LAW RESTRICTIONS
ON BUSINESS DRAW
HEARTY CRITICISM
Business Men Believe Present
Statutes Prevent Legiti-
mate Cooperation

Atlantic City. N. j.. May 2.-4Y-
Out Of three days of discussion b.
the leaders Of American business. at
tending the convention of the Unitet
States chamber OF commerce, ha!
come one definite thought-that, il
the opinion of business men, the de.
preston will be overcome and stabil
ity permanently achieved only whei
government removes the restrictions
that business men believe now prevent
legitimate cooperation.
julius H. Barnes, reelected chair.
man of the board of directors of the
chamber, Friday night advocated
reduction of rates OF duty in the Haw-
ley-Smoot tariff Law. and said this
move would calm foreign countries
which he said were retaliating against
exports from this country, and aic
business recovery.
A change in the tariff. he believed
would lead to resumption of trade ana
could be accomplished without affect
ing American standards of living. He
also said reduction of the 121. pei
cent rate OF tax OH capital gains and
loss, would have a tendency to stem
speculation in times of prosperity.
Barnes placed most Of the blame
for the depression directly on world
vice political interference with bust
ness.
He vigorously denied business culp-
ability. holding that it has been pre-
vented from accomplishing it's wishes
by antitrust laws that no longer are
valid: BY burdensome taxation and
excessive governmental expenditures
and by government competition In
the field of private business.
He pointed out to the flood of silver
that India released as a commodity:
to the entrance Of government in
America into the cotton and wheat
markets: of the virtual d~efalcation of
debts by an Australian state. and to
legal restrictions that have prevented
business from joining its forces even
within industries to keep level the
business curve.
In passing a resolution urging that
the chamber sponsor a campaign to
find definitely just where government
is competing with private endeavor.
and then to pursue q vigorous and
continuous campaign against such
competition, the chamber announced
more definitely than ever before that
business men hold this one point Of
pre-eminent Importance.
Social planning within companies
and by small groups of companies was
heartily praised, but any suggestion
that a general economic planning
council that would be under govern
ment supervision be set up met vigor-
u opposition.
Mr.. Barnes foresaw that some sort
of advisory national planning body
growing out of trade associations
might result as soon as the aSsocia-
lions were allowed to develop in a
more thorough cooperative manner.

The situation today, he contended,

Taft said the Wheat Growers do
not expect to operate the wheat pool
Tor the 1881 crop year unless the price
OF wheat advances materially. It has
done business on money borrowed
from the federal intermediate credit
bank, he said. and has always adj
vanced 10 per cent of the market
price to growers at the time they de-
livered their wheat. With grain at
current prices. he said, farmers can
hardly exist If they get the full mar
ket value Of their grain at once. He
indicated. however, that the wheat

Larkin said the only concern of the
railroad board will be to liquidate the
assets of the company, check over
the outstanding storage tickets and
gay them off under order of the
court. In addition to the outstanding
storage tickets, he said, the company
has a few outstanding checks. but
emphasized his belief that the assets
and the bords would provide more
than enough money to pay all stor-
age ticket holders in full. He asked
that holders of storage tickets send
them in to the state railroad board
so that it can begin its
check. Unless this is done, he said,

LEGION CLOSES
 LEAGUE SEASON, BEATING MOOSE.
Vets Trim Moose 8 to } and End Latter s Chance
 for l931 Pennant


 The American Legion last night blasted the hopes Of the Moose for part in championship honors for 1931, and brought the current base ball season to an end when they walloped the PapS by a score of 8 to 3. It was the first time this half that the Moose nave bowed to the Vets. ~ q. Bob Keaton hurled unbeatable ball, holding the Moose sluggers to seven hits, five of which came in the seventh and last frame in which they scored their three runs.
 The Vets Grovo Erskine from the mound in the third and hit Os- borne even harder in the next three frames. They scored five i, runs off the former, aided by some poor playing on the part of the Moose and added another trio of tallies off Osborne's delivery
 The defeat of the Moose auto matically gives the second half title to the Elks. AS the latter also won the first half, to them goes the championship of 1881 without the formality of having to play the post-season series.
 How It Was Done
 With two men away in the last half of the first inning. Ted Keaton was safe at first on Jack Schmitz's tumble of his grounder. Haines singled to center, Ted going to third and Haines taking second on the throw in.
 Ramsay made a fine run for Hollmann's fly to left then dropped the ball and both runners scored easily Bill Schmitz booted Ellis grounder putting two men on, but Heinke famed to retire the side
 The Vets got two more gift runs in the second. Little Mac dropped Erskine's throw and Bob Keaton was safe at first to start the ball rolling. Brodie flied out to center. Worth slamed out a triple to center, scoring Bob and scored himself minute later on Livingston's fly to left.
 In the third, the Vets chalked up another score Haines opened with shrieking double to left, his second successive hit. Holl- his second successive hit. Hon- mann famed and Ellis went out shcrc to first while Haines was held at second. Heinke grounded to short and Jack Schmitz's throw to nab Haines at third was late, both runners being safe,

ped rounding second and was thrown out at that bag before he could get back.
 Osborne On The Mound
 Osborne succeeded Erskine in the fourth and was welcomed with a barage from the Legion bats that scored two more runs. Brodie singled cleanly to right. Worth bunted down thirdbase line and Brodie sprinted to third while Worth was being thrown out at first. Livingston singled to left, scoring Brodie, and took second when Ramsay overplayed and. let the ball get away. Ted Keaton parked the apple among the cars back of right center for a triple, scoring Livingston.
 Worth doubled to start the sixch After two men were thrown out at first Haines clouted out his third hit, a double to left, and Worth scored for the last Legion tally.
 Moose Rally In Seventh
 Until the final frame the Moose were helpless F. Schnitz doubled in the second but expired on base. George Worth made a great try for the ball, running across the walk and with a leaping stab grabbed the ball in his glove, but couldn't hold it. His stop prob ably robbed Fritz of a homer.
 In the fifth, J. Schmitz doubled to left but didn't progress Neno got to first in the sixth when Brodie dropped his low fly in right center after hard run. But he, too, passed away painlessly on base.
 In the seventh Keaton let down a bit at the outset. Big Mac open ed it with a double to left. He went to third on B.. Schmitz's sim

Claud Eriskine, star Moose pitch CT who had been announced as tied with Andrews and Boyd for the home run king title in the City League, has faded from the picture. This is the result of a recheck of batting statistics by Official Scorer Ed Mize which dis closed an error in his compilations ard reduced Erskine's circuit clouts to five.

 F. Schmitz singled to send Os- borne to third, and went to sec ond on the throwin. Keaton then clamped the screws on, striking out Erskine and Nello to end the game and the 1881 City League baseball season. kt

error column by a wide margin.
 The home run king gets more than title. He is the recipient of a brand new suit of fine clothes from B. M. Behrends. So when three men are neck and neck for it. it's time to check back for possible mistakes. That is just what Mize did last night after the Legion plastered the Moose with an 8 to 3 trimming.
 The result was announced as follows:
 "A close check-up found Erskine with five homers in the score book, and six in the statistical book which the scorer had kept for quick reference. Further scanning showed that in copying into the other book, the results of the game with the Legion, July g, the scorer had enormously chalked Erskine up with homer. which was never made. Thus Boyd and Andy are the leaders with six homers, count ing the hit that Andy made in Douglas that was lost in the grass in the last half of the ninth"
