ton more fitted to his temperament"
The Governor gave, as his reasons
for naming Munshower, the latters
record in military affairs and in pub
lie office. and a belief that the new
appointee will shun politics.
The charge that Maj. Carey was
"temperamentally untitled to COM
mand the State police force was made
last year by a board of inquiry investi-
eating the majors command of a re-
lief expedition across the frozen
Chesapeake Bay. A State police SER
geant lost his life on the trip. At that
time the Governor rejected recon-
mendation that Carey be relieved Of
his command.
Not Politically Minded.
"The people are entitled to
some expression from me concerning
the future policy of the State police,
Gov. Nice said. And answer them
by saying that in the appointment OF
Col. Munshower I am placing at the
head of this department a man not
politically minded, but inspired by an
ambition to perform a public service
in a manner conducive TO the public
welfare.
His appointment is entirely free Of
any political consideration Col.
Munshower will utilize his force to the
end that the frightful and horrible
loss Of life and injury to persons ION
the highways shall be - reduced to
a minimum. - ."
Maj. Carey was appointed superin-
tendent of the force October /, 1885,
succeeding j. Purdon Wright.
Immediate action on the appoint
ment was promised in the Senate by
Senator Milton L. Veasey. chairman of
the Committee on Executive Appoint
ments.
I'm view OF the state OF demorali-
zation in the department of State po-
lice" Senator Veasey said. Il regard
this appointment as warranting action
without delay. The committee will be

Joint Strike Committee Is
Expected to Meet at
Noon for Call.
BACKGROUND

Pacific Coast LonpshOremen
1palked out last October in failure
to gain demands in renei0al OF con-
tract concluded in 1884. Spread OF
strike to East Coast and Cult ports
and sympathetic Ddlkouts by sea-
men. radio operators and deck Of
fcers extended the strike to Dir
tuallp all the American merchant
marine, practically haltino carriage
of foreion trade in American bot
toms.
The conflict. now 98 days old,
centered about the use of hiring
halls and wages and has claimed
the attention of President Roose-
pelt and Secretary OF Labor Perkins.
BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. February A.
Nearly 10000 Pacific Coast maritime
strikers, considering their record
breaking walkout at an end, awaited
a back-to-work summons today. and
the Joint Strike Committee expected
to meet at noon, presumably to issue
the call.
With the exception Of voting by
longshoremen in the Northwest. where
severe weather delayed distribution Of
ballots, the seven unions had COM
pleted balloting on peace proposals.
and the results were piling up here.
Reports last night indicated marine
firemen might not ratify their tenta-
tive agreement with offshore operators.
but such action will not prolong the
strike, for the firemen agreed to arbi-
trate issues in dispute.
Eighty-two Tied Up in San Pedro.
Some examples OF the overwhelming
back-to- work trend of the voting came
from San Pedro. where 80 ships, the
largest number in any coast port. are
tied up. Longshoremen ratified their
agreement by a vote Of 2.l36 to 134.
radio telegraphists voted 81 to and
licensed deck officers 176 to 8.
One discordant note was heard from
faraway Honolulu, where striking
longshoremen, whose union has not
been recognized, announced determi-
nation to block movement Of ships un-
less their demands we're met.
Shipowners, claiming the union does
not represent a majority of the Hawaii
dock workers, were represented as fa-
voring vote TO give each bona fide
longshoreman an opportunity to state
his preference" regarding an organi-
zation.
Activity on Many Ships.
There was activity aboard many OF
the 239 strike-bound vessels, tie-up of
which by the 98-day conflict caused a
loss to coast business estimated as
high as $685., 900 ,000-s7 ,000. 900 day.
A compilation by the Shipowners
Research Bureau disclos' ll7,296 tons
of merchandise, exclusive Of 5.4l4,000
board feet of lumber. to be moved from
holds here, and 67,6l8 tons of cargo on
piers waiting to be transferred to
ships.
San Francisco Bay holds 70 of the
strike bound vessels which. when oper-
ating. give employment to nearly H.
900 maritime workers.
Shipping companies went ahead
with plans to resume service before the
end of the week, provided th strike
officially is ended today, and heavy
bookings of passengers and freight
were reported by many lines.

Donovan disagreed with the sug-
gestion that it was an easy matter
TO act as referee in the Brown Bomb
er's bouts because they usually ended
in a big hurry and with. no uncer-
.ainty. On the contrary, he pointed
out, it was an extremely difficult
task. In the first place he rates Louis
the most pitiless finisher in the ring
today. Because Louis is such a ter
rifle hitter he takes no chances on
allowing the Bomber to blast away
once he has his man helpless. It's
a wise referee who knows when a
man is beaten, and a courageous
,ne who steps up and halts big
bout when he deems it necessary
regardless of the crowds feelings
In the past Donovan has been
equal to the situation.

trative rookie the major leagues will
draft into stardom when Kenesaw

commissioner of baseball.

Judge" Bramham has been men
toned frequently as likely sue
cessor to the former Federal judge
who was put in charge Of all base
ball when the. 1920 revelations Of
the 1919 White Sox-C Cincinnati world
series scandal rocked the sports
world.
AS player manager. club president
and league president. the Kentucky
born lawyer learned baseball along
the steel-spiked base lanes of the
old days and through the red and
black ink of the front office.
Bramham was elevated to the
presidency of the National Associa-
ton of professional baseball leagues
at the minor league convention at
West Baden, Ind, in 1881. Relative
ly. baseball leagues were busting fas-
ter than banks then.
Played As Semi-PrO
He had played baseball in semi
pro circuits around Hopkinsville,
KY. his birthplace. served as pres
ident of the Durham club and or
ganized the North Carolina league
in 1921. At one time, in the early
1920s, he. was president Of -four
leagues simultaneously - the old
South Atlantic association. the Vir-
ginia, Piedmont and East Caro-
lima leagues.
When he became liking of the bush
leagues" Bramham struck the hypo-
dermic needle into minor baseball
and squeezed in enough hard-head-
ed business practices to bring II
through the depression years. His
accomplishment preserved the spaw-
ming grounds of major league tai

There were only II names on

IL. H. Addington, an aide in Bram-
hams office. "That season opened
with IA circuits. There were 10 in
1894, 81 in 1885 and 26 in 1886. 1t
looks like there1l be over 80 this
year"
Elimination of wild extravagances
Of the past, was the major step
Bramham said, in putting the mi

You can take Artie. Donovan's
word for it-this business OF acting
as referee at important boxing con-
tests is not what it is cracked up to
be.
In fact, the top-ranking U. S. ref
cree often wonders why he contin-
ues to work in that capacity. Ger
tainly it is not because of the re-
Enumeration. Two hundred dollars
is about the top price a referee is
paid while the contestants battle
for a 81 zoo, 900 purse.
1t must be his background, and
his natural fondness for the fight
game The son of Mike Donovan, a
great ring warrior of another day,
Arthur is himself fighter of no
mean ability. After his active ring
career was over Artie dropped out
of the picture. Only occasionally
did he attend fights. It was on one
of those infrequent visits to the
boxing shows that Donovan met
Senator Frawley, a boxing en-
thusiast. The senator chided Artie
for his lack of interest in the game
that meant so much to the senior
Donovan, and suggested that Arthur
apply for referees license.
Top In 10 Years
Artie took the hint and before he
knew it he was working as a third
man in the ring. That was about
10 years ago. Since then Donovan
has climbed the ladder until today
he tops the field, handling most
championship fights. He was the
third man in the ring when Primo
Camera took the title from Jack
|Sharkey and was on the job to halt
the Baer- Camera battle in the
