MIDDIES RECEIVE
FINAL pep TALKS

CLEVELAND, Nov. p R-The
Navy footballers, fired-up by re-
ports of dissension in their ranks,
were warned today that they must
not let their feelings come to the
surface in tomorrow's 6 a m e
against Notre Dame in sprawing
Municipal Stadium here.
Capt. C. O. Humphreys, director
of athletics at the Naval Academy,
addressed the Middies:
Look" he told them, I'm on
record as saying you boys haven't
been playing the football OF which
you are capable. I know you are
pretty tense about it. Here's the
things.
'You are not to let that influence
your play tomorrow. Our athletic
relationship with Notre Dame is
something we treasure a great
deal. / want you to remember not
to do anything to damage that re-
lationship."
The captains words possibly
were well spoken, for the sailors
were pretty tight-lipped as they
took their final workout under
Coach Oscar Hagberg at the Sta
dunn today. They looked like a lot
of young men who felt their honor
was at stake. They had seen the
story about how they hadn't beer
pulling together and hadn't realized
their potentialities. One of then
said, very seriously: We've 60

That was why Captain Humph
lreys talked to the lads and cooled
them down.
Coach Hagberg, whose team wa

DAVIS CUP MOCUL

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. - up -
American tennis officials began
scanning the field today for play
ers capable of wrestling the Davis
Cup from Australia as the officials
challenge from the United States
arrived at the office Of the Austral-
ian Lawn Tennis Association in
Melbourne.
The announcement that the first
postwar challenge for the 45-year-
old international trophy had been
received by the country that has
held it since 1899 set off immed.
late speculation here as to the
team that will be selected to try
and bring it back.
Before the net stars of the Unit.
ed States ever reach the final
matches scheduled in Australia in
December, 1916, however, they
must survive a series of prelimi-
nary rounds next spring. But il
would take a colossal upset to
knock the Americans out Of the
running.
The last challenge round was
completed at Merton, Pa, in 1889
when Australia defeated the Unit
ed States, 80.
Great Britain, Australia and the
United States have moncpolized
cup challenge rounds since 1888,
which marked the last time the
tri-color of France was represent
ed in the final round. 1t likely will
! take the players of France and
Great Britain two years to re-
turn to cup form after almost six
years of war.
Walter Pate, captain OF U. S.
cup teams from 1885 through 1889
and presently chairman Of the
USLTA's Davis Cup committee of
management, said frankie Parker
and Bill Talbert must be included
in any guessing on the makeup of
the U. S. team. They've opposed
each other in the finals of the 1914
IS national singles championship
and each time Parker defeated his
,, rival from Wilmington, Del.
! Another pair of likely candidates
is Gardner Mulloy of Coral Gables,
Fla, and Bobby Falkenburg, the
Hollywood, Calf, youngster with
the powerful stroke.
Needed Importantly for cup play
is a strong doubles team to op.
pose the Australian tandem OF
Jack Bromwich and Adrian Quist,
who won their last two challenge
round doubles matches. They also
represented their nation in singles.
It would be heartening for our
cause, Pate said, if the United
States could count on Jack Kramer
and Ted Schroeder, national dou-
bles champions in 1910 and 1941.
Kramer and Parker won the U. S.
doubles in 1913.
1t probably will turn out that
the U. S. will have two Davis
Cup teams-one to play in the
preliminary rounds, and another
for the challenge round. The lat.
ter team will be selected afte.
the 1916 outdoor season ends with
the National Tournament at Forest
Hills.
Great Britain, France, Canada
Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentine
and Ecuador are expected to chal
lenge for the trophy and Pate says
it isn't likely that it will take the
best U. S. performers to beat any
of these countries.
Pate said the United States team
if it gets by the preliminaries-
probably will reach Australia the
latter part of November. Whether
the journey is made by air OF
water, a match will be sought
for the players a week after they
land, he said.

 QUOTES BALDWIN
 Governor Baldwin, in his address to the General Assembly last month, said that, and I quote:
 "'The friendly and whole-hearted cooperation of labor and management and government in Connecticut has given new significance to the word industry" We have really made it mean team work, unity of purpose and effort by labor and management and government." He also said, and again 1 quote:
 "T believe that a sound, workable Labor Relations Act will strengthen and make permanent these excellent relations. Such an Act would deal with employees and employers en- gagged in intra-state industry and business, and should guarantee col lective bargaining and fair and just labor management practices for those who are not now included under any labor-relations law"
 ''Gentlemen, I urge you not to be fooled by any statements that our bill is a 'one-way' street; is One- sided, or is for employees only. Labor wants to continue the splen- did record of achievement in the war production program. We will continue it. We want a sound, workable State Labor Relations Act which will protect those not now covered by any labor relations law. Your committee will help this about by reporting unfavorably on these bills, and bringing in a favorable report on Senate Bill No. l, and House Bill No. 24O."

Would End Control Of Industry, Labor

MIAMI, Fla.-Declaring that the nation has been danger Ously remiss in not taking steps to head off a postwar depression, the AFL executive council has proposed a 7- point program here for the consideration of Congress, government officials and the public.

It proposed universal ac- ceptance by industry of free col lective bargaining with unions to promote industrial peace, and re- mOval of government controls over industry, labor and agricul- lure as early as possible, including the self-imposed obligations of labor in the interest of the war.
 Congress was asked to adopt at once a reconversion program provid' ing for government loans to small business, intelligent disposal of sur plus property, modernization of the social security system and unemploy- ment compensation so temporary and huctuating postwar Unemployment will not cause major depression or plunge the government into more WPA experiments"
 Lifting of hourly wage rates to maintain purchasing power, be- ginning now with the abandon ment of the Little Steel formula, was demanded by the AFL. It also asked a public works program for local, county and state govern ments as we'll as federal agencies and a comprehensive housing pro- gram.

(Continued from Page One) "A LEGAL RIGHT"

Referring to the three bills, Atty. Shannon said that one would limit picketing, and said that there are plenty of limitations on picketing, without adding more. He ridi- culed another provision, which provides that the Superior Court shall handle labor disputes. He pointed out that one bill provides that any unlawful act under a col lective bargaining agreement shall be a criminal offense.
 We want a State Labor Relations Act as a legal right, and not as criminal measure" Shannon said.
 Collins said that "labor is not a guinea pig" and charged that pas sage of any of the three acts under consideration would lead to experi- mentation.
 ''The bill presented by the State Federation of Labor is based on the National Labor Relations Act, and follows the patterns of the New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island State Labor Relations Acts, he said. ''By passing it, the Legis- lature will give us a law that has been tested i'm the courts, and which clearly outlines the rights Ot the employer and the emplOye. Labor relations is no field for ex- perimenting with unknown laws"
 Father Donnelly said that any of the three bills could be called an "anti-labor relations act" and de- scribed some of their provisions as "vicious."
 "If we are going to have an Act, let's have a real one" he said." Labor wants no cluttering amendments; no act with the seeds of anti-labor in it. Let's go forward, not backward"
 NEGROES SEEK HELP
 Reed told the committee that the bill proposed by the Connecticut Federation of Labor would help those in the lowest income groups, and said his people, the Negro people, were watching the bill with especial interest, since they made up large part of this group.
 "We think Senate Bill No. will help the forgotten man, the man who makes little compared to others. My people are large part of those who are forgotten" he said.
