SALARY SCALE
INADEQUATE,
IS CLAIM
D. C. Heads Silent As Order
Takes Them Unaware;
Building Plans Hit

Caught unaware by the work
relief wage schedules announced
by President Roosevelt, District
officials and local labor leaders
today refused to comment direct
ly, but forecast labor 6issension
and the possibility of strikes as
a direct result Of what they re-
gard as the "sub-marginal" scale
set for Washington.
It was generally thought that
the wage scale for relief workers
here would be fixed on an hourly
basis instead of the monthly
salary allotments.
Considerably below the prevail.
ing wage, the work relief pay
brings skilled and unskilled work.
ers on closer plane in the mat
ter of hourly pay rates.
Contrast Cited
The scale for Washington will
be $45 a month for unskilled work.
ers, $50 for intermediate, $72 for
skilled workers and $40 for profess
sional and technical workers.
These rates contrast sharply
with the prevailing rate Of SIS cents
an hour for unskilled laborers and
the average hourly payment to
skilled workers of $1.25 an hour.
Instead of removing unemployed
from the direct relief rolls of the
District, it was pointed out, the
Presidents wage scale will make
it necessary for the District to
continue. relief payments to a
number of families.
A family in which there are sew
eral children requires much
higher living allotment than the
unskilled laborer'S scale of pay set
up by the work-relief program.
Allen is Silent
The majority of persons on local
relief rolls are classed as un-
skilled labor. An approximate
estimate of the type of workers
on the local relief rolls is 1900
unskilled laborers, $500 skilled
workers, $500 domestics and 1000
professional and technical workers.
Commissioner George E. Allen
declined to comment on the scale
of pay outlined in the Presidents
order
Labor leaders pointed out that
it will be impossible to draft
skilled workmen not on relief rolls
to work on the wage scale pro-
posed for the District.
If this holds true, it was stated
the local work relief program will
not permit the erection of large
building projects as there are only
$500 skilled workers on the relief
rolls.
Local Scale Low
Washington labor, under the
wage-scale, will command a lower
rate of pay than that in a ma
jority of tn ecities of this size,
and in many cases, less than labor
in smaller communities.
Comparing the District rate
with that established for Canton,
Ohio, a city of little over 100000
population, local unskilled labor
will receive $45 monthly and that
in Canton, $55; semi-skilled, $50
here and sos in the Ohio city;
skilled labor, $72 in Washington,
and $85 in Canton, and profess
sional or technical laborer $40 in
the District and $94 monthly in
Canton.

 New York, Jan 19.-(UP)-The Boston Braves have been taken away from the dogs and given back to their rightful owners. But 1t took 13 hours to make the ex- change.
 The Braves will continue playing at Braves field and the dogs will be shooed to other pnemises. &C., cording to expectations expressed in a statement yesterday after Na- tional league directors and Prcsi- dent Ford Prick had sat through one of the longest sessions the cir cult has-known.
 The National league first took an unmistakable stand against dog racing in voting unanimously to uphold the National league rule against open gambling. This &C., ton was telephoned to Commis- sioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. who is vacationing in Arizona.
 Officials then settled down to an all-day session that lasted until just before midnight and issued this statement upon emerging:
 We believe there has been evolved n plan of procedure which win eventually work out success fully.
 "The entire ";tuation we feel confident will ] arified andl defi- nitely settled at r. schedule meet ing February :. We believe that the Baseball public will be entire ly satisfied with the solution of the problem"
 The problem" has been to find out whether the Braves would con- tinue in the league after their lease on Braves field had been broken and the park turned over to dog racing syndicate. Judge Emil Fuchs added to the official state ment from the league by saying as he left the meeting that "the Braves never were actually out of Braves ficld." He has mailed con- tracts to all players.
 Because the Braves are several thousand in the red on rent and taxes. the impression prevailed that the National league has decided to furnish succor.
 Judge Fuchs, who is president of the club and Charles Francis Adams, vice president. were to confer Immediately at Boston with Interested parties" unrepresentcd at the meeting. they said. This was taken to mean that they would try to reach an agreement with the Commonwealth Realty company which represented the Gaffney estate. owners of Braves field.
 After which they departed with Judge Fuchs announcing that Babe Ruth would not manage the Braves.
 Bill McKechnie is still in there," the judge said.

New York, Ja. 19 - (CP) --' President Ford Prick said all in favor hold up your right hand and everybody did, 50 there will be no change in the National League ban on mixing" baseball and dog-rac- ing,
 This occurred yesterday as the first item of business in the special session of the league called to un- tangle the problem as to where the Braves are to play ball thIH year.
 There are vast nunoer of things l don't understand, such Us why ocean liners take so long to put out the gang blanks and why trains run 50 slowly over the last two miles into terminal, and the Boston puppy tracing situation Is no more than an addition to that list.
 If the National League bosses would only come forth with sen- sible reason for the bar against the dogs maybe even l could under stand 1t.
 But ask any one Of them and hc will say Well, it's simply matter that baseball and dog-racing don't mix" You ask for further ex- planation and he will say, Some baseball players, you know, have been kicked out of the game for gambling"
 This, at least. was the gist of the answers by two club officials who asked that their names bc omitted.
 told one of these gentlemen of an apartment in which 1 once lived there was sizeablc recrea- ton hall wherein the boys" gathered Thursday evenings and tried to i'll inside straIshts. There was Tuesday afternoon converse tionaI French class and occasion- ally lecture on art, science or something else. None of these things mix either. yet all were held in the same hall without harm. 4
 That" said my friend, Ifs q very far-fetched comparison. We don't allow gambling in baseball" /" But they do. They 'ailow" is at my friends own park. But that's begging the questionable point is that I can't see why the National League doesn't permit the Braves, or any other club, to allow dog racing at night, midget auto racing In the mornings and baseball in the afternoons.
 Can 1t be that the baseball boss es fear dog-racing would cut into their share of the city's recreat ton dollars?
 You ask any one of them and he will assure you that this is not so. but you wander If he means what he says.

Champ May Marry While Manager Splits With
 With Garden
By JAMES S. PEALLE United Press Stan Correspondent


 Miami. Fla, Jan 19-(UP)-Defi- mite announcement from Max Baer that he will wed again and a state- ment from his manager, Ancil Hoffman. that they have cut loose from Madison Square Garden probably will be made soon.
 The heavyweight champion ad- mitted yesterday that rumors of his impending marriage to Mary Kirk Brown of Atlanta and New York might be true" while she tugged at him and hastened him away from intervlewers with Come darling, or we'll be late"
 Hoffman had no announcement to make relative to the split with the Garden, but Bill Farnsworth New York sports writer and rep- resentative Of the Miami milk fund for babies, said that within 48 hours Hoffman would sign for Baer to make all his cham pionship fights IOI Lbo Iuuhs IOdCI dIBO UdH re- ceived a $100,000 offer from Chi cago.
 All Set
 FarnsWorth said he and Hoffman already had reached an agreement and that the champion would ap- pear next in Yankee stadium or at the Polo Grounds, and not in any Garden promotion, despite the fact that the Garden holds a contract with the champion.
 Baer Is not concerned at present with any pugilistic plans. He said he would go to New York after he boxes Jimmy Maloney, Thursday night, then he will return to Miami for month.
 You cant tell what this Florida moon and the palm trees will do for me then" he said.
 Interviewed earlier, Miss Brown was not cordial and made slightly different replies.
 i've just met him." she said.
 Miss Brown Understands" Baer is in Miami, "training for some thing" but she could not be sure where he was training flor a fight or a rhumba."
 Heal Money
 While Baer romances and Hoff- man dickers with the milk, fund, Chicago promises to lay aside $100,- 900 as q guarantee for Baer's tilte defense next June. The offer WAS wired by Nate Lewis and Jim Null len, who would put the show in Soldiers field and pay the cham pion 40 per cent.
 Hoffman answered that he would be in position to tell them some- thing definite in few days. Baer was more explicit.
 T don't Nike the New York set up," he said. T don't think 1 could get a good deal there. You can say for me I don't think Arr thur Donovan is a capable referee, and he seems to have the inside track. I'll never fight another fight with him as third man in the ring"
 Donovan refereed both the Baer- Schmeling and the Baer-Carnerl bouts.
 Chicago has always been swell with me-" Baer added, "and l think we could put on a great show there. I don't care who they throw in the ring with me-"

BALDWIN STREET. RIVALS SCHEDULED; IRISH HANDICAPPED Loss of Johnson May
 Cost Leaders First
 Round HOnOrs

The undefeated and now handi. capped Irish-Americans will face the strengthened Sacred Hearts in the first game of a triple-header carded in the City Amateur Bas- ketball loop at the Central ' to- morrow afternoon. Tn the other scheduled games the Washington Hills will meet sectional rivals in the Tribune A. c. while the Brook lyn A. c. cagers are listed to enter tain the Carringtons. All three loom as good attractions. The con- tests will begin at 1:30, 2:45 and 4 p. r1., all in the order named.
 The fate of the 1eague-leading Irish hangs in the balance with the loss of "Jingles" Johnson, who will be out for the season due to an injury sustained in last weeks contest against the Tribunes. The Naugatuck product, always an im- portant factor in past victories registered by the social club, was considered invaluable in the line- up, especially against clubs of the Hearts caliber, when as . rule, there was a difference of 6 or points in the result of the game. It is known that Stan Poscavage will be with the East Enders and his height will be a great asset Eddie Bagley has also signed new material in Al Taub, former New Yorw city player who began with the Monroe high school team and with several leading clubs in both the Bronx and Brooklyn, N. Y. The only fairly new feature about the Irish club will be the appearance of Bob Gafr, sensational forward.
 Baldwin Street Battle
 The supremacy of the Baldwin street sector which includes the Abrigador, will be decided with the result of the Hill-Tribes tilt. Pilots George Pick" Casey and Francis Bowling report that everything is set and that there can be no ques- ton as to who will win. Age will counter. The Scovilps Bridge play CTS will include none other than Billy Sheehy, veteran courtman, in q comeback attempt. The Hills plan to use Mandy Green of Thom- aston.
 B. A. 0. vs Brothers
 Determined to put his club in a position where they will suffer no more defeats this season, manager Myles Kelly of the Brooklyns has made several position changes and believes that the speedy youngsters will show different brand of bas- ketball than they have been play ing In the past two weeks. The family outfit has added Jack Grady. Alex MazZarrella and Eddie Stevens in preparation for the con test and Manager Louie has de- signs on Ned Farley. One thing 's certain and that is that there will not be many points difference in the score.
