To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
l. Can a man be put out on the hid
den-ball trick if the pitcher is in the
box? 2. Can a batter step from one
side of the plate to another while the
pitcher is In the box? 3. Can a runner
be touched out by the baseman's
empty hand. provided he holds the
ball in the other hand.
1. The ~hidden-ball trick cannot be
worked on a runner if the pitcher has
taken his position In the box. In that
case it is a balk and the runner is
entitled to advance. When this trick
is tried the pitcher must be careful not
to assume his regular pitching position
before the deed is pulled off. 2. The
batter cannot step from one side of the
plate to the other after the pitcher is
in his box with the ball in his hand.
8. A runner Is not out If touched by
a baseman with his empty hand. He
must be touched with the hand hold
ing the ball.-Ed.

A PEACEFUL STRIKE.
Leatherworkers on Horse Goods Made
Conditions Better.

One of the most peaceful strikes on
record was conducted by the United
Brotherhood of Leather Workers on
Horse Goods in their efforts to gain
the eight hour day. During the entire
period of cessation of work no dis
turbances are recorded
The hours of employment in the
saddlery industry prior to the strike
varied from nine to ten, and the wages
the lowest received by any skilled
mechanics. The average yearly wage
being less than $1,000 per week.
While their efforts to establish the
eight hour day proved unsuccessful,
nevertheless, it resulted in putting in
to effect a universal nine hour day.
Notwithstanding the peaceful atti-
tude of the Leather Workers during the
entire trouble they were bitterly OPP
posed by the National Saddlery Manu-
facturers' Association, who declared
early in the strike that their doors
would be forever barred to members
CT the brotherhood. This. however,
only had the effect Of making the men
all the more determined, and they de-
cided rather than submit to such over
bearing tyrants they would leave the
trade, and no less than 1000 secured
employment at other occupations.
The Saddlery Association in order
to get even decided to hire boys and
unskilled labor and teach them the
trade in three or four weeks; this how
ever. proved a dismal failure and the
individual firms began to break over
and offered a compromise of nine hours
with substantial increase in wages,
which was accepted by the brother
hood.
There are still a few firms holding
out to their own detriment. An officer
of the Brotherhood recently stated that
they have only a small number of men
still on strike, but that they felt con
fdent that when business picks up
they will also make terms with the
organization, and a universal nine hour
day will be the result of their efforts.
