Polo Reforms SUGGESTED.

Our handicap polo system, good though
it be to nurture young players and keep
old-timers in the game, is often a wet
blanket on sport by giving to the stronger
team an impossible mountain to climb
to win out the match. To make up
twenty goals or so is monotonous to the
strong players and the spectators. the
only ones really interested being the
Weaklings who are resOrting to all kinds
Of blocking tactics, a sort Of tiddlede-
w1nks on ponies, to keep the good players
from scoring. The remedy is already in
force, as witness the programme at
Meadow Brook, and 1t consists of more
events for teams without handicaps and
of events framed on conditions that bring
together teams Of the one grade. The
tournament for the Country club cups
last week at the Country Club of West
chester, was for teams handicapped at
not over sixteen goals, and no individual
to be rated above five goals. The trophies
were won by the Meadow Brook repre-
sentatives-- Rockaway's team, just
as the Westchester cups for teams under
the regular handicaps were won in the
first week of the Country club meeting.
Nearly the same men played in the two
decisive matches, and If to bring out new
men is to be held as the main end of
the second team events, 1t would advance
the game to impose the condition that
the minor teams should not contain any
members of the clubs best performers

SUPERIOR PLUMBER SUES

DULUTH, Mimi, June 9.-R R.
Hudson, a Superior plumber, has filed
papers in a suit against L. H. Bunker,
president of the local plumbers union,
charging him with Islander and de-
handing $1,000 damages. The COM
plainant alleges that Bunker attempted
to injure him in a business way by re-
fleeing upon his unionism.
Hudson, who has only recently
started in business, declares that be-
cause he refused to pay $500 and be-
come member of the Master Plumb
ers' association, he has been unable to
purchase goods for cash or otherwise
from wholesalers and that his business
is becoming demoralized as a result.
He asserts that he is unable to pay the
$500 demanded, that he employs union
men and pays union wages and ex-
poets to do so in future but that he has
a right to live whether he becomes a
member of the association or not. He
also intimates that he will bring suit

am certain that the board of regents
will be entirely conscientious in dis
charging its duties, so as to promote

Affiliated Bodies for Action
Political OAiceholders
May Still Hold Office in

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, June O.
The convention of the State Federation
of Labor opened up for work in earnest
today. A number Of resolutions were
acted upon. A resolution offered in the
line of socialism brought forth very
strong discussion. The resolution was
finally referred to the affiliated bodies
for action.
By a large majority the convention
turned down the proposition to prevent
members of the federation holding
elective or appointive political offices
from being officers of the federation.
Considerable interest developed early
in the day when the committee of res
olutions reported favorably on the in
PRODUCTION of a resolution asking for
political action by the convention. Two
reports were made on the resolution,
the majority report being favorable
and the minority headed by Chairman
Joseph Pratt of Duluth, recommend
ing no action.
Delegate Mullane, of Minneapolis, and
others spoke on the affirmative report
|. and Joseph Pratt, of Duluth, assailed
the committees action.
The following is the resolution:
Whereas, The development of the
trusts into a worldwide institution dem
onstrates the final situation of an ALIEN
bracing trust. owned and controlled by a
means Of life, whose economic power re-
fleets into government means a final state
of capitalistic feudalism; and,
Whereas, The machinery Of produc-
ton and exchange is now owned by the
capitalistic class and operated by them
only for profit, which prevents the en-
ployment of willing workers and imposes
consequent burdens On those employed,
and as the wages of the working class in
purchasing power have steadily decreased,
and every raise in money wages has been
more than offsetsby the increased cost Of
necessary commodities, it demonstrates
the necessity Of the workers owning the
means of production and exchange in
order to escape the inevitable tendency
OF capitaltstic slavery; and,
in both. state and nation is at present
vested in those who use the courts to
issue blanket injunctions and the police
and military to enforce their deSpotfc de-
crees and through these means prevent
lawful persuasion and defeat. the cause
Of organized labor; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the State Federation of
Labor recommend to all local and af-
mated bodies the adoption of an amend
ment to their constitution by clause
permitting political action along the line
of the class struggle, with the aim and
object to assist the political movement of
the working class of the world in controlI-
ing the powers of government and the
public ownership of all the means of pro-
ductton and distribution under a form of
cooperative control through the impera-
i've mandate and the initiative and refer
endum.'
The delegates were entertained at the
Gross opera house tonight by several
speakers and by I. w. Nolan, of Mime
apol1S. In numerous selections. Tomor-
the days, as the election of officers will
take place.
