GAGGED
BY RICH
The Rev. Hugh Wallace Charges
That Girls Slave in Moral
and Physical Peril.

The Rev. Hugh S. Wallace. pastor
Of the Jones Avenue Baptist Church,
Monday gave out caustie statement
criticising the church for its failure
to tackle and remedy what he terms
"deplorable labor conditions in At
lanta, particularly as affecting work.
ing women and girls His attack fol-
lowed a scathing denunciation from
his pulpit Sunday night, based on his
own investigation.
The Rev. Mr.. Wallace made the
direct charge that. the mouths of
some. preachers are "padlocked by
rich factory owners who sing and
pray in church on Sunday. sHsf Their
go out on Monday to oppressand rob
the poor people who laborkfor them"
II minister sought to Or the truth
about labor conditions and engage in
a fight for their bettefment, the rich
Il
factory owners would advise him to
look for another Jos, said Mr.. wal
lace. Sk
Here is his statement:
Declares Church 10 Sleeping.
The Church Of God has so com.
pletely slept on its job that the strug-
Cling labor masses have been forced
to organize to preserve their very
existence. II the church had done it's
duty in preaching the great truths Of
Gods Word on this burning question
there would have been no need for
any outside organization taking up
the work. But there are reasons why
the church has not taken up this
fight.
"One is that In many Of our rich
churches there sit members in the
pews who come there and pray and
sing on Sunday and go out on Mon
day morning to Cypress and rob the
poor people who labor for them. Such
church-with such oppressors of
the poor in her membership and in
her pews-could not speak out on
this question.
IF the preacher dared to tell
Brother A. the rich factory owner
who sits in his congregation, that he
Is robber. an oppressor of the poor;
that he is stealing from those who
work for him, then Brother A would
tell the preacher that he would have
to stop that kind of preaching or
look for another pastorate. l say,
God have mercy on the preachers in
Atlanta who are letting the rich fac
tory owners put padlocks on their
mouths.
Pastor to Continue Attack.
Il propose to preach on this same
question again soon, and I invite all
those who are interested in this great
question to come out and hear the
facts that 1 shall present"
From statistics he had obtained. the
minister showed that women and girls
are compelled to toll day after day
for a mere pittance wholly made
quate to provide the necessities CT
life, and that. furthermore. their lives
are constantly imperiled by insanita-
ry and unsafe working surroundings.
Numerous illustrations were cited to
pack his charges,
One of these told of a woman who
labored four days on one Job of max
ing skirts and was paid rs cents. An
other woman made seven dozen gar
ments and had to do the work all
over again because the seam was a
bit too wide, She received $1.50. Ons
woman worked two days in one week
and then quit because she could bet.

Now, although the hitting was very
free by both the Giants and Reds, and
there were punched hits off both

Those old veterans are either true

Loss of Hill and Gurtz to Texas League

Club-Western Teams Are
strengthened.


FL Paso's baseball club is to be recon
structed. According 20 the manag cement
of the Mavericks, negotiations have
been entered for several players from
the Texas league and other circuits in
an endeavor to boost Ell Paso stock
from second place to the leading berth.
The team mas been weakened a good
deal of late, and the shift which Tom
my Smith was compelled to make on
the recent road trip broke up the strong
infield, which was reputed to be the
best in the league. Hard luck for the
losers end has been the share of the
Mavericks on the last two series, as
all the games have been the one score
variety
All three teams on the western swing
have taken an unexpected brace, and
strengthened by acquisitions from the
eastern and western leagues, they are
playing a better brand of ball now.
Hurley is especially strong in the
Leld, and is improving with each game.
The great pitching staff of the Santa
Rita DiggerS has carried them through
thus far, putting Santa Rita at the
head of the league.
FL PasO has been weakened at second
base because of the advent of GurtZ
in the Texas league, with the Beaumont
Oilers Gurtz is the steadiest and fast
est second baseman, who has appeared
at Washington park this season.
GurtZ left for Beaumont Monday
night to join the Oilers in an effort to
reach there in time to join in he defence
against the invasion of the Waco Navi-
gators and Cliff Hill. The action OF
the New Mexico trip was appreciated
by the FL Paso fans.
A crowd accompanied Gurtz to the
union station, and gave him a sendOff.

] of Johnny COulon- The kid IS prac-
tically the bantam champion of France
! now, having defeated Charles Ledoux,
the recognized champion Of Europe, in
Is rounds. at the Vernon arena just
outside of Los Angeles. According to
AN reports the little Frenchman put up
a remarkably good fight and never
fHnched In the hottest mlXupS. The
only regret is that the bout should be
awarded to the Baltimore boy on a
questionable blow. LedOuX went down
in the 18th round from what appeared
to the referee a. clean body punch, but
the Frenchman claimed it was a foul
blow and as he did not respond to the
call at the end of the 10 second count
the decision was given to Williams.
It proved that LedOuX is no false
alarm and that another battle between
the. two viii probably be demanded by
the Frenchman's manager. First, how
ever, Williams VIII meet Eddie Campi,
the clever coast bantam, in a return
match, for the fans there believe that

mean business and do not seek a lot
of notoriety at his expense. I will not
say that all the money is mine, nor
Duffyis, but we have the sum to wager

The chances are that Richie will be
with either Leach Cross or

aspirants. including Jack Britton, Pal

and all such foOlishness. but the score
of 4 to in favor Of the Giants shows
conclusively that both the oldtimers
pitched the kind Of ball-the hardy
sort-that has brought to them their

The Giants were credited with max

Reds tore off II from Matty's delivery.
And there you are.
To my mind when pitchers can hold
opponents to that small number of runs

both were, the art and science of
pitching is brought down to its finest
point.
And both veterans used the judg-
