Grand Mercantile
 League

In one of the most surprising re- versals of form, the teams in the lower bracket came to life and gave the three leading teams the scare of their bowling careers. Canal Lunch ran true to Jimmy Trlbunes prediction and beat the Town Tav- ern Five games. The Hotel Ei- ton Boys gave the Frand Five a merry battle and when the smoke cleared the Grand Boys were very Lucky as corners and they managed to win one game from the Kiesel Boys who thought they had a pie nic and freely predicted that the Monarcheers wouldn't win a game.
 A few new faces appeared in the league this week and the new men showed plenty of strength and the leaders will have to work to win the odd game from now on. The Mon- arch boys showed Daisy Barbieri'' to advantage and Tar Qaglione, Butsey Butler, Angie Ex-Prez Rinal- al, Count Conte and Qyro 0eaney will have to hustle in order to hold their positions. These boys sure talked the Kiesel Boys out of e few pins. "
 The Kiesel Boys were very thank. full that they meet the Insurance boys but once in five weeks. Bosox Jasilunas, Sad Face Herman, Hand- some Kiesel, Goose Reihl and Ima Star Schnitzel were in top form.
 The town Tavern boys missed the services of Mike Dundee their popu. lar fourta1 position man who is one on the injured list and the boys are roofing for Mike to make an early return. Tn the meantime his brother Johnny will bowl in his place. Pumpkins Perazella, Roamer Rovero, Little Pony Grazio and No. 180 A. F. o. L. Rocco Palomba were bit off form and the result was a two game loss.
 The Canal Lunch Boys showed plenty of class and there are strong rumors around that they have sign- ed Rocky Ferraro to roll the rec mairder of the season. Rocky as you fellows know Is e standout bowl CT and should strengthen the team considerably. Pop Manzo, Casanova Maps, Motorcycle Greece and Hoo- chy Cuicci comprise Q very strong team and from now on will be lead- ing contenders for first place.
 The Hotel Elton Boys have signed up Wolf Colangelo one of the 1tal- ian Recreation Leagues best bowlers and when Johnny Metz gets back in the harness you will find here an aggregation of star bowiers who will win more games iii two weeks than the original week won in 13. JiTn- my Tribune their mainstay hes been praCticing faithfully each night and is always irl condition. Handy Andy Manzo, Johnny LucewicE, Paul Tu-

 Modest Mike
 When Promoter Mike Jacobs re- turned to his home in Rumson, N. J., early today, after @ sky.chariot trip from Miami, he said, i've been given a proposition TOT a fight in Miami. We'll probably decide about 1t today" Mike declined to dis- cuss the proposition with reporters, but 1t was believed to concern a Sunday afteriioon bout in Miami probably with Billy Conn defending his light heavyweight title against the winner of the Feb. 9 return match between Fred Apostoli and Melio Bettii1a. Because of the Mi- ami night life and night dog races Mike insists upon @ Sunday after noon date.
 Meanwhile, the New York com mission which last week approved. a l5-round 0alento-Baer heavyweight brawl for Madison Square Garden, and then threw e monkey wrench into the scrap by refusing Ga- lento's manager, Joe Jacobs, Q H. cense as second or manager was expected to reconsider Joe's case Pilot Joe has announced that Ga" lento will not fight in New York state unless he gets both licenses This bout, set tentatively for March 22, is for the Finnish relief fund Hence the three fistic fathers have been subjected to considerable pres- sure during the past week. If the commission again refuses Joe his licenses, the bout may be shifted to Philadelphia, Atlantic City or Newark.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION
By |. M. OR.


Secretary-Treasurer, Union Label Trades Depart
ment, A. F. of L.
SUDDENLY, a certain Mr.. Merchant awakened
~ on January 1, 1910. After he had taken his
mendously his sales had fallen during the past
year What was the cause of this? All he knew
was the serious effect on his business.
Just then Bill Worker, union man, dropped
in to wish his old friend, the merchant, the usual
'happy and prosperous New Year" In reply, Mr.
Merchant asked Bill to tell him what was wrong
with his business. He wanted to know why Mr..
Worker and hundreds Of other union men in the
vicinity had not been patronizng him. Bill had
the answer. He said, ITS because you do not sell
union label merchandise and you do not use union
services" Bill had the answer and gave it. None
of the merchants other friends had had the nerve
to tell him the truth
In America there are thousands of business
men like Mr. Merchant and there are millions OF
union men who are union label-cOnSciOuS like Bill
Worker Other merchants of this type will have
"a rude awakening some day because members OF
labor unions, their families and friends are de-
termned to retaiate against unfair manufactul-
ers and to boycott every firm that sells non-unlon
goods
When merchants learn to demand the union
label Of industries that do not place it on their
wares-then both the manufacturers and mer-
chandisers will fare far better. In fact they will
fail if they do not recognize this growing demand
for union label goods by militant army of con
sumner crusaders who know that collective buying
is as formidable weapon as strike against un-
fair employers.
How much better it would be for employers if
the millions of dollars used for propaganda against
labor unions for espionage and spy systems in Ia
Dor organizations and for worthless company
unions were spent in promoting the sale of union
made goods of American workers.
Some business men are beginning to realize
this fact and are cooperating with A. f. of L.
unions. If the rest of them insist on opposing
unions let us continue to educate all consumers tC
buy only union label goods and use only union ser
vices. Then, despite this opposition, shall save
America.
We shall see labor unions grow, wages increase
and conditions improve if all of us will take this
simple pledge in 1910:
81 promise to patronize only those firms
that display the Union Label, Shop Card
Service Button"

LAW VIOLATION-NOT CIVIL RIGHTS
TNVOJV WE'D

THE leader of the Communist Party in this
country, as the result Of recent public rev.
|eatons, has been disclosed as the head of for
leigh controlled foreign financed movement, to
|change the organization of society and government
lin this country. He was linked with the violations
Iof passport procedure by which the foreign con-
|trol of the party was disguised. The complete
ruthlessness and disregard of moral scruples with
which the foreign head of it's international organ
lizatiOn has functiOned is a matter OF record.
When the authorities of one of our foremost
cancelled an engagement for lecture
Iby the head of the Communist Party in the United
Estates to the students of the University, there
lcame storm of protests from the sentimentalists
land the professional liberals. The Communists
Joined with the charge that their leader de-
lnied his civil rights. Another university took ul
the battle and extended invitation to the COM
|munist proponent.
While as matter of principle academic free
dom should be assured in all universities, this prin
Iciple should not be perverted into putting the
prestige of institutions of learning in support OF
Those scheming to overthrow our free institutions
land charged with violation of federal law which
lis no way interfered with personal principle OF
|conviction. A withdrawal Of invitation to per
son accused of breaking Federal passport regula-
|tiOns involves no element of academic freedom OF
denial of civil rights, only a wholesome condemn
|ation of those violating laws enacted IN the public
Interests. If the students want to know the pur:
|p0ses and methods of communism, there is now nc
|obscurity about communism or It's procedures. Inc
record of performance in this country as well as
lin Russia is available to any student.
Our sentmentalists and friends of intellectual
freedom must learn that the price of freedom is
responsible living, with ability to distinguish be-
tween the rights of free citizens and special prlv
Ilege While the freedom of the university to dis
cuss the relative merits of democracy, communism
and forms of autocracy may well be safeguarded
lit is quite another matter for universities to pro
vide status for those engaged in work subversive
Ito our institutions.

GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION OF
ESTATES

ONE Of the important functions of the Govern
" ment Of New Zealand is the administration of
estates based practically on the cost of the ser
by private administrators.
The department Of the Government which
performs this function is called the Public Trust
Office the manager of which carries the title of
Public Trustee.
During the last fiscal year. the Public Trustee
accepted for administration estates with value
Of 1854 pounds Approximately 1922 910).
The Public Trustee reported that on March 81
1889, the estate and funds administered by him
totaled 6l,715,7l3, and that the new business for
the five months ended August 81, was 2,46S, ,8O7
pounds.
The total number Of wills now held in the Pub
lie Trust Office on behalf of living persons is 81 >
538.
II is interesting to note that the Public Trust
Office functions on voluntary basis 1t docs not
have a monopoly Of administering wills. Persons
concerned permitted to select either the Public
Trust Office a private party to administer
estates, subject to the approval Of the appropriate
court.
The report stated that for the last month un
der consideration 342 new wills appointing the
Public Trustee executor were prepared on beha
of testators and lodged for safe custody and SO
existing wills were revised to provide for changes
desired by testators.
In notice calling attention to brochure de

ICkES SEES DANGER

Washington, d. C. GLNS).-Secre-
tary of the Interior Ickes warned
President Roosevelt that efforts may
be made to raid national resources and
break down conservation programs IN
an attempt to reap quick profit.
Ickes, reviewing Interior Depart
ment activities for the year, declared
that:
cat this moment the greatest
actual or potential danger with which
we are faced are attempts to break
through our conservation laws and
policies for the purpose of making
quick war profits"
He cited evidence of an inclination
to raid our resources" but declared
that thus far no specific movement
had developed.

AN ENCOURAGING TREND

a MERICANS are TeVlVlng The custom OF pubic
discussion. Stanley High is quoted say
ling there were 100000 public discussion groups
lin the country last year. There are probably more
now. Discussion of domestic and foreign issues is
going on in public forums, radio debates, group
gatherings, in old fashioned town meetings"
Growth of public discussion is an encouraging
trend. 1t shows we want to hear both sides and
are intent on learning what's what. The more
open discussion, the better. The propagandist, of
course, isn't any too enthusiastic about full and
free discussion, as he wants only one side pre-
sented. Presentation of both sides isn't any too
good for him. But what is not good for the prop
Iagandist is good for the people.
Public discussion, where both sides Of contro-
Iversal questions can be set forth is democratic
device and makes for better democracy. Organ
lied labor has always stood for the right of free
discussion and is in full sympathy with every
move to increase its popularity
