SCHWAB DENIES.
WAR ON MINE
UNIONS

Charles M. Schwab, millionaire
chairman of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, today entered denial
before the Senate Coal Committee
of union charges that he was
engaged in an alleged conspiracy
to wreck the United Mine Workers.
Expounding his labor policies,
Schwab explained his companies be-
lieved in taking their employees into
"our confidence and understanding"
I'VE want our men to participate
in our business just as the same as
the stockholders. he said.
Schwab explained that his chair
manship of the Bethlehem Mines
Corporation, subsidiary OF the
steel corporation, was IAN honorary
position in which act in an
advisory capacity
In great detail Schwab explained
his fear of direct contact with our
workers"
Criticized Committee
~ can say without boasting that
in my 40 years experience I've never
had any serious trouble with my
men," he added.
Schwab indirectly criticized the
committee. II think agitation like
this is harmful to the working peo-
ple," he said. The airing of sensa-
tional charges will not help.
Mr.. Chairman, I'm not working
for money. / don't need money.
I've never made dollar out of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation. 1t has
been a work of love. My purpose is
In leave a monument to my indus
trial work in this country.
There are too many miners In
this country. That is one of the
troubles today"
A crowd, packed like sardines In
the stuffy, smoke-filled committee
room, was attracted to the investi-
cation to hear the testimony Of mil
lionaire witnesses, Schwab, John D.
Rockefeller, jr., and r. 8. Mellon.
Mellon arrived first, followed in a
few minutes by Rockefeller and
Schwab. The latter two greeted each
other affably.

LOOMS

American broadcasting IL due for
another and complete shakeup.
The Federal Radio Commission to-
day prepared to start work on .
general reallocation of wave lengths,
power reduction, station elimina-
tons and redistribution, anticipating
the passage of the new radio bill
which carries an equal distribution
clause
Commissioners thought it unlikely
that 1t would be possible to work
out the new program before May 1
or to get it into eject before June
l. Months of intensive study and
research will be required to remodel
the broadcasting situation to meet
condition laid down in the law.
Officials pointed out that the new
law must be considered as entirely
experimental. They predicted that
the whole radio situation would be
thrown open again at the next ses-
sion of Congress and possibly q
new law enacted.
Commissioner O. III. Caldwell, who
vigorously protested against the
equal distribution clause as Origi.
naIly drawn, regards the revamped
section as unavoidable and feels
that it will work great hardship
OFT radio listeners who enjoy dis
tant program, as well ms many
brOadcaSterS.
More than 100 broadcasters may be
silenced under the new plan. A pre-.
lminary survey of the situation in.
dictated that under the law only $50
stations can operate. whereas $50
broadcasters are now on the air.
The New York and Chicago dis
tricts will be hardest hit. The law
apparently limits each Of the five
zones to 40 stations each, accord
ing to the commission.
The new law would limit each zone
to approximately 100000 watts total
power for all stations. This limita-
ton. commissioners said, breaks
down the original plan laid out by
the late Admiral w. III. G.. Billiard,
chairman. for setting up a number
of national broadcasting stations.

Editor, The Seward Gateway, Dear Sir:
 Just a word on basketball. After reading the report in last evenings paper on Sunday nights game between the Alaska College and the s. A. c. teams, I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my appre- citation for the publication of so candid an article.
 AS am a lover of good clean sport, it is my opinion that the inter-city games, as we'll as the local, should be played the best possible, and that can only be done when the teams participating turn out for practice and do their very best. An example and the result of earnest endeavor was witnessed in, and may be seen in the report on, Monday nights game be- tween the Alaska College and our lit tie High School team The boys did themselves proud, and, while they lost, they haven't a thing to be ashamed of. The team including subs and Coach Bath, are to be highly commended and are deserving of the staunch support of this little commu- nity, which they get.
 Thanking you for taking your valua- ole time in reading these few lines, 1 which you have my permission to publish if you so desire, I am
 Very truly yours,
 Morgan c. Probasco.

The Seward high school basketball team will probably depart for Anchor age on Thursday of next week to give the Inletters a chance for revenge It 1 is said the Anchorage team haven't been able to figure it out yet why they dropped the recent series.
 To local fans, it is easily figured out Their downfall was attributed to Coach Bath who has given Seward a high school team which will go down in history. With only nine boys enrolled in the high school seven turned out and everyone made the team And what sweet" team!
 If one wants to get in dutch" with these members just start saying something detrimental to Bath.

interesting for the crack golfer, in
asmuch as an added stress would be
placed on the in-between shots, the
long, medium and short shots to the
green.
To sideliner this is amazing,
because I have yet to meet a golfer,
crack or cracked, who ever COM
planned bitterly that the game had
gotten too easy for him. On the
contrary, the tenor of the utterances
always was to the effect that some
thing ought to be done TO make old
man Par a little more tractable and
reasonable.
1t has beeen repeatedly pointed
out that the duffer is not inter
ested. in any change in imple-
mentS that will increase the diff
culties of his scoring, and that
his chief joy on the linkss is
long, resounding swat off the tee,
an exhiIarating adventure that is
not utterly impossible with the
present far-flying ball.
ONCE it appears that the crack
y players urge for lighter and
bigger ball is theoretical and that
the duffer is unanimously opposed
to it, one wonders why in the heck
1t is to be brought into use.
It's pretty much of a certainty
that no change either in the balls
or the clubs is going to make a
weak player stronger or a strong
player weaker.
Aside from providing ponderous
conversations for golf architects and
chairmen of green's committees who
think the bunker at the tenth hole
ought to be clean shaven instead OF
whiskered, and that the lake at
No. ought to be stocked with wall
eyed perch instead of mock turtles,
1t isn't likely that the new ball is
going to disturb seriously the present
routine of the game.

Risko Loses to Roberti on Foul
in Sixth Round of Bout in East
Cleveland Baker Boy Lands UnntentOnaI Blow: Was
Ahead of Italian Pug by Wide Margin

Sharkey and George Godfrey, had
an undeseryed defeat against his
record.
Risko was punching his way to
victory over Roberto Robert, Italian
giant, when he was disqualified for
landing a foul blow after l minute
80 seconds in the sixth round
of their scheduled ten-round bout
at Ebbets Field Wednesday night.
A crowd of 22,500 voiced long
and loud disapproval of the unex-
pected ending of what might have
been one of the best heavyweight
bouts of the summer season. The
blow was clearly foul, but it was as
clearly unintentional.
Risko had been fighting wildly,
but it was the first punch he landed
anywhere near the foul line. The
two fighters were in close quarters
in the center Of the ring, with the
shorter Risko slightly to the right
of Robert. On the break, Risko
swung his left with all his might
without aiming the blow, and it
struck Roberts groin, and the big
Italian toppled over in a swoon.
After a brilliant squirt in the sec
ond round and a minute of flaShy
fighting in the third, Roberti was
through for the evening. Risko got
his roundhouse left hook working in
the latter part of the third round
and Roberti caught it frequently on
the chin until the sudden end.
Another menace to Sammy Man
dell appeared in the eight-round
semi-final in the person of Tommy
Grogan, hard-hitting lightweight
from Omaha, Neb. Grogan knocked
out Fernando Fiorillo, South
American. after one minute, 80 sec
ends in the fret round

Although the appearance of Roy
Wallace on a local card is sufficient
to bring out the S. R. o. placard,
whoever Roy's opponent might be,
added interest is attached to his
scrap Tuesday with Joe Packo be-
cause of the scorching attack which
the Toledo Hungarian launched
against the Brightwood idol on the
occasion of their meeting in the
armory last spring.
1t will be recalled Packo stolidly
took all Roy had to offer for eight
sessions and then suddenly sprang
into action with terrific offensive
that had Brightwood rooters grip
ping their seats and praying for the
final tap of the gong.
The semi-windup between Royal
Cox, Indianapolis, and Windy
Meyers of Cincinnati likewise has
intrigued the fistic devotees, it be-
ing an encore for the two boys, who
went six steaming sessions at the
