 In the third, the Legion came t. life and drove across two runs, with Fry Hagerup's single and Bob Boyds long double to center figur- ing in the scoring.
 But in the next inning, that Moose hitting punch bobbed up again, and the game went on ice with a pair Of runs being scored Jack Schmitz opened the rally with double which bounced against the store screen in center. Haines was hit by a pitched ball. Shortly afterwards, Bill Bryan scratched a hit to second, scoring Schmitz, and Brother Fred Schmitz poled Tex as-leaguer into left to bring Haines around.

Showing pUAcn ac the plate and coming up with some sparkling defensive plays the Moose deveated the saucy Leg ,n club at Baseball Park last nig1-t to turn the sec ond-half competition of the City League into real ding-dong battle. The Moose, who now come up to within OCT percentage points of the first-place Legionnaires, won, 8 to 3.
 Consider that Moose punch at the plate. In the second inning, big Walt Andrews whacked long drive into deep left for triple. Then, Eddie Roller, Legion shortstop, had two bad moments, kicking Dave Turner's bouncer and throwing wild to first when Jack Schmitz hit an- other his way. Andrews scored on the last play.

and the Moose, is due at 6:30 O. clock tonight at Baseball Park, The other, between the Elks and the Moose, is slated for tomorrow night.
 Tcnight's tilt is a highly critical one, with the leadership of the loop for the second half at stake. A Moose victory, similar to the one they earned over the same rivals last night, would result in first place tie between the Black Sox and the Legion.
 TomorrcRs fracas. the third in a row for the Moose, will base it's importance upon the result of to- nights game.
 Even though the Black Sox are forced to play three times in as many days, the re-scheduling must go ahead When this week started the leagus was exactly a half dozen games behind due to rainy weather However, if both games tonight and tomorrow can be played, only three postpaned clashes will remain.

SPECIAL SESSION?

Despite the fears of many during the early days
OF our state Legislature the so-called 'eft-wing"
bloc has not put over it's numerous bills to change

legislation essential to the operation of the gov

PREVAILING WAGE FIGHT

No question during the present session Of Con-
gress has provoked such nationwide interest
the "prevailing wage scale" of the Presidents
work relief bill. Even the Townsend plan, the So
cial security program and other policies have ia
ken back seat while the President, the Congress
and the people have debated the question of
whether relief workers should get less than pri-
vately employed workers, or the prevailing wage
rate of the vicinity in which they live.
President Roosevelt included in his $4,8OOOOO,-
600 work relief bill provision that relief workers
should be paid at less than the prevailing wage
rate in their vicinity Congress, eager to show it's
independence, amended this provision to read that
relief workers should receive the same pay as men
employed by private industry.
From the day they took this action until the
present time no civic club meeting, no street
corner gathering other pow-wow has been COM
plete without discussion of this policy.
Those who believe in paying relief workers the
prevailing wage scale present the following argu-
ments: That the prevailing wage rate is much too
low at present and that to set any lower wage
would be affording only small measure of relief;
that it relief wages are set below prevailing wage
rates there is danger that industry will lower it's
wages to that level; and that if relief workers re-
ce1ve the same wages as those employed in private
industry recovery will be quicker and more certain
On the other hand, those who believe as the
President does, point out that relief should be
Olly temporary ana UndC U1tTe must be an lnCGn-
tive for to transfer from relief rolls to indus
trial employment at the soonest possible oppo1-
tunity. 1t is also their contention that it would
be unfair to those men who have jobs and are will
ing to work to have relief wages paid on the same
scale as their wages
So afraid Congress that in opposing the
Presidents desires they would lose favor with
the people and so anxious were they to pass the
responsibility, to be able to say afterwards "Pub-
ic opinion forced to do it, that they made an
appeal to the peope to voice their sentiments The
answer to their plea not long in coming and
while both sides of the question were we'll repre-
sented, the people were decidedly in accord
with President Roosevelt that many Of the weaker
congressman lost their spirit of rebellion.
The latest news dispatches indicate that the
committee has recommended the prevailing wage
scale amendment be stricken from the bill and
that it be passed as first introduced. This action
seems to terminate the long battle, and we are
sure that our congressman will see the wisdom of
following this recommendation
They will now be able to turn their attention
to such programs as the social security act and it
is our hope that when this measure comes up Con
gress will be able to pass reasonable workable
program to alleviate the sufferings of the unen1-
ployed and those who have passed their years of
productivity

"Our football plans are in
definite. Well have to feel our

much better game against Sun

A victory over Sun Radio to-

game between Sun Radio and

much better condition than last
week and with Sun Radio also
in training, a splendid contest is
certain.
The Italians are favorites over
