HAUGHToN DEGREES STRIKE"
Tells Ball Players They Ought to Sign
Contracts.

Boston, Jan. I5.--Percy d. Haughton
president of the Boston National league
baseball club, issued statement last
night criticising the Baseball Players
fraternity in requesting its members ia
withhold their signatures from major
league contracts until the fraternity's
troubles with the minor leagues have
been adjusted.
mo major league club owner he said,
believes the present situation will result
more seriously for the major leagues
than temporary annoyance.
"The fraternity's grievance is not with
major league clubs, nor with the national
commission, but with the national asso-
citation of minor leagues and its national
board. 1t should be borne in mind that
the major leagues have absolutely no
voice in the management or control of
the National association, an entirely in
dependent organization.
81 believe that the fraternity cannot
make any stronger move in popular es-
timation than to release the members
from their obligations to refuse to sign
major league contracts at this time and
to devote its efforts to obtaining its con.
cessions from minor leagues by direct
dealing with the national association of
minor league clubs in whatever manner
seems most desirable to the fraternity.
81 believe that there never was q time
when a closer relationship existed be-
tween the club owners and players than
right now. and / should regret very much
if the players, through their fraternity,
should persist in any attitude toward the
club owners that might cause even the
slightest trace of passive i'll feeling"

"ln the note of the allies to President
Wilson," he said, they make point
which is understandable to neutrals and
particularly to Amarica.
Italy, no less than her allies, awaits
with calm confidence the realization OF
her aims set forth in that passage of the
note which refers to the redemption OF
Italians subject to Austria.
"The German press seeks to depict
Italy as DESTROYS of conquests, but Amer
lean public opinion, so far seeing, so well
educated to freedom and to deep spirit
of national unity, cannot confound bru-
tai lust OF conquest with a justified claim
to territories with populations like those
of the Trentino, Istria and Dalmatia.
"These territories have had only one
civilization in their history, that of Italy,
and only one great humiliati0n-whic
must eease-that of foreign domination
which attempted to destroy the principle
of nationality. America knows well that
Italy, notwithstanding these just claims,
abstained from any provocation before
the German conflagrat ton, being occupied
only with her peaceful development.
Austria was responsible for the outbreak
of the conflict, having willed war with

SEIZE RECORDS OF BOARD.
Federal Agent Investigates to See If
Butter and Egg Prices Were Fixed.

Chicago, Jan. l6.--Special agents of the
department of justice Sunday examined
the books. records and files of the Chi
cago butter and egg board, seized Satur-
day in an attempt to determine whether
the organization violated an injunction
issued by Judge X. M. lands of the fed
eral court, in 1914, against fixing prices.
Robert w. Childs, special assistant to
the United States attorney general, de-
scribed the records as very interesting"
1t was intimated, however. that seizure
of the books and records of Elgin butter
and egg dealers was contemplated, ii be-
ing believed they would throw light on
the operations of the Chicago board. Of
ficials of the board, who made no objec-
tion to the governments seizure, asserted
there had been no violation of the lands
injunction.
