CLOAKMAKERS STRIKE
IN PHILADELPHIA TO
OBTAIN EQUALIZATION

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4.-Fifteen
hundred cloakworkers employed in
55 shops have quit work here in
response to a call by the local
branch Of the joint board of the
c'oakmakers' union. This means ty-
ing up practically the whole indus
try in Philadelphia.
The strike was called to bring
about equalization Of wages thru
out the market, TO obtain an agree
ment whereby if worker changes
jobs he will receive the same wage
at his new place as at the previous
one, and to provide for cash security
from manufacturers and jobbers to
guarantee the final agreement.
Manufacturers are Directing siren
uously to the latter demand.

BULLETIN.

On the heels of Insults defiance,
States Attorney Robert {. Grove,
leader of the Crowe-Barrett repubIi-
can faction, also refused to tell
where he had collected funds used
by his organization in their county
campaign. He denied the commit
tee had power to investigate the
county primary and fatty refused
to say whether insult had given
him any funds. He maintained this
inquiry exceeded the committees
power.
From the questioning by Senator
Reed, democrat Of Missouri, chair
man, it was apparent the slush fund
committee had received confidential
information that insult was a heavy
contributor to Grove. It was lndi-
Gated that II insult did contribute to
Grove, the gift was used on behalf
of the candidacy of Joseph F. Saw
age for county judge.
The senatorial inquiry into the re.
cent million dollar senatorial primary
took a sensational turn yesterday
afternoon when Samuel Insult, multi
millionaire public utility king of the
midwest, defled the senate sIush fund
committee and was warned he would
be reported to the senate for con.
tempt.
insult fatty refused to reveal to
the committee any of his political
contributions in the last campaign ex,
cept those to the senatorial candi-
dates.
Senator James Reed, democrat of
Missouri then warned the utility
magnate that it would be the commit
tees painful duty to report the facts
of Insults defiance to the senate. In
the face of this warning, insult again
declined to answer questions about
his campaign gifts outside the sen
atorial race, and said he took this at
titude on the advice of counsel.
The utility magnate defied the com
mittee's power to investigate contri
buttons to the campaign funds OF
county or state candidates and told
the committee he did this on the ad.
vice Of his attorneys. He said he al
ready had revealed all gifts to candi-
dates in the senatorial campaign.
Copey on Stand.
The second biggest angel of the
Smith campaign took the stand yester.
day morning and testified that he was
not against the world court, tho he
dropped a wad of bills totalling
$4,000 into Smiths lap. This winged
creature is Ira D. Copley downstate
utility magnate and millionaire. Like
other big-hearted donors the contribu-
ton was prompted entirely by mo-
tives of personal friendship.
Copley. who gave $4,000 to the
Smith fund. declared he made the gift
because of his personal friendship for
Smith. He gave the money too, he
said, long after he sold out his active
interests in public utilities, although
he admitted that Smith as chairman
of the Illinois Commerce commission
had first approved the sale.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 4.-That the

It is also rumored that powerful
American financial interests are

The open support given Gales by

BY THOMAS J. o'FLAHERTY

DIR. Streseman, German foreign min
lister. sent a congratulatory mes
sage to George Bernard Shaw on the
occasion of his SEVENTEEN birthday.
Shaw, in return issued a fulsOme
eulogy OF the Germans and took sew
eral wicked slaps at the British gov
ernment, not because they are help
ing the coal owners smash the miners
union and starve their women and
children. oh, MOI Such matters are
beneath the dignity of literary
master" What Shaw was mad with
the government about was their re-
fusal TO allow him to use the radio
for speech he intended to deliver as
feature of his birthday fete.
SHAW said among other things in
~ his reply to the German message:
To Germany l owe my recognition
IN Europe as a thinker and dramatic
poet. What is more important, Eu-
rope owes to Germany such European
sense as exists-the importance of
thot and dramatic poetry and the
value OF lives devoted to them. There
fore tribute from Germany confers
on me distinction that no other ma
ton in the world can give. If were
German l should be justifiably proud
OF thts." Yet this is the same Shaw

That the Cony high athletes have
made great hit with the prep
schools was shown at the University
of Maine tournament where several
members of the Cony basketball
squad were approached by the repre-
sentatives of one of the prep schools
who endeavorcd to interest them in
attending their particular institution
next year. Among those approached
were Bernard (Babe) Lapidus and
Royal (Tiny) Overlook both of whom
were outstanding figures at the tour
ney.
Lapidus said Tuesday that al
though he fully intends to go to prep
school in the fall he will necessarily
be obliged to earn much of his way
through school and will be guided to
some extent in his selection by the
chances of doing so which are afford
ed at the various schools. He will
Seek employment for the summer in
order to secure funds with which to
help pay his expenses at prep school.
, Overlook, on the other hand. has
practically decided that he will go to
Kents Hill in the fall.
Lapidus, a three letter man at
Cony high. will be ineligible after
this year in all sports because of
having played for his school for four
years. He will. however, be eligible
for baseball this spring. He has
played football three years, basket
ball three years and baseball one
year. In football he was rated as the
f1ashiest high school back in the
state during the season of 1925. He
first started his football career as a
halfback on the Cony high cham
pionship team of 1922, which admin
istered such trimming to Skowhe-
gan in a game that was admittedly
for the championship. Since that
time he has been going strong, al
ways playing at halfback and has de-
yeloped into an exceptionally clever
all round player. especially strong in
carrying the ball. He is a very fast.
shifty runner and has an uncanny
way of slipping through the opposing
team.
At baseball he has occupied the
mound in several games and this
year will be one of the main stays of
the Cony twirling staff. In basket
ball he has proved a clever, fast
ptoycis WI Ming every minute ana
with a fine eye for the basket.
He was much surprised by a report
that he was slated for Hebron next
fall as he has as yet not decided just
where he will go. Any prep school
acquiring him. however, may well
count itself as fortunate in securing
an athlete of proven prowess in three
major sports, and Cony high in los
ing him will suffer a great loss and
will not soon fill his place.

College Stars Seek
Added Laurels in
Big League Ranks

New York, Mar. 16.-(AP)-Sel-
dom do ball players make the big
jump to the majors from college
ranks within a year or less of pro-
fessional experience. but at least d
half dozen young stars in this cate
CORY are occupying the limelight
now in southern training camps.
Perhaps the most conspicuous of
these newcomers is Ernie Nevers,
Leland Stanford's crack pitcher and
a professional baseball uniform for
the first time when he joined the
st. Louis Browns this year. Under
the tutelage of George Sisler, the
Browns manager, who himself
stopper to big league fame from the
University of Michigan. Nevers is
said to be developing fast.
The spotlight also win be on Owen
Carroll, who Joined the Detroit Tig-
ers late last season after compiling
a brilliant pitching record at Holy
Cross. Carroll found himself in diff
ficulties in his first few big league
starts in 1925 but Manager Ty Cobb
is confident he has the stuff to make
good.
One of CAROLS team mates at
Holy Cross. Walter Gautreau. also
jumped from college to major league
ranks last year. He was a sense
ton at second base for the Boston
Braves toward the close of the sea-
son and is BOXED upon as a fixture
in starting his first full campaign.
/ John McGraw, veteran pilot of the
Giants. is especially partial to de-
veloping schoolboy stars. Three of
hi most dependable infielders, Frank
F'risch, Travis JACKSON and Freddy
Lindstrom, came to the club with
little or no professional experience.
Now McGraw has two more bud
ding stars from schoolboy ranks in
Melvin OFT, sensational young catch
err, and Eddie Farrell, former Uni
versity of Pennsylvania captain and
shortstop. Fl rell joined the club
last season and showed unusual
promise. OFT, n high school year
ago, already is being hailed as a
second Gordon Cochrane, the Bos-
ton College star who jumped to
fame with the Athletics last season
after only years minor league ex-
perience.
