Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

Chestnut Hill, Mass, August Is. -. (UP) Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich have obligingly come to the aid of the United States Davis Cup selection committte and solved a troublesome problem for 1t.
 For months the committeeman have fretted and stewed about which team they should choose to oppose Quist and Bromwich in the chal- lenge round doubles at Philadelphia early next month. They have considered and tried more combina- tions than there are on the lock of bank safe.
 Now, thanks to Quist and Brom- wich, they have to worry no more. The two Australians put an end to the problem yesterday in quarter final round match of the national doubles tournament here. In crush ing, routing, and humiliating Gene Mako and Jack Tidball, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, they proved that it doesn't mat ter a great deal who the Amirican Davis cup pcommittee selects.
 It can be any team and still the Australians are going to win.
 The classic Longwood courts, whose turf has felt the drives and volleys of all the great doubles teams of the last 50 years, have seen few greater doubles exhibitions than Quist and Bromwich staged yesterday. Mako, winner of the title last year with Don Budge, and Tidball, are no pushovers, as their winter record of 10 tournament vic- tories attests. On paper, at least, they stand with the five best doubles tams in the world. But they were like children like tyros, against the Australians. In fewer than 30, min- utes they were swept off the courts in straight sets, victims of beau- tiful combination of power, finesse, and giule.
 Couldn't Miss
 The Australians couldn't miss any, thing, either on attack or defense, up close or in the back court .Brom- wich went IS games before netting a ball, and Quist 70 before outing his first shot. Their services were never seriously challenged, but they tore the services of their oppo- nents apart. Mako served six hines it was broken. Tidballs can- nonball delivery was a bit more effective, but twice the Australians climbed aboard 1t and cracked through.
 Staleness is the only threat to the Australian pair. Harry Hop man, captpain of the visiting side. said after the match that he wished his boys had not reached their peak

quite so early.
 Both Adrian and Jack are right on top of their games," Hoppman said. "The Davis cup matches are two weeks or more away. I can only hope that they won't go stale, ease off bit, before our main objective is reached"
 Walter Pate, generalissimo of the American side, was surprisingly light-hearted after the Quist- Brom- wich exhibition. He said that the match was not an entirely fair test because, "a doubles team is only as strong as its weakest link"
 Pate didn't say which of the Americans he considered the weak link, but it is probable that he had Tidball in mind, being as he is a staunch defender of Mako. Tid- ball, however, didn't appear any more inept in the face of the Aus tralian fire than did Mako. As a matter of fact, they played pretty good tennis, but ppretty good tennis isn't worth much against the su- perlative sort.

Big Union Labor Parade
At Worlds Fair Opening

New York City (ILNS).-Fifteen
thousand union laborers, members of
unions that have helped build the
worlds fair here, will march in the
parade that opens the fair on April
80. The only reason why there won't
be $4,000 union workers in line, or
pretty nearly any other number, is
that there isn't room for them.
The union list will include everyone
from asbestos workers to waterproof
ers; but the number of all is not yet
settled. The marchers will number
4,3OO painters, 1000 electrical work
ers, 5000 carpenters, 1000 bricklay-
ers, 700 plumbers, $50 local iron
workers.
Military and naval units, veterans
organizations, representatives of the
81 states which are taking part in the
fair and of 60 foreign nations, all
will be in the march. The parade will
start at the Perisphere, and march to
the Court of Peace, where it will have
at least $4,000 spectators.

Silent Picketing Spots
Union People Trading
With Unfair Concern

Vancouver, Wash. (ILNS) "A sys-
tenn of "silent" picketing is proving
so successful in Vancouver that it
may be made permanent feature of
Clarke County Central Labor Council
activities.
Declared unfair to the Vancouver
local of Laundry Workers and Dry
Cleaners, the Economy Cleaning Plant
was made the object of a silent picket
ing campaign. The system calls for a
single person on the picket line whose
sole work lies in identifying union
members trading with the unfair con-
Germ. No placards are carried, and
the picket is in no way identified.
Every union member, regardless of his
affiliation, is fined if found patronizing
the unfair establishment.

Confectionery Plants Cited
For Minimum Wage Evasion

New York City (ILNS). - The
names of 13 confectionery plants in
New York City were published in
legal notices in the newspapers for
failure to pay the wage rates set fo1
women and minors in that industry
under the state minimum wage law
These plants were the first to be cited
for noncompliance with the confec-
tionery wage order, which went into
effect last November.
In publishing these names, Indus
trial Commissioner Frieda S. Miller
acted in accordance with Section $50
Of the minimum wage law. This sec
tion authorizes the publication of
names of non-complying employers in
the newspapers and through other
channels.

THIS ISN'T NEWS!
(Fr0m the United Mine Workers
JOurnaD

The government, through the Social
Security Board, has been delving into
the economic status of the average
workers, and while the boards sum-
ming up isn't news to the workers, it
is worth repeating.
A study by the board shows that GO
per cent Of the deceased workers left
no estates-in other words they died
virtually penniless, That doesn't nee
essarily mean that they were not
thrifty, good workers, or anxious to
provide for their families. 1t means
that the income of the average work
ingman doesn't permit him to set
aside for the proverbial rainy day.
That's what organized labor wishes
to remedy.

Detroit Sets New Low
Mark In Traffic Deaths

Detroit ILNS).-Special policing
of traffic accidents, to find out how,
where and when they are most likely
to occur, has aided Detroit in reducing
traffic fatalities for March, 1899, to
five-the lowest number for any
month in Is years, the International
Association of Chiefs of Police reports.
Detroit's accident prevention bu-
reau, which supervises this "selective
enforcement" of the traffic laws, was
set up in September, 1897. From that
time there has been sharp reduction
in traffic deaths, and in last years
nationwide traffic safety contest the
Michigan city stood third.
March records of traffic fatalities
in Detroit for the last Is years had
