Derby FaVorite,
Paddock Selection
By PADDOCK

WAR ADMIRAL-Rain or shine,
I must give the son of Man-O-War
the call in the Derby today. Win
ner of his last two starts, the
Glen Riddle colt will take COM
mand at the start and make every
post a winning one. He worked
a mile and oneeighth in 1854 Is
as his final breeze for this.
SIR DAMON may be handi-
capped for his outside post posi-
ton. The son of Sir Gallahad ran
a powerful race at Jamaica in the
Woods Memorial. If he runs his
usual honest race I expect the
contention to come from this one.
With BILLIONAIRE Colonel
Bradley will be shooting the works
today. Jockey George Woolf
rides.
REAPING REWARD received a
conditioner here the other day
which should have put the Milky
Way colt on edge. Conqueror OF
Pompoon, the son of Sickle figures
mighty close in here.
Jockey Robertson, who will ride
POMPOON, either was spooflng
in his last race or else he was
trained off. Worked a brisk mile
in 1:42 for this and regardless OF
track conditions, he should run
an improved race.

DETROIT, Mich, May S.-The
low estate of Washington base
ball is mirrored more by the re-
suits of yesterdays battle with
the Detroit Tigers than by the
standing of the clubs, and if that
were any lower the boys would be
in the American Association-and
maybe's there's an idea in that.
They might win in the American
Association. You just can't tell.
Roxie Lawson, pitcher Of the
Tigers has won four games for
the bang-alls, and that's fine, as
a pitcher. But he figured all too
prominently in the beating OF the
Griffs yesterday on his own &C
count-often a pitcher wins In
spite of himself. This Lawson,
with the aid of Pete Appleton yes
terday was a most important
actor.
In the second inning with Mar
vim owen on first base, Appleton
stuck medium speed ball
through the middle of the plate.
and Lawson rammed it up against
the right center field pavilion for
a double scoring owen. In the
fourth inning he parked another
medium speed ball in left field
and scored after Jo-Jo White had
pushed him to third. He drove
in one run and scored one run.
One and one makes two in any
language, and the record shows
that washington scored only two
runs all afternoon. One Tiger
was worth eleven GriffS, includ'
ing what we laughingly call pinch
hitters.
10 Game Streak
The other two runs were pro-
duced by Gerry Walker who has
hit in Is consecutive games. He
singled to score Mickey Cochrane.

You know the Derby has ever
been a rivalry between the so
called hard boots from the hills
of Kentucky and the strain East
ward from beyond the Blue Ridge.
Why, this very day down in
sleepy Louisville where even the
smoke from the tall brewery stacks
curls lazy out over the misty foot
hills and away into the hazy noun
tains, they will tell you a hard boot
will win, when they refer to Colo
mel Bradley's Billionaire.
In fact Colonel Bradley tells you
as much this week in the only
magazine article he is said to ever
have given his name, through his
good friend John I. Day.
For Bradley that is an act of
supreme friendship, for, by his
own admission before recent Sen
ate investigation, he is a gambler,
and gamblers are great people to
keep their own counsel, say naught
of signing periodical stories.
A Kentucky Legend
Anyway, War Admiral is a name
on the tongues of tens of thou
sands of TURTLES today, the sixty
third Derby Day, by which the
grand old State of Kentucky
marks its very history, and, in
truth, owes her very fame.
Yet, if War Admiral wins, and
you can't get a very heavy lay that
he won't, what with Pompoon's
failure in the Wood Memorial at
Jamaica last Saturday and Reap
ing Rewards failure in THE

COLLECTING WAGES FROM
DEFAULTING EMPLOYERS
Gu them.

The Autumn Federation Of Labor's
fight for the enactment Of laws in
every state to insure wage collections
and ether protection for wage earners
IS apparently bearing the fuit Of sue
cess.
According to reports to the last
convention in Denver, % states this
year enacted laws or adopted amend
ments to existing laws covering wage
payment, wage collection and liens.
Labor commissioners in four states
were authorized to accept assignment
Of wage claims to collect for wage
earners through the civil courts, MAX
ing the total number Of states with
this arrangement eleven. Thirty-fve
states reported some activity along
this line this year, compared with 18
in 1882
Typical of the need for this service
and how effective it can be made is a
recent report by the division Of mini
mum wage Of the Ohio department Of
industrial relations. During one month
October, back wages were collected
for employees in three industries in
which minimum pay code had beer
established totalling $1,292.76. Three
cases were taken to court during the
month and il is pointed out that tbs
division has never lost a case in court
Forty orders Of compliance were issu.

month and eleven cases were settlec

power and scope Of the federal gov
ernment. The mere making Of such
proposals is an insult, and should get
extremely short shrift both at the
White House and in congress.
The first two proposals boil down
70 this. That the utilities will return
The stolen goods which the federal
trade commission has uncovered, if
the government viii not seek to re-
cover anything else! The gall Of the
utility industry is not divided into
three parts. It is solid, whole, and
quite impenetrable to reason.
Yet the Willie proposals represent
progress. At least, the utilities con
fess those sins which have been proved
ca them.

WHY NOT INDUSTRIAL HEALTH?

The Merchants Association of New
York, holding its 10th anniversary
meeting, called attention to the I'M
mense progress the city has made
since 1897 in health. The general
death rate Of the population in 1897
was 21.52 per 1000 each year. Last
year, it was 1854 per 1000. More
startling still is the change in infant
death rates. The association says that
40 years ago, in some parts Of the
city, 25 per cent of the babies born
died within a year. Now. the infant
death rate for the whole city is around
As per 1000
IN other words, it has paid huge
dividends to plan and work and spend
for physical health. In the light Of
experience, what valid objection can
be made to planning, working and
spending for industrial health?
If we can beat back tuberculosis to
a fraction of its former deadliness,
why can't we beat back poverty just
as much?
If we can abolish typhoid fever, why

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

here are some Of the things which
it is reported on good authority that
he has done:
He has increased the number of
schools in Mexico from 1000 to $4,000.
Other reports, not so solidly based,
are that the number of school children
in Mexico has much more than dou-
bled in the last three years.
He has built 10 of the 27 dams and
irrigation systems which he laid out
for his term, and made at least good
start on his promised road system
He has given land to 100000 Mexi-
can families, expropriating the land
lords who hold such fantastic estates
in Mexico, though paying them-not
teo much, one hopes-for their van
ished titles. And he is straining every
nerve to introduce the Scandinavian
cooperative system in Mexico.
The new dictatorship in Brazil has
issued a decree-or whatever else you
want to call it-that if the jury in
any case renders a verdict contrary
to the evidence" the jurors will be
prosecuted for perjury. Of course, the
Judge, appointed by the Fascist rulers
will be sole Judge Of the evidence.
The Brazil bunch have taken 9
roundabout way for their dirty work
Hitler was more direct. When he got
tired of some $50 men who had helpec
him to power, he sent out his thug:
and had them all murdered the same
night. But with practice, the Brazil
ian dictatorship may come up t
