TO AID UTILITIES
INCREASE INCOME
Federal Action to Help Them
Get Needed Rate
Raises Needed

Washington, March 11.-SevsraI
Government departments have un.
der consideration the organization
of a board to hear cases involving
disputes over rates between local
authorities and street car. gas and
electric companies and other public
utilities and to make recommenda-
tions. No legal power woud be
sought to provide for the carrying
out of this recommendation, de-
pendance being placed upon moral
influence.
The proposal was discussed with
President Wilson before his depar-
ture for Europe and his approval
was asked. Some announcement of
the Governments course is expected
soon.
The need for some sort of Fed
eral action to stimulate the consid-
Grafton by local authorities of util-
tiles applications for higher rates,
grows out of the fact that wages
and costs of materials still are ris-
ing, and in many cases higher
wages have been granted at the or
der of the War Labor Board.
City councils, utilities commissions
and other local authorities have
been slow to act on applications for
higher rates to meet increased op-
Grating costs, according to reports
to the War Finance Corporation,
War Labor Board and Labor De-
partment.

Although Madras has been brought
up in the Greco-Roman style OF

to the more skillful catch-as-catch-

Pole, who ranks as one of the great

Both men have agreed 20 the
terms outlined by Sergeant Maxwell
Baumann, who is promoting the
match. The struggle will be best
two out of three falls and bout
filled with hair-raising thrills is
promised. Sergeant Baumann, who
is a former wrestler and who taught
wrestling and in-fighting at Camp
Dix, will act as the third man in
the ring.
Baumann wired to both Zbyszko
and Ed (Strangler) Lewis so that he
would be sure to have either one
of the topnotchers in the country
here for the opening bout, and was
inclined to think he would be more
likely to get Lewis. But at the last
moment it was discovered that
Lewis had another engagement so
Zbyszko was accordingly secured.
Each of these two noted wrestlers
has recently won a victory over Joe
Stecher. AS Madras is very anxious
for a match with Lewis as we'll as
Zbyszko, the match here should
prove a wonderful fight as the win
ner is sure to have first choice in
coming match with Lewis.

|RATHER EAT DIRT

Vice President Marshall EX-
presses Opinion on League

Phoenix, Ariz., March 11.-Voic-
ing his personal performane to "eat
a little dirt rather than to have an
other war" and declaring with re-
gard to the League of Nations that

against entangling alliances times
have changed" Thomas r. Marshall,
vice-president of the United States,
yesterday gave his views to a joint
session of the Arizona legislature.
Vice President Marshall disclaim-
ed any intention to campaign for the
league, but asserted that America
was faced with the choice either of
Joining in some plan to prevent fu-
ture wars or of preparing Immediate
ly for the next outbreak.
While / would be forever against
anything which would besmirch the
honor of our flag or lessen the grand
ness and glory of the American peo-
pie, yet l am convinced that we are
facing a new era and that things
must be different in the future" Mr.
Marshall said.
I'VE have piled up an enormous
debt: spent billions on useless en-
gines of war to kill our fellowmen,
and for myself 1 have seen so many
of our boys come back shattered and
know of so many others who will
not come back, that 1 would rather
eat a little dirt than have another
war. On the other hand there are
certain great questions for which it
would be better to fight, and if 1
thought there was anything in this
League of Nations to lower the self
respect of the United States, then
/ would rather fight; but L do not
think there is"

New York, March 11.-Describing
certain court martial sentences in

make Bolsheviki of our young men,"
United States Senator George Il.
Chamberlain, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on military affairs,
sharply criticised court martial pro-
cedure in an address before the Unit
ed Waist League of America here
yesterday.
These sentences are imposed alb
solutely without any system in the
administration of the criminal laws
of the land" he said, "and they are
really imposed at the order of the
commanding officer because if the
court makes a ruling which is un-
popular to the commanding officer
he will order the court reconvened
and in some cases issue instructions
to it."
Referring to long sentences which
had been imposed for slight infrac-
tions of the rules Senator Chamber
lain said that "these boys know that
an injustice has been done them and
it will not increase their respect for
the government"
