oLink. and Dave ogiIvie,1 the Oak
wood professional. tied at 147.
Jim Barnes, the national open
champion, on past performances,
is the most dangerous of those be-
low this number. His card was "a,
wits IS on the third and nth
holes. He was trapped on his
drive at the first of these and on
his second shot at the second. In
his two rounds he has been unable
to get down a good putt. but his
philosophy is that they must drop
sometime" Although ten strokes
behind the leader he has staged
too many comebacks to be regarded
as out of the reckoning.
Laurie Ayton. OF Evanston, re-
habilitated his chances by tying
Bobby Jones at 20 for the best
round of the day. He putted for
brides on. the third and fourth
greens but took 8 puts on the

tremely easy puts at the tenth and

to make comparisons with other
tournaments by reason of the diff
ferent character of the courses, but
no previous Western championship
has produced so many low scores
Atmospheric conditions have been
ideal and II they are the same to-
morrow the final half of the race is
bound to be a hummer.
.Sixty-seven players qualified for

highest total to gain the eligible
list

Backbone Broken"

While no official announcement was
made by the labor board, it was in
timated by members that the deci-
sion on rules and working conditions
Will not be forthcoming until after
October 80, the date set for the pro-
posed strike by the big five"
Members let it become known that
all decisions on questions on which
there might be a strike will be with
held until after that date, explaining
that in that way it was hoped the
walkout would be averted as the men
have been ordered by the board not
to strike until after the hearing OF
rail and union chiefs which starts
Wednesday.
The board announces tonight that
it was summoning 400 general chair
men of the unions affected as well as
the presidents. The sessions will be
open to the public. and large at
tendance is expected.
Railroad officials tonight expressed
the belief that the back bone of he
proposed strike was broken when
majority of the standard unions, who
control most of the railroad employ
cs. decided not to strike October 30.
Although a strike would affect all
train service men, officials said that
service would not be impaired for
more than n day or two and that
these men would be quickly replaced.

freight rates on grain, grain products

average of approximately 16 per cent.
Notice was given the carriers that
the commission expected the reduction
to be put into effect Immediately and
by Nov. 90 at the latest, and that the
low state of railroad earnings. which
led to the increases in 1919 should
hereafter be rectified by reductions in
wages and prices and that a down

rates.
The decision was rendered in the
case brought TO the commission Sep,

railroads.
The decision removes from wheat
and hay one-half of the increase given
the railroads in 1920 and on all other
grains fixes the rates at 10 per cent.
