FALL CROP OF
BILLS STARTED
BY POLITICIANS
Plenty of Problems Presented
to Proletariat, Plump with
Plums for Pleasing Poll
ticians; Raring to Go
Jimmie K. Browne


There recently appeared in the
political arena two proposed bits
of legislation. These came from
the office of the secretary of the
Washington Retail Growers AS
ISOLATION in Seattle.
1t is believed that the plan is to
attempt these bills as initiative
measures. The first is an Anti
Discrimination Act, designed to
hit chain stores, but so drafted
that it might be construed as in
tended to repeal the regulatory
provisions of the state public util-
tiles act.
The new proposed bill makes it
unlawful for public utility to sell
power at different rates in various
parts of community or country.
A savings clause is inserted to
provide that transportation COSTS
be permitted where such enters
into the picture. However, as the
bill appears in printed form, there
is some question but it will work
greater hardship on some COM
munities than on others.
Designed primarily for the anti
chain store people, the bill is all
inclusive and opens tremendous
amount of trouble for Washing
ton manufacturers and producers
as well as distributors if ever en-
acted into law.
The second bill is called a Fair
Trade Act. It prohibits the sell
ing of standard article at price
less than that fixed by the manu-
facturer. This bill also has some
of the earmarks of being hastily
prepared without a study of the
federal trade acts which expressly
prohibit price fixing. This a ct
legalizes such actions.
The railroad employees of the ma
ton have agreed upon flat ten
percent cut in their wages, a re-
duction which has already been
taken by virtually every business
and industrial activity in tn e
country.
By their actions the railroad
men have sliced 1925, 000, 600 a
year from the railroad payrolls, or
in other words have removed from
the horizon temporarily at least
the fear that this spring would see

In their workouts to date the Grove street campaigners nave shown plenty of power, both of- fensively and vice-versa. The in field, with the exception of a catch CT, will be practically the same as last year although new outfield will do the patroling this year ana appears like one which will be su- perior to their predecessors.
 Inellgibles Hurting Team as A dependable and consistent catcher is the only worry of Coach Jimmy Lee. Jack Driscoll and '"Red" Reynolds, "31" lettermen. will not don uniforms as both are ineligible enthusiastically, such be- ing the case of Frankie Day, hard hitting shortstop. With this trio in good standing the Leemen would be sitting on top of the world ana probably resting atop the Naug- atuck Valley League, believe 1t or not.

Joe Rossi is also seeking hillock duty as Is a freshman youth named Benson who stands six feet two and who possesses everything but experience. This lad is what Lee terms a "promising prospect.
 BriOtti Back at First

 Tie Warmers

Admirers of the Waterbury Portuguese soccer football team had something to talk about yes terday as they came home alter watching their favorites tie the Warner Rangers of Bridgeport at Seaside Park, 2-2, with only nine men on the field. In view of the fact that Waterbury's best hooters. including Thompson, Bowes, Campbell, Bright. Morrissey and Marr did not get into the game. the performance of the Brass City men was as good as victory. for their opponents are. rated as one of the states best soccer teams.

 Though the entrly list numbers 241, only about 200 are expected to start, because of the usual last minute drop-outs.
 Another Try
 Clarence De Mar, 4s-year old seven times winner from Keene, N. H., again will be the chief interest of the thousands who annually line the Hopkinton-to Boston course. He has trained diligently and ex- pressed a keen desire to earn Q place on his fourth Olympic team.
 Second interest will probably be shared by Jimmy Henigan of Medford, last years winner, and Willie Ritola, New York Finn. Henigan won after years of effort. while Ritola. who ran the race only once. finished second to De Mar. The Finn is receiving much of his support. because of his long, successful career as distance rum ner.

To-day's Sport
 Parade
BY HENRY McLEMoRE frrutte(i Press Stan Correspondent

New York, April 18-(u. P.) Joe Jacobs is wise guy, a very wise guy. To get ahead of the man one must rise with the chickens. Nnd even that doesn't always WorK for Jacobs has a way of getting LID with what gets up before the chickens to get their first.
 You understand. of course, that Jacobs wisdom isn't of the uni- versity sort. The man propaply kinks Petrach was a Chicago lightweight. and the reformation just another short, short story about bad little doll hitting the straight n narrer.
 But along the winding, shady trails of Broadway, particularly those which lead through prize fighting's muggy swamps, Jacobs needs no guide. He kncws all the s,gns, all the answers. Yet With all his smartness Joe IS acting very dum-like in the handling oi ais 24-garat meal ticket. Maxie Schmeling. heavyweight champion of the world.
 Tn the handsome German boy J0c not only has one hell of a sweet scrapper: he has, and you ask any of the boys who know him if you doubt me probably fhe most thoroughly likeable chan the heavyweight division has had for To these many years. It's hard to picture heavyweight tighter with charm, intelligence. grnciousness and all those other things that go to make up a gen. tieman after all the mugSs we've been accustomed to. But the Ger ran boy has all these things.
 And Jacobs, if only for the cake of his own pocketbaak, should let the public in on the real Schmeling. Maybe he has tried to. If he has, he certainly has made three-ply bust Of matters.
 This exhibition tour they're in the midst of proved that. They've made about four stops and four thousand enemies so far. This would indicate that Brother Ja- cobs. a little bit tough 10 put It nice. with that black srogie stick ing out the corner of his mouth, isn't exactly the man to create good will.
 And don't think this booing and missing that Schmeling has been hearing improves him as a fighter. Che of the main purposes of the tour was to build up the cham pfon's confidence by letting him hear the roar-the friendly roar ---of the crowd. He's heard the roar, all right. but it's been about as friendly as the "bowdy" of an annoyed lion. Too much of that and his confidence will suffer. And a fighter without confidence is a ship without ah-a-er-ah. oh yes.
 And don't ever let anyone tell you a fighter likes to step in the r.ng and be greeted with what Is st netimes referred to as the bird. For they don't None of lem. But schmeiing Is certain 10 get 1t when he gets in there against Eharkey unless Brother Jacobs turns the job of popularizing s;chmeling 10 a man who knows what it's all about. It wouldn't take q very smart man to turn fhe trick. For. believe 1t or not, he's . swell guy.
 Have you noticed how these Nov York Yankees have been scoring their runs lately? Not In r,1scs not in tWos, not threcs, but iu bunchcs of Ave. What does that -cmIuG you of7 Uh huh, you 5nc<~cd Il.
