County Clerk and asked them to
turn the books over to us so we
could make an audit. The
County Clerk refused to do it.
We met with three appea ais

access to the books to carry on
a normal business of the Build

] pointed out to one of the
judges that the auditing of these
books and giving the member
ship a record of their assets was
a normal business function. All
three of the judges agreed with
me. One said, "Mr. Macy, you
are perfectly right. You can use
my courtroom to examine these
books"
The others echoed his state
ment. In walked the attorneys
for the Toledo Blade. never
saw three judges do a flip-flop
as fast as those three did in my
life.
When the attorneys Smith and

that we did not have a right to

Now, ! say that kind of con-
dition in America and in our
American cities has got to be
brought to an end, and we have
got to begin working to build
our own daily newspapers SO
that we can get the facts to our
members and the general pub
lie so that we won't have mono

problems we are talking about
to correct conditions like the

like we have in the city of De-

of this nation and our U n n

So I want to urge each and

Let's begin building the tools so

known as the Toledo Times.

from first-hand observation and
conversation with that man that
he has not got the brains to run
a newspaper intelligently and
honestly.
The managements in the City
of Toledo decided that they were
going to fight the Unions pen
sion demands, and so manage
ments and the newspapers got
together and they began carry
ing on the most vicious cam
.paign against our Union in that
city that we have ever seen.
They began to attack Vice
President Gosser because he had
the courage and the CUTS to say
that the best way to have a pen
sion program in that city was to
have an area-wide pension plan
SO that if a worker was laid off
in one plant and he got job in
another plant he would be able
to maintain his credit-he would
be able to have credit towards
his pension.
The newspapers and manage
ments organized committee
and they began to do a vicious
job on our members. Unfortun-
ately some people inside our Un-
ion were b boug h t out by the
newspapers and by management
and bectme part of this game of
trying to destroy and discredit
our Union. They started law
suit against our organization,
and who do you think hired the
attorneys for the individual who
brought the lawsuit against our
Union? That individuals name is
John Bolman.
Mr.. Block, in my presence, at
a deposition hearing in the city
of Toledo admitted that he had
paid $4,000 in attorneys fees SO
that Mr.. Bolman could bring a
lawsuit against our organization
against our organization and
our Union. The attorneys Mr..
Block hired to handle these law
suits are now the attorneys for
the newspaper.

the day.
Iwant to cite two examples
of how that is done in order to
point up the Importance of our
beginning to do something con-
cretely toward establishing a
daily newspaper. About a year
ago we had screaming headlines
in the Detroit newspapers about
some fire bombs being found in
the trim shop of the Briggs
plant. Anyone looking at the
Detroit News or the d e r t
Free Press might have had the
impression that Marcy and his
gang of thugs were starting a
revolution.
What were the facts? We got
into this situation and we found
the Fire Marshaps office hap
pened to be in the trim shop
and some fire bombs were left
over from the war for demon
Stration purposes to show the
workers how to deal with fire
bombs.
We c0Operated with the
FBI and the Detroit Police
Department and management
trying to determine how these
bombs appeared i'm the trim
shop. We found out after our
investigation that same fell
lows i'm the trim shop were
playing catch with these
bombs, not k n wing what
they were, and that the Fire
Marshal said hat sabotage
was not responsible for hav-
+: ing those bombs in the trim
shop.
We gave the newspapers that
story on this question. Do you
think that they would give us
headline which said that this
was a hoax?
Do you think they would give
us front-page coverage?
In a Detroit newspaper on
page 81 there was a little para
graph and half in which they
told that this was all a hoax and
that the guys were playing ball
with these bombs and did not
I know what they were.
But lot Of people got the
impression from those scare
headlines that we were plan
ming and plotting social re-
vOlution in those plants, and
the newspapers did not do
job of correcting that false
impression w h ic h they had
created by the headlines that
they had dealing with that sit
uati0n.
I had occasion a few months
ago to spend some time in the
city of Toledo, Ohio, and got to
know how the newspapers in
that town operate. We have

RICHMOND. Va. Dec. 15.-
After its very positive action last
night in placing Maryland and
Clemson on probation for a year,
the Southern Conference today
beat around the bush by deferring
action on the next most contro-
versial issues. spring practice and
the freshman rule.
Spring practice will be permitted
but the question of how much has
been referred to committee set
up to eliminate the overlapping of
sports seasons.
However, this was a satisfactory
solution as far as the coaches are
concerned as they feel spring prac-
tice will be over before any ac-
tion is taken. There now is a six
week limit on spring practice.
Action on the freshman rule
was postponed until a meeting
in May, or until the results of a
mail vote are tabulated. It is
believed the conference will go
along with others in acting on the
freshman rule. The conference
presidents, at their September
meeting. went on record as being
opposed to freshmen in varsity
sports.

CHICAGO. Dec. 15.-The full
Television Committee of the Ma

tomorrow for some light spade
work on the NCAA's 1852 football
television policy.
The eight-man committee won't
roll up its sleeves on the contro-
versial subject until just before
the annual NCAA convention in
Cincinnati January 1912.
Tomorrow and Monday, CO.
Chairman Ralph Furey of Column
bia will report on the operation of
the NCAA's experimental Con-
troll" program during the last foot
ball season.
The NCAA allowed network
telecasting of 10 games last fall
and criticism came steadily from
many quarters.
Each OF the NCAA's eight dis
trict representatives will review

The conference presidents were

The most important moves
made yesterday were to ban bowl
games. limit football squads to
40 men in uniform. and to wait
for NCAA action on the live tele-
vision question.
Today the conference clarified
the responsibilities of Wallace
Wade, commissioner, and in a
sense gave him more authority.
The conference also required
member schools to report each

Workman tied the game at 35-all.
Lee Brawley, the Terps' outstand-
ing forward, made it 36-35, with
1921 left and Maryland waived
three free throws in succession
trying to freeze the ball.
But the Terps lost possession
via a running with -the-ball in

That cost them the ball game.

Closely guarded all evening,
Workman tailed 26 of his 30
points in the last half. Don Mo-

The tall Hoyas controlled both
backboards, shot accurately and
worked their plays smoothly as
they scored their second win in
three starts. O'Grady used 16
players and the substitutes hit
the basket with almost as much
success as the starters.
Georgetown set the pattern in
the opening minutes. scoring 13
points before the Yellow Jackets
could get a field goal. The Hoyas
led 1913 at the end of the first
period and 1921 at the half. The

Redskins Play Hosts

In Season. S Finale
By Lewis F. Atchison

With the Redskins striving for
500 average, their best record
in three years. and Fullback Rob
Goodies sights set on the National
Football Leagues ground-gaining
crown, the pro football season ends
here today with the Redskins hosts

game, regardless of whether his

Goode, with 844 yards, has an
11-yard margin over Eddie Price

the closest races for the laurels in
