points He told the committee that
his proposed legislation is based on
the recommendation OF Secretary OF
Labor William B. Wilson. In his an
nj al report in which he recommend
ed that a new homestead policy
should be adopted by Uncle Sam.
Secretary Wilson there pointed
out that title TO some OF the public
domain still remains In the govern
nlent: that by recent decision Of the
supreme court congress could re-
cover much OF the land formerly
granted away to land-grant railroads
(such as the OregonCalifornia land
grant and that there are extensive
areas Of privately owned but unused
farming land In most OF the states.

erai government fer promoting labor
opportunities"
The secretary OF labor pointed out
that the original hom"stead laws re-
lieved the industrial cCngestions OF
their day by opening the west to
pioneers. But" he said. "the day
OF tho individual pioneer is over
From the Atlantic he has moved
westward until the Pacific throws
him back again into crowded spaces,
and new forms OF Industrial con
gestion have consequently developed.
To the relief OF these. the old form
OF homesteading is not adapted; but
the demonstrating principle persists.
The problem Is how 10 adapt that
principle to changed circumstances"

Ed KonetcIly. the star first base
man of the Pittsburgh Rebels may re
turn to National League diamonds this
spring. The rumor is current that
Percy Haughton is to meet Ed Gwin-
ner, president of the Pittsburgh Fed

Gwinner was endeaNoring to sell Kon-
etchy to the New York Giants a few
weeks ago, but Harry N. Hampstead
having Fred Merkle as his first string
man and Fred Brainerd as substitute
was inclined to be apathetic.
The Braves, however, are pinched
for a, man to step into the shoes OF
Charley Schmidt. who announced his
retirement from the game a few days
ago. Honey would be the right man
for the position. He generally hit up
around the 300 class, and last year

batters. and led the league in field
