BOOSTING Ed BARROW
TO SUCCEED TENER
President of International League Is
Figured as Good Man to Be Had.

Ed Barrow, president of the In
ternational League, is being men
toned as a good man to succeed
President Tener, of the National
League. Today's New York Amer
ican says:
''Of all the baseball men In the
country today but one man comes
to mind as possessing potentialities
which might make for a real sue
cessful president or the old league.
That man is Edward Barrow.
now president of the international
League. and one of the abIest
executives the game has ever
known.
when he pulled his organization
through the Federal League turmoil
Barrow accomplished a remarkable
feat. He seems to be an eXtraordi-
nary baseball business man, with
extr; rdinary baseball business
connections.
He has been constantly assooiat-
ed with the game as player, man
ager. magnate and executive. There
Is no phase with which he is not
thoroughly familiar. He is rather
given to running his own league
himself. however. and might not
care to be the sort of executive
some members of the National
League seem to admire.
One of his closest friends in
baseball is Ban johnson, president
of the American League, which
might be argued as one reason why
he should not head the National
League"

LABOR TROUBLES NOT MENAcINo
Secretary Wilson Finds War Work Not
Threatened.

Threatened.
washington, Aug. s. Reports that
labor conditions In the United States
are SO serious as to menace the ma
tion,s war preparations were denied by
Secretary sof Labor Wilson after q
meeting OF the cabinet at which the
labor situation was thoroughly can
vassed.
Secretary Wilson, who has made a
careful study of labor conditions thru
out the country, reported to the presi-
dent and cabinet that there are no seri-
Gus disturbances threatening war ac-
tiyities. He expressed himself as op-
timistic over the general situation.
From what I have been able to
learn" Secretary Wilson said as he
was leaving the meeting. conditions
among the laboring classes in this
country are not nearly 80 serious OF
alarming as they were In Europe at the
outbreak of the war. with the exception
Of those in Italy, where very little. II
any. trouble has been experienced. The
leaders of labor in the United States
are co operating in every way with the
administration to bring about the best
results that can be obtained. and find
little unrest among the toilers.
80 far as strikes are concerned, the
situation is adjusting itself. There still
is some trouble in the coal mines OF
Kansas, New Mexico. and Alabama, but
agents of my department are at work
in all three states and hope soon to
have the situation cleared up. Alto
gether, labor Is entirely satisfied and
have no knowledge of any serious dis
affection in the ranks.
