MURRAY ASSAILS
FORMULA FOR PAY
By JOSEPH A, LOTUS

WASHINGTON, March 24.-RH
The CLIO United Steel Workers set
out today to blaze a new trail in
labor economics with demands for
17-cent hourl. wage increase re-
CARELESS of government wage cell
ings, guaranteed postwar 40-hour
week or annual wage, a joint fund
for steel workers returning from
the armed services and nearly a
dozen other concessions.
Philip Murray, Sapre and Gray
president Of the steel workers,
spearheaded his unions case be-
fore War Labor Board panel.
He denounced the little steel
wage formula for what he termed
obvious, practical unworkability,"
contended corporations and the
farmers have been guaranteed
minimum incomes, and shot barbs
at 'the fat boys" of the steel in
dustry for their "audacity" in try
ing to keep the steel workers
wage case from the War Labor
Board.
Murray spoke for two hours and
ten minutes to the six-man panel,
lawyers for "a steel companies,
and his union policy committee of
nearly 100. The companies will be-
gin their presentation April II.
"You," said the union chief,
turning to the industry spokesman.
have got to do little more con-
structive thinking about giving
people in the United States of
America jobs after this war
is over than you have ever done
in all your lives. The present sit
uation and the situation which
may develop after the war, Gre
ate conditions that challenge your
ingenuity.
1T is your responsibility. And
you cannot laugh at a workers de-
mands that you give to him a
guaranteed income in order that
he may live and may have sus-
tenance for both his wife and his
family.
"You are no longer little cor
porations whose interests are CEN
tered in the payment of dividends
to stockholders. You have great
er public interest, and that is the
interests that run directly to all
of the people employed by you,
to provide full employment for
them"
Murray said there is mo single
thing that can contribute more
to the national well being, and
that will do more to stimulate
productivity, and guarantee en-
ployment' than guaranteed week.
ly wage or annual income for the
steel workers.
'The farmers have been guaran-
teed it," he urged. Who else
in the United States has the
guarantee of an annual income?

from any other board that such a
change in the rules be made"
In suggesting the proposal, Mac
MILAN pointed out that prospects
are the March 81 inventory will
exceed sales of the month to date.
A total of 2, 688 cases were on hand
on that date and receipts of March
81 will total 1890, making a total
available for the ten-day period of
1888 cases.
"Sales here are slow and de-
creasing as coupons become ex-
hausted," Macmillan said.
1T is advisable to allow the pub
lie to buy before the new federal
tax becomes effective on April l.
This will not only mean a saving
to the purchaser but will also re-
duce our investment in certain
brands" he asserted.
MACMILLAN suggested authorlZa-
ton of the sale of one fifth or one
quart upon presentation of the ra-
ton book from which March cou-
pons have been exhausted. He pro-
posed as a means of marking the
book, to prevent continuous reus\.
the punching OF the back cover OF
"some similar plan" such as using
the last coupon
Such a plan, he said, should be
placed into effect March Is.
Macmillan said his action was
taken solely in the interest of the
public. Many citizens, he added,
have requested that some steps be
taken to prevent payment of a tax
on goods now in the stores but
which cannot be sold because of
the stringent rat;oning.
Last month the liquor ration was
one pint per ticket but on March
l it was reduced to half a pint
per ticket.

out to the Yankees in bitter
stretch drive. That club was a
bunch of baseball quizz experts if
there evez: was one, fairly drool-
ing with brains
In addition to Mack, the roster
showed Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins,
iris Speaker, Mickey Cochrane
and Jimmy Dykes, all Of whom
were or became managers; Wal
ter French, later coach at West
Point, and Eddie Rommel, who be-
came an American league umpire,
and no cracks, please, about such
job requiring a seeing-eye dog
rather than superior mentality.
Oddly enough. the Yankees in
the past two decades when they
were making a necklace Of cham
pionships, didn't turn out many
managers, a situation indicating it
doesn't take much brains to be a
ball player, or that the Yankees
were so well paid that when they
finished their active playing ca
reers they could afford to drop out
Of the game
It's admitted that slamming a
ball over a fence or making a
circus catch isn't necessarily the
result of great mental power or
leadership, and that some of our
smartest baseball men were more
or less ham and egg players Joe
Mccarthy never even made the
majors, and Bill McKechnie bob
bed up and down between the ma
iors and minors over long period.
But it also is admitted brains
aren't necessarily a handicap to

is smarter than his manager and
starts to give his own signs, in
which case he will be signed off
in hurry. The only signs a man.

GOLF CLUBS NEEDED

The 5th and Orange streets USO
has issued an appeal for golf
clubs, to be used by servicemen
and women, from any persons who
have golf clubs that are not being
used nor apt to be used for some
indefinite time.
There are many calls for golf
clubs by service folks, particular
ly over the week-ends. Perhaps
clubs owned by some son or
daughter who is now overseas
could be put to use.
The greatest care will be given
to the clubs and later they will be
returned to their rightful owners.
Anyone willing to make this pa
triotic loan please phone 2-1269.

VOYLES ACCEPTS
AUBURN VACANCY
Quits William And Mary To
Accept Coaching Job
AT Auburn

AUBURN, Ala, March 24.-R-
The Auburn Tigers, longtime giant
killer of intercollegiate football
will return to the gridiron next
autumn under new coach and
athletic director, Carl M. Voyles.
Succeeding Lieut.. Comdr. Jack
Meagher, who entered naval ser.
vice at the conclusion of the 1912
season, Voyles comes to Auburn
from the College Of William and
Mary under a six-year contract
Salary terms were not disclosed.
Announcement of Voyle's resig.
nation from William and Mary
and his appointment at Auburn
came almost simultaneously from
DR.. John E. Pomfret, president OF
w. & NJ, and DR.. L. N. Duncan,
president of Alabama Polytechnic
Institute. DR.. Pomfret commented
that W. & M. had lost IAN undeni.
ably great COACH" and added
The alumni will long remember
him as the miracle man who
brought the college from football
doldrums to conference cham
pionship in four years.
Auburn's reputation for giant
killing dates back to 1917, when
Ohio State came south to display
its famous halfback, Chic Harley,
before Ohio soldiers then training
at Montgomery, Ala. Ohio State
was a prohibitive favorite, but the
game ended 90.
AT least two bowl games have
gone into post-season games with
Auburn as the only blemish on
their schedules. Mississippi State
1910 team, which went to the Or
ange bowl, was tied TT when Au-
burn drove 80-yards in the closing
seconds to score. Georgia headed
for the Rose Bowl where it even.
tually defeated U. C. L. A.. was
stunned and defeated, 27-13, by Au-
burn in 1912.
Prospects for 1914 are uncer-
tain. Only Curtis Kuykendall, re-
serve halfback, remains from the
1912 squad. Voyles is expected to
play 17-year-olds and 4-F's.
At William & Mary, Voyle's
teams won 20, lost seven and tied
three in four seasons.
DR.. Pomfret said today in an
nouncing the resignation of Voyles
at w. & NJ, that the Athletic Com
mittee of the Board of Visitors
had offered him a five-year con-
tract and assured him of continued
cooperation.
"Those of us who have worked
with him here will remember him
as the man who could be counted
upon to undertake any task no
matter how difficult" he added.
when the war blotted out foot
ball on this campus, Mr. Voyles
undertook with characteristic thor
oughness the job of getting 500
army boys into tip-top shape. He
turned a coaching staff into a first
rate conditioning staff in a few
weeks"
At Williamsburg, Voyles issued
a statement in which he said:
Xxx feel l owe it to myself.

accept the position at larger
school that offers greater POSSIBLE
tiles in athletics and physical ed
ucation.
''The war has interrupted ath-
letic programs all over the coun-
try, particularly in small colleges
such as William and Mary. How
ever, we should all think of the fl.
ture and keep our sports alive and
get ready for the postwar period. :"
