the line at Manitou on Dominion Day,
This is one of the way from home games

the team when they play against Winni-

Last evenings game the seventh one
played by Langdon in the past week was
tie of to 6 when the game was called
in the eighth inning owing to darkness.
Dresden and Wales were the visiting
combination of players and proved to be
strong one. The game was one of the
most interesting played on the home
grounds this season.
Egeland is one of the leading ball
teams playing over the northern part
of the state during this season and
it is matter of regret that weather in
terfered with the double header of
games to have been played here last
Thursday. Egeland has played seven
games to date and last Sunday lost it's
first game to Rock Lake by score of
l to 0. Agame between Langdon and
Egeland ought to draw a crowd, and
it is hoped they will cross bats before
the season closes.

In slow game Monday, Langdon
won Que of double. header from Wales.
The nine innings lasted within five
minutes of two hours and was an uphill
climb with both teams keeping the score
pretty much at tie from start to finish.
The final story of the game was score
of 10 to 8. Wales had streng thened up
its team for the occasion, playing Teigen
the Egeland pitcher; KERN, their
catcher, belonging to Dresden. Two
other familiar faces to Langdon fans we're
Stenwick and Fox who played in Wales
infeld instead of Langdon's, for
change. In the evening game the cool
ness of June night seemed to tune up
the Wales assortment of picked players
as they began to liven up and put it
over us with score of 5 to 4. 1t was
tied several times and both pitchers hit
f, frequently. Good fielding was the
feature of an otherwise uninteresting
game.

DISTINCT LABOR UPLlFT
Several Recent Laws Signifi-
cant, Says DR.. Andrews.

Labor laws enacted this year by Con-
gress and by state legislatures have been
compiled by the American Association
for Labor Legislation into an elaborate
and authoritative bulletin, which has just
been issued in this city.
"Of special significance in the labor
legislation of the year are two Massachu-
setts laws, one providing for minimum
wage boards and the other for reorgani-
cation Of factory inspection says the
secretary Of the association, DR.. John b.
Andrews. More stringent laws in sew
eral states. requiring reporting OF indus
trial accidents and diseases, and the en-
actment OF workmen's compensation
measures by four additional states, Ari-
zona, Michigan. Rhode Island and Mary
land, are also OF first importance.
Federal labor legislation is noticeaoly
increasing in volume, and Congress this
year enlarged the scope of the eight hour
and the government employees accident
compensation measures OF more than
ordinary significance too. are the prohi-
bition Of poisonous phosphorus matches
through the use Of the federal taxing
power. and the authorization Of an in
dustrial relations commission"
In Congress alone this year no less
than three hundred labor bills were in
troduced.
