TEN DAYS CLAUSE is VOID
Buffalo Court Vacates Injunction
Against Hal Chase.
BASE BALL ILLEGAL MONOPOLY
Judge BrsseII says National Agree
ment Violates Common Law, In
that ~ IHterferes with
Right OF Contract.

BUFFALO. n. Y. July n.-organized
base bali suffered a legal defeat today
when Justice Herbert p. Bissell granted
the motion to vacate the injunction OBJ
tained by the Chicago American league
base ball club. restraining Hal Chase
from playing with the Buffalo Federal
league club.
The lack Of mutual obligation In the
so-called ten day clause OF the contract
under which Chase was playing with
the Chicago team. whereby the club could
terminate the contract on ten days
notice, while the player was bound under
several provisions OF the National
Agreement" formed the basis OF the de-
cision vaoating the injunction.
That organized base ball Ia a violation
OF the Sherman antitrust law was denied
by Justice Bissell. on tho ground that he
could not agree that "the business OF
base ball for profit In interstate trade OF
commerce and therefore subject TO the
provisions OF the Sherman act" The
court held. however. that II was monopoly
OF the base ball business In contraven-
tion OF the common law.
Chase was served with Injunction
papers June Is, while he was playing with
the Buffalo team at Federal park. He
has been on the bench since In his affi-
davit on which the motion 70 vacate was
based. Chase alleged that ne gave tho
Chicago club ten days notice OF his in
tention TO leave. at the expiration OF
which time he signed the Buffalo con-
tract.
Regarding the ten day clause. Justice
Blssell said.
The plaintiff can terminate the con-
tract at any time on ten days notice
The defendent Is bound 10 many obliga-
tions under the remarkable provisions OF
the National agreement. The players
contract binds him not only for the play
ing season OF six months from April 70
october "a. but also for another season
IL the Plaintiff chooses to exercise it's
option. and II It insists on the require
ment Of an option clause In each sue
ceedins contract the defendent can be-
held for a term OF years. His only alter
native is to abandon his vocation.
Can II fairly be claimed that there ia
mutuahty In such a contract? The abso-
lutte lack OF mutuality both of obligation
and Of remedy. would prevent court of
equity from making u the basis of squi-
table relief by Injunction or otherwise.
The negative covenant under such cir
cumstances Is without a consideration
TO support It and Is unenforceable by in
junction"
Justice Bissell declared organized base
ball as complete a monopoly OF the bust
ness for profit as any monopoly can be
made. 1t 10 In contravention OF the COM
mon law" he said. in that II lnvades
the right to contract as a property right;
and In that II is a combination to restrain
and control the exercise OF a profession
or calllng2"

Hodge Header Calendar year begins
with May l. Cali at Eppler's and get
one.
Alexander the Great conquered the
whole world and then sighed and
died because there was no more to
conquer. But not SO with the harves-
ter trust. They conquered the har-
vester world and then went out after
other worlds of anything, and every
branch of agriculture business used
on the farm, and today have an army
of poorly paid men commonly called
canvaSSers, who drive out over the
country to the farmer and get his or
der for anything they can sell in their
line which consists of binders,
headers, mowers, rakes, tedders, hay
presses, hay stackers, hay leaders,
threshing machines, corn shelters,
feed grinders, automobiles, wagons,
manure spreaders, disc harrows,
drags, harness, cream separators and
gasoline engines of many styles and
sizes and many more minor articles
Commonly used on the farm. This
harvester trust was born in Septem-
Der, 1902, when the merging of the
Mccormick, Deering, Plano, Osborne
and Milwaukee formed the union.
This union Rockefellowized, Morgan
lied and centralized a few places at
Chicago; Sterling and Plano, Illinois;
Springfield and Akron, Ohio, and
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, together with
their unlimited capacity for control,
so that all honest competition of
limited means must fall by the way
side sooner or later at their command.
This great trust has never felt the
competition during their career as
they are now experiencing by the
Farmers union all over the agricul-
tural district who are quietly work
ing on the right principal and are
the only factor that can make the
trust set up and take notice, and
they cannot do so in this instance
but by the Farmers Union standing
together which means death and de-
struction to the harvester trust and
the whole world realizes it.
We now have our Hodge Header
Calendars. Calenders on the entire
A c M E line of headers, binders,
mowers rakeS, and Stackers, and eS-
pecially their Hodge corn binder that
with care will wear longer than the
Hodge header has been doing and
that is from IL to % years, here in
our community. The Hodge header
proprietors are the harvester company
who have built good, honest farm
ers line of harvesting machinery in
America for years and remained out
of the trust, though they have had
millions at their command many
times to merge with the big harvest
er trust. but they have simply stood
pat and that is why the Farmers
Union have extended the right hand
of fellowship to. the Hodge header
and ACME line and almost every
Farmers Union in the state is now
in strong competition with the
harvester trust, and the feeling that
competition more than anything
that ever occurred to them.

Now the harvest is here or nearly
so, you may pardon me for few
comments. though little previous,
for assuming / have harvest machin-
cry to sell and its business / want and
offer these suggestions it may infiu-
ence some of you to take the matter
up with me or one of my representa-
tives.
In the first place don't buy either a.
new header or a new binder ifyou
can afford to repair the old one. The
farmer with a fair crop of wheat can
better afford binder Why?-2 men
and , good horses will take care of II
to Is acres per day. He can save all
the straw and his wheat cut with the
binder at proper time will test to 4
lbs. per bushel more than cut with the
header under most conditions, the
straw can be placed near the barn for
a shelter as we'll as feed. When
through with binder by all means
place it in a shed for in this country
it may be many seasons before your
wheat is tall enough to bind nicely
although it NAV yield as much or
more bushels per acre.
The big wheat raiser can well afford
both the header and binder providing
he buys machines out of the trust,
and those machines are the Hodge
chain drive and the CraYer gear drive
sold by w. A. Eppler at. the Blue
Front Implement House, Wa-Keeney
and Ellis, Kans. Do not shed your
header and binder only but shed all
your machinery and see the dollars
YOU will save; your interests are more
i'm the long run.
Then if you can not afford to re-
pair when you go to buy your new ma
chine either header or binder, think
the. matter over for your own and
your families interest, and ask your
self the following questions, and then
answer them yourself on your honor
and Integrity, and then make your
investment in the interest of
humanity.
