TELLS OF WOMEN WHO ACT AS
SPIES FOR WESTERN UNION
81 have one or two women on my
payroll who don't do anything else
but go around to different Offices on
the Western Union system and size
up the atmosphere. They report to
me what the feeling'>is toward the
company. From conversations, Cos
sip and chatter have knowledge in
my head now of employees who are
members of the Commercial Telegra-.
pliers union and may be discharged.
This is from testimony of T. w.
Carroll, Western Union division traf-
fic superintendent at Chicago, before
US. industrial commission yesterday.
Answers slowly squeezed out of Car

UNION MEN WIN VICTORY BY
SHEET METAL MEMS ACTION
The most decisive victory for the
unions in their fight for decent
wage under union conditions came
yesterday when the Sheet Metal Con-
tractors Assn, through their presi-
dent, Harry Knisely, refused to lock
out the members of the sheet metal
workers union.
Given the choice between their OBJ
legations to the Building Construc-
ton Employers Assn, the gang of
bosses who are trying to control the
building Industry, and taking from
the building trades unions their
right to strike, the sheet metal en-
ployers went with the union.
The Building Construction En-
ployers' Assn ordered the sheet
metal contractors to lock out their
men today because they refused 10
sign the blanket agreement" that
they would not call a strike upon
their bosses. This group of contract
ors have had almost no trouble re-
Gently with their union men and after
years of harmony could not lock out
the workmen. "
About /, 800 men stayed on the job
today as result of the favorable
action of the contractors. Their stand
will be formally announced to the
Building Construction Employers
Assn today at 1870. If they side
with the union men they forfeit a
bond of $1,000.

FRISCO GIRL VISITS
 MANY FRENCH HOSPITALS

LONDON, May 27--France has for several weeks been clearing hundreds of it's more accessible hospitals of patients in order to provide for the heavy casualties of the new offensive movements. Sick and wounded have been removed to crossroads villages and to hospitals in the country im- provised from former monasteries and convents. Although greatly crowded, beds are added to every hospital in order to increase their capacity. The plan is to have the base hospitals and all those on the main railway lines ready to care for the newly wounded. In the early months of the war much of the loss of life and limb was due to gangrene resulting from slow trans portation.

late as to the amount of ore blocked out in this property, but by virtue of the dimensions of the vein system above the tunnels driven, there must be ore enough to be measured not by years of supply for the present milling capacity, but by geneations of opera tion.
 It is said that within six months the Alaska Gold Mines at Juneau will have a mill treating 10000 tons daily of grade which will yield a net profit of approximately $1. per ton. It is also said that the mill will be even- tually increased to a capacity of 3O.- 900 tons of ore per day. From this it will be seen that the ore reserves in this property are of enormous pro- portions.
 When the stock was first offered on the New York Curb, 1t sold as low as $7.12h and has since sold up to $4O.50 on the New York Exchange.
 It reacted in the past few days in sympathy with the general trend of the market. On this reaction we think Alaska Gold should be bought. We expect the stock to ultimately sell up to s7O a share.

vein matter and quartz suitable for milling that should yield a net profit of from 70 cents to $1 per ton. The mining chances below the Gold Creek tunnel level promise an addition of twice as much tonnage of the same value as we believe the vein will yield above the Gold Creek tunnel. These mining chances are based upon the fact that in a parallel vein two miles away on Douglas island the ore bod ies are now being mined at a depth of 2,000 feet below sea level. At that depth the Douglas island ore bodies still hold their width and average val ues."

TERMS USED IN FIGHT
AMONG BALL CLUBS TOO
TECHNICAL FOR FANS

In these times of baseball war many
terms are used by the newspapers
which may be confusing to the fan
whose technical education on the POI
litical end of the game has never been
polished. Therefore the following de-
finitions of terms used In the story of
the suit brought against organized
baseball by the Federal League are
given:
Organized baseball-The term APP
piled to all baseball leagues affiliated
under working agreement, by which
the various clubs and leagues agree to
respect the contracts made and the
territorial rights of other members of
their organization. The agreement
also covers methods of selling, trad
ing and drafting players, and the
means Of carrying on all other bust
ness to the advantage Of clubs work
ing together.
Outlaw baseball-AlI professional
ball clubs working independently of
organized baseball
National commission-The highest
court of baseball. It consists of the
president of each major league and a
third member, elected by the two who
hold places in the court by virtue of
their positions. These three men have
charge Of all major league affairs in
which both leagues are concerned,
and also consider appeals in disputes
involving two minor league clubs, a
minor and a major league club, or
player and any club.
National agreement-The working
constitution OF organized baseball,
under which the major and minor
league clubs carry on business rela-
tions.
National association-The organiza-
ton or MINOR leagues, eacn Ieague
