kane takes third place in the percent
age column. Butte lost To Seattle
and that helped some.
Zalusky, big as he is, hides himself
when he starts to steal "a base No
one on the Helena team saw him
swipe third yesterday. but the bleach
crs tipped it off to the Senators. He
stole both second and third in the
NTH.
Putnam did all sorts of things to
Carney yesterday. He uncorked one
corkscrew that twisted around the
Spokane twirlers bat and then glanc-
ed off his dome Of thought. Carney
didn't do so worse" in center, either.
Cupid" Dugdale's Seattle Chinooks

Seattle are conceded the two fastest
teams in the league and fine ball is
looked for. Helena goes to Butte to
open a series with the Miners to-
morrow.

PRINTERS APPEAL TO.
INTERNATIONAL BOARD

AS a result of the investigation into
the late arbitration of the Topographic
cal unions scale with the Review
Publishing company by District Or
ganizer Gosuell of Montana, who
came to Spokane last Friday for that
purpose. an appeal will be taken from
the decision to the international board
of arbitration.
This board is organized under the
agreement between the International
Typographical union and the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers associa-
tion. President Lynch of the inter-
national union and President Driscoll
of the publishers association form
this board with third man whom
they agree upon.
The local case will probably be sub
mitted to the arbitration board in
Chicago on briefs. but the board may
visit Spokane in order to get clearer
idea of the facts and the local situa-
ton as to cost of living, etc. The
case will be made up and submitted
at as early a date as possible. Presi-

dent Upper of the local union today
, stated the case as follows:
THE matter OF a scale of prices be
tween the Review Publishing com
pany and the local typographical
union is far from being finally set
tied. The international arbitration
agreement provides that in case To-
/ cal board of arbitration is formed.
and a decision rendered which is un-
satisfactory to either side. then re-
] view by the national board of arbi-
tration may be asked for by the dis
satisfied party. provided notice to the
other party TO that effect is given
within 3 days thereafter
The Review Publishing company
has been properly notified by the local
union, and the national board will
shortly take up the review of the
award. The union has a good case
and there is not much doubt of the
verdict being reversed by an impair
/ tial national board.
in the meantime the old scale
must be paid and conditions as they
were must prevail until the award by
/ the national board"
