COMMENTS ON SPORTS By William
- w y Fuchs

WE commented last week upon the
w penetrating report of the New
York Committee on the Use of
Leisure Time. The committee re-
ported that in New York, the
greatest city in the greatest repub-
lie on earth, athletic facilities
were horribly low. 1t pointed out,
for instance, that though there
should be at least one baseball
field for every 5000 of the playing
population, there was only one for
every 10000 Tennis, soccer and
events for track and field we're the
chief suffererers. Hundreds of ap-
plicants are being turned away
from participation in these games.
1t is situation prevalent in most
of the cities on the American plain.
We know what appropriations are
among the first to be cut when an
economic crisis hits our capitalist
rulers. They are appropriations for
schools and athletic fields, never

Splits Ranks
OF Auto Men
Greer Drives Towards
Company Union, Hits
All Militants

DETROIT, Mich, August 5-The
Hudson Motor Car local of the A. F.
of L. United Automobile Workers,
the largest local in Detroit, formally
withdrew from the American FEEDER
alton of Labor yesterday. The deci-
sion to withdraw and set up an in
dependent organization was made by
vote on July IS.
The split is move on the part
of the leaders engineering it not to-
ward militant action, but toward
company unionism, headed by two
A. F. of L. leaders, Arthur
Greer, president of the local, and
Richard Byrd, so-called labor repre-
sentative on the Automobile Labor
Board. They are trying to spread
this new organization to other fac
tories.
Greer, in announcing the split,
showed that the leadership of the
new organization is not militant
when he said, Eve want to do the
fair thing by the management, and
the management to do the fair thing
by us and that could not be, we felt,
if the management felt it was doing
business with persons who had no
connection with the business"
In the constitution of the new or
ganization there is a clause that no
Communist or anyone connected
with Communists could belong to
the organization.
Greer is following the same poll
cies as the A F. of L. leaders, OF a
war on the militants. Greer during
the war was U. S. secret service
man. He was chairman of the Elec-
ton Committee of the company
union, the Hudson Industrial Asso-
citation in September, 1888.
The Auto Workers News, of Au-
gust 4, organ of the Auto Workers
Union declares:
What the workers in the auto
mobile industry need is not splits,
but unity, unity of rank and file in
the A. F. of L. locals, the Mechanics
Educational Society and the Auto
Workers Union, against the mislead-
ers, the Greers, Collins and Smiths,
to build one powerful industrial
union that will strike a decisive
blow against company unionism and
the unbearable conditions in the
shops"

the auspices of the Transport
Workers Union militant indepen-
dent organization.
The repair shop workers of the
148th Street shop, among whom the
Transport Workers Union shop
groups had been calling for action
during the past few weeks, forced
their company unicn delegates to
call a local meeting at the union"
hall, at $50 Anderson Ave, for Fri
day night. The principal issue of
the meeting was the question of
forcing the IRT.'s tools, the union
delegates" to repudiate the wage
cutting pension scheme-a scheme
which would force the men to pay
about 4 per cent of their wages into
a fund for pensions to be paid after
the men reached the age of IS and
after Is years of service. This fol-
lowed on the heels of the 10 per
cent wage-cut in 1882.
Urged All Repair Men Be Present
The Transport Workers Union
issued a call before the meeting to
all repair shop men on the I.R.T.
to be present at the meeting to de-
mand the right to be heard to-
gether with the 14Sth ST. shop men.
The workers gathered around the
hall before the meeting time, but
were refused admittance by the
148th st. company union dele
gates" Loud protests and condem-
nation of the IR.T. and Brother
hood delegates" were shouted out
by the mass of workers. Police cars
were called and the workers were
forced to disperse.
Representative of the Transport
Workers Union thereupon invited
the workers to an open air meeting
near the park a block away. The
call was taken up by the workers
and they surged en- masse to the
designated place. Within Is minutes
2,1O0 IR.T. repair men crowded
around the speakers platform
Austin Hogan of the union, opened
the meeting amid a burst of en-
thusiasm by the workers. John
Santo, secretary of the Transport
Workers Union, and Green, Berg,
Case, Forge and Baker, organizers,
denounced the vicious policies of
the I.R.T. and company union, out
lining the policies of the Transport
Workers Union, and proposing that
all I.RT. workers join. The assem-
bled workers kept shouting their
approval continuously throughout
the speeches
Walk Out On Company Union
Finally more than 500 of the 148th
Street shop men came out of the
company union meeting and joined
the assembled workers of the Lii
vonia, Corona, 98th ST., 242nd ST.,
Broadway, Jerome, 180th St, and
other shops. They announced that
they had unanimously demanded
that their delegates resign at the
hall, and that immediately the ter
stricken delegates, at the behest
of Coughlin, vice-president of the
Brotherhood, called the meeting

cond@nning the fascist attacks
upon workers organizations in San
Francisco and Minneapolis" and de-
handing the release of all persons
Imprisoned or held for deportation
because of their political belief or
affiliations.
Vote Protest Resolution
The single resolution read in part:
This demonstration of over
fifty thousand workers, students,
youth and citizens of New York
City, gathered under the auspices of
the American League Against War
and Fascism on the goth anniver-
sary of the last world war, protests
against the vast expenditure by the
government of public funds for war
purposes.
I'VE demand that all war appro-
priations amounting to one billion
five hundred million dollars for
1934-35 in the U. S. Al be used for
unemployment relief, to give secur-
ity to the unemployed masses of
America, to build additional schools
and decent houses for the workers,
instead of being used for mass muir
der. Not gun, not cent, not a
man for war-all funds for the
benefit of the unemployed and
starving workers and farmers at
home.
Call for United Action
I'VE, the massed workers, students
and professionals of New York City
affirm our belief in international
solidarity and united aggressive ac-
ton as the way of preventing the
outbreak of another mass butchery
This great outpouring of workers
citizens of New York City, warns
against the development of fascist
methods in the U. S. A. We en-
phatically. protest against the use
of Federal and State forces against
strikers and all workers exercising
their rights. These fascist develop
ments prepare the way for war. Fas-
cism breeds and incites war. Fascism
means militarism. 1t rouses the
lowest jingoist war spirit. 1t follows
policy of criminaIly mad war ad-
ventures. This demonstration hereby
pledges itself to fight to the ut
most against developing fascism in
the U. S. A. as we are fighting fas-

This is one of the greatest vic

Party and the Unemployment
Councils are planning to make this
one of the largest, one of the most
militant demonstrations ever held

could be heard for blocks, and the
workers trooped out. This announce
ment was greeted by wild cheers.
The Transport Workers Union
speakers proposed the following
resolutions:
II The immediate return of the

were obtained by intimidation and
fraud by the company.

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor

The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a more natural movement with
out any discomfort at the time, or
after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
varied to suit the needs Of the in
dividual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not i%rritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
SIENNA is a natural laxative. 1t does
not drain the system like the cathar-
tics that leave you SO thirsty. DR..
Caldwell's Syrup pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on SIENNA for its
laxative action. 1t gently helps the
average persons constipated bowels
until nature restores their regularity.
You can always get DIR. CaldwelI's
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready
for use.

"Extra Period" Forest
Fires Show Decrease

Despite an increase In the number
of forest fires in the national for.
ests over 1881, the last year of com
parable hazard, the United States
forest service has reduced the num-
Der of "extra-period" fires this sea
son by 20 per cent. An extra-period
fire is a forest blaze that is not ex-
tlnguished or controlled by the begin
ming of the second day.
Ii Is the rule of the forest service
10 make every attempt to put GU or
surround a fire on the day of dis
covery and the night that follows.
Speed of attack Is the Key TO suc-
cess. Facilities for speed have en-
abled the forest service to cut the
loss in acreage burned by about 10
per cent and to reduce the expense
for fire fighting about 40 per cent,
as compared with the dry season of
1881, despite an increased number of
fires and greater hazards this year.
In most of the western regions this
year fire weather conditions were the
worst on record. The middle of Sep
TENDER, however, saw the fire hazard
greatly reduced by scattered rains.
The number of extra-period fires
this year to September 10 was 2S4
compared to 355 in 1881. Area
burned over so far this year totals
500,3S3 acres. against SCI $50 In 1881,
and an average of 26T, 1871 for the
