the unqualified opening up OF all company towns
for full and free discussion OF the issues involved
including discussion Of the right Of the steel work
ers to organize in unions Of their choice; discussion
Of the difference between genuine unionism and
company unionism, the right to strike and picket,
etc. The demands call for the immediate dis
arming and dispersal Of the armed forces of the
steel companies abolition of the company spy sys-
TEN, abolition of blacklistng, guarantees against
discrimination against Negro workers and foreign
born workers
The ballot, the sMWIU. declares, must be
worded "Are you in favor of the trade and indus
trial unions controlled by workers. which are part
of the American labor movement. Vote yes or no.
Are you in favor of sO-calIed emplOye representa-
tive plans-commOnly called company unions
having no connection with the American labor
movement, Vote yes no." Thus will the issue
be placed clearly without any chance of preventing
the steel workers from declaring their preference
against the company union
The proposals demand that all candidates shall
be required to state clearly their stand for or
, against the company union and that the workers
be guaranteed full and free discussion during the
election period The vote for or against the genuine
trade and industrial union company union should
be computed "by adding the votes cast both for
the A.A. and the Steel and Metal Workers Indus
trial Union (and any other genuine union)"
against the company union All representatives
shall be removable by majority vote of the rank
and file at any time.
TE1E struggle Of the steel workers for their eco
nonic demandS-against the speed-up for wage
increases for union recognition and against dis
crinination-has been only temporarily defeated by
the acceptance Of Roosevets arbitration board by
the Green-Tighe Committee of Ten. The steel
workers, led by the SMWIU. must now organize
the united struggle for these demands in every MILL
and prepare for strike to achieve these demands
The coming government-controlled elections
backed by the guns of the steel trust guards, are
aimed to complete the Sell-out and smash the work
ers' unions. AS the SN.WI.U. stated in Washing
ton:
Nationwide organization, honest and militant
leadership, directly responsible to and removable
by the rank and file, unity of all steel workers
in the constant struggle for decent living cOndi-
tons and against the continual Entertainments
upon and denial Of elementary workers right by
the companies is the only effective weapon of the
workers in this key industry of American capital
ism. The proposals of the SM.W.LU. are In
tended to make possible the rapid forging of this
necessary weapon for the steel workers.

To BE OR Nor TO BE

THE Colonial Council is asked to say
I by its vote today whether it desires
the island of st. Croix to be or not TO
be socialisic state.
1t is being asked to decide whether it
is better to have five hundred small
sources of employment, from bank clerk
TO farm hand: from manager of mGr-
camille business to the truckman who
haus the merchandise from the dock to
the store: or whether it should change IN
one day, by snap decision. to condition
under which one group. directed by one
mind would control every source of en-
ployment.
In Russia, where a similar system of
government obtains, the people decide
who should govern their collective state.
If this experiment were to be made in
the State of New York or Chicago. the
people of New York or the people of
Chicago would decide the depth they
would plunge into socialism, whether it
would be headlong plunge or more
gradual dive into it.
American newspapers tell US this is long
range planning. There is great uncer-
tanty as TO what would be the result Of
such an experiment, therefore let Us not
try it out on Americans, but down in that
isolated tropical group where the popu-
lation is 81 percent Negroes is the right
place for the experiment.
And yet this is the one side OF the
questions only.
ETbs Americans started here with an ex-
detrimental set up that was possible be-
cause of the numerous Officers of the
Navy that could be detailed for duty in
the Virgin Islands. Now this set up ia
costing the United States Cover nment
over $500, 900 year and plan has been
offered whereby, according to the Ameri-
can papers. the Government will be ire

caught one world series when he was
too i'll to stand up. but he staggered

This is the same Cochrane now

To him was given team supposed
to finish fifth or sixth. He has had
this team in the lead as far along as

has put even more fight and fire into
the team he now manages He knows
how to handle pitchers and he knows
how to keep a bunch Of ball players

Cochrane, born in Bridgewater,

He has class, character and ability.

FROM THE PRESS BOX
by JOHN LARDNER-

"If Rosenbloom was matched with
Shirley Temple" said Mr.. J. J. john
ston, Il would fear for Makes safety
not the little dolls"
Along about this time the Fermonte
mansion at Westhampton Beach be-
gan to be infested with newspaper
people. They showed a tendency to
mix Enzos fight career with his posi-
ton as No. 401 among the four hun
dred. Society reporters asked him II
he had been invited to the wedding OF
his stepSon, John Jacob Astor, and
EMO could not produce an engraved
affidavit to prove that he had. II
was an awkward situation, any way
you look at it.
So EMO retired from the ring for
the second time in the space of q
year. He was not afraid OF Mr.
Rosenbloom, for Mr.. RosenbloOm
would not scare a nervous prairie
dog He was just bit annoyed, and
terribly, terribly hurt.
Since there is no prospect Of the
fight being held in the immediate
future" said EMO, in part, i have
decided to chuck it all.
And now Signor Fiermonte has
decided to pick it up again. although
the State commission shows no sign
of Withdrawing its theory that he is
a palooka and Mr.. Rosenbloom is a
homicidal panther. The signor is
relying on the Freres Johnston to
square that rap. He will handle the
fighting end of it. and he will do his
training in Asbury Park, N. j.. where
there is less prospect of the newspaper
people mixing with the AStors and
breaking valuable vases.

"A FTER Crowder there came Bob
~ Kline and Russell to do some
atrociouS chucking, then after q
fine home rally had evened affairs
poor old Alec McColl took the hill tc
be nicked for the run that spoiled
everything. That gave Cronin a
chance to employ fifth pitcher
Whitehill got the call and all the AS
did to him was get a single that
raised their hit total for the fray tc
an even dozen.
The Nationals made nine hits in
this opening encounter. Also five
passes. And the AS committed six
errors But the humping given Al
Benton and Joe Cascarella and the
fuzzy fielding back of them amounted
to nothing IN the face of the fierce
hinging done by the Washington
curvers.
The second game was hot contest
between Johnny Marcum and Bobby
Burke until the seventh when Burke
blew after getting two out and the
AS stepped out to triumph for the
second time. McColl and Kline got
their second workouts of the day
before the game ended with the Ma
tionals outhit. l3 Safeties to 8.
In the opening encounter. it was
the Nationals who first found the
plate. Kress nicked Benton for a
single at the outset of the third in
ming and continued to second when
McNair, who had fielded the hit,
chucked to the Washington dugout.
Sewell's infield erasure and Crowder's
hoist brought Red home.
The AS swung into line with two
tallies in the fourth Successive
singles by Foxx, Johnson and Higgins
crowded the bases. COleman'S walk
forced over a run and Warstler's
fly accounted for another.
Foxx's homer added to the Mack
total in the sixth, but the Nationals
came right back to achieve two-run
lead Bluege picked up Crowder's
bat and walked as a starter. He took
third when Myer hit for a base
Stone grounded to Higgins and a
double play seemed imminent. But
Warstler dropped the throw as Bluege
crossed. Manush singled to load the
stations and bring Cascarella to
Benton's relief.

is a form of insect life. He does his
sparring with chorus girls and his
road work on the dance floor.
He sees nothing wrong with this sort
of training as long as he gets away
with It. Mr.. Rosenbloom is a phi
losopher of the first order.
Signor Fiermonte's attitude toward
him is reminiscent of the attitude of
Tommy Loughran toward Primo
Camera. Tommy made the same
sort of statements about Primo. He
called him a detriment to the pro-
fesSion. But his position was weak
ened by the fact that Primo had
beaten him when they met in the
ring at Miami.
If Signor Fiermonte believes in
precedent. he will cease talking of
cricket and perfect a defense against
the left and right hand slap. And,
if the State commissioners have a
sense of humor, they will permit the
Freres Johnston to carry out their
plans for the most entertaining bout
of the year.
