Perhaps Arthur was boasting but

there probably is an out" for him

world series, seemed destined to be-

Polly Is Boss Now

nNE year when Polly McLarry,
~ former Louisville pastimer, was
playing in the Southern Associa-
ton, he was especially ill-tempered
and took it out on the umpires.
The umpires, however, kept fning
him and at the end of the season
he was short $675 in salary as a
result Of popping off" That sum
was taken away from him in fines.
Now McLarry is an umpire him
self in the same circuit and his
playing days are over. In his first
week as an arbiter, Polly chased
three players, two of them manag-
ers. Perhaps the veteran is going
on the theory it is easier to hand
out fines and laugh than to re-
ceive them and moan.

D IE 7 ELECTION
Terrorize City for
Days, Prevent All
Opposition

WARSAW, Poland, May 29-The
Nazis won a majority in the Danzig
elections held there yesterday. With
the aid Of the Young German Party
they control 81 per cent of the Dan
zig Diet deputies.
Their gains were made at the ex-
pense Of the Nationalist, the middle
class parties and the Socialists, with
the latter losing 30 per cent of their
seats. The Communists held their
own despite the most intense Nazi
terror, with all meetings forbidden
and armed SSsaxm troopers patrolling
the streets for days before the cleo
ton
The Polish government is ex-
tremely alarmed over the Nazi gains,
as this presages a new Nazi move
for remuneration of the Free City to
the Reich. The Poles charge that
1900 storm troopers have been sent
to Danzig from the Reich to take
over the city. The head of the Dan
zig Nazis has left for Berlin by plane
to confer with Hitler regarding fut-
IRE Nazi plans in Danzig.

TOKYO, Japan.-Seventeen mem
bers of the Japanese Red Aid, sister
organization Of the International La

by the Intelligence Service Of the
Tokyo police, according to the Tokyo
newspaper "Asahi".
Among those arrested were the
workers defense leaders Toshiichi
Matzuda, Toshizumi Seike, Torah
Tateishi, Kisaburo Yamamoto, Yuko
Atzuda and Tzutomu Katsoka.
All were charged with strength
ening the Communist Party in
Japan"
Seike and Tateishi were released,
but as soon as they commenced de-
Tense activity for those remaining in
jail they were re-arrested.
The basis for the charges against
the organizations leaders, according
to the "Asahi", is that the Red Aid
collected funds for the funeral Of
Iwata, working class leader murdered
by the Tokyo police last November
"Asahi" also states that the Red
Aid collected funds for it's activities
in the Tokyo Imperial University, the
Labor Exchange, and the Cabinets

FRICTION GROWS
AT GENEV A

GENEVA, May 29.-The Disarma-
ment Conference, as it began to deal
with more concrete points, brought
out yesterday whole series Of disa-
greements between the consulting
powers. The French and japanese
delegations are lined up against any
numerical limitation on tanks. Japan
also opposes the numerical limitation
Of bombing planes. England and jap
an are both in complete opposition
to the formula for defining an ag-
gressor nation which is now under
discussion by the Security Commits
sion.
Now an entirely new source of
friction has developed over the uues-
ton of the adjournment of the Con-
ference. The United States is op-
posed to the Conference adjourning
until some sort of agreement Is
reached and wants that agreement
to be reached before the opening of
TIL World Economic Conference.
England is heading move for the
almost immediate adjournment Of
this Conference, until such time as
the Economic Conference itself shall
be over and done with. A bitter fight
on this question is developing. The
powers in favor of a recess are ar
guing that the League Secretariat's
funds are so low that it would be
financially impossible to hold two
major conferences simultaneously.

Strike Led by the Red
Trade Unions

MANILA, P. I. (By MaiD The re-
evolutionary trade union center of the
Philippines, the "Proletarian Labor
Congress" or *. A. p" has done
splendid piece Of work in rallying
the tobacco workers, mostly women,
to strike against wage cuts. Five
years ago, a good worker used to
draw as much as 80 pesos (15 dollars
week. Now part time and cut rates
make it impossible to get over two
or three pesos a week.
Still another cut was decreed on
March 80 by the Helena" Company,
with shops scattered about the Man
lila region. One hundred and fifty
women cigar makers in the Sampoloc
branch part of Manila) responded
with strike. The K. A. P. center
and the Tobacco Workers Union af-
filiated to the K. A. P. are leading
the strike and have extended it to
seven factories of this one company;
by April 7 they had no less than
1850 workers on strike. Only IS
workers in three shops of the COM
pany are working, and these are from
families of the foremen.
On April 8, ten Representatives of
the Central Strike Committee pre-
sented their demands OF the owner
and manager of the entire Helena
system. The demands were rejected
and the strike continues until this
writing. The bosses threaten to use
gangsters, while the mass picketing
and defense organization is strength
ened by the Strike Committee.
The strike issue was raised in the
May Day preparations and the strtk-
- hgeughk into tho demonstration.
