Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1913-01-09

New York, Jan. 9.-0Special.) Fol
lowing weeks of preparation the great
est strike in the clothing industry in
this city was declared early on Monday
morning, Dec. 80, and over $4,000 gar
ment workers responded to the appeal
to fight for better industrial conditions.
AS early as o'clock on Monday
morning thousands gathered at the
Clinton Hall headquarters prepared to
enter the struggle with determination
to win.
Fifteen hundred "red scouts" were
formed into committee to issue the
proclamation to all the shops in this
city calling upon every man and every
woman employed in the trade to go
out on strike. The proclamation,
which was published in a special edi--
ton of the NeY Era. the official or
gan of the tradA was printed on red
paper, and was circulated by the hun
dreds of thousands. The entire East
Side and every section of Greater New
York where garment workers dwell
were covered by the scouts, and the
PROCLAMATION was given the widest pub
lieity. 1t was printed in English, Yid-
dish and Italian.
The proclamation is, in the main, as
follows:
~Lay away your shears! Stop the
wheels of your machines! Put away
your pressing irons! Throw away
your needles
'Let there not be heard in the shops
today a ring or sound! Let no one
pass. the threshold of shop or fac
tory Let stiffness reign today in
those places where you have wasted
your best years and sacrificed your
lives! This is a general strike of the
entire industry! The tailor has de
clared war! War for freedom and
bread!
"What has long been awaited is now
here. The anguished, exploited and
downtrodden tailor has awakened.

lin? II he continued TO shoot the ball

now, he would make two double faults
out Of every three trials. which would
mean all the receiver would have 70

Loughlin would hand him the game

On the other hand, II McLoughiin
did not use his fast service, his op-
ponent would Immediately have the

lesser speed put on the ball. the serv-
er would not be able to take the net

One-BaH Service Would Kill Game of Maurice
Mclaughlin and Other American Tennis Experts

But what would happen to Nc
Loughlin's game IL small compared
to that which would develop In the
case OF other players of prominence.
Bundy uses the fast reverse service.
His first ball goe., into the receivers
court not cftencr than once out OF
three times. In his. match games he
Is guilty Of many double faults, which
pulls his average doYn to less than
once out Of five times for his first
trial That means that II he had only
one shot at the receivers court he
had just as well give the game on his
service to his opponents before start
ing II.
Norris Williams Is probably the
most erratic server OF any ranking
player in this country. Time and
again in tournament matches he
throws away games on his service
when he might win with q little care.
The one-ball service would be de-. tn
to his service game. as he requires
two shots TO place the ball good"
nine times out Of ten.
Not only would the individual OF
this country ruin his game II such
rule as the one mentioned were
passed by the tennis committee on
rules. but the American players would
lose all chance of keeping the Davis
cup In their possession.
At present foreign racket experts
are far more skilled in service than
Americans. BY that we mean that
they get more first balls in and serve
a far less number OF double faults.

The game was very fast. The To-
ronto club outskated the Detroit for

at the Detroit goal. but a new man
in the net, DETECTION, proved worthy
OF the Toronto skill. Playing fine
game he kept the visitors scoring
down, while the Detroit oifense sue

startling regularity.

While the chances for revision OF
lawn tennis rules In this country, pro
viding for the service on only one ball
instead OF two, is highly improbable,
II was suggested to the members of
the American Lawn Tennis associa-
ton.
To say that tennis with q one-bail
service would be- radically changed Is
putting the millest construction on
the matter.
II the one-ball rule were put into
effect the game would be entirely
changed. IL other words, the receiver
would have the advantage and II
would be seen that the turning point
of set would hang upon the winning
