The rumbling of balls as they Travelled
down the highly-polished alleys and the
clatter of pins furnished music for MEM
bers of the Commercial Bowling League
and their friends on the Pastime and Ma
rion alleys last evening. The championship
season was successfully launched and while
few high scores were made the results of
nearly all the teams showed that the bow
ling in that league this season will be much
better than last year.
Probably the most interesting series of
games was played by the Marott and Pettis
teams. The Marotts took the first game by
good margin, but the Pettis team came
back in the second game with a score of
$50 and won handily. The third game was
hard fought, the Marotts winning by a mar

played an interesting series, the Whens
winning two of the three games.
The Kingan team. one of the new clubs
in the league, made good start by win

Remarkable Ideas Held by Leaders
of Labor Interests.

Chicago Letter in New York Post.
1t has been accepted here as proved. and
acted upon as nowhere else in the country,
that unionism believes itself possessed OK
Gompers has said that IF an Individual
workingman leaves his union he should
leave the country, the workingman who has
no union card is an outcast." In elabora-
ton of his point he added that his organ
ization is based upon the highest and purest
members" Even the United States cannot
make a man an outcast, and Danish him
from the country, upon the complaint that
he prefers to work as an individual and not
as a member OF an oath-bound union. On
the contrary, IL guarantees him liberty in
the matter What unionism contends for
is Limitation to the Just liberty" both
of the workman and of those who might
seek to employ him, and nothing has helped
much to weld all employers into solid
association and 10 rouse here rcmarka BILE
public antagonism toward organized labor
as the perception that the "closed shop" OF
unionism means a violent overthrow OF
American ideas.
One of the most intelligent and most re-
spected labor leaders i'm Chicago. a Hun
garian, was asked il union leaders really
agreed with the Gompers idea that they
should have the right TO exile and make
outcasts OF nonunion workingmen- lie an
swered without hesitation:
Certainly. Here is the way we look at
IL: We are at war for workingmen Now
nation and American should shirk his
duty. and go 10 the enemy YOU would cali
him a traitor. wouldn't you? And ne would
have to forfeit his life IL captured. Nom
union men who take the places of striking
unionists are guilty of such treason. A
strike is war. And If .scab' were
