Once more Ward, Michigan's YER
satile Negro, apparently bars In
diana's path to conference track and
field supremacy. AS a sophomore,
Michigan's husky Negro scored 10
points and enabled the Wolverines
to beat out Indiana, 6012 to 4712.
Last winter in the indoor meet Ward
captured three first places for IS
points and again Michigan finished
ahead of Indiana, 38 to SO.
Ward to Jump
Ward is entered in four events,
the 100-yard dash, 120-yard high
hurdles, high jump and broad Jump.
He is expected to win at least two
of those events; may win another
and in none is he expected to finish
worse than second.
Between them, Fuqua and Horn
hostel are counted on to score twen-
ty or more points. Fuqua, one Of
Americas fastest quarter milerS, is
favored to defend his title in the
220 and 440-yard daSheS, and is
likely to place in the 100-yard dash.
Hornbostel, holder of the unofficial
worlds record for the half-mile, is
counted on to defend his titles in
the half-mile and mile. Fuqua and
Hornbostel also will run on Indiana S
championship mile relay quartet.
Other Defenders
Preliminaries are scheduled to-
day in ten of the fifteen events, with
all finals tomorrow. A meeting Of
the Big Ten football coaches and
athletic directors was to be held to-
day prior to the track meet.
In addition to Fuqua, HornboStel
and Ward, four other defending
champions are entered. They are
Duane Purvis, Purdue'S all-America
football player and javelin thrower;
Chin Kimm, Illinois shot-put; Irv-
ing Sely, Illinois, pole-vault, and R.
BuSbee, Indiana, discus.
Illinois, Purdue and Ohio State
are ranked as the leading conten-
ders for third place. The other
teams, Northwestern, Chicago, Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Iowa, have
several individual stars, but are not
likely to score enough points to get
among the first five

Until 1881, had worked steadily
for over 81 years as a stenographer
and typist. In March, 1892, out of

ing eight months, Mr.. Huppert had
paid me only $40 instead of the S16O
which I should have received.
Being unable to secure the balance
of my salary, I was forced to quit
the job in disgust, and began to
search for means of recovering my
back wages. went to the Brooklyn

The Central Committee of the
Communist Party, in speaking of
the Farmers Emergency Relief Bill,
says: The Communist Party is 60
ing to throw all Of its energies be-
hind a mass campaign to populsrize
this bill and to organize the demand
for its passage"
If these words are carried out
in deeds, then the Central Commit
tee must check up on District
Eight (Chicago), lest the Districts
Resolution and Plan of Concen-
tration' be repeated.
When the Open Letter was
adopted. it was Immediately follow
ed by District Eight putting forth
a Resolution and Plan of Concen-
tration, in which it started with
these words: THE District Confer
ence of the Communist Party en-
dorseS and accepts the open Let
ter Of the Extraordinary National
Party Conference and in line with
the Open Letter calls upon every
Party Committee and the entire
membership of District Eight to ex-
anime its work carefully and critic
ally to reorganize and readjust its
entire life to carry into practice the
tasks of the Open Letter"
Search the Resolution on Con-
centration as you will, notwith-
standing all those beautiful words,
and you will not find single word
pertaining to carrying out some very
significant points raised in the Open
Letter.
The Open Letter devotes consid-
cradle space to carefully Analysing
the present conditions among the
farmers. 1t clearly points out what
the results will be if the Party fails
to make an alliance of the prole-
tariat with the poor farmers and
ruined middle class farmers under
he hegemony of the proletariat.

they will get fired. The same thing
happens to the countermen and
dishwa shers, and the only ones that
can hold job a little longer are
the stool-pigeons, as usual. And so
this strikebreaking agency is always
busy.
These workers are not organized.
They are victims of the organized
speed-up system instead. Daily they
are crushed and exploited by the
boss and the rotten employment
agency. Show them that you are
the only friend they have. Show
your class cooperation, your solidar-
ity.

Delegation

ALBANY, N. Y, July L. In a
leaflet distributed to the 300 strik-
ers of the Rotary Shirt Co., the
Communist Party of Albany called
upon he workers to elect a broad
rank and file strike committee to
lead the strike, giving daily reports
to the workers, the establishment
Of mass 24-hour picket lines, the
setting up of a relief committee and
the calling upon all able workers to
support the strike.
The strike is already on the road
to a sell-out. Mrs. Hillman of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
and Cohen, a representative of the
union, are already in conference
with the Regional Labor Board to
effect the usual sell-out of return
ing to work and Settling wage diff
ferences afterwards"
On the second day of the strike,
the Albany Relief Workers Union
through Fred Taylor, offered to as
sist the strikers in picketing the
shop and fighting for relief to the
strikers. Through this support and
with the militancy of the strikers
rs more workers joined the strike.
While on the picket line, Taylor
and three girl strikers were dubbed
and jailed. Mrs. Hillman, who had
previously threatened Taylor with
the police, through the pressure OF
the workers was forced to get Tay-
lor out of Jail. While in the police
station Taylor was black = lacked
into Inconsistencies and threatened
with his life if he did not leave
town.
At meeting of the strikers in
the Knights of Columbus Hall, Hill
man praised the police, knowing OF
the attack upon the picket line.
The Relief Workers Union is mo-
bilizing all workers for support OF
the strike and calling upon the
workers to protest against police
brutality. The International Labor
De1ense has taken steps to expose
the police, and warrants for crimi-
nal assault have been obtained
against the police responsible for
the attack. Attorney Arthur j.
Harvey of the Civil Liberties Union
has been retained as defense coun-
sci.
Taylor, who was twice kicked,
dubbed and beaten into uncon-
Sciousness while under arrest at the
Second Precinct police station, in a
statement to the Daily Worker,
called upon the workers of the Ro-
tary Shirt Co. to continue the strike
and to enlist the support of all

ANOTHER RAW DEAL TO
WORKERS

Vancouver, British Columbia.
Dear Comrade:
7 am enclosing the financial page
of the SUM-" Cancouver's daily
dope sheet, and 7 thought this pic
ture of Bill Green, the arbitrator
of the working class of this CONT
nent, in the leading role of selling
out the steel workers and boosting
up the falling prices of steel stock
was a good illustration of just how
useful he is to the workers, driving
them deeper in the mire while he
gives all possible aid to those whom
he represents, the steel and iron
barons and the industrial magnates
Of America.
Only by exposing such takers can
the workers organize to fight and
win.
Yours in the struggle,
