LABOR STRIKES ARE
GRADUALLY SPREAD
ING OVER GERMANY

Observation-Disclosures reports
on the growing restlessness and resis-
tance OF the working masses of Ger
many are borne out by a number Of
strikes that have occurred in the in
dustrial centers of Germany. These
strikes, it must be said at the outset,
have no political significance. but are
simply concerned with wages and work.
ing conditions. As such, however, they
are OF even greater significance since
they indicate clearly the desire OF the
German workers to free themselves
and their organizations from official
control and the letters of Fascism.
In Germany's industrial center, the
Rurh district, many arrests have taken
place following sporadic labor struggles
in Dinslaken, Walsum and Friedrichs-
wald, Many of those arrested are Nazi
storm troopers who belong to the left
wing opposition. The workers in Sec
tion Brunnenstrasse, Berlin, of the
A. f. G., Germany's leading electrical
concern, recently resorted to passive
resistance as a protest against the nu-
merous contributions exacted from
them. Numerous workers were ar
rested, among them the former leaders
OF the powerful German Metal Work
ers' Union, dissolved by the Hitler re-
gime. The authorities and the man
agement we're forced to comply with
the wishes Of the workers.
T.. A. NJ G tt Mo- Mall. -
Stuttgart 5000 workers successfully
struck against the introduction Of piece
work and the p%rolongation OF working
hours. At the Wanderer Motor Works
in Chemnitz, more than 5000 workers
participated in a strike movement which
is remarkable chiefly for the efforts Of
the government to conceal or distort it.
German radio and press denials were
undoubtedly correct as far as the tech
meal application of the word strike
goes. The workers did not walk out,
nor did they hold any mass meetings
as usual in strike disturbances. In
stead, they reported to their work but
r~esorted to a general stoppage, thus
effectively stopping all production. The
method was quite successful as shown
by the action of the labor trustee can
ceiling all contemplated wage cuts.
Stoppage seems to be the new method
that German labor has chosen to fight
!. its battles. The workers are aware of
/. the fact that strikes are forbidden IN
. der penalty Of treason. They are fur
! thermore unable to organize properly
. and are therefore forced to adopt a
/ method which needs no lengthy prep
! %arations, and is easily followed by all
workers concerned. In some cases,
however, the workers have not been
successful. Two hundred girls working
in a factory belonging to the Reemtsma
Tobacco Trust who adopted the same
tactics against wage u were imme-
diately fired and replaced by unem-
J ployed.

Huey Labor Enemy
Says Louisiana
Labor Leader

NEW ORLEANS. OPP Senator
Huey P. Long is the common enemy
of organized labor in Louisiana.
So Second Vice-President George E.
Wallace of the Louisiana State Fede-
ration OF Labor wrote in an open letter
addressed to Pres. +. H. Williams of
the federation stating that the fedora
ton "has a wonderful opportunity at
the coming election in January to rem
der a real service TO the state" Wal
lace asked Williams to state whether
he could Support such a program as
sponsored by this despot."
A unionist for % years, Wallace was
president OF the Alexandria Central
Labor Union for IS years.
Under Long, asserted Wallace
wages in the state have declined, hours
have been heightened, and the condi-
ton OF the workers has grown steadily
worse. Behind his sweet words about
sharing the wealth is a ruthless anti
labor program.
During his regime" Wallace con
tinued, mot a single Measure of a So
cial character has passed, and there
are many worthwhile bills too numer-
GUS TO mention which have died in the
legislature.
"True, as a member of the U. S.
Senate, Long votes for everything la
Dor sponsors, but he fails to take care
Of those same people in his own state.
He has starved the unemployed even
more savagely than any other state in
the Union. Not once has the issue OF
unemployment relief come up in his
state legislature"
Wallace then made the following an
ti-labor indictments against Long
l.. Under his administration, workers
on construction jobs were paid far be-
low the prevailing wage scale, and the
bridges and highways Of which he
boasts are monuments of labor peon-
age.
2. AS governor, he told a labor dele
cation that he didn't care to get
messed up" in the New Orleans street
car strike, and he never lifted a fin
ger on behalf OF longshoremen in
their various strikes.
3. He prevented passage Of a state
law giving labor the right to organize
and bargain collectively.
4. His legislature defeated the g.
hour bill for women.
5. His legislature defeated the child
labor amendment and sidetracked the
full-crew train bill.
6. His governor vetoed a bill prohib-
iting sale of prison-made goods in COM
petition with free labor.
7. He has never condemned the &C
tivities Of the fur companies, nor at
tempted to rescind their leases, despite
the fact that "trappers who formerly
earned as high as $1,000 to $500 a year
are lucky to earn 5000 to $500 a year
now"

THE
REFERENDUM

No citizen of Montana who is fully
informed of the benefits, financially
and morally, that will accrue under the
new state insurance law, could possibly
sign the referendum petition attack
ing this law. When we speak of citi-
zens we mean those who do not sell
fire insurance and those who do not
have relatives who sell fire insurance
and those who are not petty public Of
@ficials and politicians who obtain money
and assistance from the fire insurance
set up in this state.
The new law will save approximately
$4,000 a year in premiums and afford
greater protection than under the old
system. In II years a fund will be
created large enough to forever END
the payment of fire insurance premi-
ums.
Already the state has reinsured the
fund against all losses for approxima-
tely two-thirds Of the old premiums
paid by the state for fire insurance
protection alone.
1t is easy to see why this law save.
the state money. The local agent re-
ceives about 40 per cent premium for
writing the policy. All OF this com
mission goes TO the state under the new
setup.
But the most permanent benefits, the
greater benefits will be to stamp out
the petty gangster politics that the fire
insurance business has erected in schoo'
boards, in counties and cities.
After all we will never advance fal
as a nation until we abolish the petty
graft and dishonesty of public official:
and demand Of all public servants rigiC
adherence to honesty and loyalty to al
the people.

A man may invent a mouse trap, but
if he does not place a Union Label on
it, the Workers should pass his door.
Montana labor news., 1935-08-29
UNION LABOR'S
BEST PROTECTION

The best protection Labor Unionists
can give to their brother workers is to
buy exclusively from those firms which
display the Union Label, Shop Card
or Button. 1t is the greatest assur-
ance OF high wages, shorter hours and
better working conditions.
When workers p%atronize only I'm
ion shops and business places, they not
only protect their own pay envelopes
against wage cuts and longer hours,
lbut they also definitely eliminate child
labor, sweat shops, chiselers, as well
as convict and foreign made goods.
Collective Buying is necessarily the
partner OF Collective Bargaining. When
workers fully realize that these pow
erful weapons must be used together,
then and only then will the influence
OF Labor Unions reach its greatest
power.
Since the United States Supreme
Court has declared the National Re-
covery Act unconstitutional, the labor
PROVISIONS VI tnC NOdSo dlN Ho iOlBcA
in force. With the elimination of this
temporary protection for labor. it is
now all the more necessary that work
ers obtain Labor Union agreements,
in order to secure better wages, hours
and working conditions. 1t is likewise
more important than ever that they
promote the Union Label, which stands
alone in the label field, since the Blue
Eagle of the MIRA. has been, tenn
porarily at least, discontinued.
Protect yourself and those dear tc
you, and all Unionized workers and
their families by buying goods and
services which display the Union La
bel, Shop Card or Button.

RUDOLPH PICKED.
 TO RETAIN. TITLE. FROM JIM CARAS
Meets Jimmy Caras Toe night in Deciding Clash
 of Pool Tourney

New York, Dec. 21.-(UP).-Ed- win Rudolph, four times former champion, is favored to capture his fifth world pocket billiard title to- night when he meets Jimmy Caras, 25-year-old Wilmington, Del, star.
 Everything favors the Cleveland veteran, who has two chances to win the title against one for Caras.
 If Rudolph wins tonight he will clinch the championship with eight vic.ors and one defeat. Should Cayas triumph, playo6 will be held tomorrow night. Jimn1y's chances of scoring two straight triumphS are slender.
 Rudolph kept his grip on first place last night by defeating George Kelly, Philadelphia, 125 to 35 in 27 innings. Defeat dropped Kelly into tie for third place and that pc sition will be contested this after noon when Kelly meets Willie Mos- conf, Philadelphia.
 The standings-all final after fourth place, with total points scored during the nine games of the tournament determining positions in cases where there were ties in games won and lost:

EACLES-REDS
 MEET SUNDAY
Strong Can-Amer Clubs on Arena Ice RamblerS N Still Tops League

New Ravens star-spangled Ea- gles. just point out of third place in the Canadian-American Hockey League may be much nearer the top by midnight Sunday for the Providence Reds, trailing the Phil- ly Ramblers have the leaders to contend with tonight and then take on the Eagles Sunday night at the New Haven Arena. A loss for the Red tonight and again on Sunday will put the rejuvenated Eagles right back in the running, in which they were slowed down by injuries.
 The four-place New Haven Ea- gles and the tail-end Boston Cubs played to a 1-1 overtime tie in the Can-Am Hockey League game scheduled Thursday. The game, played at Boston, was dull, the Cubs showing the effects of their bruising game with Philadelphia the night before.
 The Jackson clan monopolized the spotlight in the contest, Red Jackson giving the Cubs a tempo rary lead with first period goal, Roy Jackson scoring in the third period to tie the count for the Eagles, and Percy Jackson shining in the Cub goal. The Eagles are now only one point out of third place tie.

 The tournament, which offers $5,- 900 in prize money, ends tomorrow with the final IS of the 72-hold round.
 Creavy stormed over the par 68 layout on yesterdays initial 18 holes in 65 for a new course record to lead the field by two strokes. Creavy played sensational golf, going out in 33 and coming home in 34, the lat ter two strokes below orthodox fig- ures.
 The Albany professionals round will stan das new record. AL though Joe TurneSa last year shot a 62, in doing so he resorted to win- ter rules.

The Wax on the Alleys

The Wax on the Alleys
 It seems that Jasper" Devine's best laid plans must have gone wrong from the looks of the scores. Driscoll's Avalanche took three games from "Jasper" and showed him right into sole possession of the cellar. MT Average bowling 87 helped the Avalanche hit 576 in the last game.
 Dunphy's tired business mans team got up enough energy to take two games from Fitzy. If Sid's team ever gets around all rested up it will be too bad for the opposition.
 Hardy moved himself out of the cellar by taking two from w. Car roll. Himself" Hardy hit single game of 155 and three total of 377.
 Higgiston took a better hold on second when his team took three games from Rev. Wirkus.
 When Eddie Bread Snatcher" Loftus saw Butch" DeVito and "45" Ryan hitting scores that look ed like temperatures in the Gobi Desert he had to help, with the result the boys got 577 sticks in one game. And of course, Bread Snatcher" came back with a bril- liant 82 to play Santa Claus to MT. Barrett. You know, Eddie once laid the slices of two loaveS of bread end to end, and found that they reached half way from here to there. He then tried to put the slices back in the wrapper and found he had too many. Where did the others come from, Bread Snatcher", En-? See you at Johnny Whites.

COACHES IN TALK
 ON.BASKETBALL
Schofield, Lee Open Train- ing Period at Local
 YMCA

The first in a series of basketball training periods for coaches and captains of the grammar school basketball teams of the central Y. M. c. A. league was held yesterday afternoon at the central Y. M. C.. A. at 4:15 o'clock.
 William Schofield, basketball and football coach at Crosby high school and James Lee, athletic director of Wilby high school, were present to explain some of the fundamentals of the game. The purpose of this meeting was an effort to teach the youngsters more clearly the funda- mentals of the cage game and to make them better able to partici- pate in high school athletics.
 Stressing balance in his talk to the boys, William Schofleld said that without 1t a player is worth less. He cited for example, famous boxing and football stars who used balance to great advantage. Scho- field also demonstrated the funda- mentals of shooting foul and field goals, and explained the methods of coaching used by many men.
 James Lee laid much emphasis on the possession of the ball, and stated that it was the main point of any basketball game. He felt that any team having possession of the ball for more than one half of the scheduled time would un- doubtedly win the games. Using one of the boys present at the meeting as an opposing player, he demon- strated the best techniques used in blocking and passing.
 The next meeting of this group will be held January 3, at which time Lee and Schofield will go more into detail regarding certain of the above points.

M'AVOY PROVES GREAT FIGHTER
 IN SECOND BOUT
Hailed as Best EngIishman Since Freddy Welsh in
 Win Over RiskO
By HENRY SUPER


 Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Dec. 21.-(UP)-The greatest English fighter since the days of Freddie Welsh and ascinch to win the light-heavyweight crown when he gets a crack at Champion John Henry Lewis. That's what cauliflower alley had to say today about Joseph Hamford McAvoy of Burnley, Lancashire known to the f1stic trade as "Jock." Came Unheralded
 McAvoy, fighting since he was 16 years old, came to these shores last month-unheralded as a fighter and believed by most boxing experts to be another typical English battler, one along the lines of Horizontal Phil Scott.
 In his first scrap McAvoy was fairly impressive as he pounded out 8 10-round decision over Al Mccoy of Boston, who entered the ring a Al favorite.
 New McAvoy Seen
 Last night, however, 8 new Me- AtOy W0O P4OAOCCN-6 AA1AA WAAO floored Middleweight Champion Ed die Babe Risko of Syracuse six times and then smashed him down for 10 with a short hard right to the chin, all in one round.
 Thus the man who holds both the middleweight and light-heavy- weight championships of Great Bri- tain cinched title bout with Lewis, probably in January or February.
 In those two fights McAvoy showed he has more than enough guns to whip Lewis-a punch, first class boxing and the ability to take it.
 His punch was put on display in America for the first time last night in Madison Square Garden in a non-title scrap. However, if he wins the nght-heavyweight crown Mo- Avoy may take of some weight and go after Risko's title next spring.
 McAvoy's first blow of the battle, a stiff right, sen tRisko to the floor for the count of one-the second time Eddie had been hoored in his long career. Five moye times the battering Briton swarmed over his man and crashed him to the deck for counts ranging from five to eight.
 The last time Risko rose he was groggy and bounced of the ropes into the middle of the ring, where a short right put him down for the final count-2 minutes, 48 seconds after the scrap began. It was the first time Risko had been counted out.
 More Impressive
 McAvoy was far more impressive in last nights melee, slated for 10 rounds, than when he defeated Me- Coy, @ light heavyweight. He had Mccoy on the floor in that fight but he wasn't hitting with the de- termined deadliness that marked his execution last night. It was for tunate for Risko that he had re- fused to make the encounter a title affair-as McAvoy desired.
 Because of Risko's refusal, 1t was an over-the-weight match, with Mc- Avoy, at 168 1-2, enjoying distinct pull over Risko's 161 3-4. Risko landed only one solid blow-a wild left hook to McAvoy's jaw after the champion had risen from the second mockdown.

BROOKLYN A. (. IN
 ACTION TONIGHT

Trotting out his Brooklyn A. c. outfit on 8 local court for the second time in as many weeks, Manager Butch" Devito has booked his boys for basket party at St. Joseph's auditorium to- night, the opposition being the Jeffersonian Club of East Haven, reputed to be able to give the B. A. c. the hardest kind of 8 Strug- gle on their home court. Brooklyn dropped a two point nod at Hope vile last week in 8 hoop thriller, but intends to more than make up for such a start tonight.
 Joe 'Swasey. Dom Spadola, Jimmy Crichton, Willie Barron, Frankie DiBiase and Joe Boley will make up the Brooklyn squad with a large crowd of local hoop fans sure to be on hand for the neighborhood inaugural. A preliminary game, featuring the St. Joseph Alumnae girls will go on at 7:3O o'clock.

Crean Of Connecticut BouDling Talent h Waterbury 7oay
St. Patrick's Bowling League Topics

Otto Herman the lumber sales man dashed in from Watertown and got enough pins in two games to build a house, namely, 119 and 120. That's hitting them as far as, Otto is concerned. Never mind the other game.
 It was a pleasure to see Patsy Garvey's personal chauffeur back again. The genial Bill Keller is back to drive wood of the alley af- ter an absence of four weeks. All Bill does is drive, if not Garvey then brass for 8 local O., and if not them, then pins. Always driving and smiling, that's Bill.
 Tom Kearney the bowling mail- man cannot feel the rush when he can come around and knock down 125 pins in one session.
 Did you know that speaking with averages the high team is 27 pins better than the low team. The rest of the teams are punched together with about seven pins difference. The high team is Driscoll, the low one is Hardy. Second and third be- long to Carroll and Dunphy. Figure it out yourself and see.
 Be around early next week, boys. The St. Joseph alleys are donating a turkey to some lucky bowler in the league. You must bowl that night to be in line. So step up boys and let's not have Average do all the work. Scores will not count. We have another system and it's any, body's bird. "Bfead Snatcher" Lof- tus may donate a loaf of his favor ite delicacy. Let's not miss it. Note to Joe my boy" Hench. No, he does not write this column, Ted Bares does; and is he good?
 May we take this opportunity of extending the greetings and felici- tations of the season to the bowlers, alley management, and newspapers. A Merry Christmas to you all.
