Fur Flies AS Reactionary
Conciliator Gets Out

BOSTON-(FP)-Much fur is fly
ing in political circles on the issue as
to whether Charles G. Wood, Boston
reactionary Department of Labor con-
c~iliator, was fired by Sec. of Labor
Perkins Or resigned.
"Miss Perkins showed no leader
ship, SC | quit" says Wood.
"If Miss Perkins didn't fire him,
then she showed no leadership" re-
tort trade union leaders. Wood has
been one of the most reactionary of
labor department negotiators and
many thousands of workers are get
ting low pay because of his work.
There has been a constant campaign
demanding his discharge since Miss
Perkins took office.

No doubt this man, together with
all other BARRIERS of Silver Bow County
signed the blanket code and the Presi-
dents agreement, binding themselves
to charge the minimum prices speci-

others, broke his pledge and turned

that cheap prices are always the fore

not mean to suggest that every cut

who are victims of circumstances by
being unfortunately surrounded by
~pricecutters, but who have striven
desperately to maintain a wholesome
atmosphere, and to promote thrift
through harmony and right thinking.
Such men have always been regarded
as better than their places and po-

Where Poverty Thrives.
To those who know the true facts of
the case, this outstanding truth is in
controvertible; where there is the lar

is the highest percentage of poverty

are akin to one another. Misery
drives men to desperation, which is
just another name for hysteria. I'm

In to the B0xmen,

TT IS pitching that will make or
break the Nationals this year,
for there is little doubt Of their
adequacy in every other respect.
and it begins to appear the whole
question revolves about the sturdy
figure Of Al Crowder, for the other
first stringers seem to be coming to
hand nicely.
The dour-visaged and supersti-
tious Moth Calinian. who has
been the workhorse Of the Nation
ais ever since he was hauled back
from st. Louis, plainly showed the
effects of too much campaigning
toward the close of last season and
in the late lamented w. S. with
the Giants.
Now he appears in fine fettle
save for the fact his fast ball not
only isn't hopping, but isn't fast.
and in such a predicament the
General is just another pitcher.
There is every reason for believ-
ing Crowder will regain his speed,
but until that is a demonstrated
fact Messrs. Grifith and Cronin
will be, from left to right, an ap-
prehensive club owner and an anx-
ious field leader.
