zen the right guaranteed to him by
the constitution to be protected in his
! life and liberty whether he chooses &c
work as a member of union or not
| IL would go far to terminate the de
plorable conditions which now exist.
1.-The effort has been made to place
the responsibility for the continuation
of this strike upon us as individual
owners of stock in one of the mining
companies involved. The only point
at issue, so far as the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company is concerned, is
that of unionizing, and unionising at
the behest. not of employees, less than
| 10 per cent of whom were union men,
but at the demand of an outside body.
This, as I have said. is a matter of
principle which we could not accede
or arbitrate.
"In order to correct an impression
which seems to have gained currency
desire TO restate what was fully
stated in the congressional eXamina-
tion-namely: our position with ref
erence to organized labor.
1--WE do not question the right of
any workmen to freely associate them
selves In unions for the furtherance
of their common and legitimate inter
ests, but we do assert the equal right
of an individual to work independently
of a union II he so elects. We are con-
tending against the right of unions to
impose themselves upon an industry
by force, by assault and murder, and
not against the right of men to organ
iZe for their mutual benefit
THE impression has been created
that il We would agree to submit to
the unionizing of the camps of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company this
entire trouble would be ended. The
public generally does not seem to
consider whether or not this is a right
or a fair demand and in the interest
of the employees of the company as a
whole.
What would become of the great ma
jority of its workers were such sur
render to be made? All of it's loyal
nonunfon employees, numbering sever
al thousands, more than 80 per cent
OF the total number employed in the
mines, who have been faithful and
true TO its interests would be thrown
out OF employment unless willing to
submit as individuals to union dicta-
ton. Is it the spirit of American fair
play which is asking such ruthless
disregard OF the interests of honest
men, or is IL the spirit of craftsmanship
and self-seeking?
But the issue is not one OF merely
local Importance. II affects every
workingman throughout the land The
fact that labor unions represent but
small minority of the workers of the
entire country seems to be lost sight
OF by those who urge the termination
OF this local difficulty at the price of
surrender to union domination. Surely
no thinking man can ask. much less
expect. that we will abandon our own
employees and the cause of the work
ers OF the entire country because vio-

National Baseball Commission
to Act ON Fraternity Demands
Also Discuss Encroachmente
Being Made by Federals.

Cincinnati, Ian. 5.-Prominent per-
sonages In the world Of organised base
ball including the members of the Ma
ttonal commission, representatives of
several minor leagues and club owners
in the two major leagues. are here to-
day for a meeting OF the National COM
mission. The meeting will be very inn
portant as not only viii the commits
sion consider the claims Of the recently
organized bali players federation. but
the encroachment of the Federal
League on organized baseball will also
be discussed. The first business before
the commission was expected to be the
reading Of the annual reports Of Chair
man August Hermann and Secretary
John Bruce, after the reports the COM
mission intended to take up the election
Of officers. The reelection OF Mr.. Herr
mann as president and John e. Bruce
as secretary appeared to be certain.
The commission intends also to re-
view the claims made by the ball play
ers' federation and from expressions
made by members Of the commission. 1t
is not thought that there will be any
serious opposition to granting most of
the requests of the players. The play
ers will be asked to modify some of
their requests and this is likely to cause
final settlement to be delayed.

ALL STARS AT FRISCO
Suggestion That Players of Majors BE
Picked by Writers.

San Francisco. Jan. 5.-A series of
baseball games between all-star teams
to be selected by popular vote from the
ranks of players In the National and
American Leagues probably will be
played in San Francisco next year. The
officials Of the Panama Pacific EXPOSE
ton will back the proposition and make
formal announcement of the plan when
the details are completed. This is q
deviation from the original plan to
bring together the teams competing in
the world series of 1915 in a second
competition in November. The change
in the plan is due to pressure upon
exposition authorities to stage a contest
which has often been suggested but
never put into actual operation.

by national agreement clubs. did not
attain prosperity or prestige" the re-
port says.
"a passive policy has been pursued
by the commission and the leagues d.
rectly affected toward that organiza-
ton but II the contractural and reser-
walton rights of national agreement
clubs are not respected by its (Federal
league) promoters, it may become
necessary to employ strenuous meas
.ures for the protection OF the interests
Of major and minor league clubs.
Rivalry will not be resented so
long as league and club rights are not
ignored, but illegal and unsportsman-
like interference with and utter dis
regard Of established privileges OF ma
tional agreement clubs will Justify the
adoption Of vigorous defensive meth
ods.''
Herrmann's statement is regarded
as the answer Of organized baseball to
the projects of the Federal league,
James A. Gilmore, have declared that
while they will respect actual playing
contracts held by national agreement
clubs, they will disregard the much
discussed reserve clause which they
hold to be illegal.
Touching on the Gallagher resolu-
ton in the house Of representatives
was the forerunner to newspaper dis
cussions of a congressional inquiry
into the methods and purposes Of pro-
fessional baseball as operated under
the national agreement. This meas
ure, however, died in the committee
to which it was referred. AS there
has been no agitation on this matter
recently l assume those who were
behind 1t have concluded not to make
further efforts in that direction.
1.-The attitude of the commission
relative to this investigation was
promptly and clearly defined. A thor

gress or the federal or state courts will
be welcomed by all connected with the
game, in full confidence that the re-
suit will demonstrate that national
