in American capitalist
courts. They must take matters into
their own strong, direct hands and

But every increase in prices Of but
ter. flour, meat, etc. decreases the
workers purchasing power and mar
rows the farmers market. Wages
always lag behind the rise Of prices
so that farmers can not expect in
creased purchasing power on the part
of workers. The farmer himself will
have to pay more for machinery, SUI
gar, feed, fertilizer, etc. During in
flation the farmer will not be able to
pay off his debts.
TO Help Mortgage Sharks
Roosevelt has also plan for light
ching the farmers mortgage burden.
Early this year the farmers militant
fight asginst forced sales compelled
the insurance companies to suspend
payments. Roosevelt's plan is to thaw
out the frozen investments Of the
bankers and insurance companies by
issuing bonds for $4,000 100000. In
surance companies and banks will be
able to exchange their holdings for
these bonds which bear per cent

But farmers will be forced to pay

lied that she had no policy.
The delegation came to demand
the immediate release Of Edith Berk-
man, Frank Borich and other mill
tant workers slated for deportation by
the U. S. Department of Labor. 1t
was one year after q similar visit to
Mr.. Doak who openly refused to take
any steps to save Edith Berkman from

piled that she had no policy.
Reporters Barred
When the delegation was ushered
into the chambers of the Department
Of Labor Perkins greeted them with a
professional smile and then ordered
all reporters from the session.
Attacks on Textile Workers
Ann Burlak, spokesman for the de-
legation outlined the entire case of
Edith Berkman. In clear detail she
described the militant struggles of the
textile workers of Lawrence in 1881
and showed how the Department of
Labor working closely with the Wool
en- Trust tried to smash the strike by
raids on the union headquarters and
the arrests of the militant leadership
of the textile workers, Edith Berkman,
Bill Murdoch and Pat Devine. She
reported how furniture was broken
up, headquarters padlocked and strike
material confiscated. Murdoch and
Devine have been deported to Scot
land and Edith Berkman is still held
prisoner by the Department of Labor,
suffering continued persecution at
the hands of immigration officials.
Berkman finally contracted tuber-
culosis and is in a sanatorium. still a
prisoner of the U. S. Labor Depart
ment.

Second Cut in Year AS
Speed-Up Increases

NEW YORK. - Traffic Department
employees Of the Associated Press,
capitalist news service, have been no
titled that per cent wage cut,
affecting between 1900 and $500
workers, becomes effective immedi-
ately.
These workers are engaged in the
transmission of the news by auto
matte teletype machines The reduc-
ton, which is the second of like
amount within year, did not extend
to the higher-paid news department.
While only two general wage slashes
have taken place in the A.P. bureaus
since the crisis, wages have been
gradually lowered in individual in
stances until the average is probably
lower than pre-war scales.
With the high-speed teletype print
ers displacing the Morse method OF
transmission, the most terrific speed
up conditions exist. 1t is planned to
further step the speed on the printer
circuits up from so to rs words per
minute. Many Morse operators, for
merly paid an average of $45 weekly,
have been reduced to the status of
printer attendants at SIS per week.
In spite of the fact that the per
cent cut made effective would reduce
individual assessments to member
newspapers Of the A. p, only few
dollars weekly the publishers de-
manded the cut in Justice" to their
own employees who, they pointed out,
have taken" several cuts.
The Associated Press is an "open
shop" concern, the American Fedora

no steps TO organize the press workers.

These prices are all below the cost
of production of the small farmer 1t
costs the average farmer from 81 to
S1.25 to raise bushel Of wheat, 16
cents to raise a pound Of cotton, and
about 20 cents to raise pound of
tobacco. But the large farmer and
the corporation farms can raise wheat
for so cents and cotton for less than
13 cents. The small farmer cannot
cut his acreage any more to get the
bounty but the large farmer can do
ten cents and tobacco for less than
so profitably and with machinery and
more fertilizer double and treble his
yield.
The whole bill is the most vicious
class legislation designed to force
small farmers out of the market. 1t
is monstrous bill which carries on
the Hoover Hyde program Of acreage
reduction and attempts to make the
farmer StaIve and rot away between
narrow fences.
The Initiation Swindle
A second scheme of Roosevelt to
raise commodity prices and help the
farmer is initiation. The initiation
bill empowers Roosevelt to issue So
900, 100000 in currency to be backed
by government bonds, to expand Gre
dit up to the same amount through
the Federal Reserve Banks, and to
devalue the dollar SO per cent. The
capitalist papers have raised the cry
that farmers income has gone up II
per cent March because of initiation.
Even if this were true, the farmer S
income would still be So per cent low
er than the first quarter Of 1929.
Though wheat has gone up to 70
cents, cotton to cents and pork to
4 cents, all this has gone into the
pockets of the spectators. Some rich
farmers have been crying for initiation
with the help of tinhorn politicians.

the purpose of the first part Of the
bill. we must fit our farming &C
tiYity to the countrys needs. We must
produce for the market that exists
actually exists. We must accommodate
our production TO the amount which
the market will take, the real market
the one we can see, the one in
which customers can actually pay for
the goods" This brazen statement
means that the more than 100000
unemployed can go to the dogs,
Such are the men who are to help
the American farmer. They will help
him by taxing nine products. Farm
ers who raise other products like po-
tatoes, beef, etc. can go hang, BY
cutting his acreage or renting his
land to the government to lie fallow
the farmer will receive a bounty
which will raise his products to the
1909-1914 prices He will get the
bounty by the imposition Of tax
on the purchaser of the nine prod
ucts. The purchaser whether he be
miller or meatpacker or milk trust
will be allowed to pass the tax on to
the consumer. The theory is that
this will boost the farmers income
about 20 per cent and will only tax
the city worker about 212 per cent.
But this bill actually means a 81
000, 100000 supersales tax flung on
top of the working class.

In summing up Burlak demanded
an end to the Doak policy, the right
to strike and to organize and the can
collation. Of the order to deport Edith
Berkman.
Mrs. Jessica Henderson of the N. E.
Committee for the Defense of Poll
tical Prisoners, another speaker, told
Of police persecution even while Edith
Berkman lay at deaths door in the
hospital. She attacked especially the
action Of Mrs. Tillinghast, N. E. I'M
migration Commissioner who, in open
alliance with the Wooden Trust in
stigated and carried out the attacks
on the textile workers union and the
leaders of the textile workers
struggles.

tional Miners Union described wildly
the terror that is taking place in the
mining fields and the assistance
given by the U. S. Department of
Labor Over nine leaders of the N.
M. q. are facing deportation. Borich's
statement was endorsed by James w.
Ford who spoke in behalf Of the Trade
Union Unity League. Ford told of
the attempt to deport native-born
Negroes to the West Indies and the
transportation of Negroes from North
to South.
At this point Perkins stood up i'm
patiently and announced that she
had another anOOintment and must
conclude the conference.
Perkins considers" the Gases
When asked point blank what she
intended to do about the cases of
Berkman and Borich, she said she
would consider them although she
has had the facts before her for a
long time and knows the details of
these cases.
Delegation Warns Perkins
When Perkins refused to make any
definite statement, the delegation
stated I'VE cannot be satisfied with
your answer Miss Perkins, you are
only evading the question. We openly
warn you that we will watch your de-
partment and if you continue the
Doak policy, we will organize and
strike against such attacks on the mi
litant workers" With this, the del
egation walked out. The delegation
called upon all workers to immedi-
ately send protest resolutions de-
handing release of Berkman, Borich
and all militants scheduled for de-
portation.

8-hour day and closed union shop,
then the victory against the cut will
not mean much.
A vast amount Of energy is being
expended in these strikes, wasted be-
cause the strike machinery is not
functioning properly. Certain indi-
viduals it seems do not believe in
systematic organization, and that re-
servoir of energy which even the
present leadership did not conceive,
is being criminally wasted because
of this.
Numerous times the United Front
Committee pointed out the necessity
for systematic organization. If the
strike is to be terminated quickly
and successfully, then the leadership
will have to make it their business
to get down to earth and oil the
strike machinery so that it may func-
ton properly. Also the shop and
eections committees must be set up
at once, as one of the guarantees
that the victories gained in the strike
will be maintained.
In Local 507, in the Bronx, the
strike committee has fallen for an
old trick of the bosses; they have
taken the advice of their lawyer not
to picket with strike signs, but to
picket with signs appealing on the
basis Of the Union Local to the con-
sunners, which is wrong, and must
be Immediately corrected.
If these shortcomings will be i'm
mediately corrected, then a success
full strike is assured.
The Bakers City United Front
Committee will continue its whole
hearted support, and calls upon every
bakery worker regardless Of what I'M
ion he belongs to, to throw himself
into the fight We also call upon
every working class organization to
continue and increase to support to
successfully terminate this strike.

PAPER BAG STRIKE

NEW YORK.-The strike of 100
workers at the Alfred Bleyer 81 Co.
paper bag shop, which started on
May 5, has tied up the plant 100
per cent.
Yesterday mass picketing of all
workers, lasting one hour, took place
in front of the shop, demonstrating
to the boss the unity and militancy
of the workers and their determine
ton to win out against 10 per cent
wage-cut and against a 20 per cent
reduction in the minimum wage.
The Plate and Bag Makers Union,
Local 507, affiliated with the A. F. of
