Continual Show
is Falling With
Much Repetition

Our idea of continual show is tho
daily attack on President Justice
by the Waterloo Courier. Whoever
is responsible for the trades. they
are certainly more numerous than
tragic The sporting editor of the
newspaper is certainly under some
body's thumb. Just a week or so ago
a new sport writer was annexed by
the paper and he has been pretty
well broken into his task by those be-
hind him, who apparently pull the
strings while he dances. Such shall
low and uncalled for attacks cannot
be more than humorous. The dopest-
er On the Rockford Register and Ca
Zette stated the case pretty we'll
when he called the perpetrators of the
bitter attacks on Justice, Farrell and
Chiyington to account and said their
zeal in behalf Of Mr.. Tearney were
carrying them too far. He pointed
out that it is easy for narrow minded
people to look upon all mems motives
as bad The sport writer on the Wat
erloo Tines-Tribune has not allowed
himself 20 be pulled around by the
henchmen OF the president Of the club
in that city who called Justice plain
crook in print. He recognizes the
able fight the league prexy has l1ade
under difficulties and hands him the
prize for being fighter IN the follow
ing words:

and now he's done It. and to make
it good he waited until the last min

club
The Waterloo-Courier yesterday
used q column celebrating on the fan
tasticaI theme that Justice is killing
the Central association. It imputed
bad faith to keokuk for surrendering
its franchise and said that the local
club did not have any players. If
anyone believes this is so, he will
only have to write to the president Of
the 1915 baseball association here. and
he win be notified that Keokuk has a
dozen or more good players under
1915 contracts.

Letter stating preiudiced case that

that high wages are much to blame

PAYS FINE TRIBUTE
TO RANGE COUNTRY

When Mrs. Hamlin visited the Me-
saba range to make her investigation
of conditions existing there among
the miners for the Woman's Welfare
League of st. Paul, she was impressed
with the splendid roads in the north
ern portion of st. Louis county and
she was quick to recognize the fine
work that Mayor Power has been
doing for the village of Hibbing.
She paid this tribute to the range
country and to Mayor Victor Power
of Hibbing:
"There is an excellent motor road
from the Twin Cities to Lake Itasca,
and from there through Bemidji, Cass
Lake, ,Beno and Grand Rapids to the
Range. Once on the Range the roads
are like your parlor floor. They are
wonderful. The Range towns are the
best paved; best lighted, cleanest
towns in America. I never saw such
Immaculate towns anywhere outside
of Germany. A combination Of money
and mayor-largely Mayor Powers
responsible for their magnificence.
September and October are. ideal
months for motor trip to the Me-
saba range. If you consult the High
way commission, then will tell you
how to get back from Duluth to the

NEW YORK, Sept 21.-After a
citizens committee had failed to ef-
feet a basis of settlement between the
striking union carmen and their en-
ployers here, it was announced that
apparently the only hope Of averting
a threatened sympathetic walk-out Of

lies in a. final appeal to be made to
the labor leaders Thursday.
The citizens committee probably

Mr.. Shonts, it was learned tonight,
informed the committee that he
would refuse POSITIVELY to meet rep
resentatives Of the strikers. He said
that even if he were disposed to treat
with the strikers, he could not do so
because the 1900 loyal employees of
his company, who make possible the
continuation of traffic on the subways
ind elevated roads, had threatened to
strike if the marlborough recognized
the strikers union.
The most serious rioting since tho
transit strike in this city began two
weeks ago occurred tonight in various
sections Of Manhattan, when attempts
were made to run cars on the Forty
second and Fifty-ninth street cross

carbarns, overpowering the police and
putting to flight all railway employees
in the vicinity.
At Forty second street and Broad
way, one Of the busiest spots in the
city, a great crowd bombarded u car
with stones they had gathered from
a subway excavation.
The police reported late tonight
that all surface cars had been orCered
to the barns for the rest of the night.
