Milwaukee. Wis, May 2s.-Johnny
ErtIe, the st. Paul bantam weight

Mike McNulty. is making an awful
roar about the way reports were sent
out from Pittsburg regarding
Johnny's six round tilt with Kid Ba-

Smoky city. Johnny and his manager
arrived in Milwaukee the other day
with affidavits and newspaper clip

won because he set the pace. al

very effective work AT close range,

Frtle to the wires that night and II
was put over proper. No wonder Ba-
rome wanted something out OF tire
fight. Il developed afterwards that
the Kids manager was interested IN
promoting the show and that after
Johnny was paid there remained
nothing for the Italian-not even a
postage stamp
However. reports sent out to news
papers by managers OF boxers are
not always what they should be as
regards veracity and II is pretty
good plan TO discount their value
Managers Of boxers would also gain

URGES MORE POWER FOR
WAR INDUSTRIES BOARD
National Chamber of Commerce Bull
letin Urges Price Control to Pre-
vent Impaired Distribution.

Need for greater powers for the newly
appointed war Industries board is
voiced in bulletin issusd today by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
More and more it becomes eviden,
that here, as in other countries at war
the normal business life is SO disrupted
by the war that concerted action is
necessary to prevent a breakdown in
the distribution of the country's out
put" says the bulletin. Continued re-
lance upon uncontrolled prices as the
basis of distribution in war is produc-
ing harmful results. AS a step toward
concerted action that will avoid such
results the war industries board must
receive a hearty welcome. This board
will accomplish much and will develop
the need for a board or department
with power-not power which comes
from friendly o-operation-but the
real power which compels action and
can be judged by results"
THE war industries board is not the
war board the need of which was
shown in a recent national chamber
war bulletin" continues the bulletin
later, but it lis a great step in the right
direction
AS stated in the official announce
ment. the appointment of the war in
dustries board, of which Frank A.
Scott, chairman of the General NUM-
tons board. is chairman, will lodge
responsibility for effective action as
definitely as is possible under existing
law
