BY the Associated Press.

by Inc AScOCldteO 6IeeS.
Those rampant Cleveland Barons
are the talk Of the American Hockey
League.
They limped into a fading third
place in the Western race of the
league with a casualty list almost
as long as a brides train. There
were so many injuries on the club
that league officials gave the Barons
permission to draw on other teams
for talent in the playoffs.
But the able players and some Of
the injured as well-all with their
good eyes on the promised bonuses
and possible playof prizes that may
aggregate $9,500-rejected all sug-
gestions of assistance
They swarmed through Washing
ton, third-place winner in the East
ern division, in two straight games
and gained the semif1nal round in
which the Powerhouse Bears of
Hershey, Pa, furnish the opposition.
Saturday night the Barons de-
feated the Bears, to 2, in the first
contest
The same night Springfield downed
Indianapo 6 to 3, to take a 2-to-1
lead over the Caps in the class
semifinal.
All four clubs take the ice again
tomorrow night, the Indians and
Caps mixing at Springfield and the
Barons continuing at Hershey their
drive for the playo1 title they won
last year.

one has been just as acceptable
as another.
The most fun has been on the
low waters of the spring tides,
where the big fish were in plain
sight, and so numerous, so that
lure dropped lightly off to one side
would bring a concerted rush ana
an eagerness to take the Offering
that was astonishing.
1t has been said often that seeing
the strike and the hooked fish IN
action doubles the enjoyment. That
probably is the reason why bone
fish and permit are so sought after.
Undoubtedly it makes barracuda
fishing as worth while as possible.
In the shoal waters often 1t Is
difficult to turn them before the
scant $50 yards of light line has
melted off the reel, for deep water
is what the hooked fish appears to
want most. It can be done, for we
have accomplished it many times
in the last three days.
It Sounds Appetizing.
On the sylvia this evening, after
a workingman's dinner of roast beef
and, believe it or not, fresh-baked
lemon chiffon pie as special offer
ing from Ann Hickman, the skip
per's wife, the long-looked-for break
appears imminent. The glass has
dropped and a heavy cloudbank in
the northwest holds the promise OF

will make the long run across the
usually turbulent Boca Grande
Channel, where, providing it is pos
sible, we will try one more day for

W. P. B. Labor Aide
Backs Guthrie on
Wool Blending
Failure to Act Created
Serious Problem, House
Subcommittee Told
BY the Associated Press.


A War Production Board labor
official told House Military Affairs
Subcommittee today that one OF the
most disturbing factors" in the wool
conservation program was the fail
ure to provide for mandatory blend
ing
The committee. investigating the
resignation March IA of Robert R.
Guthrie as head of the w. P. B.
Textile, Clothing and Leather Goods
Branch, was told by Mr.. Guthrie last
week that a reason for his resigna-
ton was failure of w. P. B. officials
to cooperate in his wool conserva-
ton program and to heed his insis-
tence on mandatory wool blending.
Cleon o. Swayzee, w. P. B. labor
division consultant. testified he ia
vored mandatory blending for ci-
william needs to conserve wool for
military uses. but no definite action
on a blending program had been
taken. This failure to act he
described as "one of the most seri-
GUS problems" in the wool program.
Order Called Deficient"
Mr.. Swayzee said he thought the
wool order for the first quarter of
1912 was deficient" in that it failed
to place an overall limit on the
amount of wool to be processed. He
said he also agreed with Mr.. Guth-
rie's contention that the carpet in
dustry should be more fully utilized
in the making of cotton duck.
The witness did not agree with
Mr.. Guthrie's assertion some dollar
a-year men were influenced in their
decisions by their private business
interests, but conceded there may
have been "errors in Judgment"
I've never felt it necessary to
impute motives" he said.

Kilday, Democrat. of
Texas asked if he imputed ANY

Wide Differences Of Opinion.
There are ways Of explaining diff
ferences of opinion wholly aside
from motives" he added, explaining
that there were wide differences OF
opinion on the amounts of wool
that might be available from abroad
and the needs of the armed forces.
He said that he had the highest

lieved he was very conscientious"

Women's Living Costs
Under Study In New
York Annual Survey

New York City ULNS).-The New
York Department of Labor is sending
its representatives into typical New
York Communities to price essential
goods and services, Industrial Commits
SiOner Frieda S. Miller announced here.
This survey is made annually to mea-
sure the cost of living of working
women in New York state.
Experts in the fields of housing,
clothing, medical care, and nutrition
have aided the department in prepar-
ing list of goods and services needed
by women workers for adequate main
tenance and protection of health. With
assistance from retail merchants, real
estate men, professional men, and pub
lie service companies, the labor de-
DartmentS representatives will price
these items in localities where women
wage earners are employed.
Miss Miller pointed out that the de-
partment's coSt-of-living studies are
made in compliance with the New
York Minimum Wage Law Under this
law, wage boards consider current
costs of living in recommending a
minimum wage for women workers in
;ln industry.

Green Tells Legion Convention

American Federation of Labor helped
pave the way for prompt strengthening
of Americas defenses and saved our
nation from becoming an easy prey of
the enemy.
This is true not only of our physi-
cal defenses, but of our psychological
defenses America did not fall victim
to the Fifth Column because organiza-
tionS like the American Legion and the
American Federation of Labor had
helped to make our people aware of
the danger long in advance. When
others hesitated or We're silent, our
organizations spoke out in clarion
tones against any form of totalitarian-
ism and in 100 per cent support OF
American democracy.
Our voices sounded the first clear
warning, our actions constituted the
first real civilian defense against the
menace of those who were inevitably
destined to become our enemies.
THE members of the American
Legion and the American Federation
of Labor think as one and act as one
because we are motiyated by only one
guiding principle - Americanism. We
believe in individual and collective
freedom. we believe in free enterprise.
we believe in justice and in fair play.
That is our creed and not one can ever
tempt us or force us to abandon ii. We
will work and fight and sacrifice to-
gether in defense of this faith, as
friends and brothers and fellow -.Ameri
cans"
Mir. Green said that what frightens
Hitler more than anything else today
is the knowledge that the free workers
of America will outproduce the slave
labor of the Axis forces. He added ::
His slave labor battalions are fall
ing down on the job. That is why he
is being driven to such desperate eXpe-
dients as compelling the puppet Nichy
Government to draft millions of French
men and women for forced labor in
the munitions plants of Germany. l
can tell Hitler now that even such
measures won't produce the goods for
| him. These men and women of France,
who hate Hitler with their last breath,
will not do more than go through the
motions under the whip. But our men
and women are working with their
hearts and souls and no tortures that
Hitler and his lackeys can invent can
compel his slave workers to match our
production achievements"

in Il special report by Paul Edwards,
