NEW PEACE MOVE SPURNEO

President Gompers CausticaIy Refuses
Invitation to Allow American Dele
gates to Attend Conference.

Washington, May 26. - Another eff
fort to get Americans to participate
in peace parleys at Stockholm fail
ed when President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor declin-
ed an invitation to send delegates to
a Stockholm trade union congress to
discuss the claims of labor in connec-
ton with peace negotiations. The
congress will meet simultaneously with
the Socialist conference.
Mr.. Gompers cabled this reply:
Americans Were Ignored.
Long before the United States en-
tered the war the American Fedora
ton of Labor proposed an information
al conference after the war when the
representatives of each government
were to meet to determine the trea-
ties and international relations. That
proposition was rejected. Now, after
the United States is in the war, you
propose a conference to be held at
Stockholm at same time and place
when the so-called international So
cialist conference is to be held at
Stockholm, and this proposition too,
without consulting with trade union
centers of the United States and 9TH
er countries.
No Good Expected.
There is no time by which Ameri
can organized labor could select del
egates to attend the Stockholm confer
ence June s, and l cannot see how
any good could come from our parti-
cipation in such a congress at this
time"
The head of the international fed
grafton of trade unions, which order
ed the Dutch organization to arrange
he conference, is Carl Legein, Ger
nan labor leader.

FORMER FED. MAGNATE
OWNS PITCHER SEATON

Here is a story unique in baseball.
It's a story of a magnate without
franchise; the yarn of man with
money invested in baseball, but with
no club; the tale of a man who owns
one ball player-no more, no less
Harry Sinclair. Oklahoma oil mag
nate, who was prominent in the Fed
eral league in it's last. days. is the
clubless owner, and Tom Seaton, the
pitcher, is his property.
The story runs like this:
When the Federal league ceased it's
existence Sinclair was in possession
Of several star players. He sold them
here and he disposed of them there,
and when the time came to close his
books Seaton was the only man left.
One of the reasons that he couldn't
sell Tom, who had been star with the
Phillies, was that he possessed a con-
Aract calling for more than $4,000 a
year.
Finally, Sinclair appealed to Presi-
dent .Weeghman and the latter an
SWeieO littI lie WOulQ take tne pltcnef,
but that he would make no payment
until Seaton had demonstrated that he
was the star of old If Seaton proved
that he still retained his effectiveness
then Weeghman would pay to Sinclair
$4,000 in cash and take permanent
possession of the tWirler but if Sea-
ton failed to make good then Weegh-
man would pay nothing.
That was the agreement, and Sea-
ton failed to measure to the mark of
u star. Finally he was sent to In
dianapolis. When the American as
sociation season closed he was turned
back to the Cubs and since President
.Weeghman had never seen fit to pay
The $4,000 he automatically became
the property of Harry Sinclair.
And there you are. Sinclairs hold
upon Seaton is the only visible con-
nection between organized baseball and
the rival that threatened it's existence.
and since that contract has expired all
sorts of complications may arise. Could
Sinclair sell Seaton and make the
transfer stick?, Is Seaton a free
agent? He belongs to no club. since
Sinclair, to whom he was bound, is
no longer in the game?
What's the status of Tom Seaton?

Hogs-The heft of the heaviest

market here today and in some places
it looked like a stronger deal. while in

State College Now Full
Fledged Member of Rocky

At the meeting of the Rocky Noun

membership in the conference, due to
the efforts of Or. Marshall. Represent
Ing the University of Utah. and Di-
rector of athletics bcnnion OF the
school across the mountains.
According to the Salt Lake Telc-
gram. tho action in admitting the Mon

was in defiance Of the Pacific North

by the Salt Lake writer that athletic
relations between the State Univer-
sity and the State College will again
be severed. Following is the article
from the Telegram in regard to the
action Of the conference.
Islands Off" Order.
The Rocky Mountain conference
thrust a def at the Pacific north

it admitted Montana State college to
full membership. Montana State uni
versity is in the latter conference and
word was received for the Rocky
Mountain people to lay hands off
Montana. The Copper state. accord
ing to people in the northwest be-
longs to that conference.
Coach Bonnion. the former Univer-
stv OF Utah coach and player made
such a stand for Montana State that
the Rocky Mountain officials decided
in polite terms to buck their northwest
neighbors, and the result is that Mon
tana has its university in the confer
another.
Now that the deed is done, il re-
mains to be seen as to what will be
the next move of the northwest. They
may refuse to allow the university to
schedule a game next fall with the
State college. and this In itself will
be serious; but the Colorado and Utah
schools have agreed to give Coach
Bennion's team games, so that he will
have full schedule. Already Denver
and the Aggies have arranged dates
with Montana for October and IA,
respectively, and Colorado college is
trying for a later date. This and
the games with Utah and Utah Aggies
will present a fair schedule.
The Universities of Wyoming and
New Mexico applied for permission
to play their freshmen. which was
turned down. The schools are small
and made the request on that ac-
count, but the danger of bringing in
athletics. coupled with the fact that
the colleges in the Rocky mountains
are NOT Large, was the reason for the
refusal

But now John Frederick Boiler, di-

says that Dietz signed n contract last
Saturday to coach the Washington
State eleven again this season.
AS Dietz steadfastly refused to ac-
cept cut of $1,000 in salary in the
contract which the board, of athletic.

is supposed that either they weakened,
the alumni agreed to raise the other

unable to connect with a soft job in
the east, decided to remain in the fer.

their hammers out for Dietz, because
his eleven was defeated a couple of
