MPLOYES ON

LONGEVITY Pay
ORGANIZATION TO THAT EFFECT
is EFFECTED
(By Associated Press.l

PANAMA, July 29.-The gold en-
ployees of the Panama canal have
about, completed an organization for
the purpose of looking after their in
terests in Washington, and on the
isthmus relative to conditions of en-
ployment and other matters One of
the chief objects will be to look after
measures to be brought before con-
gress regarding longevity pay.
The organization has not yet been
given a name but it probably will be
known as the Panama Canal Employees
Association. A large fund has been
subscribed to pay the expenses of a
committee recently sent to Washing
ton to obtain the resembling of an
executive order under which rent
was being charged for quarters on the
zone. This committee was success
full.
This success was the direct cause of
the new organization since 1t demon
strated, according to moving spirits,
could be done if an organized effort is
made. The new association purposes
to have prepared and presented in
Congress a measure providing for the
civilian canal employees just as the
various army and navy officers have
been rewarded.
| The employees will contend that this
reward should be in the shape of Ion
gevity pay so that those who have been
on the isthmus for certain number
of years will be given a yearly in
crease in salary, This is to include
all employees whether members of
unions or not. 1t is likely that to this
bill pension system will be appended
The association already has gather
ed fund Of about $25 1000 from as
sessments made upon all the employees
practically all of whom already have
joined and have paid at least abortion
OF their assessments. A weekly paper
Will be started which win be distrib-
uted to all the employees and also to
many government officials in Washing
ton as well as to every member of
congress.
1t is declared probable that In order
to accomplish its object the associa,
ton will establish offices in Washing
ton for the purpose of making a direct
personal appeal to members of Con-
gress.

Harry Leco Football Who With

That summer baseball is undesir-
able, not because of the faint" of pro-
cessionalism but because it would
mean that the players would devote
too much time to the game, is the ar
gument against summer ball in the
current number of the Harvard Alumni
Bulletin
Boyd says that the baseball squad
now puts in the entire afternoon dur
ing the greater part of the college
year. With summer baseball permit
ted he contends, prospective candi-
dates for the team will be encouraged
to play summer ball by way of improv-
ing their chances of making the team.
This he considers too great an expen-
diture of time that might well be de-
voted to other objects. Boyd writes,
in part:
The endless discussion of summer

considered desirable. Under the pres

members of the baseball squad would
soon come to feel an implied obliga-
ton To devote their summers to the
game in order to insure victorious
teams. This situation would be a
scandal in itself, and the cause of
endless dissatisfaction.
Even now baseball requires more
time from its devotees than any other
university sport. 1t is true, track and
crew athletes are in training as long
as baseball men. but their work re-
quires only few minutes at the end
of the afternoon, which is merely what
the busiest undergraduate should set
aside every day for physical exercise.
Baseball demands most of the after
