HARTLEY-ULREY

Mr.. and Mrs. c. ]. Hartley, of
Newport, former residents of Paris,
have announced the marriage of
their daughter, Miss Anna Mae
Hartley, to Mr.. Neil Ulrey, of Beth
ell, Ohio, the ceremony being SOL
emnized in Newport on March 18th.

young woman, was a pupil at the

an excellent record. She was very
popular with a large circle of
friends who wish her a long and
happily married life.

BASE BALL

The contract for charging the
grandstand, building bleachers and
fencing to enclose the ball park for
the local team has been awarded to
Eads & Boaz. The park which was
used by the Ruggles team during
the 1921 season will be the home of
the Blue Grass League team for,
this season. The work of making
improvements on the grounds is
we'll under way, and everything
will be in readiness for the exhibit
ton game to be played with the
Boston Red Sox team of the Ma
tional League, on Saturday, April 8.
The committee appointed to So
licit funds from local merchants
and fans of Paris for stock in the
local team have been very successful
in their campaign. Their efforts
have met with a ready response,
and as result, the club will start
on solid financial footing, some
thing very essential to it's welfare.
A suggestion has been made that
the winner of the Blue Grass League
pennant, which may be either Paris,
Lexington, Winchester, Mt. Ster-
ling, Maysville or Cynthiana, ar
range a post-season Kentucky cham
ppionship series with the X. I. T.
a.eague, recently formed in Western
kentucky with eight clubs as mem
bers. 1t is considered very probable
that such a series will be arranged
While the salary limit in the new
Blue Grass League does not permit
the hiring of high-priced players it
offers an excellent opportunity to
the youngsters who need polishing
up before going to the big leagues.
/ There are dozens of good players
under twenty-one throughout Cen
ing and try-out in the new
League.
| Managers and club directors of the
six teams in the League are being
flooded with letters from ambitious
ball players asking for a trial.
Many of them write that they will
pay their own expenses until they
make good. They appreciate the
fact that if they go we'll in this
League they will be sent up to a
Glass B or c organization at or be-
! fore the end of the season.
A number of shrewd club owners
have been looking over the college
candidates in the State, and expect
to have the signatures of several to
! their contracts. Under the rulings
of the Southern intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association college youths may
play summer ball as long as the sal
airy does not exceed 81 per day, in
Guiding expenses. The Blue Grass
League will be a boon to the boys
(. who believe they have the ability
to break into, fast company and
want a chance to show what they
can do.
Manager B. F. Goodman, of the
Paris team, is one of the most con-
scientious and able men in the
League, and what he says can be
relied on. Mr. Goodman says when
the Paris team is completed and put
in the field it will be an aggrega-
ton that will make the Paris fans
sit up and take notice. While the
selection of players has not been
given undue attention as yet, Mr.
Goodman says Paris has it's eye on
some good ones, who will help Paris
to take a place. in the front rank.

i'll which railroad officials had a per sonal pecuniary interest.
 Prices paid by these railroads for repairs are proven by the commis- sion's examiners to have cost from four to six times what the work was actually worth.
 The railroads were laying off thou sands of men when these contracts were being farmed out, and it is proven that their motive power was never in better condition, there be- ing, therefore no justification for these raids save that railroad man. agers saw a good chance to reap some personal profit at the expense of Uncle Sam.
 Total Graft Is $7so,ooo,ooo
 w. H. Johnston, in brief filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission, declares that the Government was de fraudcd of more than $75o,ooo, 900 through these fake contracts during the six months guaranty period.
 4 decision has not yet been made in the cases already investigated, and it is assumed that none will be made until examiners have completed their investigations and hearings accorded all arrangements accused of having participated in this orgy of graft at the cost of the Government.

WALLACE IS ALLY OF LABOR ENEMIES
 SAYS A. FL. MAN
Alleges Statistics of Business Costs '. Are Put Out to Aid
 Employers.

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has announced that increased wages paid labor resulted in nearly doubling the cost of selling trough retail stores in 1921, as compared with IoI3."
 C. C. Coulter, vcie-president of the Retail Clerks International Protec- tive Association, declares the depart ment of agriculture statement is un- true.
 "The idea is ridiculous" said Coul- ter Wages of retail clerks have mot gone up to any such extent. What has pushed up the retail prices and kept them up are:
 First, the hunger for profits.
 Second, the increase in rents.
 "The retail clerk is not responsible; retail labor has an alibi, and it feels that alibi in every pay envelope"
 The fact is, as explained by Mr. Coulter, that retail prices could go down and wages of clerks could go up if profits were cut down to mod crate figure.
 The department of agriculture says the accounts of more than 400 retail stores were examined in preparation O fthe report Coulter says he would like to have a look at those books.

l. (. (. WILL RESUME ITS INQUIRY INTO
 BIG REPAIR GRAFT
Central of New Jersey Must Explain Some Suspicious Phases of
 Its Contracts.
GOVERNMENT DEFRAUDED
Three Quarters of Billion Estimated as Sum Looters Got in
 Guaranty Period.

The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion is about to resume its public hearings into extravagant contracts made by railroads during the six month period following the return of the roads to private management. The Government was then guarantee ing railroad expenditures.
 On March B, at the Department of Justice building in New York, special examiners will call before them offic- ials of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and endeavor to secure from them satisfactory explanation of the diversion of locomotive contracts to private concerns.
 The Central of New Jersey sent its locomotives to Baldwin's and the American Locomotive Co. and paid several times what the same repairs would have cost had they been made in the company's own shops.
 It Is the contention of Interstate Commerce Commission inspectors that cost-plus contracts made by the railroad resulted in the Government being robbed of large sums of money.
 Besler Knew of Bad Deals.
 That the officials of the railroad de- hberately sought to impose unjust burdens upon the Government is evi- denced by the following letter writ ten by w. E. Gesler, president and general manager, to C. E. Chambers, superintendent of motive power, in structing the latter to hurry up bills on locomotive repairs, that they might be transferred to Government account:
 Your letter of March 31, with ref erence to 35 locomotives to Baldwin s and IS of the American Locomotive, all of which is approved, and hope you will have the work pushed to the very limit in the matter of early com pletion, so we may have bill within the shortest possible time, certainly before September I, at which time the guarantee period expires.
 "Please have the locomotive com panies understand that time is the es- sence of this entire matter, for reas- ons above stated, and also follow up regularly with the locomotive com panies, so that we will not have an other situation as we had with the American Car & Foundry Co.,, which had the order for 1000 cars but scarcely got started upon it."
 Car Contract Went Down.
 The concluding sentence has refer ence to a contract made by the Cen tral of New Jersey during federal con- trol, but which did not go through be- cause, as President Besler states, the contractor didn't get started early enough to have the bill put over or the Government.
 Previous investigations made by the Interstate Commerce Commission disclosed that the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, the Seaboard Air Line, the Chicago & North Western the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Chicago, Burlington & Quin- cy had deliberately defrauded the Government of hundreds of millions of dollars through the manipulation oi repair contracts awarded to concerns

 Before the ink was dry on the con tract navy department officials laid of additional workers at several yards, thus increasing unemployment. Sug- gestions made by Samuel Gompers and other spokesmen for the work CTS for the utilization of government lants for government work have been completely ignored by navy yard officials.
 The welfare of government em- ployes is apparently the least concern of fedora loficers. and there is appre- hension that the gradua lworking out of the present policy of the admins tration will terminate in the closing down of practically all government owned plants. That will mean that a considerable portion of ship repairs

and other government work will be turned over to private contractors.
 Members of Congress have gained an impression from Secretary of the Navy Denby that he will recommend the closing of all but the New York and Norfolk navy yards fan attempt IS made to cut the appropriation for the enlisted personnel
 Denby is Making Threats.
 He may even go to the length of urging that government yards be sold or leased. In that event the nation. in war and peace, would be completely at the mercy of private manufac- turers.
 The policy of the navy depart ment," said a prominent labor leader who has been endeavoring to per suade the government to turn over its work to its own yards, "is the logical working out of the program, , Tess government in business I shall not be surprised if the final policy of the administration is akin to that of railroads which are farming out shall have over the Washington navy yard the sign. Subsidiary of the Bethlehem Steel Co., National pro- lection will be in the hands of the prohteer."
 Satisfied that nothing is to be gain ed by continuing their appeals to the executive departments, the workers now propose directing their attention to Congress. When the naval appro- priation bill is up for consideration, few weeks hence, an effort will be made to secure an amendment direct ing the navy department to order all repairs made in Government plants, and also stipulating that materials and supplies needed by Government de- partments shall be secured from the same sources.
 Another amendment to be offered will attempt to decommercialize war l by providing that war materials shall be manufactured only in Government plants.

ways quick to see and grab at a chance to exploit women workers. Already one can almost see the followers of Gary and men of his ilk, tearfully and plausi- bly pleading the rights of women" and the freedom of contract" What they really are pleading for is the advantage of the employer and it cannot be denied that, consciously or unconsciously, the National Wonian's Party is lending its inf1uenie in facor of such an advantage.
 It is earnestly to be hoped that all or ganizations and associations of citizens that believe i'll the protection of woman hood, will unite with the Woman's Trade Union League in the brave fight it is carrying on against the powerful forces that are furthering legislation both fed eral and state, which will create so much hardship for women workers and do SO much to lessen standards which were secured only after thirty years of effort and hard fighting. <
 It looks very much as if the National Woman's Party is attempting to kill all our womens welfare and protective laws by smothering them with this so-called blanket amendment"
