Especial to the Daily Worker
SEATTLE, Wash, May 16.
While the shipowners were
demanding that troops be
called out against the strik-
ing longshoremen, two thou
sand workers met yesterday
in a demonstration called in
support of the strike by the Unem-
ployed Citizens League. Hundreds
paraded the waterfront. An official
speaker for the striking longshore-
men hailed the support given the
strike by the unemployed and
asked that it be continued.
The press is attempting to throw
wet blanket on the strike by carry
ing stories that Alaska is in need
of food and proposing that ships be
moved in order to feed the Alas
kans.
Attempts of the Governor to arbi-
trate the strike failed, as seamen
walked out on strike on all ships OF
the Pacific Steamship Co. under the
leadership of the Marine Workers
Industrial Union. The shipowners
we're forced to tie up their ships
and put them out of commission.
Transfers have refused to handle
cargo, despite the fact that Dave
Beck, leader of the Transfers
Union, told the men to continue
taking loads from the docks.
Rank and file members of the
International Seamen's Union
forced Pete Gill and King, leaders Of
the union, to agree to the calling
Of strike on the ships in sympathy
with the dock workers.
These gentlemen were trying to
force the seamen to support the
code of the I. S. u, which would
abolish the right to strike.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union is growing by leaps and
bounds here. The local branch of
the union has sent a rush call to
the national headquarters in New
York for membership books to take
care of the large number Of marine
workers who are applying for mem
bership.

Blocked Punt Gets Tie.

TINE Indians bobbed up in the Rose
Bowl again on New Year day
of 1927, this time against Ala
bama. Once more Pop" Warner had
a great team with Hoffman. Hyland,
Walker, Hill and Wilton among the
outstanding stars. Hyland took the
opening kickoff and ferried it back
to his 35-yard line. On the first play
Hylard broke down the field and was
running alone: perfect target for. a
forward pass. Hoffman threw the
pass, but the ball slipped in his hands
and Hyland was obliged to turn and
run back to 'Bama's 27-yard line to
catch the throw; which ruined a sure
touchdown. Stanford scored first, but
late in the fourth period Alabama
blocked one of Wilton's punts near the
Cardinal goal line and johnson scored.
There was just time enough for three
plays, so the game ended in a tie.
The Cardinals came back the fol-
lowing year to battle Pittsburgh and
managed to win that one. Z to 6. A
tumble enabled Pitt to snare the ball
and score a touchdown to gain the
lead, but the Indians staged a great
charge to tie the count. Stanford
drove down near the Panther goal
and then Wilton threw a fiat pass,
which the receiver dropped. In the
scramble for the ball, Wilton was sue
cesstul and then ran the few neces-
sary yards for a touchdown. Pitts
burgh made some claim that it was
an incomplete pass, but the referee
ruled the Stanford receiver had been
in possession of the ball.

But with these two important tour

n YEW YORK, December 25.-

Y good in the land of the

start whirring sometimes inside of
heads, like the springs in a Christmas
toy, for no good reason at all.
But Christmas comes, and the good
is Jumped with the bad, and every one
is content, for 1t could be worse. 1t
has been worse many, many times.
For instance:
Back in about 1910, now, there was
a Christmas day I'll never forget"
said James j. Johnston, the fight pro-
moter, as he hitched his heels on his
desk in Madison Square Garden.
From the walls around him peer down
the faces of fighting men back to Jim
Corbett's day. The chairs are soft,
the desk Is mahogany. Jimmy is sleek,
well fed. Spats clothe his ankles.
Outlook Is Gloomy.
"THE panic was on for fair" he
continued. mo dough. A
house full of kids. Christmas
day. Showing like heck. Cold"
He stopped soberly as the contrast
with this day took full possession of
him. He shook his head.
"I've got one fighter, AL Reich, the
big guy that was Jafsie's bodyguard in
the Lindbergh case. Remember?
He's fighting this afternoon in Tren-
ton, N. j., against old Porky Flynn,
and we're to get $400, q life saver.

We've got just enough dough to get

packed. This Flynn is tough. but he's
pretty well washed up by now. We
figure to take him easy.
I'm the first round Flynn Is doing
the best he can, but he's not SO hot
and he knows it. Reich can hit plenty
and he gets one good right-hand shot
at Old Porky, but it misses. Porky
slips, getting out of the way, goes
down to one knee, decides that while
he's there he might as well rest a
while. So he takes a nine-count. For
no good reason he winkS at me in the
corner. The referee sees him.

ME OlSlIlCI ClldlIlplOllSlllp, WHICH,
Il will be played next year without
a defending champion, probably
will go to the Congressional Country
Club. This year it was played at Co
lumbia, while in 1888 it was held at
Indian Spring and in 1882 at Chevy
Chase. Congressional made a tenta-
tive bid for the tourney at the annual
meeting of the District Association
last March, and that bid will be re-
newed at the meeting next Spring.
So, with the usual grist of invitation
tournaments to be played during the
Spring of 1885, it looks as if Washing
ton will not be without an important
affair or two, even though the mid
Atlantic title tournaments go else
where, as now appears probable. In
addition, the Maryland State Golf As
sociation amateur title tilt is sched-
uled to come back to Washington next
year, with Roger Peacock more than
willing to win the crown again. He
has won it for two straight years.
On the professional side the match
play championship of the Middle At
lantic P. G. A. will come back to the
Capital next year and Al Houghton
may at last achieve win in the only
big title tourney in this territory which
has escaped him. This event lasts for
