SESSION
SLIM

Senator Smith D. Brook
hart Of Iowa will reintroduce
in the special session his bills
for a civil service board of
appeals and for liberalization
of the Welch pay act, he an
nounced today.
Senator Brookhart stated that he
did not at this time contemplate
any changes in the bills which
failed of passage at the last session.
He admitted, however. that a possi-
bility for revision presented itself in
the bill amending the WEIGH act,
based on a survey he is making in
J the government departments.
Through this survey Senator
Brookhart hopes to find which en-
ployes heceived increases of the
size Congress intended in the Welch
act, and which workers received
small raises under Comptroller Gen
piOyOo ICSCANCu AhSASoSOS
Welch act.
The returns from this survey are
practically all in, but Senator
Brookhart said he has not had time
to analyze them because of his
work on the farm relief bill. He
does not know, he said, whether
the facts disclosed by his investiga-
tion will warrant any changes in
the pay bill.
II do not want to cut any sal
aries in the Government service, !"
Brookhart stated, but do want
to help the smaller paid employees.
There is little likelihood that Con-
gress will consider this legislation
at thes special session if the House
and Senate adhere to the present
program. However, we may expect
action at the regular session.
A committee representing the 10
Federal Employees Unions in the
District of Columbia preseAted
Senator Brookhart a basket of
flowers today in appreciation fer
his efforts to secure salary increases
for United States workers.

Likelihood of the Capital
Traction again applying to the
Public Utilities Commission
for an increase to a 10-cent
fare looms as almost cer-

falling off appreciably this

In January, 1928, the company

E. ]. Heberle, assistant to John
HI. Hanna, president of the Capital
Traction Company, yesterday visited
the office of the Public Utilities
Commission and scanned the COM
mission valuation of the company
as of December, 1928.
While it Is not likely that an ap-
plication for a higher fare will be
made until it is determined whether
or not the merger agreement will be
ratified by the next session of Con-
gress it is almost certain that should
the merger fail to come up for con-
sideration new application for
1O-cent far win be made.
Wait on Merger.
Proponents of the 10-cent fare are
all ready to move the minute they
ascertain that the merger is dead in
as far as the special session is con-
cerned.
The agreement expires June 1.
Officials of the company have indi-
Gated they do not intend to jeopardize
the chances of the merger going
over by applying for higher fare
until they are certain the agreement
is dead.

It is difficult for anyone who has followed inter-
national conferences for number Of wears to see
actly where the benefits from such parleys as

between national delegations. In this case as in most
Others the United States delegation signed the final
resolutions with reservation It may some day occur
to some United States delegation that international
laws and regulations game of give and take and
II another nation approves some regulation contrary
to their CUSTOMS but which are considered to be ad-

consider changing of it's rules for the sake of

The robbery was so well executed the

blame with the carefully laid plans OF
the robbers. It had been ringing almost

Harry Heilmann Breaks

DETROIT, March 29.-P- If
Harry Heilmann shows a sincere

Bucky Harris edicts concerning

by Harris was explained to be the
result of training rule violations.

Heilmann has not been in a gama

DALLAS, Tex, March 29.-LP-
The Waco Cubs today we're hosts
to the New York Giant Yannigans
at Waco for a three-game exhibit
ton series. The Cubs penuant
hopes have been boosted by the
signing Of Wayne Windle, star in
fielder, who has been a holdout.
Manager Pratt has begun to cut
his squad down, several having
been given releases during the past
few days.
A bright sun made it possible
for the Wichita Falls Spudders to
get into action once again today
after being idle for two DAYS be-
cause of weather. The Spudders'
tWo-game series with the New
York Giant Y%annigans were rain
ed out. The first game of a three

Of the Western league will be play

charges out at $50 a. m. today for
a long siege of batting and field
ing practice. He said a late after

slbllity. Charlie Barnabe, star
southpaw of the Steers, was an

Is the chain baseball system, as
exemplificd by the st. Louis Car
dinals, doomed? That question is
being asked and raised by base
ball moguIs and fans over the
country, and more so since Com
missioner Lands declared nine
ball players free agents, recently,
because several of the club own
ers, who also operate farms" did
not live up to the letter and spirit
of the law. Judge Landis is to be
congratulated, and baseball Is
fortunate in having the Judge at
its head.
Major and minor league club
owners need working over every
now and then. 1t is all to the cred
it Of baseball. There isn't any
cleaner business in the world than
professional baseball. The chain sys-
tenn works to the detriment of many
players, and to the advantage of
some. The main argument for the
system as we see it, from a stand
point other than the club owning
the team, is that many communi-
ties are able to enjoy the national
pastime, whereas if they had to
operate their own club they wouldn
not. Clark Griffith, president Of
the Washington Senators, is against
the chain system operation, and
Clark knows his stuff. There is
going to be a big argument along
this line sometime this fall among
baseball owners.
Not all sports Scribes are Of the
opinion that Art Shires is a great
ball player, and among them Is Don
Legg, Austin Statesman sports edi-
tor. After watching Shores perform
against the Longhorns in Austin
Monday, the White Sox winning, 5
to i, Shires getting two hits, max
ing an error, and stealing home,
comments as follows:
This fellow Art Shires may be
a great first baseman but we can't
see it that way. We went to the
game expecting to see some player
who was colorful and we saw a
cocky first sacker who played a
mediocre brand of baseball. He did
make q nice steal Of home but out
side Of that he did not do so much
and we can not get the idea Of his
being captain of the Sox. Willie
kamm should have the Job. Shires
does not have the right attitude for
a captain. A bunch of students
gave the big fellow their regards by
sending apple cores in his direction.
