And If American business refuses to
work out solution of the current prob
lens by dealing with decent, moderate
and democratic organized labor, it may
in a few years, find less level-headed
group to deal with"
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor and a
veteran of the labor movement, was
the first speaker of the morning. He
Sketched the gains made by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor In the past 35
years, and urged the delegates to back
legislation that would make the Federal
and State Governments lead and not
follow private industry in such fields
as wage rates and old-age pension laws.
The most effective means of carrying
on the fight, he said, was the support
Of political candidates in sympathy with
the aims of labor.
Among the resolutions passed by the
convention was one asking the legaliZa-
ton of the manufacture Of beer and
wine for beverage purposes as means
OF improving the economic situation.

proved, asked the purchase by union

years down to and including the re-
sent settlement" he declared. Il fail to
find any grounds for the charge OF
discrimination. The only way any In
justice could be done would result from
an unreasonable charge for interest"
Inviting Gov. Richie to order an in
vestigation of the commission, Mr..
Bruce said:
How far my statement will go
know. Personally, would be delighted
If q critical examination were made Of
the organization we turned over to our
successors. The Governor has as State
auditor q man of high standing in the
community as certified public ac-
countant; he Is fully competent to re-
view our methods, or there would be
entailed no very great expense or labor
for the Governor to call in a group of
two or three public accountants to re-
view the system we have set up.
Operations Complicated.
1.-THE operations Of the State Road
Commission are much more compl-
Gated than the ordinary person realizes,
and it Is extremely dificult in any
brief statement to make clear their op-
erations. The only safeguard that ]
know is to keep the public fully In
formed on all the activities Of the COM
mission
Mr.. Bruce explained how the debt of
$4,000 had been allowed to accrue
in the case of Montgomery County by
saying that when his commission took
over the affairs of the old commission,
its accounts were IN such shape that
current affairs would have had to be
suspended to arrive at once at exact
figures regarding the debts Of the vari-
Gus counties to the State.

Billy, notwithstanding his age OF ID
years, is a seasoned competitor.
He is not known at all in the North
and West and will be big surprise to
a good many folks il he gets into the

Billy has all the equipment cham
pion should have, but he plays IN too
many tournaments. For his own good
he should confine himself to not more
than a half dozen q year, ana one OF
them should be the National Amateur.
THE fact that he could not play in
II the qualifying rounds for the Pro-
fessional Golfers Association

did not help the recovery of Fred Nc

Prior to his tonsil operation Freddie
had been assured he would be recovered
in time to play. but he had relapse.
He has not swung club for more than
month.

- Burke's unusual accuracy on the
long shots come about through a
forced compromise In his swing made
necessary by the fact that the third
finger on his left hand Is missing?
Golf experts have commented at length
on the unortbodox swing Of Burke, and
his amazing straightness from the tee
and through the green, but some have
overlooked the fact that because ne
cannot grip tightly with the left hand
he has been forced to compromise by
locking his right side against a hook
and does most Of his work with the
right hand.
we have been told for years that the
left hand is the guiding hand and the
power hand in the golf stroke, but
Billy's left hand lost much of its power
some years back when he lost his third
finger in an accident.
Notice his stroke when he appears at
