To insure the continued publishing
OF the Daily Worker and our other
papers, it is necessary that new
printing press, technically adequate,
be installed for the papers of the
revolutionary movement. To meet
the needs of tha workers in the
swiftly developing events of this
period, it is urgent that the install

will cost $4,000, be Immediately
completed.
The Central Committee strongly
urges organizations and individuals
intellectually to support the eff

installation Of this press. Money is
needed at once. Red Press Certi-

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb, %. - A
wave of strikes is sweeping Racine
factories, with workers in four shops
out already. Chief among these are
the strike at the Nash auto plant,

form of fo,ded-arms strike, with
the men going into the shop, punch
ing the clock, and refusing to put out
any work, while remaining in the
factory.
There are strikes also at the Eisen-
drath Tannery and the Oster Com
pany.
The Nash strike is under the lead
ership of the A. F. of L. The Off
Gals are trying to call off the strike
in the same manner they called OF
the strike at Kenosha, Wis, without
the main demands being granted.
t. U. U. L. Aids Strikers
The Auto Workers Union, and the
Trade Union Unity League have is
sued a leaflet to the strikers urging
them to demand 80 per cent wage
increase, abolition of the group sys-
tenn; no victimization for strike ac-
tivity; no secret negotiations and
arbitration.
The Racine Nash strike is one OF
a series affecting the Nash Co.
during recent months. In Deem
Der, 1000 workers walked out in the
Kenosha plant. Last week over 1000
voted for strike at the Seaman Body
Milwaukee, Nash affiliate.
Mass picketing is encircling the
Nash plant, with unemployed work
ers showing their solidarity by aiding
on the picket line.

VIII Jim -CrOw
Negroes In The
SenateBuiIding
Copeland Orders Setting
Up of Separate Table
in Restaurant

WASHINGTON, Feb. o.
The character of white ruling
class friendship for the
Negro People, was again dem
onstrated yesterday when Sen
ator Royal s Copeland, Democrat of
New York, Numbered against the ex-
clusion of Negroes from the Senate
restaurant and forthwith substituted
m-crowism for exclusion.
Copeland is chairman of the Senate
Rules Committee which is RESPONSE
BILE for the restaurant, and as such
responsible for the forcible election
from the restaurant on Tuesday of
Miss Mabel Byrd and other Negro
witnesses at the Senate hearing on
the Costigan- Wagner "anti-lynching"
bill. Yesterday Copeland ordered the
setting up of special jim-crow table
for Negroes in the restaurant.
Surrounding himself with an aura
of heroism for this jim-crow "conces-
sion," he declared that Negroes, like
Write pc-~'0. had 10 g., and so long
as he is chairman of the committee
he will (this staunch friend" of the
Nero peopleD maintain the jim-crow
table.
Great care is being taken, however,
to keep the issue out of public floor
debate. This is in line with the House
action, concurred in by the million
aire Negro Congressman De Priest,
in soft-peddling the issue and tabling
a motion by De Priest, in which he
made the gesture of calling an in
vestigation of the refusal of the House
restaurant to serve Negroes.

Most All Champions Using
Steel and Putting Old
Records to Shame.
BY W. r. McCALLUM.

A THOUGH there are and
n will continue to be a lot
~ of old-timers using hick-
4 u ory shafts, the death
knell of the wooden shaft is
being sounded from coast to
coast by a flock of top-nOtch
golfers and it won't be long be-
fore the hickory shaft will be
more or less a museum piece.
This is the view of most of the
leading professionals of the land
while day after day the boys who
knock 'em up against the pin with
steel-shafted weapons bust record aft
er record. Right here in Washington
one of the finest golf towns in the
land, the trend definitely is away
from hickory as the steel shafts ap-
proximate more and more the fine
feel of wood and golfers realize that
shots may be hit straighter and fur
ther with steel shafts.
Personally we feel and always have
felt that a fine hickory shaft is a
thing of beauty and Joy. We have
played hickory shafts for well over
two decades and we note in the bags
of the old-timers that hickory still
prevails. But at the same time there
isn't any use being dogmatic, or clos
ing observing eyes to the fact that
better scores are being made with
steel: that most of the championships
are being won with steel-shafted
weapons, and that sooner or later
most Of the golfing world is going to
come around to steel
