VETERAN FIGHTER LEADS RAIL MEN
 FOR 6-HOUR DAY

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 26.-A veteran of rail disputes is leading thousands of railroad workers in fight for six-hour day.
 He is A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen with headquarters here. Since obtaining a job as freight brakeman at Is, Whitney has taken part in eight wage movements.
 The fight in which he now is leader is aimed largely at relief of the unemployment situation. Two results are sought: first, six-hour day or five day week, and sec- ond, the stabilization of rail em- ployment.
 Whitney was born in 1873 at Ce- dar Falls, Iowa. To achieve his childhood ambition of becoming a railroad worker he started as a news agent when Is.
 In 1889 Whitney became brake man for the Illinois Central. After working for three railroads he was appointed freight conductor for the Chicago and Northwestern. In 1896 he became a member of the Eagle Grove, Iowa, chapter of the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen and since has been leading rail labor CTS in their long series of fights for better conditions.
 Whitney served as trustee and vice president of the ation a Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen before being elected president in 1928. That year he took a leading part in the western wage move ment sponsored by conductors and trainmen.
 In the last two years Whitney has made more than 200 speeches in United States and Canada, all ways stressing the necessity for a shorter working day as the only cure for the unemployment situa- tion which he says has resulted largely from introductions of auto matic machinery.

COACH OF COAST
 GRID KINGS SAYS
 EAST-WEST EQUAL

PULLMAN, Wash, Dec 26.-O. E. Babe" Hollingbery, coach of the Washington State college foot ball champions of the Pacific Coast, is one man at least who believes that far west elevens aren't superior to those of the east.
 And Hollingbery aired his opinion before Notre Dame licked Southern California 27-0, to confound the experts who freely predicted that the Trojans would win.
 If there is a difference the reason might be that varsity foot ball is newer on the vest Holling- bery said shortly after his team defeated Villanova in an intersec- tional contest.
 Our boys are filled with the

STONEHAM PURCHASES
 NEW YORK CLUB STOCK

f. NEW YORK, Dec. 2G.-Daseoail's S frequently recurring announcement that Charles A. Stonehom is to be busted as president of the New York Giants. is apparently in for very dull winter. For several years past this report has sprung up with regularity during the off season, while the winds hoWled loudly and snowflakes were thickest. But some other rumor must take it's place during the dull weeks which ensue until the ball players fit south ward for spring training.
 Stoneham today owns more stock than at any previous time since ne, John McGraw and Ma g tra e Frank Mcclure took over the Brush holdings back in 1919. Through a deal just completed the president of the Giants has become the own CT of some of the stock which for almost two years had been con- trolled by William F. Kenny.
 f Starts Buying
 Kenny, it will be remembered, caused something of sensation to baseball circles when he took over 20 per cent of the clubs holdings in December, 1928. This block of stock had previously been held by Boston men and had been on the market some time before Kenny bought it. Immediately there were reports that Kenny was to take over majority control and that Al Smith would be installed as Presi- dent of the club.
 Stoneham promptly contradicted the report, insisted that he would continue to direct the affairs of the club, and the developments proved that the Kenny deal in no way affected Stoneham's position A few months ago a suit was brought against Stoneham by the min ority stockholders, including Kenny, demanding an accounting, but this apparently has been drop ped, or a satisfactory accounting made.
 Seeks Control ] The Kenny stock apparently has been split up among several pur- ohasers. Stoneham admitted yester- day. that he had taken some of it, but that he was not certain about the identities of the other purchasers.
 Stoneham had close to 60 per- cent in his control before acquiring this new stock. The deal was han dledt through ex-Judge Delehanty, who had served as attorney for MT Kenny.
 The acquisition of this stock puts Stoneham in a stronger position than he had heretofore and makes it clear that he is more than satis- fled with his holdings. The Giants have not been pennant winners since 1924, but they have played annually to big business, and Stone ham has no inclination to dispose of his property.

Back from the west, Mac Smiths next major move in the 1881 golf battle will be in the direction of his old home, Carnoustie, where the British Open is to be played late in the spring.
 Carnoustie will have the welcome sign out for it's native son. If fa- miliar surroundings are as helpful as they proved to Jock Hutchinson at St. Andrews in 1921, Mac Smith should win and break the jinx that for twenty years has kept one of the greatest of all shotmakers from scaling the championship heights.

CONFERENCE POLICY
SOUGHT BY BRITAIN
Demands of Dominion Show
New Spirit in
Empire.

BY Radio to The Star.
LONDON, England, September 81
The government and leaders of the
opposition are seeking common ground
on British policy for the Indian Round
Table Conference in November. AS
this is written, it is impossible to say
what the outcome will be. The demands
and threats of the dominions are
significant in themselves and they
demonstrate how momentous both the
Indian Round Table and the Imperial
Conference are for the empire.
New Spirit Is Shown.
Symptomatic Of the new spirit are
the demands of the dominions to be
submitted at the Imperial Conference.
1t is expected that Great Britain will
abandon her present right to "disallow"
dominion legislation. The dominion
Parliaments have been sovereign in
practice and now are TO be formally
recognized as such.
Henceforth Great Britain will be
powerless to interfere with the South
African treatment of natives, for
example. It will be unable to protect
minorities such as the Southern
Loyalists in Ireland.
Henceforth Great Britain will be
powerless to control merchant shipping
legislation in the, various dominions.
Canada could legislate its own merchant
marine flag to replace the Union Jack,
If it chose.
England Acts AS Equal.
The picture would not be complete
If these associations of independence
alone are remembered. An imperial
supreme court will doubtless result from
the conference, as will numerous other
voluntary measures linking the various
members of the commonwealth. The
signifiance lies in that, with the ex-
ception of India, Great Britain is
really functioning as an equal rather
than as dominator in the deliberations
of the British commonwealth.
