HEADER FOR CAMP
ChicagO's Hustling White SOx Turn Their Faces Towards Dallas, Texas.

Chicago Feb. 2S LP,-After trad ing their veteran outfielder, Bib Falk, to Cleveland for Catcher Mar tin Autry, Chicago's husling White Sox headed for their Dallas. Texas, spring training camp today.
 Thirteen players. led by Coach Lena Blackburne, comprised the contingent. which will be increased along the route at Dallas. It was one of the youngest White Sox teams in history.
 The Falk-Autry deal. the only inter-league exchange the White Sox have made all winter. came quickly last night when owners of both clubs agreed by telephone to an exchange. The White Sox believe Autry. a husky youth of 25, will supply the backstop punch that was missing last year. Autry is consid- cred a good defensive man, while his stick brought in a 300 batting aver age last season for the Indians.
 Falk, who came to Comiskey's park in 1920, did not have such a good season in 1928. Cleveland is expected to use him regularly in the outfield.

ADMITS BAD BRAKES
 0N CAR, FINED S35
Owner Of Truck Hhat Hit Boys
 in Police Court

Joseph M. Hultsren, 30, of c1 Francis street whose milk delivery truck rolled down Beaver street hill and struck two small boys, on Feb ruary 14, pleaded guilty in police court today to charges of driving an automobile with defective brakes and allowing an automobile to stand unattended with motor running. Judge Stanley J. Traceski imposed a fine of $50 and costs, remitting $25, and the first charge, and a fine of s1o and costs on the second.
 Sergeant P. J. O'Mara testified that he and Officer Peter Cabelus were detailed to investigate the case about p. m. and found that the truck had been left at the curb in front of house at S3 Beaver street while Hultgren made delivery of milk. and as Hultgren reached the steps he saw the truck start rolling. It went across the intersection of Broad, North and Beaver streets and over the curb at 63 Beaver street, the sergeant said.
 Officer Peter Cabelus drove the truck on Beaver street and tested the brakes, the sergeant said. with the result that the foot brake was found useless and the emergency brake would work slightly but would not lock the wheels. On Center street, the sergeant said, he had Hultgren take the wheel and try the brakes with the same result.
 Officer Cabelus testified that the injured boys were taken to the hos- pital. and Sergeant O'Mara, recalled to the stand, testified that one of them sustained fracture of the leg and other injuries, for which he was treated at New Britain General hos- pital and discharged February 22. The fracture is mending satisfactor- lily, the sergeant said.
 The injured boys are Salvatore Mazotta, ', of 112 Beaver street, and William Genovese, 2, of PAP High street. Mazotta's leg was fractured, while Genovese sustained less serious injuries.

as they boast in their own circles of
cheap" and supposedly docile labor.
At the conference held in Washing
ton to consider plans to organize the
South, President Green proved out of
their own mouths that wages "are So
and up; that the 11-hour day is
common; that skilled workers are
paid 80 cents an hour; that female
employees may be worked 60-hour
week, and that "the labor laws in
North Carolina are as lenient as any
in existence"
These and similar statements were
made by Southern commercial inter-
ests in their efforts to induce invest
ors to come to their localities.
These commercialists welcome
Northern and Western capitalists, but
trade unionists from the same Sec
tions are "agitators."
Capitalists are invited to come
South and exploit defenseless work
ers. They are told there is no law
that debars any brutality they may
inflict.
When Southern unionists call on
their fellows elsewhere to aid them
in this unequal contest, the exploit
ers whimper, Outside agitators.
1t is the sportsmanship one expects
from those who fight women and
children.
These Pecksniffs fool no one. They
will know that trade unionism is the
logical result of exploitation. This

COMPENSATION CLAIMS

Under a new policy adopted by the
Ohio industrial commission, workmen
will know the reasons for delaying
their claims for compensation which
they will file before the commission
in the future
The majority of delays are due TO
incomplete filling out of applications
for award, necessitating the return
ing of the blank for additional irfor-
nation. The procedure of the com
mission calls for the blank to be re-
turned to the employer for additional
information.
Many employers, upon receiving the
request from the Industrial commits
sion for additional information, fail
to return it promptly, and often wait
several months without answering,
according to Dale w. Stump, super
visor of the claims department.
when his claim is delayed, the
employe does not know the cause.
Often he blames the commission when
his employer has never given the in
formation the law requires. Under
our new system, we will continue to
return the blank to the employer, but
we will also write to the emp,oye
who was injured, telling him what is
holding up his claim. He can go to
the employer then and see that the
matter gets prompt attention" Stump
said

A STRONG PLEA FOR OLD-AGE
PENSIONS

Speaking to the recent conference
on old age security, Congressman
Hamilton Fish, of New York, said:
"rhe problem of the aged cannot
be ignored or postponed much longer.
We have paradox in the United
States, the richest country in the
world, in that our wage earners are
left alone to worry and suffer the
humiiations of poverty in their de-
clining years.
Millions of American men and
women, with families to support,
actually are earning wages INSULT
cient to maintain our American
standard of living, and therefore are
unable to save funds to provide for
their security in their old age"
Mr.. Fish is very wealthy man by
inheritance, which makes his words
on this occasion and his consistent
championship of old age pensions all
the more notable
The development of care for the
aged is following exactly the same
lines as that for the care of children.
Not so long ago, dependent children
were cared for in collective homes"
by private charity, with the state
making grudging contributions to exc
out the scanty maintenance
Now, the care of children is accept
ed as public duty, and wherever
possible, is carried on in real homes;
yet the cost under the new system is
probably less than it would be under
the old, with the present scale of
prices
Many well-informed persons have
reported that any state could wipe
out all its institutions for the care
of the aged, pay adequate old age
pensions, and save money. If this
can be proved true by the investiga-
tion which Governor Roosevelt is
urging in New York, old age pensions
will come with a rush.

have been noted for their hostility to
progressive social legislation.
Obviously Senator La Toilette and
Senator Norris, to name only two, will
find few points of agreement with
Senator Overman, and they will not
be in joyous harmony with such men
as George of Georgia and many other
Southern democratic senators who
now are their allies in the coalition.
The coalition indicates a breaking
down of old lines and old cleavages,
but it has not yet reached the point
where it indicates with any clarity
lasting new alignment.
1t is much easier for the progress
ives to find allies who will object than
to find allies who will stand by q
really progressive senate.
