Hi|Iman, Fighting
Wagner Act Change,
Charges Bad Faith
c. !. o. Officer Questions
Sincerity Of Business
Men Asking Amendments
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press
Sidney Hillman, c. I. o. vice pres
ident, told the Senate Labor Com
n1ittee today that proposed amend
ments to the Wagner Act would
change it from an instrument of
industrial to an instrument of in
dustrial war"
Mr.. Hillman, who also is president
of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America. questioned the
sincerity of manufacturers advo-
eating amendments.
I'VE need only inquire to what
extent they have engaged in gen.
uine collective bargaining with an
independent organization of their
workers" he said.
Opposing any changes in the law,
Mr.. Hillman said:
THE Wagner Act has been sue
cessful largely because it is con-
fined in its provisions to the state
ment of fundamentals, leaving their
application to the sound discretion
and good common sense of an ad-
Alihllobl oIlFC bOuy WlllCll Ids ldSI
become an expert in this difficult
field of human endeavor"
AS Mr.. Hillman testified before
the Senate committee opposition to
amendments also was voiced before
the House Labor Committee by
Matt Meehan, secretary treasurer of
the c. l. O.'s International Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's S
Union.
"On the West Coast" he said,
"the proposals of the A. F. L. ex-
ecutive council to emasculate the
Wagner Act do not represent the
views of the rank and file of or
ganized labor.
THE A. F. L. executive council
knows that if the average employer
Is given the power to discriminate
in favor of one union and against
another this power will be used in
favor of the A. F. l.. and against the
G. I. o.
THAT is why they propose these
amendments"

Paper-Route Friends
Attend Funeral Of
Francis {. Pywe||
UnfoiIine Service in
Wagon Made Him q
College Park Figure
BY HENRY A, Muslin.

The man who became we'll known
in College Park. Md, by delivering
newspapers every Sunday for 25
years in the same one-horse wagon
was buried today in Rock Creek
Cemetery after services at the home
he built for himself on University
lane nearly so years ago.
Francis Edward Frank Pywell,
30. who died Sunday. night of a
heart ailment, never failed to ap-
pear on schedule at the homes
along his route. Many to whom he
delivered papers were among those
present this morning at the last
rites.
Paid Bonus for Services.
Since 1914. when his son, who had
started the paper route, enlisted in
the Navy, Mr. Pywell had carried
it on and expanded it to the point
where at one time he was delivering
as many as 600 newspapers. During
the past several years modern cir
culation methods made Washing
ton papers available to his patrons
at S cents, whereas Mr.. Pywell
always asked, 7. However, most of
the people he had served insisted
on paying him the extra 2 cents.
They liked his colorful and in
falllble service. A powerfully built
man, he was never sick a day in
his life until heart trouble forced
him to give up the paper route
three years ago. He was an almost
legendary figure during the past
decade, driving about the College
Park area in the old wagon white
haired and little stopped with
age.
COMMITTED to Work.
Born in Washington in 1859, Mr..
Pywell lived in the District and
worked as carpenter until 1890,
when he bought acres of land on
the old Eversheld estate just west
of the University of Maryland cam
pus. Thereafter he commuted,

Park at 6:03 am. Only once in II
years did he miss it, despite dirt
roads and inclement weather.
Meanwhile he had married a
Washington girl. Mary Louise Wet
Eel The daughter of German I'M
migrants. her mother could speak
no English Before he could ask
Mary Louise's hand in marriage,
MI Pywell had to learn to speak
the words in German. She died
in 1923 and Mr.. Pywell gave up his
carpentry work in Washington to
stay at home with his children.
Surviving him are a sister. Mrs.
Maurice Shipley; two daughters,
Mrs. Charles Kaldenback and Mrs.
Arthur j. Lohr, and a son, Ernest
E., all of Prince Georges County,
and another son, Harry E., of Wash

Suit to Recover
lone Cent in Tax
In Supreme Court
Ey the Associated Press

A suit to recover l cent was filed
today with the Supreme Court.
G. Leon De Aryan of East San
Diego, Calf, contended he had been
improperly charged a 1-cent sales
tax on a 15-cent purchase of card
board from Roy o. Akers, a retailer.
The high tribunal was asked to re-
view a decision by the California
Supreme Court sustaining the COL
lection.
It was argued that the State sales
tax was per cent, while a tax of
cent on a 15-cent purchase was at
the rate of SGT per cent. This was
termed excessive and illegal.

Year S Longest Win
Streak Puts Bosox
Back in Lead
Beot Tigers for Sixth
Straight; Bucs Make
Ii Four in Row
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The longest winning streak in
the major leagues this spring is
six games and it seems appropriate
that it has landed the Boston Red
Sox in first place in the American
League today.
Exactly week ago today the Red
Sox moved into a tie for the lead
when the Yankees lost a couple of
games in row and then two idle
days gave the top perch back to
New York. Yet here the boys are
back bigger and bolder than ever
the minute the champions make a
mistake.
The Yankees mistake was giving
two bases on balls in the l1th inning
yesterday Hal Trosky came to bat
and doubled one of the runners
home for a 2-1 triumph by the
Cleveland Indians to spoil an other
wise well-pitched Shit game for
Lefty Gomez.
Rookie Rich Wins Another.
Bostons answer was a Al victory
over Detroit on the Shit hurting
of Rookie Woodrow Rich. This just
about settled questions about the
quality of the Red Sox pitching
this year. 1t was the second time
Rich had started. and finished.
game. In his debut the Little Rock
recruit licked the Philadelphia
Athletics on six hits
On Wednesday Eldop Auker, ac-
ouired from the Tigers, stopped the
Indians with five hits and Junior
Jim Bagby and old Moses Grove
have gone the route respectively in
two and one other game, giving
up no more than seven hits in
any.
More surprising than that they are
leading their league is that the Red
SoX are doing it at the same time
the Boston Bees are on top in the
National League. Research by some
joyous New Englanders has brought
to light the fact this hadn't hap
pened for 25 years.
Bees Drop Two Straight.
The Bees have lost their last two
games, so it is possible it may not
happen for another quarter of
century. The Cincinnati Reds got
three runs off Jim Turner in the
first two innings yesterday and, al
though AL Simmons hit a home run
with one on to tie the score In the
third, the Bees couldn't come
through and the Reds triumphed in
the 18th inning on a run singled
home by Harry Craft.
The Pittsburgh Pirates won their
fourth straight by beating the
Phillies, 1877, while the Brooklyn
Dodgers handed the Chicago Cubs
their seventh setback in eight games,
6-3, on some clever pitching by
Rookie Whitlow Wyatt, who now has
won three without defeat. The
Cardinals turned the tables on the
New York Giants, rs. with Curt
Davis giving six hits-two of them
homers by Bob Seeds.
The Athletics out-walloped the
st. Louis Browns, 1915, in a game
which included % hits, three of them
homerS.

Derby BIuebIoods Great Guys,
Ever Ready for Pat on Nose;;
All Suckers for Goodies
BY SID FEDER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LOUISVILLE. KY, May 6.-After
spending a week talking to the Derby
bluebloods on scattered topics from
politics to painting, you get the idea
these 10 lads in this afternoons $50
600 canter are pretty regular fellows,
even If they are in the Blue Book.
There's nothing snobbish about
these steppers. They'll come right
up and nudge you for a pat on the
nose. Not a one of the 10 acts up
when a stranger comes near, and
if you're an old pal of week, why
you're just like one and one.
Take Technician, for instance. The
big son OF Insco looks at you from
one eye, then turns and half winks
with the other. Then he leans out
for a pat on his bay nose and, to
show his appreciation, he aims
playful bite at your ear. Or walk
oven to Johnstown's stall. He knows
he's the center of attraction as the
Derby favorite all right, and he's
mighty proud of that long white y"
initiating his nose from forehead to
nostrils. Or he'll turn and give you
a look at those big quarters, from
which he gets his tremendous speed.
Ell Chico Is Friendliest.
The friendliest of the lot is little
red -headed Ell Chico. He's barely
big enough to get his head out OF the
stall. But as soon as you approach,
there he is asking for just a light
touch of friendship. And he'll stand
contentedly, minute after minute,
while you continue patting. When
YOU stop, he opens his lips in half
smile. mods his thanks and goes
back to his oats as you walk away.
Challedon is "Pete" to the folks,
and looks just like big happy kid.
He stands pretty big as he bends his
head toward you; one ear Is cooked
In one direction, the other half leans
in another, and his black name Is
spread all over his forehead and
down to his eyes.
The easiest going Of the lot is
