TODAY, TOMORROW
Marberry to Make Spring
BoW-KuheI Hurt, Judge
Goes to First.

~ HOX1, Miss, March 26.-
K With Manager Johnson's
IL regulars all set for their
pair Of contests against the
Baltimore Orioles today and to-
morrow and his irregulars just as
set to battle the Biloxi Bakers,
Gulf Coast champions, tomorrow,
things can be said to be pretty
noisy around this base today.
Three games in two days might sound
quite out of place at this time OF the
season, but not with the .Griffs, who
have been able to muster two teams in
the recent past and who have. in the
Irregular teams instance. got a great
deal Of enjoyment out Of 1t all.
But 10 get down to actual facts, it's
going to be a pretty interesting two
days, this afternoon and tomorrow.
The chief reasons are because OF the
appearance of Lefty Lloyd Brown and
Big Fred Marberry on the mound for
the Griff Regulars.
Brown was to get the starting mound
assignment here today against the Bal
timore Orioles Marberry Is scheduled
to take the pitchers box tomorrow at
Gulfport.
OF course, neither hurler will work
very long, as it will mark the initial
appearance of each this Spring. But
for both it will be test, because they
must show Griffith and johnson that
they have not lost too much ground IN
their training since being out of keller.
In the Biloxi Baker encounted the
youngsters, Bud Thomas and Johnny
Boyle, are TO huri, according to john
son.
Bobby Burke and Carl Fischer also
were 10 pitch today, while Frank Rag
land and Bob Friedrich will share the
toll with Marberry on the mound to-
morrow.
CAMP GRIFF was quite quiet place
~ yesterday, as no game was sched-
uled and the players had the aft
ernoon to themselves. Oh, yes, the
usual workout was taken in the morn
ing, but this did not last long at all,
compared to the several hours Of the
afternoon to while away.
Tony Ragusin, secretary OF the local
Chamber Of Commerce, came to the
rescue by getting up boat trip, which

but who has done nothing but play

third base, whichever position Harris
does not play. A pitcher will be in
the outf1eld as usual while Eddie Ain

catch part of the game.

48 Leaders Make Personal
Calls on Lawmakers to
Protest SIasheS.
FEAR POSSIBLE EXAMPLE
TO PRIVATE EMPLOYERS
Advance Guard Of Workers, Under
McGrady's Direction, Meets
in Connery's Office.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Forty-eight leaders Of American work
ers from every State in the Union,
under the direction Of Edward r. Nc
Grady, legislative committeeman for the
American Federation of Labor, are today
making a personal canvass of every
member Of Congress, protesting against
passage of any bill TO slash the salaries
Of Federal employees.
The group started making q door-to-
door canvass in the House Office Build
ing and Capitol today after conference
with Representative La Guardia, Re-
publican, of New York, who Is leading
the fight on the floor to defeat whatever
salary reduction bill may be brought
out by the Special Economy Committee.
The conference was held In the Office Of
William Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, last night.
Other Leaders Active.
Other leaders of organized labor have
put themselves behind this fight, which
Mr.. McGrady explained was not only
on behalf of Government employees
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor, but for the wage earners of
the country, who are threatened with
pay cuts if the Government sets the
example to private interests.
This advance guard of the American
workingmen made headquarters today
in the office of Representative William
p Connery of Massachusetts,, chairman
of the House Committee on Labor, who
has been outspoken and vigorous in
denunciation of any attempt to cut
salaries on the Government pay roll or
elsewhere.
Mr.. McGrady, speaking for this group
of workers today, said they are pre-
pared to show members of Congress
from any State in the Union that any
petitions they receive, signed by Ameri-
can workers. urging reductions in the
Government pay roll are on petitions
circulated by employers and were signed
under coercion.
Blames Organized Business.
Mr.. McGrady emphatically stated that
the proposal to reduce Government sal
aries, and the labors of the Special
Economy Committee which has been
wrestling for nearly a week trying to
find some scheme Of cutting which will
produce an appreciate saving without
ruthleSsly levying a heavy toll against
those receiving $4,000 or less, was
planned and a campaign for support
made by organized business.
At the same time that these labor
leaders were making a personal protest
to each member of Congress, Chairman
McDufie. of the committee of three to
whom were delegated the tasks of draft
ing the salary slashing bill, granted q
hearing 10 William r. Valance, presi-
dent of the Federal Bar Association
representing attorneys in all depart
ments and bureaus of the Government
service. Representative McDufie had
previously declined to grant a hearing
to Mr. Valance

proposed salarly cut would be a triple
