 The gilded horse head Of the "Boucherie Chevaline" glitter every where in the poorer districts. AL though many rich families indulge a diet Of horse meat now and then. Yet work horses of France are rarely neglected. They are all well curried and we'll fed and there are few not decorated with gay ribbons and tinkling bells. What we used to know in America before the motor age as "Giddap" is here a long drawn out "Whee-jeee," Sturdy describes the French horses-especi- ally the innumerable dapple grays. It strikes me as absurd false mod esty to withhold news that those circular havens dotting the edge of Paris sidewalks have received a bright and dazzling coat of fresh 1 paint.

Paris. July 5-Paris is the hiding place of professional criminals from all over the world and yet it is one ot the best policed cities. Its espion- age system with every concierge q police spy makes d criminals escape from Paris well nigh an impossl- bllity.
 In face Of all this its laxity in con trolling the perverted rascals who dog the footsteps Of foreigners especially Americans-to sell ob scene art and act as cicerones for peep shows offers one Of the cjty's most unusual complexities. A strict law against such ovcrtures is ap- parently ignored.
 Along the portiCos Of the rue Gc Rivoli. around the express company offices and other places where for eigners are numerous, the sinking yultures are as thick as flies around treacle. They pop out to solicit lone V nomen as well as men with DOT nographic post cards and lascivious suggestions.
 Most of them are Greeks, Armen- iens. Argentines, and Turks. A very slim number are French. They are without exceptions dope sellers and agent provocateurs for the satined and mirrored brothels. The most ghastly murders of innocent strang- CTS are the result of initial contacts with these roaming libertines
 Every now and then a maimed and bloated body is found floating in the Seine. In innumerable instances the police reports show "the victim vas last seen talking to a stranger near the Continental Hotel" From then on the trail is lost in the hid den labyrinths of the underworld.
 This morning as an experiment l walked leisurely along the rue de Rivoli from the Place de la Concorde that possible half mile five different and skulking whisperers sidled up with their insinuations. Naturally insulting them is impossible. They merely shrug and vanish. And ] wonder why they invariably wear black hats?

fascist and social fascist leadership of the
American Federation of Labor are trying to
militarize the working class in order to pre-
pare for the next world war, particularly war
against the Soviet Union.
The recent manifesto of the Second Inter

Wet Union to re-establish the bosses rule in
place of the Sovets, is an open act of war
against the Soviet Union. This role of the

THE Fish Committee is flaming sign of the

On thu one hand, the agent of the Roman

(5) All affiliated National Unions and Ma
tional Industrial Leagues, and TUUL groups,
are called upon to mobilize the broadcast
masses of workers on the basis of anti-war
committees within the mills, mines and fac
tories.
(6) The basis of the entire campaign
within the shops must be conducted on a
united front from below of workers and work
ers' organizations. Special effort must be
made to link up the struggle against unem-
ployment and to organize into this campaign
unemployed and employed workers in industry.
90 All affiliated organizations must i'm
mediately call membership meetings and elect
delegates to participate in the conferences
called by the Communist Party to prepare
for August 1st anti-war demonstrations.
(8) The slogan--from the factories to the
demonstration-must be made into a living
reality and must be practically connected with
the $4,000 membership drive of the TUUL
and the building up of the official organ, the
Labor Unity. This must become the center of
our practical activity for the building up of
mighty protest demonstration against the
capitalist war preparations
90 The final summing up of the election
campaign for the V Congress of the RILU
must be utilized to explain to the American
workers the role of the RILU in the struggle

THREE small items of recent date help to
characterize the present economic situation.
One Sawdust was quoted in Chicago on
June IS at higher price than rye. bag
of forty pounds of sawdust sold on that date
for 70 cents, that is q cents pound. On
the same day, rye was quoted at 49A cents
for bag of fifty-six pounds or less than
$40 cents pound.
Speaking of Sawdust.
The paper did not report whether the I'M
employed and part time workers are begin
ming to eat sawdust instead of rye, but clearly
they will soon be compelled to do so. 1t also
did not state what the poor farmer is to do
who has to sell grains at lower price than
the cost of production But this also is clear;
he will have to abandon his farm as hundreds
of thousands of other poor farmers are doing,
go to the city--and increase the number of
prospective consumers of sawdust
About Robins
Two: A robin deposited her eggs in a nest

nest and notified the superintendent of the

lowing order. Under no circumstances is that

the other cars on the same track, but first
and last keep that car stationary until the
eggs are not only Matched, but until the robins
can fly.
At last report the car was on the siding
nearly month.
Consideration-But Not For Workers.
Babies may starve, fathers and mothers may
beg for work. In despair they may be forced
to steal There is no such consideration from
bosses for workers as for the robn-except to
send them to "home" where they too will
not be disturbed. We wonder whether the
section hands and railroad watchmen get the
consideration that this robin received! Pull
man porters surely do not. Perhaps they are
eating sawlust.

n YEW YORK, September ~
I'M Among those who did not burst
into cheering when the st.
Louis Cardinals clinched the
National League pennant were the
members of the Philadelphia Athletics.
victors in the American League and
world champions in 1929.
Some players of the Philadelphia club
already have been heard moaning be-
cause they feel the st. Louis ball field
is too small to accommodate world
series crowds and won't ring the cash
register loud enough. But more Of the
AS are disappointed because they will
have to battle the onrushing Cardinals
instead of the crippled Chicago Cubs.
ST. Louis in the world series starting
Wednesday will be a puzz1ing team to
the Athletics. because the Cardinals are
quite unlike any team in the American
League. The Athletics had hoped that
Chicago would oppose them. and the
Cubs had hoped the same thing. The
Athletics wished to play the Cubs be-
beating them and the Cubs wished to
play the AS because they thought they
were a better team and lost the world
series of 1929 more by i'll luck than by
bad ball playing.
Now the st. Louis team enters the
field and the Athletics, instead Of meet
ing the wearied Cub pitchers, realize
they must face the formidable group
composed of Grimes, Rhem, HaNahan,
Lindsey, Bell, Johnson, Grabowski and
Haines. This is a new layout and calls
for different kind of game than the
AS might have played against Chicago.
When the fans are making up their
minds as To their favorite team in this
world series they must keep the fore
going fact in mind. Philadelphia Is not
to play the team that 1t haG counted
upon as the National League champions,
and the change came very late in the
season.
The infield work of the Cardinals in
this world series should be better than
that of the Cubs last year. and for that
reason the Athletics must expect to
have a harder task on their hands TO
hit the ball through to safety.
Frisch and Colbert are q better pair
than English and Hornsby, and as pairs
go this year they are the strongest in
field combination that the Athletics
have played against any time this year.
They are superior to Myer an6 Cronin
of Washington. Melillo and Kress of st.
Louis, Gehringer and Akers of Detroit
in fact, any infield combination in the
United States The pair rating next to
them are Jackson and Critz of the
Giants.
Sparky Adams Is a good infielder If
he were a foot taller he would be an
ideal third baseman. For his inches he
plays well. Andy High is a good utility
man back of him, although High also
lacks height The IDEAL third baseman
is a swift six-footer The taller they
grow the more likely they are to choke
