The owners at their annual joint meeting also bowled over one of the commissioners pet policies by discarding the mandatory sale of world series tickets in blocks for three games and permitting clubs to sell them for one or two games.
 Some Salary
 The white-haired commissioner emerged from the meeting. at which he presided, without suffer- ing cut in his $65,000 salary.
 He has been opposed to chain store baseball ever since this sys- tenn whereby major league clubs took over minor league franchises for developing young players, was exploited widely by the St Louis Cardinals and other powerful cluLs.
 But yesterday he was forced vir- tually to accept the system when the proprietors voted unanimously that all player transactions be- tween major and farm clubs must be regarded exactly the same as between major and outside minor clubs.
 Previously Commissioner Landis had refused to accept dealings within A chain system as independ- ent transactions. He insisted that players owned by major clubs were still under control of those clubs when they were farmed out. by op- ton or otherwise.
 Iandis Angle
 He claimed that if major clubs were permitted to farm out play CT indefinitely, it endangered the chances of young players ever breaking into big league baseball in cases where the owning ciup had failed to recognize their abil- ity. Consequently he ruled Una, when a player had been farmed out three times, without waivers, he became a free agent and no longer belonged to the club.
 This free agent ruling caused much conflict with the owners and it reached a deadlock last year in the Herschel Bennett case in which Iandis declared Outfielder Bennett d free player after Phil Ball, own CT! of the St Louis Browns, had optioned him out three times to Brown farm clubs.
 Ball sued Landis to test the commissioner power. but dropped the suit when other club owners assured him they would pass yes- terday's amendment killing the ruling.
 No Radio Ban
 4 proposal to ban broadcasting of baseball games was not consid- cred by the meeting because more than two hours of stormy debate showed that the owners could not hope for unanimous vote on the question.
 The date for fixing the 23-p1ayer limit was advanced from June 15 to May 15, however, June 15 still stands as the dead-line for inter- club trading without a waiver.
 The minor league draft agree- ment was sanctioned and will com tinue in force for seven more, years, dating from February 4. 1881.

HOW CONGRESS STANDS.

Complete returns from every Congressional Dis trct of the recent election gave the Democratic Party the largest representation in the National House any party has had. The standing of the parties is: Democrats 314 Republicans 16, Farmer Labor 5. This gives the Democrats lead over the Republicans of 198 and majority over all of 193. The nearest approach to the Democratic strength in the Seventy-third Congress the Republican membership in the Sixty-seventh Congress, elected in 1920 when it 300, plurality over the Demo- crats of 168 and majority all of 165.
 The Democrats have solid delegations from Ala bama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Flor ida, Georgia, Idaho Indiana Kentucky Louisiana, Maryland Mississippi, Missouri, Montana Nebraska, Nevada New Mexico North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.

THE FAILURE OF THE GARNER
 RESOLUTION.

It should be remembered that it was the lame duck House of Representatives that failed to give the Garner resolution submitting direct repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment to the people a two- thirds majority The fact that the resolution failed by only six votes-27O for the resolution and IA against-indcates a tremendous swing from dry to wet The majority for the vets 126 If six of those who voted mo" had voted "yes" the vote would have been 276 to 138-exacty two-thirds Heretofore the present House has given dry maJori ties The great swing from dry to wet was due, of course to the overwhelming wet majority in the National election. It thought that the swing would be strong enough to carry two-thrds of the House, but it failed by a close margin.
 It will be well to wait until the Senate acts on the Glass resolution pending in that body before commenting upon the situation. However unless the Glass resolution is changed it will likely prove un- satisfactory It contains reservations of power by Congress and strings that not in harmony with the Democratic platform which urged outright and simple repeal which would leave full control of the liquor problem with the separate States. The Garner Resolution that failed of a two-thirds majority was based directly upon the Democratic platform.
 While the matter may go to a special session of Congress next March, it more than likely that we shall eventually get the Garner Resolution. The delay will be unfortunate for it may prevent State Legislatures from acting during the coming winter

 If fence built around Alaska and all outside foodstuffs excluded she could feed herself" Such the remark made by an Alaskan recently. The observation offers little for thought.
 While it is not to be expected Alaska will cease sending outside for the some thirty or forty mill lions of dollars worth of supplies which she has been purchasing annually from the States it is not amiss to keep alive the thought that Alaska can supply with little effort vast portion of the foods which her people consume, and with careful atten tion to the matter annually increase the percentage of Alaskan products consumed.
 Every resident of this district knows well the excellence of Alaskan cabbages potatoes turnips, carrots and other hardy vegetables which thrive in this region The superiority of strawberries and numerous other berries growing in this region and the abundance in which they be produced is matter of general knowledge
 AS for fish, crabs clans and other sea foods Alaska takes a second place to no country. Un- excelled meats can be procured from herds of cattle thriving the islands and portions of the Alaska mainands, and the sheep of the Kodiak Matanuska and other areas are another source of meats of unrvaled superiority And this is to say nothing of the herds of reindeer contributing to the Alaska food supply
 Caterers, householders and everyone having cason to make up the daily will do well by themselves and the country in general to keep always in mind the idea of using great per centage of Alaska grown food products possible
 Meals have been provided in which practically every essential has been procured from Alaska farms pastures and waters-even to the bread made from wheat grown along the route of the Alaska Rail- road
 Every dollar of home grown products consumed means dollar kept in Alaska and every dollar kept in this country gives greater strength to the people here in their effort to build up Alaska and make it land of permanent occupation and prosperity. Alaska has lived too much off the tin contents of other countries The sooner she real izes that like many older countries she need not import indiscrimnatey but has world of good things at home which she should consistently keep her tables, the sooner will she begin to come to her own The all-Alaska dinner idea is a goal worthy of every Alaskan, and the home products Alaskans provide themselves the greater will be their prosperity and thrift.
