Congress May Probe
 Strike Al Lawrence
Chairman of House Commit tee on Labor Said to
 Favor Inquiry

Washington. Feb 24.-A Congress sional investigation of the latest Law renee developments was made cer- tain. this afternoon. Chairman Wit son, of the House Committee on La bor, wired President Golden, of the textile workers union for an official statement of today's events. It is be- lieved he will probably demand Con- greSSional authority to investigate fully what he terms an 'unwarranted assumption of authority by the Law renee police"
 q am shocked at the accounts from Lawrence, today" said Wilson. 'If, as reported, the militia and pO- lice have prevented women and chill dren from leaving Lawrence to get to another state. I believe that the matter comes under the Jurisdiction of the Federal government, an inter- state question being involved. Pub facts and have asked MT. Golden ton to call the matter to the atten- bor, which has been watching the strike, and to announce some plan for Congressional cognizance.
 Never before in the history of strikes have I heard of an attempt to prevent the interstate movement of strikers or their families by the use of soldiery. By what authority can state or municipal authorities prevent the sending of these children to places where homes will be provided for them? I am unable to understand it. Conditions at Lawrence seem most serious and deplorable."

 The American Game Protective and Propa gation association, of New York has called attention to this in urging the establishment of county protective association throughout the United States. Under normal conditions the game could hold it's own against the forces Of nature and the covers de- p!eted by severe storms would soon be replenished from the surviving breed ing stock. But under the conditions existing throughout this country, which have been brought about by indiscrim- mate shooting, the birds do well to survive the attacks of man, and an unusual spell of cold weather accom- panied by heavy snows often exter- inmates them in certain localities.
 In such crises energetic action by local sportsmen can save them, but to be truly efftcacious 1t is organized action that is needed rather than the sporadic effort of scattered individ ualS.
 In numerous other ways county pro tective bodies help save the game and

 The national asscciatfon's interest in the formation of local organizations does not stop with advocacy of the plan. The association will lend ma terial aid to those interested in start ing either state or county clubs for the protection of game. It has al ready accomplished much in this line

WIN PHONE
RATE WAR
Company Says There Was No
Commission Fight in
Jersey.

LEGAL druggists claim to have won
their fight against the New York Tele-
phone Company, which, they say, at
tempted to cut in half commissions on
telephone calls. The company itself
der-ies that there was ever a fight
about commissions in New Jersey.
Two thousand pharmacists in north
ern New Jersey are said to be affected
by the voluntary capitulation OF the
company. 1t Is asserted that the drug
gists threatened to throw out every
telephone booth in their stores.
It was announced some time ago that
the average commission of 20 per cent.
would be reduced to 10 for the purpose
OF Standardization" according to the
druggists.
The druggist associations Of Newark,
as well as those OF New York, were up
In arms Immediately.
Committees waited on the telephone
company to ask why the 'standardiza-
ton. could not be affected at 90 per
cent. 1t was urged that the rates in
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, st. Louis and
other cities are % per cent. or better.
On its part, the company said that
automatic machines made the reduc-
ton necessary.
Under the new plan of the company
all druggists doing more than 81 tele-
phone business a day will receive the
full 20 per cent. Druggists doing 50
cents or less day will receive 10 per
cent; between so cents and 81 Ii per
cent.
