at an end Jim McAleer will have come
to an agreement with the local club
owners whether he will sign the three

that he will make Washington his per-

Furthermore, unless Farrell has made
up his mind to depose Chase, regard

the head of the team. it will be wise
for him to wait until the season is
over before making any change. To

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, September, cs.-The status
of the row in regard to the starting
date for the worlds series between the
Athletics and the Chicago National
League team remains in exactly the same
position as it was yesterday. and the
probabilities are that there will be moth
ing definite known until after the ma
tional commission has thrashed out the
subject. That august body is scheduled
to get together next Monday, when the
knotty problem will be disposed of Just
at present Stanley Robson, owner of the
st. Louis Cardinals, seems to be the GEN.
ter of attraction, and a word from him
on the subject would settle the much
mooted question.
Stanley Robson when interviewed on
the subject has not shown any inclination
to change the schedule to permit of the
game being played on Friday instead of
by SO doing and has a perfect right to
stand pat and demand the game to be
played as scheduled by the National
League authorities.
The only alternative left is for the win
ners in the American and National
Leagues to start the worlds series at
Chicago Sunday, October 49, or at Phila-
delphia. Monday, October lie The games
can be postponed until some later time,
but that would not prove of advantage to
anybody and might shove the game along
so far to conflict with bad weather, which
all acknowledge should be avoided
While the naming of the date of the
opening game of the big series is bother
ing the base ball fans not a little, Charles
w. Murphy, owner of the Cubs, is not
losing bit Of sleep in worrying over the
action Of Stanley Robson or the national
commission. Connie Mack also showed
plainly while here for the White Sox
series that he is not worrying over the
matter.

GOMPERS SCORES PRESIDENT
ON HIS RECENT ADDRESS
Declares it Unfortunate Taft Carries
Former Attitude to Labor
Into OFFICE.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-When
the speech of President Taft to the
business men of South Bethlehem
was called to the attention Of Pres
ident Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, he said:
The presidents utterance to the
delegation of business men of Bethle-
hem who were coerced by the Beth
lehem Steel company, is but confirm
atory as well as disappointing. Dis
appointing that he would carry his
former attitude toward labor to the
logical conclusion, regardless of un-
DERIVING causes, confirmatory of his
terial issue in which the real inter-
ests of labor was involved.
According to the presidents posi-
ton, it is not the governments con-
Germ how brutally and inhumanely
the workers of concern are treat
ed; it matters not whether American
workers of concern are treated; it
matters not whether American work
ers are displaced by the lowest ele-
ments of foreign labor-coolie, ia
panese or Slav-it is simply a ques-
ton of product. So long as the pro-
duct is acceptable, the producers may
do as they please.
''The president stands pat on the
tariff on products from foreign coun-
tries and stands equally pat on the
free trade in labor from all chimes and
under any conditions"
The committee representing the
business men also called upon the
secretary Of war and navy, practically
repeating what they had said to the
president.
committee representing the stri-
king employees of the steel plant ar
rived in Washington today and will
go to the White House tomorrow.
