JAY
SPORT
CHAT

The discussion of the new changes in
the football rules still holds the lime
light in sport circles. Arguments as
to whether the new system will curb
the pass or cause 1t to burst out as
more of gamble than ever is sub
ject that is still unsettled and prob
ably will be unsettled until actul con-
fifct on the gridiron has shown the
value Of the new rules.
The forward pass has been labelled
a gamble and 1t really is a gamble
but in the past has been one of the
safest CANDLES in the world of sport.
In baseball runner attempting 10
steal second in a frantic effort to
work his way around the bases either
is or isn't out He doesn't have an
other try. In football a team making
the same effort to score in the past
chould shoot a pass and If incomplete
make the same effort again and again
If it so desired. In short the opinion
entertained by several students of
the game is that the pass Is gamble
and the team doing the gambling
should either win or lose; that there
should be no half way out.
Several have advocated making a
forward pass a free ball, thereby CIV
ing both teams a chance to recover
a pass which has been grounded; a
great many more like the game and
are satisfied with it the way it has
been for the past few years. They
can see the passes spiralling on their
way to the receiver and like the sight.
The present change in the rules evil
IDENTIFY was made not against the ac-
curate passing teams but the teams
which had little control over the gen.
eral direction of their aerial losses
in an effort to keep the teams playing
the kind of football they were cap
able of. When the season gets I'M
der way and the results of the chang
es may be seen there will be plenty
of time to rebuke or laud the efforts
of the rules committee.

Mass. Employment on

Employment In Massachusetts fac
tories gained 4.3 per cent in August
compared with July, according to the
monthly statement of the state de.
partment of labor. But in spite OF
this gain the number of workers on
the payrolls is still more than 2h
per cent below the level OF August,
1925. And it is 171s per cent below
normal as determined by the average
number of factory workers employed
in the period 1919-1923.
The August Improvement in total
wages was even better, amounting to
5.S per cent. This meant a slight in
crease in the average weekly wage
from $24.O5 to $24.3S.
The four important industries which
contributed largely to the August
gain were cotton goods, rubber foot
wear, boots and shoes and automo-
biles.

Mine Owners Hope to

BY LAURENCE TODD, Fed. Press

BY LAURENCE TODD, Fed. Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-Employe
ownership of stock is the panacea for
workers discomfort which the Ameri-
can Mining Congress Journal urges
upon the mine owners in the United
States. AS tho giving direct reply to
the warning against the stock-buying
delusion which President Green of the
American Federation of Labor deliv-
cred to organized labor in its Detroit
convention, the mine owners organ
in the capital declares that the owners
must embrace this plan.
Against "RadicaIlsm."
"The industry should give IL unIim-
tied support" it says, "for the pur-
pose of encouraging thrift, as a sta
bilizing influence against radicalism.
as a prophylactic against government
ownership, and as a means of break.
ing down the old alignment of labor
against capital and so to prevent or
lessen evils arising out of such strife. y

This organ of the mine owners
quotes the most optimistic figures as
to the number of persons who own
corporation stock in industrial enter
prises. 1t estimates that the wage
workers in America now control
nearly $1,OOO,OOO,OOO of stock in the
industries wherein they are employed.
1t omits any discussion of the per
centage Of this sum to either the total
capitalization of these industries or
the average annual earnings of the
stock to the employe-owner. But
quoting from the plea the mining con-
gress made to the senate finance COM
mittee for favors in the tax bill last
winter, the journal emphasizes the
"stabilizing influence of the selling of
small bits of stock to employees"

recognized that one who owns nothing
has nothing to lose but everything
to gain by radical change. Thus such
a person affords fertile soil in which
to SOW seeds of discomfort. If. there
fore, to discourage radicalism and boil
shevism is sound, this new economic
revolution should be safeguarded and
encouraged in every possible way"

should it not be a good thing for the

Must Be Gentle on Taxes.
In view of the generous treatment
given the mine owners by the senate
finance committee it is to be assumed
That these arguments met with sena-
torial approval The committee was
cordial toward any theory which
would justify reduction of federal tax
alton affecting the profits OF big cor
porations. The trend of the employee
ownership argument is that the divi-
dends of the employee stockholders
must not be taxed and hence the cor
porations must be gently dealt with.
