before the concessions were let
Manager Holmes has stated to The
Wageworker that he was sorry for
tie oversight, and has assured this
paper that next seasons concessions
contract will not only stipulate that
only labeled printing shall be used on
the ground, but that ony labeled
cigars will be sold.
Some of the printers seem to have
taken offense at the too rabid utter
Manager Holmes and are holding
Holmes responsible therefore. The
Wageworker thinks Holmes was re-
miss in not insisting upon the label,
but certainly it was the business OF
the allied trades to look into the mat
ter before the work was done.
However, as enthusiastic fan"
as Eye editor" is willing to abide by
the resolution of the Typographical
Union until it is rescinded, but he re-

W
ager Holmes.
A couple of new members were
voted into the union at the Sunday
meeting. 1t was unanimously decided
to increase the fund set aside for the
delegates, and as result Messrs. In
graham and Radebauch will go in
state. The report of the executive
committee on the visit of Organizer
Brady was received with applause,
and the printers now feel that they
have achieved something tangible as
result of the long months of sacri-
flee.

SAFETY A RIGHT.

Workmen Last Year.

Railroads and Factories Killed 1920
Workmen Last Year.
Last year 919 lives were lost in the
mills, factories and mines at Pitts
burg, Pa. In the same time 1861
employees were killed by the railroads
in this country This represents in
dustrial manslaughter and gives point
to President Roosevelt's plea for auto
matte liability for the injury of en-
ployes without recourse to the de-
tense of contribrtory negligence.
In England workmen's compensa-
ton act, holding employers to strict
liability for accident arising out of
and in the course of employment, Z
went into effect July 1. Under the
sweeping provisions of this law a
workman contracting a disease in his
masters employ, housemaid injur-
ing her knee while lighting fire, an
actor spraining his ankle on the stage

ages. Curates and choir boys come

TO THE LOSING TEAM.

Full many a toast is penned to the team
that loses day by day,
And many song is sung to the club
that wins out in the fray,
But never word of praise is said Of the
team that's In the rear,
And never a bit of blarney or a Jolly
boost of cheer.
So here's a snatch of rhyme to the boys
who play on the losing team,
A little slip of song to the chaps who
drifting down the stream
Some day they'll play on a winning club
and list to the noisy cheers,
When the whooping Of the bleacherites
will be music to their ears
So here's a bit of song to the team that
loses day by day,
With a hope that the time may soon roll
round when they'll carry the flag
away.

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
Gets Busy in a Label Campaign and
Offers Some Prizes.


The Typographical Union met last
Sunday, and among other business
transacted was one referring to the
label and having for it's object boost
ing of the label campaign. The fol-
lowing resolution was adopted after
a strenuous debate
Resolved, That a fine of 50 be
levied against all members of this
union attending league ball games at
Antelope park, and that one dollar OF
such fine be paid to the member CIV
ing information leading to the appre-
hension and conviction of such at
tendant.
Some of the "thirty-third degree
fans" demurred at the sweeping reso-
luton, but it went through.
Then it was decided to offer prizes
for label boosting and for that pur.
pose $40 was set aside for use during
the month of August, the money to
be divided into prizes as follows
| First To the journeyman in good
standing turning in to the secretary.

the largest number of articles OF
printed matter of local application not
bearing the allied label the sum of S.
Second: To the one turning in the
next largest number the sum of So.
Third: To the one turning in the
third largest number the sum of 81.
That no greater number than ten

| That the provisions of the above be
extended to the members of the
Ladies' Auxiliary.
That the secretary notify the Off
GERS of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
above action.
The boycott of the baseball games
is, in The Wageworker's belief, an in
justice to Manager Holmes. The
score cards were let as a part of the
concessions secured by Joe Open
heimer, and the work. has been done
at the Gillespie-Phillips shop. The
cards were all printed at the begin
ming of the season with the exception

Phillips shop is entitled to the union
label, but under the terms of his con
tract Mr.. Homes has no jurisdiction
over the matter. 1t is true that he
might have nominated it in the bond
that the printing should bear the label
hut it was equally the business of the
allied printing trades to look into the
matter and confer with Mr.. Holmes

BARRIERS WILL PICNIC.
Lincoln Local Will Spend Whole
Day at Epworth Park.

The union BARRIERS of Lincoln are
preparing for some "big doings" on

take their wives and children, or their
sweethearts, as the case may be, and

Nothing small about the union bar
bers They invite all their friends
who carry union cards to picnic with
them. There will be an admission fee
of 10 cents charged at the gate, but
that admits to everything, including
dinner-if you carry a paid-up union
card and show it. There will be an

lie union made, too.
This isn't the first time the BARRIERS
have picnicked. They had one last
year, and it proved such success
that the boys could hardly. wait an
other year SO they could have another.
And this one will beat last years for
the reason that they have learned a
lot by experience.
The union BARRIERS are going to OBJ
serve Labor Day, too. They did not
last year, and they have regretted
it ever since So this year they are
going to close up at noon, sharp, and
in the afternoon and evening they are
going to enjoy themselves with the
rest of the unionists at Antelope park.

PITCHING ESSENTIALS
Manager Hanlon Sums Them Up In a
Few Terse Sentences.

Manager Hanlon, of Cincinnati, the
other day in the course of discus
sion on the new Cincinnati pitcher,
Fred Smith, late of Terre Haute,
spoke unreservedly of the qualities
essential to successful pitcher.
Speaking of Smith, Manager Hanlon
admitted that he had neither the
speed of a Rusie nor the curves of a
Fraser. But he has a good change
OF pace" Hanlon added, "a nice as
sortment Of curves and good control.
These are the qualities that will make
him successful, I think" Manager
Hanlon's ideas of the pitcher who sue
ceeds are summed up in these terse
sentences:
HE must have . fair change of
pace"
HE must be able to put the ball
where he wants it."
/ "And he must know how to mix
them up"
Those are the essentials of . sue
cessful pitcher to-day"
In conclusion, Mr.. Hanlon said: I'm
my opinion two of the greatest pitchers
that ever lived were Dumping Nc.

nary speed, but they knew just where
every ball they pitched was going
and that counted for more than any
physical superiority either may have
shown in his work. This boy Smith
seems to be built on the same lines
as these men. He has the batsmen
guessing all the time, instead of the
batsmen having him figuring. The re
suit is that he has been getting away
with his efforts nicely since he Joined
the Reds, and believe he'll get bet
ter as his acquaintance with the bis
league batsmen ripens. 1t certainly
would be sweet to develop another Nc
Mahon or Dwyer, for there are too
few of them in the game these days.

Element of all troubles. Some time
ago the Manufacturers Association
announced that after August LIST its
members would no longer use the
label of the United Hatters in their
hats.
The officers of the National Onion
requested the manufacturers to re-
consider their decision and asked for
a conference to discuss the question.
The conferences of the past week fol-
lowed.
The result was an official with
drawal by the manufacturers yester-
day afternoon of their former notice
concerning the use of the label, and
an agreement to continue placing the
label in all union made hats.
The hatters and the union move
ment generally are to be congratulated
upon the decision made in this case.

NAMED. He was secured last winter
by Springfield in trade and has made
wonderful record since, batting
around 1926 and fielding sensationally.
He is especially fast in handling hunts
and he is among the fastest in the
league in base running. Doyle was
recommended SO highly by Dan
Brouthers, the veteran scout, that
New York decided to pay the fancy
price demanded by Springfield. Sew

was decided not to take chances of
losing him by waiting until the draft

The number of suicides among
women increased az a rate far in ex-

which is generally regarded here as
evidence OF the deteriorating innu-
ence which competition and the con.

territory embraced In what Is known
as the arid regions Of the United
States covers 6OO,OOO.O 900 acres. OF
which about 6O.OOO.OOO acres are
subject TO irrigation. which when
