mendations has ventured to propose
a substitute body to perform the
duties of the present Industrial Wei
fare Commission and remove it as far
as possible from politics, and at the
same time secure body that is more
specially trained along the lines of,
and more familiar with the problems
involved. We propose that the body
be composed of five members, as fol-
lows:
The director of the department of
labor and industries,
The assistant director in charge of
il dustlial insurance.
The assistant director in charge of
division of safety.
The industrial statistician.
The supervisor of women in in
dustry.
The latter also acting as executive
secretary. The personnel of this
group would have all the requisite
qualifications to intelligently handle
the problems presented.
COnclusiOns-If our plan is adopted
the administration Of approximately
10 agencies dealing with labor and
industries will be merged into one
department. The governor makes
but one appointment, (the director of
the department of labor and indus
tries) instead of 10, but the other
appointments are made by heads that
are directly responsible for their
work. The operation of this plan
should result in more coordination
and less duplication of work, and in
addition promote more economy and
efficiency.
A proper and intelligent admins
tration of the functions of the pro-
posed division of industrial relations
ought to insure to our state indus
trial peace. If there is a genuine de-
sire on the part of all parties for
industrial peace while securing and
maintaining their economic rights,
we believe that there is no reason
why this machinery, if created by
the state, should not be able to func-

PADDOCK MANAGER IN BAD WITH FANS
Gotham Scribe Accuses Me lady of "Squealing"
 Over Match

New York, February -(SpeeialD- It's much easier to get in bad with American sport fans than the ordinary mortal believes, according to Gene Me lady of Omaha, manager of Earl Cad dock, the wrestler. who recently lost his title to Joe stecher in match in New York city.
 Melady is now on the grill in some of the eastern sport circles, and while he claims he is innocent of any wrong doing, quite few of the sport writers are banning him unmercifully. Melady therefore speaks with some authority.
 After the Caddock- -StecheF match, Me- lady was speaking to some friends. In the course of the conversation he de- clared he felt sorry Earl had been de- feated, and then added that while he had accepted the match as such, it was really not championship affair in all that the term implies, although it was so regarded, because the articles called for but one fall as the deciding factos.
 Meladys statement to his friends was accepted by them in the spirit in which it was given. Those who heard it un- derstood thoroughly he was not making an alibi, but was merely taking himself to task for not insisting upon two falls Instead or one.
 The statement however, reached the ears of some ambitious scribe who dis torted or misunderstood the facts. and he made it appear that Melady was completely disregarding the agreement upon which the match was made and staged, and was trying to claim the title for Caddock in spite of the defeat.
 T have been Intimately associated with sports in general and with wrest- ling in particular for a number of years" said the Omaha promoter, "and this is the first time. I believe, that l have ever been accused of being a squealer. It's tough, I'll tell you, but guess l will have to forget it.'
 Melady says he never has any objec- tion to being quoted in the papers, but he cannot reconcile the attitude of any scribe who would plunge a man into disrespect through failure to collect facts, when it was so easy to get plain statement, T would have expressed the same views to the writer of that ar ticle, but I was denied that opportun- itys' Melady stated Melady has long been regarded as one of the grea test friends of the mat game in the country. He has promoted number of important matches in the middle west in recent years.

The Birmingham Athletic Club bas- keteers returned from University, Ala, yesterday, victorious but rather bruised up. The next game on the clubs schedule, namely. that with Mississippi A.

He finished out the 1916 season with Joliet Ill.,, in an independent team.
 In 1917 Perry reappeared in an At lanta uniform. He flashed sensa ational work that year and Connie Mack de- cided he was good enough for the Ath- leties. So he signed him and Perry, making his debut in 1918, performed in wonderful style.
 FIGHT BEGINS
 Right then and there George stai- lings, manager of the Braves, put in a claim for Perry. He declared Perry belonged to the Braves by some sort of arrangement with Atlanta and that Att lanta had no right to sell him to the Athletics. Stallings demanded that Mack turn Perry over to the Braves. The latter ignored him Stalhngs then took the case to the national commis- sion It decided in favor of StaHings, ruling that Perry was the legal prop erty of the Braves. The commission or dered Mack to turn over Perry to the Braves.
 Mack refused to do this and went into court and got an injunction restraining the Braves from interfering with Perry This kept Perry with the Attn leties through the 1918 season. At the end. Mac rather than risk further legal difficulties, paid s2,5 to the Boston cluD Tn 1uil settlement or lHelf cldims on Perry.
 Every one looked to Perry to accom- plish even more spectacular results in 1919 than he had, in 1918. But he achieved only three victories in twenty starts. Perhaps it. was the "razzing' of the fans perhaps it was something else that influenced him. But the point is that Perry jumped the Athletics, went to Franklin, Pa. and announced that he had quit his big league job-the job that he had worked nearly ten years to land.
 Perry pitched independent ball in Franklin through the balance of the 1919 season, and at it's close opened up tailor shop. He announced that he would never return to the big leagues, but a few weeks ago he got into com munication with Connie Mack.
 He'll be back with the Athletics in 1920, or all signs are wrong.

Scott Perry, Pitcher, Has
 Had Sensational Career
After Working Nearly Ten Years for Major League Berth Finally Lands One-Jumps the Team
 Will Probably Return
nr JAMEs J. coRnErr.

The career of Scott Perry is one of the strangest in baseball history. For it deals with a pitcher who labored nearly ten years in the bushes had numerous big league try-outs and couldn't make good during his early youth, who arrived" as he neared the limit of baseball players prime, and then in fique quit his job
 And on top of this Perry precipitated baseball row that nearly sent the two big leagues into warfare. The situation became so acute that the civil courts were invoked in an effort to settle the question of ownership. Connie Mack won, in certain sense. but hardly had he secured full and undisputed possess sion than Perry quit big league base ball and opened a tailor shop in Frank lin Pa.
 Perry born in Corsicana, Tex, in 1882, began his professional career with the Tulsa club, in the Western Associa- tion He started the 1911 season with Hastings, Neba but finished the /year with Pueblo, in the Western League, which club purchased him for $200

Then he was sent to Louisville in a trade. He stayed with that team until the middle of the 1915 season. His work there attracted the attention of the St. Louis Browns and they took Perry and decided to give him a try-out.
 But Perry showed nothing worth while. So the Browns turned him over to Atlanta and he pitched for that club until midsummer of 1916 A Cub scout saw him at work and Perry was pur- chased by the Cubs The price was $3.500. But Perry didn't shine and was waived along to the Reds in 1917. Perry showed nothing with the Reds. Then the Braves took him, but without giving him chance to work in the big league game, told him to return to At lanta But Perry wouldn't go, at once,
