$500 at Bazaar Friday
About $500 workers crowded the
N. Y. District, I. L. D. Defense Ba-
zaar at Manhattan Lyceum, 66 East
4th st., on Sam Weinstein Night,
Friday. The Weinstein case and the
evidence given at the trial which
proved Weinstein's innocence beyond
a doubt and the tricks used by the
prosecution to convict Weinstein were
briefly outlined by Morris Kamman,
educational director of the N. Y,
District, I. L. D. The large audience
was deeply silent as Kamman an
nounced the sentence given Wein-
stein by the bosses court. Immedi-
ately, however, workers in the audi
ence shouted, I'VE must help Sam
Weinstein!" The shouts were taken
up by the entire audience, which in
one prolonged shout Numbered forth
a pledge to support the N. Y. Dis
trict, I. l.. D. and the Weinstein De-
Tense Committee in the fight to
smash the frame-up of Weinstein.

Pledge to Raise $1,000 for the
Daily; Set National Quotas
Friday Contributions Are $780, All Districts
Turnout Country Must Speed Funds!

Broadcssting the following appea
throughout the country, the Jewish
Childrens Schools of the Interna-
tional Workers Order yesterday
pledged themselves to raise 81 900 in
the drive to save the Daily Worker:
THE Daily Worker, the only AM
erican workers daily in the English
language, Is at present in extremely
critical circumstances. 1t needs i'm
mediate help. Our schools and school
organizations, as part of the militant
workers movement, are obliged to
help secure the existence of the or
gan Of the revolutionary working class
in the United States. The National
School Committee therefore pledges
to raise 81 900 for the Daily Worker. >
In connection with It's pledge, the
following quotas were allowed to
schools in different cities:
New York, $500; Philadelphia,
SIS; Boston, $40; Detroit, $45; Los
Angeles, $40; Cleveland, SIS; Balti-
more, SIS; Norfolk Portsmouth, SIS;

ton, $40; Youngstown, $40; Plain
field, 10; Monticello, $40; Toledo,
S..
Fridays total contributions to the
Daily Worker were $81088, which kept
pace with the previous days total
OF $8022l. This is far from enough
in the present crucial situation. Apart
from New York's $454.99, the follow
ing districts responded to the 'Daily's'
call for help: Detroit, $75.2s; Bos-
ton, $4645; New Jersey, $39; Mil
waukee, $3.50, and Cleveland, $25. 90.
The International Workers Order
branches contributed $71.85.
In order to continue publication
this week, it is absolutely essential
that ALL DISTRICTS in the west
and nliddle-west give their FULL
SUPPORT to the Daily Worker. The
workers in New York have been go
ing at top speed and have raised
more than half of their quota. The
other districts with big quotas--Bos.
ton, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit,
Chicago, California and New Jersey
must get to work. And other dis
trtcts, like Seattle (Which again
failed to contribute Friday, Califor-
MIA, Buffalo, Minnesota and Milwau-
kee, must Immediately speed up their
collections and donations!

ocratic president is about to assume
office.

youths through the use of military
training camps as a relief measure

being trained.

with the Progress Of the craft Il wa
possible to see that the poor brute on
the moving ice was big Newfound-
land, pitiflIly thin, emaciated, almost
exhausted. He made his way slowly
down to the edge, and then, Is the
boat came near. jumped into the sea
and swan as best he could toward
rescue. A score of hands reached out
to him, but 1t was Boatswain McCready
who had the honor Of hauling him
aboard.
Had he been man like themselves,
the dog could have had no more con-
siderate reception. He was tended with
devoted care. BY the day the Cyrus
Field arrived at Halifay he was in an
approximation of normal condition. The
crew formally adopted him as q mascot,
and christened him, properly enough.
Berg. It was surmised that he was one
Of q number Of dogs lost by seal hunt
ers on the Newfoundland coast at the
height Of the season, and that he has
been q prisoner on the foe for several
weeks.
A cheer is in order for Capt. Beadon
and his men, and another cheer should
be accorded the brave animal they
saved. They did their duty, and he
proved his right to their aid-with less
stout courage and less ardent hope he
might have perished long before they
came. St. Francis of Assist, who called
even the wolf a brother, would have
loved the story. It may be presumed
that many, possessed in some part Of
his spirit, likewise will appreciate the
saga of Berg, and that his name, with
those of his friends, will be enduringly
remembered

Morgan Stock Sales Just
Good Business Judgment

To the Editor OF The Star:
Three or four years ago motor mag
nate sold in one block one hundred
thousand shares of stock in a company
OF which he was then and is now
president. The stock was then quoted
at $4,000 per share. He sold at one
hundred dollars per share. 1t was not
an act of altruism. If the stock had
been peddled out in small lots 1t Is
doubtful If the sales would have aver
aged $100, and, if the source sof the
selling had been known (and lit GER
tainly would have been) the entire mar
ket Tor motor and other shares would
have been adversely affected. Itis gen.
orally conceded that the sale was an
evidence Of good business judgment.
The sale of two hundred and fifty
thousand shares of Allegheny Corpora-
ton at $40 was neither dishonest nor
unwise. Mr.. Whitney said in his let
ters offering the stock "the price is now
between $35 and s37; this. of course,
spseniate mssnS little except that people like to
If Morgan brokers land they are
well known had offered the stock the
price would have broken so badly that
certainly Stock Exchange price Of
$40 or less would have been reached be-
fore many thousand shares hid been
sold If the transaction puts a. strain
on the faith Of cynically- minded pub
lie" 1t Is because the public is ignorant.
The explanation Of the transaction
is that the house Of Morgaa wished to
unload two hundred and fifty thousand
shares of stock at a price which they
deemed fair and offering possibility Of
profit to those who accepted the offer.

that the umpire had the last ~ well
as the first word. and therefore the
bail was fair and the run scored.
An umpire's Judgment must be final.
Else there would be no real ball games,
but the playing field would be the
scene of violent debates, even more
than at present. There is q provision
in the rules that the umpire who
renders q decision may, If he so elects,
refer the question to an associate UNI
pire, who may thereon give his testi-
mony, which II adverse is supposed to
be accepted. But yesterday the chief
justice Of the contest disdained to refer
the matter to one of his brethren
and so the appeals of the home players
for a supplementary ruling were fruit
less. Consequently the ball was fair
and the home run scored.
Base ball decisions are always matters
of instant Judgment. The umpire must
act Immediately. II his eye betrays him
his decision Is wrong. Obviously it Is
difficult for an umpire standing at the
home plate to determine whether a
curving ball passes over the barrier on
one side or the other of the foul line
at the instant of clearing the fence.
And 1t must be said, too, that the spec
tators, in even the most favorable posi-
tion-and only few are so situated
are no more capable than he of de-
termining the fact. Furthermore, they
are likely to be Influenced by emotions
OF which the umpire is supposed to be
wholly free.
The game was played to . finish
under protest, but unhappily for the
home team the rules forbid any re-
versal by the court of last resort of the
decisions Of umpires in matters Of judg-
ment. So yesterdays home run will
undoubtedly remain home run and
the game will stand as recorded, vic
tory for the Yankees. It Is just such
situations that make the game of base
ball SO intensely interesting to the null
titude, and there would seem to be no
way short Of some ingenious device such
as an electric eye" to avert them.

Home Run or Foul Ball?

: When is a home run not a home
run2 The Washington players yester-
day declared that the answer to this
question Is that home run Is not
a home run when it Is a foul ball.
The umpire in chief, In supreme COM
mand Of the game at Grifith Stadium,
asserted that ball hit over the fence
within fair territory Is a home run
OF the verify OF both OF these def
nitions there Is no question whatever
Wherefore the twenty-minute dispu-
tation that held up the game while
the rain was falling, and pop bottles
were likewise descending7 Simply be.

The Saga of Berg.

1t may seem remarkable, but II is
true that a considerable portion Of the
current news OF any average day Is con-
cerned with dumb animals. Not by any
means do human beings have an exclu-
Sive monopoly of the varieties Of expert
ence which make the bulk Of the con-
tents Of the papers. Wild creatures of
every kind and domesticated species Of
every description are reported at gen.
erous length. Now and again an indi-
vidual bird, cat or dog attains the dis
tinction of front-page mention. OF the
last named class is the saga Of Berg,
told by the Associated Press corre-
spondent at Halifax, N. 8.
According to that chronicle, Capt.
Richard Beadon Of the cable ship Cyrus
Field on May II was guiding his vessel
through the ice foes of Bonavista, when
Quartermaster Young happened to no
tice a moving speck on an ice sheet
far out over the water. Young d.
rected the captains attention to the OBJ
JeCL, dllu LilC CdPCdIA iCoSiiCN 4OA AiA3'
telescope. Only moments study
through the glass was required. "A
castaway dog" was the verdict.
There was the problem: What should
be done? Should the ship 60 on about
its proper business, or should 1t engage
in an act Of mercy? Nothing in the
mariners code compelled Capt. Beadon
to change his course in dogs behalf
Nothing, that is, except the unwritten
law Of mans regard for his most Loyal
animal friend. Nothing except the
natural human instinct to give helr
where help Is needed. But that was
enough. The ship swung around in the
right direction.
The crew crowded to the rail. A
thrill Of excitement ran through the
heart Of each spectator. As the In.

A Nuisance North of
Chevy Chase Circle
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your good editorial protesting against
the cutting up Of Thomas Circle Will be
very much appreciated by the thinking
people of the Nations Capital. AS you
we'll point out, dangerous precedent
will be established and 1t seems 50 un-
necessary.
Just what is all this hurry? During
the rush hours morning and evening
the average automobile driver Is Ger
tainly curious animal.
Following that editorial see that
Mr.. Justice Peyton Gordon has rem
dered q very important decision IN re-
gard to coming of what is left OF Chevy
Chase Circle In the District OF Co.
lumbia.
I presume that it will not be possible
to get Justice Gordon to extend his
jurisdiction about three hundred feet
onto the Maryland side OF that circle,
now being beautif1ed with fountain.
The situation on the opposite side OF
the circle is simply ridiculous and 1t
will only be corrected, I presume, when
some one Is killed in the bottle neck be-
tween the street cars, the ice cream
wagons, the venders, the taxicabs and
the buses that now infest that inter-
section.
1t Is hardly possible to get through
the bottle neck for two hours in the
afternoon, due to the fact that the
taxicabs, the ice cream wagons with the
District of Columbia tags. which stand
very carefully over the line in the State
of Maryland, and women In automo-
biles waiting for their husbands park
as close to the landing place as possible.
Then, too, there is a very exciting
game there most afternoons when the
taxicab drivers and others play Throw
the knife" into one of the beautiful
trees that fringe the retaining wall In
front of the Corby estate. It Is really
quite an exciting game and you should
come out some time.

was only natural that pent-up emotion
should express itself in q celebration,
the very accounts of which are stirring.
One can hardly measure the gratitude
which is being felt in North Alabama
toward the President. II those thus af-
fected will take to heart Mr.. Roosevelt's
admonition, they viii prove that they
can temper rejoicing with discernment. !"
The Cincinnati Times-Star sees "po-
tential Government competition with
ten private companies which operate In
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Ten
nessee, have investments Of $700 ,000, 900,
pay taxes of $1,000 900 and have ia, 900
stock and bond holders, and potential
competition with ten private companies
which make nitrates at various points
in the country and have a capacity OF
more than 100000 tons Of nitrogen,
which Is 40 per cent above the Nations

Is described by the Dayton Daily News

Is an expert on valleys, as well as skilled
