TO PROTECT GAME
Reasons for Endorsement of MigratOr.
 Bird Law
The Federal Advisory Committee Asks
 Cooperation in Enforcement

The Federal Advisory Committee of the Migratory Bird Law has recently issued statement explaining its posi- ton in recommending the regulations for closed seasons on migratory birds. Among the reasons that controlled the committee were the following:
 First A most earnest desire to save from certain depletion and threatened annihilalion the valuable waterfowl, game and insectivorous birds which migrate across the United States twice each year.
 Second To accord the hunters in the various states as nearly as possible an equal opportunity of taking migfa. tory waterfowl and nomandie game | bifus.
 Third To open the seasons during which these birds can be legally killed ! in those months when under normal weather and food conditions the larg est numbrr ot migratory waterfowl and birds sojoufn in any particular state
 Fourth Te absolutely eliminate sptiug shooting, when migratory wa- ter fowl oud birds on the northWaTd migration are joumeying towards theig breeding grounds, thus impelled by The resi>tic,s toree of nature, to mate, nest and reproduce their species.
 Finh To recognize unusual and eN traofdnafy conditions existing in a few of the states, without etlecting the equity or vested rights of the people of the whole country in the migratory wild life
 sixth To submit reasonable, pracu- cal, fair and just regulations that should invite the support Of all tru, oonseryationlsts.
 Seventh To guarantee not only tc the present generation a reasonable supply et migratory wild He, bultt so proleet Il that 1t will multiply ana be handed 10 future generations a, their proper and rightlul heritage.
 These sound reasons for supporlin. the law will appeal at ouce Ia the req sportsman or lover of nitd lie PeeAap. the game butchers who go aoou shooting ptomiseuausly in season and out il they think they can ge away with it-w1ll feet that il iS cur tailment of their liberty as Ameficat citizens. But aside from these aVaFiei ous destgoyers no one will or can oolee To having regulations that will pro hibit this class Of game fife from be coming extinct.
 The law aims al conservation Of ma tural resources and not st the preNen ton of their use. IL Is Ihe aim Io al low shooting and 10 have Il SD regulat ed thut it will improve each year. 4 sufficient quantity may be killed eact year 10 supply our needs and iurnisf wholesome sport but 1t is & notable fac. that if the past unlimited slsugh ter was allowed to go on unchecked wt would awake some day 10 find many of our present game birds extinct. This has been proven in the extinction ol the wild passenger pigeon, the Ameri' can bison and a great number of othei animals and birds that have been mer' cilessly slaughtered by hunters whS give DO thought io the future.

MISS HALEY TAKES A RAP AT
PUBLIC SCHOOL LEAGUE
Miss Margaret Haley, business
representative of the Chicago Teach
ers' Federation, today analysed the
membership of the executive COM
mittee of the Chicago Public School
league. On it's face and name the
organization looks like it is going to
save Chicago schools and clean up
and straighten out everything that's
dirty and crooked. According to
Miss Haley, however, some of the
hackers of the new organization are
the very men who have been hooked
up with notorious deals by which
the children and school teachers lose
money that rightfuIly belongs to
them.
From it's new Offices in the West
minister bldg. the league announces
through it's secretary, John L. Low
EFT, that Jake Loeb ought to be re-
elected president of the school board,
and when Mayor Thompson appoints
new members to the board they
should be men of ''unquestionable
standing in the community
'The executive committee feels
that the record of Jacob NJ. Loeb COM
mends itself to the parents and the
taxpayers of Chicago" says the
statement. "He has been fearless
and has stood for the best interests
of the schools"
''The vice president of the new
league is Alfred R. UTiOn, vice presi- |
dent of Armour e Co.," commented |
Miss Haley. ''He was president of |
the school board when school land |
leases were negotiated for Chicago |
newspapers. The actual cash loss
to the people of Chicago by the op-
Grafton of the Tribune lease alone |
amounted to more than $4,000 a |
year to begin with and the loss is
more than that now Mr.. Urion can

edly opposing the eight-hour day for
women as well as all other progress
sive legislation demanded by the Hi
nOis labor movement at Springfield.
He is know not merely as an OppO-
nent of organized labor. and the
closed shop. He is actively and pas
siOnately committed to the task of
destroying all labor unions on the
ground that labor unions are harm
to their members.
Jacob J. Abt, another executive
committee member, is of the firm of
L. Abt & Son, garment manufacture
ers. Mr.. Abt was president of the
garment bosses organization during
the big strike a year ago when they
refused not only to grant the meager
wage increase asked by the garment
workers union, but also refused to
arbitrate though arbitration was al
most universally endorsed as the
proper procedure.
Other members executive commit
tee are D. e. Felt of Felt & TaTTant
Mfg. Co., LaVerne w. Noyes of Aer-
motor Co., Carl SchOlz, president
Rock Island Coal Co. All are mem
bers of Ill. Mfrs assn.
"LabOr-haters and IabOr-crush-
ers," said Ed Nockels, secretary Chi
cago Federation of Labor. Most Of
them are in the gang we find down
at Springfield whenever we ask for
a minimum wage law or something
else for labor and humanity"
