R ALL MERGER OF NICARAGUA
is CONSIDERED QUITS TUESDAY

WASHINGTON March q LP--A
second proposal for the consolidation
of three principal trunk line railroads
in southwestern territory was pre-
sented today to the interstate COM
fnerce commission. The Missouri
Kansas-Texas railroad sought the
commissions approval for rs acquisi-
ton of control of the Kansas City
Southern and the st. Louis South
western systems, under an arrange
ment for transfer ana purchase OF
stock.
If authorized to proceed with The
merger, the application said, the
Missouri Kansas Texas company woul9
undertake to treat short line railroads
in its territory under such conditions
as the commission might direct.
The proposal brought forward
would result IN a fusion OF the three
railroads along a somewhat different
line than that suggested two years
ago by L. F. Loree and his associates,
which met with the commits sion's
disapprovaI.
The first merger project called for
the amalgamation OF the three roads
under the leadership CT the Kansas

SElIPSTEAD GETS
ENDORSEMENT BUT
HAS OPPOSITION

ST PAUL, March 81 up - Over
stubborn opposition of anti-conserva-
tiVeS, the Minnesota farmer-labor con-
vention late today indorsed United
States Senator Henrik Shipstead for
reelection.
During fiery Uwo-hour debate, the
senior senator from Minnesota was
attacked as "a betrayer of the party
that elected him. and defended as
"the champion of the working class"
The final vote by acclamation was
taken but an offisial check showed
that approximately one-fourth of the
300 delegates registered disapproval of
the motion for Endorsement.
Presenting an organized TIA *
against the candidacy of Senator Ship
stead, his opponents began their coun-
ter move in the nominating committee
where three of it's number opposed the
majority report favoring the senator
and offered minority report and a
candidate of their own.
First signs of the split appeared on
the floor when c. R. Hedlund, of
Minneapolis, presented the minority
report providing for the Endorsement
Of w. F. Watkins, representing the
Minneapolis Switchmen's union, for the
senate.
Opening the attack on the majority
report, Virgil Dunn of Minneapolis
flayed the farmar-labor senator for
committing treacheIf of the worst
kind IF we indorse him." he de-
clared I'VE will be pinning our hopes
to a broken reed to be betrayed and
sold out to the other parties
r. D. Cramer, editor of the Mime
apolis Labor Review, leading the de-
Tense of Senator Shipstead character
lied him as "the most colossal figure
in the United States senate" and eX-
pressed the hope that his tmultitud-
inous constituents" would answer the
attack against him with the greatest
majority ever given a United States
senator from Minnesota"
Conditional Endorsement of Senator
George w. Norris of Nebraska for
president was voted after the commit
zee altered the resolution to include the
clause: Providing he gives his con-
sent to become a candidate on our
ticket"
One of the last acts of the conven-
ton was to reject an invitation to
participate in proposed meeting in
some mid-western city to consider
formation of a national labor party
The vote was 109 to SO.

CHECK FLU-GRIP
BY USING VICKS
AT FIRST SNEEZE
Health Authorities Urge
PrecautiOn to Prevent
Epidemic

If all colds we're checked at the
beginning, influenza, pneumonia ana
grip would be greatly reduced.
1t takes quick action to get ahead
of the germs OF these dread dis
eases. Many cases of flu start from
germs breathed in. The effective
way to attack them is direct-with
vapors of Vicks VapoRub.
When rubbed on the throat and
chest the ingredients of Vicks are re-
leased in the form OF vapOrs which,
being breathed in, carry medication to
the inflamed air passages and lungs
direct and instantly. In addition, it
acts like poultice and helps the
vapors inhaled to break up the con-
gestion.
While grip and influenza are so
prevalent local people are urged to
keep Vicks VapoRub ready at all times
for instant use.-Advt.

UTAHAN PREDICTS
EARLY RELIEF FOR
UNEMPLO YMENT

WASHINGTON march 81 W--
Senate democrats reasserted their
contentious that 100000 persons are
now out of work after Senator Smoot
of Utah, arose in the senate today to
take encouragement from the en-
ployment outlook on the basis OF the
department OF labor report that the
unemployed numbered 100000.
Early relief for the employment
situation through the advance ol
spring and summer seasons and the
resulting stimulation OF building was
predicted by the Utahan who took
comfort also in the labor depart
ment's report that conditions were
not as bad as had been pictured
by "alarmistS."
But democrats were quickly on
their feet. Senator Simmons, OF
North Carolina, characterized the
labor report as a political" docu-
ment and described Smoo5 as the
"mouthpiece" of government agencies
trying to defend the prosperity
ISSUE"
Senator Wagner, OF New York,
called the report inaccurate and in
complete" and both he and Senator
Walsh, of Massachusetts, insisted that
employment was worse today than in
recent years and that the number
out of work totaled at least 100000
as they originally contended.
Smoot attributed some unemploy-
ment on the basis OF the labor ce-
partment report to the rapid develop
ment of labor saving machinery and
he called upon employers who install
such devices to assume responsibility
for finding work for the men dis
placed.
This aroused Senator Smith, Of
South Carolina, who declared that
while labor saving devices had been
installed in industries they had never
resulted in cheaper products. Senator
Simmons insisted that no new ma
chinery had been turned to agri-
culture which, he said, was suffering
O depression worse than any other.
Senator Walsh declared conditions
could not be exaggerated and pointed
out that millionaires were increasing
''by leaps and bounds but so also
was unemployment. Senator Short
ridge, of California, asked WnatI
legislation he proposed to remedy the
situation and Walsh said that al
board should be named to study
conditions.
perhaps a free trade bill will
help" the Californian suggested with
a smile.
This brought Senator Smoot back
into the arena with the declaration
that without protective tariff there
would not be reported here less than
100000 unemployed there would be-
five or six millions cut eT employ
ment." T
eve are keeping up a high pre-
tective tariff replied Smith OF
South Carolina, "for the purpose OF
protecting machines as against hu-
man beings"

GOLF CHAMPIO
SIDESTEPS NONE,
IN MATCH PLAY
sLANTs III T IL

SPORT SLANTS. H T X.
NEW YORK, March 27 tP)-TherC
is no golfing law, such as there is
in boxing, to compel Walter Hager
to defend his worlds match play
title at least every six months, but
the dapper American professional
doesn't do any dodging on that
account.
Sir Walter is doing no side-stepping
whatever by accepting terms Tor a
70 hole match with the long hitting
British star, Archie Compston, in the
latter'S own back yard April 27 ano
28.
Hagen is going abroad to take an
other fling at the British ope1I
championship. The battle with Comp
Ston probably appeals to him as a
good way to get warmed up, but
without having had much winter
competition on this side, Hagen is
running the risk OF taking it on
the chin" from the big Briton, who
is built like a heavyweight boxer,
and hits the ball like one.
Hagen wears the crown for match
play skill by common consent. The
veteran has tackled anybody in sight
in the last few years without a
conspicuous defeat on his escutcheon
that can be recalled off-hano, excep;
at the hands of little Gene Sarazen,
Abe Mitchell, Bobby Jones, Cyril
Walker and other champions have
tumbled before Hagen's brilliant
march. Walter hasn't won the open
championship of either Great Britain
or American since 1924, at medal play,
but he has not been beaten since that
time in the American professional
championship at match play.
Jones has mastered the knack OF
match play as well as stroke compe-
titicn, but the great Georgian is still
essentially a. medal player, matching
shots with old man par Bobby
seems to get his game. in its best
working order when he is clicking
'em off against this imaginary foe
HagenS main urge, on the other
hand, comes in the n1an-to-man
battle of the links, although he also
has gone on many wild scoring
spree.
In other words Bobby prefers to
shadow box with the old man of the
links while Walter prefers to swap
punches on the spot.
Two freshmen umpires in the Ma
tional league who have been holding
their own in exhibition games offer
a study in contrasts. Dolly" Stark,
college coach and perhaps the young
est umpire major league baseball has
known, never quite made the big
league grade, while Sherry Magee
was a star outfielder and leading
hitter in the league in which he
will now call balls and strikes.
Stark was an infielder who retired
from the game almost before he
started when another young player
by the name of Harris bettered him
in contest for the second base
assignment at Washington. This was
fortunate for Harris, who was pro-
NOTED to manager. Now that Stark
has reached the majors by another
route they are all square.
Magee fought his way through
many torrid campaigns and could
still hit the ball hard and often when
he took the chip off his shoulders
for keeps and prepared to ignore
these same chips on other baseball
shoulders as an umpire.
Bob King, of Stanford, will be the

Hagen Corning Back

There are any number OF incen-
tiveS that contribute to ambition, bu
the greatest of them perhaps is the
need of dough- Babe Ruth might
never have staged his great comebacE
il he wasn't broke flat after he haC
thrown away a fortune several years
ago.
Jack Sharkey might be training nov
to meet Jack Dempsey for the heavy
weight championship Of the world ii
Sharkey hadn't Softened himself with
easy money and ii Dempsey had to
rap at the back doors for g. handout
like ne did in his early days.
The incentive to swell up the bank
roll is expected to be the whip that
may get Walter Hagen back this year
to the position he once held as golfs
greatest match player.
He admitted to friends during the
winter that he had to get back into
the big money this year. He made a
lot of money during the boom in
Florida, both in real estate activities
and in the pursuit of golf, but he lived
handsomely and when the Florida golf
market slumped his business went
with it.
He also lost some money last year
when he was prevailed upon to get
into a promotion scheme to finance
the Rochester international league
baseball club, and he had a lucky
escape in that he did not lose all OF
the $25 900 he put into 1T.
There is hardly possibility that
Hagen ever will become a public
charge, but it takes lot of money
for the Haig to live as the public has
been accustomed to expect of him.
He has the reputation and style, of a
king to keep up and he has TO work to
do it.
Hagen plans an international cam
paign this year, including campaign
through the British open and a big
money match with Archie CompSton,
the British pro.
His ambitious plans will not be
scoffed at because when the Halg is
in the mood to do something with a
golf club he can do it. When he has
to do it there is no limit to his pos
SibilitieS.
Dempsey Not Broke
There were stories told last year
that Jack Dempsey was broke and
that he had to return to the ring to
recoup his fortunes 1t wasn't harm
full publicity and Dempsey never took
the trouble to comment on the stories.
For particular reasons, Dempsey
probably figures that it is to his own
interest to keen his nerSonal business
