Hairline bidding, with game con-
tract at no-trump dependent upon one
thin stopper in an adversely bid suit,
gave us our first game on the fourth
rubber last night. AS an illustration Of
the elasticity Of the approach-forcing
system of bidding. the hand stands out
as a fine example.
In the following deal, with Mr., Lenz
opening the bidding in the North with
one spade, had three alternative bids
open to me to show my partner the
powerful honor trick strength in my
holding I could have doubled. jumped
the bid in diamonds or bid two spades,

showing about four honor tricks and

The jump overcall in diamonds was
ruled cut. because the suit was not
strong enough and it would have failed
to show the full honor strength. Fur
thermore, It, crowded the bidding to too
because 1t failed to show the full
strength, and my partner, with long
spades, might pass for penalty, which
would not sufficiently compensate for
the game, which felt could be made

BIZ Scripps-Hotodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The po-
ltical cast of the next house will be
decided in special congressional
elections today.
Likewise the results in the Gin
cinnati and Saginaw, Mich, dis
tricts will be interpreted by national
political committees as indicating
how the 1882 presidential wind is
blowing.
Five congressman will be elected
today. Doubt exists chiefly at Gin
cinnati and Saginaw. Vacancies
from Cleveland and Brooklyn will
be filled by Democrats, politicians
assert, while a Republican is ex-
pected to win in Philadelphia. A
vacancy in New Jersey will be filled
in December and one in New
Hampshire in January.
Democrats Have Margin
The house lineup today is 214
Democrats, 213 Republicans, l
Farmer-Laborite and Z vacancies.
The Cincinnati contest to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
Speaker Longworth at the start had
President Hoover's administration
as the foremost issue.
Both national committees were
ready to make Cincinnati a battle
ground, but local politicians vetoed
suggestions for nationally known
speakers and the congressional fight
was subordinated to a city council
fight, involving the city manager
form Of government.
Garner Likely Speaker
In the Saginaw district a rural
dry Republican was nominated to
oppose a wet Democrat from the
city.

railroad situation in general.
The proposal for a conference
with railroad executives was couched
as a give-and-take proposition. The
~brotherhoods actually do not want
to discuss wages, they desire a
remedy for such periods Of depres-
sion as the present, in which $780,
600 workers have lost their jobs.
The railroads do not want to discuss
the sterilization Of employment with
the unions; yet they r laying the
groundwork for wage reductions.
They want to talk about wages
and we want to talk about unem-
ployment," said D. B. Robertson,
chairman of the Railway Labor Ex-
ecutives Association. Why not do
both at the same time"
While Robertson would not say
that the unions were willing to
compromise on wages in return for
security of employment, the way
was left open for such a develop
ment around the conference table.

ed the Baptist Ministers Conference
of New York and vicinity, a confer

representing more than 10000 COM
municants, to pledge the support of
their organization to the struggle to
save the nine innocent Negro boys
railroaded to the electric chair by
the ScottShoro, Ala, boss court, he
met with determined resistance from
the holy brethren.
These reverend gentlemen, who are
linked up locally and nationally with
the vicious Tanlmany Hall machine
and the equally vicious Republican
Party are not concerned with stTug-
gle against lynch law and mob Vio-
lence that will bring the Negro mass
es into revolutionary activity. Pro-
tests which do not have the effect of
mobilizing the Negro masses for the
struggle against the boss system of
unemployment, starvation and mass
misery, lynching and other forms of
terror are satisfactory to these gown
ed tools of big business They have
no intention. however, of doing other
than sabotage any determined effort
to mobilize the Negro masses for reyo-
lutionary struggle against their sup
pressers.
1t was emily the determined support
of the rank and file members of the
conference which forced the leader
ship to endorse protest telegram to
Governor Miller of Alabama. And at
that they tried to take the teeth out
of the protest, insisting on striking
out all reference to the courts of the
southern landlords and capitalists,
Forced by the rank and file they
sent the following protest;
1.-THE Baptist Ministers Conference
