BOB MACDONALD

veteran tournament player, winner
Of the Metropolitan open championship,
1921, and the Texas open champion
ship, 1922. Famous the world over
for his long distance driving.
The position Of the elbows varies but
there are several fundamental rules
concerning them which do not. The
elbows should never separate at the
halfway point of the swing. Both
must hug the body at the start and,
although they leave the body on tthe
up-swing, the distance between them
must not vary.

the opinion that many politicians sadly underestimate the resentment against which is felt by the masses of our people. Recent decisions of the Supreme court, for example, have shown this tendency in the minimum wage for women case, in the child labor case, in the Coronado case and in other cases.
 "I do not see how the issue thus created can be avoided by politicians. Neither do 1 see how there can be an escape from the consequences of such things as the shameful Teapot Dome oil scandal and the iniquitous Ship Subsidy bill I am convinced also that our attitude toward the rest of the world will strike a vital issue in the next campaign. I am convisced that on that issue there will be a sounder more constructive judgment than was rendered in the campaign of 1920
 Many matters thus will enter into the next campaign as issues, but all of these things will be summed up in the one great question of whether Government is to serve the people Or what has become popularly known as the interests"

rated>jobs will now have to go to the men. The men, like the good sports they are, didn't make very much of a holler about it but they did lot of thinking as the following quotation from the Postal Clerks magazine would indicate:
 Locally we hold no bias towards any clerks nationality, color, creed or sex We do not favor, however, spe- cial privilege for any class. For that reason we are against preferred as signments being given to female clerks under whatever pretext they are assigned. We know there are plenty of male clerks who have work ed for several years on the night tour and are several years senior in line of service to those who have been shown fayoritist. For the life of us we cant dig up any reason to show that those who have been assigned to better positions are any better qualified than those who are senior in given the choice.
 "Now that all the fair sex have been taken care of, we hope that in the fu- ture, for the benefit of the night clerks who have to drag sacks and stand in hours, something the women have never done here, will be given a chance to work themselves up in the same good spirit that night workers have recently been allowed to fill in the gaps in the day tour during vaca- tion
 No doubt the above problem could be handled we'll under a real seniority system. The Federation seems to be the only organization that is actually trying to remedy conditions. To withhold support from our organiza- ton now would be to defeat our aims"

 The owners reject the proposal for a 10 per cent. wage increase until ii has been made clear to them exactly upon whom the pay boost will be shouldered.
 The miners likewise are expected to reject the 10 per cent. figure, not so much because 1t is considered too low, but rather because, anticipating the operators refusal, they do not care to place themselves on record as favoring an increase exactly one-half of their original demand.
