Washington, D. c.. July 20.-'-The an
nouncement> that President Gompers
Of the American Federation Of Labor
had invited the 'ballplayers Of Amer
lea to join the organization has Great
ed some comment everywhere.
Doubt has been expressed that the
ballplayers Of the country would care
to identify themselves with a labor
organization, and little ;credence has
been pliced on the reports that the
valiant balltossers would take any ac-
ton looking to affiliation: with the

A Well-known expert says. Il am
In position to state. that majority
of the players are heartily in: favor OF
allying themselves with the Fedora
ton. and that the PROJECT Of the pro-
fessional :ballplayers OF America FORM
ing branch Of the Federation Is ex-
tremely bright. =:
Il have talked with two prominent
players on the New York team. one d
noted pitcher and the other "a *-cele-
brated fielder, and both said that not
only did they heartily favor the idea
of joining the. organization, but that
steps. would undoubtedly, be taken lin

players into branch Of the Fedora
tion." 49, ~ -. >t,.- * =.
One Of these players in speaking on
the question, said 'f:-'s -:
1--WE have no intention Of going into
this thing on a strike basis. and would
refuse to. take part in any sympathetic
strike or be drawn into any disputes
that other branches of labor might
have on hand. Our idea is that by or
ganizing and allying ourselves with a
powerful organization like: the Fedora
ton of Labor we would have g. much
better chance: Of securing a fair. hear
ing from the club-owners in cases
where We feel that player has not
league. Ar bitration is the uppermost
idea in our minds, and If we. can bring
that about We shall be perfectly salts
fled.
"As for a general strike of ballplay-
ers, do not think 1t would be resorted
to except in q case of dire necessity or
where g. league had been guilty of ex-
treme unfairness.

izing to build up another baseball
brotherhood or TO interfer with the

ASPHALT TRUST GETS
/ DC jolt :. N BUFFALO
President Castro of Venezuela
He \ Americans in op-
posing Asphalt Trust.
Buffalo is First City to Get Be
nefit of, Trusting Busting
in Street Paving.

No city In the country is 10 vital
ly interested in the matter Of street
pavings as Is the city Of Duluth. Every
man in public life is giving this ques-
ton his best hough. In Duluth we
are trying to get =. pavement that is
substantial; reasonably cheap and
easily repaired without heavy cost.
All kinds Of modern pavements have
been given a fair trial here. We look
kindly to tar macadam because 1t seems
to fill all requirements. but there is a
prejudice against its use In the busi-
ness portion Of the city on account Of
dust. d.. >:':: :. : :.
:: To the every day students of good
pavement the following may be Of In
terest:
:: Reports from the various points in
the East indicate that President Castro
is rivaling Mr.. Lawson as a trust bust
er. His method is more quiet, but he
Is getting more practical results. He
Is combining his attention to one trust,
the General Asphalt Company of Phil
adelphia.
This, through one, Of it's constituent
companies, formerly had a monopoly
OF the Venezuela asphalt beds. Now
1t Is said that President Castro has
broken up that monopoly and is sell
ling asphalt direct to all who want
to buy it. Probably he is getting more
for his asphalt, IL the story is true, but
consumers in this country are paying
less for II lob
ed by the asphalt trust to pay divi-
dends on It's watered stock and inflat-
ed bonds are being eliminated by COM
petition in the open market
There Is a good deal of mystery in
the business. Castro did not adver-
tise his new policy and nothing is
known Of it. but rumor. But In point
OF fact cities that want asphalt paving
are getting 1T pretty cheap and the
paving companies that bid for the
work seem to be all at sea. There
doesn't seem to be much asphalt work
doing now but the city of Buffalo
lately called for bids for, repairs. Last
year the city paid 1928 per yard. This
year the company that did the work
then bid $1.19. The Barber Asphalt
company, which was in the Venezuela
monopoly and knows the truth If it
has been broken up, bid soh cents.
But the contract went to an individ-
ual contractor for "a cents. He must
have got his asphalt very cheap and
pretty direct. This looks as II. what
used to be one Of the most expensive
pavements might return to use as a
rather cheap one, in climates and I'M
der conditions to which 1t In suited.

DRESS WELL,

led to stay in Panama, On tie other
hand, there are many: who would pre-
fer to stay there and draw their COM
mutation. In spite of this, they will
be compelled to remove to Corozal or
have their Communication cut off. All
these things act as continual pin pricks
upon the men and have their depres-
sing effects. There does not seem to
be that necessary insight into. actual
conditions which Is certainly necessa-
ry In order to retain even a small
semblance of proper organizat ton.
I'm this connection 1T may be said
that the head Of practically every de-
partment is in an acting capacity. The
chief engineer is in the states . as are
also the general quartermaster. me-
chanical engineer, and the health Of
ficer of Panama. A. M. Burtt,. is act
ing supervising architect. Governor
Davis is to leave on this boat. Colonel
Gorgas, chief sanitary officer, who is
in personal charge of the yellow fever
situation, is acting governor.
The steamshovel output in Culebra
cut is now less than $4,000 square
yards a day, with eight shovels at
work. This is due to the wet weather
and. lack of proper force and. material
to construct and maintain dump
tracks. The spikes pull out Of the wet
ties, and the rails turns over, derail-
ing whole trains on their way to the
dumps with excavated: material. Dump
benches have also sloughed off in
many places, taking track and; cars
with them. This stops operation UNI
til dump service: can be. resumed. In
addition to this. the: materials .(mostly
clay) Is rendered sticky by the rains
and cannot be dumped, necessitating
shovellng from the cars by hand. All
this, added to the v0ther .liscetiraE ing
features Of the work at Culebra,.. is
having it's bad effect upon the men.
