~ COMMENTO
We Demand an Inquiry It's Been Acting Queer
on the Brooklyn Team All This Sprin0IJMst
By the u. S. Senate Like Other Teams NOU
By BILL CORUM

NEW YORK, April 12.-The
Brooklyn baseball club is in
Washington. D. C., thus pre-
senting what seems to lis an
unusual opportunity to the
Senate Of the United States.
We think the Senate should
Investigate the Robins now.
At this very moment the Sen.
ate Is busy investigating the
dinner of eight at which ap-
pears that somebody must have
split catsup on DR.. Wirt's neck
tie, thus causing the doctor to
see red. And II the Senate is
around to trying to check up on
all the loose talk that takes
place at dinner tables, we Brock
1yn fans are upset that the
Robins haven't been investigated
long ere this.
: AS a basis for this proposed
investigation, the gentlemen Of
the Senate are hereby advised
that there have been some
strange goings-on in the ranks
Of the Robins this Spring. It has
been days and dayS-if not, in
deed, weeks-since the Robins
tried to pull q double -Steal with
the bases full.
Like Other Teams
And that is not all. Far from
it. The report has reached my
ears from thoroughly reliable
sources that the Brooklyn team
is behaving Just like any other
team thus far this season. These
well authenticated reports even
90 so far as to hint that some
Of the players are keeping track
Of the runs and outs for them.
selves. For fifteen years at
EbbetS Field they have been
leaving that to the boy at the
score board. II that Is not

first step toward it.

before a game some seasons back
and overhearing one Robin
player inquire Of another:
"WhO are we playing today,
Babe"
To which Herman replied:
81 don't know, let's send up
in the grandstand and get q
scorecard."
Yes, my dear Senators, that
man stengel, who took over the
Brooklyn team this spring, is a
dangerous radical. He Is trying
to surround himself with a
brain trust over there in Brook
lyn. Indeed, your investigation
may disclose that the Robins
and the brain trust are now
one and the same thing.
And If you demand further
proof before calling for this in
vestigation, which seems to me
so necessary to the peace Of
mind and welfare Of our people
here in flatbuSh, permit me to
appraise you Of a conversation
that took place in the dressing
room of the Brooklyn players at
Orlando, Fla. last month.
Discuss Reds
Some Of the boys were sitting
there in their undershirts
sleeves, playing pinochile and
discussing the Reds-the Gin
cinnati Reds, that is, Senator
when this man Stengel struck
his head on the door.
"What are you guys dOin' In
here, stalin?" He barked then
he banged the door, angry like,
and went away.
Doesn't that make it look as
though "Stalin" was already
with the Brooklyn team, and
just waiting for q chance to
break into the lineup?
So, I repeat, that now is the
time to look into this matter,
while the robins are there on
the ground, and before it is too
late.

Westernan, in his speech. de-

that the Indians seldom receive full

condemned the policy of moving

Office relief while the regular relief

Music Unemployment Policy
Is to Help the Landlords Out

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE
policy of the Music leaders in the
Unemployed Leagues here in COL
laborating with and aiding the
landlords is sabotaging the struggle
of the jobless workers against evic-
tons.
The Central Evictions Committee
OF the Unemployed Leagues,
Muste-led organization, spends its
time in taking up complaints from
landlords against unemployed in
families who cannot pay rent. The
policy of the Musteites is that if
the old landlord will provide a
months rent for the jobless tenant,
the Central Evictions Committee of
the Unemployed Leagues will help
move him to another home.
AS a result of this policy a rail-
road worker who had been unem-
ployed for the past three years and
had lost his small home which he
had bought with hard learned saw
ings, was forced to move out witch
his wife and six children after the
Unemployed League leaders had
liked it up" with the landlord. The
Landlord paid months rent fo-
new home and with the aid of the
Musteites, got rid of the uneln-
ployed worker.
This no-struggle policy is con-
tanned in the fifth clause of the

NEW YORK.-Militant action OF
fifty workers of the Rein Box

wages under the leadership Of the
Ma -ess Section of the National

Union, local 2, yeste- day forced
the employer to ask for negotia-
tons.
The employer had called in the
officials of the A. F. of L. Uphol-
sterers' Union after the strike was
called to send in scabs. When the
workers repudiated the misleaders
and voted to remain out solid
under the militant leadership Of
the NF.WIU. the employer sub
mitted to negotiations.
Meanwhile the workers remain
out solid and are determined 70
stay out until they win.

plotted they were never organized

Leagues constitution and it reflects
the general viewpoint of the Music
leaders. Because of the dissatisfac-
ton of the members with the poll
cies, the chairman of the Central
Evictions Committee. Beisel, a
Musteite, and two others, had to
resign.
Because the Leagues follow a
policy of only helping members,
many jobless workers who are not

Gently to protest sheriff's farm
sale in Catasaqua. The League
leaders had called protest demon

Since the farmer had been in the

inculcated with the Musteite idea
of helping only league members,
were reluctant to aid in the action.

Frank Robins and Brier, militant
members of Local sci.
Robins and Brier we're beaten up

They had no hearing or trial,

Tins will be tried on trumped-up
charge Of assault.
Mrs. Tins, an expectant Negro
mother, was brutally beaten by
Policeman Henry Werner in the
Prospect Place Market. The police
man then arrested her.
The presence of workers in the
courtroom is doubly necessary be-
cause of the refusal of Magistrate

He declared that the presence Of
workers at that hearing constituted
intimidation of the court.
