The New Haven Eagles, most of
whom have already departed for
their homes in various parts Of
Canada, establishing a pretty fair
record as players in the Canaan
league this season, as most every
one knows. i. But what is not
generally known Is that they also
proved themselves to be fairly well
vcrsed in the ways of making
money as amateur financiers. ..
By taking advantage Of the de-
preciated Canadian dollar every
member of the squad, with the ex-
ception OF Robby Roberts, who Is
a native Of Massachusetts,, was able
by clever manipulating to increase
the amount of their monthly pay
checks about 20 per cent. In
order to take full advantage of the
opportunity to pyramid their
monthly stipends, the players lived
just as economically as possible
during the season and sent the bal
arce to relatives and friends in
Canada after converting their Unit
ed States dollars into Canadian
!, dollars which could be purchased
for about 80 cents. In some
cases, according to source close
! to the players enough money
was made on the low rate of ex-
change to pay the players expenses
during the summer season. -.

RATE BASE URGED
ON j. S. NEWSPR|NT
Examiner Submits Report
Seeking Uniformity in
Rail Charges.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
John H. Howell, an examiner, today
recommended to the Interstate Com
msFc Commission a basis for fixing
rates on newsprint paper throughout
the East and South.
The report which yet must be acted
upon by the commission, comes after
four years of investigation. 1t does not
fr. definite rates except in two in
stances. 1t recommends in most in
stances that the commission give the
carriers the privilege of charging sixth
class key rates or siXth-claSs distance
rates, whichever are lower, within
Eastern rate making territory including
Illinois and west bank Mississippi River
crossings as far South as Cairo, Ill.
Refuse to Commit.
From destinations in the Eastern and
West trunk line territory to the South
the rate would be based on scale
known as the K-2 basic f1rst-class scale
and would require a charge Of not to
exceed % per cent of this-ecale.
Between points in the South. the
rato would be 27.5 per cent of the K-2
scale.
No o-s at the commission today was
prepared to say just what effect the
IdlCS, NOuiA AAoN'N SS
creasing or lowering charges now IN
effect. Attorneys who worked on the
case said their study of the report IN
dicated slight increase in official terri
tory and virtual retention of the present
rates in the South.
Examiner Howell was not in his once
today. In his report. however, he eX-'
pressed no opinion as to the effect OF
the rates. At one point he said that
'the effect of the findings here proposed
to rates to New York be increases from
New England and both increases ana
reductions from New York mills. The
only substantial reductions would be
from Corinth and Glens Falls.
Uniformity Sought.
"There has been an adjustment lack
ing the uniformity which seems deslr-
able in the future, but the question is
one of reasonableneSs and not OF undue
preference and prejudice, and on the
record there is insufficient basis for con-
clusion that the sssailed rates from New
England and New York were unreason-
able.
"Nor can it be concluded that the
sssailed rates from Canada were In eX-
cess of reasonable rates"

OVER FRAU HTK|N
Grandmother of Revolution
Again Center of Political
Storm in Reich.
BY the Associated Press.

Clara Zetkin, 75-year-old grand
mother Of the German revolution, again
is the center of political storm in Ber-
lin.
Parliamentary precedence would put
this Communist leader. the oldest men,
Der of the ReichStag. in the chair when
the new Reichstag assemblies tomorrow,
and she would remain in that position
until permanent president for the body
is elected.
However, German newspapers oppos-
ing the radical groups insist it would
be an insult to Nationalist Germany for
Frau zetkin to preside even for single
day.
For some time the elderly woman
leader has been in poor health, and it
may be the row will be avoided through
her absence from the opening of the
ReichStag because Of illness.
August was her 18th birthday, and
at that time she was too weak to par
tlclPate in the celebration in her honor
by Communist organizations.
But only physical incapacity will keep
Frau Zetkin away from a political bat
tie. Since 1878 she has been active in
the workers movement in Germany.
she became identified with the Socialist
movement in the fatherland more than
so years ago, when it was illegal.
Arrest and imprisonment held no ter
ror for her. She lived in Switzerland
from 1880 to $780, associated With radi-
cal refugees from Russia and other
countries and wrote and spoke constant
" in the interest of Socialist move
ments. She also participated in the
labor movement in France. and returned
to Germany in 1890 to edit a Socialist
Journal
After the formation of the German
Communist party in 1918 she remained
with the Social Democratic party for a
time. but in 1919 joined the Commu-
nlsts and became a member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the party.
Frau zetkin has made many trips to
Russia since tie bolshevist regime took
