Erskine and McAlister Ex- pected to Pitch in Cru
 cial Game of Half

In a game that will have an important if not a decisive bear ing on the winning of the first half of the City Baseball Leagues season, the Elks and Veterans will clash tonight at City Park. The two clubs are tied for first place now, each having won five and lost a pair of games, and each has just two more to play before the first half ends.
 The club winning tonight will be a full game ahead of the loser. And even though it should lose it's final game and the other win, it can do no worse than tie for first place.

FOUR MEMBERS OF WASHbURN
 PARTY ARRIVE
Will Make Scientific Study of Crillon G1a cier-
 May Scale Mountain

Four members of the Washburn Expedition are in Juneau today, registered at the zynda Hotel, af- ter arriving last evening on the Princess Norah. Those who are here now are Dick Goldwthait, Rus sell Dow, A.. L. Washburn, and Robert Stix.
 The group expects to go in at the end of the week to the Crillon Lake base camp, and are awaiting the arrival of Bradford Washburn, head of the expedition, who is ex- pected to come Saturday of this week on the Alaska.
 Here Before
 The organization is the same = has been carrying on surveys and explorations for the past several years, although some of the mem bers will be new to Alaska this year. Heretofore known as the Washburn-Fairweather Expedition, the name has been abandoned, as operations will be centered around Mount Crillon and the Crillon gla- cier this year.
 The men who will be engaged in the survey are all college stu- dents or prospectives of Harvard and Dartmouth. Another section of the party is expected near the end of June, which will be com- posed of Adams Carter, Ted Stree ter, Waldo Holcombe, Harold Kel- logg, Henry Woods, and D. Put nam.
 Finances are privately supplied although the expedition is backed to some extent by the Geological Society of America, the two col leges providing the scientific equip ment.
 Scientific Study
 The objective is scientific stu dy of Crillon Glacier. Measure ments will be taken of the motion of the ice mass. Banding will be studied. And soundings will be ta- ken to determine the depth of the ice.
 During July, party will be on Mount Crillon. This is the section expected the latter part of this month.
 A large amount of equipment and instruments will be in use during the summer, much of which is on it's way here now, the eXpe- dition having been held up for some time by the Seattle strike. The departure had been planned for the first part of this month.
 May Meet Obstacles
 While in Seattle, MT. Washburn took a flight over Mount Rainier, and the absence of snow on the peak has given rise to doubts whether or not it will be possible to scale Crillon this present year. Last year, climbers came within 800 feet of the peak, but they had many snow bridges which will not be dependable if there is a short age of snow on the mountain this year. Members of the party stat ed that when there is shortage of snow much trouble is met in crossing crevasses.
 It is planned to complete the summers work some time in Au- gust, depending upon the condi- tions met and the progress of the work.
 Will Take Movies
 Movies are to be taken this year. as was done last year, and the Alaska-Southern Airways planes will be used for aerial photo graphy. Some of the skiing pie lures made last year were used by Grantland Rice in one of his Sportlights.
 Those who were here last year are Bradford Washburn, Dick Goldwait, Russell Dow and Adams Carter. Henry Woods, who is one of the second section of the ex- petition was National Down-hill ski champion last year.

WHAT KIND OF WORKER
DO THE BOSSES LIKE?

Gazette printed the story of an I'M
named worker who had written in
asking how to feed a family of four
on SIS a week, the amount allowed
by the local welfare. A few weeks
ago, it seems, he went to a dentist
because his mouth was sore. The
dentist diagnosed it as trench
mouth, and pulled all his top teeth
He sold some furniture to pay the
dentist, and investigated trench
mouth. He learned that it is COM
mon among the poor, whose food is
improper and inadequate.
Strange" he exclaims, that
such a conditions should exist in
the richest country in the world At
40 he is a grandfather. He has
been working since he was Is. Until
three or four years ago, he was al
ways able to earn living. Now he
can't"
Strange, indeed! Strange, that
Friend Worker never suspected
there was something wrong with
the system. But he didn't.
Il feel sure he concluded-and
can't you see Mr.. Heath patting him
approvingly on the back-"that we
will all be better off next year at
this time"
This, workers, is the ideal the
Haverhill Gazette holds up to you
not that wild Communist" Porro!

Wage Cutting
Ain, Of Curley
Con.fe ence

BY a Shoe Worker Correspondent
BOSTON, Mass.-"Governor- elect
Curley will meet with eleven mayors
of shoe cities to discuss the crisis in
the shoe industry and plan to stop
the removal of shops" This is an
nounced in the capitalist press.
This conference, called by Curley
for Nov. 18th, is result of the fact
that the situation has become so
alarming for cities like Lynn and
Haverhill, where the cities actually
face a breakdown because the en-
tire population depends upon the
shoe industry for a livelihood. Then
the failure of the bosses and their
agents to enforce wage cuts, makes
them look to the city and state gov
ernments as the last resort to help
them carry through cut.
The general officials of the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union
instead of preparing the workers for
struggle, are now pinning all their
hopes on the reopening of the shoe
code and are soliciting the help OF
the manufacturers, city and state
governments to bring pressure or
Washington.

Textile Workers Get

Men in NesC Orleans Fired for Union ActiUits
Sometimes Get Hearing, But Never q Job

plants in this city do not pay very
much attention to the rulings OF
the Labor Relations Board. It has
been proven time and time again
that the union leaders are fired be-
cause of their union activities, and
that the Labor Board does nothing
about it.
Jim Hardiman, the president OF
Local 17s3 Of the U.T.W., was fired
last year and is still out. Herbert
Sheppard, the vice-president Of the
Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers
Union, has been fired until it looks
like a habit
Not only are the officials of these
unions Disseminated against, but
the rank and file as well. During
the strike at the Lane Mill last fall,
all those who were arrested for their
militancy were blacknsted by Oden-
heimer. At the time Of the strike
Odenheimer and his slave drivers
set themselves up as judges, and re-
CARELESS of why worker was ar
rested, he was classed as a criminal
and put on the blacklist.
The Labor Relations Board did
nothing about it, not even were the
workers allowed to defend them
selves against the charges before the
Board. Several of the workers put
their cases before the Labor Board,
but when the time came for hear
ing they were not allowed to be
present. They we're represented by
Mr.. Odenheimer and the workers
never had a chance from the be-
ginning.
There was a number of the people
that did not put their cases before
this Labor Board, because they knew
that it was useless to do 50, for only
industry was represented on the
Board. They knew that labor would
get small consideration, for there is
not and has not been a worker on
the Labor Board. The nearest thing
to a worker that has ever been on
the board is James Dempsey, who
was the president of the Central
Trades and Labor Council, and who
is now a Constable in the Criminal
Court Building. 1t has always been
known that a person could not
serve two masters.

ny d SAAUE NNOAANI
HAVERHILL, Mass.-Last Thurs
day the Unemployed Council of the
United Shoe and Leather Workers
Union invited all candidates in the
city election to speak on their plans
for the unemployed.
OF course they all said they
"sympathized" with us. The truth
Of the matter is that it was cleo
ton time and it didn't cost much
to make promises. Still more i'm
portant, our unemployed council is
forging ahead in spite of all the
sabotage on the part of the reac-
tionaries and the manufacturers.
At this same mass meeting we
elected a committee of three to pre-
sent to the City Council our de-
mand for cash relief instead of
script, and for the opening up of a
cafeteria for the single unemployed
with union wages for those en-
ployed in this cafeteria
Since Mayor Dalrymple heard Of
these decisions being made at our
meeting, and because he is coming
up for reelection, he made state
ment in Saturdays Gazette that he
is for the cafeteria and that he
will try 10 open it. Or course he
is saying this for his own political
reasons, and will try to take credit
for the idea But we are interested
not in who takes credit, but in not
starving, therefor we are going to
hold Dalrymple and the other po-
liticians to their promises. The del
egation going to the City Council
meeting will also present The
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill (H. R. 1899 for en-
dorsement by the City Council.
Our Unemployed Council has been
organized only five weeks and has
already accomplished many things
such as spreading thousands of
copies of the Workers Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance Bill, and
the getting of employment for some
single men on F. E. r. A. jobs. We
will gain many more victories.
The local Vigilance Committee,
which recently tried to help the
manufacturer, Mr.. Emerson, put
over 20 per cent wage cut and lay
off so per cent of the crew, in do
ing all it can to discourage and
disrupt our unemployed council and
union. We have exposed many enc
mics of the workers such as Nolan,
Kelleher, City Solicitor George
Karelitz, Dr. Kapp and lawyer
Thomson the heads of the Vigil
ance Committee. We will continue
to expose all those that stand in the
way of the workers in their fight
to better their conditions.

UniOnPIOt
Defeated
By a Shoe Worker Correspondent

HAVERHILL, Mass-The Haver-
hill Vigilance Committee, with
some of their agents in the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union,
are attempting to pull of the same
stunt that was pulled off in Lynn
at the Stitchers Local in regards to
the flag saluting idea.
These same agents tried hard to
smash the unemployed movement
and the struggle for unemployment
insurance. They got their friends to
make motions against the fight at
the meetings. These agents fight
like ostricCles, with their heads in
the sand. They come to the unem-
ployed mass meetings, sit in the
back, and when asked to state their
objections to this whole movement,
they don't dare to.
Every time the boss wants to give
wage cut, these agents say, We'll
see Kareltz, the union lawyer" This
Kareltz tried to become the union
lawyer, but did not succeed as we all
remembered him as the local city
solicitor. The local city government
tried to get him to act as stool
pigeon for them. But he did not
succeed, as the majority of the To-
Gals would not accept him.
This so-called friend of labor"
was exposed by Alfred Porro, agent
of the Lasters' Local, who caught
Kareltz openly at meeting with
the Citizens Committee advocating
a 20 per cent wage cut and so per
cent lay-off of the crews "in order
to save the shop
After this exposure, even the
agents of the Stitchers' Local don't
dare say, "Well see Kareltz." Every
day we are learning who our friends
are and who our enemies are.
The local DR.. Kapp, head of the
Vigilance Committee, has been try
ing to form company union, but
ne hasn't been successful. The
manufacturers are trying hard to
smash the union.
The only real friends we have
are the Communists, who not only
expose the tricks of the bosses and
their agents but they also do all
they can to help us better our con-
ditions. I have never seen a Com
munist speak for wage cut,
speed-up, discrimination and other
lousy conditions.
Look how Alfred Porro, agent of
the Lasters' Local, Marina Brando-
lini, member of the District Coun-
Gil, and Joe Costello, all known
Communists, are fighting in every
movement that helps the workers.
We must all try as hard as these
people do to better our conditions.
Let us put our shoulder to the
wheel Let us all go to our local
meetings and better the situation in
our own locals. If we stay away
from local meetings, it makes it
easier for those who are always
willing to please the bosses to get
away with their dirty work.

LOCO S ign Petitions
for New N.R.A.
Hearing
By a Shoe Worker Correspondent


HAVERHILL, Mass. - Over a
thousand shoe workers in Haverhill
have signed a petition to reopen
hearings on the miserable shoe code
now practiced.
the movement for this petition
was started by a group of rank and
file brothers and sisters and intro
duced in the District Council of the
United Shoe and Leather Workers
Union. Already these petitions have
been sent to Washington.
The shoe code is the worst of all
codes. 1t was presented by the big
manufacturers and okayed by the
reactionary leaders of the former
shoe workers unions, Nolan, Hamil-
ton and Kelleher of the Protective,
Mahon of the National and the
Boot and Shoe officials.
Mr.. Priest was the lawyer for the
former Protective Union here in
Haverhill When they came back
from Washington they praised the
rotten code to the skies. Yet this
same Mr.. Priest is now running for
mayor of Haverhill.
Because the movement to reopen
the code is spreading fast and with
determination, the mayors Of var
ious shoe towns and cities in Mas
sachysettS are meeting together
trying to make it appear that they
are doing something for us. What
they are really trying to do is take
leadership Of the movement in or
der to behead it. This has been
our experience in all movements
for our own interests where the
leadership was wrested from our
hands by the politicians. In the
end we were betrayed.
We must spread the movement
for a. new and better code to all
shoe center, organized and unor-
ganized. We must remember why we
did not get a better code in the first
place. Firstly, we workers were not
involved in drafting the code. We
did not even know the briefs that
we're submitted, let alone make
suggestions as to what should be
included in the code for our pro-
lection.
Secondly, presenting the code
there we're only reactionary Off
Gals who had no intention in the
first place of fighting for a code
in our interests.
We remember, however, that the
New York shoe workers were well
prepared and New York was the
only shoe district that presented
and fought for code benefting
the shoe workers.
We must prepare our own code
based on our needs and interests
after a thorough discussion among
the rank and file. We must have
sincere and reliable rank and file
members present our code and
fight for it,
Above all, let us not fall under
the illusion that the code will solve
our problems. Build our union,
Spread it out, strengthen it with
militant leadership and GUST those
who are trying to do the same as
our former leaders have done. It
is only our own strengthe that we
can rely on to bring us results.
