S0 Ter tent SaIafy CuC
 "In 1920" Breadon said, play ers' salaries reached a total of $90.- 900. This year we cut salaries ap- proximately 25 per cent, but you can see that that is but a rela- lively small part of our total costs. We've cut. too. on scouting costs, but the other charges remain about the same."
 The record book shows that the 1910 Cardinals played to 561.400 patrons at home and 331.943 on the road, for a total of 893.343. The club finished nj. seventh place that year. Tn 1882 the club fin- ished in the same position. but played to only 330,000 at home and 517.o00 on the road. Thus the 1882 cardinals played to 46.000 fewer fans than in 1910.

BASEBALL FANS
 ASK REDUCTIONS
 IN GATE PRICES
Salaries of Players Have Been Cut and Followers Believe the Admission Scale Should Be Too
By FRED BAILEY

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 St Louis. May S.-UP)-Base- ball crowds in many cities in both the major and minor leagues this season have been the smallest in years.
 Most of the decrease has been shown in the higher priced seats the bleachers remaining well patronized. Boxes have been all but deserted.
 The thousands, who have re- mained away from the parks have raised an insistent demand that admission prices be reduced to the depression level"
 Salaries of players have been reduced in line with salaries of other professinos, why not reduce the price the customers pay at the gate?" has been question asked.
 Breadon Explains
 Sam Breadon. St Louis Cardin- als president and principal stock holder in the worlds largest base ball organization. consented to answer this question for the United Press.
 The Cardinals far-fiung farm" system includes the Rochester club in the International league. the Columbus team in the Ameri- can association. Houston in the Piedmont. and Springfield in the Texas league. Greenviile in the Western association, besides hold ings in various other minor league clubs.
 "The question:" Breadon said. ifs serious one, and the fans are entitled to a fair answer. The answer is the costs of producing and operating a baseball club have not come down.
 Last season it cost us approxi- mately $1,000,000 to operate the Cardinal organization. That fig ures no return on our investment That was more money than we took In at the gate.
 Tt cost us s435.000 to operate the St Louis National league club. That represents a 300 per cent increase over cost of operat- ing the same club in 1910. The same has been true of practically every other baseball organization" Breadon outlined the operating expenses for the Cardinals Ma tional league club for 1882 as follows: 4E

SHANGHAI, Dec. 3.-The Canton

The Canton government is demand
ing the resignation of Chang Kali

for peace. The war-lords of Kwei-

Dimitroff, "a Years

for Swedish Workers

NEW YORK. in 1909, Dimitroff
organized help for the workers of
Sweden. In the edition of August
80, 1909, the organ of the Trade
Union Federation of Sweden, ''The
Answer" published the following
notice:
"Aid from Abroad. From the
Trade Union Federation of Bull
garia, a letter has been received
which reads as follows: Dear
Comrades, we send you another
$50 francs for the strikers. Greet

gained workers of Bulgaria.
G. Dimitroff, Secretary.
Before this, the Trade Union
Federation of Bulgaria, according
to the latest notices, contained
only 1909 members, had sent 200
francs. Considering the weak be-
ginnings and the circumstances of
the organization, their gift is ex-
traordinary."

Just as we were about to leave, the

At the headquarters of the tobacco
workers union we were warmly greet
ed. Tens of thousands of workers be-

the strongest and most militant in
Cuba.
Some of the tobacco workers are
on strike. Every means have been
used to break this strike, but of no
avail. Union headquarters we're raid
ed and sacked. Eighty workers were
arrested, including the secretary of
the Confederation, Cesar Vilar. The
workers forced their release. The
Grau government was particularly
piqued when the longshoremen, show
ing their unity with the tobacco work
ers, refused to load boat with scab-
prepared tobacco. They threatened
to force the workers to load the $751;
900 cargo at the po,nt OF rifles. Still
the workers refused When scabs
loaded the tobacco, the workers
threatened to extend the strike, and
the government ordered the tobacco
taken off the ship, which sailed with
out it.
A speaking tour throughout Cuba
has been arranged for the American
delegation. We will interview the
workers and peasants, and learn OF
their conditions, and bring to them
the pledge of closer bonds in the
struggle from the revolutionary and
anti-imperialist organizations in the
