BASEBALL WAR on the PACIFIC COAST

gone back east after recent un-
successful effort to bring about
peace, but they have left behind
a lot of base ball men who are
eager for the fray. President
Frank Herman of the outlaw
league says:
1--WE are ready for whatever
comes along. This light IS not of
our making. We are paying for
all our players. The big leagues
come along and want us to enter
the ranks of organized base ball.
We could not see where we were
going to gain anything by such a
move, so we have decided to stay
out. That is all there is to it."

81 was never an advocate of
harsh measures with umpires, ="
lsays Eli Gates, the Washington
pitcher. ''Umpires remind me of
dogs and horses in one respect;
you can get so much more out of
them by love and kindness than
by brutality. Diplomacy, how
ever, is the real medium to in
duce an arbitrator to come to
your point of view on disputed
subjects.
when 1 was playing with
Oakland in the Pacific Coast
league, we went to Seattle for a
series near the close of the sea-

turned cold and we nearly froze

first and the score was still 4 to

Seattle in the race and wanted
the game. So we begged the UNI

have It on the best of author
itv that information has been re-
ceived by American Federation of
Labor officials that the manufac-
turers' association, following up
the advantages gained in securing
verdict for damages in the cell
ebrated hatters' case and in OBJ
tanning sentences of imprisonment
in the Buck Stove & Range case
for Gompers, Mitchell and Morri-
son, intend to proceed against
several other labor organizations
by suing them for damages and
restraining them frob boycotting.
Secretary Lawlor of the hatters,
whose headquarters are in New
York, informs me that the Loewe
cast will cost them several hun
dred thousand dollars before the
final court entry is made some
time next spring. The officers of
the National Association of Man
ufacturers are fully aware of the
tremendous financial burdens
they are able to pile upon the
labor organizations by dragging
them into court, and their policy
is to cripple the unions and dis
rupt them If possible by forcing
the dissipation of their funds in
legal proceedings.
Whatever may be the plans of
the employers banded together to
destroy organized labor, they can
look for two very important de-
velopments, viz: Increased agita-
ton for secret, oath-bound organ
izations among the workers, and
increased activity to seize control
of the political club with which
to batter down those whom one
doesn't like.
Up to about year ago the av-
erage American was separated by
a good many thousand miles from

there are nearly 10000 of him in,
and about Vancouver. And,
what's more, he likes the North
American continent and is going
to remain and invite his thou
sands of relatives and friends to
join him.
The Hindu is the cheapest of al
Asiatic laborers, working for les
than the Chinaman. Quite natura
ly, when the first batch of thess
|Orientals arrived in Vancouve"
last year, there was a riot. The
whites feared that they would BE-
dragged down to the Hindu leve,
in the competitive Tabor market"
and their fears were well founded.
The Orientals are receiving about
one-half the average wages paid
American laborers for turning out
nearly the same amount of work,
and they think they are rapidly
getting rich.
1t was foreshadowed in this pa
per some time ago that the marine
trades, despite the bitter rivalry
among some of the leaders, were
going to form a huge federation
that would embrace all workers
afloat and 'longshore, on the
lakes, the rivers, the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and the gulf Of
Mexico.
Conferences are being held be-
tween representatives of the vari-
Gus crafts to arrange details of
the proposed merger, and it lis
probable that by the time navi-
cation opens in the spring fedora
ton will be practically accomp-
lished. Upward of a hundred
thousand men will be included in
the alliance at the start and the.
number will be considerably augd
mented later.
Here is another predictions: The
marine workers of America will
before long join worlds feder-
alton that will have a combined
strength of upward of a million
men.
