HIGH sALARIED STARS
WOULD RECEIVE CUT
IL Players Unionize-AH Would be
Paid on Same Scale.

New YORK, Jan. 16.-Amliation OF
the Baseball Players Fraternity with
the American Federation Of Labor
would end the present salary system
In professional baseball because the
best players now receive thousands OF
of President B. B. johnson Of the
American, League, who discussed here
today the plan to unioniZe ball play
ers. He asserte the change 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
of the game would make such an
agreement.
President johnson recalled that in
the old National League wages were
standardized when owners found 1t
difficult to pay the large salaries
some players received years ago and
he cited the case Of McPhee, the Ia
nous second baseman, who, he said,
had to be satisfied with the same pay
that players of inferior skill received.
Under the plan at that time Presi-
dent Johnson declared, outhelders got
a certain sum and infielders, It was
agreed, were to receive another
was unwilling to believe that present
day ball players, drawing large salar-
les, would be content to equa1ize their
earning abilities with players who just
manage to hang on to the major
leagues.
President johnson said he hoped
Samuel Gornpers would first consult
the proposals recommended, adding
that the American league has never
been antagonistic to the American
Federation of Labor.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STEADY.
Gains Were Made of One to Three
Points i'm Speculative Issues.

New York, Jan. 16.-Further gains
of one to three points in the usual
leaders and more for various specula-
tive issues accompanied the course of
today's strong and broad market.
Total sales of 825, 900 shares were more
than double those of the preceding
session. az
Apart from a growing belief that
the recent selling has been somewhat
overdone and that the immediate flu
ture offers more ground for hope than
Encouragement, there appeared to be
no definite on tangible reason for the
rise.
For the most part the advance was
steady and without spectacular fea-
lures An extreme gain of three points
in United States Steel to lis gave
plausibility to the rumor that events
of importance may develop at the
two weeks hence.
Recoveries of two to eight points in
automobile issues, General Motors
leading. were REGARDED as drive
against the short interest, but the
greater strength of metals, including
zinc shares, seemed to originate in
renewal, domestic as well as foreign,
of last years inquiry for these
products.
Mexicans, including oils, responded
to the dissolution of the joint commits
sion and shippings were two to three
points better on intimations that for
eign freight rates are likely TO hold
indefinitely. Industrial Alcohol, Su-
CARS, American Wooden and other
stocks dependent upon tariff prospects
made variable but for the most part
substantial improvement.
The inquiry for rails was more sus-
tanned than at any recent period,
Reading and other coa1ers making the;
pace for grangers, transcontinentals
and low grade issues. Best quotations
were made in the last hour, which was
also the most active.
The firm tone Of sterling and francs
was the most noteworthy because of
the greater weakness of rates on zBer-
lin, Vienna and Petrograd, while ex-
change on Rome was at the lowest
level since the war.
Domestic bonds were strong, espe-
cially railroad issues, but information

ously talked of as a candidate for the
republican nomination as president,
but the admiral preferred to remain
in the naval ranks rather than to seek
such a venture in craftsmanship. His
admirers have since often spoken OF
him as the man who could have been
president if he had wished.
Early in 1914 Admiral Dewey again
became conspicuous in the current
news by revival of the long standing
controversy with Admiral Won Diede-
richs of the German navy regarding
the conduct of the German squadron
during the blockade of Manila Bay,
l6 years before. In his autobiography
Admiral Dewey criticised Won Die
drichs for failing to observe the ueu-
trality laws and told how shot was
fred across the bows Of one Of the
German ships to impress 10 with
the fact that the American navy had
established a blockade and would
countenance no undue activity on the
part of the German ships, suspected
at the time as friendly to Spain.
"a difference of opinion about in
ternational law had been adjusted,
said Dewey, without adding TO the
sum of President McKinley's worries"
A Great Student of History.
Dewey was always a great student
of history, he knew every naval cam
paign that had been Waged from the
days of ancient Greece and Rome, had
analysed them and knew why defeat
or victory had come from certain
movements and this without DOUBT
was one of the factors that contrib
uted to his own success in warfare.
One of the finest estimates OF Ad-
miral Dewey's character is contained
in a tribute rendered to him by his
oId-time shipmate, Admiral Sampson,
who was fighting the Spaniards in the
Caribbean while Dewey was lying lu
Manila Bay. resting on the laurels
he had won in the famous battle Of
the first of May. Sampson said:
1.-THE service knows Dewey rs an
ideal head of a Get. Perfectly cou-
rageous. of thoroughly balanced judg-
ment, and quick of decision, he has
the qualities which carry one 20 fame
If opportunity be given. The man
and the hour fortunately came to-
gether and the country Is FISHER Ga
another brilliant page of history and
another heroic figure. His career has
given a lofty impetus to the young
which will bear fruit in nobler as
pirations. He has become one Of the
most valued possessions which a ma
ton can have-a national hero"

Chicago. Jan. ia movement to
abolish the present governing board
of the National Association Of Minor
Leagues and create a new board of
three members to rule the minors was
launched at a meeting today Of the

The plan was suggested by A. R.

League, who commended that the pres
ent minor league board Of IL MEM
bers is too unwieldy and that it is
unable properly to serve the interests
of the minor leagues throughout the
country. The board, he said, seldom
meets and as its members serve with
out salary, they do not devote the
prouer attention attention to guess
tions confronting the smaller baseball
organizations.
Tearney advocated that the present
board be empowered with absolute
rule and that its members be remu-
nerated so that they could devote
their entire time to the sport
