NEW YORK, February s.-"I believe

is fairly equitable" said David Fultz.
lawyer and president of the Players
Fraternity. 81 use the word fairly
because also believe that from time TO
time it will have to be changed to meet
conditions.
However, this is something that
cannot possibly be avoided. for condi-
tions in base ball are always changing,
and no one can possibly look far
enough ahead to realize in detail what
the future holds in this respect"
Coming. as 1t does, from the president
of the Players Fraternity, this opinion
counts for something. He has made a
study of contracts, particularly base
ball contracts, and IT Is his duty to find
any flaws or clauses that might work
against the best interests of the play
er- The 1915 contracts do not contain
the ten-day clause. and this, evidently
was the chief bone of contention"

The ease of Casey Hageman against

other, will refuse to sign new con-
tracts and let the clubs simply transfer

Fultz, and I shall instruct the mem

Hageman had signed to play with the
Red SoX for the season of 1912 at Il
salary of $500 a month He was trans
ferred to the Newark International
League club and signed a new contract
at the same salary. Before the end of

the Pittsburgh Nationals near the. close
Of last season, to go over to the inde-

tention first as second baseman of the
Mount ST. Mary's College team at En-
mitsburg, Md, signed a 1915 contract for
the Pirates about two weeks ago and re-
fused to listen to offers made by the
Federal scout. Dan Joined the New York

the latter team by Pittsburgh last Sep

salaries will get back to where it is pos
sible for leagues to exist from one end
of the land to the other. The time can
not be far off, either. Even owners of
ball clubs tire of losing their money, and
when the war is over one of the first
things the club owners will do will be to
cut the salaries of the players particu-
larly those who forced them to go beyond
their means to retain them.

LABOR MAKES
fine SHOWING

With large contingents In from
nearby towns, and Tacoma labor
turning out in unprecedented
numbers, this city TO-DAY saw its
largest and most successful Labor
day celebration.
But despite the many victories
of the last few months for organ
ized mechanics in the east, there
was tone of seriousness in the
days proceedings.
It was due to unanimous SEN
timent of protest against the con-
yiction of John Lawson, Colo
RADIO labor leader. by a Rookie
fellerized Judge and district at
torney.
Scores Rockefeller.
John r. Lawson must be ex-
onerated; Rockefeller is respon-
sible for the massacre of Lud-
low" read banners carried in the
parade.
And the speech of Martin Fly
xix, district leader of the miners,
Lawson's union, fairly burned
with denunciation of conditions
in Colorado. He spoke to a tre-
mendous crowd in Wright park
early in the afternoon.
/. President Ernest p. Marsh. of
the State Federation of Labor,
outlined the work which labor
has still before it in this state.
:. Dance This Evening.
+. Then came the holiday features
of the day. Races, tug-of-war,
/, Jumping. pie-eating contests, la
dies nail-driving contests, dances,
lots of eats--all held In Wright
park or nearby. The dancing on
the waved pavement on / street
proved one of the big attractions
of the day.
This evening In Glide rink will
be held the wind-up affair of the
day--a big dance. Music will be
OF the best, and special work has
put the big hall In the best of
condition.

Tacoma again proved itself to-
day one of the greatest labor cit
les In the west.
Several thousand men, in the
longest Labor day parade seen in
years, demonstrated to a throng
that packed the sidewalks OF
Broadway and Pacific avenue this
noon the tremendous physical
strength of the Tacoma labor
unions.
And they weren't all men,
either.
There were 400 women in the
line-although they were consid-
erately allowed to ride in. autos
rather than march over the long
route of the parade--represent-
ing the garment workers, card
and label league, Mattresses, mu-
sicians and workers in the Shull-
Day factory, who occupied five
huge auto trucks.
-Four Sections.
The parade was in four sec
lions, the divisions being led by
MiekIethwait's. Johnson's, Lock-
woods and Ashman's bands.
By far the largest turnout was
that of the first section, includ-
ing all railroad employees in the
city.
The railroad men, four abreast,
occupied two full blocks. They
included the carmen, boilermak-
ers, blacksmiths, machinists and
sheet metal workers.
Moving picture operators fol-
lowed, with a float showing a
miniature movie house. They dis
tributed 10000 free movie tickets
along the line of march.
Then came the bakers, and
bartenders, in their neat white
uniforms, and long line of
BARRIERS. The bridge and struc-
tural iron workers had with them
a float on which was erected a
tiny piledriver.
Brewery workers had the Sec
ond largest delegation, with the
longshoremen third in numbers,
and the carpenters fourth.
Women In Auto Vans.
The Women's Card and Label
league occupied three automobile
vans.
The cooks and walters had
touring cars, and made a pleas
ing impression. Cigarmakers.
although not so strong in num-
bers, had prominent place. The
electricians, including large
number of city electricians, were
we'll represented. Boot and shoe
workers occupied a big car.
