Motorcade, Train Rally, To Be Held
City Will Provide Escort For Parade Through Downtown Area
Giving the Trojan football squad what is hoped to be a send-off unequalled in th^ history of student activities, members of U. S. C.’s student body will form a giant motorcade rally tomorrow afternoon as the team leaves for the University of Illinois.
Plans as released by Sid Smith, president of the Trojan Knights and chairman of the student rally committee, call for the formation of the parade on University avenue at 4 o'clock, Students will park their cars on the east side of the parkway with the lead-off cars at the intersection of 34th street and University avenue.
The route or the parade as assigned by university and city officials will be from 34th and University, east on Jefferson to Flower, north on Flower to Washington, east on Washington to Central, and north on Central to the Southern Pacific station at 5th and Central Officials of the railroad have requested that students park their cars in the parking area to the south of the station so as not to tie up traffic In front of the depot.
The police commission of the city has granted the request for a motorcycle escort to help the parade through the traffic on the way to the station. A closed area will be set up on 36th street from University to Hoover street for the formation of the team and band busses. Only cars having official passes issued by the student rally committee will be allowed in this area.
The student store, under the management of Chris Daniels, will distribute cardinal and gold streamers free for the decoration of cars in the parade.
Head Yell King Phil Daniel will conduct a rally from the observation platform of the Trojan Special in the railroad yards.
Daily Trojan’s Election Poll Starts Today
More Than 1500 Ballots Will Be Ca9t, Says Editorial Board
Greeks To Vote Tonight
Result Will Differ From Last Survey, Claim Of Both Parties
Attempting to accurately count the student body and faculty’s political pulse, a presidential preference poll will be instituted today by the Dally Trojan.
With Interest Intensified by the proximity of the election, members of the editorial board ln charge of the balloting, believe that this year the vote will exceed 1500 as compared with January's total of 1049.
January’s poll, which is now discounted by both Young Republicans and Young Democrats on campus, gave Roosevelt a tremendous personal majority, but accorded the highest party vote to the Republicans, 526 to 507.
Arguing that many Independent Republican voters have since the last ballot been converted to the necessity of joining the Democratic ranks, Young Democrats contend that Roosevelt’s majority will not only be increased but that the party

Injuries to a dozen men and 11 arrests.
The trouble began when a group of between 50 and 75 strikebreakers left the Salinas I Valley Ice company plant, where they have been virtual j prisoners for three weeks.
’ Witnesses said the strikebreakers marched four abreast up and down a principal downtown street.
Strikers began to gather hurriedly and soon an equal force of union men was on parade. A policeman ordered the groups to disperse, and they disappeared.
Battle Rages Soon sounds of tumult came from the new $300,000 underpass in the downtown area. A battle was raging, with clubs augmenting fists ln the clash between the two forces.
A squadron of police and special officers, equipped with tear gas bombs, scattered the fighters and arrested 11 men who, police said, were strikers.
Immediately afterward special police patrols appeared on the streets to keep them clear and prevent sim-
C. of C. Fears Spread of Cooperatives
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 — at.P> — First rumblings of a threatened trade war In America were heard tonight when a committee of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce demanded that governmental agencies abolish preferential treatment in tax exemptions, financing and other aid to consumers’ cooperatives and treat all business alike.
The United Press learned that the Chamber's board of directors are apprehensive over the spread of the cooperative movement through which consumers band together and effect economies through cooperative purchases and sales.
Anxiety of some directors is said to have been heightened by the fact that President Roosevelt has been

Presidential Poll
Vote For One Candidate By Marking "X" After His Name
Promising something new ln the annals of U.S.C. social life, the Varsity club dance committee last night announced that as one of the highlight attractions of its second annual dance would be the presentation of an official Trojan varsity blanket as the featured door prize. The offering will be made during the intermission of the social event which will be held Saturday night, October 17. after the Washington State-Trojan game.
The person receiving the blanket will be the first in history to be given such an award. The blanket has always been reserved for three-year varsity letter winners. "It was I ilar outbreaks, after a great deal of arbitration that we were finally privileged to guarantee this high token.,’ Varsity club President Gil Kuhn stated. "The Trojan blanket has become a thing sacred to all athletes, and It was only after much persuasion that the committee agreed to offer such a tempting gift,’’ Kuhn continued.
The official announcement as to what band will render music for the dance has not as yet been announced. Several top-notch units are under consideration and before the end of the week, a nationally known orchestra will be signed to play for the dancing Trojans.
Bids, priced at $1.50 are now on sale under the chairmanship of Joey Ftoberts. Bccause of the limited dance space and the increasing demands for bids, the number of tickets available have been regulated.
When this original number Is exhausted, it will be impassible to get more, Roberts said. “Those who wish to take part in the after-game frolic as guests of the Varsity club, are warned to make early purchases," Roberts concluded.
Special Session Called
Tonight’s clash ^ent council into a special session for an unannounced purpose. It was understood the councilmen discussed means of combatting the new situation and also had preliminary discussion of an anti-picketlng order they are considering adopting.
Shots were fired on three scattered fronts today as the Sallnas-Wat-sonvllle lettuce packers' strike ended its first month with little sign of a truce between the grower-ship-pers’ association and the fruit and vegetable workers union.

Three men stopped at the labor camp on the north side and fired a fusillade of shots into the property. Later guards at the Ice company plant challenged a speeding automobile to stop and received a volley of shots ln answer. The guards fired three shotgun blasts at the car and believed two of them were hits. A single shot was fired at one of the huge searchlights which is mounted on the top of the ice company plant, but the marksman's aim was bad.

So far Professor Cleminshaw has not succeeded in getting the earthlings very far from the earth, however. Despite the persistent encouragement of Professor Cleminshaw, they have not been able to get the celestial sphere firmly in their minds. However, the professor is lenient.

In the meantime, Dr. Bacon, who is the possessor of a fine new telescope. has suggested that Interested male members of the class Join him in an all-night vigil on the hilltops of the Hollywood mountains. At that time the stars will be observed as they rise and set during an eight-hour interval. In that setting, amidst the damp night air, the poison Ivy, and during the eight long hours, then surely, the first faint flickerings of celestial intelligence may come.
