Hotel Strikers to
Urge United Front
Workers Flay Rejection
of Unity Offer

NEW YORK, Feb. 6. Furious be-
ause the united front proposal Of the
Food Workers Industrial Union had
been rejected by the secretary Of their
organization, the rank and file Of the
Ama,gamated Food Workers Union
was determined to force a vote on the
issue at the mass meeting tonight
at their headquarters.
This information was given by a
Daily Worker reporter, who inter-
viewed strikers picketing the Park
Central Hotel, Seventh Ave. and 57th
st. and confirmed by members at the
Eighth Ave. Offices.
They said that Secretary B. G.
Fields sabotaging Of the united frcnt
proposal without placing the matter
before the membership would not go
unanswered" The Industrial Union
had offered to participate with Anal
gamatsd workers in demonstration
before the Park Central today and at
City Hall tomorrow, when the Anal
gamsted will present demands for
union recognition and niniro--m
wages Of $12 a week to Mayor La

To Sentence Powers
at Gen'l Sessions
Court Thursday
Urge Mass Pressure on
Court to Force
Release

NEW YORK.-On Thursday. Feb. 8
1t 10 am. George Powers, convicted
for unlawful assembly in the April 81
1881, demonstration at City Eall
comes up for sentence before Judge
Freschi, at General Sessions Court
Part 9, at Franklin and Center SITS.
The demonstration of the jobless
and C.W.A. workers before the City
Hall on Feb. 5, because of the mass
pressure brou7ht to bear upon him
forced acting-Mayor Bernard Deutsch
President of the Board Of Aldermen,
to promise to intervene on behslf Of
Powers, to prevent the court from
-ailroading Powers to prison.
Judge InstructS Jury
When it became obvious that the
Jury would have acquitted Powers on
the charge Of riot, Judge Freschi
mustered all his power and resources,
and in a so-caued charge to the jury
lasting over three and One-hah
hours so prejudiced the jury against
Powers that nothing but verdict Of
guilty could have been expected. The
jury returned a verdict Of guilty OF
unlawful assembly, and acquitted
Powers Of riot.
Every working-clsss organization
is urged to send kilograms of pro-
test to the court, and demonstrate
their unyielding determination that
this frame-up against Powers shall
not succeed. Wires should be adj
Clrc--ed to Judge Fceschi, General
SESSIONS Court, Precinct 8, Franklin
and Center SITS.

Leaders Maneuver
To End Anthracite
Strike at Meeting
Miner States Proposed
''Umnire'' Betrayed
Miners Before
speciaI % the paiIy Worker

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Feb. GA
Convention was called by the new
anthracite union today, for the pur-
pose Of sending the miners back to
work under the latest proposal Of the
National Labor Board. The condi-
tons Of the National Labor Board are,
to send the miners back to work and
turn all the grievances of the miners
to the Cancellation Board headed by
the notorious betrayer Of the miners
and an agent Of j. L. Lewis and the
operators, James German, head Of the
Anthracite Board of Cancellation.
A delegate spoke on the proposal Of
the National Labor Board and said
that German, the umpire, will not do
anything for the miners as he has
betrayed the miners in the past and
will not do any good in the future.
He pointed out that the miners de-
mandcd the resignation Of German
at a tri-district convention of the U.
NJ. W. of A., and that John L. Lewis
did his daandest to out-maHouver
the miners on his point and allow
German to remain on the job. The
above statement was put in the form
Of a direct question to NTaloney. To
this NIaloncy replied Don't you
think that German is HUMANE" Al
though Ma,oney has praised German
as being fair and impartial, today
when the rank and file miners con-
frontad him in this Convention EEalo-
ney had to beat around the bush. The
miners have no confidence in the
Arbitration Beard and German, and
N1aloney knows it.
Father Curan, who has posed as a
friend of the miners, told them that
they should accept the proposal Of the
Labor Board and go back to work
That it is time to stop this strike, that
everything will be OK, that he will
see the judges and ask them to relec se
the poor miners who are in Jail for
picIseti1lg, if the miners go back to
work.
Father Curran said that the seven
point proposal was drawn upon by
Father Haas of the National Labor
Board and therefore urged the miners
to go back to work and start fighting
Cor water rates in Wilkes-2arre.
The Convention opened with the
singing Of America" and then the
delegates started protesting against
the presence Of the police.
Maloney tried to keep order and
have the police remain, but the
miners finally forced Maloney to ask
the police to leave.
The Convention is still in session at
the time this story is wired to the
Daily Worker.

If such were the case one could follow
the star performers right UP to the
finish mark and anticipate record
breaking performance. Rather than
wait for over minute till the ampli-
f1ers announce the time, the cheering
could start earlier and louder, and
the onlooker would feel he accom-
plished something. On the other
hand watching the time-piece might
help to miss the event.
There was quite bit Of cheering
for Ralph Metcalfe, brawny Negro
flash Of Marquette when he lined up
for one Of his SpecialtieS, the so yard
dash. There was even more cheering
for Ben johnson, Negro youth Of
N. Y. U. when the latter nosed out

The last event Of the evening
brought CT t''e re vaulters, but by
is time most of the people thought
it YVES tins they were in bed. Exsctly
at 1920 Keith Brown, Yale product,
plunged the bamboo into the groove
and lofted himself over the crosSbar
to clear IA feet. Thompson, another
Yale man, had scaled that height
long ago so there was really nothing
more left to do but attempt record
of 142 before no one remained to
record the feat. Twenty minutes
later the house lights went on and
everybody got up and stretched. What
these people needed really was
little more exercise.
It was great success financially
for Wanamaker's athletic associa-
ton. The Miilrose games take
place just once year and Wanna
maker does business exactly all
year round. It's cinch depart
ment stores don't include athletics
In their currloula for love of
humanity. Brurdage has the right
idee when he says, interest in
athletics by business and industrial
institutions in the last generation
has grown by leaps and bounds,
and although retarded somewhat
by the economic crisis, it is again
progressing. With the increase in
leisure time there has been no
period in our history when 1t has
been more necessary to provide
sports ard games as medium of
building morale and physical fit
ness"

Avery Brundage appeared to
be the slowest. Adorned in a
tux with some starched under
pinning-the chief Of the Amateur
Athletic Union remained stationary
for the greater part Of the evening at
point which might be described by
hockey enthusiasts as the blue line.
He appeared casually interested,
though this impression might have
been created by the fact that he re-
NAMED on the floor till the last man
was out.
After this event, er, rather the biz
event of the evening was announced
as ready to take place. It was the
Wanamaller Mile, distance varying
no whit from any other event Of $3.50
feet. This particular run seems to
have annoyed a Times sports scribe
no end because of the delay attending
/ it's start. The feet remains that it
could have been delayed a couple of
weeks judging by the excitement Of
the capacity crowd and judging by
the race itself.
Heralded as the prize attraction OF
a GRAINED card, the mile turned out
to be little less than flop with Gene
VenE!ie en- the major end Of It. 1t
was no more thrilling certainly than
the flock of dsrbiss that paraded on
the floor all evening.
Venzke looked handsomer than did
CUNNINGHAM, the winner, but while
the fair Sex may have been content
with Just that it didn't carry further.
Cunningham pounded the boards a
trifie more frequently than Venzke
and frittered the tape fully is yards
ahead Of the latter. There were three
others in the race but very few
seemed to be aware of it or in the
least appreciative Of their efforts.
Presently a sterling silver trophy
wos hauled off table bedecked with
black plush, I take it, and placed in
the hands of Cunningham the victor
who engineered pose long enough to
smile for pictures and the sterling
was forever Cunningham's.
In the meantime George Spite,

jumping it out with walter Marty
