Communism staged its annual
May Day demonstrations in the
four corners of the world today,
and early reports revealed few
disorders and something less than
the usual enthusiasm.
Ironically, the most sensational
demonstration was that held in
Germany, where the Hitler regime
launched a counter offensive on
the day traditionally set aside for
glorification of the class struggle.
"Think in German"
Under the leadership of Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler and President
Won Hindenburg. the Nazis called
upon Germany's 100000 men
and women of the working class
to cast SocialiStic theories from
their mind and henceforth think
only in German"
An attempt by the remnants
of the German Communist party
to stage an orthodox May Day
demonstration, failed utterly.
In New York and other popu.
louS cities of the United States,
mass meetings, paradeS, and SIM
liar demonstrations we're planned.
Police in all communities took
EXTRAORDINARY precautions to pre-.
vent disorders.

duty, with 1000 assigned to Union

Chicago's May Day was ushered
in by the explosion of five power.

points in the city'S commercial

at 100000. Police ordered the

Wars on Communists

CHICAGO, May 1 (I.N.S0
Police ordered the arrest of
every known Communist at
dawn today after five powerful
dynamite bombs, exploding ST.
multaneously, damaged prop
erty in or near the downtown
area to the extent of at least
100000.
A watchman suffered slight con-
tusions when struck by flying
glass. Authorities at the same
time ordered police guards thrown
about public buildings, public util-
tiles companies and large indus
trial firms to protect their prop
critics against further terroristic
outbreaks. -
Four Men in Custody
-Four men were taken into GUS
today for questioning. Police de-
clared they were certain that the
explosions were planned as part OF
the May Day demonstrations of
radicals.
Some detectives, however, be-
lieved the attacks may have been
an outgrowth of the gangland war
for control of the teamsters'
unions.
All five firms were dependent on
union teamsters, police pointed
out.
The worst blast did serious
damage at the illinois Bell Tele-
phone Company, where the bomb
exploded with a roar that reused
the central section of the city.
Hundreds Of window panes in
the affected building and adjoin-
ing structures went crashing into
the streets. Part of the debris
torn from a wall of the building
hurtled through an adjoining
structure.
All in Few Minutes
The other explosions, less than
a minute apart, shattered the
garment plant of Marshall Field
& Co., south of the Loop; the
Willett Teaming Company offices
and stables; Sprague, Warner &
Co., wholesale grocery, and HID

RULES RIGID

The New York Stock Exchange
has taken further drastic steps to

among its members, and bring all

pervision Of the Exchange authori-

Through amendments to the
Exchange constitution, it in effect
placed a ban upon speculative
activities of customers men and
placed direct responsibility upon
partners of houses themselves for
any statements made in market
letters, bulletins, etc.
The rulings are expected to
have a preaching effect upon
present practices in Wall Street
