Face Tarin' Vote

Washington, Sept. 23 P-Rc- publican leaders in the senate faced q complicated situation today as they approached a vote on the high ly controversial administrative pro- visions of the tariff bill.
 They were successful in their first move to speed up the debate tn" calling of today's session an hour earlier than usual. They were con frontcd, however, with the claim of the republican independents, or ganizcd under the leadership of Senator Borah of Idaho, to 1 1 votes to Wicld as a balance of power be- tween the regular republicans and the democrats.
 While the republican independents are chiefly concerned with their de- sire 10 conline the tariff revision to agricultural commodities, they arc expected 10 line mp with the demo- crats in favor of repeal of the fioXi- hle tariff policy written into the l'Ordncy- -MCCumber act seven years ago and provided for again in the pending bill.
 Approval of Hoover
 That policy has the approval of President Hoover, expressed in his message at the beginning of the special session. W hile the democrats and some republicans of the .rc%u- lar as well as the independent per suasion have attacked it on the ground that it delegates an cXclu- Sivcly congressional function to the chief executive hy permitting him to raise or lower imports.
 In addition to that issue, two other outstanding points of controversy are presented in the administrative pro- visions of the bill-thc question whether the president is to be given authority 10 rcorganiZe the now bipartisan tariff commission with ont regard to party lines, and the proposal to abandon foreign valua- tions in favor of more easily obtain able domestic figures as basis for ad Valorcm duties.
 With that situation and the re- publican independent organiZat ton in mind, leaders of both parties had little time this morning to do any thing except sound out their ad- hcrcnts and line them up for the votes to come. All were practically certain. Meanwhile, that when the senate reaches the contested rate schedules, the republican inde- pcndcntS would draw strong support from the democrats in efforts to prevent advances in duties on indus trial commodities.

North Carolina Pauses to Take Stock of Textile Mill Situation
 As Lull Appears In Hostiiliiiiies
Temporary Relief From Constant Strife of Past Few Weeks Shows District Around Charlotte Sadly
 Changed From Peaceful Past.

Charlottc, N. C., Sept. 9 OP)- A lull in the industrial struggle which has been shaking social and economic life in the textile districts of North Carolina since last April, today gave the community an op- pOrtunity to take an invoice of gains and losses which the strike has fos- tered.
 It found its courts cloggcd with cases ranging from murder down to comparatively petty olfcnScs, score of men in jail in various places, and many more out under bonds; bitter ness only Subsiding ever so little; q new knowledge of the tcncts of com muniSm, of Atheism and even free love impartcd 10 its people. on tn" other side of the ledger q working week of GO hours had been reduced 10 53 for some employees and prom iscd for others, there was q perhaps more Sympal hctiC attitude on th" part of mill operators towards those who work for them, and in the in stance of at least on" large null community. a definite effort was be ing made by the mill which domi- mates it 10 improve the living connI- tions of Is workers.
 Agitation Goes On
 Meanwhile, agitation went on. There were an indefinite number of outside organizations at work today -pcrhaps between 10 and 70 and an even larger number of paid or volunteer organizers recruited tlom the ranks of mill employees them selves. gathering membership for the National Textile Workers Union.
 That union is not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and it's organizers are, at least in many cases, avowcd communists.
 Since the middle of last week there has been no actual violence. There was no way of telling. how ever. whether that condition would continue. It seemed rather certain that the temper of tn" people still was such that it would be easy to set off the finder of bitterness again. There was no guarantee that 1t would require what lawyers call an 'ovcrt act" 10 stir up antl-unon forces once more. No one would ven turc the prediction that NiGilant"s were through calling men from their beds at night to be nogged, as haS happened on two occasions.

TWO D. c. GOLFERS
RETURN TO FORM
BaIIantyne and Chasmar,
Former Stars, Again Are
Displaying Skill.

~ NE Of the bright spots Of the
current golf season has been
the return to the form that
~ made them formidable COM
petitors in other years Of two
veterans of the game about Washing
ton. One Of them is two-time winner
Of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association
amateur championship, who has not
played competitive golf for nearly a
decade. The other is fine player who
has not shown at his best in tourna-
ments, but always has been one of the
stalwarts Of the game at Columbia, the
club Of which both are members.
Old-time golfers about the Capital
will remember William c. Ballantyne
Of Columbia, who won two major
championships about the Capital, was
a winner of several tournaments and
about Washington. Ballantyne retired
from competition about eight years ago.
and had not played about Washington
until few days ago.
In other years he used to romp
around the Columbia course in the
low 70s, and always was able to shat
ter 30. He has come back to the game,
as the following incident will show.
With Darcy Banagan as his partner,
he played the other day at Columbia.
Ballantyne and Banagan were all
square with their opponents at the
eighteenth tee, and Banagan got of a
tee shot that left him with q very hard
shot to the green. He turned to Ballan-
tyne, and remarked that he would bet
ter bear down a bit on that hole, as
Banagan was not in a favorable spot.
Ballantyne retaliated by knocking his
second shot on the green and sinking
the putt for q birdie 3 to win the
match.
Ten years and more ago Bill Ballan-
tyne was one Of the finest golfers any
where in this section of the country.
A long hitter and q determined fighter,
he was one of the sternest competitors
Of Bob Finkenstaedt, when the latter
was at his best. That Finkenstaedt
has not lost his game was shown re-
Gently when he won the Columbia
tournament. Finkenstaedt and Ballan-
tyne were tournament rivals, with the
trend of victory going toward Ffnken-
staedt as he obtained more experience
at the game. Ballantyne virtually gave
up golf back in 1921 and according to
Banagan has not played at Columbia
since that year.
The other veteran who has come
back with a vengeance is G. II. Chas-
mar, chairman of the green's commit
tee at Columbia, who for many years
has been the possessor of a great game,
but has not been able to produce it in
tournament play. Chasmar is known to
the better golfers at Columbia as one
of the finest shot makers in the club,
but because of a queer psychological
quirk, never has been at his best in
the tournaments. Time after time he
has gone around Columbia in 70 and
better. For while Chasmar lost in
terest In golf but recently he has been
playing a good deal and playing ex-
ceptionally well.
