SH|PYARD WORKERS
TOGETW WAGE INCREASE
Increase VIII Be Granted In
Each Yard As Its Present
Agreement Expires

Washington, Aug. 21.-A nationwide
strike in steel shipyards working on
government contracts will be prevented
by wage increases paid by the govern
ment.
In his first clash with organized labor
or war work, Uncle Sam will recognize
the claim that increased cost of living
warrants a higher wage scale.
This developed today from the diff
.Culties into which the requisition of
ship construction enmeshed the ship
ping board. Shipyard owners whose con
tracts have been taken over by the gov
ernment refused to make new wage
agreements with the International
Metal Trades union until the shipping
board approves the increased wage scales
The final decision is to be- left to
a special commission of three members,
one appointed by President Wilson, one
by President Gompers of the American
liberation of Labor and the third mem
Der to be appointed by the shipping
board.

Prices Slump In Deadest
Market Of the Season


New York, Aug. 21.--Ihe New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
There was a little more animation
in today's stock market, but what
initiative there was, was on the selling
side. Because of prevailing uncertain
ties some timid holders were anxious
enough to reduce their holdings to Of
fer them az a sacrifice, but for the
same reason very few buyers even at
bargain prices, were to be found.
ReceSsions of one to five points were
recorded in the industrial list and of a
fraction to three points or more in the
railroad department. New Haven and
Delaware and Hudson touched new low
record prices, the one for all time and
the other for something like twenty
years.
The fact that the bear element was
moved to exert pressure wherever there
was sign of weakness was attributed
to talk Of Bethlehem Steel financing.
The b. stock sold down to new level
on this movement, below los, loss
of over five pionts and the A stock re-
acted two points. This, however, had
a depressing effect on theo ther steel
shares which lost point or more.

RED SOX winner OF
SECOND--C CALLED
Whites Blame Wet Fiield---Bu
It Avs Just As Wet for the
Fellows Who Beat Them
By H. O. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent)
New York, Aug. 21.-Stationed pre-.
cisely where they were when the con.
flict began, the White Sox and Red
Sox were scheduled today to open the
second day IS work on their collectively
owned task of scaling the Ban John
son heights
Grasping themselves firmly by their
bootstraps and boosted by Urban Fa-
Der, the Chicagoans hoisted themselves
for moment beyond immediate dan
ger of the Red hosed athletes, but the
ascent was creased and the westerners
took the slide with the usual thud at
the end
Whether odds should now favor the
White Sox is a question for the re-
mainder of their hurting corps is a
shaky structure. If Reb Russell is right
he is fully capable of hauling the red
flag down. If he ism t, he is a great
deal like the little girl with a curl
he IS horrid. The same sentiment ap,
plies to Joe Benz. One of this pair
probably will be called on, although
Rowland has two capable performers
in Dave Danforth and Claude Williams
Either of these lads in the well known
right shape, can beat any ball club.
Jack Berry used up his second line
defenses in his even break and now
stands ready to heave his heaviest fore
es into the breach. Babe Ruth or Ernie
Shore will get today s assignment, with
suspicion pointing at Shore. Ruth prob
ably will be saved for the final contest.
The resumption of hitting by Eddie
collins and Joe Jackson forms one of
the pleasure bringing sensations for
Chicago that followed yesterday IS first
game. Jackson and Collins, who have
performed only fairly well this year,
hit and fielded sensationally.
Ty Cobb spent his third hitless day.
Ray Fisher of the Yankees was guilty
and lost his game. +
Seventeen players were hurled in
mass formation by George Stallings at
the Cardinals but they were unable to
win.
Four extra base hits, two of them
home runs, tells the story of the CuLs
victory over the Phillies.

lied in the ninth, but the Indians
brought victory.

White sox Fans not Happy

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Fans hopefully
awaited the third game of the Red
Sox-White Sox series this morning, al
though weather conditions were any
thing but reassuring. Rain threatened
throughout the morning.
Manager Barry was expected to pitch
Ruth, who finished the second game
yesterday. Leonard also was possibil-

White Sox fans today were not alto

spoils in Yesterdays doubleheader. The
second game, which was lost after be-

following an interruption by rain in the

right and are getting the blame for
the loss today.
