STRONG BOUTS
ARE ON BILL
Meets Poulos And
O'Brien Takes On
Waters
(By staff Correspondent

tBv Staff correspondent
HARLINGEN. July z. - This
should be a large evening for VAL
ley wrestling fans
Young Stecher meets Geo. Poul-
o. and Patrick O'Brien takes on
Cowboy Teddy Waters in an elm
ination to select an opponent for
Hugh Nichols. light heavyweight
champion who is to appear in
Harlingen in the near future.
Winners Of the Stecher-Poulos
and OfBrien-Waters mills will be
placed together next week to de-
termine Nichols opponent.
Let that come when IL will, we
are now interested in the two
bouts at hand tonight.
Stecher, known as the Cops
Companion as a result OF his
blowdeo with Pat O'Brien on the
last card, takes on Geo. Poulous.
If Mr.. Stecher still Is In a slug
g1ng mood, he has come 70 the
right person in the Awful Greek.
Where other wreStlers who think
they're tough leave off. that's just
where Poulos begins. All In all. 1t
looks like a warm session for Mr..
Stecher tonight. The Policeman's
Pal is in for some tough shedding.
II the dope goes through true 70
form.
The other bout should be a slam
bang affair filled with good wrest-
ling. O,Brien will furnish the
comic relief. When he expector-
ateS on his hands and starts in as
IL he were throwing dirt out of a
ditch. it's just too bad for his OPP
ponent However, that's just part
Of his showmanship. Pat really is
a clever wrestler and he should be
able TO show it against Waters. a
nifty mat performer himself. Wat
ers and O'Brien are both popular
in the Harrington arena.
Last week O'Brien took a slug
ging from Stecher and then chased
him into the crowd when the Cops
arrived TO rescue the beleaguered
Stecher person.
Rounding out the card. Everett
zook, Del Rio product. takes on a
suitable opponent.
The bouts get under way at 8:f6
p. m. at the Legion arena.

GEORGE RAPS PLAN
TO HIKE RAIL RATES
Senator, in Brief to !. c. c.,
! Supports Protests Made
by Georgia Shippers.
BY the Associs ed Press.

BY the Associs ed Press.
VIENNA. Ga. July "A brief sup
porting protests of certain Georgia
shippers against the petition Of rail-
roads for a Is per cent freight rate
increase was forwarded to the Inter
state Commerce Commission today by
United States Senator Walter F.
The brief contained five major con-
tentionS.
First, the Senator pointed out, prices
have been quoted and contracts made
in certain lines, particularly the build
ing trade, and an immediate revision
upward Of freight rates would be "ul-
tair" to these interests.
Says Boost will Cut Profits.
Second he commended, ut is obvious
chat increased taxes or Increased fixed
charges of any character which must
be covered in the cost of production
will retard, rather than hasten, the
restoration Of normal conditions"
His third point was that he did not
believe an increase in freight rates at
the time will result in increased revenue
for the carriers, but that the requested
is per cent raise would, in the long
run, result in reduced revenues for the
carriers through diverting traffic to
other forms of transportation.
His fourth contention was that agri-
cultural products, especially perishable
foods. fruits and vegetables, cannot
stand the increase asked
Cites Act on Returns.
Finally, the Senator submitted that
Che transportation act does not guar
entee a return OF 534 per cent to the
!. railroads on their invested capital. He
: said the act provides for a reasonable
return and that the commission had
fixed 534 per cent as reasonable
return.
He added it was the obligation of
the commission to consider the general
economic conditions. particularly those
adverse ones affecting producefs, ship
pers and consumers, as well as the
carriers.

LABOR IMPROVES
RAIL SERVICE

Four years ago officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company es-
tablished a bureau of new ideas for
the improvement of transportation on
the Pennsylvania system. The new
ideas were to be submitted by the
employees of the company.
Since the inception of the bureau,
Pennsylvania employees have submit
ted 5000 suggestions to better the
service. Of these, company officials
adopted more than 1000 and embod-
led them in railroad operation.
Company officials recently award
ed cash prizes for the three best sug-
gestions adopted for the current six
months period. The first prize, 500,
was paid to an electrician; the sec
ond, $50, to a clerk, and the third
$25, to a conductor.
The accepted suggestions belong of
course to the railroad company and
are used to create profits for those
who own the road.
The reports of the company 9 not
mention suggestions for improved
service made by stockholders or bond
owners.
Evidently labor not only does the
necessary work in railroad transpor-
tation, but also provides the ideas
for its improvement.

 A plentiful supply of fish, which reduces feeding costs to mini mum, and productive soil in which can be grown cereals neces- sary for feeding of fur bearers are factors which make the Kusko- kwim a strategical point for the establishment of fur farms, the Fairbanks News-Miner quotes MT.
