 The game was another of those hard fought affairs that go to make baseball the great American sport. The locals tie up again this afternoon with Mike Films tribe in the third game of the series Moley will doubtless use Hill and Finn most likely will pitch Ring The 'Noogans and the Barons are about as evenly matched as any two teams in the league.

|. 100000 WORKERS
Employment Service Gets Re-
ports on War Needs.
U. S. CONTROLS INDUSTRY
L.
Federal Government Now Has Charge
of Recruiting of Unskiiled Labor
for Military Work-To ACT
Through State Boards.

Washington, Aug. "A shortage OF
100000 unskilled workers in war in
dustries is shown in incomplete reports
to the department of labor's federal
employment service, which took over
the recruiting of this class of labor Tor
war industries employing maximum
force of 100 or more persons. Final
reports, it was announced, are ex-
pected to show a shortage of l,OOOooo
workers.
War industry was defined in the an
nouncement by the employment service
as the manufacture of products OF
erection of structures directly or indl-
rectly supplied /, to some department
of the government for use in connec-
ton with the war;" Coal mining also
was classified as wholly war work.
While they will be protected from
recruiting by other industries, rail-
roads and farms must obtain their I'M
skilled labor by other means than
through the federal employment serv-
ice, the announcement said.
Through the operation OF the system
Of government recruiting, it is believed
unnecessary movement of labor from
community to community and from in
dustry to industry will be obviated;
wasteful labor turnover be largely
eliminated and wages will be staDi-
lized.
To Work Through State Boards.
The employment service, of which
John B. Densmore has been named
director general, will work through
state boards which in turn will con-
troll labor through community boards.
Machinery of the service has been
modelled largely on the plan or organ
iZation utilized in administering the
selective act.
AS now effective, government re-
cruiting will apply only to unskilled
labor. Regulations are being made
whereby 1t will be possible to extend
the system to the recruiting of skilled
labor. All private agencies for the re-
cruiting of labor are prohibited.
The understanding, cooperation and
good will of the American people are
called on to aid in making the system
a success by Secretary Wilson.
Control of the nations telephone and
| telegraph systems also is now in the
| hands of the government.
All officers and employees OF the
companies. Mr.. Burleson directed, will
| continue in the performance of their
present duties on the same terms or

2 MILLION AN HOUR ON WAR
United States Expenses Are Running
About $50,000,000 Day.
Says Report.

Washington, Aug. 1.-America's war
expenses now are running about 90 per
cent higher than those of Great Brit
ain, it was. shown by comparison OF
treasury reports and newly issued
British financial statement. Owing to
the shorter time the United States has
been in the war, however, the national
war debt is only one-third as large as
that of Great Britain and the indi-
yidual burden of taxation in this coun-
try is only about one-half as much as
it is in England.
The United States is spending about
S5OOOO,O00 day, or more than $4,000
600 an hour. The nations war debt Is
now a little less than $12,500, 100000 as
compared with Great Britain's $780,
675,OOO,0O0.

RAIL WAY MEN WARNED
BY SECRETARY M'ADOO
Best Work and No Strikes Expected
Must Earn Higher Wages
Allowed.

Washington, Aug. Railway en-
ployees were told by Director General
McAdoo, in announcing details of the
wage increase for more than 100000
shopmen, that the nation expected new
energy from the workers in return for
any increases and improvements in
conditions and that strikes and other
labor disturbances must be eliminated
"In reaching the conclusions upon
which this order is based" said MIR
McAdoo, Il have been keenly conscious
not alone of the interests of the large
number of railway employees who are
greatly benefited thereby, but also OF
my solemn duty to the American peo-
pie to see to it that the trust they have
committed to me is discharged faith
fully with justice to them.
mo right decision can be made
which considers only the demands and
interests of any class of men apart
from the paramount interest OF the
public and the supreme necessity OF
winning this war.
Nov that the decision has been
made, the American people, whose SER
wants we all are, expect every rail
road employee to devote himself with
new energy to his work, and by faith
full and efficient service to justify the
large increases of pay and the improve
ment in working conditions hereby
granted. The American people have
right to expect this and they will be
content with nothing less"

Of the strength OF each side.

Labor won first blood when Mrs.

not guilty.
Then the fight centered upon
Mooney. Fickert brought witnesses
upon whom the entire case for the
prosecution rested. Fickert showed.
by means OF q photograph, that
Mooney was on the roof Of building
near which the parade passed. the
same photograph, however. showed
clock on the sidewalk, which proved
that, IL Il was correct. Mooney could
not have been at the place at the
time when the bomb was thrown as
specified by the prosecution.
Mooney finally was convicted upon
the testimony of several witnesses
whose statements had been partly
disci edited in previous trials on ac-
count of their police records. Later
the chief witness confessed that his
testimony was false and that he was
paid to testify as he did.
Laws Prevent We" AEAAA'
1t was impossible to grant new
trial for Mooney on account OF this
confession, as the laws of California
which governed the case, prevented
any action except by the governor.
Appeals were taken to the California
Court of Appeals. the California Su-
preme- Court and the United States
Supreme Court, but without avail. All
held that the confession of the chief
witness against Mooney must be
placed before the governor for action.
The case was placed before PresL

Policies Board. The commissions
report favored Mooney. The fight
now is conferred upon action by Gov
