The Huntington team came here last Fri
day and Saturday to play two games with the
locals, and both should have been won by
the home team.
But inability to hit the ball at Opportune
times and very Indifferent fielding lost Satur
days game.
The Huntington club is a body of gentle
manly ball-tOssers, who know the game and
use every endeavor to give an exhibition
that is worth going to see.
On Friday Enter, the Midland twirler, was
on the slab for Our Own" and his benders
and slants were puzzles to the visitors. Up
to the ninth inning he had them shut out

support behind the bat and played the game
Of his life, The third-base play of Mooney
Gunnett deserves special mention. The most
difficult plays were made with ease, elegance,
grace; while Stanley, in the left garden, did
some splendid fielding.
All in all, the team played like heroes and
and gave fine exhibition.
Port, the visitor pitcher is from Dickin-
son College team and a left handed twirler of
no mean ability. His catcher, Grimminger,
is from the "Monarchs'' of Altoona Clymer,
the short-stop played in the New England
League last season, being a member of the
Stockton (Mass.) team.
They played good ball and pleased the
many "rooters and fans who patronlzed the
games.
W. f. Hartman, of Frostburg, and Arthur
Reed, of Huntington, umplred the game very
satisfactorily.

AN INTERIOR PURPOSE

4 "A mass meeting was held last evening
benefits of patronizing home prodIc-
tion, expansion and general labor organ
cation. The meeting was called under
the auspices of local union No. 375, In
ternational Cigarmakers' union, and
was largely attended. The meeting was
presided over by Harry Campbell Will
|. diam Strauss, agent of the Internation-
! al Cigarmakers' union of New York,
addressed the meeting at some length
upon the question of expansion.
He seemed to express the opinion of
those present when he said he opposed
the idea of expansion, for the reason
that he believed there was an Interior
purpose in the movement. He believed
( it was for the purpose, of obtaining a
source of cheap labor to compete with
the hfgh-class labor of America, and
that expansion would give the monop-
olies an opportunity to import as much
of Chinese, Japanese and other cheap,
allen labor as they wanted, in order to
force the American laborer to a basis
of starvation wages, and in order that
the dividends of big corporation stock
holders might be increased.
He also believed the proposed annex
alton would lead us into imperialism.
/. This belief he based upon the fact of
there being SO many islands in the Phil
dppine group, all of which would have
their own governor general, who would
be an autocrat and practically a king,
/ doing as he pleased.
The speaker ridiculed the statement
that the administration did not desire
to annex the Philippine islands. If it
were not the case why was there
$1,000, 600 paid to the Spanish govern
ment for the islands? If this country
sought to do the proper thing, why did
1t not establish a protectorate govern
ment over the islands, and give the in
habitants their freedom. The speaker
said he had knowledge that there were
clubs organized in this country, whose
tendencies were decidedly toward i'm
perialism. t. tI
In discussing home industry. the
I speakers at the meeting declared that
/ Montana products were the equal of
any in the United States, and why the

tons are, did the company transact
business in the county, and, if so, can

pally of law. Most of the facts were
agreed upon in writing, and evidence
was taken upon the points not agreed
upon. The case was submitted to the

ings of law. Massena Billiard of Hell
