Boys Not So Fast,
Track Is Short

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, April A.
Coach P. B. Springer thought
his Benton High trackmen we're
doing mighty fine for this early
in the season.
But he became suspicious after
the half-milers covered the route
in two minutes and the quarter
milers did their stint in 81 sec
onds. Measuring the new layout
he found the track 40 yards
short.

Learn-to.Swim Idea
Is Given BACKING
By Senator Green
Free Swimming Closes
Will Open Tomorrow
At Y. M. c. A. Pools

Advantages of 9 knowing how to
swim from standpoints of enjoy
ment. health and safety were en-
phasized yesterday by Senator
Green of Rhode Island in heartily
indorsing the mems learn-to-swim
campaign under auspices OF the
Central Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION in cooperation with The
Star.
Free Swimming instruction in
connection with the campaign will
begin tomorrow morning in the
pool at the Central "Y," 1885 G
street NV. Meanwhile, the regis
tration deadline has been extended
to noon tomorrow and any man ID
years of age or older may enroll
for the instruction by simply giving
his name and address, either IN
person or by mail, at the "Y' by
that time. All those who already
have registered are urged by R. E.
Myers, membership secretary in
charge of enrollments, to be on
hand for classes tomorrow at the
time assigned them.
Twelfth Street Registration.
Colored men may enroll at the
Twelfth Street Branch of the Y.
M. C. A., 1916 Twelfth street NV,
where they will be taught to swim.
Glasses there also begin tomorrow
and the registration deadline there
likewise has been extended to noon
tomorrow.
In his Endorsement of the cam
paign, Senator Green said:
"Since the younger people have
naturally a desire to learn, would
like to emphasize the Importance OF
people of middle age learning to
swim. Most of them who live here
sbouts get out on the water from
time to time, either down the bay
or else on some of the rivers and
lakes. AS a matter OF life lnsur-
ance they should know how to swim,
80 at least they can keep their heads
above water in case Of accident, I'M
til they can be rescued.
Desirable Form of Exercise.
But quite apart from the ques-
ton of safety, swimming is a most
desirable form of exercise. 1t
brings into play almost all the mus
cles of the body. 1t develops the
lungs and the heart. 1t thus con-
tributes. almost more than any other
form of exercise to making and
keeping the body healthy.
"People should learn to swim not
only as a means of safety in case
of accident, and a method of devel-
oping healthy body, but also as a
real source of enjoyment"

announced that the committee

Of the measure next Tuesday, and
some members expressed belief it
would be ready for House considera-
ton by the end of next week.

vented by illness from appearing
before the committee, wrote that he
favored the objectives of the admin

obviously. some form OF price reg
ulation is necessary if We are to
avoid further imitation" his letter

be made to prevent serious imitation.
and the bill. if enacted, should be so
comprehensive in character as to af-
feet the many factors that go to
make up the cost of such articles
as will require price regulation"
He said. however, that no pro-
ducer or dealer should be required
to sell his product at less than "a
fair cost" after compensation for
labor material and other factors,
including a living profit, had been
paid.
"On the other hand" he said. I'VE

that o. P. M. was engaged in IAN
unlawful conspiracy" with the A.
r. L.. after Sidney Hillman, CO.
director of o. P M. again had de-
Tended a stabilization agreement
with A. F. L. building construction
unions.
Mr.. Hillman asserted that c. I.
o. contract signed by the P. j. Cur
rier Lumber Co.. low bidder on a
Wayne (MichD housing project, was
not bona fide labor agreement and
was adopted for some ulterior pur-
pose"
A. D. Lewis, brother of Presi-
dent John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers, charged that Mr..
Hillman's Office was being used as "a
recruiting agency for the A. F. L. in
connection with defense projects as
he condemned the failure of the
Government to award the Currier
company the Michigan contract on
its bid, which the company claimed
was s431 900 below the next best
offer.
Charges Conspiracy.
He said the Office of Production
Management was engaged In an
unlawful conspiracy to use the
powers of Government on behalf of
one branch of labor against an
other" He said the agreement as
sured a closed shop agreement for
the A. F. L. on all Government de-
fense construction projects
Senator Brewster, Republican. of
Maine earlier had protested that
Mr.. Hillman was exercising dan
gerous powers" by advising against
the award to the Currier Co. He
said he would urge immediate award
of the contract despite Mr.. Hillman''s
testimony he feared civil war" in
Detroit labor ranks if that were
done.
Failure to award the contract to
the Currier Co., Mr.. Lewis said. lis
the rankeSt sort of discrimination
against any one who refuses to pay
tribute to the building trades unions
of the A. F. L."
Mr.. Lewis declared that Mr.. Hill
mans office not only was discrimi-
mating against workers who chose
the C. I. o. union of their own free
Will, but was intervening directly
with contracting agencies of the
Government Ito enforce A. F. L. de-
mands to the detriment of other
unions"
Calls Contract Unusual"
Mr.. Hillman charged that the
Currier Co. had been anti-union in
its policies for years and suddenly
had signed ar unusual" five-year
contract with the United Construc-
ton Workers Organizing Commit
tee, C. l. o. affiliate, which Mr..
Hillman charged was engaged in at
tempts to raid American Federation
OF Labor unions in the housing field.
Senator Brewster asked Mr.. Hill
man whether he had investigated
the wage rates involved in the con-
tract, which, Senator Brewster said,
were Is per cent higher than similar
pay received by A. F. L. union men.
When Mr.. Hillman replied that
he had not, Senator Brewster OBJ
