PROPOSAL IS
NOT FAVORED !
BY fasteners
Plan Is Bar Foreigners from
Competitions in Meets
ss$5 Declared Unwise.

New York, Oct. 12.-The proposal,
advanced by the Pacific Coast associa-
ton of the Amateur Athletic union, to
bar all foreign athletes from future
competition in national championship
meets, finds little favor among east
erp athletic authorities and followers
OfAtrack and. field sports. The
~ Of opinion indicates that it would
be a most peculiar action for the
American athletic organization to
take, as athletes from the states have
for years been the most consistent
travelling competitors and prize win
ner.
II was pointed out by a prominent
A. A. U. authority that there might
be some reason for such a proposal
on the part Of the Canadian union. in
view OF the fact that in past years
strong teams from the New York A.
c., and the Irish-American A. c., have
journeyed to Canada and swept away
every first prize and title at the an
nual Dominion championships. Amer
lean athletes also have been promi-
nent winners of titular track and field
honors in similar meets in England.
Scandinavia, and other European
countries. In every case u athletes
have been welcomed and where they
were good enough to defeat the best

The menace of the foreign athletic
invader Is Furthermore Of little dan
ger. Very few have been able in the
past to show their heels to The best Of
the American stars. as the records of
both home championships and Olym-
pic games clearly demonstrate. 1t
would undoubtedly be an impetus to
greater and better effort if a few in
vading performers could be found to
show the way to our stars. 1t is the
generally expressed opinion that after
peace reigns again throughout the
world there will be a great revival of
international sport competition. With
this thought uppermost in the minds
of the delegates who gather for the
annual meeting of the A. A.. u. at
Philadelphia on November 18, there
appears little possibility of the adop-
ton Of the proposed resolution.
The effects Of the war upon Ameri-
can athletics and athletes will be
clearly shown at this meeting for
there will not be a single application,
as far as is known by A. A. U. au-
thorities, for recognition of a new
worlds record in track OF field. Dur
ing the past indoor and outdoor sea-
son several records have been equaled
but in no case has an American ath-
lete bettered existing world records
under conditions which would appear
to warrant acceptance by the A. A. U.

ARKANSAS MINERS
ARE PATRIOTIC
Twelve Out of Fourteen Coal
Camps in One County Over
subscribes Its w. S. S.
Quota. Average SAL.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Aug. 3.-The
loyalty of organized labor was never
attested more strongly than it was by
the United Mine Workers of America
during the War Savings Stamp drive
chat lust closed in Sebastian county,
Arkansas. Twelve out of the four
teen coal camps oversubscribed their
assessments with combined total of
$43,31O.
Hartford was assessed $61 500, the
largest assessment given any district
in the Greenwood end of the county.
Hartford went over the top with a
majority of $4,000. Five hundred and
ninety-two persons subscribed at
Hartford, the largest number of sub
scriptions outside any district except
the city of Fort Smith. Huntington
was assessed at $4,000 and sub
scribed O,76O, or $10.76O more than
its assessment. Huntington exceed
ed its assessment by a larger sum
than any Greenwood district. Three
hundred and ninety-six people sub
scribed at Huntington.
Midland oversubscribed $4,000 and
came next to Huntington, Old Jenny
Lind, the oldest coal camp in the
Southwest, oversubscribed $2,270;
Hackett, 81, 400; Fidelity, $1,340; Ar
koal, $500; New Jenny Lind, ST.
s45; Montreal, $945; Prairie Greek
$500; Frazier, s4,780; Mine IS by
$2,470 and Bonanza, $3,405.
Greenwood was the only coal min
ing town in the county that fell be-
meath its quota. 1t was assessed at
| $45, 900 and pledged $S7,745, deficit
of 1885. However. the mines at
Greenwood have not worked since
early May, due to an overflow that
flooded the mines, which are now
being pumped at the rate of 100000
gallons day. 1t is estimated that

At Mine Is there are but 179 per-
sons and they averaged slightly in

hese subscriptions come at the
close of the Third Liberty loan and
the national Red Cross drive, which
were highly successful and in which
he coal camps again distinguished
themselves by again oversubscribing
their quotas in every instance. In
the Red Cross drive one Of the camp
subscribed as high as 175 above its
,uota. This honor went to Mine Is
and It's 179 population.
During the third Liberty loan and
Red Cross drives it was the rule of
the patriotic miners to insist upon
the discharge of any mine employee
who refused to subscribe for at least
bond or contribute to the Red Cross
At one mine % men had declined to
invest in bonds or at least voiced
objections. The mine operator was
notified by the other men that un-
less these men did buy bonds he
would either have to discharge them
or the rest of the men would not
work. The men bought bonds.
1t is this kind of spirit that made
Sebastian county the first of rs
counties in the state to report to
State Director Moorehead Wright
that it had not only reached its quota,
but had oversubscribed its quota,
which was $1,269 in War Stamps.
No more loyal coal miners can be
found in the United States than those
in Sebastian county, fact that is
attracting notice in every section,
particularly in those quarters gen
orally hostile to organized labor. La
Dor difficulties have decreased to a
minimum and the production of coal
is the largest ton record.
And the miners have not spent all
their force and resources, either.

DRIVING RIVETS SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
of Them Are Needed in
Steel Ship.

The largest single item in the labor
of fabricatipg a steel ship is in the
riveting of her hull; therefore the
driving of rivets is taken as a standard
of size and of progress by most of the
shipbuilders. To build n 10000 ton
ship n week means the driving of
about G50,O00 rivets n-that time. The
Union shipyards of San Francisco, as
at present equipped and freed from la
Dor troubles, can drive about 100000
rivets, although in a record week 1t
drove 411,0G0 rivets; the four next
largest yards in America-at Fore Riv-
er, Mass, at Newport News, Va, Mt
Camden, and at Philadelphia upon the
Delaware-can drive 100000 to 2T5,000
rivets a week each. A half dozen
smaller steel slIipyards viii drive from
$4,000 to 100000 each seven days.
Riveting, despite all the inventions
devised to speed it up, remains hand
work and slow work. A riveting gang
consists of two men and two boys
the riveter, his "holder-on," the passer
boy and the heater boy. THE gang

course of a ten-hour day and is tired
at the end of it. But when you know
that it takes four men all of working
day to drive an average of Il little less
than $50 rivets, you can begin to see
the full size of the labor problem of
driving at least 65O0C0 rivets week
necessary to turn out a 10,000-ton
ship at the end Of that length of time.
In other words you need 1000 men for
the riveting gangs alone.
Look at the matter from another an
gle, writes Edward Hungerford in Har-
per's. Ten ships q week-the tremen-
dous program for 1918 to which we
stand committed-means 6,500000 riv-
cts week. And the rivet capacity of
our five greatest yards-with a total
working force of $4,000 men at the end
Of 1917-was but 1,350,000 rivets
week. And riveting represents only
about 20 per cent in the construction
of ship.
