YANKS WIN Third
CANE IN ST.L0U
Gehrig, With 2 Homers,
Is Star of Suggest

ontin"ed from Pooe One
The decrepit Zachary, failed to bunch
them and therefore scored only three
runc.
LEU Gehrig was the heavy hitter
of the day, driving out homer on
each of his first two trips to the
plate, and helping the champions to
overcome an early lead piled up by
the St. Louis team, which was out
to do or die today. The crowd be-
gan to drift away in the late after
noon, convinced that the Yankees
will win the Worlds Championship
again, probably in four straight
games.
Thirty-nine thousand, six hundred
and two foolish fans paid S168,725
to see the teams perform, of which
S16,872.50 goes to the commission
ers, SOCIAL to the clubs and $91,150
to the players.
Score by innings:
New York o. 0 203 90 OF
st. Louis 200 010 90 0-3
1t looks very much as though it's
all over but the shouting, and that
will have to be done by the New
York fans. Waite Hoyt probably
will face the Cards in today's game,
and Bill Sherdel, although his de-
feat in the opener was a heart
breaker, is not likely to be any more
effective at Sportsman's Park when
he appears on the mound in the
fourth game. The odds tonight ia
vor the Yanks to win their second
successive series in four straight
games. Just lot more jack for the
owners, and lot more hokum for
the workers.

KRUSE TO TOUR
SOUTH ILLINOIS
Plans to Speak in Small
Mine Towns

CHICAGO, Ill.,, (By MaiD Will
liam F. Kruse, Workers (Commu-
nist) Party candidate for governor
of Illinois, has started a three
weeks tour of the southern mining
areas. Beginning in Springfield, he
will cover Gillespie, Bend, and Will
sonville. The latter is famed as an
call Scotch" town said to be i'm
pervious to any form of radical
ideas. However, when the Fishwick-
Lewis machine tried to put over the
"slave-pact" here they met with
overwhelming defeat, and now Com.
munism does not look nearly so bad
to these miners as it has been
painted.
Staunton and Livingston, where
in order to hold his meetings years
ago, Kruse had to contend with po-
lice and mob violence during the
wave of war hysteria Of February
and May, 1918, IRE also on the list
for meetings. Many former sup.
porters of the socialist party in this
district, where in 1920 the socialists
polled 25 per cent of the vote in
some wards, now openly call them
selves Communists. Other mining
centers to be visited by the Com
munist candidates include Auburn,
Taylorville, Nokomis, Zeigler, Roy
alton, Waller, Christopher, West
Frankfort, Johnson City, Carrier
Mills, Eldorado, Herrin.
The tour will be made by auto
mobile and many smaller mine
towns will also have meetings at
odd hours. Minnie Lurye, organizer
for the Young Workers League, will
also speak at all meetings. The
sub-district organizer, Bill Mathe-
son, will travel ahead of the speak

Textile workers who have been

but have not been able to pay dues

DETROIT FORMS
WORKERS RELIEF
Body Will Be Ready on
All Occasions

DETROIT, Mich. (By Mail) A
city-wide conference for the purpose
of launching a Detroit unit of the
workers International Relief" was
held here on Oct. 3. Twenty dele
gates, mostly from organizations
that did excellent work in collecting
funds for the recent miners relief
agitation, attended.
There have been several success
full relief conferences in Detroit in
times past, but they always lapsed
after the immediate occasion for
their formation subsidized. This time
the intention to create more per-
manent body that will be ready at
any time to meet any need for re-
lief in working class struggle, any
where in the United States or in
other countries, exists.
Williams F. Kruse addressed the
conference on the latest develop
ments of the New Bedford strike,
pointing out that all bourgeois re-
lief agencies had now dropped their
camouflage and were uniting with
the mill owners and police to force
the workers back into the mills I'M
der a wage-cut. The municipal and
righteousness aid which the str tx
ors had enjoyed to some extent was
being stopped, so the working class
relief organizations would have to
carry the whole burden until the
strike is won. He also described
the work of the Workers Interna
tional Relief in France, Germany
and elsewhere from personal ex-
perience.
After the report a discussion or
ways and means of raising strike
relief for the textile workers was
held and arrangements were put I'M
der way to send out contributions
lists, appeals, and to run motion
picture and a musical benefit show
An executive committee was elected,
and Tom Parry, who carried ON most
of the successful miners relief work
in Detroit, was chosen as w. |. R.
secretary.

in the silk mills.
Besides the price lists of wages,
an 8-hour day and 44-hour week
and recognition of the union is de-
manded of the employers associa-
ton. More than 10000 are expected

In an unsuccessful attempt to
weaken the tremendous sentiment
for the strike, the Broad Silk Manu-
facturers' Association yesterday is
sued statement saying that they
agree to the 8-hour day and 44-hour
week demand, but said nothing on
the question of union recognition.
This the workers ridiculed, saying
that theoretically, the bosses were
long supposed to obey the shorter
work day rule, but that, because no
union existed TO enforce this de-
mand, hours were heightened by
each boss individually. necessitating
the present strike action.
A leaflet issued yesterday by the
strike committee of so called upon
all workers in the silk mills to
maintain perfect solidarity in the
coming strike. "The strike must be
100 per scent successful" the leaf
let reads.
I'VE must have 100 per cent shop
organization of the workers. No in
dividual shop settlements will be
sanctioned before the strike. Join
the union. Organize to fight! Hold
shop meetings. Attend the mass

Canadian Political
Chief Sees Failure
of Kellogg 'Peace"

PARIS, Oct. THE Kellogg pact
to "out law" war is ineffective be-
cause it makes no adequate provi-
sions for doing so, and both the
United States and Britain will con-
tinue in their armament race be-
cause of lack of agreement on dis
armament, declared Senator Racul
Dandurand, government leader in
the Canadian senate, in an interview
here today.
Dadurand declared that the both
powers should not continue naval
competition when they have signed

out that the treaty provided no
means for clearing difficulties that
may easily lead to war between the
two powers.

HONDURAN union
TAKERS DECLARE
FOR NO REVOLT
Workers Restless as
Elections Come

TEGUCIGALPA. Honduras, Oct.
In an attempt to smother the un-
rest in Honduras as the elections
approach, and at the same time to
curb the rising resentment at the
intervention of the United States in
Honduras as we'll as in the neigh
boring country of Nicaragua, union
officials have addressed an appeal
to workers asking them not to re-
volt.
The manifesto follows: "Work-
men: Do not revolt under any cir
cumstances for we laborers gain
nothing by it and only cause the
ruin Of the country"
This plant of the officials is re-
ported to have been received unfav-
orably by the rank and file of the
unions. Hondurans are resentful at
the grip of the United States gov
eminent on the country, and when
marines invaded Honduras to CAP
ture some of Sandino's followers
they were greeted with a wave of
protest.
The elections, which will take
place October %, are for three gov
eminent candidates, Gen. Vicente
Tosta, provisional president from
April, 1924, to February, 1925; Gen.
Tiburcio Garias, former president of
congress; and DR.. Jose Maria Oshca
Velasquez, former vice president.

SOUTH AMERICAN.
OIL FINDS LEAD
TO LAND FIGHT
Bolivia Paraguay in
Critical Stage

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 7. - The
United States may be called upon
by the Paraguay government to
arbitrate the boundary dispute be-
tween Bolivia and Paraguay, which
has already resulted in the arrest of
Bolivian army officers found on the
disputed territory, and the resigna-
ton of the Bolivian minister to Para
quay. The land under dispute con-
tains recently discovered oil deposits.
Although Paraguay would submit
the case to the United States, ex-
pecting decision favorable to itself,
Bolivia would rather have the case
brought before the world court at
the Hague. The dispute is centered
about the constitutional" point of
the Interpretation of treaty COM
pleted in 1907, before oil was ever
thought of. But now feeling in fin
ancial circles runs high on both sides
of the frontier, and the army guards
patrolling the disputed strip are in
constant danger of being fired upon.
The reluctance of Bolivia to sub
nit the dispute to the United States
is traced to the unsatisfactory out
come of the Tacna-Arica boundary
dispute in which it had a great in
terest. Although both countries
have pledged themselves to avoid
war by treaty, it is reported that
one of the two countries has a secret
war treaty with another South
American republic.
The situation is considered critic
al due to the failure of negotiations
between the two countries and
strong reluctance on either side to
concede land which holds oil deposits.
Several treaties and proposed COM
promises have been drawn up but
neither government has ratified
them. The press is unusually aroused
over the matter, and abounds in
patriotic appeals and menacing
statements.

USSR INDUSTRY
GAINS STEADILY
August Sees Increase
in All Fields

According to cable reports re-
ceived by the Amtorg Trading Cor
poration, the foreign trade turn
over of the Soviet Union in August
overtopped the turnover in July, the
previous peak month of this year,
by per cent. The turnover of
157 100000 rubles (across European
frontiers only was 80 per cent in
excess of the figure for August
1927. Imports for the month totaled

than in July and 40 per cent over
the imports for August a year ago.
Exports in August amounted to g.
100000 rubles, slightly under the
July figure but 26 per cent greater
than exports for August 1927.
Oil production totaled 1921, 900
metric tons, 10 per cent more than
last year. Coal at 2,659,O0O tons, pig
iron 267,800 tons, and steel 337 400
tons registered gains over August
1927 of 9.5 per cent, 10.5 per cent
and II per cent respectively. The
output of cotton cloth amounted to
29,700,C00 meters, representing a
gain of 81 per cent over the preced-
ing month and 25 per cent over Au-
gust last year.
Grain procurements totaled 507,-
800 tons, more than five times the
procurements for July but consider
ably under last years figure. How
ever, in the last ten day of the
month more than half of the total
purchases were effected and it was
expected that during September the
total for the current campaign
would be brought up to last years

Tear Up L. T. w. Cards.
At both meetings, scores of old
members of the Textile Council, rose
and proclaimed their remuneration of
their organization, tore up their
membership cards demonstratively

in the adhesion of the British work

From these British workers the
masses of strikers were able to learn
of the details of the crude betrayal
engineered by Batty Summarized
they are as follows: After the first
vote taken by the Textile Council
showed majority voting against
the compromise of a five per cent
wage cut, the reactionary official
dom decided to hold a council meet
ing where the question of calling for
another vote was to be decided, on
the grounds that the first vote was
very close
The labor takers came from the
council meeting with unanimous
decision recommending to the men,
bership that the five per cent wage
cut be accepted. The stage was
then prepared by the Batty gang for
vote" Bristol Arena was hired
for Saturday. Batty and his bench
men got to the platform of the meet
ing and tried to announce to the as

of the Textile Council was howled

Fake Vote.
Only after long periods of demon
strative jeering was Batty permitted
five minutes to tell his story. Then
came the voting. The crudeness of
the whole sell out plan was then
seen. Henchmen of Batty and the
officialdom, those who had professed
themselves ready to go back to scab,
were handed four and five ballots
each. The ballots were made up of
a printed slip of paper with yes and
no printed on either side of a per-
foration. Batty's agents tore away

1t is reported that all unions will

Sante Fe is the second port on the
Parana river, which accommodates
ocean-going vessels from the At
lantic. Rosario, the second largest
port in Argentina, is located just
below Sante Fe. Buenos Aires, one
of the largest ports in South Amer
lea, is located below the juncture
of the Parana and the La Plata, on
the outlet to the sea. All these ports
handle chiefly the grain crop of the
Argentine.
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 7. - The
refusal of the Argentine government
to recognize the Soviet Union be-
cause of alleged propaganda" activ-
tiles and supposed relations to the
Third International, has awakened
a wave of jubilation in the conserva-
tive press, and a storm of protest
from workers organizations.
The conservative press this morn
ing complimented foreign minister
Angel Gallardo for his refusal to
have Soviet diplomats in Argentina,
contending that this would encour-
age radical workers, and give i'm
petus to the general strike move
ment that has swept Argentina for
the last year.
