that he must examine the court re-

Mel'S homer was the only extra
base hit of the game, which saw only
two bases on balls, which were given
by Hubbell successfully in the eighth.
Up to the jittery ninth, the play was
a bit anti-climatic to the pre-game
xc.tement. The $4,000 who stood

were engaged in bitter struggle
against the mill owners.
In 1926 he was deported from Ger

Abandon 80 Hour
Demand in Ladies'
TaiIOrs' Strike
ILGW Manager in a
Secret Session
With MIRA.

NEW YORK.-About $500 workers
are involved in the general strike of
ladies' tailors, dressmakers and alter
alton workers called by Local SO of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union. The strike enters its
second week with many shops lost
in the 1880 strike participating in the
walk out.
Early in the strike the officials of
the I.L,G.W. showed their readiness
to abandon the demand for a 30
hour week for which the strike was
called, and now call for a 35-hour
week. The demand for a 30-hour
week along with demands for in
creaseS of 20 per cent in wages and
an unemployment insurance fund had
been voted and approved by the
members.
During the last week the strike has
been without any rank and file lead
ership, the conduct of the strike hay
ing been placed in the hands of a
small committee appointed by Green
burg, the locals manager. A gen.
eral strike committee, which is non
functioning, was also appointed by
the officials. There is no representa-
ton of the shops on the committee.
Just as in the Milgrim shops, the
Spectator, Carnegie shop, is per-
mitted to have one union department
working while the other is on strike.
Negotiations for settlement are now
in progress, with not single rank and
file member represented.
The left wing group in the union
is urging all strikers to prevent a
repetition Of, the sell-out of 1880 and
to organize to demand and fight for
rank and file representation on the
general strike and settlement COM
mittees.

Importance Of Communist
Registration Is Stressed

NEW YORK.-The Importance
of registering Communist during
the registration days on Monday,
October 9th to Saturday., October
18th, was emphasized again yes
terday by the Communist Election
Campaign Committee, 799 Broad
way, New York City through it's
manager Carl Brodsky.
SIN the 1882 elections the Com
munist Party won an important
victory in New York State by gain
ing enough votes to give the Party
official recognition. By reason of
this new status, the Party has set
up State Committee and will set
up various county and city COM
mittees throughout the State as
the permanent election apparatus
of the Party" he said.
"Next year, 1884, these commit
tees will be elected by the enrolled
voters of the Communist Party

who will also nominate the Party
candidates in the next years cleo
ton. This will be done by a pri-
mary election.
Because of this, the matter of
enrolment with the Party by all
revolutionary and sympathetic
workers, this year, at the time of
registration, becomes of prime i'm
portance."
Brodsky also pointed out that
the candidates of the Party and
the Party's election committees can
be nominated only by primary
election, so that if there is no
enrolment, the Party will not be
able to nominate candidates.
EVERY worker should take ad-
vantage Of the right to enroll with
the Party so that he may have
voice in selecting the Party's can
didates and election officials" he
