LEKANc BALKS AT OFFER FOR
 INDOOR SKI eO
United States Champion May Be Seen in Great
 New Haven Carnival

New Haven, Jan. 22. Believe t or not Anton Lekang. io36 United States professional ski champion, ls h. ,itant about signing . contract to ji.mp on the nye-story ski slide the New Haven arena will construck for its first annual winter carnival Feb. ruary 4-6.
 Lekang had Q rather sorry experi- ence when he tried similar jump in the Boston Garden recently. He woke Up in a hospital when he took a header en route. Now serving as the pro at the Yale Co-op's indoor slide, Lekang was the first Of q brilliant list the arena s0ufiht for It's carnival. After the preliminary announcement of his name. negC- tiations hit . snag but word is thus far lacking from either Lekang or the Arena whether the spill in Bos- ton has anything to do with his hesitancy.
 Uncertain ss
 The Arena merely announced that Lekang probably" will compete. A Norwegian, native of the town of Melbo, he first won the Canadian amateur ski title in 1881. 4 year later he won the U. 8. amateur title. Tn 1892 he added the New York state. Connecticut and New Eng- land titles. Last year he turned pro and annexed the U. s. professional title.
 Additional Connecticut flavor may be seen in the ski events. A Wingted girl. Antoinette Gerard, who at l5 Is regarded as one of the most promising women Skiers of the coun- try, is being sought for a special exhibition on the jump which will start at the room of the Arena and finish on the ice surface used for hockey. More than 10 tons of maiil- factured snow. made from caes of ice pulverized by special machine, will provide natural ski conditions.
 Young Star
 A third Connecticut competitor who is being sought is Bill Pulaski, formerly of Greenfield, now of Bridgeport where he teaches the fine points of Christianias. Teile- marks and other ski intricacies at department Btore's borax slide. Pu- laski is the youngest American born professional skier. He is secretary of the Professional Ski club and has been . runner-up in all recent tour- naments.
 Other competitors expected in. clude: Stand Milskelson of Green field, national amateur jumping champion in 1929 and pro champion in i934: Clarence Olson, Berlin, N. IT., New England pro champion last year and one of the country'S best ali-round Skiers, rounds out tho field.
 Keen interest has already beon manifested in the carnival with rli- merous reservations already filed for tho two evening performances.

SIMMONS WORK DURING SEASON SURE TO HELP
Yanks, Indians Will Also Worry Boston Pair of
 Top Pitchers Needed
BY FRANK MURPHY

Limited RreHg Stan COFrespOHdent)
 Boston, Jan. 22-- AiphOnSe CAD echacht, whistling third-base coach Of the B0ston Red gox and ono of bageball's funny men, inter- rupted . vaudeville and speaking tour here long enough to sign his 1050 contract at Q flaming bee with Eddie Collins and point out why he considers the Yawkeys 70 per cent better than 6 year ago.
 With such new sluggcrg ag Jimmy FOxx, Roger Crnmer, Heirlic Man. .lish and Eric McNair in the Red Box lineup, Echacht said he expect cd to send more runners gcurTying for home plate next season than ever before.
 Two Mere Twirlers
 All the Red Gox need to win the American League pennant is schacht's opinion is two winning pitchers to match the work of Yves Terrell and Lefty Grove. "Very gels dom does Q team win Q pennant un- less it has ct least four good start ing pitchers" Al sail. He thought the two ought to be forthcoming from q group composed of Lefty Os- terniueller, Johnny MarcuTn,. John. ny Welch, Jack Wilson and the rookie, Stewart Bowers.
 gchacht, whose vaudeville appear arces have taken him ail over the country, brought good news from many quarters. He said Manager Joe Cr0nin was in perfect condition at his San Francisco home and that his trdowing wrist, broken at the close of the 1034 season, was as strong as ever.
 Hchacht transformed with q group of players in Mexico after the 1895 season and reported that Hein- ie ManuBh, who was one of the group, was eager to come to the Red Hox. He predicted that Manush would bat 1885 or better in Boston. From the Pacific coast Hchacht brought the news that Manuel Sal- vo, a big right-handed pitcher drafted fromthe Sacramento club. was regarded highly by Dutch Ruc- ther, former big league southpaw.
 Four CIub bnttle
 Like most observers, Schacht re- garAg the 1896 American League race as. Q four-ciub battle among tho Detroit Tigers, the Red Box, New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians.
 'The Tigers are going to be tough to beat" Schacht said with more franknegs than other members Of the Red Gox family, especially if Al Simmons comes through"
 9chacht expects Steve O'Neill's Cleveland club to make lots of trou- bie for pennant-secker and pre- diets . great year for Thornton (Thorney) Lee. big Indian south- paw.
 Echacht doesn't underestimate the strength of the Yankees, either He felt that if Joe Maggie. rookie outfieIder, lived up to promise the 1o30 New Workers will be "a great ball club"

 Miami, Fia., Jan. 22-@( (Up) That flowing cloak of dafnness which enc folds . baseball player as soon as he gwOGrg allegiance to the Brook IyIi Dodgers, already has fallen about the shoulders of Freddie LdtgdBtrOi1i.
 LindgtTorn has yet to sign Q formal contract with the Bro0klyns, but from that day two weeks ago when he wired Manager Casey Htengel an acceptance of terms offered him for the 1e30 season, he has been acting in . manner which would indicate that nid-July will find him stealing second when itg already occupied, as jatintily as any of the seasoned dafiincss boys.
 ' Good Luck?
 We went to the races ct Hlaleah with Freddie yesterday, and the sev- enth saw him come through with Q double play of befuddlement which, if translated to the diamond of Ebbets field along about May, will make him as dear to the hearts of the inmates of that asylum az was Babe Herman. Two minutes before the seventh race Freddie bought Q $2 ticket on Lawmaker, an inspired ibex which came roaring out of the dust from nowhere at the top of the stretch to run the favorites in the ground and pay $70:60.
 As Lawmaker thundered into the lead Freddie jumped on q chair and screamed him home
 Come on baby! Lawdy, lawdy, lawdyl Run for me you dog you, run for mep

And when it iooketd as if te might be beaten in the Aral ten yards Freddie, coaching from third base now, reared:
 "Glide for t Lawmaker, slide foE itt" "
 Lawniaker made 1t without slId- ing. and Freddie. as he stood walt ing for the pay-oR numbers 10 flash on the board, put on . scene which combined the best features of q new father, . Comanchc Q nthe war path, and . guy getting money from home.
 When the figures went up an- nouncing that LawInaker had paid . little better than SS to l, Freddie yelled:
 "Lemme get to that cashiers win dow"
 He yanked q ticket out of his pocket and took one look at 1t for sure.
 That look cost him exactly e70.0O, for 1t wasn't the right ticket. It was Q losing souvenuir of the sixth race. The curse of the Brooklyns had reached him. way down here in Flor ida And three months before the baseball season opens. 1r,esorie way he had torn up and thrown away the winning ticket on the seventh race iifc-SaVer, and saved the worth less calling card on the sixth race.
 Tn Form
 Heartbroken, Lindstrom explained that the tearing up of the ticket was but another link in the daffy daisy chain he had been forcing since he pledged himself to be true to the dizzy dizzy Dodgers. Two days ago he went shopping wearing white shoe and Q black one. Last week he ruined a wrist watch by forget ting to remove t before Jumping un- der a shower. What next, he wants to know?
 Lindstrom didn't have much heart for baseball talk after the disastrous seventh race, but he did manage to say that, given no worse than an even break in injuries, the Cubs would repeat in the National. with the Cards and Giants following in the order named: that Gabby Hart nett of the Cubs was his choice as the finest catcher who ever begged one to second; and that Dizzy Dean, on the best day he ever saw, wasn't the pitcher Dazzy Vance was in the early i020's or that Carl Hubbell was in l033 when the Giants won the pennant. Also that Freddie Lindstrom, right now. is in the best health he has ever enjoyed, would have one of his finest years on the banks of the soft-fiowing Gawonus canal.

POST OFFICE
DEPARTMENT
Offers $4,000 for a Bomb
Mailer

Washington, D. C. 60. N. S)-The
posting of a schedule of rewards for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of those dangerous and
destestable criminals who SO often
jeopardize the lives of innocent post
office clerks and other postal en-
ployes by mailing dangerous explos-
ives indicates a determination of the
post office department to protect its
clerks. There has been no reward
offered in the past. The employees
themselves had posted reward of
$4,000 offered by the National Fed
edation of Post Office Clerks, but
until this announcement the post
office department gave none.
The sum of $4,000 will be given for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of bomb mailers or to those
responsible in the event they are killed
while attempting to escape or resist
arrest. Application should be made
to the post office department before
ninety days after the arrest or death
of the culprit, and the reward will
be paid when and if congress makes
available the necessary appropria-
ton"
Provisions are made for number
| of lesser arrests in a scale of rewards
ranging from $500 to $4,000. The re-
wards may be divided as the merits of
the cases indicate. Indications are
that the promptest payments will be
made following the killing of these
dangerous killers in the act of com
mitting the crime.

Figures Tell Story

The iron and steel industry en-
ploys, and can employ only adult
males. The work involves heavy mus
cular strain, is carried on for the
most part under very high tempera-
lures, is extremely exhausting and
extremely hazardous.
IF wages in this type of work are
to be compared with those in other
Industries, such comparison, in simple
fairness, should be with industries of
comparable character. If this is done,
the showing of the steel industry is
not at all favorable. Running over
the industries listed in the department
of labor's report for March, 1886,
it appears that a number of indus
tries employing chiefly males have a
much better scale of earnings than
the steel industry, as is shown in the
following table:
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1936-09-04
STEEL MAKES
POOR SHOWING
On Wages, Lewis Declares

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Instead
of being in good position as regards
wages, the steel industry makes a
poor showing with comparable indus
tries, John L. Lewis, chairman
of the committee for industrial
organization, charges in a state
ment replying to wage claims of the
American Steel and Iron Institute,
issued July 21 on behalf of the in
dustry.
Lewis contended the present organ
izing campaign in the steel plants has
already been of help to workers pay,
asserting that the industry seeks to
counteract the effects of the campaign
by temporary improvements in wages
and working conditions, and by stim-
ulating production
The statement of the American Iron
and Steel Institute, Lewis said, lis an
extraordinary example of the misuse
of statistics, the misuse consisting
in drawing false deductions from fig
ures which are accurate in themselves.
Steel Wages Low
Thus, the institute states that in
March, 1886, steel workers, according
to government reports, earned 66.2
cents per hour and S26.38 per week as
compared with averages for all man
ufacturing industries of only 57.2
cents per hour and $22.25 per week.
These figures, to repeat, are copied
quite accurately from the published
reports of the United States Depart
ment of Labor. But they do not mean,
as the institute would have the pub
lie believe, that the steel industry is
in peculiarly favorable position as
regards its wage scale. The truth,
indeed, is quite the opposite.
''In the first place, the so-called
average for all manufacturing indus
tries referred to by the institute is
an average of 80 separate manufac-
turing industries many of which, such
as canning, confectionery and cigar
cite making, involve relatively light
work and employ in large part the
labor of women, young persons and
children. Surely there is little ground
for the steel industry to take pride
in the fact that its wage scale is
higher than exists in the canning in
dustry, where labor has been motor
iously underpaid, or in the cotton seed
oil industry of the South, where Negro
labor has been frightfully exploited.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1936-09-04


1T will be noted that all the indus
tries in this list other than steel had
higher and in many cases very much
higher hourly earnings than the steel
industry. Also in all but two cases,
the weekly earnings were also higher,
in many cases much higher than in
steel. The exceptions were anthra
cite mining and building construction,
in both of which industries the hours
worked per week were only about
quarters as many as in the steel
industry. Moreover, March was a
short month in anthracite mining. In
February the weekly earnings in an
thracite were far higher than in
steel S36.44 as against S24.60."
