kid" Shay lost his first Allison
Hill League game of the season last
evening when pitted against the
Reading team. 1t was the thirteenth
contest played in the league and the
number put the jinx on the youth.
Score, to 8. 1t was his only defeat
in four starts.
The Galahads put UP another of
their erratic contests. Like the girl
in the rhyme, When they are good,
they are very. very good. But when
they are bad they are horrid." Last
week they played two splendid ex-
hibitions, and won both.
On the other hand, the railroad
ers put up one of the best fielding
games seen in the league this season.
They fielded brilliantly and hit at
opportune times. While Shay struck
out nine of the members of the
winning team, the latter got their
hits in clusters, which brought in
the runs.
Reading sent two runners across
the plate in the very first inning.
Vic" Ibach reached first on an er-
ror. w. Euker was passed. wingard
erred on Levan's drive and both the
runners counted. In the next round
three more runners raced over the
pan. Tim" Euker knocked out
the first of his trio of bingles. Fo-
land made miscue and G. Swartz
reached first, Euker advancing to
second. The latter counted on Win
CARDS second error, Ibach going to
first. McCurdy raped out a pretty
double, sending two more across.
But the Reading captain was thrown
out at third in trying to stretch his
hit.
Not content with Ave runs, the
nine managed by Charlie" Pressler
ran the score 10 eight. Tim" Eu-
ker and f. Swartz made the hits that
brought in the tallies. Galahad also
had busy sessions in the third and
fifth. Shay and Cobaugh sent two
teammates home with timely hits.
Their final count resulted from Hol-
lands single and Shay's double. With
two out in the sixth, a threatening
rain and windstorm broke up the
game. The lineup and summary:

Decoration Day Afternoon

In order to protect picnic folks on
the afternoon Of Decoration Day the

closed, but in the morning they will
no doubt be very popular. The all
season tournament on these links be-
gins next Saturday and will con-
tinue until the last Saturday in Sep

trophy.
The Reservoir course is being kept
in excellent shape this year by the
Park Department and the green's are
becoming very fast through the ef-
forts of PRO" Fairbairn. No. 2 hole
has been moved back to its old place
owing TO the frequent loss OF balls
where IL was originally placed this
spring when the course was recon
structed.

Questions Burnquist
Asks Governor of Minnesota to
Answer Charges Filed by
Workers in State

WASHINGTON, May 91.-The Ma
tional War Labor Board to-day asked
Governor Burneuist of Minnesota to
explain why the Minnesota Public
Safety Commission had promulgated a
set of principles to govern Industrial
relations in that state which are dif-
ferent from those enunciated bv the
War Labor BOARD for the country at
large.
Joint Chairmen Taft and Walsh an
no'e,ced that the step had been taken
in consequence of a complaint filed by
the Minneapolis State Federation of
Lobar.
The letter to Governor Burnouist
follows:
"1n the course of proceedings before
our board dispute has arisen as to
your proclamation of March 80. 1918
in reference to the settlement of in
dustrial disputes during the war. In
this connection we should be grateful
if you would advise US as to the basis
for this proclamation and as to who
were the signers of the petition which
resulted in the issuance thereof"
The Minnesota safety commission
proclamati/i, against which the com.
plant is directed, reads as follows:

ognition of a union which had not been
recognized before the war

American Mission
Says Allied Labor
Is for War to End
Delegates Found British
and French Demand Vic
torious Peace

Germany's present drive On the
Western front has served to unite all
the labor elements of Great Britain
and the Allied countries in favor of
decisive military victory. according to
members of the American Labor Mis-
sion, which has just arrived in this
city after a two-months' tour abroad.
Even Arthur Henderson and his fol-
lowers of the British Labor party, who
have hitherto made such a strong cam
palgn for peace by negotiation with
the enemy, are now of the expressed
opinion that it is impracticable to hold
or attempt to hold, an international
conference. This remarkable unity of
labor was attested to yesterday at the
hotel Continental, where the mission
is staying, by Jonn P. Frey, of San
Francisco, one of. the members
The mission left last midnight for
Washington, where report OF condi-
tions abroad will be given, probably
to-day, to Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
under whose auspices the men went to
Europe. The report will probably be
made public at the A. F. of L. conven-
tion at st. Paul. Mimi, on June 10.

to judge of their efficiency as workers,
their attitude toward the war, the hard

has been possible to provide for them.
Too high praise cannot be given. the

whelming sense of the debt and graft

Chester M. Wright, another member
of the mission, Indignantly denied re-
ports published here that the body had
been coldly received IN Paris. He de-
clared they were treated with nothing
but the utmost courtesy and warmth in
Great Britain, France and Belgium.
Mr. Wright declared that the trip
had deepened his conviction that Amer
ican labor was correct in opposing a
conference with the Central Powers.
He declared that the pacifsts of Great
Britain were a minority and had no
effect on governmental policy.
