Der with reference to the proposed COM
mission.
The report of a special committee, ap-
pointed In response to a resolution pass
ed by the recent annual meeting OF the
chamber in Washington, is the basis for
this referendum. This committee has
held frequent sessions and presents lts
in such form that each
organization will be readily enapleo 10
give its opinion on the matter
No Opinion on Other Features.
The report Is confined to a discussion
of the insterstate trade commission, no
opinion being expressed concerning the
other proposals for antitrust leglsla-
ton contained in the tentative bills
which have been put forward, but on
which no measures have yet been
formally introduced into Congress. he
garding this matter the committee says:
When it becomes more evident Wnae

gress for consideration. the committee
will hold further meetings and make q
separate report with a purpose or al

The committee approves of the p an to
create an interstate trade commission
to take the place of the bureau of
corporations, believing that commits
sion is far preferable in dealing with
the intricate questions involved in inter-
state commerce to a single official of
the Department of Commerce, as Is at
present the case.

That the Nationals standing IN tho

proved had Doc Ayers been allowed
to start the games he was called on
TO finish this spring. there is not the
slightest doubt Ayers has pitchcd
by far the most effective ball of any

There Is one thing about Ayers which
makes him valuable pitcher, and that
is: Any team which beats him must
bat out victory, for he does not
present IL with any run by reason Of
INABILITY TO get the ball over tho

Had Griffith confined his pitching to
