Only one goalie, Paul Goodman of Chicago, has turned in two scoreless nights while others have one each. Goodrhan, who replaced the vet- eran Tiny Thompson in the Chica- go nets last season, hagged his sec- ond shutout last night as the Black Hawks trimmed Montreal diens, 2-0.

Secretary J. W, Buckley brought reports of rumors of butter ration- ing which appeared in an evening paper to the attention of the dele- gates and declared there was no real shortage in the Dominion. "These false reports are shoving up the price of butter," he declared, "and are not in the best interest of Canada's war effort or of the con- sumer." gv Text of Resolution The resolution, which passed un- animously, read as follows: "Where= as it is an offense under the De- fense of Canada Act to circulate res ports that are jiable to cause un- rest during the present crisis; and | whereas reports appearing in the local press of Dec. 12 gave reports of the necessity to ration butter and restrict its uses, such reporte creating a certain amount of un- rest in the minds of our people and further lending comfort to the enemy; and whereas the officials of the Wartimes Prices and Trade Board absolutely denied they had ever considered rationing butter or restriction of its uses. "Therefore, be it resolved, that this Trades and Labor Gounci] de- mand that the Government take steps to see that those responsible for the publication of such .reports --those who make utterances that create discord--be summarily dealt with under the Defense of Canada Act."

They -are dodging, with almost general success, summonses to ap- pear in court in connection with Attorney General John E, Cassidy's campaign to put them out of busi- ness. Cassidy obtained a temporary in- junction December 3rd restraining 2,000 book-makers and other persons and corporations in Illinois from handling wagers on horse races or selling service or turf information to hand-books or renting space to them. A bundle of 1,380 summonses was dumped into the legal lap of Sheriff Thomas J, O'Brien in Chicago last week. Two deputies, accompanied by eight reporters and eight photo- graphers and attended by consider- able fanfare, set out to serve the papers on the gambling gentry forthwith, Schrie on the cashier's line or versa.
