Instead Of threatening the jumpers
hereafter the boys will be encouraged,

and made silent partners in the cold
blooded but extremely effective battle
plan. They are told to so ahead and
play ball-if they eve start-and
when they blow their jobs will be
waiting for them.
Otto Knabe, so ran the talk around
the commission meeting, is the first
mar selected to work out this scheme.
Advised in full by Mr. Baker and the
Philadelphia lawyer, Knabe Jumps"

Every star who Jumps plays the
