Babe Ruth stepped down from his
pedestal as the shadows of dusk began
to creep DER Griffith Stadium and the
1884 American League season yester-
day-stepped down as the New York
Yankees all-powerful threat and as
a regular player. He finished his last
season as he didn't want to finish
hitless.
Unless his tag is preceded by

Babe swinging bat in part-time roles
will not be thing Of by-gone days,
but as the right-felder of the Yankees
he was seen for the last time yester-
day by nearly 1000 fans, who also
watched the bedraggled Nationals cap
a disastrous season with a 5-to-3
victory over the New Yorks
The day was planned for Ruth. The
customers were present to bid him
farewell. A base ball fan named
Franklin D. Roosevelt was among

Britt and Coveln had boxed five

delegate would cost the local about
$85. When it was pointed out that
a delegate could go for SIS to $40,
she said that she must sleep in
hotels, ride in trains, etc.
When rank and file workers again
pointed out that the expenses could
be obtained from the members
themselves through the sale Of
stamps, ETC., the Chairman Of the
Local, Morris Rosen, a Socialist,
spoke, and told the workers not to
vote for the motion and that the
money could be used for coffee and
doughnuts for the unemployed. Fin
ally, the motion to send a delegate
from the local was defeated, but the
amendment instructed the Joint
Council to send delegates.
At this time, when there are over
1000 unemployed among the 5000
shoe workers, with shops threat
ening to move out, the problem Of
the unemployed becomes really
acute and threatens the very exis-
ence of the organization - at this
time the only solution the Socialist
Rosen has is either wage cuts or
coffee and doughnuts.

Shoe Workers

BY Shoe Worker Correspondent

BY a Shoe Worker Correspondent
BOSTON, Mass.-For over three
months the shoe manufacturers of
New England have carried on a
campaign to reduce wages and
smash the United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union. Particularly in
Haverhill, Lynn, and Boston the
manufacturers used all schemes to
split the ranks of the workers and
attempted to establish company
unions.
One of the worst demoralizing eff
fects of the campaign was and still
is the removal of shops into the
unorganized centers of Maine and
New Hampshire. Within the last
three months four shops were moved
from Boston, leaving out on the
streets 1900 shoe workers and their
families. The shops that did not
move out have either shut down
completely or operate very little.
At present, with the approach of
the shoe season, the Boston shoe
manufacturers made a concerted
move to rush through a Is per cent
reduction. This move was made
with the help of some of the weak
kneed officials of Boston, who are
for policy of peace with the bosses
even if the shoe workers have to
suffer reductions. After a prolonged
discussion, the Boston Joint Coun-
Gil decided to reject all demands
for wage cuts, and decided to call
mass meeting and let the workers
give their answer to the manufac-
turerS.
On Tuesday, Dec. 4, the mass
meeting of over 1000 Boston shoe
workers voiced their sentim t
against any cuts and proved that
the Boston shoe workers are mill
tant and ready to struggle if given
the proper leadership
Following the mass meeting, the
five locals met in special meetings
on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, and voted unanimously to re-
Ject all demands for wage cuts or
readjustments, and endorsed the
resolution in support of the congress
for unemployment insurance.

their seats. This also shows who
controls the court.
Attempt to Discredit Union
The whole trial is an attempt to
discredit the union here. The state
is continually trying to direct the
trial against the union instead of
against the individuals. The Bur-
lington (Scab) Times, a local COM
pany newspaper, stated that the
state is trying to establish the union
headquarters as the place where the
conspiracy" was Matched. The
judge has reminded the prosecutor
that it is not the union that is on
trial But the prosecutor goes on
asking every witness if he is a mem
Der of the union, as if that itself
were a crime. One defense witness
who was taking notes was attacked
by the prosecutor and asked if he
were Communist. He tried to
make it appear that worker did
not have the right to take notes on
the trial.
1t has been proven that the four
imported gun thugs got confessions
from witnesses while they were
drunk. These gunner took these
witnesses to a road camp where
they had whiskey and women in
abundance.
Intimidate Witnesses
One of the defendants testified
how the thugs held him and burnt
something under his nose that
made him feel dizzy and dopy
and then tried to make him talk.
They made him sign a paper that
he knew nothing about. They con-
tinually cursed at him.
The thugs have been keeping the
rat witnesses in the hotel with
them. They are all three no &C
count loafers who never worked be-
fore the strike, but since they have
done this stooling the Plaid Mill
has given them jobs. These rats
witnesses have told defense witnesses
who are working at the present time
that if they testify for the workers
they will lose their jobs.
All of these rats have been
proven to be bad characters, but
every defendant and defense wit
ness has been proven to be of good
character. There has been moth
ing except circumstanciaI evidence
against the seven defendants. They
have tried to single out as the man
responsible for the whole business
one of the most honest and sincere
union men in Burlington, John An
derson. Anderson was given eight
to ten years, and was referred to as
the Al Capone of Almanac County
The judge thought he was a paid
organizer of the United Textile
Workers Union, but Anderson is
only rank and file weaver who was
very active in building the union.
There is nothing too low and
dirty for this company to stoop to
in its attempts to stop our growing
unity. But we are not going to let
them break up our union even if
these workers are framed. The
trial is still on at present and its
trends are uncertain.
The Communist Party issued a
local leaf1et exposing the crooked
acts of the sheriff and the court.
More and more, we workers see how
correctly the Communists are fight
ing for the working class.

Breaking Smoking Habits

AA~DASo
HOMRADE P. j., of klamath Falls,
" writes -"Have seen several adj
vertisements on methods of quit
ting smoking, but would like to
know if they are successful. They
claim no drugs and no after eff
fects. Is this true? If these quacks
are not dependable, can you tell me
the best way to quit this habit?
What medicine to take? etc"
YOU write us for our opinion OF
l certain methods advertised to
cure smoking, also what medicines
to take in doing this. We cannot,
of course, pass on these methods
directly. since you do not give us
any details about them. I think
however, you will find your ques-
ton answered by what we are going
to say. Smoking in itself is not a
bad habit. 1t is not the nicotine or
other substances in the tobacco
that make the habit. The opposite
is true. We make tobacco smoking
a habit because it satisfies certain
cravings in us. In doing so, we blow
off steam and get rid of some "ner-
vousness," which, if allowed to pile
up would make us impatient and
restless 1t is really a good thing
that we should have a simple way
of doing this, especially in the pres
ence of the many stresses and diff
f1culties of our times. Medical
science has not proven that smok-
ing can injure the body and health
in serious way.
The trouble is that when a very
large amount of smoking is done
(say twenty to forty cigarettes or
a large number of cigars the taste
for food is lost and digestion is
somewhat hindered. So long as the
amount of tobacco does not produce
the bad mouth taste, rapid beating
of the heart, etc, there is no OBJ
lection to it. The other considera-
ton is that the sale of tobacco is
monopolized by large corporations
who combine to fix prices; prices
whcih the worker must pay and
which are too high for what he
earns.
From what has been said, you see
that the best that any method for
quitting smoking can do is to sub
stitute some other habit for the
smoking habit. Nothing is gained
by this especially if the smoking
gives proper satisfaction. The new
habit may not do as much. You
know the famous ad Reach for a
Lucky Instead of a Sweet" This
