Something NeW in Football

1T does seem curious, if the senator is merely one
fan, or customer, among many that he assumes
the right to call off entire student demon
stration at Louisianas games for personal
reasons. Your correspondent has had a rather
extensive experience with football teams in all parts
Of the country but has known before of case
in which an outsider possessed the authority to re
orders to the varsity team of any organization C#
ing itself institution Of learning. AS rule IT,
authority lies first with the COACH then with the
athletic director, next with the faculty committee
and, finally with the president of the school.
Senator Long is not alumnuS of Louisiana
State nor even an officer of the state government,
but he speaks the only authority and issues chal-
lenges calls off dates, leads the parades, recruits
and hires the players and in general takes quite
active hand in the conduct of football affairs at the
state university.
He also speaks Of Louisiana State as my team"
and it is more than your correspondent can do to
distinguish the difference between the purposes for
which he used the football team when he takes it
out tour in the fall and the to which he puts
his famous radio sound truck at other of the
year. In fact, football has created louder bayhoo
for him and wider territory than the circus
radio truck ever has been able to accomplish.
Probably, the senator will just decide to rub HIS
feelings and make the trip anyway, band and ALL
It would be very unlike him to forego the balyhoo
value of the trip because he has been caught in the
act. The senator always is being caught in the act

laughing too much Though it
sounds incredible anyone could
laugh) Batova was dismissed once.
Her sister kneeled on the floor in
front Of the foreman and begged to
have her taken back.
At the age of II, Batova was mar
ried to a joiner, whose only room
was space under his bench for
his belongings, He slept on the
bench.
Batova's first child was born with
out medical attendance, and she
worked up to the very hour of child
birth. Such things happen still, in
capitalist countries. But they are
impossible in the Soviet Union.
SO Batoya, in spite of her religion,
became something of revolution
list. She helped with the barricades;
she was beaten up by Cossaeks, even
though she was eight months
pregnant, because they suspected
her of concealing her nephew who
fought on the barricades. The beat
ing caused a still birth. Such beat
ings have happened in strikes, quite
often, in capitalist countries. But
they will never happen again in
the land that was called Russia,

feel, but they know that they own

at her disposal, to work as many

So Batova spends some of her

condemning the white terror in
Vienna, and collect money to help

Austria: the arguments of the So

purely defensive fight, to pre-

NRA Codes Swell

Federal Trade Commits

poly N.R.A. Grip

WASHINGTON. March 23.-F1Ir-
ther attack on the N.R.A. codes as
definitely strengthening the position
of the Wall Street monopolies came
to light Wednesday in the Senate
speeches Of Senators Borah and Nye,
and in report Just published by the
Federal Trade Commission.
The MIRA. code for the steel in
dustry is in the direct control of
leading representatives Of the steel
monopolies, and was written by
them with the direct purpose Of
strengthening the position of these
monopolies against the small nom
monopoly producers, the Federal
Trade Commission states in its re-
port.
The MIRA. has raised the price of
steel, giving the steel trust an enor-
nous increase in profits, through
price-raising agreements, the report
continues,
These charges were repeated by
Senator Borah, who declared on
the floor of the Senate:
Under the N.RA. codes the
small business man has no chance.
The steel code is definitely mo-
nopolistic. IT is an example of eco
nOnic feudalism. The same Is
true of practically every large in
dustry."
Senator Nye confirmed this charge

sions, American workers, undertak-
ing to repay the bosses with their
own coin, have used violence in
strikes with the full knowledge and
consent Of their law abiding, -
patriotic and respectable" union
leaders. In such cases the main
consideration Of these leaders has
been to see to it that they did not
endanger their own safety. And 1t
is also known fact that the top
leadership Of the A. F. Of L. we're
quite aware of the militant tactics
that had long been used by the
McNanaras and others in building
the Ironworkers' Union and they
had said nothing against them.
Hence the union officials horror"
at the exposure of the McNamaras
as labor dynamiters was Just so
much hypocrisy. It was an attempt
to protect themselves by throwing
these fighters to the lions
Forced Guilty" Plea on McNamaras
Labor officialdom's indignation"
at the McNamaras' plea. Of guilty
was no less treacherous and hypo-
critical. 1t is an established fact
that the guilty plea did not originate
with the McNamaras, but was prac-
tically forced upon them by their
friends and defenders" and was
made by the McNamaraS unwill-
ingly and against their better judg-
ment.
The originator of the guilty plea
idea was Lincoln Steffens, a then
famous muck-raker and capitalist
journalist. Something Of an anar-
chist and petty-bourgeois utopian,
Steffens developed the fatal notion
that this bitter struggle could be
harmonized. By a practical appli-
cation of the Golden Rule the fight
could be liquidated and Capital and
Labor would become friendly
brothers. All that was necessary
was for the McNamaras to plead
guilty and for the capitalists to
agree 10 give the McNamaras light
sentences, abandon all further
prosecutions, and then sit down
and work out an agreement with
the unions.
Entered Agreement with Bosses
The capitalist forces, led by Otis,
were acute enough to agree to this
bizarre proposal They realized
what weapon the whole arrange
ment would be against the workers.
Next Darrow, leading attorney for
the defense, accepted it, At the time
he was threatened with jail for at
tempted jury fixing and plain cow
ardice seems to have been his i'm
polling motives, as he saw way
to save himself. Finally, the Pacific
Coast labor leaders handling the
case were likewise won over to the
plea f-guilty scheme. Many Of
them also feared indictments in
connection with the dynaniting
and the proposed plan was provi-
Dental way out of their difficulty.
Gompers representatives on the
ground also agreed, and it is in
conceivable that the Socialist, job
Hartman, who was working very
closely with the defense, was not
fully acquainted with the widely
discussed plan.

lishment of Soviet power brought
her present enormously improved
conditions, and she thinks that all
workers in the whole world have a
similar right to such conditions, and
to use the only possible means Of
obtaining them, the overthrow of
capitalism, whether it be called
fascist" or democratic" Il hope
the Austrian workers will build their
Red Army" she said. Il know they
are mostly unemployed. Here no
one is unemployed. I hope the Aus
trian workers will no longer bend
their backs to the bosses for the
right to feed their children"
Batova herself had 13 children,
of whom six died during the hard
personal---very. life. She lives now
in the apartment where 1 met her,
with several of the youngest. The
Oldest are already workers. highly
skilled workers, one specialist,
with their own apartments.
Batova's apartment has large and
CHEEKY rooms. 1t is we'll heated by
central heating. Pictures are on the
wall, and flower pots on the win
dow lodges. There are books and
papers around. There is plenty of
furniture, in good taste. Everything
is clean and pretty.
An interesting thing is that every
room has either bust or a picture
of Lenin. Batova heard Lenin
speak, and has since tried to Edo
what Vladimir Tlytch said, and to
bring up my children and grand
children to do it too" Her fourth
daughter, Alexandria, is member

Batova herself is Party member
since 1925. Her oldest son is tech
nician in a steel mill. Her son
Peotr is learning to be an artist.
Her daughter Serafima, is in the
fifth grade in school, and is a
Pioneer. One daughter is married
to Communist Party worker on a
Sovkhoz. Other daughters work in
the Trikhgornaya mill
DATOvA describes somewhat the
ID life of a working woman under
the regime of private ownership of
mills and lands.
She regards the first 40 years of
her life as lost, not really living.
She started working in the fields of
rich peasant, a kulak, at the age
of ten, doing needle work for his
family in the winter time. She was
paid Is kopeks a day, and not pro-
vided with food. Sometimes she was
paid, not with money, but with a
piece of soap, or anything that was
handy.
At the age of IA she entered a
cotton mill; she got seven rubles
a month wages, for twelve hours
work per day. twenty-five persons
rented one large room from kulak
and sleptlon the floor, without beds.
The landlady made their dinner;
each tenant providing some sort
of food, which was thrown into a
common pot.
All washing was done on the
street, even in winter, At the fac
tory, there was no hot water, and
even the cold water was dirty. The

by saying:
Il don't think there Is any
doubt" said Senator Nye, "the re-
port can be made the basis to show
that big business has hogged the
NR.A. show from beginning to end.
The report, combined with the re-
port of the trade commission on
steel and what has been disclosed as
to the electrical manufacturing
code. must convince the public that
the NR.A. program is in the inter-
est Of monopoly"
At the same time both Senators
praised the Roosevelt recovery pro-
gram, forgetting that the MIRA. mo-
nopoly prices are part of the Roose-
velt recovery program"

manifesto and program was the
foundation for united struggle
against war and fascism to which
every delegate present in the Con-
gress pledged himself and to secure
