the total being % to %, favor of the
Rens.
IN THE last period the Rens pushed
! their total to SO markers, adding
8 points to their final score, while
the All-Stars' valiant fight to over
take the Negro teams lead was
stopped with only five points added
to their final score.
Pappy Kicks of the Renaissance
team was high-point man, with 10
points, with Goldman of the ALL
Stars, recent captain of City Col
lege's cage team, tying honors with
10 markers.
Between halves, William Patter-
son, national secretary of the In
ternational Labor Defense, deliv-
cred stirring talk about the
Labor Sports Union, which sp0n-
sored this game, and the contrast
with the A.A.U. He described speci-
fieally the Jim Crowism, the chau-
vinism existing among the A. A. u.
sponsors who virtually exploit
amateur athletes for their own
designs, while the L.S.U. stands
for the very opposite. They fight
militanny for the equal rights OF
Negro athletes, for the building
of powerful workers sports or
ganiEation, for the absolute ahOli-
ton Of discrimination.
This attitude was shown by
worker sportsmen at the game. Both
the Negro and white teams we're
applauded spontaneously whenever
they deserved 1t. The fans appre-
ciated their services. They showed
it in their attitude.
Once again, we should applaud
the L,S.U., the arrangement COM
mittee and the players, for donat-
ing their services to make this game
possible for a great cause - the
Scottsboro Defense Fund.

that the miners we're ready to
strike; and that they would not be
kept back by the Lewis machine,
as shown In the growth of insur-
gent strikes In many fields, despite
the no-strike clause of the agree
ment,
The bosses further feared the ire
mendous fighting spirit that is de-
veloping among the railroad, auto
and steel workers, and knew that
a strike among the miners, which
could not be controlled by their
trusted lieutenants, Lewis & Co.,
would mean at this time a factor
they could not cope with.
The lower scale for the Southern
fields that still exists in the I'M
organized fields, the failure to en-
force the agreement as to condi-
tons, where the Lewis leadership
allows plenty of room for continued
attacks on the miners, shows that
only militant action and rank and
file vigilance can force the main
tenance of the gains.
What Lewis wishes to conceal
from the miners and what the
miners know Is that they we're and
are in position, through their or
gained strength, to gain much bet
ter conditions.
Price Rises Higher
The present increase of 40 cents
per day is far exceeded by the rise
in prices the miners must pay.
There is talk of the probability of
a strike of those miners where the
operators refused new agreements,
as for example, the Fairmont Sec
ton.
What the Developments will be in
the Illinois and other Western
fields, where no increases are given
at all, is not yet certain, But the
miners there are dissatisfied. The
rank and file opposition in the U,
M, w. A, is preparing TO bring be-
fore the miners, through leaflets
and the Coal Digger" which is

ment to the press announcing the

he said, will be IS, 100000 for work
and wages, which is 5000, 1000 less
than is now being provided"
This drastic layoff and cutting
of relief was La Guardia's answer
to the demands of the UNEMPLOYED
for continuation of C.W.A. Jobs and
for adequate cash relief. La Guardia
kept his police ready to club C.W.A
workers who protest. He refused
to call on Congress 10 endorse the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill.
The COMMITTEE of One Hundred
which represents many unemployed
and workers organizations, called
on the C.W.A. workers and the UNI
employed to resist the C.W.O. firing

cash relief, and to form commit
tees on the job and demonstrate at
the C.WA. and relief bureaus.

ing the temper Of the men, gave an
increase to all workers.
The manner in which the strike
was organized in department S505,
the fender department, yesterday
was typical Of the initiative and
militancy Of the workers, When the
workers were going to work in the
morning, committee got together
and talked over the plan for the
stoppage. They agreed that signal
would be given when one of them
took of his cap and goggles and
brushed off the bench. The COM
mittee then split up and informed
everybody Of the agreement. Exactly
at 9:05 the designated worker took
off his cap and goggles, and began
brushing off the bench. Immedi-
ately the entire department Of 400
men stopped work and began doing
the same.
The foreman rushed over and de-
msnded to know what was the mat
ter. The men told him they wanted
base rate increase from 40 to so
cents an hour, and bonus increase
from 1872 to 300. The foreman called
the superintendent, Tom Hoggarth,
who told the men to go back and by
1870 would let him know. When
the company agreed to raise the
base rate TO so cents an hour, and
to grant the bonus demand, the men
accepted.
Issue Leaflet on Victory.
The Auto Workers Union lie is
suing new leaflet hailing this
smashing victory of the Hudson
workers and calling on workers in
all departments to elect united ac-
ton committees. The lesflet states:
Pick out men who have CUTS
enough to fight regardless of
whether they are members OF the
Auto Workers Union. the A. P. of L,
union, or are as yet unorganized
We want united action OF all work
ers, men and women. Decide on
your demands; then stick together
and be ready TO fight for them"
The leaflet exposes the betrayal
tactics Of the A. F. of l.. of1cialdom,
and calls on the workers to join
the Auto Workers Union.
The action of the Hudson work
ers shows that thousands of auto
workers, despite the A. F. of L. Of
ficialdom's treachery, will not take
it on the chin, but will fight to en-
force demands for higher wages
against speed up and for the right
to organize in unions Of their own
choice. The Auto Workers Union

The capitalist press here continues

AS we go to press, union leaders
we're at City Hall to place their plan
before the feet owners.
Every capitalist newspaper in the
city. even the so-ealled liberal
sheets, such as the New York Post
threw off all their garments of lib
eralism and came out in open sup
port Of the feet owners yesterday.
They gave big reports of the
"ousting OF the Communist leader
ship from the strike" of a revolt
Of Bronx and Brooklyn drivers
against the Manhattan hackmen.'
They told fancy fairy tales about
the busting of Joseph Gilbert from
the union" through what they
vaguely referred to as "a reorgani-
zation Of the union to save the
strike"
The capitalist newspaper editors
have obviously overlapped them
selves in the process of trying to
transform their pious wishes into q
reality.
DistOrt Gilbert's Statement
Not one statement Of Joseph Gil
bert and Samuel Orner, the out
standing and most militant leaders
of the union, were reported correctly
in the press, II they we're reported
at all.

the strike until settlement ane
agreement Is reached with the own
ers was ignored by the press.

The strikers were warned by union
leaders and shop chair1nen to be-

Of rlnors that the strike Is over.
Only unity can keep the ranks

unity, regardless of political opinion,
will bring the drivers back to the

nized than before.
Through this unity and under the
leadership Of their union, the Taxi
