THE MUKLUK TRAIL


 Marked progress toward recovery has been made in the past 24 hours by Delegate Anthony J. Dimond. Speedy return to his normal state of good health is forecast by the at tending physicians.
 That such statement would ever be issued appeared highly improb- able on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Then his condition was so gravely critical that even the most optimistic could not we'll expect his survival.
 Since it is not believed any de- tailed account of his illness has been given, and since all his Alaska friends will wish to learn the facts, short report of the circumstances is set forth here:
 On October 26, MT. Dirnond en- tered Providence Hospital, a local institution, and the following morn ing underwent an operation for re- pair of hernia. The operation was successful in all respects and by Thursday, November 9th, the Dele gate had so far recovered he expect ed to go home Saturday to complete the convalescence.
 But Friday found him with a tenn perature, and his condition grew steadily worse until it was discov- cred a condition of embolism exist ed. Stripped of medical nomncla- ture, there was a clot in the blood stream.
 A severe attack, which was all most fatal, occurred Monday morn- ing. But instead of stopping the heart or passing to the brain, the embolus lodged in a lung, where slow absorption could take place. Normally that would have meant danger was past. In this instance, however, another clot formed and the same risk was again present. Once more a painful attack set in and it ended to find the clot resting in the other lung.
 Fearful that this process might be repeated, and worried by MT. Dim ond's greatly weakened condition, the doctors declined to issue any reassuring statement until the after noon of November 14, when they gave it as 1their opinion he was out of danger. He made slow progress during the next day, but has stead- fly gained in strength since then.
 No small factor in his convalesc- ence has been the many messages received from Alaska.
 The Rev. E. A. Mcintosh, vicar of St. Timothy's Mission at Panama Crossing, is in Washington for few days after attending the Episcopal Church Conference at Atlantic City. Mr.McIntosh will go from here next week to the Mayo Clinic and then return to Seattle to spend the win-t ter with Mrs. Mcintosh and their daughter.
 Bartley Howard of Anchorage, who has been in Washington for nearly a year, plans to motor to San Francisco next week on a business trip. Mrs. Howard will remain in with her daughter, Mrs. Harold Sogn. MT. Sogn, who is al medical student at Columbia Univer sity, is in Washington for this week. end.

Look at the lineup of the
Cards. Frisch, of course, was OBJ
tanned from the Giants in trade
for Rogers HornSby. Durocher
came from Cincinnati, which has
been an active trader, and at
times not too exacting trader
with the Cardinals. But Pepper
Martin is farm product. So is
Duckie Medwick.
OrSatti a COrker
Ernie Orsatti, movie actor,
scenario writer and ball player, is
corker. And the Dean boys,
Dizzy and Daffy, come from
Houston, which is the class A
farm of the Cards. And, as said
before, the Texas League is one
of the fastest class A leagues in
the country. Down there, where
the range hands ride in on pay
day, they say it is the fastest
class A league in the country.
OF course, the farm interests
of the Cards do not end with
Columbus, Rochester and Hous-
ton. They go right down the
line, and with the baseball school
system fostered by the Cards, no
good player can escape. The boys
are called together for schooling
in the spring, and the boys are
graded as carefully as grapefruit
oranges are graded in fruit pack
ing houses.
Branch Hickey is the brains
behind the Cardinal farm system.
When Sam Breadon bought the
Cardinals he realized the futility
of trying to compete against the
bigger bank rolls and resources Of
teams like the Giants, Yankees
and Cubs. So the farm system
was started. The idea was re-
ceived with tolerance.

The Washington times., 1934-10-02


It was the day before the first
world series the town had ever
known in all of Is years, an oc-
casion so historic that business
was practically inert and the only
place where privacy was possible
was inside telephone booth.
Three hundred thousand peo-
pie, it was estimated, were roam
ing the town looking for tickets
for tomorrow's inaugural game
between the Tigers and the St.
Louis Cardinals. Long, patient
queues waited at the mutely
locked and silent windows. All
through the night and well into
the morning, a steady flow of
motor cars beat their way into
town from the upper Michigan
peninsula and the neighboring
States of Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio.

Keyed up like a concert violin

the Tigers and the dramatic. last

Perhaps the Cardinals will not be able to
keep up that pace in pennant making, but
under normal circumstances, there is every
reason to expect greater percentage of pen
nants out there than in other cities which
have not the source Of supply available to St.
Louis.
The Columbus team of the American Asso-
citation; the Rochester team in the Interna-
tional League and Houston in the Texas
League are three of the major farms of the
Cardinals. The first two named cities are in
the double A class. Houston is in the fastest
class A league in the country.
Right there you find so ball players Of
more than average ability. Go right down
the line and you will find that few ball players
are ready for the majors until they've had
two or three years in the minors. In ma

Immediately eliminated.
Another weakness in the con-
vention has been that at the con-
vention there was not one Negro
delegate out of the 1913 delegates
present. This shcrtcon1ing in not
bringing Negroes into the leader
ship of the union must be imme-
diately overcome and Negro work
ers must be brought into leading
positions on the strike committee
and the demands of the Negro
workers worked out more care
fully and in detail.
We must not depend on the gen.
eral strike slogan to bring about
this strike, but we must prepare
now and develop local struggles in
every mill and every factory where
the workers are organized, develop
ing now strike struggles, broadening
these strike struggles into a broader
and broader action. Concentrating
especially on the large plants in
the various districts and in the key
departments in these plants espe-
cislly.
We must point out the danger
here that in the demand for the
recognition Of the union, while it is
an important demand. the economic
demands Of the strike are Of great
importance. because the danger
here lies that the leadership Of the
A. F. of L, will bring forward the
demand for the recognition Of the
union and relegate into the back
ground the economic demands oil
the strike, as they did in the last
miners strike, and as they did in
the auto strike in Detroit, anc
worked themselves into a position
where they can betray the whole
strike.

The success of this strike depends
ON you!

Union will fight shoulder to
shoulder with you in these
struggles. Let nothing stand in

The reason the "red scare" is

because every agent Of the hnsses

NEW YORK.-A call for scsbs to
work in the striking Curtis Aero

been sent to all graduates of the
Roosevelt Aviation School, Mineola,

The announcement Of openings

knowing that this is a call for scabs,

Office at Mineola, to interview all
applicants and make selections for
the positions. Railroad fares from
New York to Buffalo would be paid

The Curtis plant announced to

the strike and open it's plants with
scabs on Friday. The plant has
been shut since March q, together
with the Consolidated Plant in Buff
falo, with over 1000 employees of
both plants conducting militant

membership. The convention went
on record for one industrial union
for the entire steel industry The
convention endorsed the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill III. R,
1899.
THE victory of the opposition del
1 egates at the convention is very
important and all credit is due to
those honest delegates who carried
through the wishes of a militant
rank and-file. They fought there to
put through program in the in
terest of the steel workers. How
ever, it must be pointed out that
had the opposition delegates cor
rectly organized their force S
and had met in caucus and estab-
lished for themselves clear line for
a clear program early in the con-
vention, they would have been able
to accomplish even much more than
what they did.
The delegates failed to understand
the true nature and character of
the Wagner-Connery Disputes Act
when they went ON record as in
favor of this act. they permitted
themselves to be tricked into q posi-
ton where they ieopardized the
whole fighting program which they
adopted for this bill is meant tc
illegalize any strike.
This must he overcome now by
campaign throughout the steel
industry, convincing the steel
workers as to the true nature of
this bill and all forms Of cam
pulsory arbitration now being
propagated by the employers and
government in Washington.
The rank and file members of
the Amalgamated in the lodges
must immediately take up the
work of carrying the program Of
offensive action adopted by the
convention into life. They should
Immediately begin the holding Of
mass meetings at all factory gates

It is not enough that the con-
