My Platform

I want the people to know that
if I am elected judge they a feel a
sense of security, such as they are
entitled to feel; that the laws will be
rigidly, but justly and impartially en-
forced. / want the entire populace to
know that / stand for law and order,
and that the scales of justice must
balance evenly.
No friend need expect favors for
friendships sake, and if / have an
enemy he need have no fears that
justice will not be accorded him.
The rights of the people are too
sacred to be utilized by any Individual
for Interior purposes: the officer who
would do SO can not lay claim to eth
er the respect or confidence of the
people.

GONBI IONS IN DEPT STOKES
EXPOSED BY GIRLS
State Factory Oscar Nelson yes
terday doubled his watch on the
State street department stores to
catch any possible violations Of the
woman's ten-hour law. So far Nthe
State street bosses have been tricky
enough to split up the girls time so
as to come just within the Law.
The Fair, the Boston Store, Hill
mans and Rothschild's have been
attacked in letters written both to
the state factory inspector and The
Day Book. These letters contain a
harsh indictment of the methods of
the State street bosses.
Among the complaints Of the girls
which. the law is powerless to rem
edy are: .
Split-time, which forces the girl to
be on the Job at 8:15 and gives them
no opportunity to go home and rest
until midnight, although they are
given time off in the afternoon to
prevent prosecution.
Lack Of stools and the enforce
ment of rules which prevent the
girls from grabbing a moments rush
during the all-day grind Of Christ
shopping.
Failures of the stores to hire suf-
ficient force adequately to handle
the crowds. This results in such
forced haste in handling customers
that frequent mistakes in money &C.
cur. The girls are forced to make up
all shortages out of their wages. The
Daily News, without printing the
name of the store, yesterday told of
a girl who gave a customer So too
much and had to give it to the store
out of her wages. At the wages paid
in dept stores this will take the big
gest part of two weeks pay.
The Fair introduced another way
of getting poorly-paid employees for
~, NJ, 7-igf1looc 7-11Gb, that haC bonr fol

and work until after the stores are
closed.
By doing this they headed off
threatened strikes Of men in the
shipping departments. Several
meetings of these men had been held
in various stores and plans of action
were discussed, when the bosses got
wind Of it.
The men for the past four weeks
have been working from $3.50 a. m.
until midnight. For this they. get
from So to $14 a week and 80 cents
for supper. The store bosses have no
law to fear in the way they handle
their male employees and they take
advantage of the fact.
By hiring the school boys they
brighten the men. Added to this, they
discharged the more radical of the
shippers. Strikes among the girls
were headed off by sending school
girls in to try and handle the holi-,
day rush.
Here's part, of one letter from a
girl; AT Inc Falr we girls nave to
be in our departments at II a. M,
which means we must arrive so as to
give US at least 20 to 80 minutes to
wait our turns to get our time cards
punched and get a cloak check. We
quit usually from 1920 until 1890
p. m. in some dep'ts, which makes it
near II o'clock before we can leave
the store. We have no chairs to sit
on all that time. When you remem-
Der we hang on a strap going to and
from work you'll realize we're pretty
well exhausted.
For the past three or four Sum
days we have been forced to come
down at g.. m. and arrange stock,
etc. We work sometimes until 3 or 4
o'clock. We get no extra pay. We
do get supper money, so cents.

Frank Chance Comes
Back to His Delight

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan, 6.
Frank Chance, who piloted
the Cubs to three National
League championships and
worlds title, will head the Los
Angeles Pacific Coast League
club in 1916, it was announced
today.
Chance was obtained to manage
the New York Yankees in
1918, following his troubles in
Chicago. and proved a lament
able failure. The poor material
placed at his disposal was the
real reason, and, finding no
hope for the future, he threw
up the reins before the 1914
season ended. At that time
he announced his retirement
from baseball, but he has
been coaxed back again.

Year Absence Is
Not Bothering Leader
Fielder Jones Expects TO Know All the Ropes by the
Time the Campaign Opens Places High Value
on Stealing Opponents Signs.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. G.-FIelder Jones
isn't trying 70 establish an advance
alibi for himself on the theory that
his absence from the American League
for nine years will initiate against his
chances for making the browns q con-
tender next season.
III you know your own men YOU
should put up a pretty stin light, no
matter what the opposition is," said he
yesterday
But you don't know your own men,.
someone suggested.
II win before the season opens" was
Fielder's rejoinder.
And at that he isn't planning a long
training trip. The Browns will go South
for two. or at the outside three weeks,
and then return for the spring series
with the Cardinals. BY that time Jones
hopes 70 know exactly the capabilities
OF every man on the squad.
Jones' system of training is very sim
pie. He isn't a believer in batting cages,
sliding pits. and the like. His conten-
tion In that the training trip should
tend to do nothing more than loosen the
muscles of the players and start them
on the proper dict. They'll learn their
baseball in the league race.
Jones places a high value on Ine busi-
ness of stealing signals, however, when
that can be done ethically. On the other
hand. he doesn't believe in an intri-
cate set OF signals.
THE fewer signs you have on a ball
club the better" is his pet theory.
Unless you have a wonderfully alert
set Of men, signals have tendency to
confuse their minds. My idea Is to
make the signals as simple and as few
as possible. i've always practiced that.
And i've always insisted that my
players make a study OF the other fell
lows signals. / think a base runner
should never attempt to steal unless he
has an inkling OF what Is going to be
pitched.
Ernie johnson is really a marvel at
johnson was the best baserunner in the
game last year. He was successful in
almost every steal he attempted be-
cause he didn't go down unless he had
the signal. In a majority of the times
he started they didn't even throw. He
had the base standing up. because he
went only when curve ball was called
for.
"Marsans Is another wise head on the
bases. while Tobin has done rema rkably
well considering his experience. In base
running it's not a question OF how, but
WHEN to go. Speed Ii a minor consid-

with his brother magnates, when
once he gets at work. de has four
players from last years team avail
able for trades, Gandils, Morgan,
Ainsmith, and Boehling. In addi-
tion, there are two or three others
who may be transferred. Morley
Jennings is believed to be one, the
New York Yankees having express
ed desire for him. However, Griff
is marking time now until every
thing has been settled by the Ma
tional Commission.
At least two more weeks must pass
before all will be quiet in the basepall
world. The joint committee, seeking 10

claims, has adjourned it's session. 1t

The New York Yankees are now in a
