ABSTEIN FILLS BILL AT FIRST

Pittsburs's Weak Spot For Many
Years Being Held Down In Splendid
Shape by Younsster Miller and
9arbeau Have Made Good.
Are the Pittsburg Pirates going to
keep up the rapid pace they have been
setting for the past month or so, or are
hey going to experience a big slump
which will pun them down from the
high position they now occupy? Both
Managers Chance Of the Cubs and Nc
Graw of New York have been quoted
as saying that they expect tc catch
tic Buccaneers of their stride and
overtake them. The two pilots claim
that the Pirates have been playing be-
yond their real gait. and that they are
pound to suffer a severe setback be-
fore the campaign is much older, and
that then their teams would forge to-.
the front. They advance In support OF
their arguments that no team can go
through the season without suffering a
slump.
Judging from past seasons. this IS all
very true. but the Pirates had their
slump the first two or three weeks Of
the season. and they did not strike
their real stride until shortly before
they started on their first eastern trip.
Since then they have been going we'll.
bat few will admit that the team has
been travelling too fnst-that is, at /
gait TOO rapid to be maintained through
out tie season.
Viewing tho situation calmly, 1t Is
difficult to see why the Pirates should
fall down. While they have been play
Ing grand ball right along. there has
been no really phenomenal work In
streaks. No member Of the team has
been batting Mt clip which he should
1ot improve upon as the season ad
vances, with the exception Of Honus
Wagner. who cannot be expected to hit
any better thar he has been doing, but
who Is likely to keep .rt the top Of the
heap during the entire season.

his present gait. and Miller. the. Pl-.
rates second sacker IS likely to hit
more consistently as he gains ex-
perlence. Bill Abstein IS a dangerous
batsman at all times. He may not
have percentage above the 800 mark
when the season ends, but he Is likely
to be pretty close to that mark. He
has been hitting in timely fashion all
season and has been q prominent fac
tor in many Of the contests which have
resulted in victories for Clarke's crew:
Moreover, the pitching is almost GER
tain to be better from this out. With

Buccaneers will have staff Of slab

Will be just steady, winning per-

1t is safe to assume that If Pitts
burg can go through the present month
and maintain Its place at the top OF
the ladder it Will be mighty hard to
pull the club down thereafter unless
accidents play havoc with the lineup.

One more step has been taken

cuIltallSt SYSTEM "nlcn must
necessarily carry with it, as. ulti-
mate result, the international con-
solidation Of the labor movement.
SO far as the Western Hemis-
phere is concerned. the Standard
OH Company has long enjoyed a
practical monopoly Of the produc-
ton of petroleum and all it's num-
erous aud important products and
by-products. For years it has
been gradually extending its oper-
ations ACROSS the oceans to Europe
and to Asia and Australia.
At one time it was threatened
Russian competition. But this
danger was soon ended by the
classification Of the Russian COM
panies and the conclusion Of an
agreement by which the American
and the Russian trust divided the
world market between them on
terms advantageous to both, but
especially advantageous to the
Rockefeller combine, which, being
the stronger at the start, was able
to demand the lionS's share in the
bargain.
The only hope of rival refiners
was in the product Of the extern
rive oil fields of Galicia. Austrian
and German manufacturers drew
from the Galician wells supply
of petroleum which enabled them
to keep up at least Il limited COM
petition with the two great mo.
nopolies.
And now comes the news that
the Standard OH Company has
taken advantage of the Galician
oiI-owners' lack of capital to de-
velop and control their wells and
has driven d hard bargain with
them, by which it is assured of
the control of half the Gp.lician
product and gets d heavy toll upon
the remainder-a toll which is
very likely to make it impossible
for the Galicians to continue in the
game ut all.
The Standard Oil Company is of
course only one of the American
industrial trusts which have al
ready attained international pro.
PORTIONS. Tho Consolidated To.
hlcco Company is an equally strik.
ing example, and there are many
others.
At the same time American
capitalists are continually invest
ing part Of their surplus in the
stocks and bonds of European cor
porhtions or in South America,
African. and Asiatic concessions
which they hold Jointly with the
hnancieis OF England, France,
G"rmauy, and Belgium. British
and Continental capitalists, in
turn, are constantly investing a
part of their surplus in the
securities Of American companies.
The statist, for instance, esti.
mates the British holdings of
American railway securities alone
at no less than three billions of
dollars.
The time is rapidly passing
when the labor question could
rightly be considered as an issue
between the workingmen of any
particular country and the capital
lists of the same country. TO a
very great extent. and to an ever
Increasing extent, it is true that
the surplus value extracted from
the underpaid labor of the work
ing class of the United States is
divided among the capitalists OF
The whole civilized world and that,
Oh the other hand, the unearned
incomes of the American capitalists
are drawn from the expl citation OF
The working class of every nation

who is inspecting the Georgia state
troops Oh the part OF the state and
the national government, visited the
company and held the annual inspec-
ton
