SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
in TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Oct. 28. U.P)-In
which we offer, gratis. free and post
paid, a few personal opinions on
football:
/. That this business of giving
publicity to high scorers on jerk wa
ter elevens is very much the malar-
key. Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred "Glutz of Siwash' has
scored his l6 touchdowns against a
team that couldn't stop a nose bleed.
Yet Glutz's name, like about Abou
Ben Adhem's, is stuck up above all
the rest, and he is hailed as the
country's scoringest fool.
2. That Columbia, after it plays
Cornell Saturday, will realize one
swallow does not make summer.
and one victory over Dartmouth
does not make team.
3. That Albie Booth. like Mark
Twain's death. was greatly exagger-
ated. And that the coaches who
made his entrances into game
such theatrical bits, worked severe
hardship on his chances.
4. That Yale, in the fourth quar-
ter of the Army game was the most
mismanaged team in years.
S. That the effete east is playing
it's best football in many moons, but
will continue to lag behind other
sections of the country until its
players learn to block and tackle
wickedly.
6. That if Barry Wood was sincere
when he said he never read news
paper accounts of his prowess, he
should be placed in glass cage and
preserved as the sports freak of the
age.
7. That punters who get off kicks
that roll out of bounds within the
opponents 10-yard line are only
lucky and deserve no credit for
magic feet "uncanny accuracy"
and the like.
8. That Notre Dame and Georgia
will wind up the 1881 season as the
two great teams of the year.
9. That All-American teams are
sillier than guys who carry umbrel-
las.
10. That Jack Grossman of the
next-to-nothing Rutgers eleven. is
the best backfield man In the east.
IL. That Paul Riblett of Pennsyl-
vania is the best end in this neck
of the woods.
u. That All-America pickers this
year face tough job in naming the
quarterback. If they name McEVer
of Tennessee, there's Wood of Har-
ward. And if they name Wood,
there's McEver.
An enterprising young woman re-
porter has dug up the fact that a
former captain of Princetons foot
ball team Is a section manager In
the ladies bloomers department OF
the New York store.
Which makes two former Prince
ton football heroes who are dealing
with boomers. The other is A
Wittmer, head coach of the 1881
Princeton varsity.
Here's a good way to make some
easy money. The next person yor
meet, bet him he can't name the
scores of the 1881 world series
games.

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, Oct. %. U.P)-The
stock market today broke to new
lows for several days i'll more active
turnover.
Heavy pressure converged most
of the day on U. S. Steel, the rail-
road shares and some of the util-
tiles.
A rally late in the day induced
by another furry in wheat failed
to hold when the grain reacted on
burst of selling as the highs
which were new tops for the sea-
son.
Wall Street was pleased with the
landslide of the Conservative party
in Great Britain, but the majority
of traders were apprehensive over
prospects of tariff for Britain un-
der the new government.
This factor combined with sew
eral unfavorable domestic develop
ments worked against the stock
market
The railroad net operating in
come for the month of September
was down 43 per cent, as compared
with September, 1890, and 81 per
cent down from the 1929 month.
This, together with adverse diyi-
dend actions, brought heavy SELL
ing into the rails.

CALLS PROPOSED
WAGE CUT ATTACK
ON ALL R. R. PAY
Attorney for Shopmen Sees
National Significance in
Move By Louisiana &
Arkansas Railroad.

Shreveport, La. (ILNS)-Conten-
ton that the proposed five cents an
hour wage cut for Louisiana and Ar
kansas railroad shopmen is a "break
in the dyke" of national railway
wage scales was made by union rep
resentatives opposing the cut at
hearing before President Hoover's
emergency mediation board.
Donald Richberg, attorney for the
shopmen's union, raised the point,
which was Immediately challenged by
A. L. Burford, attorney for the rail
road. Burford denied that the L. &
A. cut had national significance, and
declared: ''This is purely a local stu
ton. The railroad is endeavoring to
solve its own problems as best as pos
sible. There is no intent to break
down the standard of wages or the
standard of living"
In opening the workers case, Rich
berg said: "This proposed cut is of
more effect than merely reducing the
pay of L. & A. employees; it is a
break in the dyke of the heretofore
consistent wage scale paid to railroad
employees in the national railroad sys-
tenn. Heretofore, the L. & A. has
maintained scale in effect through
out the nation and the reduction as
proposed by the railroad now threat
ems the standard of wages and the
standard of living of the entire sys-
tenn"
B. M. Jewell, president of the rail
way employers department of the
American Federation of Labor, closed
the case for the workers with testi-
mony on conferences called by Presi-
dent Hoover in the fall of 1929. Jewel
said these conferences resulted in a
promise by union leaders that no wage
increases would be asked during the
business depression, and pledge by
railroad officials that they would not
reduce wages.
The L. & A controversy hinges on
a posted five cents an hour wage re-
duction for shop craftsmen which re-
suited in a vote for a suspended
strike. Following the statement of
c. P. Couch, executive vice president
Of the railroad, that a personal tour
of the shops had convinced him that
majority of the l.. & A. workers did
not favor strike, H. ]. Carr, general
vice president of the Machinists'
Union, who tabulated the strike vote,
told the emergency board that out of
an undetermined number of ballots
sent out, 179 returned votes to strike,
20 voted against it and 16 came back
without vote marked

MACHINE
Takes Court House Typists'
Jobs

Greensboro, N. C. (ILNS)-The de-
mon machine has moved into the Gull
ford county court house In its wake
it has left unemployment and despair.
-Four typists in the office of the reg
lister of deeds who have ratified their
typewriters for months that have
heightened into several years will find
themselves on the streets and minus
their jobs on July /. Perhaps one of
the typists in the clerk of the courts
office will be with them A photo
static machine will do the work they
have been doing for the county all
these years.
Burning with self-righteous de-
sire to economize, the county board
of commissioners hit upon the idea of
buying and installing a photostatic
machine to eliminate typists in the
recording of deeds and mortgages in
the register of deeds office. The ma
chine will cost $4,000, which includes
the expense of installing it, fitting up
a dark room, and instructing one of
the bright young men in the register
of deeds office in the simple art of
operating the machine.

BROTHERHOOD CHIEFS
DENY RAIL WAGE CUTS

New York.-Executives of railroad
brotherhoods deny that they or their
members will accept wage reductions.
President Johnson, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers declar-
ed in no uncertain terms that "there
will be no reduction
There is no justification for these
reductions" he said.
There is no truth in the rumor
that we've discussed wages with any
one," said President Robertson, of the
locomotive fremen. President Whit
ney, of the trainmen, takes the same
position.

HIGH PAY SCALES
HELD BIG FACTOR
in CHILD HEALTH
William Green Points Out
Adequate Incomes For
Workers Promote Chill
dren's Physical, Mental
and Spiritual Welfare.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Ade-
quate wage scales for the workers
promote child health and happiness,
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clared in a radio address given as part
of the observance of May / as "Child
Health Day" Mr. Green directed at
tention to the suffering of children
during the unemployment crisis and
said that it must be made possible
for fathers and mothers to earn a
wage sufficient to supply children
with the things which make for
health, development, education, happi-
ness and usefulness.
"The children of our nation" Mr..
Green continued, "are the most
precious treasures we can claim and
it is our duty, and should be consid-
cred our privilege, to provide them
with the finest and happiest living
conditions possible. The purpose of
the white house conference on child
health and protection is to set forth
an understanding of those safeguards
which will assure to them health in
mind and body Embodied in the
American Federation of Labor pro-
gram is much the same ideal; for the
child, the right to live the life of child
hood, unhampered by industrial work
and with the opportunity for an edu-
cation which will prepare him to be-
come a useful and happy citizen, ca
pable of earning living when he
reaches maturity.
Adequate Incomes Vital
"In order to bring about the reali-
zation of this ideal it is necessary to
provide the family with an income
adequate to meet its needs. The prob
lem of the provision of such an in
come is national problem, not con-
| fined solely to one family, one group
or a single community. 1t is national
in scope and is of the utmost national
Importance. Upon the degree of sue
cess reached in securing steady and
adequate income rests the home life OF
the children of our country, and upon
the home-life rests the civilization of
our time.
"Much of the fear and unhappiness
found in our national life is due to
the insecurity of employment. For
years people have accepted the idea
that unemployment and industrial de-
pressions are to be expected and are
evils that must be borne. We have
shouldered the curse of poverty and
suffered through periods of depres-
sion thinking that such is 'willed to
be- However, now, in iris enlight-
ened age, we know that such occur
rences are not unavoidable"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-05-22

The proposed amendment would
give congress the power to "limit
regulate and prohibit the labor OF
persons under 18 years"
Congress believed it had that power
when it denied the products of child
labor to interstate commerce. This
was declared void by the United
States supreme court. Congress then
passed tax law, levying on the prod.
ucts of plants that employ child la.
Dor. This, also, was held to be void
Congress then passed the amendment
and has submitted it to the states for
ratification.
