Other applications for settlements are com- ing in, according to the_reports of the strike committee. The Retail Cleaners’ and Tailors’ As- sociation at a mass meeting last week decided to accept the decision of the General Council tp refuse to give any work to any cleaner or dyer un- til the strike is settled. This action will greatly aid in compelling the bosses to come to immediate terms DIET instead of the Unemployment Insurance which ts demanded by the Communist Party in the election campaign, This phote shows line in New York City, Unemployed Relief Communist Demand (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) many lost their jobs since the N.R.A. | Went into effect and how many were given jobs, The response shows that for every worker who got work un- der the N-R.A,, from five to twenty lost their jobs. These 35 tests were carried on in all parts of New York City.” Returning to the position of the capitalist parties on unemployment relief, Minor quoted La Guardia, who said, “By proper and scientific ad- ministration, greater benefits can be given to the needy without greater appropriation.” This means, said Minor, “no increase in relief appro- priations, if La Guardia, the guardian of the bankers’ treasuries, can pre- vent it.” “Tammany, of course, has for elec- tion purposes temporarily delayed the cutting off of relief in the past few baeaee but this is only until after ection, when the starvation regime | will continue, In August, 11,592 heads of families were cut off from relief by Tammany, although it was ad- that more than 500 a day were and are applying for relief. In Septem- | ber the situation of the unemployed in New York City became still worse, A half million dollars less in relief was given out than in August, and nearly two and one half million dol- Jars less than September of last year. William Hodson, of ‘the Welfare Council, admits that this decrease in relief was due to ‘a falling off of available relief funds’ and not to decline in those needing relief.” “The Socialist Party,” Minor point- ed out,/tries to straddle, but has the same basic program of ‘economy first’ as Tammany and La Guardia, The Socialist Party is demanding 15 mil- lion dollars a month relief for the city, but when Norman Thomas made his plea for this entirely inadequate appropriation before the city hall on June 6, he asked only six million, The rest could come from the state and the R.F.C., Thomas said. The demand of the Communist Party for complete social insurance from the Federal Government, and for adequate unemployment relief, is brazenly stolen and used as a slogan by some of the capitalist parties, Minor revealed. He gave the example of Harlem, where there was, until a few months ago, only one Home Re- lief Bureau, until the fight of the Communist Party and the Unem- ployed Councils forced the installa- ‘tion of another office. Even now, in the section of Harlem where the Ne- groes live, there is no centrally lo- cated bureau and the Negro unem~- ployed are discriminated against in the giving of relief. “The winning of social insurance by the workers is a question of life or death, not only for the unem- ployed, but for the employed work- ers,” Minor declared with great em- phasis. “Of course, the federal gov- ernment is trying to pay as little in unemployment relief as possible, “The federal government, however, is vulnerable to the mass demands of the workers and their organized pres- sure for more relief and for federal social insurance. This is seen from the fact that every time the govern- ment delivers 100 million dollars or more as free gifts to corporations, it is forced to cover itself up by making inadequate concessions to the workers such as the bad quality salt pork now being distributed to make it appear that the federal govern- ment is not only the friend of the bankers, but of the working peorle. “The workers can enforce the mitted by the Home Relief Bureau; 1933 LSNR. Conference | Plans Nation-Wide Fight on Lynching. Historie Meet Adopts, | New Program, Issues | Manifesto NEW YORK.—Declaring that “the renewed murderous onslaught by the ruling class upon the Negro People calls for immediate and decisive ac- tion if a whole pation of 12,000,000 | is not to be trampled into the dust,” | the Emergency Conference of the National Committee of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, held in Harlem Sunday afternoon, mapped out a plan of action against the grow- ing persecution of the Negro masses under the NRA “New Deal.” The Conference decided to launch immediately a nation-wide campaign, centering for’ the immediate Period | around the exposure of the Maryland officials and other leaders of the Eastern Shore mob which lynched George Armwood, the economic con- ditions behind the lynching, and for the mobilization of the white and Negro masses against the approach- ing Scottsboro trials, set by the State of Alabama for Noy, 27 before the Ku Klux Klan Judge Callahan in the lynch-infested town of Decatur. The Conference adopted a new pro- gram for the L.S.N.R., based on the St. Louis, 1931, program, but concret- ized to present conditions of the sharpening terror against the Negro People.: It also officially adopted the Bill of Rights proposed by the L. 8. N. R. and taken to Washington by the §cottsboro Marchers. These documents will be released to the press within a few gays The Confererite was opened by Harry Haywood for the National Committee of the LS.N.R., with a statement of the purpose of the emergency confercnce and a brief history of the militant organization, Dr. Arnold B. Donawa of Harlem was elected chairman. “ William L. Patterson reported for the National Committee on the gen- eral situation of the Negro Peonle, and on the proposed program of the LS.N.R. In a historical analysis of the Negro question, Patterson char- acterized the contemporary Negro question as that of an oppressed na- tion fighting for freedom against American imperialism. He declared | that the unity of the Negro masses and white toilers in the fight against the common enemy was the very es- sence ef the L.S.N.R. program. Haywood reported for the Wavional Committee on the immediate tasks of the L.S.N.R.—in the building of @ mass organization as the spearhead in the fight against national oppres- sidén, lynch terror and’ job discrim- ination. He proposed that the cam- paign of exposure and demand for the punishment of the lynchers of George Armwood be carried out un- der the joint auspices of the LS.N.R. | and the International Labor Defense, He declared that the Liberator, the national organ of the L.S.N.R., must be improved and broadened out into a lively popular mass paper. The Conference decided to call a Regional Conference in Baltimore for | Nov. 18 and 19, to be combined with a mass public trial of the mob leaders and Maryland officials responsible for the murder of Armwoou, The Conference unanimously ac- cepted the proposals of the National Committee for the broadening and strengthening of the National Com- mittee, by the addition of new mem- | bers, the setting up of a resident 'ex- ecutive board and the e'ection of new national officsrs, The following offi- cers and Executive Board were elected: y President, Langston Hughes (unan- imous but awaiting acceptance), vice- presidents: James W.

Among the things ' which time on end made me stand back aghast were feats of | super-intellect which I so often saw being unfurled down on the gridiron. I don’t refer at the moment to physical accomplish- ments, I could understand them. mean the headwork. Yes, there was drama for you. Craftiness, cunning, sagacity, split- second thinking. Ability to diagnose the strategy of the other fellow on the spur of the» moment and devise impromptu ways and means of beat- ing him at his own game. When it came to using the old bean, the Phi Beta Kappa bows weren’t evon in the money with the toters of the pig- skin, Stuhldreher, quarterback par ex- cellence, generalissimo of those fam- ous “Four Horsemen” of Notre Dame and now head coach at Villanova, is only one case in point. Such super- human feats of gridiron intelligence as he displayed were just too un- canny, They were too weird, mys- terious, unearthly. They were beyond the realm of human possibility. Which, by the bye, is exactly what they were. Let's take this very Stuhidreher. It mattered not one whit how hot the excitement or how thick the bat- tle. He was always doing exactly the correct thing at any given moment. A game wasn’t two minutes old be- fore it became apparent to that small minority in the stands who knew what it was all about that he knew every major and minor weakness of each opponent and that he was shap- ing the strategy and tactics of his own club accordingly. Rockne once credited him with ability to “Read through another team’s strategy without a key to the code.” When, one Saturday afternoon in 1924, the Army ends were playing a smashing same against the Fighting Irish, Old Stud stood them on their heads by sending Crowley and Miller out wide around the Cadets’ flanks. On the other hand, when Princeton’s tackles and ends on the following week played an opposite type of game and went in straight, this clever head re- versed his tactics completely and sent Layden, Crowley and Miller straight ahead through the Tigers’ thinned-out line. Smart guy, huh? * 8 'UCH men simply weren’t in the same category as we frail mortals. At least so I thought until I began to get atound, But fourteen years of knocking about as a high school and college player and then as an assistant and later head coach soon taught me that there is no Santa Claus. It was a sad shock and a rude awakening when early in this career it suddenly dawned upon me that this sport of which I was so genuine- ly fond was packed to the brim with the slimy stench of stool pigeons and spies. Just another one of those things—tough but true. Oh no, that’s not what they're called in the “profession.” Imagine anything so coarse in the sedate and stately atmosphere of the collegiate world! The term “Scout” is so much more dignified and exalting. Co aren wi ee ee oircle of every football staff has | attached to it a squad of “‘trust- worthy” and competent football men who are the Pinkertons, and the Wil- liam J, Burnses of the aggregation. These palookas crawl about each week to watch future opponents in action and to bring back the details of their offensive and defensive styles of play, Every link in their rivals’ machine is analyzed and studied in @ search for weak spots. Accurate diagrams must be brought back of every play the team uses. The big shots in the Grade A cir- cuits even carry the thing to the extreme of assigning some scout to watch a single future rival in every game played prior to their own con- test. Preceding the Fordham-Alabama game last Saturday, for example, Earl Walsh, @ Fordham sleuth, had scouted Alabama in every game it Played this year, TRADE UNION DIRECTORY:..

Unless you're one of those simple souls who still believe in the Virgin Mary and miracles, you'll realize at a glance that the plays to be used by next Saturday’s opponents didn’t just drop onto the practice field out of the skies. eles 9: ALL reduces the game to such degenerate levels. One cold evening last season I dropped into the Col- umbia training quarters ‘at Baker Field to chisel some passes from an old pal. The squad had finished i: per and was huddled around a. black- board. At such a time they should logically have been discussing their own stuff, but instead they sat before diagrams of all of the plays and for- mations used by Syracuse University, whom they were playing the follow- ing Sunday afterncon. There was a grim seriousness about the coaches’ faces as they went about the task of detailing ways and means of counter- acting these. And mind you, these were full-grown and matured men taking themselves seriously, not chil- dren at play. Out at Purdue University this year all four backfield men in the start- ing lineup, Carter, Pardonner, Purvis and Hecker, are accomplished for- ward passers and- finished pass re- ceivers, To have one such on his team is enough to delight the heart of any coach in the business—and Purdue has four. Yet in their first three starts this quartet completed exactly one pass in twenty-two attempts, and in their fourth game against Wis-, consin last week they abandonec' passing entirely. They had beer scouted to the point where every pass: formation they use is understood to a “T” and as the receivers go out they are covered like hawks. ‘When Harvard dropped a 10-7 de- cision to Holy Cross two weeks ago, the sporting gentlemen of the press marvelled that a major outfit like Harvard should have so little stuff under its belt, for all afternoon they showed nothing except straight foot- ball. As a matter of fact, they had Plenty hidden away in their bag of tricks, fear not about that, But at the moment Harvard was pointing for its forty-eight-year-old football classic against Dartmouth the follow- ing week. Eddie Casey, Harvard's head coach, didnt drop off the Christmas tree either last month or last year, and he knew full well that Dartmouth’s scouts swarmed the stands like wasps. He couldn’t afford to permit his team to trot out the stuff they had up their sleeves which, had it been only a case of team against team, might have enabled them’to take the boys from Worcester over the jumps, Perhaps this is all a legitimate part | of the game and ought to be ac- cepted as such without any wailing. Maybe it enhances-true sportsman: ship and enables a team to put into each contest everything it’s got. Per- chance it enables the players to meet each other on their own mettle and fosters a spirit of true competition of skill and wits.
