III a murderous forehand driving

Miss Stammers is possessed of un-
limited stamina. She revels in close
match and the harder her opponent
smacks the ball she sends 1t back al
ways a little harder-a feature Of her
game that has made her an out
standing favorite with the galleries.
She has no particular designs on
the American championship, although
she won't pass up an opportunity to
cop it. Her opponent in the quarter
finals today was Carolin Babcock, the
sun-tanned star from Los Angeles.
MY first ambition is to win the
English woman's title at Wimbledon"
Miss Stammers said today. After
that I'd like to win your champion

first came up to US q raw
youngster from the Piedmont
League he was perhaps the poorest
catching prospect we had had In
many a year. And despite frequent
shipments to minor circuits where he
could get a lot of work he failed to
gain polish behind the bat. He had
the power at bat," Grifith admitted.
But as a receiver he didn't measure
up to big league standard"
This time. though, Bolton has sur
prised us greatly. OF course. he still
has a little farther to 60 before he
may be regarded a first-class worker
behind the bat. But he has improved
to an extent that makes me believe
the work he'll get with us the re-
mainder Of the season and at training
camp next Spring will get him Up to
the mark.
And when he reaches that mark,
I've an idea he'll be In there catching

Meet; Demand Keeping

BALTIMORE, April 10. - Four
ships crews and longshoremen on
two docks struck for two hours to-
day in support of the fight of the
unemployed seamen to maintain the
control of the distribution of relief.
Over a thousand workers Joined
the seamen in a demonstration at
noon in front of the Seamen's pro-
ject
Federal relief representatives.
Messers Liddle and Kelly, came
down to the waterfront today with
their complete office staff to take
the administration of relief away
from the seamen, but were met by
large body of aroused seamen who
promptly chased them away from
the region of the docks.
The relief officials have sent noti-
ceS to the elected committee of sea-
men and the small business men in
the neighborhood telling them that
the relief tickets will not be honored
after midnight.
A delegation of so unemployed
seamen prepared to march to Wash
ington to protest to President
Roosevelt against the cutting off
Of the seamen's relief.
I'VE are going to walk every inch
of the way" said a seaman who was
elected to the delegation.
Worried about the seamen gaining
control of the relief in Baltimore,
Supervisor of Relief Plunkett, said,
THE system of relief that the sea-
men have is an historical precedent. -
The seamen have issued calls to
all workers to support their fight by
sending letters of protest to Roose-
welt, Plunkett, and Hopkins in
Washington.
Leaders of the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union, Unemployment
Council and the Communist Party
speaking on the waterfront pledged
support and leadership to the fight
of the seamen.

The Roosevelt Administration has

Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill III. r. 1899 gathers
support that threatens to force

ously confer on the vague POSSIBLE

be enacted only to head off enact

The labor disputes bill announce

probability that this bill will be
the implement chosen to further

United States. Just as the N. 1. r

this measure was presented by

Police and Socialist
Heads Back Down
on Union So. Ban
Continued from Page u

May Day and the mortal fear OF the
Socialist leaders of any expression
of united action between their fol-
lowers and the revolutionary work,
/ ers resulted in the Socialist leaders
giving up Union Square on May
Day.
LaGuardia and his police had
declared the revolutionary workers
could not have the Square until
after $50 and on" on May Day.
The workers protested and sent a
delegation with their demands to
Mayor LaGuardia. The Mayor then
passed the buck to a committee Of
arbitration" composed of Arthur
Arthur Garfield Hays, John
Haynes Holmes and Roger Baldwin.
The job of this committee was to
provide formula by which the So
cialist leaders could successfully
separate the Socialist workers from
the workers in the United Front.
The committee proposed the hours
of y to 2:30 for the Socialist Party,
and 2:30 on for the United Front
May Day demonstration.
This proposal was rejected by the
| Socialist leaders at a conference
with the chief of police Monday,
attended by members of the Board
of Trade, the Broadway Assoc1a-
/ ton, the 5th Avenue Association,
/ the 7th Avenue Association and
other business mems groups, rallied
by the Socialist leaders to their
support.
The Socialist leadership insisted
in the person Of Julius Gerber, that
the Square be placed at their dis
posal for the entire day of May
First.
Gerber Appeals to Police Friends
Gerber appealed to the police as
Social Democrat" "As a Socia,
Democrat" he declared, who has
always co-operated intellectually
with the police department, and who
is perfectly satisfied with the splen-
did cooperation of the police de-
partment." He continually reiter-
ated his undying admiration for the
police, and complained against the
terrible Communists"
Gerber later proposed to the po-
lice that the morning hours be as
signed to the United Front dem
onstration, with the Socialists using
the Square in the afternoon. Ger
Der hurriedly withdrew this pro-
poSal when John Haynes Holmes
asked:
"Tf 100000 Communists will
mobilize at Union Square, and
hear that the Socialists are
marching in, do you think any
body would be able to get them
out?"
It was at this point that Gerber
intimated that the Socialist Party
would hold its May Day meeting in
Madison Square instead of Union
Square.
The United Front May Day Ar
rangements Committee last night
called upon the Socialist and A. F.
of L. workers to defeat the criminal
splitting tactics of their leaders and
to come to Union Square on May
Day in one united front demonstra-
ton for the immediate demands of
the working class and in joint, mill
tant struggle against hunger, war
and fascisnl.

the Soviet country able to over
come the most difficult task of
socialist reconstruction.
During the period of my remain
ing outside the Party. the Trotsky-
ist faction to which I belonged has
rolled ever further down the anti

geois deviation within the Commun-

adaptability to opportunism trans

cial democracy, and finally found
itself practically in the camp of

Appeal to All Trotzkyists

Trotzkyist opinions to follow my
example. A careful example of the
radical change which has taken
place in the internal and external
situation is sufficient to convince
every person who considers himself

a step. To recognize this honestly
is not shameful, but the strict duty
of every bolshevist.
Many know that an old, per-

Trotzky. Now my path and Trotz-

the present moment, when the
polarization of all social classes
and forces is occurring, when the
world is divided ever more clearly
