ers before the final whistle
blew, while Lindfors of the
New England team logged
closely with 10 points.
The Kaytee quintet started with
a bang in the first few seconds of
play, when Hoffman rolled a short
one through the net. Heino fol-
lowed for the Yritys with a long
shot, and Lindfors pushed the oval
from under the basket to put the
Yritys in the lead for the first and
only time during the game. Kaytee
cagers came through with a barTage
of baskets, with Hanson pushing
the ball one-handed into the net,
followed in succession by Hurley's
shot from the center of the court,
Adams free throw and H. Olson's
short shot. The quarter ended with
the score II to 4.
IN the second period, E. HeikkiIa
Fsank a charity show before
Hoffman of the Kaytee five
knocked a side shot in, and V.
Heikkila followed with another
free throw. Lindfors heaved a
long shot clean through the net
to make the score IL to in Kay
tees favor. Adams twirled two
balls into the basket in rapid sue
cessiOn from the center Of the
court to add four more points to
the Kaytee's side of the score
board. Then Heino, Eindfors and
E. Heikkila pushed the ball
through in rapid succession to
make their score perilously close
to Kaytee's total. H. Olson and
Hurley put two short ones in and
LindfOrs sank a long shot before
the half ended with the 81 to 16
in favor Of Kaytee.
THE second half marked a barrage

Kaytee at the higher end of the

Left Wing Candidate
To HGW Convention

NEW YORK.-A meeting of Local
3S of the International branch was
held on April II, 1884 for the NOM
nation of delegates to the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union convention and for the cleo
ton of an Election Objection Com
nittee.
Despite all the manouevres and
their mobilization of the officials
despite ther isolation of the Italian
workers through calling separate
meetings, the left wing succeeded in
electing Eva Cohen to the Election
Objection Committee. The other
left wing candidates lost by a very
small margin.

the far end of the court and made
a side shot Sipula, a newcomer
into the game for Kaytee, batted
one in under the net. V. Heikkila
shot a short and free throw be-
fore Adams concluded the point,
making a nice side shot to make
the score 38 to % in favor Of Kay
tee before the final whistle blew.
IN the whole, we saw a good ex-
v hibition Of basketball. Kaytee
had the advantage in playing on
their home court; but they showed
fine passing game, strong often
sive and defensive. Their shots
weren't wasted 1t took long time
for the Yritys to find their shoot
ing eyes, but not in time to over
take the lead piled up by the Yay-
tee quintet.
It only remains now for the
Kaytee A. G. TO battle it out with
the Roseland Sparks for the ma
tional L. S. U. championship,
which will come off the 9th of
April. The Chicago team, which
had bowIed over the best in the
Middle West and who were the
national titIeholders of last year,
will present formidable lineup.
However, the Kaytee showed
fine bit of playing and wouldn't
put my dough on either Of them,
so close will the game be. That's
what j predict. The teams will
decide on the Kaytee court and
again they will have the advan-
tage over the Chicago outfit in
playing on familiar grounds.
And that, readers, will mark the
end Of the cage season, to be re-
sunned again in the winter.

Picketing Is Effective
i'm Face of Sheriff's
Armed Thugs
Special to Daily Worker

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April Is
Two large captive mines Of the pow
srful Tennessee Coal and Iron Rail
road Corporation, subsidiary Of the
q. S. Steel joined the Alabama mine
strike for equal pay with the North.
The mines on strike are Wylam
No g and the Edgewater mine.
This is the first strike in the Ten
nessee Coal since 1921.
Despite the fact that the Sheriff
has deputized $50 thugs to attack
the strikers, the first days picketing
Of the mines was 100 per cent ef-
fective.
Conditions in the Wylam mine,
employing 2,700 miners, are ap-
palling. The voluntary check-off
has been granted, but the miners
have been terrorized into tearing up
the check-off cards, The men are
denied the proper amount of cars.
The average miner makes SO a shift
and seldom gets more than IS to 50
a week.

ducts for relief and house rent
which leaves the miner sometimes
around 50 for two weeks pay. Then
on top of this the coal diggers are
cheated on the scales.
Urge Mass Picketing,
The Communist unit in the Wy
lam mine has distributed a large
number of leaflets calling for a de-
ternined fight for pay Of the Ala
bama miners equal to that received
by the northern miners, recognition
of the union, no cheating on the
scales. no deduction for relief or
back rent
The leafet also urges the miners
TO set up democratically elected
rank and file strike committee to
lead the struggle, to mass picket the
mines and to spread the strike to
the Docena and the Hamilton Slope,
two other captive mines of the Ten
nessee Coal Company.

Communist Party
Calls on Illinois
Miners to Fight
To Win 6-Hour Day, Etc.
Must Strike in Face of
Leaders, Treachery
Daily Worker Midwest Bureau)

Daily Worker Midwest Bureau
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 15.--A
call to prepare for strike has been
ssued in the Southern Illinois coal
fields by the sub district committee
of the Communist Party on the heels
of the attempt of the N. r. A., to-
gether with the coal operators and
Lewis union bureaucrats, to stave
of the demand for a six-hour day,
Sc scale with the concession of a
seven-hour day.
THE threatening strike of 100000
miners" reads the call, "has forced
the N. r. A., coal operators and
the union bureaucrats to throw us
a crumb in the form Of a seven
hour day. This small concession is
an attempt to defeat the growing
sentiment Of the miners for a six
hour day and S6 scale. When We
consider the mechanization, speed
up. wage cuts and the constantly
rising cost Of living, coupled with
the fact that the new proposal car
ries no guarantee of minimum
amount of work, then it is clear
that the seven-hour day alone does
not solve the starvation, misery and
unemployment.
Because of the growing anger on
the part of the miners against Lewis
throughout the coal regions, the
Lewis machine is trying to use the
seven-hour day to strengthen their
hold over the miners, and with the
help Of the coal operators and the
N. r. A., to increase their check
off, extend gun-thug domination in
various fields, all with the aim Of
building stronger strike breaking
machine against the miners. The
miners need no introduction to the
long list of Lewis betrayals
"On the other hand, the P NJ. A,
officials speak for 6-hour day, but
like Lewis, they are against any
militant action to win this demand,
The promise of 6-hours is a man
euver of the P. M. A. officials to
keep themselves in the saddle. This
is to kill any strike action. This
will lead to another betrayal.
1--WE can win these demands but
not in Washington or in the Pea
body courts. We can win them
only on the picket line by militant
mass action. The officials will not
organize strike action. All they
want is per capita. We must do
it over their heads, by preparing
NOW. What is to be done? Don't
wait for someone 10 call a general
strike, the road to a statewide
strike is by starting the ball rolling
in one or two mines and spreading
the strike to other mines.
Break the shackles of the Lewis
and Pearcy machines! Unite on the
basis of these demands! For 6-hour
day, So scale and 8 day week, for
better conditions in the mines! Or

Racketeers Smash Up Furniture
Before the rank and file hack
men arrived Goldsteins group had
broken practically oil the legs off
Of the tables and chairs to use as
weapons against the drivers dele
cation.
While over a hundred hackmen
waited downstairs in front Of the
building committee of five,
headed by Clearance Robbilard,
went to the office, where they de-
manded in the name of the rank
and file of the union to know why
Weiner and his group of rack
eteers had declared themselves
leaders of the local. They also de-
manded a financial report and
that the files and union property
be turned over to the rank and
file.
To all these questions there were
no answers forthcoming. The
racketeers. along with Samuel
Smith, president of the Bronx
local, and Anxious Most, organizer
and leader of the split movement,
gave vague statements that they
would answer these questions at
meeting they would hold soon.
In regard to the financial state
ment the racketeers gave the ex-
cuse that William Rubin, who was
in charge of the funds, was sick.
1t was learned yesterday that
the funds were stolen by the
Weiner gang through william
Ruhin's failure to bank the money
as 1t came into the office. This
money was put away where the
raoketeers could lay their hands
on it. All outgoing union funds
were paid in checks, bearing Sam
uel Orner's signature. But be-
cause the raoketeers never banked
any of the funds coming in dur
ing the course of the strike the
union bank account was exhausted
and the bulk of the union money
remained in the hands Of the
Weiner, gang.
1t was announced by Samuel
Orner yesterday at the temporary
headquarters of the union, 131 w.
18th St.. that meeting of garage
chairnen will be held at the union
headquarters today at pm,
where the constitution of the
union, dues stamps, union books,
etc, and the question of continu-
ing to build the Taxi Drivers
Union as the one fighting union
of hackmen in New York will be
taken up.
The decisions of the meeting to-
day will be taken to garage meet
ings and later to the entire body
Of hackmen for discussion and
vote.
In order to make certain that
funds collected for the Taxi
Drivers Union of Greater New
York will from now on not fall
into the hands Of the racketeers
in the And st. office Samuel Or
ner and Joseph Gilbert issued an
appeal to all organizations and in
dividuals who have collected money
for the union to turn it over i'm
rnediately to Samuel Nessin, sec
rotary of the Labor Committee to
Support the Taxi Strike, 80 E. 18th

I'VE also want to warn all or
