"As for the Puget Sound Util-

Committee, It has q history not
nearly as impressive as its high
sounding name. ~:
'This committee came into exis-
tence in 1910, collected $50, 900
from various PUD treasures, and
then resigned in 1914, without, 50
far as we have been able to find,
ever making an accounting to the
public for the $35, 900. At least
$4,000 Of this amount came out
Of tax monies, for this Is the
amount collected from PUBS
which have never gone into the
electric business, and which have
no other source of revenue ex-
cept levies on the taxpayers.
ITO sum it up, the PUBS have
taken more than 100000 from
the taxpayers Of Washington.
They have paid fees to lawyers Of
nearly 100000, fees to engineers
totaling almost another 100000,
they have subsidized a propaganda
organization to the tune Of $4,000
and propose to endow it with a
budget Of $4,000 next year, they
have paid a negotiating commit
tee $4,000 apparently without
buying anything. I'll
ION top Of this, many Of the
leaders in the campaign for Refer
endum rs are among the leading
recipients Of these PUD bounties.
"There is no requirement of &C
counting to state authorities by
the. outside organization set up by
the PUBS, for the public funds
they have received and spent.
"Altogether, $s24,O00 has been
paid out in fees, more than half of
it by PUBS which have never gone
into the electric business. For
what? It would probably take
another battery Of lawyers and
engineers to answer that question.
IF ever there was a need for
an investigation Of the use of pub
lie funds, this is it: In the end, if
the power politicians should sue
coed in unloading Referendum Is
on the voters, we can expect still
more of this kind of thing, for
then there will be more than
$200, 900, 900 worth Of property for
the lawyers to litigate, the engi-
neers to engineer, and the re-
search organization to put out
propaganda about"

We, of the I.B.E.W., stand to

ish. Should this measure receive
q majority at the polls, the future
Of organized labor in this State
will be definitely threatened. The
fundamental rights for which
American Labor throughout its
history have fought, and which
today are recognized by the law
Of this land, would be definitely
lost by 1000 electric utility en-

ploy of the private power COM

The public should know that in
the event that Joint Commissions
and Authorities under Referen-
dunn Is are successful in acquir-
ing the private power companies
of this state, the employees would
lose their COLLECTIVE BAR
GAINING rights guaranteed by

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5. (UP) -
Claude A. Watson, prohibition party
candidate for president who a few
years ago was denied airplane-
travel priority for his political cam
paign, also will have to get along
without a new car, the office of
price administration ruled Wednes-
day.
Watson told his Highland Park,
Cal, ration board he already owns
1912 car with $4,000 miles on its
speedometer and a 1888 model with
mileage of $4,000, but said he
wanted to trade the 1888 model in
on another new 1912 auto.
The new vehicle was needed spe-
officially for his presidential cam
paign, Watson said.
District OPA auto ration chief
o. K. Collins, to whom the applica-
ton was referred, said Watson was
not entitled to a new car, what
ever its purpose.
There is nothing in the regula-
tions to prevent his getting a used
car, but the rules are clear on his
right to buy a new one" Collins
said.

War PIons Meet

NEW YORK, Jan. 4. CUP)-One
OF the most important meetings in
baseball history will be held some
time this month-probably about
the 18th at Chicago-When the
postwar planning committees of
the major and minor leagues con-
Vene for the first time to consider
the games future set-up.
Commissioner KenesaW M. Lands
will announce the date and site for
the huddle in day or SO.
Chief items on the agenda will be !:
ID Procedure of return to the game
for players now in the armed serv-
ices, and 90 Reorganization of
the minor leagues.
Machinery must be set up soon
to handle returning service players
some of whom already are trickling
back because Of physical disabilities
How can the sport best absorb them
after demobilization? Shall the cur
rent major league player limit OF
25 and reserve list of 40 be increased
for a period after rehabilitation
And shall a player automatically
become a free agent if he gets nc
action from his club within a reas-
enable period after discharge OF
rehabilitation?
The minor leagues, which now
comprise nine operating circuits
and 16 inactive circuits, will be ex-
panded vastly after the war. But
upon what basis in regard to farm
systems? That is one of the game.

Navy Identifies
Sunk Destroyers

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. up
Two destro"ers previously announc-
ed as sunk were identified by the
navy Wednesday as the new 1,70O
U. S. S. Turner and the old four
stacker Leary.
Identification Of the two ships
had been withheld to permit the
navy to notify the next of kin of
the casualties.
The Turner exploded and sank
at the entrance to New York Har-
Dor Monday. The Leary, whose loss
also was announced Monday, was
torpedoed and sunk in the Atlantic
on Christmas Eve.
The number of casualties in the
two sinkings is still undisclosed
although as many as rs lives may
have been lost on the Turner. The
Navy said total of 152 enlisted
men and two officers survived out
of a normal complement usually
about 230 men.

biggest postwar problems. Lands
and some of the major league club
owners are opposed to extensive
chain-store systems. But several
clubs, like the Cardinals, Dodgers
and Yankees favor widespread plan
tation activities. Opponents of ram
flied ranching insist that major
league ownership of minor clubs
(and sometimes even working agree
ments) destroys the sense of indie
pendence and fan loyalty in the
minor circuit cities involved. They
demand local ownership and indie
pendent operation of minor clubs
as a basis for postwar expansion
Torrid debate over this issue is eX-
