SPRINGFIELD, Mo, Sept. l5.-- lThe attractive blonde stopped be- hind the visitors dugout at the baseball park here, called to one of the players, and asked: Who's your pitcher tonight and is the scoreboard lineup correct?" Tine player arcned his eyebrows, jsmiled and walked over toward the box seat section thinking he might have acquired new admirer. Pass ling a more experienced teammate, however, he was startled by a warn ling:
 Lay off, Joe, you can't make a hit with that girl, unless it's a line drive against the fence. She's not only the official scorer of the Springfield team, but the leagues statistician as we'll"
 The player mumbled weakly Wait miss and I'll get the manager. He'll give you the lineup"
 Mrs. Helen Lloyd Snow went through high school and one year of college with as little mathematics as the law would allow
 Yet she's been juggling Western Association batting averages pitch ing percentages and correcting of ficial scorers who ought to know better since 1932. She is the only Wv m n statistician in organized baseball, and probably the only wo- man in the U. s. who is regularly appointed official scorer by a pro- fessional club.
 Sports Editor Husband
 Only 29, she knows more baseball figures than a pool hall full of "de- mons of the dope" But she never scored a game until 1892, although she has been an ardent fan as long as she can remember
 The Western Associations aver age compiler was married six years ago to a Springfield sports editor John Snow. Her technical baseball knowledge started to grow immed- lately By June, 1892, she had ta- ken over the scorebook in the press box Snow himself then was stat istician for the league, but she as- sumed that work, too, after helping out a few weeks. By 1884 she was

BASING OF POINT SYSTEM
IN CEMENT PRICES HIT
Federal Trade Commission Files
Monopoly Charges for
Figuring Freight.

BY the Associated Press,
The Federal Trade Commission filed
monopoly charges against most of the
cement industry yesterday as a second
warning to industry to abandon the
"basing point system of Standard
izlng prices.
The campaign against basing point
prices was started three months ago
with complaint against manufacture
ers of cast iron soil pipe.
Charging the Cement Institute and
IS member corporations who produce
95 per cent of the Nations cement,
with using the basing point system,
the commission alleged the firms
sought to eliminate competition and
raise prices.
Under the system, competing pro-
ducers figure their freight costs from
the same place, regardless of the &C
tual location of their plants The ef-
feet, the commission said, is that
customers nearest the mills are
obliged to pay higher net prices than
are made by the mills to distant Gus

By the Associated Press.
The Works Progress Administration,
despite growing mass of complaints,
appeared almost sure today to COM
plete its reduction of the rolls to
1,665,477 workers by July Is.
Officials said the progressive reduc-
tlons. which removed more than
$4,000 from the W. P. A. roster in
the fortnight ending June IS, are
proceeding according to plan
June Is employment was 1.821.l51.
almost 100000 below the June 5 level.

of more than 5000, 900 workers in Feb
bruary, 1886
Because w P. A. will have only

against about $4,000, 100000 in the
last, Administrator Harry Hopkins or
dered the rolls cut to 1,665.477 by

W. P. A. spokesmen discounted the
Importance of complaints from worker
groups and said they came mostly from
the comparatively small but highly
articulate white collar employees on
arts projects.

HOUSING PROJECT
BOON TO BR|T0NS
Thousands of Ex- SIum
DWeIIers Now Living in
COTTAGE Homes.
BY HOWARD VINCENT O'BRIEN.

BY HOWARD VINCENT OBRIEN.
LONDON.-Most of the building in
this country is still done by spectators;
but government is taking an ever
larger part in solving the problem of
low-cost housing.
Yesterday 1 visited the Waiting
project, where some 1900 ex-slum
dWellers live in cottage homes, each
with its small garden and surrounded
by parks and Fairgrounds. Rentals
are around $l2 a month, and trans
portation is by underground-a half
hour ride, with round trip fare of 7
cents, provided the customer leaves
before 7:30 o'clock in the morning.
These homes are not luxurious, but
they are comfortable and we'll kept.
The health of the tenants is notably
better than it was in their former
environment; and delinquency is at a
minimum. The police have next to
nothing to do.
Community Spirit Meager.
There is practically no community
spirit" The tenants wish to live inde-
pendent lives. They refuse to con-
slider themselves part of an institution,
and only a handful have enrolled as
members of the Community Council.
A shopping center has grown up
around this project, and, with the
lower ground-rentS, prices are lower
than in the metropolitan area.
For people earning from $40 to SIS
a week, these paternalistic projects
of the London County Council offer
a maximum of creature comfort. But
over them, as one said grimly, the fear
of idleness and old age still weighs
heavily. One gets a small pension at
10, but, as this man said, one is likely
to get the sack at so.
England has done much along social
service lines-much more than We
have; but the specter of insecurity still
stalks the working masses.
Visits Settlement House.
Wishing to see where the tenants in
the Waiting Cottages had come from,
\ NlSIlCb lIOuSe al ftCk-
ham-one of the poorest districts in
London.
There found, among other services,
q nursery school, where some 40 tots
are taken care of while their mothers
are at work, They are taught to brush
their teeth and are provided with milk
and warm clothing. The results, in
improved health, are definitely measur-
able. Some day, society will awake to
the fact that poverty is too expensive
to be endured Then the state will
take over, in large way, the services
that privately-maintained settlement
houses now render to such a pitifully
small extent
1t is significant to look back on the
developments in social conscience, and
see that all of them were begun bv in
dividual altruiSts The roots of all of
them are in the warm heart of private
charity. Only when the good has been
demonstrated does the community step
In to carry it on and extend it.

Ford Charges jor Test.
Meanwhile, Government attorneys
conceded, the National Labor Rela-
tions Board faces major test of
power in charging the Ford Motor
Co, with unfair labor practices
All indications point to hard,
fought legal battle-possibly ending in
the Supreme Court-following the
fact-tinding hearing which opens to-
morrow in Detroits Federal Building.
The Ford Co.. in answering the
board, stated Saturday it was ire
serving all its constitutional rights
and excepting and objecting to the
jurisdiction Of the N. L. R. B.. and
said the boards complaint should
De dlSmlSSed.'
The N. L. r. B. complaint, issued
upon petition by the United Auto
mobile Workers of America, is the
first directed by the board against a
major automobile manufacturer.
Government attorneys say also that
never before has the authority vested
in the board by the Wagner act been
directed against so large and deter
mined an adversary.
N. L. r. B. officials said that about
10 persons have been summoned to
testify at the hearing, to be held in
an unused court room seating some
100 spectators.
The boards complaint is based
largely on a riot May Is outside the
Ford Co.'S Rouge plant in suburban
Dearborn and appears to give tacit
support to the U. A. w. A. campaign
to organize the 100000 Ford produc-
ton workers in this country.
The company's answer, signed by
Harry H. Bennett, personnel director
denied the charges of making "malic-
Gus and brutal assaults" on U. A. w. A.
organizers who went to the vast fac
tory to distribute handbillS.

The steel makers and leaders of the

Blame Storm for Slump.
The JohnstoWn rally had been ad-
Vertlsed by c. I. o. spokesmen as a
meeting Ito show the Nation whether
or not we can get 10000 strike
sympathizers into Johnstown." State
police estimated the turnout as under
10000. Union leaders said that the
rainstorm which broke before the
meeting was well under way kept down
the attendance
big jim" Mark, white haired strike
leader, said
There were 10000 people either
here in the grove or on their way
when this rain came up. OF course,
many thousands turned around and
went back when they saw the storm. -
The appearance of Gov. Earle held
thousands at the grove even though
rain was falling torrentially.
The Governor criticized Bethlehem
Steel for refusing to sign contracts
with G. l. O., and said he was send
ing States Attorney General Charles
j. Margiotti to Washington Wednes-
day ito see If We can't force an elec-
ton" among steel workers of the
Bethlehem plant. The election would
determine if c. I. O. should represent
the men in bargaining negotiations
with the company
The refusal of the steel companies
10 sign contracts is, believe, viola
ton of the Wagner labor act" the
Governor said.
The crowd acclaimed Earle with
shouts ana some one shrieked Earle
for President" The Governor, who
mas said he was not candidate to
succeed President Roosevelt, smiled.
He advised his listeners to heed
these three regulations:
1. Drive the Communists
out of your ranks.
2. Labor must keep its contracts
once they are made.
). Commit no acts of violence. I
don't know who planted that dvna
mite around the plants, but do know
that the company has offered a re-
ward for the offenders. The labor
unions ought to offer reward too
Then, they would show the public that
they don't condone violence and would
. be happy to learn who the culprits
are"
He continued: II think I don't
have to tell you that we are friends.
You proved that to me in 1894. I'm
your friend. Ending the coal and
iron police, signing the 44-hour week
bill, pushing through the occupational
disease legislation proves that.
I'm going to tell you just what,
In my heart. When the strike was
called I few to Johnstown and talked
with union leaders, civic officials and
company representatives. 1 asked
them just what the situation was
The company told me they saw nc
reason for drawing up written con-
tract with the union.
When I asked the company why
the request of organized labor for q
written contract was not reasonable
they answered We've never done it,.
L declared Bethlehem was unrea
sonable in its attitude"
Commenting on the complaint OF
the steel employers that the C. I. o
was irresponsible, the Governor said
II have known Philip Murray and
dealt with him for many years. Il
