Tigers Need Only Victory
Today to Capture

Cards to Give A. L.

By United Press
NAVIN FIELD, Detroit, Oct. g.
Needing just one victory to cap
ture the worlds BASEBALL champion
ship, the Detroit Tigers returned to
their home lot today to play the St.
Louis Cardinals in the sixth game
of the series.
The most enthusiastic baseball
crowd seen at world series game
in the last half-dozen years damned
every bit of space in this high
Strewn baseball stadium.
The Tiger cause today was in
trusted to Lynwood (Schoolboy)
Rowe whose pitching in the second
game, which broke Detroit into the
winning column, was some of the
finest the series has seen. He was
opposed by Paul Dean, winner of
the third game. Both are right
handlers.
The Tigers were hot betting
favorites to win the series and were
also favored in the wagering OH to-
days game.
Micky Cochrane of the Tigers
stood pat on his revised lineup with
Goose Goslin in the cleanup posi-
ton, Billy Rogell fifth, and Hank
Greenberg sixth.
If the Cards should win today,
necessitating a seventh contest to-
morrow, baseball would be having
it's first seven-game series since
1881 when the Cards won the title
over the Philadelphia Athletics.
Dizzy Dean had his ears pinned
back yesterday as the Tigers carved
out 3-to-1 victory.
This Detroit triumph placed the
Tigers in the lead in the series for
the first time. 1t was due, more
than anything else, to the grand
pitching performance of Tommy
Bridges, the 155-pound speedball
star.

PARIS, March 3O.-General strike
beginning May 1 against the Dou-

The workers in the state-owned

The strike is to take place if the

report.
Having given the various fascist
organizations of France, which are
backed by leading industrialists,
ample time to carry out their pro-
gram Of arning, the Doumergue
government yesterday issued a de-
cree requiring that all sales Of arms
be reported to the government.
The whole capitalist press is mask

against the Communist Party and
the workers organizations, attempt
ing to whip up an anti-working class
fury among the ruined middle

ALBANY, N, Y, March 80. A

particularly of Senator Warren T.
Thayer, Republican whip of the
State Senate, who may find himself
the target of impeachment proceed

Thayer was formerly the chair
man of the Senate Utilities Com
mittee, and recent revelations have
disclosed the fact that he used this
Office for the purpose of blocking
and killing all legislation which
might have tended to lower the cost
of electricity, gas, etc. Proof of
this was found when the Federal
Trade Commission unearthed let
tiers written by Thayer to big New
York utilities corporations.
With these letters, Thayer had
turned in expense accounts definite
ly proving that he had been on the
payrolls of these corporations at the
same time that he was ostensibly
acting as an impartial chairman
of the Senate Utilities Committee.

Why the Mayor Broke the
Taxi Strike Agreement

THE boss press in New York has resorted to its
lowest form of attack the taxi strike-rumors.
They spread rumors of splits, rumors of the end
Of strike. This all fits nicely into the policies of
the feet owners the General Motors Co.. and of
Mayor LaGuarda.
They want to do everything to disintegrate to
dissolve the ranks of the striking taxi drivers.
In order to SANDER the strike leaders, and
Communists who support the strike the capitalist
press is trying to make it appear that they do not
want settlement of the strike.
What are the facts? The strike leaders on March
26 signed agreement with LaGuardia for Pile
bscite to let the men determine, while the strike
was on, what union they wished to belong to. But
then things began to happen. The bosses did not
want to give the men any such right. LaGuardia
began to order his police to smash picket lines. He
wanted to weaken the strike so that there could be
no basis for agreement.
The strikers from the start have been ready and
ready to settle the strike the issue they
came out on-against company union and for
recognition of their own union. LaGuardia and the
bosses opposed this. The capitalist press is raising
he SANDER to split the ranks of the strikers that
the Communists oppose settlement"

Maneuvers fastened as
Day of New World
War Approaches

PARIS, March 30.-With war for
the redivision of the world among
the imperialist powers coming closer
every day, as the only capitalist
hope of overcoming the world crisis,
the European imperialists have been
feverishly negotiating among them
selves on the question OF the dis
tribution Of ornaments and of mill
tary alliances among themselves.
The negotiations, in which F-ance
and Great Britain are taking the
lead at the moment, center chiefly
around the rearming of Germany.
Great Britain, as the chief organizer
Of the anti-Soviet front. is seeking
French approval of land ornaments
for Germany. France has coun-
tered with demands for diplomatic
and military guarantees that the
armament of each country will be
carried out in accordance with a
general agreement among the i'm
perialists.
Despite the sharp antagonisms
between France and Germany, the
Doumergue government has now
agreed to a conditional increase in
German military power, provided
guarantees are made that it will not
be used against France.
This development of the French
attitude comedies with the renewal
Of an energetic anti-Soviet cam
paign in the French press, following
a certain slackening in the anti
Soviet drive last year after Hitler
came to power.
At the present time the French
and British governments are carry
ing on day to day maneuvers in
which each seeks to put the respon-
sibility for increased ornaments on
the other, and at the same time to
extract concessions from the other
in favor Of its own military plans.

severe penalties in connection with
the clash in which this Steel Hell
met man died.
The newspapers are widely pub
licising a Nazi scheme called
Strength through JOY" through
which workers are supposed to get
free holidays by the sea and at
resorts.
The workers of the Eilenberg
Cellulose plant, Berlin, quickly found
out what it means when two Nazis
of the plant were given holidays"
Tt turned out that every other
worker was to be assessed 10 phen-
nigS to pay for the holidays"
They called meeting, at which
they agreed first that at that rate
each of them would get holiday"
only in about hundred years, and
that in any case only the lick
spittles among the workers would
be favored" They unanimously
voted to refuse to allow the assess
ment to be taken from their wages.
The organization of working class
bicycle couriers, carrying illegal
newspapers and leaflets has become
so effective in Hamburg that the
police have suddenly received orders
to halt all cyclists to see if they arc
obeying traffic regulations" Nor
than $4,000 cyclists were stoppe
during six days, and 1879 of the
were penalized for minor traffls
infractions, paying a total of 1858
marks.
How Employment Is Increased"
What the Nazis' labor battle" to
increase employment" means is
shown by a dispatch from the IL
legal Communist Party organization
in the Harz district. At the Remels-
berg iron mines, SO new workers
were given jobs, and at the Duke
Julius iron works, 10 were employed.
This was accomplished, however, by
forcing tho workers already en-
ployed to voluntarily" cut down
their weekly hours and wages
enough to enable the employers to
hire these new men without increas-
ing the payroll.
