BALL PLAYERS
URGED To FORM
A LABOR UNION
Gompers Proselyting on

Diamonds.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

CHICAGO, June N.-If the efforts Of
Samuel j. Gompers prove successful ball
players may be called out on strike some
time in the near future, In sympathy for
some other trades union, or they may
have grievances Of their own that will
warrant a strike In their own behalf
Letters have been received by all players
in the big leagues asking them to be-
come members of the Federation Of La
Dor and to organize unions in every city
or town that supports a ball team.
The movement is not the first one Of
its kind, by any means. as labor leaders
have often tried in the past to get the
players into their organizations, but never
has any success attended their efforts.
When the ball players had their own or
9anizatjon, few years ago, the labor
leaders made advances to have them join
the Federation Of Labor, but the idea did
not strike the players avorably. Now
that the players have dropped their own
organization there Is less probability of
the ball tossers organizing. The war be-
tween the American and National leagues
three years ago broke up the players
organization.

CHICAGO, June 27.-It was reported
to-day that formal removal of Interna-
tional President c. p Shea of the
brotherhood of Teamsters had been de-
cided upon by the international execu-
tive board. The anti-Shea leaders in
the committee practically have voted
To deDose the leader. A trial has
been held and President Shea has been
found guilty of violating the constitu

ganization. There is no appeal from
the action of the international COM
mittee. 1t is planned promptly 10 an

until Shea's successor shall be elected

For weeks the International board
has been opposed to Shea and his
methods. Fear that the move TO
depose the leader would make him a
martyr" among the rank and file and
insure his reelection as president
caused members of the board 70 post
pone their action.
The special charges against Presi-
dent Shea are that he called strike
contrary to the constitution and made
expenditures of the Drotherhood's
money contrary to the terms of the
constitution and bylaws.

national board. who has not been In

is in progress it would clearly be i'm
polite for France to conclude an alli-

reached its conclusion, and France, be-

A FALSE MEDIUM.
Woman Declared Guilty OF Making
fraudulent Manifestations.

Minneapolis, Mimi Oct IA sensa-
ton was sprung at the opening session
Of the thirteenth annual convention of
the National Spiritualists today when
the national board Of trustees reported
finding Mrs. G. W. Stewart of St. Louis,
better known as Mrs. s. K. Folsom,
guilty Of fraudulent manifestations and
Of being a false spirit medium. No
sooner was the finding Of the board OF
trustees handed to Mrs. Stewart than
her husband. who sat with her in the
front Of the church, said he would this
afternoon appeal the case to the con-
vention.
Mrs. Folsom had a hearing before a
committee Of the National association
in st. Louis and was there found guilty
through the alleged confession OF an as
Eistant.
Mrs. Folsom in turn says this confess
sion IS false and part Of a conspiracy
to cause her downfall. and promises
some sensational cOuntercharges.
