young workers and students TO be
blown to bits for the profits of a
handful of millionaires for a whole
nation of Negro people to be ground
down by the heel of the white
capitalists?
Mr.. Easley, what kind OF a demo-
cratic form of government is it which
makes possible the starvation ana
exploitation Of millions Of toilers?
What kind of a democratic form of
government is it which introduces
fascism under the slogan OF democ-
racy?
This is q democratic form of gov
ernment only for the bosses. We are
the ones who are fighting for a
democratic form of government for
the great majority Of the tOiling
population. for a proletarian democ-
racy, democracy in which the rights
supposedly guaranteed TO everybody
but actually denied TO the immense
majority OF toilers will actually be
given to the toilers.
MI Easley! You want more money
for secret police, for the defense of
the Constitution? You do not need
that. You want more money to fight
against the Communists, to help eS-
tablish an apparatus for fsscism in
the United States. But we win not
allow this.
Instead of appropriating money to
discover secrets which ever. ---1
knows, the masses demand appro-
priations for unemployment insur-
Gnce.
The answer Of the workers and
students and poor farmers to your
vicious schemes will be to still further
popularize these secrets" which you
wish to discover; to still more
strongly build the fractions against
which you raise your hands in holy
horror; to stin more energeticaliy
organize the masses for the struggle

Letter Is Not Making
the Turn

Section 5 is known as one OF the
more or less well functioning sections
IN District 8 (Chicago). 1t is there
fore worth while to examine the agit-
prop activities of this section and
learn to what extent the agitprop &C
Jiyities helped to improve the con-
centration work, as well SIS all the
campaigns of the section,
The main concentration point for
our section is the Chicago and North
Western Railroad yards. For years,
the unit in the immediate neighbour
hood "concenl rated" on the yards,
gathered a couple of hundred Com
facts" but failed to entrench its in
fluence within the lodges, nor did
they succeed in recruiting any rail-
road workers into the Party.
1t Is interesting to note that the
unit membership is very far from
being a dormant group. On the con-
trary, the unit consists of group of
energetic, active and loyal Bolshe-
yiks. But in spite of all the activity
on the part of the unit membership.
the accomplishments were nil. The
weaker comrades became dis
couraged; various fatalistic theories
we're developed by the concentration
group, all kinds of petty squabbles
arose between the section committee
and the Unity Movement leadership
and the unit disintegrated.

Rome, Ga. Workers
Answer Boss Press
Lies by Striking
Foundry Strike Still On
Despite SelI-Out and
Announcements
By CLYDE IOHNSnN

ROME, Cattle capitalist
announced that the Rome foundry
strike had been settled. This brazen
lie has been answered by the workers
refusing to go bark to work.
The Hanks Stove and Range strik-
ers did go back to work but only after
tue Iron Moulders Union officials had
betrayed them. They went back TO
work Tor less money than they were
getting when they went out on strike.
At the other three foundries the
IM.U. officials are trying to split the
militant rank and file leaders away
from the rest Of the strikers.
Jesse Perien and Emmett Parks.
Two Of the militant rank and file
leaders Of the strike, have the con-
fidence Of the men because Of their
honest and Straight-forwa leader
ship. These men have defeated the
sen-out tactics Of the I.M.U. buro-
Gratis at the Southern Cooperative
and are fighting for a satisfactory
settlement of the strike. They have
realized the necessity Of fighting the
bosses instead Of crawling on the
bellies before them as the I. M. u.
officials are doing.
They have also realized that the
Daily Worker is the only honest
paper that will carry the real news
Of their strike. For this reason they
have written "Be sure and get a
piece in the Daily Worker because
some folks think the strike is
settled"
Plans are being made to carry out
the strike to the dead finish. They
will remain out on strike until they
win. The solidarity Of these workers
has been remarkable and they de-
serve the praise of the entire working
class for their determined fight.

called on the tailors for support. and
were enthusiastically received. when
1t was ARRANGED that tailors' COM
m1ttee would sit on all settlement
proceedings. Sixty-one dollars was
collected for strike relief, and more
was promised.
Herbert Slime, attorney for the Re-
tail TailorS, Cleaners and Dyers, re-
vealed how the N. R. a. code authori-
ties have betrayed the workers, and
called on every tailor to join into a
militant mass organization to fight
relentleSsly for the demands that
would permit the 10000 families de-
pendent on living on tailoring to
make a decent living.
A resolution to that effect was
unanimously and enthusiastically
passed, to be sent to General John

here for trying to organize the work

Jacobs the manager, stated in the

answer to this, the workers at the
shelter placed notices on the bulletin
board, urging the formation Of griev-

tice Off the board and challenged the
workers who posted the notice to de-
bate. One worker, Sands, accepted.

FooT-IN.BUcKET!

Many remedies for the foot-in-
the-bucket batter have been tried.
1t is not difficult to cure, but it
does require immediate attention.
Coaches in the colleges and larg-
er ball leagues now get a steady
pitcher and have him put well
controlled balls over the plate,
first letting the batter in ques-
ton stand up and watch them go
by and then allowing him to take
his cut at it. If he still jerks his
foot away, backstop is put in
back of him, so that he cannot
step but into the ball and toward
the plate. This undoubtedly is a
terrifying experience at first. To
realize that the ball is coming in
ones general direction and there
is no way to jump away from it
would try anyone whose mind is
concentrated on the possibility of
being struck. This backstop-meth-
cd is usually effective after the
first few pitches when the batter
quickly overcomes his fear of the
swiftly hurled ball.

The Spanish atmosphere here is

of the most interesting points of

but little in the past. This is in
the way they play baseball. Teams
from Cuba, composed wholly of
natives of that island, tour the
United States each summer and
are greeted by large crowds every
where. There is a peculiar fasci-
nation in the pep and emotions of
the Spanish ball player out on the

GLORY OE THE PAST

Sitting on the old Athletic Club
porch in the afternoon watching
the bathers, old timers recall the
glory of our beaches in the past.
When the Athletic Club had
canoes and boats and a pier and
well kept dressing rooms sHd
basketball courts and a gym full
of equipment. The Coral file
Casino then had noted 'flong
pier" and there was a promenade
walk built over the water closer
to shore. 1t is one of the fondest
hopes of Key Westers that the
FERA may bring back our beau
tiful bathing beaches and perhaps
build a long boardwalk along the
shore. Visitors would find delight
where now there are huge rocks
over which one must walk to reach
the sandy "bar" little way out.

HIT BY PITCHER!


When boys are young in the
game of baseball, the hardest
thing for them to do is to stand
up at the plate against a fast-ball
pitcher without fear. 1t is natural
to duck back when someone throws
something at you, especially a
rounded, speeding pellet as a
baseball. Experience in the game
controls this fear and reduces it
to a minimum. Then comes the
time when the player is hit-by-
pitcher for the first time. In
yariably a period follows when he
doesn't feel exactly comfortable
at the plate, but time will wipe
out that fear again. Then-batter
hit in the head! No other injury
in baseball is so dangerous to
morale. Usually the one hit in
this manner is knocked uncon-
conscious. After he RECEIVERS, he
may turn into a Observation-Disclosures
batter. This is one who pulls his
left foot away from the plate
when the ball is thrown and thus
makes it doubly-difficult to secure
smooth swing and proper timing
of the pitch. Nearly every ball
player sooner or later is hit on
some part of his body, but the hit
on the head is always guarded
against by pitcher and batsman.
1t is a dangerous injury.

sense, we always recall Popin

he claims to have been hit by
pitched, batted and thrown balls
about so times. He has been hit
in the head a number of times. He
has a broken arm, sustained in
play. His left ankle has had
about six serious sprains and his
right, three. Last year he dislo-
Gated a rib, then suffered a deep
cash in the midriff by falling
against barbed wire fence in
the outfield. His face was once
gashed by another trailing wire
fence and bruised from still an
other collision. But except for his
arm, he feels just as healthy to-
day as before he started his in
jury career.
