MONEY MAKERS HURT SPORTS
Trouble Arises Between Owner and
Player When Discussion Of Re.
ceipts 10 Taken Up.

Grantland Rice says that the influ.
ence of money upon sport is bound to
be bad. There is no way out. AS long
as gate receipts continue to grow there
Is a certainty Of Ill feeling at hand
between those who pay and those who
play. 1t has been suggested that In
baseball a good many years ago there
was far less trouble between magnate
and player. This is true. But there
was also run Of smaller gate re-
GENTS. When admissions run up to
5000 and 10000 day and the pot in
creases, trouble Is sure to keep pill
ing up. The player wants to make all
he can get. The owner wants to get
oll he can make, both sides having the
true human touch. There is nothing
at all out of the ordinary in all this,
since the same conditions exist In
every branch of existence. 1t only
seems worse in a game, for everyone
likes to think that sport is divorced
from financial consideration, whereas
in this country sport and the love OF
watching sport have been capitalized
to the limit. The only way out would
be to abolish all gate receipts. And
this is no way out, for then there
would be no daily baseball. So base
ball will have to fight its way out, just
as various other trades have to scram-
h,a along. with n few breathing spells
between trouble. Big money has come
to the game, and big money means big
trouble when discussion of the proper
split arises. 1t may seem to be a
shame that great game should be
mared by loud and raucous debate
over the division Of the spoils, but
there are number of things in this
world that seem to be q shame that
can't be averted.
Trihuna want ads bring results.

sneed Of Waterfowl Measured.

The speed of waterfowl has often
been measured with great accuracy.
Two men take positions on a duck
pass a measured distance apart The
first man carries a stop-watch and a
pnn. and the second gun only. AS
the fowls pass the first blind the timer
shoots in order to brighten the birds
into full speed, and starts his watch.
AS the ducks pass the second blind the
man there fires q shot, and the timer
STOPS his watch. The usual length OF
the course is q quarter OF mile, al

Norman Lee, American Ambulance
Hero, Writes Interesting Letters
Of Life at the Front-luck G
Of Section Seven.

New YOrk.-E.;Ot Norton O. New
York city has r.cc. Cd Il letter from
an American volunteer in France, Nor
man Lee, eighteen years old, son Of a
newspaper man, who has been driving
an American Red Cross ambulance for
the last nine months, and who has re-
ceived the Croix de Guerre. The let
ter follows: -.------
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-08-02

threw the cot our: I,She caiiie back SO
quickly that 10 ono Ahad any doubt
that it still was there. Oh! 1t bothers
me, the gas more than the shells. It's
pretty rotten way to make war:
"A BOche avion came over the town
we stay in the other night and dropped
four bombs. One hit on the house next
the one the chief was sleeping In, the
rest few hundred feet from our
tents. No one was hurt. We called
it the luck of Section Seven. Strange
to say, the name Of the street all the
bombs fell on is rue de la BOlnbe.'
II had an interesting experience q
few days ago, in fact, at the time, 1t
was too interesting. If I remember
rightly I closed by last letter up in
order to get little sleep while l had
the chance. Well, hadn't been asleep
more than an hour when was aWak-
ened by the noise Of 'arrivees'-not
shells, but shrapnel. There was a
battery not far from us and the Boches
were trying to silence it by making the
gunners take to cover; hence, the
shrapnel. 1 might remark that the en-
trance to our dugout having once been
German now faced the wrong way
said entrance being covered by q
blanket. Each shot kept coming near
er, and you can't imagine weirder
sound than the whine Of bursting
shrapnel.
Burst at the Door.
"Pretty soon it came so near that
you could hear pieces hitting the top
Of the dugOut. The last one burst
the nearest-right in front Of the door.
Zowie! ing! patter, hit, bang! They
ripped through that blanket like a
clown going through paper ring at a
circus. held my breath and lay still.
Fortunately, none Of us got hit, but in
the morning we picked pieces out of
all the walls. The blanket resembled
huge piece of Swiss cheese. The
gunners came down in the morning to
look US over, and told us the Boches
hadn't succeeded in driving them from
their guns for a moment. We all
agreed with the brancardier, who re-
marked, Sale Boche.'
1.-THE same weather continues. Rain,
hail, snow and mud-inches deep.
Think of the poor wounded in it all.
But we do help them. With love to all.

Tailors

1t is claimed that forcing members
to pay for sick benefits keep down the
membership of our organization. Ex-
perience does not prove that to be a
fact. The membership of the l. T. U.
of A. was no greater before the adop-
tion of the sick benefit than it is at
the present time. To make the pay
ment of the extra dues optional would
mean bankruptcy in that department
in due time. 1t is known fact that
organizations that pay sick and death
benefits must keep adding to their
membership all the time to enable
them to meet sick and death claims.
Another fact is clear to all who know
the labor movement and that is that
the unions that pay the highest dues
and benefits are the most powerful
unions in the country. If the Jour
neymen Tailors Union is not as great
and powerful as other unions, don't
say the sick benefit law is to blame.
Say rather that the system of piece
work is to blame. The system of piece
work will not be abolished by reducing
the monthly dues or making the sick
benefit optional. If it did we would
heartily approve of sticking it out
altogether.-The Tailor.

News of the Labor Unions
Musicians

The United Managers Protective
association of Kansas City has decided
to turn down fatty the new wage scale
fixed by the Musical Mutual Protec-
tive Union, which is Local No. 80 of
the American Federation of Musicians
Managers of most of the Broadway
houses were present. 1t is said that in
case the union declines to withdraw its
demands the managers will dispense
with union musicians altogether, as
E. F. Albee of the Keith vaudeville
circuit, already has decided to do. D.
Edward Porter, president of the union,
stated that the new wage scale, which
becomes effective this month calls for
an increase from $50 to $35 in musical
comedy orchestras, S24 to S2s in dra-
matte orchestras, $3.50 to $40 in big
time vaudeville, $3.50 to S42 in motion
picture theaters like the Rialto and
Strand and S42 to $45 in picture thea
ters where more than 81 admission is
charged. The sentiment in the union
seems to be against a compromise,
and a strike may develop.

SHOW FAITH IN
THE UNION LABEL

A man who patronizes the union
label is the highest type of trade un-
ionist. All other acts, with the pos
sible exception of self-education, are
secondary. A union label on your col
lar is proof positive that your sympa-
thies are with the members of that
union. When you smoke union-made
cigar you know that a union cigar
maker will make another cigar just
like the one you smoked, and he will
receive union wages for making it.
When you buy shirt with the union
label sewed in it you can say: "a
member of the Garment Workers I'm
ion made this shirt and / know it was
made with clean hands. There is no
child blood on it." Even when you
are buried, if you are laid to rest in
a union made coffin, your last thought
can be comforting because your ashes
will mix with the ashes of the work
of a union carpenter.
Paying your dues does not fulfill
your obligations to your union. Your
union is only a small part of that
great army of workers who are fight
ing for justice. Permanent justice
cannot come to one union. 1t must
come to all when it does come.

LAR RESORT
:. & S. CARMEN
RETURN TO WORK

Two hundred Colorado & Southern
railroad carmen, who have been on a
strike for two weeks, have returned to
work following a series of conferences
which ended when the industrial COM
mission submitted a decision agree
able to the railroad company and the
employees.
The men returned to work on the
condition that the company will rec
ognize a committee from the employees
to draw up working agreement, this
action not to constitute a recognition
of the union, which was one of the
grounds on which the men walked out.
The matter of a raise in wages,
which was another cause for the strike,
was settled by the promise of the rail
road that it will meet any amount paid
in other shops working under the same
conditions and in the same territory as
the C. & S. shops. The Colorado G.
Southern is paying the same wages as
other roads. The men had demanded
an increase of 6 cents over their pres
