Organized labor has won a victory
in its extensive boycott of the Cleve-
land baseball club. The boycott has
been in operation since the opening of
the season. Last week President Ban
Johnson of the American baseball
league signed closed shop contracts for
all clubs This calls for union labor
on the tearing down, repair or con-
struction of ball parks of the American
league. The boycott was declared be-
cause nonunion labor was employed on
the new park in Cleveland.
