Stagg Still Has Punch.


a MOS ALONZO STAGG appar-
~ emily still has some coaching
knowledge and still is young
enough to apply it on the field Of play
by imparting it to others. At least, his
little College Of Pacific team went over
to Los Angeles Saturday and held
Howard Jones Southern California
outfit to a 6-to-0 score. That really
was something of an achievement for
Stagg.
1t was thought that Stanford would
have trouble with Santa Clara and 1t
did. The best it could get out Of the
game was tie, 7 to 7.
Army and Navy came through in
their opening games, each scoring
three touchdowns. Navy, though, had
one scored against it. The Soldiers
picked on Washburn College while
Navy caused William and Mary to bite
the dust. Berries played such mag
nificent game for Navy that it was
claimed he should rank this season
with the best all-time Navy backs.
If he measures up to the kind OF
back his coach was he will not be
doing so poorly by any means. Navy
has had few more consistently good
backs than Tom Hamilton was.
This apparently is to be Bob Ney-
lands last season as coach at the Uni
verSity Of Tennessee. Report has 1t
that he has been ordered to Panama
for duty with the Army Corps of En-
gineers stationed there. Neyland in
the eight years he has been at Ten
nessee has been one of the most Sue
cessful coaches in the whole country.
Unquestionably Neyland not only
knows foot ball, but also knows how to
teach 1t.

Fifty Famous
F'rOntiersmen
His a National Monument"
By
ELMO o WATSON

1T TOWERS nearly a thousand
4 feet above the surrounding coun'
try, a silent sentinel over the beau.
tiful valley of the North Platte
river. 1t is that huge mass of
sandstone which bears the name OF
SCOTS Bluff and perpetuates the
name of Hiram Scott.
As a member of General Ashley's
famous fu~r-trading expedition up
the Missouri in 1923, Scott had first
seen this mountain, which las to
become his monument. Then he be-
came a free trapper and later a
partner with Narcisse LeClerq In
a company of trappers along the
Platte.
In 1923 they started for st. Louis
to market their .furs. A hundred
miles up the river from the noun
tain Scott was taken Ill and left
behind with two trappers, Roi and
Bissonette, who we're to bring him
down the river by bull-boat. But
soon after they launched the clumsy
craft, 1t upset and all their provi-
sions and ammunition were lost.
They managed to reach Laramie
fork, 60 miles up the river from
the mountain where LeClerq and
the others were to await their com.
ing.
They were half-starved and, leav.
Ing Scott in camp, the other two
set out In search of food. Then
they came cross LeClerq's trail
and deliberately decided to follow
1t and leave Scott to his fate. When
they overlook LeClerq they told him
that Scott had died, so he pushed on.
Back at his camp near Laramie
fork the realization soon came to
Scott that his friends had desert
ed him. So he set out to follow
them.
A year later Bissonette and old
Joe h0DldeauX, seeking water from
the spring that gushes from the
southern slope of SCOTS Bluff, found
a skeleton not far away. From
the buttons on the fragments of
clothing still clinging to the bones
and from other trinkets Bissonette
recognized the skeleton as that OF
Hiram Scott. Then the story of the
betrayal of the trapper by his two
comrades came out. Tradition Is
that Bissonette and Robideaux
buried the remains of Hiram Scott
there and from that day the sand
stone mountain which had been the
goal OF his weary journey was
known as SCOTS Bluff. A few years
ago a tract of 1900 acres surround
Ing 1t was set aside as a public
reserve and became a national
monument"

When North Carolina tried to as

From that time on he was never

against the Negro toilers, Governor
White endorsed such actions. The
life and death problems Of the
workers and poor farmers are for
ever discussed and promises made,
but the Democratic administration
has not and will not move finger
to aid these masses, although the
New Deal has brought to Ohio
corporations several tens of millions
of dollars in profit during the last
year.
The issues before the toiling peo-
pie of Ohio should be seen clearly
as class issues. All attempts to
ignore this only result in support
of capitalist candidate, regardless
of his promises. The issue of class
against class which confronts every
worker when he demands more
wages or goes on strike, which con-
fronts every Negro worker who de-
mands equal rights for Negroes,
which confrontS every veteran who
really fights for his back pay
(bonus), etc., is also present in the
election campaign. There can be
no con1promise-the issues of class
against class stand out clearly in
this election campaign.
The Communist Party calls upon
the workers, farmers and irnpov-
eriShed middle classes to uni,e their
forces to struggle uncompronlis-
ingly against every reduction Of
their living standards, against every
backward step now being forced
upon them by the capitalist crisis,
against the growing menace of fas-
cism and war.
Only the mass struggle for the
demands of the workers contained
In the platform of the Communist
Party is an effective method Of
gaining concessions from the cap-
italist class here and now.
There is no other practical strug-
gle for immediate demands except
the class struggle led by the Com
munist Party.
Tens of thousands of votes in
Ohio for our communist state ticket,
headed by such everyday fighters
and leaders as I. o. Ford and JAMIE
Langston, will win many conces-
sions for the workers from the
capitalist class, who are filled with
deep fear when the workers turn
toward Communism.
Tens of thousands of votes for
the Communist platform will be the
first long step on the road of the
revolutionary way out of the crisis.
Forward to the revolutionary cleo
ton struggle of the working class
for its immediate needs and it's ulti-
mate goal.
Organize a mighty mass move
ment of the workers and farmers,
Negro and white, men, women and
youth, to vote Communist on Nov.

tries, the conference will be held
in Pittsburgh, an industrial center
instead of in San Francisco as pre-
viously announced.
Rank and file demands at the
A. F. of L. Convention included en-
dorsement Of the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill, exemption
of dues stamps for the unemployed,
trade union democracy, elimination
of gangsterism and racketeering,
abolition of company unions and
for the right to join unions of the
workers own choice, for industrial
unionism, for the protection of the
rights of federal locals, for with
drawal of A. F. of L. officials from
the N. r. A, for increased wages
and shorter hours.
A campaign to secure these de-
mands, establishment of national
industrial rank and file centers, and
activities of local A. F. of L. COM
mittees are important questions to
be discussed at the Third Annual
Rank and File Conference of the
A. F. of L. The conference will
also consider the possibility of a
24-hour general strike to demand
the adoption of the Workers Un-
employment Insurance Bill by
Congress. The "a. F. of L. Rank
and File Federationist" will also be
considered and a new National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the A. F. of
L. Trade Union Committee will be
elected.
All local and federal A. F. of l..
unions and central bodies, and all
bodies supporting the A. F. of L.
Trade Union Committee are urged
to elect delegates to this conference

conference OF the A. +. OF L. to be
held in Pittsburgh on Oct. 27 and
2s at National Slovak Hall, 516-51S
Court Place.
"The greatest guarantee against
such surrenders as occurred in the
textile strike, in the San Francisco
general strike and scores of other
strikes, and the greatest assurance
that a decent standard of living
will be won for labor rests on the
organization of strong determined
rank and file movement and a
fight for a militant program" the
call declares.
"Since the Second A. F. of L..
Conference, the membership of the
A. F. of L. have played major
part in the great strike struggles
of the American workers to improve
their working conditions. The chief
obstacle to winning a victory in
these great battles has been the
tactics and policies pursued by the
leading officials Of the A. F. of L."
An account of the fight for a
militant program on the floor of
the A. F. of L. convention will be
given at the conference by dele
gates who carried on the fight for
rank and file demands in San
Francisco. Reports will also be
given by delegates who attended
the West Coast Rank and File Con-
ference which was held simultane-
ously with the 54th Annual Con-
vention of the A. F. of L. in San
Francisco.

that they did not break the strike.
The men who walked out walked
back with their heads erect, proud
and dignif1ed, with solid ranks,
and there is not union in San
Francisco that has not added to
its membership since that little
adventure few months age"
Such official admission, confirm
ing the correctness of the Commu-
mist estimate of the achievements
of the West Coast and of the Bay
Counties working class, will in no
way interfere with the organiza-
ton of the much publieized drive
of Green's oficialdom to eliminate
Communists from the labor move
ment.
This means that such admissions
will not modify the program for
the anti-Red drive-the policy de-
manded by the representatives of
monopoly capital who really run
the official end of this convention.
But the two great strikes, and
the fact that such admissions con-
frming the correctness of the Com
munist estimate of these struggles
have had to be made, will make it
considerably more difficult for of
f1cialdom to get the results they
and their bosses in the big corpora
tions and in the Roosevelt Admin
istration expect from the anti-Red
drive slated as central feature
of the 54th annual convention of

NEW YORK.-Section IL of the

tinues on it's dynamic course in
raising its quota of $500 in the
Daily Worker drive for 100000.
The most thinly populated and
widely scattered section in the dis
trict (sharing this difficulty with
Section 49, and having with Sec
ton 13) the smallest membership
in the district, it has already Sc
cured $361-72.2 per cent--of its
quota.
The nearest to it remains Section
6, in Brooklyn. This section has
acquired 61.6 per cent-$308.20-of
its $500 total.
The gain for all the sections has
been $88788-a rise from 1875 to
26.7 per cent. Section 10 continues
to be the only one which has not
contributed anything. The sections
in the district with the largest
quotas remain below the 20 per
cent mark. With quotas Of $500,
Sections 1 and 2 have not even
raised $500 each.
1t is important to note that Sec

Der Of actual readers Of the Daily
Worker is much larger, because the
paper circulates among many shop
mates, friends and relatives of
those who buy the paper.
Among these tens of thousands
of readers there are many thou
sands who not only buy and read
the paper regularly, agree with the
policies of the paper, but are also
in full agreement with the program
and tactics of the Communist Party
whose central organ the Daily
Worker is. Among these readers
are thousands of workers who in
the trade unions, in the unemployed
organizations, in the fraternal Or
carnations follow the lead of the
Communist Party.
1t is to these thousands of our
regular readers that we wish to ad-
dress ourselves primarily today with
the question Why are you not in
tie ranks of the Communist Party?
If you agree with the program
and tactics of the Communist Party,
if you follow the lead of the Com
munist Party-then surely it is not
political differences, or even unclar-
ity on some questions that keeps
you from joining the Party. No
doubt many of our readers still need
Qualification on such questions. We
shall strive in the course of the
next few weeks to deal with these
ques ions. But to you readers who
are fully in agreement with the
Party policies and tactics we wish
to address some other questions.
We Ask You Now to Join
Perhaps many of you will answer
the question Why don't you join
the Communist Party?" with the
very simple answer that we hear so
often from workers because was
never asked to join" This of
course is an indictment of some of
our Party members who do not give
sufficient attention to this major
task of recruiting into the Party.
And if this is the case with you,
then we are asking you now to join
the Communist Party. We need you
in our Party. With more members
we can do so much more for that
which you believe in, for that which
you are fighting for If you have
no direct contact with any Party
members or with any Party organ
ization you can fill out the appli-
cation in this issue and mail it in.
We assure you that we will take
steps Immediately to bring you into
our ranks.
Another Answer
Another typical answer we often
hear is, Il am a member of the
Party, I am a Communist, in fact,
I have been a Communist for many
years, although I do not carry a
red card" We are certainly glad
that many workers consider them
selves Communists even though
they are not Party members. No
doubt there are hundreds of thou
sands of workers who agree with
our program and follow the lead
of the Party, even though they are
not members of the Party. Tens of
thousands of workers in many
