lie is certain to be the favorite, for
the strapping Filly, out to join Re-
gret as the only filly ever to win
the derby dotes on heavy going.
Omaha, notoriously slow start
er, but a magnificent finisher, was,
with Today, the principal hope of
the east. If he is lucky enough to
escape interference at the start
and find his stride quickly he is
capable of giving his hackers plen-
ty of run for their money.
The odds on these three horses
are not likely to be much lower
than those of the other top-flight
four, for the more turf followers
studied the form charts the more
convinced they became that it was
the most open derby in years, and
anything with fair amount of
luck stood a chance of banging

BAD WEATHER
BRINGS GRIEF
To SCHEDULES

NEW YORK, May 4. UP)-The
major league season is dragging
and with little more than TWO
weeks play, postponements ap-
proach an all-time record.
Yesterday four games were post
poned in the American league and
two in the national, bringing the
total to "a. The Junior circuit has
been hit hardest, with Is against
nine in the national.
In yesterdays only games the
Giants handed the Reds a to
lacing and the Dodgers beat the
Pirates, 2 to l.
Carl Hubbell scored his third VIC
tory against one defeat in the New
York game and seldom was both
cred by the Reds. Mel OFT helped
him by hitting his sixth home run
TO pull into major league four
way tie.
Hubbell allowed only six hits
while the Giants pounded Frey,
Brennan and Hermann for 16 safe
ties.
In the Brooklyn-Pi Pittsburgh
game, Van Lingle Mungo became
the Dodgers second three victory
pitcher but Lefty w. Watson
Clark, whom he joins, is unbeaten,
while Mungo has lost two games.
He won for himself yesterday in
another typical Dodger hairraiser
in which a seventh inning rally
beat the Pirates. Herman's Single
and Traynors double netted the
Pirates their only score.
Taylor singled in the seventh
and finally was singled home by
Strip to tie the score. Then Mum
go added another hit to score the
winning run.
Buzz Boyle, Dodger outfielder,
contributed his hare to the thrills
in the ninth, when he caught The
venows fly and rifled the ball
home to catch Suhr at the plate
with the tying run.
Mungo pitched siX-hitter, while
the Dodgers got nine off big Jim
Weaver.

Referee Quits
During this exchange of courte-
sizes Contos continued to reel about
the ring until he finally found ter
ra firma beneath his staggering
feet once more. Sensing that all
was not on the up and up with
his two charges, Contos dove into
the tangle of arms and legs and
finally separated the maulers. This
good work completed satisfactorily
Johns reward was another Christy
biff on the beeZer and the fat was
in the fire again. John lost one
tooth, received a gorgeous sinner
and very sensibly, relinquished the
refereeing job into the capable
hands of Bill Tackett.
Tackett thus called back into &C
ton again soon ended the hostili-
ties by stopping the bout and
awarding the decision to Szabo who
showed his appreciation of this
signal honor bestowed upon him
and also his utter contempt of his
erstwhile opponent by leaving him
with lasting token of his regards.
Just before he skipped through the
ropes on his way to the showers,
Szabo walked over to ChriSty,
wound up a haymaker which must
have originated somewhere along
the beautiful Blue Danube and let
Christy have it right smack On the
chin. That dear people, was very
much that BY the way these two
have been rematched for finish
bout next Friday night. 'Nuff sed.
In the preliminary match on the
card Jaghat Singh of India and
George Poulos of Greece put on
really excellent match. The grap-
pier from the banks of the Gan
geS was much the cleverer of the
two and won the match after Is
minutes of fast work by compli-
Gated toe hold from which PouloS
could not extricate himself.
All in all it was an enjoyable
evening with a goodly number of
interested spectators in attendance.

MANY NEEDY
IN ILLINOIS
BEGGING FOOD

CHICAGO, May 4. U.P) - Nearly
100000 men. women and children
foraged for food in downstate Illi-
nois today, appealing to neighbors
and laying siege to the offices Of
private charities. as more relief sta
tions closed because of lack of
funds.
Wilfred S. Reynolds, secretary of
1he Illinois Emergency Relief Com
mission, reported that food depots
in 50 of the states 102 counties
were empty and that the number
Of destitute was mounting hourly.
Many communities struggled
along on starvation rations' pro-
vided from fast-dwindling relief
balances or funds made available
by county boards in an effort to
bridge the crisis.
The relief commission received
reports of protest demonstration
in three counties, La Sale, William
son and Winnebago, where food or
ders were shut off yesterday. The
demonstrations, blamed on Com
munist agitators, we're brief and
without violence.
Reynolds SAID the plight of the
indigents would reach serious pro-
portions" before Tuesday, when the
state legislature in Springfield will
renew its battle over a $4,000, 900
month relief program demanded
by the federal government.
Failure of the legislature to enact
the program, calling for an in
crease in the state sales tax from
two to three per cent. resulted in
the stoppage of federal FERA al
lotments.
Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins remained adamant on his
ultimatum today, although there
were reports that the government
might send money into Chicago
and Cook county, where the relief
burden has been taken over by the
county board.

thousands Of people, demanding
that the Boston Store grant the de-
mands of the strikers.
These signers pledged themselves
not to buy at the Boston Store until
the strikers demands we're won.
Around Christmas and the New
Year the league raised money which
was used for the relief of the most
needy strikers, and also to buy toys
for the children of the strikers. The
Socialist Party leadership. as we'll
as the top trade union chiefs, tried
to hamper the activity of the
women. They did not dare to do
so openly. but conducted an under
ground campaign. The deeds and
activity of the league overcame
these disruptive tactics.
Shoppers League Was Militant
Many Socialists remained in the
league, working side by side with
Communists and others. The strik-
ers even compelled the union lead
ership to acknowledge in a public
statement the good work of the
league and to give it official recog-
milton. The Women Shoppers
League acted not merely as relief
agency, but through its activity
brought a more militant spirit to
the strike and helped to expose the
reactionary leadership of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
The league organized a picket line
of its own, invading the store with
banners, marching through the
aisles, causing panic among the po-
lice and strikebreakers. at the same
time modifying support for the
strike. The International Labor De-
Tense, too became involved in the
strike and gave defense to all work
ers arrested on the picket line, re-
gardless of political utilization.
When the union officialdom dis
couraged militant action, claiming
that such action would cause
numerous arrests, and the unions
inability to give defense, strikers
answered: I'VE will appeal to the
International Labor Defense" We
must remark, however, that the IN
ternational Labor Defense did not
fully respond to the situation in
supporting legal defense by mass
action.

was greeted by storm of applause
when he continued, Perhaps they

fact that the Workers Bill in all
its essential principles, is taken di-
rectly from a document written by

Of the BOlshevik PARTY"
Blow Aimed at Workers
Reviewing the triumphs of So
cialist construction begun by Lenin
and continued under the guidance
and leadership of Stain, Lenin's
worthy successor, BroWder spoke of
the recent murder of Kirov, Stains
close friend and comrade- in-a arms.
The immense gathering was pro-
foundry stirred as Browder con-
tinued, I'VE are surrounded by

Who can forget how these enemies
always and everywhere have re-
sorted even to assassination to de-
feat the working CLASP"
Who can forget" Browder ex-
claimed, that Lenin himself finally
died from the effects Of an assas-
sins bullet from which he had only
partially recovered?
Turning to the KirOv murder,
BrOwder continued, 'Tt is very i'm
pOrtant that we gain deep under
standing of the meaning in this
historic light of the most recent
murder blow of our enemies. A
central purpose of this murder was
to cover up the tremendous achieve
ments of the Soviet Union, which
had just been announced at the
Plenum of the All-RusSian Party.
Its meaning is that it was the des-
perate act of defeated and crushed
counter -revOlutionists.
The Counter RevolutiOnists
The thousands of workers voiced
their hatred and indignation as
Browder branded counter revolu-
tionary Trotkyism, declaring, What
enemy was it that reached the goal
and struck down the comrade
standing next to Comrade Stain?
1t was precisely these remnants OF

Yet this is not an exceptional

Labor, who, in laying down his
proposals for unemployment insur-
ance, said on Dec. 10 that workers
who are discharged for misconduct
or who quit work without good cause
shall not thereby forfeit benefits
beyond a reasonable time. The same
reference is made in the American
