Long Prairie
Meets H. s.
Here Friday

Two brand new opponents face
the Main Streeters in the next
weeks billing as the club, after it's
Osakis joust, began looking toward
more frequent district games. For
the week it's Long Prairie and Mel
rose.
Friday evening, January 18th,
Long Prairie invades the local
precinct in the first meeting
this year between the schools.
The game Is at 8:15 with a
preliminary card set for 700.
From Long Prairie's Mcleod
boys you can depend on two things.
One that Long Prairie will always
play one of the fastest types of
ball in the district; and two at
their very worst are hard to beat.
If Long Prairie has changed two
year from it's usual race horse
style, then the Siminski influence,
felt for so many years in the dis
trict, is absented itself. This Sim
inski influence has been one of the
most endangering practices in the
entire district, for more than often
Long Prairie has left the district
race as the team that might have.
The cher game is with Melrose.
Played at Melrose next Tuesday
evening, the game may revive some
singing memories for Sank Cen
ire, may instill satisfied smiles for
Melrose. For last meeting of the
two schools in basketball ended in
Sank Centres rout in the sub-dis-
trict meet of a year ago when Mel
rose humbled the local club, held
them to a point scoring tally.

kiOs Fever Game
Tops Bernie Win

A lead of 129 pins in a third
game rally, that brought three OF
the team over the 400-pin mark
brought victory to Bernie's Orange
ade ladies team with 1897 pins tot.
al over st. Cloud Pepsi-Cola club
1906 in an inter-company exhibition
match here Sunday.
Leading the way In that
third game rally-that came af-
ter the Bernie's team dropped
20 points in the second-was
Gladys Kjos' 1872 pin "feverish"
game that was more real than
figurative. For she actually
played with a slight tempera-
ture that afternoon.
Highest three game team total
for the match was rung by St
Clouds H. Kruger with 439 pins
Ann Dybdal held second in the
three games with 433 pin total
Nellie Robertson, with the second
high single game score of 172 pins
hit 423 pins. Gladys Kjos' total
was 429.
Running lead in the first game
Bernie's club hit $50 game to lead
st. Clouds GOT. st. Cloud ate il
up and then some in the second
topping the local club by 70 pins
$50 to 620. A 1888 game for the
Sank Centre team in the third
while st. Cloud dropped to 600, gave
the locals 81 pin lead to win.

There were certain aspects of
that Osakis game that were heart
ening. But not until the two
games next are over can round
ed picture be taken of this district.
It's Long Prairie and Melrose
next. And in these clubs, provid-
ing coaching methods haven't
changed styles of play, Sank Cen
tire will meet exact opposites. -.
Long Prairie, is fast, fast breaks,
plays race horse style, may toss
passes from any part of the court,
plays for the breaks. Melrose,
at least last year, depended more
on a set play basis, makes its
breaks, plays a deliberate style of
ball that so exasperated a last
years S. c. club that it took only
6 points in the entire game. .

Bloc in House
Rises TO Fight
Labor Bills
BY GRIFFING BANCROFT
InrI News service stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. De-
claring that President Roosevelt
will veto any anti-strike legisla-
ton that is too drastic" a bloc
of liberal northern Democrats to-
day launched an eleventh-hour
fight against a batch of far
reaching labor bills.
The move came as the lower
chamber rapidly nearing show
down on the controversial matter,
was called into session an hour
earlier than usual, with leaders
pressing for a final vote by to-
morrow night.
Even members of this bloc con-
coded privately, however, that
they see small chance of STEM
ming the ever-growing tide in
favor of an anti-strike measure
with teeth in il.
Most members predicted pas
sage in some form of the plan
approved by the House labor COM
n4ittee which calls for a 60-day
cooling off period before strikes.
during which the mediation board
would attempt 90 settle disputes
by peaceful means.
Three members. however. have
given Hatlce- they Mill- seek votes
on more drastic measures. One
of these, Representative Smith
CD Of Virginia, introduced a new
bill last night calling for regis
tration OF all labor unions, no
strikes except on 36-day notice,
and then only after secret bal
lot election, and no mass picketing.
In addition, Representative Vim
sor Cd Of Georgia. has n measure
calling for compulsory arbitration.
and Representative Waiter Cd of
Pennsylvania. has one 10 give fed
eral courts the power 10 stop
strikes.
\ The Senate labor committee.
meanwhile. approved a measure!
by Senator Ball JRJ of Minnesota.
banning strikes for closed or
union shops and calling for 30
day waiting period before walk
outs.

OIL TRUST
MOVES in

Co-ops Demand Representa-

Heavy Oar in OPM.

WASHINGTON d. c. Oil-black
gold-has tainted every administra-
ton in Washington during the last
25 years.
Oil, through one of the four most
effective Hobbies, is taking a dominant
position now as the national defense
Juror offers a cloak of immunity
Oil now has its Robert e. Wilson
OF Standard of Indiana in charge of
oil matters for OPM and thus Wilson
has become the voice of the govern
ment before Congressional commit
tees and on public rostrums. In the
Maritime Commission, where trans
portation of oil by sea is an import
ant question, M. w. Bowen, formerly
of Socony Vacuum, has become the
assistant director of tanker opera
lions. When the House committee on
rules was about to report favorably
John NJ Coffee's reso-
luton for an investigation of mystic
rious shipments of oil by Standard of

by Standard of New Jersey and Du
Points.
Harold l.. Ickes, secretary of inte-
rior, and now oil car as "co-ordina-
tor" under an order by President
Roosevelt, is about to set up an oil
advisory committee. The co-opera-
tives have formally asked for recog-
milton on the committee and Senator
Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin
has urged Ickes to see that a co-opera-
tor is appointed. 1t is possible that
consumers may thus have some rep
resentation in Washington but the CO.
operative representative is going to
have tough job even if he is named,
| because it is certain that the oil trust
will be adequately represented ON any
and all committees.
The oil trust just won another fight
in the House. The government has
sponsored legislation to build pipe
lines. Through this legislation Con-
gresham Coffee said the oil trust was
getting something it had wanted for
~ y0oi ., tlC duluOlllJ VI government
to override the powers of states If
the oil trust cannot finance the pipe
lines, the government will do so. All
that Congressman Coffee, Voorhis,
lac and Thomas Ford of California,
Meyers of Maryland, Oliver of Maine
and White of Idaho asked was that
pipe lines financed by the government
might be owned and operated by the
government but Congressman Cole of
Maryland, Lea of California and VOL
verton of New Jersey beat down their
efforts. Less than 100 members of
the House participated in this vital
