 NEW YORK, aJn :6.-Affhiation of the Baseball Players FraternIty with the American Federation of i.a- bor would end tte present salary system in professional baseball hY WEich the best players now receive thousands of dollars for thaT Wor.,. In the opinion of President B. B. Johnson of the American leasue, who discussed here today the plan to unionize ball players He asserted that changing would mean that a union scale of wages would be paid both to the star and the average player in accordance with the amount of money his position called for, He doubted ii the stars of the game would make such an agreement.
 President Johnson recaliod that m the old National league wages were standardized when owners found it difficult to pay the large salaries some players received years age t'n- der the plan at that time. President Johnson declared outfielders received a certain sum and inficlders 1t Was agreed were to receive another amount. President Johnson said he was unwilling to believe that present day bail pla"ers, drawing large sal aries. would be content to equalize their earning abilities with players who just manage to hang on to the major leagues.
 President Johnson said he hoped Samuel Goinpers would first consult with his associates before taking up the proposal seriously. adding tha; the American league never has been antagonistic to the American Federa- tion of Labor

The other clubs who have un- signed fraternity players, Will be up against similar situation when they order mobilization at the training camps; The players simply will not budge'
 Mir. FNltz said the decision to join the American Federation of Labor came after reports from President Johnson of the American League that the fraternity must be cvJsnea ana that players who are active in the fra terp4ty must give up the order or get out of his league
 We needed somethin to bulwark us up, and there seems no dorlt tnat utilization with the American Fedora tion Of Labor will prove great aeAs- fit, continued Mir Fultz "i believe such utilization will strengthen as sut- ficiently to win the requests we now ask for without carrying this strike into the season. l do not believe the club owners will want Co an.agunizc the federation a g baseball is largely a Workingman's sport, especially in the western cities, which are unionized more strongly than the east. l. would
