WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 9s.
The fate of the democratic
party in the coming fall elections
will very probably be largely de-
cided from the results OF the fight
now imminent In The house. For
the first time the Wilson admin
istration is faced with a real in
surgent movement In the party
over the clause In the proposed
antitrust laws dealing with or
ganized labor. The break be-
tween the two groups is now COM
plete. Representative Henry d..
Clayton of Alabama, chairman Of
the judiciary committee, backed
by President Wilson, is on one
side; Representative David J.
Lewis of Maryland. leading the
labor union groups In the house,
Is on the other.
The judiciary committee, back
ed by the administration. is de-
liberately planning to Job" or
Joker" the eyemp:ion provision
In the law, so as to leave the mat
ter OF eXempting labor unions
practically where IL is now--in
the discretion OF the courts. The
amendment as draw n by the CON-
mittee, and approved by the presi-
dent. is distinctly hostile to Or
ganized labor. 1t Is a violation
of the platform pledge of the
democratic party--or at least of
the way that pledge was utter
preted on the stump during the
campaign.
Where the Joker Is.
The provision ms drawn at the
White House conference by Clay
ton and his colleagues provides
that nothing contained in the
antitrust laws shall be construed
to forbid the existence and opera
ton of fraternal, labor, consum-
ers, agricultural 0r horticultural
organizations, orders. or associa-
tions instituted for the purposes
of mutual help and not having
capital stock, or conducted for
profit, or to forbid or restrain in
dividual members of such organi-
cations, orders or associations
from carrying out the Legitimate
objects thereof"
On it's face, this paragraph
seems fair. Examined a little, II
will be seen to leave the matter
where 1t is now. The whole ques-
ton is put up to the courts,
which, in future, as In the past,
may be expected 10 serve the m
terests of big business as against
the working class. The provision
refers only to unions and other
organizations carrying out the
legitimate objects thereof" This
puts it within the power of any
court to declare that strike or
other activity of labor union Is
not a Legitimate object thereof

COLE And WARRIOR
WILL PITCH TODAY
Yankees to l.leet the White
SOx i'm Double-Header
for Farewell.
By HAYWOOD BROUN.

Rain made yesterday unsuitable for
White Sox or Yankees either, and the
game was postponed. The fans will
lose nothing, however, for the teams
are to play double-header at the Polo
Grounds this afternoon. Jimmy Gala
han has decided to forsake his old
opening and will not begin either game
with Urban Faber. Benz, Scott and
Reb Russell are all ready, but if the
Yankees get on the rampage Callahan
may need many more.
Frank Chance said last night that he
planned to use Jack WARRIOR and King
Cole. The "King" did such good work
on Saturday that as d reward he is to
get more work Big Ed Walsh had no
kinks in his arm yesterday TO remind
him of his shut-out victory over the
Yankees, and the few sore spots in his
back came not from the strain Of pitch
ing. but were mere marks of respect
hammered home by his teammates
when he came in to the bench. Walsh
went to Meriden, Conn, yesterday to
tell his home folks all about how he
did it.
Jimmy Callahan and "Kid" Gleason
went TO the Empire City Track yester-
day. Jimmy Callahan and kid" Glea-
son stated last night that they were
opposed to racing.
Fritz Maisel Of the Yankees, is so
aggressive that he never plays soli-
taire but the game breaks up in a row.
Joe Benz, of the White Sox, is known
to his teammates as the Butcher Boy.
Perhaps that explains why Iy Cobb
hits him so easily.
According to j. j. Alcock, of "The
Chicago Tribune" many fans IN the
Windy City who receive passes from
Charlie Comiskey frame the cards as
mementos, but insist on paying their
way in at the gate. Chicago is 1000
miles from New York.
All the White Sox profess them
selves as tickled to death with Ring
Lardner's portrayal of professional
baseball player, in "The Letters OF
Busher." Any one who voiced an OPP
posite opinion would at once. be sus-
pected as having served as a model
for the satire.
Jack Dunn should find many enthu-
siastic purchasers for whatever base
hall PLAYERS he has left in Baltimore.
Cree has hit at a great pace for the
Yankees, Ruth and Shore have pitched
brilliantly for the Red SoX, Derrick is
PLAYING brilliantly with the Cubs and
