WORKERS ARE
 ENTHUSIASTIC
 FOR PRESIDENT
Labor Knows the Import
 ance of Measures Passed For It's Benefit.

The earnestness and sincerity o1
 President Wilson and his administra.
 tion in their attitude toward labor ex-
 plain the great enthusiasm that all
 workers have for the Wilson admin
 istration. Had they done nothing
 more for labor, than enact the Clay | ton Antitrust Law, the Seamen's Act and the Child Labor Law, they
 would deserve the whole hearted sup. port of all labor.
 During the sixteen years of Re- publican rule, before the Democrats gained control of the House of Rep- resentatives, the labor committee was a burying-ground for all labor legislation. The Industrial Com mission Act. the Children's Bureau Act, the Parcels Post Law, the Anti Phosphorus Match Law, the law pro- viding for a Department of Labor and making the Secretary of Labor member of the Presidents Cabinet, passed by the Democratic Congress, could never have become law so long as the Republican Party of Special Privilege dominated legislation.
 Besides the Clayton Antitrust Law and the Seapen's Act, which constitute in themselves a Bill of | gresses under President Wilson have enacted much legislation of interest to Labor. Besides special labor leg islation, such as the Eight-Hour Day Acts, the Child Labor Bill and the workmen's Compensation Bill. Presi- dent wilson's administration has put through the following progressive measures: The Federal Trade Com mission, the Federal Reserve Bank ing Law the Underwood Tariff Act, the Rural Credits Bill, the Agricul- tural Education Bill, the Sherwood Pension and the Income Tax.
 Labor knows the importance of these measures. Valuable as they are, none is greater than President Wilson's greatest achievement-that of keeping the country out of war. The same spirit which has exalted the real preparedness for industrial justice has animated the Admin1stra- ton in all it's labor legislation and in all its administration of labor laws. Tremendous pressure was brought to bear upon the President to inter fere in Mexico, but he steadfastly re- sisted every such suggestion and de- mand. Intervention, which implies military subjugation, is revolting to the people of the United States.
 There are those whose financial in- terests were endangered by the Mexi- can revolutions, who sought to pre- cipitate intervention in Mexico in or der to make good their investments. That Woodrow Wilson needed the will of the people has confirmed the belief of the people in his right mindedness. For war of conquest in. Mexico would have meant the sacrifice of the lives of thousands of workers for the protection of prop erty interests. This country presents the sublime spectacle of being al peace, when the rest of the world is in the midst of turmoil. President Wilson has kept us out of war.

FACTORY WORKERS PROMISE SUPPORT
 IN BABY RESCUES
Canvassers Report Generous Response From Men in
 Shops For Campaign.

There was joy at the headquarters of the "Save-the-Baby' campaign in The Stratfield last evening. Shortly after 6 o'clock returns were received from the first of Bridgeport factories which have intrested some 10000 work CTS in the campaign. The first factory to report, a big plant in the South End, brought in a statement that showed the workers interest in the project to be measured not by the dol lar but by the hundreds of dollars. The returns fully :xindicated the idol lar person" plan of the campaign under which everyone can contribute on an equal basis.
 Tonight every worker is asked to at- tend the meeting at headquarters. At that time preliminary reports on con- tr1butions will be made by every worker. The meeting will begin at o'clock.
 Further returns from factories are looked for tonight and tomorrow. Forty thousand envelopes have been distributed. and the contributions of the factory employees are expected to form big part of the fund.
 The general committee calls atten- tion to the fact that the dollar is only a unit of calculation in the campaign fund. Persons whe desire to give less than dollar should do 50. for their contributions will be most gladly re- ceived. .-
 Showing the widespread interest in the campaign, one worker presented an interesting report last night. She had canvassed the railroad freight yards, including everybody from exec utives to laborers. Not once was she turned down." the worker enthusi- astical1y reported.
 There will be luncheon for the work CTS Saturday at The Stratfeld from 12 to 1:30. to which all interested in the campaign are invited,

 The negotiations on the part of Louis Held, of Bridgeport for the pur- chase of the Runyon and Gilbert properties at Pine Tree Corner have fallen through. As to the former a verbal agreement had been reached, but Held informed Miss Runyon this week that he was not in a position to consummate the transaction. In the case of the Gilbert property matters had not. progressed to even verbal agreement. The Runyon house was vacated this week by the Misses Read and Arnold, who occupied it during the summer. and Joseph Kropsky is about to move in from the George S. Banks cottage near by.

Fraternity Head Determined
That Ban Johnson Mend
Matters.

NEW YORK. Nov. Elm a statement
made public today, David l.. Fultz.
president of the Baseball Players Fra
tcrnity, reiterates his demand that
clauses In certain contracts be changed
so players disabled In performance of
their duties shall not lose pay while
recuperating. He refuses to name
players who have been Disseminated
against in this manner. informing Ban
Johnson. president OF the American
League. that he can find these con-
tracts by looking over the list of the
New York and Washington clubs, OF
the American League.
II Is well known that major league
owners are making ready to cut
salaries all along the line this winter.
No, contracts are expected TO be offered

In New York next month. II there are
signs OF concerted action In this direc-
tion, 1t is thought that the fraternity
will retaliate.
Following is a copy Of the contract
clause signed by Washington and New

Fultz says must be changed by 1917:
Should the player be disabled or his

ability or impairment may bear to the
term herein prescribed, and may at its
option terminate this contract.
But no such deduction or termination
of the contract snall he made Ivy reason
OF any accident or injury received by the
player while in performance OF his reg
ular duties under the direction Of the
club. unless such injury or accident shall
wholly or partly incapacitate the player

GIRL IN AEROPLANE
TO CHEER OVERTON
Most Novel OF Stunts to Be Seen
at College Race.

II Johnny Overton OF Yale University
intercollegiate cross-country champion,
doesn't retain his title when the college
barriers grind out their yearly Offering
to the god of stamina and grit at New
Haven on November %, II won't be be-
cause he Is not given the most novel
and delightful encouragement ever Of
fercd to "A competing athlete.
Overton, let II he explained, has two
of the finest friends "A fellow could ask
for-one Il girl (and perhaps more than
friendD, and the other man. The
man--Overton's friend-owns and oper-
ates an acroplanc. and the girl, besides
being Johnny's most enthusiastic rootcr.
Is as game as they come. She wants
Johnny to win back the prestige that
he lost to Captain Windnaglc of Cornell
at the intercollegiate games at Cam
bridge last sprin" and she's going to
lend Johnny trst-hand encouragement
every step of the way. How will she
do II? why. the answer IL as simple as
the nose on ones face:
Picture the start of the big college
race. or to one side. resting on the
turf. Is the biplane owned by Overton's
pal and near IL stands the girl who
wants to see Johnny win. II she waits
there for the runner to come around the
minutes will seem like hours. The avn
ator starts up his engine. and quick as
n flash the girl jumps up beside him, to
soar away after the runners and call n
word of cheer to Johnny.
one thing Is actually going TO happen
at New Haven on November %. and let

about the only one on which the stunt

OF n precipice iO0 feet high and it's nj

for Johnny can wave her Yale flag and
sing out to her hero: Run, Johnny, foi
Yale and for me-" Truly, this will bt
the most interesting incident seen II

II is just possible that the intercolleE
late officials may frown on the idea oil

critical stage of his race by tho sigh

Johnson and Young were the men who
distinguished themselves on Saturday.

to within striking distance and then
scoring the Washington and Lee touch
down. Captain Young not only kicked
the field goal for the Generals. but his
punting averaged nearly sixty yards.
The defense of Washington and Lee
was so strong that the nddies could
make little impression on the line. and
the only time the goal was In danger
was when Davis carried the ball nearly
fifty yards and reached the Generals
3O-yard line.
Pierotti was a bulwark at center.
while Ignico and Bethel broke uT
