Fascism. Wherever workers strike out
under v~igorousl leadership to obtain
simple justice, whether it be union re-
cognition, better wages or working
conditions, or support for striking fell
low-workers, the same Fascist lineup
can be expected, The answer to the
Fascist threat is the solidarity Of labor.
The alternate is the industrial slavery
of company unions, of meek submission
to the labor-hating bosses of the San
Francisco Industrial Assn, the Dollar
Steamship Line, the Waterfront En-
ployers Assn. and the rest Of the anti
labor crowd.
A gag has been slipped oyer the Ad-
mi~nistration's labor lieutenants. Say
nothing, is the order. Strikes are
splashed over the front pages of the
newspapers, police beat and gas and
shoot and kill as never before. But
Washington is silent.

The private NRA-Harriman dicker
was made without informing the hosie-
ry workers union. When an officer Of
the hosiery workers federation sought
information from Clancy, he was told
to stop Quitting in. Glancy's settle
ment was accomplished by trickery,
through using the signatures of union
representatives on a provisional settle
ment arranged several weeks ago but
which had later fallen through.
The Hartman firm obtained much
publicity several weeks ago by Clos

tually, according to John w. Edelman,
union representative, the plant was not
closed down but continued to operate
every department except its knitting
division. That was closed because of
the tremendous stocks which had ac-
cumulated in the mems hosiery indus
try, damming up the market.

The Washington Scene
BY Len De Caux

WA-SHINGTON-(FP)-Th tech
nique of labor repression in 1884 is
much the same as it was in 1919. The
respectable San Francisco hoodlums
and hooligans who raided workers
halls, beat up scores of strike leaders,
and smashed printing presses during
and after the recent general strike, used
methods identical with those in Seattle
during the general strike in 1919.
Grandstanding Mayor Rossi of San
Francisco perhaps lacked certain Of
the theatrical accomplishments of
Seattle's notorious Ole Hanson, the
glib real estate promoter who became
mayor. Although the general strike
was so peaceful that not a single ar
rest was made during the entire strike,
Ole Hanson shrieked for martial law
and for calling in the soldiers from the
nearby war e%ncampment at Camp Lee
wis. Later Ole showed his shrewd
business judgment by stumping the
nation as the man who Saved Seattle
from the Reds"
In both the San Francisco of 1884
and the Seattle of 1919, the official
u~pholders Of claw and order" stood by
while business mems mobs raided halls,
smashed furniture, built bonfires on
the streets. In both cities the news
paper, whether straight out reaction
airy or pseudo-liberal, raised the red
cry, called for the army and for the
bounding of working men whose views
they did not approve. Although both
strikes were for economic demands,
the press and the politicians attempt
ed to convert both into revolutions"
to give them an excuse to smash the
effective, courageous leadership of la
Dor.
Western technique varies somewhat
from that in the East, where the regul-
ar police do most of the dirty work
against strikers. Along the Pacific
Coast the newspapers, led by the
Hearst sheets, delight to whip up dutch
courage among the business element.
Aided by hooligans, this crowd then
descends upon labor headquarters. In
Seattle in l9l8>such a mob wrecked the
printing plant of the Seattle Daily Call
while in San Francisco the other day
the Western Workers presses received
similar treatment.
Labor halls in postwar days the
Industrial Workers of the World and
the Socialist halls were the f~avorite
targets, now it is left wing union and
Communist halls - are smashed, their
furniture, records and literature thrown
into the streets and burned, their type
writer's and other valuable equipment
stolen. The police are always conven-
iently absent - just around the corner
waiting to arrest hapless victims of the
business elements mob after they have
been beaten up.
Then the respectable hoodlums visit
the homes of workers known to be ac-
tive in the strike, %terrorize their famil-
les and seize organizers who NAV be
living there. Tar and feathers, terri
Bile beatings, kidnappings and other
sadistic brutalities are characteristic.
The whole business of course is x
actly in line with what Hitler's storm
troop hoodlums, also subsidized by big
business, have been doing in Germany
for the past few years. The Pacific
Coast labor-smashing tactics are ex-
actly those of Hitler's and Mussolini's
Fascists. The whole thing. in fact. is

Then they did so with three singles
for one run.
In the meanwhile whitehill was sub
jected to good humping. Eleven
hits were made of the left-hander
and three times the Tigers punched
blows to score. Marvin Owen was the
thorn to pierce Whitehill's side most
painfully. A double by this gent,
backed two singles in the fourth to
give the Tigers two tallies. His single
was the third of the three hits in the
eighth and it showed over a marker.

TOHNNY GILL, outfielder fresh from
II Chattanooga, was thrust into the
tussling yesterday as the Nationals
wound up their split series with the
league-leading Tigers. His presence

the Tigers. All southpaws. Yet these
starting left-handers have dropped
two each.
So Cronin is ready to look to right
handlers again. but the old standbys
have failed him this trip. Which
means that Llnke will soon be out
there to show how much his work
with the Chattanooga club this season
has benefited him, especially his con-
troll.
II the chunky Chicagoan's control
has improved as much as reports from
the Washington farm indicate, Linke
ought to be good one to have around.
He had everything else needed by O
pitcher before he was shipped 10 the
Southern Association. But then he

The Next Challenge.

N TAX BAER now will hang around
lVI while five contenders are
thrown into the pit in the
course of naming the next challenger.
The five are Primo Camera, Steve
Hamas, Art Lasky, Max Schmeling
and Walter Neusel-two Germans, an
Italian and two Americans.
Schmeling and Neusel provide the
first elimination at an early date in
Germany. This will leave the winner
with Camera, Hamas and Lasky. 1t
wouldn't be a bad arrangement to
match Hamas with Lasky and
Schmeling with Camera. The two
last named entries are ex-championS,
and the winner would be in for a
good gate against the Hamas-Lasky
survivor.
These five are all well matched, but
Camera will be the hardest to beat
unless the Baer clouting did too much
damage. If Schmeling can get by
NeuSel which he should, the German
will be another tough customer in
the wake of three hard fights-some-
thing he needed before facing Baer
There would be ring full of punch
ing in Hamas-LaSky meeting, since
both keep swinging and both can hit.
Baer probably wouldn't fight again
until next June. This long rest will
give some challenging rival much
better chance-but the survivor will
have to show more than any of the

round, where Great Britain once more
Is the defending champion.
This time 1t will be Wood, Shields,
Lott and Stoefen largely against
Crawford and McGrath, and, from
this lookout, the United States should
have the edge.
In the first turn, Lott and Stoefen
should be good enough to win the
doubles. In the singles Wood and
Shields should be good for two of
the four matches. Crawford hasn't
been up to his 1888 pace this season
and McGrath Is certainly no better
than either Shields or Wood. Frank
Shields has come long way in the
last year and Wood is not only a
fine stylist and a fine tennis player,
but a cool-headed court general who
should be at his best under pressure
of this sort.
II the United States can slip by
Australia there Is almost an even
chance that her team will beat Great
Britain in spite Of Fred Perry, the
outstanding star of the last two
years.
The three survivors are all well
matched and this adds more than
normal interest to the Davis Cup

this season. He is the driving

Cochrane's drive and inspiring
leadership could get results from

show him, with gestures, how wrong
he had been. Mr., Brennan replied in
kind. 1t took three cops to break up
the duel over Herman's honor.
1t was the same way back in Ben
ton Harbor. Mich, where the boys
once ran a hot-dog stand. When
