BY CORNELIA BRYCE PINCHOT
(Written Exclusively for and Copy

MILFORD, Pa, May 1.-THE
sweatshop manufacturer is moth
ing more or less than a racketeer,
living upon the funds raised for
relief just as effectively as if he
broke into the vault in the bank
where these funds are stored.
That Is no eXaggeratlon. Let me
show you how it works.
Many of them are paying 81,
So, sometimes So or even less, for
q weeks work-full days work,
mind you. Long hours, often
overtime, sometimes even work on
Sundays. And with every one
Speeded up to the limit. It is
obvious that on such a sum, it
Is impossible for any man, wom-
an, or child to live in decency,
much less to support dependents.
In all the interviews I have
had, I do not remember a single
case where the worker was not
contributing to the support of
perhaps three or four, sometimes
as many as II or more members
Of his or her family with only
few dollars coming in a week.
Forced to Ask Relief
What can a family do? What
does it do but apply for help to
the county relief board, in the
majority of cases. Asking for
such relief is the last thing a
family wants. Indeed, over and
over again, they put off apply
ing for help until their health
and morale has been broken down,
until all sorts of diseases asso-
ciated with malnutrition have
started to sap their resistance
and that of their children.
When the application does come,
however, the relief board is forced
to act. The family cannot be al
lowed to starve, so the help is
given, enough to make up the diff
ference between what the wage
Garner brings in and what it
costs that family to keep body
and soul together. In other words,
the Community Chest pays part
of the manufacturers wage bill;
pays because it cannot let the
family Starve.
So you see the sweatshop manu-
1acturers are not only exploiting
their own workers, but they are
robbing the community as we'll. by
dipping their greedy fingers into
the Community Chest funds and

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 27.-A hori-
zontal salary cut of about 20 per
cent for 2,591 State employees is
being considered by senate and
house committees of the General
Assembly to reduce maintenance
and operating expenses Of the

An effort will be made by the
senate finance committee and the
house ways and means committee
to have the heads of the various
State departments appear before
them to discuss the possibility OF
reduction in departmental appro
priationS and to explain the ef-
feet such cuts would have on
operation.
Discussion of a suggested exten-
sion of pay cuts as high as so
per cent in the higher brackets
was dropped by the Senate COM

that 1,47O of the 2,591 employees
receive annual salaries of 5000 or

 Game Draws $500
 New and novel schemes are sue cessfully worked to lure the GUS toners to the games, which are played at night. In Lincoln the other day, bakery firm bought the nights game for $25o enclos- ing a coupon in every loaf of bread good for admission with ten cents If you didn't buy loaf of bread it cost 25 cents to get into the game. The game attracted $500, which is some crowd for class D league. The same idea is worked with other merchants, even to newspapers, which printed cou- pon.s
 The players travel around the league in big buses, and eat at restaurants which usually adver- tise all you can pack for 25 cents.
 All four clubs in the league are in healthy condition, and so are the players.

 GOLF CHAMPIONS

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 19.-- Down Oklahoma way followers Of golf are singing the praises of two young Sooners who have been carving names for themselves in the 1883 tournaments-Wa En- cry of the University of Oklahoma and Zell Eaton of Oklahoma City.
 Emery, champion of the Big Six conference, recently won the nA- tional intercollegiate title with his powerful, smashing play.
 ' Eaton, competing in the Trans
 Mississippi tourney at Colorado Springs, set a new low qualifying mark for the event with a bril- liant 137. In match play he went to the semi-finals, lowing to Law son Little at the 38th hole when the latter sank an eagle to beat Eaton's birdie.
 Both youngsters are tall and rangy. Eaton learned his game as a caddie.

Associated Press Sports Writer) CHICAGO, July 19.-Strangest of all baseball leagues in America is the Nebraska state league, It is making money!
 While Babe Ruth is, rough ly speaking, collecting salary of $11 ,000 month, the youthful play ers of the four clubs comprising the Nebraska state league receive ex- actly $50 month apiece-no more, no less.
 The Nebraska state league is composed of Lincoln, Neb., with a population of 75,OO0; Sioux Falls, is. D., 32,OOO, Beatrice, Neb., 10000, and Norfolk, Neb., 10000
 a. Can't Use Cast-Offs
 Operating on the theory that young ball players fired with an ambition for major league fame, are willing to work for $50 month ly, like young bank clerks starting to learn the banking business for Ia small salary, the league is over loaded with ball players. Cole gians, sandlotters, farmer boys lall inspired with the dream to earn big salaries in the major leagues. Under the rules of the league, no castoff players are taken from Ot to,. laoo,,o c1,,bc Na;thar oor n player remain in the Nebraska state league longer than two years. If he. does not make good in that time, and pass on to a league of higher classification, he might as wsll make up his mind he never was cut out for ball player.

To Babe Camel, Minneapolis third baseman, goes the unhappy distinction of being the first player in organized baseball to be removed from the field of battle on account of a dog bite. At least, there is nothing in the records to indicate the Miller star ever had rival in this respect.
 It happened the other day in a game between the Millers, cham pions of the American Association last year, and St. Paul, Minneapolis was at bat in the second inning

when a little dog strayed on the field.
 For fully five minutes the play CTS of both clubs chased the mutt around the infield, but the elusive canine evaded all of them until Ganzel finally brought him down with flying tackle near the first base line. Ganzel had the right idea, 1t seems, but his technique must have been faulty, for the dog sank his teeth in two fingers of the players fork hand. After receiving first aid from the club doctor, Camel was rushed to hospital for Pasteur treatment -f'
 Cohen Cuts Up
 i I note from the account of the same game that Andy Cohen, one of the big disappointments in the life of John McGraw, still is man. aging to play a lot of baseball in Double A company. All Andy did was hit five singles in the same number of trips and pull couple of fielding plays that one witness avowed would have done credit to Eddie Collins or Larry Lajoie.
 If Andy only could have done that for McGraw when he came up from Waco some seven years ago the Giants by now probably would have had bigger plant than Yankee Stadium. But Cohen, who was to pull New Yorks vast Jewish population into the Polo Grounds found that a pair of bunged-up football legs" couldn't get him around fast enough to cover second base in the big show.

 Jack predicts the big Italian will prove a great champion and fore sees this country in a desperate search for somebody big enough to knock the crown off Primo's locks

 Come to think of it the big fe'- low has within less than year disposed of exactly half Ot the worlds crop of recognized heavy weight contenders, Ernie Schaaf and Jack Sharkey.
