Cologne suburb of Bransfeld. while lead
ing a Communist bill-posting squad,
which. according to the police, was
about to engage in illegal activities"
The police as yet are unable to asCer-
tain whether Holmes is a member OF
the German Communist party.
Meanwhile the Communists. obviously
cor electoral purposes, have been egging
on the so-called Illegal strike of the
Berlin transport workers. This strike
began yesterday under combined Ma
tional Socialist and Communist leader
ship-both parties seeking election
propaganda.
Today the Nazis stopped their official
support of the walkout when the official
labor arbiter decided that the transport
workers must accept a diminution OF
their wages by 12-cent an hour each.
Despite the general inconvenience to
the vast mass of BerlinerS unable 10
afford taXicabS. it must be admitted
that there is great sympathy for the
strikers throughout the population. The
Communists, in the last two months
since Chancellor Franz Won Papen
granted the traction owners the right to
reduce wages, have acquired considera-
bic popularity by staging local strikes
