SQUARED THE BALL TEAM.
Cincinnati unionists Won BY Sticking
to Their Little Fight.

From the beginning of the Ameri-
can League season the union men OF
Cincinnati have had the boycott on
the Cincinnati team because the man.
agement failed to play square with
organized labor. The management tried
to make it appear that the boycott
was benefit, just as Jim VanCleave
Of the Buck outfit did. BUT the Cincin-
natl unionists called that bluff. Gin
cinnati unionists love baseball as
much. perhaps, as the unionists of
other cities, but they didn't love it
well enough to sidetrack their union
ism, and they put up fight that won.
Last Tuesday the Cincinnati manage
ment capitulated and signed an agree
ment that shows signal victory for
the nnionists.
The. agreement provides that all
contracts for tearing down construc-
ton, or repairs of parks shall contain
clause requiring the employment Of
union labor exclusively and all print
ed matter shall bear the union label.
All cigars and tobacco sold within the
park must also bear the union label.
Further. the agreement provides
that on some Sunday during the sea-
son the Cleveland club must play an
exhibition game with another Ameri-
can league club and the proceeds t.
be devoted to charity to be desig
mated by the Cleveland building trades
council.

not back UP on its boycott, and as a
result even the Cincinnati score cards
