FAVOR AMALGAMATION

Seattle. - The Pacific coast metal
trades council has voted in favor of
amalgamating all metal trades inter-
national unions into one organization.
Metal trades councils will be asked
to vote on the project and if the de-
cision is favorable the metal trades
department A. F. of L. will be asked
to adopt the plan at it's Atlantic City
convention in June.
The convention rejected the award
of the United States shipping board
(known as the Macy board). Advo-
Gates of amalgamation claim that
this policy would check any attempt
to play eastern ship yards against
those located on the west coast.

Walsh Quits
RESIGNS FROM u. S. LABOR
BOARD
Pressing Professional Duties Render
1t Necessary That He Shall
Resume His Practice

Washington-Frank P. Walsh, JOINT
chairman with William H. Taft OF the
national war labor board, has re-
signed from that body. In his letter
to the president he says:
professional engagements, many
assumed prior to the creation OF the
board, make it imperative that l
should return to my practice at the
earliest possible moment. OF course,
could have no thought of resignlng,
small as my actual service may have
been, during the hostilities.
"Your confidence in me and many
acts of kindness during my service
upon the board l appreciate beyond
expression; although my respect and
admiration for you personally, as well
as my devotion to all Of the things
which you represent, could not have
been enhanced"
If the president accepts the reslg-
nation William Harman Black, alter
nate for Mr.. Walsh, automatically be-
comes joint chairman of the board
unless other arrangements are MADE.
Mr.. Black is a New Yory attorney.
Prior to Mr.. Walsh's letter the
board informed Secretary OF Labor
Wilson that they were anxious TO
return to their private affairs, but
that they would be. guided by the
presidents wishes. Secretary Wilson
was requested "to bring this matter
to the attention of the president IN
order that the board may be informed
of his wishes in the premises"
1t is stated that cases pending be-
fore the board in which the awards
will have retroactive effect number
more than 100. There are some 300
cases in which hearings have not be-
gun.

"FLU" TOLL LEADS WAR

Washington. - The recent epidemic
of influenza in this country caused
more deaths than occurred among the
American forces from all causes from
the time the first unit landed in France
until hostilities ceased.
This announcement made by the
United States census bureau, is based
on unofficial estimates of the total
casualties among the overseas forces
and reports from 46 cities having a
combined population of 23,000,OOO,
which showed 82,3O6 deaths from in
fiuenza and pneumonia from Sept. 8
to Nov. 8. =
Normally these cities would have
had 1000 deaths from these causes
during this period, it was said, leav-
ing approximately $4,000 as the num-
Der properly chargeable to the cpl
demic.
"The total casualties in the Ameri-
can forces," says the announcement,
"have recently been unoffcially es-
timated at 100000. On the basis of
the number thus far reported it may
be assumed that the deaths from all
causes, including disease and acci-
dents, are probably less than As per
cent, and may not be more than 40
per cent of the total casualties. On
this assumption the loss of life in the
American forces to date is about 49,
900 or 45,000."

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-12-19

Golf is planned for a great season
in Harrisburg after the war stuff
quiets down. Reservoir links and the
Country Clubs, considering the con-
ditions, were freely patronized. but
the Indications are that the patrons
will be doubled when spring comes
along.
Recently brisk discussion has been
going on as to the valJbe of consist
ent putting, and an interesting critic
gives this feature first place in steady
golf playing. Says he:
Although the long driver in golf
is soul inspiring fellow. and the
man who plays up to the hole with
deadly precision eXcites admiration.
neither of these is the opponent who
puts one out, Speaking generally, the
man who makes another nervous is
the adept at putting. There IS not
much doubt about 1t, the big half of
any well-contested match is fought On
the putting green. Every one know $
how often the hole is gained or lost
on the tricky last yard, or. what IS
equally to the point, failure to get
dead in the run-up on the green.
ut is this part of his game which
enables Charles Evans, Jr., national
amateur and open champion. to get
head and shoulders above the crowd.
How to Putt
"The pertinent question of How to
putt (though this does not guaran-
tee the holing of the ball in n. win
ming number of strokes) is answered
thus by an authority: Carefully SUR
vey the road to the hole, make up
your mind on exactly what Is to be
attempted. take up your stance. Judge
your distance, thereafter concentrate
your whole attention on the ball and
its striking. and especially don't see
the hole or anything but the ball un-
til the stroke is made

In this last game his team
