Labor Standards
on Public Works
Must Be Upheld
BrickluYers' Head Says New
Bill Would Result In
Wdsteful Program

Washington, D. C.-Harry C. Bates,
chairman Of the Housing Committee
of the American Federation of Labor,
told the House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds that H. r.
1870 appears to assume that public
work cease to be public works when
they are undertaken in connection
with national defense activities. Or
ganized labor does not agree with this
view, Mr.. Bates declared emphatically.
''This bill proposes to repeal all
standards and requirements Congress
has developed and made applicable to
federal-aided public works and sub
stitutes for them such directions
regulations terms and conditions as
may be prescribed by the President" }"
the A. F. of l.. spokesman testified.
"In other words, the bill proposes
to scrap completely all standards pre-
viously developed through experience
and embodied in statute as the su-
preme expression of inviolate public
policy and to substitute for them new
and unknown standards yet to be
hastily thrown together and submit
ted to the President for quick pro-
mitigation by, any Of the large num-
Der of agencies which may take part
in the program.
Mr.. Bates, who is president of the
Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers In
ternational Union, said the A. F. of
l.. is "well aware of the urgency of
the need for public works." to sup
plement defense activities, but as
serted that H. r. 3570, as it now
stands, would result in "a defective
and wasteful program"
He urged that the bill be revised
as follows:
l. Specific and unequivocal require
ment for the maintenance of prevail
ing labor seandxfs1ss =
2. Administrative framework plac-
ing the responsibility for such public
works program with the Federal
Works Administrator, subject to the
approval of the President.
8. A provision assuring standards
of sound and permanent construction
and of planning designed to achieve
the maximum usefulness of each prof
ect to the community at the end of
the emergency.
d. Provided these conditions are
met, an increase in authorization to
$500, 100000.

New York, April 2l. (UP)-Con- stant dripping of water wears away stone, the mills of the gods grind slowly, so here In this year of grace, 194i, the West Side Tennis Club an nounces 1t will sponsor a tourna- ment for professionals.
 High time, If you ask me, which nobody aid. The West Side Tennis Club, better known to fans as Forest Hills, has taken a step after all these years that logically should lead to an open national championship with the amateurs and professionals fighting 1t out just as they do in golf. An open championship should be the greatest attraction tennis has to offer, the gates should pick up and there could be good piece of cash for the winner if he is a pro and a nice big cup for an am- ateur If he comes out on top.
 Indifferent
 Amateur tennis, 1t seems to rae, has always been indifferent to the showmanship that helps make any athletic contest better spectacle. There has been plenty of color on amateur tennis courts but 1t has been furnished voluntarily by the players and not by the tournament committee of the United States

 LEAGUE PLANNED
Five Teams Ready to Play
 With More Expected This Week

Another baseball league will in all probability be added to the local sports program within the next ten days as a result of a meeting of in- terested Catholic Youth organiza- tions at Immaculate Conception hall. An encouraging response of five teams from different parishes ans- wered Rev. Phillip Hussey's call for organization, and 1t is quite possible that one or more other parishes will join at the next meeting of the group Thursday night.
 St. Francis, Sts. Peter and Paul, St. Lucy's, Immaculate Conception, and St. Michaels sent representa- tives to the session and indicated that they desired to secure fran- chises in the proposed new circuit. As soon as six or eight teams are secured, more definite plans will be announced.
 The league will play twilight ball in the city parks. Eligibility require ments are that the teams use only players who are members of their respective parishes and that player must not have exceeded his 18th birthday by July 1st. It is planned to get the league underway during the week of May llth.
 Invitations to join the league are also extended to Blessed Sacrament, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Thomas St. Joseph, Our Lady of Mount Car mel, St. Patricks, St. Stanislaus, Sacred Heart, St. Margarets, and St, Mary Magdalen's of Oakville to ap- ply for the other three franchises The league will positively be limited to eight teams.

 But Terrier says the chap whom he suspects mailed bis book to the U. s. G. A. actually did him good turn unknowlingiy. He would like to ascertain his identity, so he could thank him for 1t.
 Terrier turned professional, be- came associated with leading manufacturing concern and has just hooked up with the Elmhurst Coun- try club, but of Chicago.
 The club Is owned by Fred Snite father of the boy in the iron lung.
 Snite invested $35,000 in the course, Sl5,000 in the clubhouse and pains to spend $45,000 more on the course, which is the site of the Chicago Open, July 1921.
 Terrier is among the thousands who marvel at the spirit of Fred Snite, Jr. Despite his affliction young Snite is a rabid fan for all SC rts. He attends football and base ball games, tennis matches, play bridge and the races, giving what ever winnings there re to charity.
