Current news dispatches carry the in
formation that Earl Browder. secretary

his report to the International meeting
Of the Communist Comintern at Mos
COW advised that body which is the eX-
ecutiVe branch of the Third InternatiOn-
ale, that Communists in the United
States were planning more intensive

This is but more evidence of the fact

Pacific coast states in particular, can
expect more trouble from those to whom
our constitution means nothing.

Communists in Imperial county are re-
ported to have uncovered scheme by
which an attempt is to be made to place
nucleus of reds" in control Of a large
group Of field workers
The plan as disclosed provides for
the organization of a Field Workers
Union to start with twenty members,
about Is of whom are to have Red"
cards.
Each regular member is to represent
four others who are to be classed as as
sociate' members, but whose names are
not to appear on the membership rolls
This original organization is to apply
to the American Federation of Labor for
a charter as regular union, thus giving
it the standing of genuine labor organ
izatiOn.
It is planned eventually, before next
melon season, to extend the membership
to 500, which would make a group of

inept pitching.
The Red Sox staged a Six-run

the Tigers, 10-9. The SoX made
four errors to three for the Tigers

Sixth at Lincol

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Thomas
A. Yawkey, owner of the Boston
Red Sox, nimrod and rover Of
open trails of the world, fled De-
troit for the invigorating air of
the lake front. His pet topics Of
conversation right now are the
winning of second place by the
Boston Red Sox, and the hunting
of Alaskan brown bears. But not
even the thrill of dropping a 10
foot Kadiak can compare with the
joy that Yawkey gets out of win
ming ball games.
There is a great deal written
about hunting wild animals"
Yawkey said. "SOme writers
strip hunting of its aura of dam
ger. 1t is true that a wild ami
NAL is always willing to get away
from the human, but a wounded
Kadiak, grizzly, or any Of the
larger forms of wild animals can
be dangerous.
"A hunter who is charged at
close range by a wounded bear
must shoot fast and true"
What kind of gun did Mr..
Yawkey use in his pursuits OF
Ursidae?
81 used a 1878 Magnum, Spe-
cial built rifle" he said.
"This will project a SOO-grain
bullet at 1000 foot pounds at
the muzZIe. At 100 yards this
strikes with a force Of $500
pounds. This is sufficient to
knock down a Kadiak at that
distance, shocking him so that
he cannot charge.
PREFER BOLT ACTION
"Of course, when you knock
down a bear, or any other
large animal. you have a chance
to throw the bolt and inject a
fresh cartridge into the firing
chamber. l prefer bolt action
because there is less chance of
it jamming. A bit of twig, a
leaf or something might cause
lever action gun to jam.
"This is one mans opinion"
Yawkey said. II know many
hunters who prefer the lever
action"
Where were the wild trails call
ing this rover of the trails of
the world?
"TO Florida" replied Yawkey.
There to hunt panthers. There
are big cats down in the Ever
