The money will go/| mostly for the purchasing of cattle | in. drought areas which will be| slaughtered and canned, and for! providing jobs for impoverished | farmers at 30 cents an hour. | Since the only farmers having | saleable cows are the wealthy ones, | this means that most of the “re-| lief’ will go to them. Smaller | farmers have their herds mort-| aged. Together with their fam-| és, they number among the vic- tims of the drought 500,000 per- sons who have lost practically | everything, crops and cattle, in the; Searing drought. Relief Administrator Hopkins declared today he had no inten- tion of establishing a large public works program “at miserably low Wage rates.” But, under his work Program, he said, the farmers will be paid 30 cents an hour mini- mum. Despite warnings from agricul- tural experts, Roosevelt today ex- pressed assurance that there is no danger of a famine.

A | second attempt of the Regional La- | bor Board to get its hands on the \ strike of the auto body workers was unanimously rejected by a general meeting of the Commercial Auto Body Workers Union, which voted to ignore the Board’s order to at- tend a meeting and discuss terms of settlement. At the same time the union learned that the boss of the Kaiser shop approached the Board in a desperate effort to stave off a union victory, but entirely on his own ini- strike in solidarity wherever struggle breaks out. “This rising wav of class struggle,” he said, “is already a confirmation of the correctness of the decision of the 8th Conven- | tion of the ©.

Fearing the move- ment would spread to other depart- ments, the bosses immediately of- fered an increase in piece rates. The Weavers turned this down, insist- ing that the guaranteed wage was essential to enable them to meet the rising costs of bread, milk and other necessities.

Hold-outs are established in base- ball and the farsighted owners have | made provisions for dealing with | them, and such recalcitrants are re- garded as fools, ingrates or sages— | depending on théir ability or re- | Hown—but these hold-outs have al- ways viewed their differences with the management as personal ones and have sought coopération only | from the néwspapers and the open- minded and just fans of América. | No hold-out therefore has ever put! into practice the idéa of calling the brethren out on strike. The Breadon bulwarks of American fair play and | clean sport must have felt, accord- | ingly, when Dizzy and Nuteey| walked out, that their action vio- | lated the spirit of democracy and that this was regimentation and collectivism and that while it might be alright in Russia, the American people would never stand for it. | ees BIS {gece theoretical considerations as | regimentation and collectivism, | however, néver entered the minds | of Dizzy and Nutsty. They are! simple souls who aré looking to! make their way in the world with- | | out encroaching on the province of | men better fitted for serious think- ing. Nor did they look upon them- selves as symbols of the oppressed ivory of the baseball leagues. I am | afraid, too, that they did not look upon their cause as common with | the struggles of workers through- out the country against their bossés. Their’s was simply a case in which Dizzy was getting $7,500 for six months (about two days a week, four hours a day work) and con- sidered himself grossly underpaid, and Nutsey was getting $3.000 for the same amount of time and ener- | @y, and also considered himself | grossly underpaid. But while Dizzy | Was willing to suffer solely with | mumbled protests in his own be- half. the plight of his brother made his heart bleed. He was, therefore, a leading voice in the negotiations with the Breadons. | Naturally, the Breadons, though | they probably put another curse on | | Karl Marx, did not, think it neces- | sary to call out the militia. This | Was @ conflagration that gave no| signs of spreading but was easily amenable to settlement. The fact that Dizzy and Nutsey are again in the chains for St, Louis is proof of this. The boys had the one thing in their favor which hold-outs must | have—they are good pitchers and box-office attractions; and strike or no strike, bad example or no bad example, regimentation .or collec- tivism, the proper spirit or no proper | Spirit—the box-office is what counts. Such a man like Dizzy, who had 199 strikeouts last year, and who has already won 6 games this year, and such a man like Nut- sey, who has already won 5 games this year, are not to be dismissed with gas and bullets like ordinary laborers, 50 ‘Folding Chairs Cheap 5 0 Also Office Furniture KALMUS, 35 W. 26th Street MARINE WORKERS WELCOME The OLD ANCHOR Bar and Grill 31 COENTIES SLIP Opp. Seamen's Inatitute New York BERMAE’S Cafeteria and Bar 809 BROADWAY Between 11th and 12th Streets Williamsburgh Comrades Weleome De Luxe Cafeteria e a ia Ge i aap ag | i victory of the Deans is not to be taken, therefore, as that the baseball autocracy is weake ening.

Prayers went up to heaven from the pious magnates of the American and National Leagues and threats came down on the heads of the runaways and waver- ers.
