tion, with little help from the majors, went broke.
 The climax came in 1918 when the Ma tional league decided to invade Interna- tional league territory by playing Sum day baseball games in Newark, N. J.
 The conditions under which the minor leaguers have labored are not different than those with which the players have had to contend. There is no real req son why players should not have at least one voice in the operation of base ball affairs. They have certain interests that should be protected; they certainly should have A voice in conducting at least some of basebalrs affairs
 Yet, in the past, this has been denied them and by that very denial the ruling powers of baseball have shown spirit of unfairness.
 If the national commission is reorgan- ized this winter--and it should be-in the opinion of practically every lover of baseball--a five man affair-not one man or three man organization. The new national commission should be com posed as follows: A representative of the National league; one from the American; one who acts as spokesman for the minors: one for the players. And the fifth member should be some outside man who is not identified in any way with baseball, but who will serve merely be- cause he loves it as a sport.

Supervision Over Water
 Carriers by I. c. c.
 Is Urged in Report

Washington, December 3.-A recom- mendation of army engineers that the interstate commerce commission be re- quired to exercise the same supervision over water carriers that 1t does over rail carriers, is contained in a report on the development of transportation on the Ohio river, forwarded to Congress today by Secretary Baker.
 The engineers also recommended that the commission be authorized to fix minimum and maximum rates for freight movement by water and that all common carriers, whether water or rail, be re- quired to issue through bills of ladlng and prorate on such terms as the inter- state commerce commission or other established authority may prescribe as just and equitable.

tural commerce with Rumania and Serbia, particularly Serbia. This caused agit<- tion which played a large part in events leading to the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. It is pointed out that such federation Is demanded by the internal trade of the former em- pire, since Czecho-Slovakia needs mar ket for it's coal, iron, sugar, glass and leather, while German-Austria has ln- dustrial or ganizations to use the raw products. Vienna is also banking center. On the other hand. the Hun garians and Jugo-Slavs will have food stuffs to sell to the other republics.
 Some leading German-Austrians de- clare that the organization of such federation should be settled at the peace congress, because, they say, it would be impossible to secure an agreement among the republics if they were permitted to settle it among themselves. An Ameri- can resident in Vienna says that one obstacle to an agreement between the new republics is that the populations are unwilling to forget things that Happened a century or two ago. He says that the population of the former empire is no more mixed than are the European peoples who have gone to America.

R0AD EMBARGOES
 ID BE LESS STRICT
Carrying Out of Embargo Policies in Past Greatly
 Lessened Congestion

Washington, December. s.-Railroad embargoes this winter probably will not be nearly so severe as last winter, said statement today by the railroad ad- ministration in response to inquiries from shippers as to the transportation outlook
 The consistent carrying out of these policies" said the statement referring to embargoes, 'has resulted in an excep- tional degree of freedom from eonges- tion during the period of heavy business this fall and there are now outstanding no general embargoes against the free movement of traffic. In this respect transportation conditions are much bet ter than for several years past at this season of the year.
 At the same time. if difficult condi- tions do arise unexpectedly the only way to deal effectively with them will be through the prompt use of measures which will prevent the railroads from being elogged."

Huhhard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New ork, December 3.-The market to- day was steadier and it appeared at least for the present the liquidation of long cotton for Japanese account had been completed. As the selling for this interest was thought to represent the purchases of spot cotton in the south and the closing of long hedges, the sell ing had a very depressing effect yester- day and early this morning. Later the market improved on a somewhat better trade demand and some speculative buy ing based upon the report of a small crop estimate from this national ginners which was thought to indicate small estimate from this government next week. The market closed at the best price for the day and further recovery is an- ticipated, Reports from dry goods cir cles. however. are not optimistic and as yet we do not see that the general Sit uation has undergone any nlateria. change.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Greet Sport Topics
Dy JAMES ]. CORBETT

Any encouragement of the national commission which does not give repre- sentation to the minor leagues and to the players as well, cannot be construed as just one.
 Some of basebalrs leaders who oppose the continuation of the present form of national commission have been advo- eating one man affair. But such a plan does not appeal with force to any man who has at heart tha full interest of every faction identified with the pro- fessional end of the national pastfme.
 Considerable of the trouble which has come about in the past between players and magnates and between the moguls of the majors and minors. has been due to the fact that neither the minor league magnates nor the players have had a voice in directing basebalrs affairs. And that is remarkable situation when one remembers that the game could not be Ilayed without the players and that the major league would be fearfully handi- capped if they could not draw from the minors.
 It is more than passing strange that the minor league club owners calmly have countenanced conditions that have existed ever since the formation of or- ganized baseball. For nearly 15 years they have had to stand for anything that the majors wanted them to stand for; they have had to do just exactly as the majors demanded. The minors may have ideas of their own which conflict with those of the majors-but the minors had to submit to the views and to the orders from the major leaguers.
 And what makes it all the more re- markable is that the investment of all the minor leaghe club owners Is prob- ably as much as that represented in the l6 major league clubs Year after year the minors have had approximately as much money at stake as have the two big leagues-yet while the big leagues were protected, the minors were abso- lutely unprotected in a direct way.
 It was the assumption of baseball fans when organized baseball was cre- ated that the whole organization was to be a fraternal one; the big were to help the little and the little were to help the big. Through all the days that organ ized baseball has existed the little fel- lows have been helping the big ones by developing players and serving as reservoir from which the major leagues have drawn their supply of stars. But the major leaguers have shown no kindly spirit toward the minors. When the minors were in trouble during the dark days of Federal league activity and also during the darker ones of 1917 and 191S the majors neVer lifted q hand to help them And so many of the minor leagues went onte the financial rocks and many a minor league magnate who might have escaped financial destruc-

1919 Wheat Price of
 $2.26 Will Continue

Washington. December 3.-The guaran- teed price for the 1918 wheat, fixed at $2.26 bushel, Chicago basis, will stand even though the Lever act under which the price was fixed should become inop- erative through conclusion of peace, in the opinion of the food administration The administration tonight issued a statement interpreting the Lever act and pointing out that the law provides that "all rights or liabilities under this act arising before it's termination shall con tinue and may be enforced in the same manner as if the act had not termi- nated.'' Wheat growers in many parts of the country 1t was said, have become apprehensive that the guaranteed price for 1919 might be rescinded through con- clusion of peace.

HUNTSVILLE


 Huntsville, December 3.-(SpeciaD That Madison county is still holding it's supremacy attained three or four~years ago, of being the largest cotton produc- ing county in Alabama, is shown by the census report on cotton ginned up to November A. On that date 24,617 bales had been ginned. Dallas county stands next on the list with 22,79S bales ginned. The ginnings up to that date in this coun- ty are larger than ever known before and all but smah percentage of the crop had been handled, it is estimated.
 The fall term of circuit court, which was postponed in October because of the influenza epidemic raging at that time, is now in session with Judge Rob- ert c. Brickell presiding. Court will re- main in session several weeks. The grand jury is holding it's semi-annual sessions with w. l.. Lyle, commission merchant, as foreman.
 Because of the small number of phy- sicians left in Madison county since the war began and because of the death of several of them during the influenza epidemic, Dr. Grote, county health of ficer recently made application to the surgeon general for the release about four of the medical officers who have gone into the army from here. He hat received a reply that arrangements are now being made to comply with his re- quest.

AUSTRIAN REPUBLICS ARE CONF FRONTED BY TWO B|G PROBLEMS
Peasants Believe Democracy Means Socialism and Want Royal Family Assassinated
 in Order to Please Wilson

Vienna. Thursday, November &.-(By the Associated Press 1.-Two big prob lems confront the republics which have arisen from the ruins of the Hapsburg empire. First, it is becoming daily more difficult to maintain internal order until the peace conference and, second, Will the decision of the peace conference real ly solve the racial and commercial ques- tions which are now more urgent than ever.
 The first problem involves internal con- ditions in each republic and also between the republics. Relations between the governments and the situations within each republic depends on food, coal and living conditions. The common people do not yet Understand that order and freedom are synonymous terms.
 When it suits their political conven- fence the residents of the former em. pire readily declare they are acting ac- cording to the spirit of Presdsnt Will sons messages, so much so that the peas ants, who generally are a hard-headed and conservative lot. have begun to think that democracy means socialism or an- Rrchy.

WILL ASK CONSIDERATION


 The delegates of the German-Austrian government at the peace conference prob- ably will endeavor to obtain permission to form some sort of commercial fed eration within the limits of the old em- -pire. They have dropped the plan of joining the German federation since they feel that the allies are not willing to permit. They declare that one of the mistakes of the old rulers of Austria Hungary was to compel the use of the Terma language in Austria and the Magyar language in Hungary. This mis- take, they say, should be rectified by granting autonomy to each race as well as separate schools and separate churches.
 The Danube federation plan has been altered somewhat. As outlined now it 2 wout1 be a. purely economic arrange ment permitting the contindance of the new governments as pofts tde di-- -ssgr eiiesies, but with the Cvecho-SlovaiSs, German Austrians, Rumahians, Hungarians and Jugo-Slavs all joined commercially in using the Danube route to the Mediter- ranean The federation also would take over the port of Triest, if the peace conference insists that it be neutral ized.
