Marine Workers Leaflet Calls on Strikers to Keep
Up Mass Picketing During Negotiations

Marine Workers Industrial Union
distributed a leaflet calling upon
the aircraft strikers not to vote to
go back to work until you have
every guarantee that every striker
will return to the job he filled be-
fore the strike and under strict
union conditions"
"The Marine Workers Industrial
Union, conscious of the fact that a
victory for you is victory for sea-
men, as well as all workers, has and
continues to support your heroic
strike. Unity of all workers can
defeat the attacks of the employers
on your living standards"
The leaflet was we'll received by
the strikers, and one after another
they took the floor, insisting that
the line of the leaflet be realized.
The right of workers to negotiate
their own agreements directly with
the employers and to directly arbi-
trate through their own elected
committees, without having to sub
nit to the tender mercies of "im-
partial" third parties-this is the
issue that is assuming major sig
nificance. At this time, when all
the pressure of government boards
is being used to force the men back
to work, under unsatisfactory con-
ditions, blow against impartial"
arbitration is the most effective &C
ton that can be taken to prevent
the passage of the fascist Wagner
labor disputes" bill, which would
give the board the dictatorial pow
ers of compulsion, which it now
lacks,

that they receive an increase on

Racketeers Get Graft on
Phila. Seamen's Relief
BY a Marine Worker

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 23.-I
wish to expose the racket of the
Federal Relief issued to us seamen
here. A promised investigation has
brought no change in the food for
the past three weeks.
At the Seamen's Church Institute
they allow $3.50 week for seamen
The meals consist of g small por-
ton of corn fakes which are al
ways old and rubbery; a few table
spoons of diluted canned milk, four
slices of OLD bread which is often
mouldy, and one cup of muddy
coffee; for dinner one plate of
watery soup, four slices of bread,
one cup of coffee; for supper: stew
bread and coffee. There has been no
change in the menu for the past 80
days, and the officials Of the Sea-
mems Church Institute state that
there will be no change for the sum-
mer.

waterfront.
The siege continued IL days. Then
in a conference with Greenstein, the
seamen's committee agreed to pre-
sent to the body Of marine workers
a new program: They would re-
register on conditions that Green
stein protect the Centralized Ship
ping Bureau against shipping by
uptown relief officials that there
be no discrimination against mill
tant seamen, that bona fide sea-
mems discharges from any port be
recognized as establishing applicants
as seamen, and that advisory COM
mittees be recognized.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-05-24

They began to re-register the next
day. Greenstein's promises proved
barren. Re-registered men were
sent to filthy uptown Lighthouses,
even to who're houses. Shipping
continued at the uptown relief sta
tons. Protest action mounted. The
seamen marched to the relief sta
lions again. Once, for exactly five
hours, they occupied street where
six hundred worker spectators gath
cred around them and applauded
their speeches. They sent speakers
to rally support in mass organiza-
tons and among students.
The capitalist press directed a
barrage at them. Louis Azrael, lib

eighth week of the hosiery strike
finds the ranks of the strikers solid
despite weak A. F. Of L. leadership
Several of the strikers have not

from scabbing.

In other league games of the day, the Tribune A. c. which is sharing the top spot with the Hearts will tangle with the Brook lyn A. c. authors of last weeks surprise packing in the form of a 10 shutout over the Thomas club. On form, the Tribes should win, but that's the way 1t looked for the Tommies Sunday ago, The Washington Hills and Recrea- tions are paired with opportunity offered the Hills to improve their even Stephen team standing.
 Timely Hitters
 Jimmy Crichton, Vic Radezvich, Ray Ahearn and Everett Murphy did the damage with the willow last Sunday while Flaherty, Nell win, Gagain and Quilter can also be figured on for a hit or two when the going gets rough. These are the boys that Lefty" Atwood will have to hold In check tomor- row if the Tommies are to win. On the other hand, Speed" Con- way will probably be called upon to- work on Bobby Greatorex, "Bossy" Harnick, Danny Briotti, Ray Lodge, and Bubbles" Balin- sky who have done right well by themselves when hits were needed to bring in runs all season to date.
 Looks Good
 For one thing, fans are antici- pating some nice pitching by Att wood and Conway, should they start for their respective teams, though "Beans'' Mulesky may get the call for the Hearts. In the Brooklyn Tribune game, 1t is up to Frank Berardi to put OH an- other performance like that of Sunday last, while Zedgryn's bat will be appreciated if he can wield 1t at the right time. The Hills should win from the Recs. whose losing has become a habit that has yet to be broken by victory.

TODANS .SPORTAPAEADE. NA&%bk4bAD
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1884, by United Press) London, July 14-UPO O-Hurl- ing is supposed to be a game, but you'd never guess it to look at it. Let an American policeman acci- | dentally run into match as did in Phoenix Park, Dublin, and he'd blow the end right off his whistle summoning the riot squad. And, upon arriving, the riot squad, If 1t had an aggregate I. Q. of six teen or better, would insist upon the backing of the militia before interfering.
 A hurling match, from what could gather from perch in a tree which I climbed immediately after the opening whistle, Is en- | gagged in by 22 men, II to a side, who are desperately tired of life, and who hate one another with d fierce, glowing hatred. Before talk ing the field of combat they equip themselves with what are jokingly called hurling sticks, but what, in reality, are middle-aged redwood trees, selected for hardness. Matches are begun by tossing a leather ball, about like a baseball, between the opposing factions. | Under the rules the teams are sup posed to try and knock the ball into nets at the ends of the field. But the nets and balls, as I saw 1t, are merely pretenses by which the | penalty for manslaughter is evad- ed. All I ever saw the warriors hit were the heads, shoulders, shins and backs of the person, or persons nearest them, be they friend or foe.
 In fact, hurling match re sembles nothing so much as it does a community rug beating, with Irishmen of story-book brawn and endurance, substituting for rugs Occasionally someone takes a swipe at the ball and hits it into the net, but for most of the time the boys are teeing off on some body's noggin.
 Hurling is a fine game for sub- stitutes. Unlike most sports, where the regulars do most of the play | ing and the second and third stringers wear out the bench, hurling is fair to all. In fact, the substitutes seem to play more than the varsity. This is due, perhaps, to the fact that the regulars are so accurate with their blows that they soon lay one another out Whereas the subs, in their eager ness to make good, hurry their shots and often infiict only a con cussion when, had they been a bit cooler, might just as well have bagged a compound fracture.
 After watching hurling match in which the victims were carried off in patches of two and three, il seems most fitting tha. Dublin hos pitals should be the chief benefac- tors of the Irish Sweepstakes. didn't check 1t, but 1 believe tho number of sweeps conducted 8 year depends largely on the num- Der of hurling leagues in operation
 Another match like the one saw and sweep officials will have tt include the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness to foot the patching bills.

HOME RUN NUMBER
 700 BY RUTH GAVE
 YANKS.LEAD AGAIN
Babe Gives Boy SzO for Ball He Hit. sOne of
 Longest in Career
By THEoN WRIGHT

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, July 14.-WP)-The incomparable Ruth strode out of the shadows of his gathering dusk yesterday, took a glowering look at parcel of young upstarts spread over a field where he once reigned supreme, and mum bled in his stubble:
 ''Cripes! The Yanks in second place? It cannot bel"
 One lusty swing of those aging shoulders. sharp smack of wood against leather, and the mightiest warrior of the game had carved history again with length of hickory.
 It drove the ball far and high, tiny white speck that sailed ovet the right field wall at Navin field. It bounded along the street out. side. and block away a small boy picked 1t up. He brought it to the Yankee dugout and Ruth gave him twenty dollars. That was his 700th home run--one of the longest balls the Bam has ever hit, travelling more than 500 feet through the air.
 Two Runs
 It canes in the third inning, and it beat Detroit. Earl Coombs, ans other warrior of another era, logged home ahead of the Babe. making the score two to none, and the Tanks won by that margin to 2. To make things sure Babe scored the run that actually won on Dickey's double in the eighth.
 Ruth's blow placed the Yankees back in first place, whence they ably be the last milepost in the great Bam's career. Seven hum dred homers! The nearest anyone has come to that Is Lou Gehrig, with S14; and Rogers Hornsby has 301.
 Once again the ancient ones of the game will run horny fingers through their whiskers, and re- mark: "As the Bam goes-so go the Tanks?
 Washington defeated Cleveland behind Wally Stewards pitching. 3-2, but lost the services of Out fielder Jack Stone, who broke his ankle running past second base.
 Wes Terrell beat the St Louis Browns almost alone. He homered twice, drove in four, held the Brownies to nine hits and Boston won, 7-2.
 Cubs Coming
 The New York Giants stretched their lead over Chicago to two as they prepare to greet the Cubs at the Polo Grounds to-day. Joe Moore hit two homers, doubled and singled as the Giants beat Pitts- burgh. 7-6. 4.t
 Boston rallied in the seventh, scored four runs driving Bill Lee off the hump, and beat the Cubs, 7-6. Woody English, Babe Her. man and Wally Berger hit homers
 Cincinnati piled up late hits to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers, S-6 The, Flatbushers rallied in the ninth, filled the bases and scored two, but the uprising was quelled when Tony Cuccinello grounded out.
 St Louis and Philadelphia were washed out in the National League, and Chicago and Philadelphia had the same fate in the American.
