held on to Howard because 1 fig
ured could use him in the OUT
field, but now he's got a Charley@
horse and I don't know what to do
with him. Can you use a good out
fielder? Well, I wouldn't try to
fool pal. He amt no sensation
but at least you could always use
him in batting practice.
I wish you'd come around and
take look at my shortstop. I
don't want to sell him to you. I
only want to make you jealous. Do
you know what he is2 He is a
poet. A kid by the name of Rolfe.
I can't read poetry, because I amt
up on the refined things, being I'm
engaged in mundane things, as the
poets say, eh. eh. how's that, but
you can't get ball by him. He can
swing a bat, too.
1 got a newcomer to the 1eagua
in Carl Reeve who plays at second,
don't know about him, but
ROlfe recommends him. 1 don't
know, maybe they's both poets.
You can hardly tell poet these
days. They don't look no differ
ent from cartoonists, which is
now ordinary people, though they
used to be nuts.
NELL, as I tod you. I really don't
W know what to say. I'd like you
to see the game, as I'm sure you'd
be interested. I need ready cash
and maybe I can sell you a thing
or two. I know you're always look
ing for bargains. We got an in
teresting character on the team, too,
Jake Burck. He's a man whose
had a career. He used to be a gen
eral in a nudist camp, then he was
vegetarian, now he's baseball
player. The boys look with a great
deal of respect to him. He's always
carrying books around with him,
and I think he's a writer, because
he don't look like he knows how to
read. I'll consider q good offer.

After fingerprinting he was

Daniels and I were placed in

NEW YORK. 49, The inhuman,
bestial brutality Of LaGuardia' S
! police, comparable only to the
brown-shirted Hitler sadists, waz
further attested to yesterday by
Joseph SCHNEIDER, one of the ten
workers who were arrested at the
May 6 demonstration.
SCHNEIDER told the story Of the
clubbing Of Core Daniels, another
prisoner, to which he was wit
ness.
Schindler's Statement
After I was arrested, I was taken
to the rear of so Lafayette st. At
that time there were four other
workers there under arrest. Shortly
after, the police brought in the
prisoner whom I later knew as Core
Daniels; he was bleeding from the
head.
"AIl of us we're beaten and
kicked by the cops. Carlson, who
was bleeding from the head and
mouth, they tried to put head
first into an ash-can. When We
protested, we were beaten. We all
asked for medical attention, which
was denied us.
Woman Beaten and Freed
"a woman, who was also under
arrest was beaten and choksd by
the police. To her cries for mercy,
she was beaten and choked, and
then released. We we're Shackled and
dragged to a patrol wagon and
taken to the 5th Precinct Police
Station where we were booked and
taken to the rear where our wounds
were dressed.
After being booked. we were
taken upstairs singly. While I was
upstairs. Daniels was brought in.
The most savage attack have ever
seen, the most brutal tortur l have
ever witnessed was given him. They
grabbed him by the hair; hit him
with their clenched fists. While
he was lying PROSTATE on the floor
the police and detectives kicked him
about the body. They threatened
to murder him; pulled the hair
from his head and called him a
dirty swine"
Cop Praises Hitler
zone COP, splitting in his face,
said, L don't blame Hitler for
his treatment of the Reds"
wpuId like to see this country like
HitIer's. 1 approve of Hitler 100
per cent"
while he was being beaten,
Daniels, in his agony, said Kill
me. I don't care; but stop tortur-
ing me- To this they tainted him
and threatened to kill him.
"They grabbed him by the head
and forced his battered, bleeding
mouth to the feet of cop, max
ing him kiss the cops feet. The
COP. while Daniels mouth wss
at his feet, IUnged kick at his
mouth.
Threaten to Kill D'Amicis
"D'Amicis. a nlild-mannered La
tin. said, II do not mind kissing
his feet. He is a human being
I love all people. At this, the
cops Knocked him, snarling, Love,
we don't believe in love. We're

the Labor Board dropped everything
to schedule a conference with them
this afternoon.
n. R. A. Administrator General
Hugh S. johnson told the press
that he and w. A. Irwin, president
of the U. S. Steel Corporation, have
discussed "a settlement of the steel
situation similar to that in the auto
mobile industry"
Would Duplicate Auto SelIout
At the same time President
Roosevelt was meeting some of the
auto magnates for whom he put
over that now notorious settlement
with the aid of A, F. of L. officials
Observers all agreed that obviously
the President was discussing the
possibility of duplicating the auto
sell out in steel. At the White
House, Walter Chrysler and several
other auto owners held secret con-
ference with Roosevelt, No an
nouncemcnt of what took place was
forthcoming.
Officials declined to comment on
reports that the steel barons are
laying in supplies of food within
their mills, to feed strike breakers,
as well as increasing ornaments,
in preparation for the strike.
Johnson said that Irwin could
not speak for the Iron and Steel In

dsr, and would report back after
the Institute discussed matters with
Irwin. johnson added that they
considered concessions that might
be made, but didn't specify beyond
the Auto Labor Board suggestion.

Even the A. A. representatives,
however, admitted that the steel

Call June 10 Conference For
United Action of Unemployed
Committee Issues Call
to All Workers
Organizations

NEW YORK-The fourth session
Of the Greater New York Confer
ence on c. W. A. and Unemploy-
ment Committee Of 1000 will be
held at Stuyvesant Casino, 142 Sec
ond Ave, June 10, at 2 p. m.
Since the first session Of the con-
ference held on March 4, the Com
mittee of 100 and its afhliated Or
CARNATIONS has succeeded through
mas picketing and mass demonstra-
lions in having laid-ofT workers re-
placed, defeated the purpose Of the
'paupers' OATH" and fought by
neighborhood actions and city-Wide
demonstrations for adequate relief
and for the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill Oh. r. 1899.
The LaGuardis administration
has announced plan Of forced
labor on relief cuts. is dropping
10000 from the Home Relief rolls
and firing work relief employees. To
the workers demands for adequate
relief or Jobs, LaGuardis has un-
lcashed police terror. has jailed
demonstrators, and is attempting to
whip up terror against the jobless
through the columns of the press.
To defeat the starvation plans
Of LaGuardia, the Conference
Committee has issued calls to all
workers organizations, trade unions,
work relief projects, and unem-
ployed groups to elect two delegates
from each local and two delegates
from each central or city body to
the June 10 conference.
Calls have been sent to each local
of the Socialist led Workers Unem-
ployed Union, and some of the
locals are preparing to send del
egates. David LASER, executive
head of the Workers Unemployed
Union has, in letters to the Com
mittee of 100, asked for united &C
ton on a city-Wide basis. In reply,
the Committee has asked the rep
resentatives of the Unemployed
Union to meet with them for pre-
liminary discussions on the basis of
the united front. At the meeting
last night to which they we're in
vited, these representatives did not
appear.
At the Forthcoming conference
the Committee of 100 will be re-
constituted, newly entering organ
izations will be represented on all
committees, and a new program of
action to meet present exigencies
will be adopted.
In its new scope, the Committee,
in It's draft constitution to be sub
m,tted June 10, will become a a
federation of all groups affiliated to
the Conference. All aff1liated or
CARNATIONS will be represented on
the committee with delegates of
their own choosing on the basis Of
one delegate for the first 200 mem
bers and one delegate for each ad-
ditional 500 members or major frac-
ton thereof. At the same time. sf-
filiating organizations will retain
their own identity and autonomy
rsssrving all rights to separate
program and independent action on
ell matters pertaining to their own
membership.

Terror RACES ~
On New Orleans Docks

NEW ORLEANS, Juns S = The
longshoremen are continuing q
heroic battle here against the
greatest show of police and gang
ster violence that has ever been
seen on the waterfront here.
Mayor Walmsley is renting a por-
ton Of his police to the shipowners.
The police, in uniform and plain
clothes, are paid 1924 day by the
tosses. This gives the guards of
the strikebreakers full authority to
shoot, srrcet and club without mo-
,astation Even those who protested
police brutality were arrested and
clubbed.

nounced officially that they had or
dered all their members back
aboard the ships and had called off
any strike action in support Of the
longshoremen.
The Marine Workers Industrial

to repudiate this shameful action of
the leaders of the I.W.W. and to
support the striking longshoremen
by striking the ships as they come
into port.

Gay, in misery. I'm having
my own troubles. You don't
know what it means to
manage such a bunch of ball
players like we have on the
Daily Worker They amt base
ball team; they're philosophers.
It's some game they play. Try and
tell them man is out after three
strikes. They say no. Everybody
walks out On the first strike. Now.
what kind Of baseball is this? I
tell them that a man walks when
there are four balls on him and
that he don't walk out but he walks
to first base, but what do you think
they say! You mean it takes three
strikes to put man out? I say
sure, go up to the Yankee Stadium
and take look at Babe Ruth. But
they say that's impossible. Then
one of them said: but they got, as I
name of Sender Garlin-maybe you
heard of him-he was that bench
warmer for Minneapolis A. A. who
wanted more money and was canned
and became a movie extra and is
now trying to make a comeback
with us-he says When do they
start using the gas, rather clipper
like, as though he's boiling for such
a thing. I say gas, what do you
mean gas. I never heard of no gas
on the ball field He says you
mean they don't use no gas when
the men strike. I say gas you mean
the boss would love to have them all
gassed and shot when they start
striking. Oh, he says. excuse me,
I heard you mention masks. That's
swing a bat, too.
I'VE been practicing with them,
getting them ready for the big
game of the year, which is coming
off on Saturday, June 8, at Hook
Mountain, up the Hudson when the
Daily Worker Daylight and Moon
light Excursion takes place. This
will be some game. We are play
ing the Labor Sports Union con-
tingent, and I would like you to
come and see it. You'll certainly
learn a thing or two about how
they play baseball on the Daily
Worker.
The thing with my boys is that
they have native intelligence. This
helps them a lot They know that
a manager is to be obeyed and that
no ball player has the right to
think. At first they seemed to
think that this was an outrage, as
one of them salt; but they got, as I
say, aptitude, and now they listen
and don't say a word. don't stand
for no nonsense. The other day ST
Gerson he's my pitcher, said he's
gonna pitch spitballs. I said spit
balls, it's bad enough yoo're left
handler, what do you want to do,
ruin me; don't you know I have a
reputation at stake in this game
you're going to pitch as you're as
customed to pitch, and, If you say
word won't start YOU So he said
you're right, boss, Just as I should
have listened to you on the Nc
Larrlin-Ross fight when I was sure
McLarnin would knock him out;
I'm gonna pitch my well-known
orthodox fashion. But he says I
would have liked to use that spit
ball. I once knocked the crowned
heads of Europe out of their seats
while they was watching me use the
Spitball when I was touring the
other side with the Giants.

with the workers They broadcast the idea that
they we're considering granting some increases in
wages ito head off the strike under left wing
leadership
Fearing the temper of the men on the ships,
the shipowners have modified all their agencies
in frantic attempt to break the strike
The capitalist press is doing its bit. The New
York Herald Tribune, in attempt to minimize
the walkout, states that the Marine Strike Here
Fails to Disturb Port" This printed at time
when the entire New York waterfront was an
armed police camp and when patrolling - docks.
Leaders of the ISU, resorting to Francis j.
Germans language, announcing that their
agreement to call off the strike without winning
one single demand for the workers is tremendous
victory. At the same time these leaders are acting
as scab herders-shipping srikebreakers aboard the
struck vessels.

seamen in sympathy strike
Knowing the trckery of the A. F. of l.. leaders
the seamen should further strengthen their ship
committees and the longshoremen their dock COM
mittees. Spread the strike.
Workers in all trades, members of all unions
organized and unorganized workers-this fight is
your fight Join the seamen the picket lines
Pass resolutions in your local union supporting the
strike Contribute to the strike relief fund, Help
close the scao shipping halls
The longshoremen have been held back from
striking for their demands by Joseph P. Ryans
truce pact. But the truce" pact has nothing
for the dock workers Already longshoremen of
Local 8o8 have overrode Ryan's plans and have
struck in sympathy with the seamen.
Longshoremen Follow the example of the men
in Local 8os! Strike with the seamenl
Spread the maritime strike!

Then, there is the Seamens Church Institute
the business manager of which. Wesley Westerman,
has openly admitted that he will ship scabs and
lend vigorous hand to strkebreaking
The United Front Strike Committee facing these
difficulties and odds, but armed with the authority
of the thousands of who have signed the
strike pledge cards, is leading and spreading the
strike. Every ship struck. every action the
waterfront is compelling the shpowners to con-
slider the just demands of the seamen Further
actions will force them to grant concessions to the
seamen.
To the degree that the strike is spread-to that
degree will the demands of the maritime workers
be won. The one thing that the shipowners and
their agents, the leaders of the LSU and the
LILA fear, is that the strike will be spread. They
do not want to more ships striking. They do
not want to see the longshorennen join with the
