WOMAN WORKERS
WAGES APPROVED
Board 0verruIes Protests
IN FINAL Action on

Basic Scale.

Overriding specific protests by four
groups of employers, the District Mini
mum Wage Board today gave final ap-
prevail to the basic wages 1t fixed q
month ago for women and minors en-
ploysd in hotels, restaurants and allied
businesses.
The minimum wages fixed in this
industry, which will mean wage in
creases for many groups. will become
mandatory May 8, or 60 days after
the required final public hearing, held
today at the District Building. The
minimums range between 1925 and
SIT weekly.
A protest over the stipulation that
q deduction Of 80 cents per meal may
be made for employees Of public house.
keeping establishments" who are given
meals as . part of their wage, was
made. at the hearing by Miss Rose
Brunswick. speaking for the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees Alliance. She
agreed with the remainder Of the wage
order, but protested the 30-cent-per-
meal deduction was not proper on the
ground that in many instances watt
resses and others do not get balanced
meals, are prohibited from ordering
certain kinds Of foods and that their
health is consequently endangered.
She insisted the employees should be
allowed to buy their meals elsewhere
II they wished.
Col. p. M. Ashburn, superintendent
Of Columbia Hospital, who spoke for
the District Association of Hospital
Superintendent. protested that the
SIT wage for elevator girls was too
high because their needs were not
greater than those of maids and char
women. who get less. He said boys are
as well qualified as women operators
and-if over 18-could be hired for
less money. Col. Ashburn suggested
that because Of the financial condition
Of some hospitals It would be necessary
to discharge women elevator operators
and substitute men. RI
Charles ]. Rush also filed . protest
for the Washington Real Estate Board
against the wage for elevator operators,
but this was overruled like the others.
Mrs> william Kittle, board chairman,
said there were only II or 50 elevator
operators in apartment houses who
were involved, = very small percentage
Of the total.
Rufus S. Lusk, speaking for the
Building Owners 4 Managers As
ISOLATION, filed . written protest that
the board had failed to grant q special
hearing before special conference
on the wages to be fixed for employees
in apartment houses and ONCE build
ings. The board ruled 1t had previously
settled that question and announced
also the protest was not of1cially be-
fore the board because it came in some
time after the formal public hearing
had been declared.

100000 "REDS"
In U. S., BAPTIST
MINISTER SAYS

America today has approx.
mately twice as many Communists
as Russia!" declared the Rev.
Maurice L. v. Bates at Kendall
Baptist Church last night in an
address which warned against
CommuniStic boring from within
In this country.
He charged that Communists
are spending approximately $6,.
100000 a year to overthrow "our
form of government and Chris
tianity in America"
Rev. Bates said that there
have never been more than 3,O00.,
900 Communists in Russia, while
in America now it is estimated
that there are nearly 100000
Communists and sympathizers."
Followers of Marx realize
that because Of their minority
it is impossible for them to
overthrow Christian society by
revolution. So they follow the
method of boring from within
the organizations which are
strongest, to keep them from &C.
complishing their ends That is,
the church, the sc7ools and
political organizations" Mr..
Bates declared.
He said that Communists have
made some headwav in spread
their ideas in theological semi
narieS. teacher training schools
and law schools in the North, but
that their gains have been slower
in the South.
Mr.. Bates added that "Fascism
and NaziiSm are just as detri-
mental to our Government and to
Christianity as Communism is"
Speaking on Two Jews-Marx
or Christi" Mr.. Bates made sharp
contrasts between the spiritual
philosophy of Christ and the
materialistic philosophy of Marx.

soon as he learned Buck was flat
tened in one heat.
Goldie's logic was that the fans
would think Everett is a setup for
Boyd, who is known to be a ter
rifle hitter and. and should Bill
have knocked Buck out the cry
Of "setup" would have been raised.
"I'm protecting the public,
and at the same time myself"
Ahearn said. "If this guy Ever.
EFT gets stiffened it will be what
people expect. So I'm just as
well satisfied the commission
won't pass him. However, Buck
is still a good bet for Kanner.
If you remember, the last time
these two met, Murray was
Starched in couple Of heats. y
Jack Dempsey, who is the guild
ing genius behind Boyd, is taking
his managerial duties seriously.
Jack was due in town at 4::30 and
planned to work out at o'colck
at Turner'S Arena. The workout
will be private and restricted only
to newspapermen.
DEMPSEY TO SPAR
Jack intends to don the gloves
with Boyd, and this is q radical
departure from his VOW never 20
box again. Dempsey hasn't
stripped for action in five years.
He's been photographed countless
times teaching young hopefuls
how to throw a punch, but he has
never allowed his enthusiasm to
reach physical eXertion. Perhaps
the Dempsey fortune is at low ebb
and Jack hopes to recoup with
Boyd.
Whatever the reason, Dempsey
has more than a publicity interest
in the ex-Sailor, VINO boasts some
20 knockouts in 81 fights. The
old ManaSsa Mauler is still a
drawing card, and when the word
got around he was going to spar,
hundreds of fans beSieged Ahearn
to let them see the workout. But
Dempsey said no. Goldie, Incl
dentally, is a little ill. He was con-
sidering charging two bits q head
to see the workout, but Jack mixed
the scheme and said he would re-
fuse to work in public.
The old champ intends to fly
here late this afternoon.

at all times will enlarge the in
side edge Of the eye, causing a
swelling which, when treated,
will ordinarily disappear after a
few days. When the swelling
persists over a long period of
time, the haw, a third eyelid,
should be removed.
Weak, watery, and running
eyes are almost always helped
by bathing them at least once a
day with a mild boric-acid solu-

Many times when this seem

the healing Of the affected eye
has been accomplished by the
application of no remedy locally,
but by merely attending to the
general health of the animal or

the kidneys. Frequently q

medicinal aid is all that is
necessary to secure recovery and

the baby puts his foot in his
mouth. "Yeh, and I helped that
Koy and Camilli and Stainback
some, too. Just a little change
here and there and they began
to get more power and more
hits"
How about the rumor that he
was going to start pinch-hittins
again?
Nothing to it." he growled.
"I've done more than my share
of hitting already. Some young
pitcher with a good fast ball
might sock me on the head be-
fore / could duck. I'm getting
too old for that stuff"
Is THIS TREASON?
Well, could he tell us who was
the most improved ball player he'd
seen around this year?
Sure" said the Babe, with.
out a seconds hesitation, that
fellow Gordon"
And then realizing that Gordon
first name Joe, is q member Of
the Yanks of the rival league, he
beloved:
'But, say, we got a lot Of i'm
proved guys right on this club.
That Hudson there Is a pip at
second base. And Hamlin and
Posedel and Tamulis are real
pitchers now"
What did Babe think was the
chief difference between the two
major leagues.
"Well," he answered slowly,
"they play two different kinds
of baseball. Over here (the
National League) we play for
one run and try to hold it. Over
there, they play for runs in
punches. And the pitching Is
about the same, except that
over tere they throw more
curves"
One more question: Who is go.
ing to win the World Series.
"Say, somebody gimme a bat"

had already taken the hint and
was well on his way out Of the
dugout, leaving the Babe grin

and made it possible for the Yam.
KEGS to win. He hit a peak when
he muffed Cases perfect throw
to nail Rolfe in the sixth inning.
10 DiMaggio made q brilliant
running catch of a drive by
Leonard in the fourth, and
another on Bonura in the first
inning. Selkirk made a sweet
heart in the fifth on Bonura.
Tommy Heinrich made a fine
jumping catch of Cecil Travis
line drive in the tenth and STAYED
off trouble. Buddy Myer had a
chance to shine when he came up
with two on bases, only to foul
out to Red Rolfe.
Yankee power asserted itself in
the eleventh. Joe DiMaggio hit
the center field fence with a ter
rifle drive for q triple, and then
Lou Gehrig dented the right field
wall for his second double Of the
after non. That drive scored Di-
Maggie.
Sid Mercer, one of Americas
greatest sports writer's, remarked
that the Yankees didn't win on
their hitting. They won on field
ing-the other teams fielding.
Bonura was charged with an
error when Kelly threw past him
by way Of retiring Rolfe in the
first inning. That boot led to
another New York run.
It was a great relief to the pop
ulace to see Cecil Travis slap q
single into left field with two men
in scoring position. Driving in
runs is not among the great &C.
complishments Of Travis.
Lewis atoned for at least part
of his sour performance by max
ing a nice play on frankie Gro

Bucky Harris played for a tie in

enough.

other viSitin' ball club. Fact Is,
that If it wasn't for the rent the
Cardinals pay the estate which
is operatin' them Browns, the
sheriff would have probably fore
closed on them years ago."
EXPENSIVE PURCHASE
But, Griff," we interposed,
"you speak of someone buying
the Browns as though it were
merely the purchase of a carton
Of cigarettes. Don't major league
baseball franchises go into i'm
portant dough?"
yeah, they do; but somebody
ought to come along and buy
them Browns and move them to
another city, instead Of them
layin' there and becomin' a drain
on the rest of baseball" quoth
the squire of Seventh Street
and Florida Ave.
Where would you suggest the
Browns should be moved?" we
parried gingerly, hoping he
wouldn't duck the pertinent
query.
But the old gentleman was equal
to the occasion.
why there's one town that
would be the most logical place
in the world for q major league
club, and it is in the West, where
the Browns would have to be
sold anyway to keep the circuit
balanced, and there ought to be
plenty Of money in that town
with which to buy the durn
team.
MILWAUKEE PROSPECT
1T is Milwaukee," he said,
''and with all the beer they're
making up there somebody
ought to have a sock full Of
money to buy a major league
club"
"But Mr.. Griffith" again with
timidity lest he snap off our
head. what with him being in a
wishin' mood and not wanting
his dreams shattered, hasn't
Milwaukee got q franchise in
the American Association, and
wouldn't they object to a major
league team coming in to draw
away their trader"
"Troo, troo," spoke Griff,
"but I was just thinkin' and
wishin', too, that the present
Milwaukee owners ought to sell
their franchise in the Ameri-
can Association and buy the
Browns.
Milwaukee is a large, flour
iShing city and has an immense
surrounding territory from
which to draw. It'd be just as
logical to have a major team
there as it is to have one in
Brooklyn, f'r instance, as Mil
waukee connects by trolley with
Chicago, which has both an
American. and National League
team"
NTERCITY RIVALRY
wouldn't Chicago's major
league teams object to Mil
waukee'S coming into the upper
crust of baseball, Mr.. G.?"
Nav, nav, they shouldn't.
It'd make for more competition.
Ther ed be great intercity
rivalry and make business good
all around"
"Mr. G., are there any geo.
graphical limitations which bar
competition from such hardly
points as Milwaukee and Chi
cago?"
None to speak Of. The base.
ball regulations only say no
team shall spring up within 10
miles of each other"
"Well, Mr.. G., how would you
like a major league team to
spring UP, say, as close as
Laurel, Md.?"
Your Uncle Clark puffed up like
o pouter pigeon.
HUH" he calculated, "let any
Of 'em try til"
About this time his cheroot
burned out about half Of its length
