Federal League Season Is Closing
First Year Encouraging.

The Chicago Federal League team
wound up its local. schedule yester-
day with a double win over Indian
apolis, the coming champions of the
organization. Sunday ends the
schedule for the first year, Chicago
playing Kansas City in final game.
Success has attended the efforts
of the promoters of the new circuit.
Crowds have not been tremendous,
but there has been enough interest
to encourage the promoters to make
elaborate preparations. for next sea-
son. The league will probably be ex-,
panded into an eight-club affair, two
more Association cities being added.
St. Louis lost money with team
in third place. But the Feds didn't
lose nearly the bunch of change that

ed to the benefit of the newcomers.
One Sunday game in Indianapolis
drew $4,000 people.
There is plenty OF room for the
new league. The magnates did not
start out with a top-heavy salary list
and teams made up of broken-down
big leaguers. Youngsters were taken
from semi-pro circles and the smaller
leagues, with an idea Of development.
Good players have been uncovered.
Taken in its entirety, and consid-
ering the obstacles encountered, the
initial season of the Federals has
been a success. There is no reason
why it should not advance next year
if the magnates stick to their process
of gradual expansion.

Considerable free and undeserved
advertising was given yesterdays
Cub-Brooklyn game. Nearly every
paper in town announced Ed .Reul-
bach as the probable pitcher. and s.
900 people went to the park. A good
share were attracted by the promise
of Reulbach. Bid Ed didn't appear.
In justice to the two arrangements,
it must be said that ReuIbach had
not been officially announced. The
experts were guessing. But the fans
got their moneys worth.

Cobb and Helm, Prop,

When Bob Picken was out to Spo-
kane last week he brought up a car
load of thoroughbred Holstein cows
which he will dispose of to the farm
ers in the vicinity of Tonasket Mr..
Picken is working earnestly to arouse
interest in dairying, and the recent
investment in a superior grade Of
cows is for the purpose of boosting
that industry. Dairying is destined
to be very important source Of
revenue for the land owners of this
valley, and the sooner they improve
their stock and arrange for producing
cream in quantities the sooner will
they enjoy an increased income.

sUNDRY CIVIL BILL.

Washington, d. c., May 19.-Up to
the time of the closing of the forms
for this issue of the Weekly News
Letter the Sundry Civil bill is still
under the prospects that a vote will
be had before the session closes. The
discussion is being had almost who'll
ly upon the provisions in the bill pro-
hibiting the expenditure of any of
the money appropriated to the legal
department of the government in the
prosecution of labor organizations
and farmers unions. Labor is being
defended in its position by one of the
labor group. Senator Hughes of New
Jersey, as well as other senators.
while. of course, the provisions are
being opposed by other senator. The
outlook Is that the bill win be passed
with the proviso included. and in
this event the bill will then go to
the President for his signature. it
having already passed the house.

LEAvEx OF SHORTER HOURS.

Newport News, Va, May 19.-On
the last pay day at the Newport
News Ship Building and Dry Dock
Company a notice was placed in the
pay envelope of each workman, which
in part, says. After careful consid-
GRAFTON the company has voluntarily
decided to reduce the working hours
of the yard, until further notice, to
nine hour basis, Saturday after
noon off. making a week of 20 work
ing hours. This applies TO workmen
except those engaged exclusively on
eight-hour contracts. The hourly
rate will be increased on April 80 so
that men working so hours per week
will receive the same average weekly
pay as they do now" The influences
of the organized labor movement are
not all credited to 1t, but this is one
instance where organized labor has
surely made itself felt. The eight
hour day is the normal work day, and
year by year large concerns employ
ing many workmen are realizing that
the shorter weekday must eventually
come and are meeting this sentiment
by granting TO their employees the
reasonable workday. The eight
hour law that applies to government
work, which was strengthened dur
ing the last session of congress, is
undoubtedly responsible for the an
nouncement made by this company
as this concern has the contract to
build the battleship Pennsylvania.

OFFER COMPROMISE.

Kansas City. May 1.-THE Mas
ter Painters Association has made
an offer of soc per hour to the paint
ers who are on strike, but it has been
declined. The men are on strike
for rate of G0c per hour, and con-
slider that under the present condi-
tion of living this is a fair rate. The
Master Painters Association has been
broken into by some of the master
painters signing the new agreement.
and II is believed that there are sew
eral others who are about to sign
the new agreement. For this reason
It is considered that the strike will

that the division of such plants into
