NKVV YORK. Nov., 12— The pro
posal, advanced by the Pacific Const
Association of the Amateur Union, to
bar all foreign athletes from future
competition in national championship
meets, finds little favor among Hast*
om athletic authorities and followers
of track and field sports. The con
census of opinion indicates that it
would be a most peculiar action for
, the American athletic organization to
take as athletes from the States have
for years been the most consistent
*. avelling competitors and prize win
n-*rs.
It was ;>ointed out by a prominent
\. A. V. authority that then* mi^ht be
some reason for such a proposal on
the part of the Canadian Union, ir.
view of the fact that in past years
trontf teams from the Ww York A.
C., and the Irish-Ameriran A C. have
. ourneyed to Canada and swept a\va>
every first prize and title at the an
nual Dominion Championships. Amor
ican athletes also have been promi
nent winners of titular track and rieh!
honors in similar meets in England,
Scandinavia, and other Euro peon
countries. In every case our athletes
have been welcomed and where they
vero vrood enough to defeat the best
of the home entrants thcr was noth
ing but praise for their performances.
The menace of the foreign athletic
invader is furthermore of little danc
er. Very few have been able in the
past to show their he«*ls to the he* t of ,
the American stars, as the records of
h ;th home championships and Olyir.

greater and better effort if a few in
vuding performers could be found to
show the way to our stars. It is t!i«.
generally expressed opinion that af
ter peace reigns aguin throughout the
world there will be a great revival ol
international sport competition. With
this thought uppermost in the mind
of the delegates who gather for the
annuul meeting of the A. A. U., at
Philadelphia on November IS, there
appears little possibility of the adopt
ion of the proposed resolution.

WASHINGTON, Nov., 12— Direct
op Goncial McAdoo and his railroro
administration are finding om
through the new bureau of complaint
and suggestions, what the people
think of the railroads mder govern
neat control. The people think mam
good tiling.'* and many bad. They writ
praise and condemnation of policio
and individual employes. Some o
tlvir suggestions are declared pra<"
leal and many not. It is the task n*
t!i• * bureau to translate the acccpto
complaints and suggestions into ac
ion which will effect reforms, and e*
plain to all other writers reasons r .
practices against which they pro
test
Nearly three hundred letters pou
into the bureau every day, and hun
dreds of suggestions already hav.
borne fruit in refomis. As result,
train schedules have be“n charg'd t'
permit better connections for com
muters, absolute baggage practices in
volving extortionate charges hav
been eliminated, strayed shipments o
household goods have been traced
public facilities in stations and
coaches have been improved, ineffic
ient and discourteous employes have
bet n discovered, and even more cap
able and accommodating railroad me!
have been commended and recognized
More than a fourth of the letters
complain against inadequate pass eng
»r service, crowded cars and belated
trains. In most eases the cause of
complaint, explaining that in war
times perfect train service can not *•
expected. Congestion at ticket office
,s similarly explained.
From a Pennsylvania town cam
the suggestion that a group of women
cooperate to keep the station clean.
They were told to go ahead, and they
did
“I have been a traveling man thirty
years, and I have spent ten years wait
ing for connections at Junction City.

An investigation was started to as
certain whether schedules actually
did discriminate against Junction
City.
