HOUSE Will Get
plan TO OUTLAW
PLANT MOVING
Exodus of Firms to
South Cited
BY ROBERT HUMPHREYS

G.N.SO The rapidly growing
controversy over the migration of
industry to areas offering labor
and plant inducements was thrust
before Congress for the first time
today.
Responding to demands from
organized labor, Representative
Bigelow CD of Ohio announced
he would introduce a bill Monday
designed to outlaw the practice
Of moving plants to gain an un-
fair competitive advantage
through cheaper or more docile
labor or concessions in taxation
and plant rental"
The measure, drafted by Merle
D. Vincent, general counsel for
the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, a CLIO affiliate,
would require any industry desir-
ing to move a plant to register
with the Department of Labor.
POSTAL VIOLATION
1t would make it a violation of
the postal laws for any Industrial
list to seek or accept so-called plant,
labor or taxation inducements
through the mails.
1t would make plant migrations
under such conditions a violation
Of the proposed act, enforceable
by Federal court injunction.
Thousands of persons are
being thrown out of work
through the movement of plants
out of metropolitan or city areas
into the South and the smaller
towns in the North" Bigelow de-
clared.
WAGNER ACT
Much of this migration is de-
signed to Illustrate the opera
ton of the Wagner labor rela-
tionS act giving the Government
the right to prevent unfair COM
petition in interstate commerce
and to protect the bargaining
rights of the workers.
At the present time in Akron,
Ohio, the Goodrich Rubber Com
pany is threatening to move its
plant unleS its employees agree
to a 10 per cent wage cut.
"Remington-Rand has already
moved a plant from Cincinnati
that employed more than 5000
persons. Ohio cities have lost
much of the shoe industry in
recent months through similar
migration"
WORST OFFENDER
Bigelow charged that one of
the worst offenders" in offering
inducements is the South. The
Supreme Court a week ago re-
fused to review an appeal from
the decision of State Supreme
Court of Mississippi upholding an
amendment to the State constitu-
ton authorizing bond issues to
finance the construction of plants
to be leased to induStrialists.
A year ago, New York courts
held that the proposal of an in.
dustrialist to move his plant con-
stituted a violation of contract
with a labor union and issued re-
straining order. A similar case is
now pending against a Flint
(Mich) company.
Bigelow said a provision in his
bill would declare it to be illegal
for an employer to move his plant
when party to a labor bargain.

HIGHER INCOME
LEVY, FARM AID
TAXES DEBATED
Senate Faces Fight on
Two Proposals
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

| GN.S) Desperate plight in
the great agricultural sections of
the nation was pictured to the
Senate today when Western and
Southern members Joined in an
effort to force an amendment to
the new tax bill to raise $227 500
600 through special levies on
manufactured goods for distribu-
ton to farmers.
Senator Tom Connally, CD of
Texas, q member Of the Finance
Committee, joined the agrarian
uprising, with a warning that cot
ton farmers will be in deeper de-
preston next fall unless Congress
comes to the rescue with more
money for benefit checks.
Party lines were shattered by
agrarian uprising for the Pope
amendment, with Senator Ship.
stead F.-L) of Minnesota, joining
in pleading that the Government
make good its promise Of parity
for agriculture"
INCOME LEVY RUSHED
A close vote was predicted on
series of amendments by Senator
La Toilette. La Follette'S SurtaX
amendment also would begin sur
tax rates at $4,000 net income in
place of the $4,000 in present law.
He had another amendment to
increase the normal tax rate upon
personal incomes from 4 to 6 per
cent.
Several hundred million dollars
additional revenue would be OBJ
tanned If all Of his amendments
were adopted, it was explained.
Also, many thousands of little
fellows" who do not now pay di.
rect income taxes, would be added
to the tax roll.
COMBINATION CHANCE
A survey Of Senate sentiment
indicated La Follette's best chance
for victory was in a combination
of the surtax and lower-exemp-
tionS amendments. His proposal
to hike the normal income tax
rate was not believed by leaders
to have much chance of survival.
With the Pope and La Toilette
amendments out of the way, quick
passage Of the bill was foreshad-
owed. Major provisions Of the
Finance Committee bill have been
approved.
When and if the Senate passes
the bill, it will go to conference
with the House, which approved
a vastly different measure, more
to the liking of the Administra-
ton.

ST. LOUIS CLUBS
ARE MOSTLY GAS
Cards, Short on Pitching,
Seem Almost as Bad as
Weak-Hitting Browns.
By IL. Associated Press.

By IL. Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS. May 14-Inspired by
the Gas House Gang" label Of the
scrapping Cardinals. some wag has
tagged the Browns the Gas Meter
Gang" because they're always in the
cellar. You know that gag about st.
Louis:
FIRST in booze, first in shoes and last
in the American League"
But, 50 far this season, the Cardi-
nails have great deal in common with
the Browns-neither Is finding 1t easy
to win.
The Cards have given up their no
bic experiments" in an effort to settle
down to the serious business of going
places in the National League, but
they've decided to Try one of them
again.
Cards Slip on Slab.
On paper, it seems an excellent idea
to convert Outf1elder Don Padgett into
a catcher, Outflelder Terry Moore into
a third baseman, and Third Baseman
Don Gutteridge into a shortstop. On
the field, none Of the experiments
worked successfully.
However. when Joe Stripe, ex-
Brooklyn Dodger. signed after a long
holdout. the Cardinals Immediately in
stalled him on third base. Gutteridge,
who hits too we'll to be benched. moved
over to try his luck at shortstopping
again.
Not that Dizzy Dean would have
made any difference, but the Cards big
trouble seems to be pitching. Only
lean, long Lon Warnecke has been
able to win consistently. Bob Weiland,
Max Macon and Curt Davis, among
others. have been pounded without
fear or favor.
Browns Bad at Bat.
With the Browns, If it isn't one
thing. it's another.
Last year they got plenty hitting,
but little pitching and loose fielding.
This year their fielding has been ex-
cellent and the pitching fair to mid
ding, but not good enough to over
come the handicap Of . weak batting
attack which has produced an average
Of only four runs q game.
Beau Bell. for example. who wound
up 1887 with q mark Of $40. Is hitting
only .22l. Harold Cliff has yet to
get home run. although he smashed
70 last season. In fact. only one play
er, Rookie Mel Mazzera, is over 800
and his average Is just $40.

CUBS THINK WAY
TO LOSS TO BUGS
Leave Hitters on Bench in
Pinch in Ninth-Yanks
Find As Rough.
BY SID FEDER.
Associated Press Sports Writer

Wanted: Some nice young man. with
not too much baseball brains. who can
give the Chicago Cubs master-minds
some pointers on master -minding.
Don't be surprised If that ad appears
in Chicago dailies today as the result
Of the latest assortment of gems"
produced yesterday by jolly Cholly
strategy, which was supposed to be the
last word in diamond brains this sea-
son.
Get this picture: The score is tied,
IL, in the home (Cubs) half of the
ninth inning. One run is needed to
break up the ball game with the Pitts
burgh Pirates. The Cubs have rum
ners on first and second with one out.
The pitcher Is the next batter.
Same Old Strategy.
Obviously. a pinch-hitter is called
for. The pitcher, in this case, was
Larry French. Now Larry's a nice
fellow and good pitcher, but usually
he can't even buy hit. Resting on
the bench were several handy guys
with the war-club, like Frank Demaree
or Jim O'Dea. or even young Jim As
bell, who has hit two-for-two in pinch
the Cubs Master Minds, Inc. (Cholly
Grimm. prez) do? Why, they not only
let French it-pardon-not only let
him 60 to the plate, but order him to
sacrifice, as well!
The result was as expected: instead
Of having two chances to bring the run
in from second, the Cubs were left with
just one chance of getting it across
from third And. needless to say, op-
portunity, after knocking that once,
took run-out.
Bucs Busy in Tenth.
As If that weren't enough. the Bucs
went to work in their half of the
tenth inning. Larry French, naturally,
still was pitching. But he didn't stay
for long. Two men hit safely and a
run was in. But two were out. In
that spot, Grimm called for an inten-
tional walk for Johnny Rizzo, 80 that
French could get such . popover bat
ter as Arky Vaughan, who's usually
about as easy to get out as the last
week end guess. Arky obliged with
base hit, q second run came in, and
French headed for the showers.
The final bad news for the Grimm
gallopers was: Pittsburgh, 4; Chicago,
/. Although Bill Terry's Giants and
the rest Of the National League had
a day of, it must have been a most en-
joyable occasion to the terrible one.
As Surprise Yankees.
Meantime, the American League had
q full day and handed the folks several
surprise packages. For instance,
Connie Mack shook up his lowly Ath-
letics for their flrst 1898 outing in
Yankee Stadium. and the revamped
lineup clicked for an 8-6 win over
the world champions on the strength
Of q five-run splurge in the seventh,
while the Red Sox bounced up to
second place with q 100 triumph over
Washington's league-leading Nationals.
The Cleveland Indians came home
to their always friendly ball park, but
they must have thought they still were
on the road. They blew q two-run
lead in the ninth and dropped a 7-6
decision to the White Sox.
The Detroit Tigers. also back from
their road trip, barely held on for .
7-5 win over the staggering st. Louis
Brownies, with young George Gill
going the route.

lifted a high short fly to left. Taft
staggered like drunken sailor before
getting his pinchers on 1t.
Jimmy Foxx and Joe Cronin showed
the Mats something in the fourth in
ming, when they pulled double steal
on Yves Ferrell. Few realize it. but
Foxx is one Of the fastest men in base
ball. Jimmy was sliding into third
base before Rick Ferrells quick throw
reached Buddy Lewis.
There isn't much love lost when the
Ferrell brothers play against their old
mates, the Bostons. A pitch Of Jack
Wilson's came suspiciously close to
Rick Ferrell in the second inning and
the fans yelled: Hit EN-" Yves Fer
rell threw a couple close inside to Joe
Cronin, too.
That was Buddy Lewis sixth stolen

Buddy beat Desautels perfect throw

attempt to tag him. He's leading the
league.
Wright drew an error in the Boston
sixth and he deserved it. With Pitcher
Wilson on second. Ben Chapman sin
gled to left. Wilson pulled up at third,
but Taft juggled the ball momentarily.
This prompted Wilson to scoot for
home. Wright still could have thrown
him out. but instead Of heaving to the
plate he threw to third. which had
been vacated not only by Wilson but
also by Lewis.
The four runs scored by Boston In
the sixth 60 into the records as un-

Travis. The shortstop booted a high

When Jack Wilson whipped the Mats

jumped over the beaten Yankees and

New York and Cleveland could have

The outfield problem is what is

He can't field we'll enough" Taft
