NINE RACES SET FOR
 ACAWAM JUNE 30

Springfield, June 29-With nine races scheduled for tomorrow, Aga wam park will hit its mid-week peak of the season.
 The extra race has been sanc- toned by the Massachusetts racing commission and the proceeds will be turned over to the Boston American for its Christmas basket fund, one of the most worthy charities ever conceived by newspaper.
 General Manager Eddie Brennan announced today that the third race on the program will be the Basket Fund Special, and he and racing secretary M c ny" Shea will ar- range the card of races so that one of the best wagering races of the day will be run as the third race.
 Features are crowding on the heels of features as the 1887 meeting rushes to its conclusion, and the star event of Saturday will be the outstanding race of the meeting, if the expectations of the officials are realized.
 It will be the James c. Thorn ton Memorial Handicap, six fur longs event that is certain to at- tract such outstanding sprint stars as Pass Elm By, High Hedge, Bub- blesome, Patsey Begone, and the rest of the scintillating cast that has made this racing season the most memorable in the history of Agawam Park.
 The race will pay tribute to the gentle memory of Jim" Thornton, who guided the track over the blackest period in its existence last year and was destined to become perhaps the most important racing official in the country had he lived.
 Governor Robert E. Quinn of Rhode Island and his staff will be in attendance, and the governor will present handsome plaque to com- memorate the first annual running of the Thornton Memorial. William E. Shawcross of Providence, form CT steward here, chairman of the Rhode Island State democratic conn., mittee, and aide to Governor Quinn will also be in attendance, along with other notableS in the social and political life of Rhode Island.
 "Jim" Thornton was a prominent Holy Cross graduate, and was one of the best-loved men ever connec- ted with the sport of kings. And if a crowd of record proportions is on hand for the race dedicated to his memory, he will have been largely responsible, for in the years to come, he will be known as the savior of horse-racing in Western Massachusetts.

PAINTERS DEMAND
MORE MONEY HERE

Painters Of the local union were
reported today to be making plans
for a demand Of n wage increase to
SLIP per hour, which Is approx
inately the figure paid union paint
ers during the prosperity year Of
1929.
This report Is the first to drift
into THE public light. although 1t is
said that plans for the demand have
been made over period Of several
months. The demand Of the paint
ers follows closely on the heels Of
the recent announcement that the
Master PLUMBERS association would
start preparations for q hike In
price to $l.25 per hour.
President James Donahue Of the
local painters union was unwilling
to comment on the subject, when
queried this morning. At first he
stated, 1--WE won't have anything
doing on that for about q month
This comment jibed with the report
gathered by The Democrat today
that the plan would be effective
early In April. AT the close Of the
brief interview, Mr.. Donahue stated
that there was no such measure
pending, and that he had nothing
to say In regard to 1t.
Should this rumored proposed
rate become uniformly effective
members of the painters union
would be earning approximately SIC
for less than q nine hour working
day.
