CARDS FEAR GIANTS
IN PENNANT CHASE

BY tho Associated Press
Bill Mckechnie, who piloted one world
championship club at Pittsburgh In 1925
and hopes to lead another in st. Louis
this season, is not among those who
count the Giants out OF the National
League race because Of the departure of
Rogers Hornsby and his big bat.
Bill expects the Pirates to furnish the
chief opposition for the Cardinals, but
as the ST Louis Globe Democrat quotes
him:
THE Cubs and the Giants also will be
up In the race. There are many in
clined TO count the Giants out OF 1t
after they traded Hornsby TO the Braves.
l believe they are making a great
mistake The Giants with McGraW
at the helm are always dangerous.
The punch supplied by Hornsby's bat
will be missed undoubtedly. but Cohen
is said TO be a rising star And remem-
Der. If Cohen fails to fill the bill Nc
Graw will go out and nab some one

Supreme Court Ruling
Suggests Open Shop

WASHINGTON, Mar. ia broad
hint to employers to go open shop
was contained in decision by Chief
Justice William Howard Taft Of the
U. S. Supreme Court against the
Barker Painting Company, of New
York, in the company's controversy
with the Brotherhood of Painters,
Decorators and Paper Hangers.
The controversy arose when the
company sought to employ New York
workers on a job in Washington at
a scale below that established in its
contract with the Brotherhood which
provided increases and shorter hours
for out of town work The company
sued the union when it declared a
strike and held up the work.
The decision by Chief Justice Taft,
while denying the claim of the COM
pany for damages, says the company
had "the alternative of employing
non-union men,"

Biltmore Hotel, in New York, and
asked him to take over $4,000 Of the
bonds in exchange for cash con-
tribution of that amount. Butler said
he declined to take the package of
bonds which Hays laid on the table.
Hays, who was called to the stand
as soon as Butler stepped down, adj
mitted that the testimony of both
was correct.
Old Guard Unmoved.
Sen. Borah, by publicly demanding
Of National Chairman Butler that
Butler make an effort 70 repay to
Sinclair the 100000 which Sinclair
gave to pay off the republican cam
paign debt, has not created a panic
in Old Guard circles. Butler is not
expected to raise the money from
other sources, as urged by Borah, ito
repudiate the transaction and return
the fruits thereof" Hard-boiled re-
publican politicians feel that the full
support of the administration has
been enjoyed by Sinclair since 1921,
and they see no reason why the price
paid for this should be returned to
him. The fact that he lost Teapot
Dome, which was the original con-
sideration in the deal, is not fault
of the administration. They think
Sinclair should congratulate himself
that he is still out of prison, and
should trust the party organization
to do what it can for him in the
future.
Prosecution Merely Suggested.
Sen Robinson of Arkansas, re-
dictionary democratic presidential
candidate, seized upon the Borah sug-
gestion, and the Mellon admission of
knowledge of the bond deal to declare
that the republicans could not reform
themselves by merely paying back
the money. He suggested that Will
Hays. who has twice testified and
twice concealed the facts of the bond
deal from the senate committee,
might be prosecuted for perjury.
Sen. Norris demands that Mellon
resign from the cabinet because of
his lang concealment of knowledge of
the crooked bond deal involving the
republican national committee, Harry
Sinclair and the naval oil leases.
Other members fsthe original Hard
ing cabinet in this affair have been
A lib ert Fall, secretary of the
interior; Edwin DENLY, secretary of
the navy, Will Hays, postmaster
general, and Harry Daugherty, at
torney general. John w. Weeks, who
was secretary of War, is shown to
have known about the bond deal. He
is now dead.

Walsh Cd of Montana, sprung

1T appears to us from reliable
sources that Mr.. Clark got 100000
