The Operators And.
The Mine Workers.

The operators are again striving
to reduce the production of coal in
order to force the Presidents hand.
Now they say they cannot grant
the terms demanded by the miners
unless the Presidents prices are in
creased and fixed at from s. to S.. 50
ton at the mines.
This, too, when frost is only thirty
days ahead of US.
These operators are getting s. for
coal worth at the mines year ago
SI.32.
The President fixed limit to these
exactlons, and named sos as a fair
wages and profits.
The operators rebel, and refuse
even to confer with the miners.
They want assurance of S. for 81. 81
coal before they increase wages
Miners are getting IS cents more for
coal in 1917 than in 1916.
If the government yields to this pol
icy of sabotage, the operators should
at least be required to divide even
with the men their surplus price.
For every IS cents above the
Presidents price require the opera
tors to pay the miners I2H cents;
for every dollar increase exact for
the miners 50 cents.
Do not let the operators hide be-
hind the miners in order to plumber
the consumers in safety.-Louis-

EASTERN TEAMS CONSISTENT
PENANT WINNERS

Chicago, October 1U--When the Chi
cago White Sox COPIED the American
league championship this season, they
broke up the pennant-winning mono
poly long enjoyed by the Eastern
clubs That is to say. they broke up
the monopoly so far as the American
league is concerned. In the National
league the same old championship
trust is still doing business on the
Atlantic seaboard. Why the big
leaguers of the East have triumphed
so often over their Western brothers
ii, the race for the flag is a matter of
difficulty to explain.
Surely, there are as many star play
ers pastiming with the Western teams
as there are with the Eastern outfits.
AS matter Of fact, the individual rec
ords show that top-notichers in every
department of the game are more nu-
merous among Western teams.
And in the matter of management,
also, the Western teAms appear to be
OH par with the teams at the Eastern
end of the circuits,
Still, the fact remains that the ma
joc leaguers of the West are far be-
hind the Eastern FASTENERS in the win
ming of championships.
Since 1876, the first season of the
National league, there have been AZ
pennants won on the old circuit. Of
this number the Eastern clubs have
won 81 and the Western clubs Is. No
Western club has won a National
league pennant since 1919, in which
year the Chicago Cubs breezed home
a winner under the leadership of
Frank Chance.
From 1910 to the present time, the
New York Giants have won four PEN
nants, while the Boston Braves, the
Philliies and the Brooklyn Dodgers
have in turn COPIED one flag each.
In the West, Chicago and Pittsburgh
are the only pennant winners in the
National league, St. Louis and Cincin-

natl never having won the hoor. Chi
cago was the home OF pennants In the
carly days of the old league, the orig
inal White Sox having won six cham
pionships in the first ten years of the
parent circuit This string of pen
nsnts, with the addition of the four
won in later years, gives Chicago the
edge in the way Of championships
! The number Of pennants won by
cities comprising the National League
circuit, past and present, includes the
following: Chicago, 10; Boston, 9;
New York, s; Brooklyn, 4; Pittsburg,
4; Baltimore, 81 Providence, 2; De-
troit, 1; Philadelphia, l..
or the pennant- winning managers
now in the National league, McGraw
Of the Giants leads the list with six
championships to his credit. Stall
ings Of the Braves, Moran Of the Phil
lies, and Robinson of the Dodgers
have one pennant each.
In the American league II is pretty
much Of tse same story. The Eastern
teams have shown the way in major
ity of the races for the bunting Eight
cen championship races have been
staged since the American league was
organized. OF this number the East
ern clubs have won eleven pennants
and the Western clubs seven.
Until the White Sox grabbed the
honor this season rv Western team
had finished at the tip since 1879, when
the Detroit Tigers brought home the
bacon.
Philadelphia tops the list of Ameri-
can league pennant winners, the Ath-
letics having won six championships.
Next in order come Boston with five,
Chicago with four, and Detroit with
three.
Among present American league
managers who have won pennants, the
West has it on the East three to two.
Connie Mack of the Athletics, Clark
Griffith of Washington. Hugh Jennings
Of Detroit, Clarence Rowland of the
White Sox and Fielder Jones of the
Browns are the champion pilots. Grit
fifth and Jones both won pennants
while managing the White Sox.

can and, National league pennants
Eastern teams have won SO to % for
