This proposal was that wage reductions granted July 15 should be reflected immediately in freight rate cuts and that further wage cuts should be postponed indefinitely.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17—The power of a baseball magnate to control the off-season activities of players in organized baseball hangs in the balance. With the arrival of Judge K. M. Landis, high commissioner of baseball, here today the question of whether Babe Ruth should be punished, perhaps banned from organized baseball, for defying orders and playing in an exhibition game at Buffalo yesterday, was expected to be taken up. Ruth played in the game contrary to the orders of Landis, the man who is the last word in the enforcement of baseball law. Landis has declared emphatically that Ruth shall be punished, while the player is prepared to assert his right to be master of his own activities during the winter months. That any drastic step to discipline the player will result in a baseball war of great proportions is likely. The New York club, while swearing allegiance to Landis, is not expected to sit idly by and see the biggest drawing card and one of the greatest players in the game barred from competition and it is expected that the American league will also back the player. Baseball contracts are kept out of civil courts as much as possible by the magnates but the case of a player of Ruth's prominence cannot be hushed up by the powers of baseball.

Will Take Definite Action Along This Line Within Next Month Definite action to establish Anaheim as a city of the fifth class or a charter city, will be undertaken within a month by the C. of C., according to a statement by Attorney Leonard Evans. The proposal to obtain recognition as a city of the fifth class has been under discussion for some time, a majority of the members seem to believe there are many advantages to be gained from such a move. The suggestion to make this a charter city was made by City Manager Steward, and is being given equal consideration. However, no one has pointed out the advantages to be gained by the latter move over the first proposition and a majority seem to be in favor of the first proposal. One of the tremendous advantages in favor of obtaining recognition as a city of the first class lies in the fact that the city would be entitled to a board of education of not less than five members. At the present time The suggestion to make this a charter city was made by City Manager Steward, and is being given equal consideration. However, no one has pointed out the advantages to be gained by the latter move over the first proposition and a majority seem to be in favor of the first proposal. One of the tremendous advantages in favor of obtaining recognition as a city of the first class lies in the fact that the city would be entitled to a board of education not less than five members. At the present time the educational facilities of the city are in the hands of three school trustees. As a city of the fifth class, Anaheim would also have a reorganization of the "city powers that be," and it seems that this alone is one of the things that is spurring the members of the chamber on to quick action.

Monteuloe, of Los Angeles, and taken to the Los Angeles-co jail where he is held in default of bail.

Prior to coming to Anaheim, Darnley was manager and matchmaker of the San Bernardino club, going there from Santa Barbara, where he conducted boxing bouts for several years. Darnley was taken into custody at the close of the regular weekly show here last week and immediately taken to Los Angeles. According to the information received today, his bail has been set at $5000, and in default if this amount is being held in Los Angeles to await trial.

What, hot Here'a a sample copy of one of the new motor street cars, operated by the city's newest business institution, the Anaheim Transit Co. Two cars will be placed in regular service Thursday morning. One of the cars was tested out Saturday, when the schedule was supposed to begin. However, the cars were not completed at that time and an extension of time was granted by the state railroad commission. The initial equipment will be one car on the Center-st, from East-st, to the W. Anaheim packing houses and one on Los Angeles-st, from the sugar factory to Broad-st. There will also be a third bus in reserve for an emergency. Additional equipment will be available as soon as the patronage warrants arrives. The busses, built in Los Angeles on Studebaker four-cylinder chassis, seat 15 passengers. The five-cent fare is collected by the driver at the door as the passengers get on. The busses are expected to become very popular due to the rapid expansion of the city. It has long been recognized that the city could not attain its desired speed in development until a transportation system linked up the new subdivisions. Rainy weather is also expected to demonstrate their convenience to businessmen who are now in the habit of parking their autos downtown during business hours. Once they get the habit, it is believed businessmen and shoppers will soon perceive the economy of using the busses instead of leaving their autos to stand out in the weather.

MEETINGS OF UNIONS' LEADERS POSTPONED: HOPE U.S. WILL ACT CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—Confronted by the flat statement from the postoffice department that every man in the American army will be called into play, if necessary, to prevent a tie-up of the mails, facing the fact that there is a wide split in the ranks of various factions of the railroad workers and seeking new means of averting the threatened strike, the meeting of railway union heads, which had been scheduled for today at Cleveland, has been postponed till Wednesday. Union chiefs expect that before that date President Harding will have made a definite move to prevent the walk-out, probably the calling of all leaders to a conference at the national capital. Warren S. Stone, W. G. Lee and other generals of the strike movement today signified their complete willingness to go to Washington or take any other steps which might avert the strike. They feel that it would be little short of a catastrophe, realize that the public, which would be the principal sufferer, would not be in sympathy with the walk-out, and are fully convinced that if a general strike were called and failed of success the blow would prove the worst ever dealt to organized labor.
