BY WILLIAM E. NT'KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
T WANT to call special attention
Il to one of the new laws which be-
came effective Feb. which governs
duplicate play, and also pivot and
progressive bridge, commonly called
party bridge" This new law reads:
When the declarer fulflls his
contract and its value is less than
100 points his side shall receive a
premium of fifty points in addition
to the value of the tricks Won"
On Nov. Is, 1882, the Whist Club
announced the new code to govern
rubber play. This organization has
been making the laws for rubber
play for a number of years, while
the American Bridge League has
prepared and published the code to
govern duplicate, or tournament
play and the code governing pivot
and progressive-or party-bridge.
=
XXTHEN the American Bridge
w League held it's annual cham
pionship tournament in New York
City the last week in November, it
announced a tentative code to gov
ern Duplicate bridge, requesting
bridge players and clubs througout
the country to make suggestions
which would be included in the final
code to become effective Feb /,
1888.
Without a doubt the new less
than-game premium is the most
important change made in the new
laws.
We all know. when playing rub
Der bridge, that to obtain partial
score has considerable value.
In other words. if you have a so
on the score. you can go game on
the next hand if you can make two
of any suit, and rubber players will
strive to prevent their opponents
from obtaining a partial score just
as they will strive to stop them from
going game
Let me give you this one ex-
ample. Supposing your opponents
have bid hearts and your side, which
is vulnerable, has been bidding
spades.
The opponents bid three hearts
and you feel quite confident that
they could make such a contract,

u. S. STEEL VS.. u. S. A.

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has called the
Il Steel Corporation heads to the White
House today in an effort to persuade them to
accept the "check-of" system in the captive
coal mines they control. On the surface this
issue seems trivial. In fact, it is an important
element in the success of the NRA program.
All of the commercial coal mine owners
have agreed to the check off, This means
that they promise to collect dues for the
miners unions along with other charges
against the miners pay envelopes.
The check-of not only is necessary for the
support of the unions, but it is tacit recogni-
ton of the right of collective bargaining as
provided for in the recovery law
Both President Roosevelt and Administrator
Johnson understand that the steel men once
agreed to the check-of in their captive mines
The steel men, however, particularly the U. S.
Steel, have quibbled for weeks in what appears
to be another effort to cling to their traditional
anti-union policy.
The steel industry's attitude is unfortunate
at this crucial time. If this big industry backs
the codes in the spirit of the law it will join up
with the commercial coal mine owners and
help the disorganized coal industry to work
out its difficult problems without delay.
If it refuses it will encourage every chiseling
tage the NRA program and retard recovery.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
THE LEGION MOBILES

TINE legions program as adopted at Chi
Il cago reminds one Of Kipling's hero Tom
linson who was not good enough to go to
heaven, nor bad enough to go to hell.
1t periodically buried the Patman bonus
demand, but it urged another costly piece Of
class legislation. the waiver Of the 81 per
cent interest on s1,5OO,OOOO0O of bonus loans.
It buried a resolution demanding repeal of
last springs economy act but it sought to de-
stroy the spirit of that act by demanding hos
pitaIization and full" care for widows and
orphans regardless of whether the veterans
were incapactated or killed in war or peace.
Surely these demands do not square with
President Roosevelts splendid exhortation to
the legion to refrain from creating former
service men into special class"
1t joined with President Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in denouncing infla-
tion supporting the NRA program and other
wise backing the administration, but it linked
pacifists and radicals with criminals, called for
a bigger army and navy, and opposed Russian
recognition.
Critics will be inclined to see in this pro-
gram a patriotism slightly tainted with class
interest, nationalism slightly tainted with
Fascism.
