CHAMPIONSHIPS
WILL BE REAL
There Will Be No More champion
ships" in Trapshooting Other Than
Those Sanctioned BY American
Trapshooting Association.
BY PETER p. CARNEY

In order to lessen, so far as pos
sible any depreciation in the value and
attractiveness of standard trapshoot-
ing championship such as the state,
zone and national, all of which are
registered by the American Trapshoot-
ing association, the combined execu-
tive committees of that association
have adopted this rule:
"The use of the word championship
in connection with any competition
at registered targets IS prohibited UNI
less special permission for use of same
Is obtained from the American Trap
shooting association"
This is q mighty good rule. For
years there has been all kinds of
championships in trapshooting. Sew
eral years ago the writer took up the
question, showed the weakness of so
many so-called championships and
declared that for the welfare of the
sport IL would be best to eliminate
all the events that were not cham
pionships in anything except name.
No action could be obtained then but
Il is refreshing TO know that the
question raised several years ago has
lived In the memory OF some, and that
the championships hereafter win be
real ones.
Another new rule adopted by the
combined committees Is of interest
to professional shooters. In the past
a professional with an average under
90 per cent could return to the anna
teur ranks one year after ending his
professional career, but IL his average
was above 80 per cent the shooter had
TO wait three years. The committee
by the new rule makes 1t possible for
my professional to again shoot with
the amateurs one year after his re-
tirement as a professional no matter
what his average may be.
The Pacific coast will be divided in
two sections this year. northern and
southern, so that there will be six
trapshooting zones in 1921. The north
ern section will contain Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana. British Co
lumbia and Alberta. The southern sec
ton will take a California, Arizona,
Nevada, Utah.
Taking notice of the increased in
terest In trapshooting in the canal
zone. the A. T. A. announced that If
the shooters of that section cared to
form an association similar to the as
sociations in tho state, with no less
than rs members, and conduct a
championship tournament it would
contribute $3.50 towards the expenses
OF the champion TO the Grand Amer
lean handicap.

through the motions of sparring with
Major A. J.. Biddle, former president
and director.
A cable from Mr.. Gavin sent to
George Sweeney, manager of Hotel
Commodore, upon Mr.. Gavin's arrival
in England, was read and in which the
late president Of the club resents the
insnuation that he was running the
club secretly and insists he understood
the supervision of it's affairs at great
personal sacrifice.
He calls attention to the fact that
the international Sporting Club
through his efforts was able to legalizc
boxing in the State of New York. put
the game on higher plane and form
national association of boxing that Is
now represented in forty-five states of
the Union.
Gutzon Borglum, the noted sculptor
who took over the affairs of the club
after Mr. Gavin had sailed, made des-
perate efforts to find some method
that would lead to the rehabilitation
or reorganization Of the sporting club
and he has not given up the fight yet
In his opinion the financial condition
is not so precarious as it appears on
the surface and that the club could be

Rail Wage Cut Notices
To Go Out Tomorrow

Representatives of the iifty-two East
ern railroads that are proceeding to
put into effect cut in the wages of
employees ranging from 10 to 80 per
cent announced yesterday that notices
will be sent out tomorrow setting
January 16 as the date when confer,
ences with the workers will begin
This is change from December is,
the date originally contemplated. and
was made necessary by recent ruling
Of the United States Railroad Labor
Board recurring the roads to state spe-
cifically in their communication to the
employees the extent of the. wage cut
proposed. This was not done IN the
first notice to the men,. ,
There is no doubt that when the
railroad managers meet with the train
men and representatives of the shop
crafts the latter will refuse to discuss
any proposals involving a reduction.
Leaders of the six unions affiliated with
the Federated Shop Crafts already
have notified the managers of their
intention to ask an increase of 13 cents
an hour over the present scale of n
cents an hour.

Approved After Inquiry

Following the reports OF two auditing
firms and five hours of warm debating
among some three hundred members of
the international Sporting Club, which
met last night at the Hotel Commodore
it was moved to appoint committee
with full power to take such steps as
they may deem wise to protect the IN
terests Of the members. The action was
construed as tantamount to winding up
the affairs Of the international Sport
ing Club and it's kindred associations.
It was practically conceded by ma
jority of the members that the organi-
cations is insolvent and its affairs
should be wound up and some method
found to dispose of its outstanding liza
bilities. According to the reports of

outside the hotel as soon as it be-
, came known that raid was in
progress. The news spread with great
rapidity and within few minutes
there were scores of automobiles
parked outside. Patrolmen were de-
tailed to keep pedestrians moving.
Similar excitement prevailed at the
other places raided. The crowd outside
Healy's became so dense that police
intervention was necessary to clear the
street.
Search was made of Healy's at II
O'clock The dining room was crowded
with diners and dancers. Both dining
and dancing came to full stop.
George d. Cook, who described him
self as one of the owners, was arrested
and taken to the West Sixty-eighth
Street station. A summons was left
for Healy as proprietor. Agent Estes
said lated that as soon as he entered
buzzers began sounding in all direc-
tions. This. he said, was the signal
for everything to go under cover. A
quantity Of champagne is said to have
been seized with other liquids.
The Cafe de Paris search began at
1850 o'clock. By that time the news
had spread up and down Broadway
thousand had congregated outside the
cafe. The raid in this instance proved
barren. One bottle Of whisky is said
to have been found under dining
room table, but no large quantities of
contraband were discovered, though the
place was subjected to an intricate ex-
animation. James Merrick, manager,
and John Brown, assistant manager.
with five walters, were arrested and
taken to the West Forty seventh Street
station.
The next stop Of the RAID leaders was
at the Little Club, where Agent Reager's S
squad had been holding more than 100
guests under restraint The theater
crowd in Forty-fourth Street, appar-
emily unaware of the nature of the
raid, swarmed in upon Reager's men
and forced them to give ground. The
curious throng continued to grow until
the search was over and the agents de-
parted. Those arrested at the club
were Hugh McGinty, doorman: Michael
Collie head waiter, and Felix Bisci,
captain of walters. They also were
taken to the West Forty-seventh Street
station.
Agent Estes said after the raid that
he had been working for some time
with number of men gathering evil
dence on Broadway and in streets in
the theater district. The threat was
reiterated that New York on New
Years Eve will be as dry as Sahara.

have posed during preliminary inves-
tigation as prosperous Western busi-

Hoover Reports
$4,000, Cut
Ina His Budget
Saving Will Total One-sixth
of Appropriations; He
Says "a Thorough Reor-
ganization Is Needed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1r.-Secrctary
Hoover m his first annual report, made
public to-day. tells President Harding
that the establishment of real De-
pnrtment of Commerce, defective in
service to producers, manufacturers
and distributors, able to give economic
interpretation of Importance to the
American public generally and to
stimulate American trade and merchant
marine requires "a thorough reor-
ganization and entire regrouping Of
Federal functions bearing on these
problems" He adds, however, that in
asmuch as these matters are now ac-
lively be ore Congress and the Admin
istration it is not necessary on this
occasion TO enter into discussion of
them.
AS assumed office on March 4,
l"2l," the Commerce Secretary writes
the President, "this report covers but
four months of the administration Of
the department under my direction.
The new administration during this
tour months devoted itself to two pri-
mary questions:
First Reorganization Of the de-
partmental expenditures.
Second Reorganization Of those
bureaus concerned with industry and
trade, that they may become of more
effective service to the community.
Inc results Of reorganization cna-
bled revision Of the estimates @ ex-
penditures for the fiscal year 1921 100.
so that while the total appropriations
available for tho department for this
period are $24,222, 1872, yet it now seems
probable that the expenses during this
ilscal year will approximate $4,000 900.
showing a total saving of about s4,-
100000, or 16 Pa per cent OF the avail
able appropriations.
The results of reorganization Of
the bureaus concerning industry and
trade are in part indicated by the in
crease in volume of demand upon the
department for helpful action or in
formation. These demands have now
reached rate of over s5OO,O0O wear.
THE further practical results to
American commerce and industry will
be more evident later in the year, and
comment upon them can best be de-
ferred until results have been further
realized"
Secretary Hoover calls attention to the
fact that while the total foreign trade OF
the nation decreased by $3,176,626, 900
during the last fiscal year, there was
a slight increase in the visible
balance of trade in favor of the United
States as result Of the years opera
tions.
An increase of 100000 tons in the
American merchant marine during the
last fiscal year is noted in the report.
The number of ships on last June 80
was 2S,500 of 18.350OO0' gross tons.
compared with 2s,1s3 Of 1924 ,o24
gross tons on June 80, 1920 The
years increase compares with 3,400,-

Special Meeting of Employ

Likely To Be More Than ST.
Day Cut, Which Workers
Rejected Last Summer

:. Possibility Of wage reductions at.
feeting 10000 organized workers un-
der the jurisdiction of the Building
Trades Council, of which Robert P
Rrindell was the former head, became
evident yesterday when it was learned
that the board of governors of the
Building Trade Employers Association
would hold special meeting to-mor-
row afternoon at so West Thirty-third
Street to draw up proposals for a new
working agreement. The employers
association is made up of $40 con.
tractors.
Except brSklayers, plasterers and
engineers, who are now paid at the
rate of $40 for an eight-hour day, the
pay of the building trades workers is
50 a day. Lower building costs, re-
duced costs of living, which are dis
puted by union officials representing
the workers. and generally increased
building activities this year are factors
making for the proposed readjustment
IN wages.
That the readjustment will be down
ward was not denied by members of
the employers association YESTERDAY
when it was recalled that the associa-
tlon last summer asked the EMPLOYEES
to accept a reduction of 81 a day, with
the warning that unless the proposed
scale was accepted the employers
would be compelled to act upon the
expiration on december 81 of the two
year agreement now in effect.
The answer of the employees at that
time was that the employers have to
adhere to the contract. The outcome
OF those negotiations leads to the be-
lief that the employers will seek to
enforce more drastic cut than the 81
day reduction proposed several
months ago, although officials of the
employers association declined to say
just what action is contemplated at
the meeting tomorrow.
Christian G. Norman, chairman of
the board of governors of the Building
Trad>s Employers Association, was
quoted yesterday as saying that the
employers would be willing to give "a
iai. days pay for fair days work.
5. b. Donnelly, secretary of the as
so''ation. said statement probably
would be given out after the meeting
tomorrow. There was no assurance,
however, he said, that any decision
would be reached at this meeting.
Patrick J. Crowley, Brindell's sue
cessor as president of the Building
Trades Council, said any move to re-
ducc wages would be resisted.

Telephone Company Says 1t
Lost Sc. 900 i'm 1920
Special Dispatoh to The rrlbu,

ALBANY, Dec. 1.-THE State Public
Service Commission to-day resumed its
inquiry into the affairs of the New
York Telephone Company to discover
the most efficient and just way of de-
termining phone rates on a statewide
basis. The principal witness was II.
A. Trax, chief accountant for the tele-
phone company, who declared the COM
pany fell short by S6.5OO,OO0 of meet
ing its financial obligations in 1920.
This, he said, was due to high operat-
ing costs and low operating revenues
. situation, he said, which was respon-
sible for the drive made a year ago
for increased telephone rates.
