Manchester Wins Over Blues @

3 minutes of the game last Sun day, a determined American Legion team from Manchester held them scoreless until the fourth quarter. On the fourth play of the game Manchester kick was blocked by Moe Paine, Blues end, on Manchester's 8 ward line. Hartford, recovering the ball on Manchester's 5 yard line, was unable to score, though Harry Dobrowolsky and Joe Kaslauskas carried it to Man chester's one yard line, on the fourth down Lou Montgomery, lacking good interference on an end around play, tossed a la teral for an eight yard loss.
 In the second period Man chester threatened the Blues, reaching the Blues 13 yard line with two long passes, but two attempts at a field goal by John Brown, Manchester guard, went bad.
 Early in the third quarter Bycholiski intercepted a Blues pass and returned it to the Blues 28 yard line. After nov ing the ball to the 26 yard line, Jim Doggart threw a pass to Bob Starkel, who ran fifteen wards for a touchdown after shaking off several tacklers. John Brown, Manchester guard, kicked the the placement for the extra point which was to give Manchester the edge over Hartford at the end ot the game.
 The remaining period of the game found the Blues bidding for a tie. On the fourth down with 22 yards needed for a hrst down. John Powers of the Blues threw a pass from the Blues 3e from kick formation to Johnny Dobrutsky, Hartford end. Stop ped near the 30, Dubrutsky la teralled to Harold Parker, who shaking off several tacklers went for a touchdown. Johnny Calcaterra's, Blues full-back place kick was blocked by Pase, ka. Manchester left guard.
 Though both teams showed much determination, the Man chester team held an edge over Hartford both offensively ane defensively throughout tht game.
 Lou Montgomery, the Blues backfeld ace, was unable t' , break loose for any gains owe! ten yards, possibly due to lacl of good interference. Bob Fay Tor, who gives Lou good block ing didn t play long enough t' give this aid.
 Harold Parker, who playe' little during the game becaus of previous injuries, played
 good game, making the onl, touchdown for the Blues. How ever, a better knowledge of tn plays would increase Parker efficiency considerable.

Both Parties Pledge Support
To Home Building Program

Washington - Blueprints for.
Americas biggest home-building
job-2,7O0,0O0 in two years-met
wide acclaim, and a let's-get-go-
ing attitude in Congress and the
construction industry.
With the program less than a
day old, both Republicans and
Democrats in Congress appeared
solidly behind most of the plan.
Some of them already were pitch
ing into the legislative end, but
the proposal for price ceilings on
old homes and building lots was
far from having universal sup
port.
Messages offering warm praise
and offers of cooperation poured
in on Housing Administrator Will
son S. Wyatt, who drew up the
plan, and on President Truman,
who endorsed and announced it.
They came from housing, labor
and farm organizations, from
mayors, veterans, and indiVid-
ualS.
The program calls for building
some $16,O00:00O,000 worth of new
homes in the next two years,
mostly by private firms. Most
of the houses would sell for no
more than $4,000 or rent for no
more than $50 a month.
To accomplish it, Wyatt said
there would be needed a ire
mendous expansion in the output
of building materials, three times
the labor force now working on
home construction, and, in some
cases, government subsidies for
wages and prices.
Representative Wolcott (R-
Mich.) said he and Chairman
Spence (D-KyD of the House
Banking Committee met yester-
day and would meet again Mon
day to discuss the required leg
islation. Wyatt and some of his
lawyers are expected to join the
huddle Monday.

The Columbia Riot TrioI
Gas The Christian Advocate See IT.

(As The Christian Advocate See It)
The acuuital of % of the 25 Ne
groe defendants in the Columbia
(Tenn.) riot trial at Lawrenceburg
is a rather striking circumstance.
Memory is a treacherous thing, but
we do not recall any similar mass
trials for race riots in previous
years. Likewise we do not recall
any group of Negroes tried in the
South for any offense in which
such proportion were acquitted.
This has occurred in individual
cases, but not before in group
cases.
It must be admitted frankly that
most of our people had become
pessimistic about the trials, expect
ing them to come out in the same
way as most trials of Negroes ac-
cused of crimes against white peo-
pie, so much os that many had
ceased to follow the accounts in
the newspapers, merely wanting to
know the final verdict. They

CHILD LABOR
LAW Benefits
ALL WORKERS

Strongly urging extension OF the
child-labor provisions of the Fed
eral Wage and Hour Law to types
of interstate business not now COW
cred, Beatrice Mcconnell declared
recently on the eighth anniversary
of that law that it's enforcement
has provided convincing proof that
not only young workers but work
ers of all ages, and employers as
well, benefit from the elimination
of oppressive child labor.
Miss Mcconnell, who directed
the Industrial Division of the Chill
dren's Bureau from 1885 until that
Bureaus reorganization in July,
and who is now with the Depart
ment of Labor's Division of Labor
Standards as Assistant Director in
charge of the Child Labor and
Youth Employment Branch, de-
clared that although youth en-
ployment has decreased somewhat
since the pressure Of war produc-
ton has ended, it is still high. Ac-
cording to latest estimates, about
40 percent of civilian youth IA
through II years of age were at
work in the summer of 1916.
Federal regulation of child la
Dor in industries producing goods
for shipment in interstate COM
merce, Miss Mcconnell said, has
been reflected in improved stand
ards of State legislations and en-
forcement.
"The protection of the law
stood children in good stead dur
ing the war;" she asserted, "and it
is especially important now to
guard against any letdown. The
record of most employers is good
in regard to compliance with the
child labor provisions of the Act.
Nevertheless, there is still a fringe
of employers who will take a
chance on employing children il
legally, just as they will on violat-
ing the wage and hour provisions

should now revive their hopes for
better things as they view the YER
dict, for it is clear that the men,
bers of the jury displayed a will
to be just in making their deci-
SionS.
There has been a steadily grow
ing disposition of southern courts
in recent years to improve in JUS
tice toward Negroes. Not yet is
it universal, but examples of a new
sense of justice can be cited from
cases all over the South. The
dramatic case at LaWrenceburg,
Tenn, ought to aid greatly in this
movement, inspiring other courts
to do likewise.
The case is not entirely closed.
Two of the defendants drew sem
tences and a few of those acquit-
ted are yet to be tried on other
counts. There are many compli-
cations still to be worked out.
However, one big double ques-
ton remains unanswered, namely,
Who is responsible for the riot and
can the state of Tennessee do any,
thing about it? All the white men
involved were released by the fed
eral grand jury and the state has
no charges against any of them.
Twenty-three Negroes were ac-
quilted after trial. Two Negroes
drew sentences. Were these two
Ngroes responsible for the race riot
or was the riot something for
which nobody can be held legally
responsible? This is the tragic
problem in all race troubles. The
few sentences meted out are near
ly always drawn by members of
the victim group. The others are
never handled. It is this immunity
from the legal responsibility for
rioting and lynchings that keeps
the practice alive. All law en-
forcement officers know clearly
the tactics for breaking up mob
and preventing riot. But until
they are willing to use the tactics
they know and have enough sup
port from local sentiment to mea-
sure out the law to the ring-lead-
ers, there will be little hope of
preventing riots and mobs by the
local authorities.

grams increased from $500 at the
end of September 1915 to 68, 200 at
the end of September, 1916.
