 joining the American Federation of Labor. Whereupon Brother Watson lost overnight his ability as Q reporter and was decorated by the A.P. with the Royal Order of the Tin Can. Subsequently the National Labor Board ordered the news agency to put him back onto it's payroll on the grounds that he had been fired not because of in- ability but because of too great acc tivity aS a labor skate. Upon receipt of the Labor Boards order the A.P. went out and hired itself Q lawyer to carry its case into the courts, expecting to get . judicial decision that the order was invalid As an invasion of its constitutions al rights. The lawyer hired to se- cure this snucli-to be-desired end was John w. Davis, former Demo- cratic candidate for the presiden- cy, now Q prominent member of the dupont's American Liberty League, an inveterate opponent of all the New Deal legislation, but, withal. 8 man learned and re- sourceful in the intricacies of the law. Having attacked on almost every conceivable grounds the le- gality of sundry laws passed by the Democratic Congress and signed by the President, Mir. Davis was just about run out of foundations upon which to build . case for the Associated Press.

I am happy to note that the editor of tho Republican recog- iaixos that iie has c Christian duty to perform, even the dihAcult one Of directing my eEraElt steps "bacIg into the straight and marrow way.n But without the slightest intention of being catty ! would suggest that he forget hiE duties as q Christian for the time being and kry to remember hIB rosp0Esi- billties as editor-reader. TT WAS THE ExAgpERATED LADY ETT= TING NEXT TO ME WHO @Uo- TED ST. JAMES. NOT I. That fact was presented in blackface type to make it Iiiimlstakable. but the editor of the Republican saw iit either to ignore the quoted rec tort Of the cxasperated lady or shut his eyes pilrpossIy whom he arrived at that senticn Of nlt story. I am quite willing to admit pro- found Ignorance Of the Scriptures as compared to the Republican editors chumny familiarity with THE BOOK, but even such an amateur scripturalist as !, knows the difference between Dt.

Bright Idea

resourceful special pleader, he dug Up a new and startling reason upon which to fight his clients cause. It was true that the Asso- ciated Pregs was an organization whose purpose was the collection of news items and the distribu- ton of them to It's franchise tiold- CTS but when submitted to the last legal analysis It was nothing more than variety of factory whose dominant object was the mnanufac- turing of news. Before tho court had time to emit more than one gasp, over the novelty of MT. Davis pleading, counsel for Broth- CT Watson rose to announce that while 1t had long been suspected by the public that the A.P. was manufacturer of news he wel- cOflled the admission on the part of its attorney that such was the case. The stories appearing in Republican newspapers about the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last week furnish justifiable grounds for believing that, whatever the merit of Mir. Davis contention as far as the As- sociatcd Press ig involved, the g.o.p. reporters, commentators, and observers kept their typewriters working overtime manufacturing news. The mass production of convention fiction passed all rec- Ords existing prior to last Tuesday.

At the session during which President Garner was re- nominated there was 6 visible ana pronounced falling off in the at- tendance which is understandable for four reasons. The delegates were worn out from the dei11oli- straticns Of the preceding night, there is Q limit to emotional ex- pregsion,. there was no contest to make delegates presence impera- tive, and everyone wAs resting UP for the closing session ct Franklin Field: About the yagn that tickets were going begging, for that event lean only tell my own experience: ! had six which had been garnered after much wire-pulling and found at the last minute ! he'd no slse for them. So turned them in et the National Committees head- quarters where they were received with as much gratitude as 4 they were checks in large amounts TOT the campaign fund. fl the Frank lin Field audience was "packed" py the Democratic National Commit tee or by Chairman Farley aS the partisan newspapers announced in advance Of the event the recipieas of my tickets ct headQuarters could not have been one of tne packers.

At the opening session when Na- tional Chairman Farley made his speech the rush seats in the gal- ieties were not filled to capacity. The reserved sections were. l tried to crash the latter and know. The floor was not completely cc- cupied because some delegations from distant points had not ar. rived as yet. After the first ses- sion the hall was damned to stik- location and the aisles were packed even at the midnight when Senator Barkiey delivered his key- note address. By that time ! had been given a badge which permit ted me to go any place and every place in the hall, including the speakers platform, 50 that I was in Q position to survey the gathering from all positions.

Municipal Ownership Was Recommended By Spe.

By ALLEN MARTIN

 United Press staff CorrespOndent)
 Boston, Jan. 28-tUP)-Elimina- ton of legal obstacles to municipal ownership of gas and electric plants as Q means of bringing into line hose companies not willing to cooperate and agree to sliding rate-scaie was advocated today by c special recess commission.
 The commission, appointed to study the advisability of 0 sliding scale system in Massachusetts, re- ported on immediate need Of this method of regulating gas and eiee. tric rates.
 After An Agreement
 Establishment of such Q system could Do effected most expeditiouBly and economically by an agreement between tho state and the industry, according to the commission, which was composed of Professor John L, Murray of Boston university, chair. man; Abraham c. Webbor, Q mem. Dor of the state public utilities com. mission, and Elliot Earl, rate engl. aeer.
 The sliding scale, advocated by Governor Curley In messages to tho legislature, means that increases in earnings above on established DOT. centago are shared by tho compan- ies and consumers. Tho consumer'l | share takes the form of reduced rates. The company's share would be distributed as additional divi. dends to stockholders and increased wages to employees.
 Some of Flndlngs
 Among findings and recommends ations by the commission were;
 l.--Most electric companies arc earning an exorbitant rate of re- turn on investment.
 2.--Nocessity of establishing . separate division on sliding scale in tho public utilities department.
 3.--Need for tho fixing by tho de- partment of Q proper and equitable rato base for each company"
 4.--.Lack Of initiative by the pub- iic utilities department in bringing proceedings for rate reductions, DOT. haps owing to inadequate funds.
