Has Mike Fisher of the Tacoma
team thrown down Spokane? and
will the Tigers be seen in Califor-
mia next year? are the questions
which are worrying the lovers of
baseball now. A short time ago a
report reached the city that Spo-
kane had been admitted into the
Pacific Coast league, but just look
at what Mike has to say about put
ting his team into California and
calling it the Fresno-Bakerfield
team. He states he has received
a guarantee of $4,000 and more will
be subscribed later II he decides
to stay in the south.
Il think the best plan would be
to put my team in Pasadena and
give Los Angeles continuous base
ball." said Mike, ''but as long as
Morley objects to the plan and this
is his territory, it will probably fall
through. If the Fresno-Bakerfield
scheme works out all right we will
go there. 1t will consolidate the
league and reduce the travelling ex-
penses.
Il have paid enough to the rail
roads in the past three years to

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 10. -
The wonderful football team of the
Kentucky University for the Blind
in its last game accomplished the
remarkable feat of playing to a
standstill the team of the Manual
freshmen. Neither side scored, the
blind boys holding their opponents
safe throughout. All who saw the
game agreed that the blind boys
outplayed their opponents, and had
it not been for the handicap their
affection imposed on them, would
have won an overwhelming vic.
tory.
Prof. John Gregory, who devel-
open the blind team, says that if
this handicap could be balanced in
some way, no team of their own
weight could stand against the
blind boys. The line of the team,

There should be no feeling be-

trembling spouse-that sort of a

regulations, demanding of its members loyal work as much as 1t demands pay
 ment of dues.
 Perhaps the most striking instance of
 the confidence with which the great
 majority of railroad companies regard
 the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers occurred recently on the New
 Haven road In order to facilitate the
 movement of the great mass of freight
 which floats between New York and Boston 1t became necessary to relieve the congestion around New Haven. The
 management decided that the simplest method was to establish a great freight yard at Midway. half way between New
 York and Boston and situated in a fiat eXpanse near New London. This in- volved certain amount of inconveni- ence to many of the engineers. whose
 runs had previously ended at New Ha- homes in that city. Under the new ar rangement they had either to remove l to Midway or spend less time at home. Naturally they were displeased. In l order to handle promptly the ever-in- creasing traffic, the company had no
 choice but to insist. Moreover. the time saved by relieving the congestion
 was of service to the men. enabling
 them either to draw pay for more mile age Or to have to themselves the time which had formerly been spent in wait | ing for clear track. To aid in the
 task of harmonizing the necessities of | freight traffic and the comfort of the men the company called in two mem bers of the general committee of the
 engineers, paying them for their time
 and for their expenses just as it would
 pay any of its staff of employees. With their assistance the reform was ac- complished with a maximum of freight
 and minimum of discomfort to the en- | gineers.
 There was at no time the faintest whisper of a strike or even any hard feeling.

York, told the strikers what he would do. went back to Cleveland and did it."
 An indisposition to resort to the policy of the big stick has not meant an indispostion to obtain those objects for which labor organizations primar- fly exist. When the Brotherhood was founded in 1863 the men were receiv- ing $2,65 a day. Now the general av- craze is $350. and on some roads 1t is more, the New York. New Haven and Hartford. for example. paying its en- gineers an average of $3S5 for day of ten hours or less. Of course, in railroading crew cannot abandon It's train when the whistle blows as a fac tory hand leaves his work. and the re- suit Is q system of overtime and mile age which may appear complicated to the outsider. but in practice has been found to work we'll. Thus the New Haven roads average wages of $S.S5 are based on run of 100 miles or less for each engineer a day. This the road guarantees will be done in ten hours by freight as well as passenger trans. If. for any reason. a man Is longer on the road, he receives 3S 12 cents for each extra hour, or if his run is more than 100 miles he draws 3S l2 cents again for every ten miles. Thus the men on whom fall the task of pilotinG the fve-hour limited trains between New York and Boston receive increased mileage compensation for their great responsibility. and the equally impor- tant and onerous. if less spectacular. work of conducting heavy and slow freight trains is rewarded by extra pay for the long hours which freight crews must in the nature of things be pre- pared to endure. Such wage scale as this is far different from the old $265 a day and it has been obtained without the enormous economic loss which in- evitably accompanies labor wars.
 Several reasons are advanced as ex- plantations of the steadfastness with which a pacific and at the same time firm policy has been adhered to for so many years Much is attributed to the personal influence of the late Grand Chicf Arthur who was the head of the Brotherhod from 1876 to 1903. In these twenty-seven years he so impressed upon the whole organization his own characteristics that after his sudden death at Winnipeg there was no reac> tion

New York, April 15.-In the futile strike on the subway and elevated railroads in New York City, the dra- matic episode was unquestionably the expulsion from the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers of the striking mo- tormen. The drastic action of Grand Chief Stone Is one more instance of the policy of conservatism to which his brotherhood has steadfastly adhered in the fortytwo years of its existence. While implicit obedience Is demanded from the 4S.000 members of the organ lzation, there has been no desire to force any man to belong to the Broth erhood or to keep members who do not wish to stay As one enginee said recently, We stand for the open shop and always have stood for it. We think we have a good organization and want men to join it because they think so. too. We have expelled men before for violating the rules, but this is the first time a contract has ever been broken"
 According to the Brotherhood's na- tiOnal officers, not only the rules of their organization which imperatively required all disputes to be referred to the Grand Council before even the thread of a strike Is made. but they also violated their agreement with the mterborough Rapid Transit Company Grand Chief Stone hurried from Clevc- land to New York, met a committee of the strikers and told them then and there what was to happen to them.
 Tt was the saddest thing I have ever sccn," said one of the officials who was present at the conference, when Stone told the men what they had done. You are out of it, he said. You are beaten already and you are out of the Brotherhood How about our jobs? they asked You are out of them, too if you don't get back to work right away Stone answered"
 Tt is not true said a member of the Brotherhod who is familiar with the whole history of the outbreak. that Stone waited to see whether the men were beaten before he acted Before the public knew anything about the strike. he took Jencks. the local leader, before President Belmont and told him that he would have no support 1T he ordered his men out.

strong to permit foothold to be gain ed by that radical labor element which regards all capital as its natural en- enly. This element is to be found far more largely among the fremen. whose positions are not so good, whose eX- perience and age are less. For this reason the engineers have never been willing to form a federated body of railroad men and have contented them selves with acting jointly with other railroad organizations whenever com mon interests were at stake Not in- frequently. however. such alliances have broken down through what the engineers regarded as the extreme rad icalism of their temporary allies.
 Far more than questions of insurance, this explains why il Is that some fire men promoted to the grade of engi- neers keep their membership in their former brotherhood-a complication which recently threatened to produce a strike on the New Haven road. The firemen asserted that the committee of the Brotherhood Engineers was not pushing the grievances of engineers who were members of the firemen' s brotherhood with any real vigor. and that the company should allow such men to be represented by the grievance committee of the 1remen. To this the company replied that 1t knew nothing about different brotherhoods; that it had an agreement with its engineers by which they were to elect a commit tee to represent them in all disputes with the management: and that it pro- posed to keep its agreement The Brotherhood engineers on their part said that they stood for the principle of the open shop" but that being in the majority the grievance committee was naturally composed of Brotherhood men and that firemen had nothing to do with engineers or with their griev- ances. This. incidentally. was an opin- ion in which some of the fircmen shared themselves. As one said when the dis cussion was at it's hottest. Why should I. drawing my S2 day, fight for men getting twice as much?" The engi- ncers clinched their argument by stat ing that as they had always kept their half of the agreement they expected the company to keep its. This the company made very evident that 1t in tended to do and the firemen fell back upon Inc pacific policy of conferences with the engineers.
 The presentation of grievances. about which the New Haven men have debated so long, is vital problem in railroading where. as in an army. an officer who is SO disposed. can do much to make life misera ble for every one under him. Recognizing that the safe " of the travelling public is dependent upon absolute discipline. the Brother hood has never made an attempt to hamper the company's officials in any way. On the contrary it has thrown into the scale all the weight nf its own
