Darr Has Three Rivals.

DoAh AAoS III &C AsboAos
~ ARR virtually outclassed the field
in the Virginia qualifying round
In which he shot so per cent
ringers. But he will have at least three
rivals capable Of lowering his colors
draw with him is Ed Henry, who Is
making his fifth try for the Virginia
title, and, barring sensational upset,
these two should clash in the semi
finals
The lower draw appears to be
. t0Ss-up between the Of war
horse Of Falls Church, George C.
Thompson, and w. G. Cockerille,
who finished second in the quail
flying round with 40 per cent
ringers. So far Cockerille Is the
surprise of the Virginia -tourna-
ment. He was a mediocre per-
former last year, but now Is
serious title threat.
Although Thompson has competed
IN every Evening Star tournament, to-
nights affair will be as trying to him
as debut. Since last year Thompson
has changed his style of pitching and
tonight will try his reorganized game
under fire for the first time. He hasn't
pitched enough the new way to acquire
complete confidence.
Keep Your Tempers, Gentlemen!
1.-TWO Of tonight's most interested
spectators will be Clayton c.
Henson, champion of the Metro
politan washington area and Harry
Fraser Saunders whom he dethroned.
In workouts lately these arch rivals
have thrown more than 70 per cent
ringers. Although Saunders has yet
to qualify-he will pitch in the Wash
ington section Of the tournament-he
stands a joint favorite with Henson to
win the Metropolitan title.
NeUer in the history of the
tournament has there been q rip

ing that no t,Do pitchers hereto

A, AND P. EXECUTIVE NOT
FAVORABLE To CODE CHANGE

The Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea company is against radical tam
pering with the wage and hour pro-
visions of the temporary food code
in operation since August /.
The proposal now under consider
alton would reduce the wages of
men in responsible positions to lev
ell inconsistent with their standing
and usefulness. Our experience con-
vinces us that a man capable Of
managing grocery store is worth
a minimum of $35 a week, and un-
der normal employment conditions
could not be hired for less. A salary
of less than S35 is not adequate COM
pensation for the responsibilities of
the job-a job that involves not only
experience, energy and Judgment,
but also long hours, averaging about
70 per week.
On the other hand in certain Sec
tionS Of the country, notably in the
south, the cost of living and the
standard of living are below the
average OF the country. Obviously,
fair play would permit correspond
ing wage notifications in these Sec
tionS.
The company maintains that the
economic justification of the chain
system of merchandising lies in it's
ability to reduce the margin be-
tween what the producer receives
and what the consumer pays. 1t
contends that the well-managed
chain is able to do this by the SUI
perior efficiency of the methods it
is able to employ in mass distribu-
ton, without paying any employee
less than he would receive under
any other system.
This company also opposes reduc-
tions now proposed in the minimum
wages and the exclusion of numer-
Gus employees from even these low
wages, because it believes the min
imum wages listed in the temporary
food code are the lowest that can be
justified as furnishing livelihood to
the employee. ANY Employee cap

New York Stocks
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
United Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. .. U.D -
Strength in repeal issues brought
a firmer tone into the stock mar
ket today, but trading continued
at the dull rate prevailing for the
last week
The market resisted all factors
which ordinarily generate enthus-
iasm. The dollar weakened. ster-
ling advanced by more than 4
cents: bar silver was at the peak
for several years: gold prices ad
vanced: the government gold buy
ing machinery was wheeled out for
usage; grains finished higher: over
night buying orders came in on
agreeable acceptance TO the revi-
sion plan for the NRA. But trad
ers continued To cling to the side
lines to await some Qualification of
all the complexities now confront
ing business and the monetary
system.
Advances were unspectacular and
followed another easing. But at
the close gains ranged from frac-
tions TO around 3 points.
Repeal stocks were outstanding
throughout the day. National Dis
tillers again was the leader and
climbed to a high at above "a.
This strength generated firmneSs
in the entire market. United States
Steel advanced to 80, to show more
than a point gain after an earlier
loss. American telephone ranged
between 1092l and 112.
Utilities, however. again sagged.
Consolidated Gas dropped to an
other new 1888 low at 37la but
picked up slightly from that figure.
Stock sales today totaled 1,l20,000
shares as against 1.140.000 yester-
day. Curb sales were $4,000 shares
against $4,000 shares yesterday.
Dow Jones preliminary averages
showed industrial 90.54 up 0.92,

gressive movements that have
marked valley activities of late, the

viously the company had restrict

This pioneer valley organization
was established in 1911 and took
the name of the Ell Centro Trans
fer company. 1t has been under
the ownership and management of
P. C. Thacker and D. D. Stafford
since 1918 when these two men
bought the equipment and COM
pletely reorganized the company.
At present the company operates
Is large trucks and vans and has a
large warehouse on East State

any transportation problem wheth-
er individual or wholesale ship

owners.
Stafford and Thacker have al
ways taken a leading part in El

found working continually for the
betterment of the city and the
speedy return of economic stability.

By HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 2-Efforts to
discuss sports in New York today
went for naught because everybody
seemed involved-either as citizens
or strong arm men-in the mayor
atty election which takes place next
Tuesday.
This correspondent has been in
New York for a number of years
but has yet TO exercise his fran
chise. One year it was GaribaldiS
birthday and We had to place a
wreath. The next year it was Carl
baldis birthday all over again, and
the felix's next door had a party. The
next year I though I'd slip out On
the Garibaldi birthday, but a fell
low arrived with some brushes and
1 had to spend the day inside, re-
fusing answer the doorbell.
But this year I've been intending
to get that cid franchise out and
90 out and exercise her. Yet hesi-
tate. In most cities you can go up
and cast off a ballot, get your ci-
gar and go back TO work. But IN
New York, some districts have less
pleasant regulations.
In some places they have social
group, so the allegations, run, which
group so the allegations run, which
hers are dedicated to service. 1t is
their job on election day 10 stand
outside the polling places with very
tough looks on their faces and very
hard implements in their hands, or
in their coat pockets. The citizen
who brings his franchise around Is
supposed to vote the way their en-
ployers desire the early and late re-
turns to be.
The process of voting, according to
my advisers, is to approach the poll
ing place, smile broadly at the hood
lums. give them each cigar and a
IS gold piece, ask about their chill
dren, and whisper: who's the best
man today, Mac?"
Then, my advisers say, the most
pleasant course is to go in and vote

/ down to eraser duster in the board
of education.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. ?. UP) - A
campaign TO stamp out "phony "
championship divisions and titles
publicized as a bait TO wrestling and
boxing fans was the announced
aim OF DR. Harry Martin, chairman
Of the state athletic commission.
So-called junior" titles drew
the fire OF the official who char
acterized them as ian artificial
means Of bolstering receipts. He
declared that matches scheduled as
title battles outside of the eight
regular divisions would no longer
be sanctioned.
- The commission still feels that
the policy OF creating state title
divisions is a good one. inasmuch
as there are state titles in other
sports. and that such titles are
means of encouraging the develop
ment Of young boxers and Of pro-
viding additional interest to the
FANS Martin said. But these

STATE WATER
PLAN RAPED

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2. U.P) -
Governor Rolph and other propon-
ents of the $17OOOO,OOO central val
ley water project are working flu
ture hardship on California agri-
culture by supporting venture
that would incease over-produc-
ton, according to Fred G. Athearn
of San Francisco, former corpora
ton commissioner.
MANY of our field crops, such
as grain and cotton, have suffered
for several years from over-pro-
duction,' Athearn said. ''Presi-
dent Roosevelt recognizes this and
has induced farmers throughout
the country to plow under thous-
andS of acres of cotton and grain
"When the consumers in Califor-
mia are asked TO support a measure
on the grounds that it will increase
agricultural production, they
should reflect that even now they
are paying a processing tax for the
purpose of producing a fund out
of which farmers are to be COM
pensated for curtailing, rather
than increasing, the production OF
our FARMS
In opposing the irrigation prof.
ect, Athearn pointed out that in
1882 approximately 250,OO0 tons oi
California deciduous fruits rotted
as an unharvested surplus. Six
thousand carloads of melons were
left en- the vines, he said. He re-
ported the surplus grape produc-
ton for the five year period, 1928
1882, averaged 10000 tons and that
included in the 1881 unharvesteo
crops were $4,000 tons of cabbage
$4,000 crates of carrots, and $4,000
bushels of onions.

minimums. If the employee is worth
less than these minimums to the
business, it is because he is impro-
perly placed in his employment or
because the business is not well
managed Either of these reasons Is
the fault of the management and
not of the employee. Furthermore,
this company will not be a party
to subjecting a large group to ex-
istence without means to maintain a
decent standard of living.
Under the temporary food code in
operation since August l, this COM
pany has increased its annual pay
roll over 10 million dollars. Under
