MARSANS WANTED A
JOB WITH YANKEES

New York, July 19.-It was learned
last night that Armando Marsans, the
Cuban outfielder Of the Yankees, has
Jumped" the team and returned to
his home in Havana.
The club officials announced a few
weeks ago that Marsans had gone
home because of sickness Of a rela-
tive. However. 1t seems that Marsans
was disappointed because MANAGER
Huggins would not play him regular
ly. The Castilian was willing to shift
with Gilhooley in right. playing when
the opposition was working left
hand pitcher and resting when q
Highlander was flinging.
Last week Bodie was forced to re-
tire because of a bad leg. Caldwell
was then assigned to play center, Mil
Ter being shifted to left. The temper
amental Marsans did not favor this
move, believing he should have been
given first call so he hoped boat

ARMSTRONG AT
F. CAMP CUSTER
Veteran Trainer Has In
structed 26,204 Soldiers
in Art Of Boxing.

Within less than two months time
Billy Armstrong, camp boxing instruc-
tor at Camp Custer. Michigan. mas
taught 26,204 soldiers to box. These
figures are from the army records and
do not represent estimates or guesscs.
On two occasions Armstrong has hal
more than $500 men in his classes.
Although he comedies the value of
boxing exhibitions between expert
enced fighters as a stimulus to novices.
Armstrong does not believe that pro-
noting exhibitions shsuld constitute
a major portion of his work. Teach
ing as many green men as possible
how to use their fsts effectively Is his
greatest task, and Billy Is devoting
every energy to this very stunt.
The Custer instructor is no aovice
at the fighting game. More than
twenty years ago he was training
cha1npions, and when Kid Lavigne.
the famous Michigan lightweight, de.
,feated Joe Wolcott at Mechanics
Pavilion in San Francisco in 1897. it
was Armstrong who trained the Kid
and worked in his corner during the
fight.
Billy went to the Montreal Athletic
Club as boxing instructor in 1901.
When the war broke out in 1914 he
was given a similar position in the
Canadian army. He worked in Carms
Petewawa and valcartier. and 1t was
while at the latter place that he
trained the troops which later took
part in the famous engagement at
Vimy Ridge.
When the United States entered the
war Armstrong offered his services
to this country. He was accepted and
assigned to Camp Hancock. Later,
when the Charley White mix-up left
boxing conditions at Custer in chaos,
Armstrong was picked as the nan
most likely to straighten nut the
situation. This he has done to the
satisfaction Of all concerned. :

LOSS OF STARS

champion White Sox. who were Gid
ing along gracefully in the first d.
vision and pressing the other leading
teams for first place, are now in
sixth position of the American League
standing
Clarence Rowland, manager of the
team, declares that the slump of the
club has been due to the loss of sew
eral of his best players. During the
last series in this city Rowland mem
toned his good fortune in not being
hit as hard by the national army
draft as had been some of the other
clubs in the league. -
But the tables are turned. Perhaps
Rowland didn't tap wood when he
made that remark early in May
Through the shipyards and the draft.
Rowland since has lost Joe jackson.

the larger part of the slump of the
White Sox to the loss of these play
ers.
Then. too, Eddie Collins, the for
mer Mackman, has not come up to
Rowland's expectations with his hit
ting. He Is not the heavy hitter
that he>used to be and Is not getting
around the bases. Rowland cannot
seem to explain 1t. He declares that
Collins recent injury has nothing to
do with his slump. ''1t is just a COM
mon. ordinary. everyday slump. that's
ALL"
Eddie Cicotte, the master Of the

turn in a great many wins for the

Try BLUE RIBBON" Cigar. &c
THE SCRUBWOMEN
GET RECOGNITION

New emphasis upon the case of
women workers and the principle of
equal pay for equal work is given
in the decision of the federal arbi-
traitors, ex-President Taft and
Frank p Walsh of the National
War Labor Board, in the award con-
corning the General Electric Com
pany and it's employees, which is
announced today. For the Science
tady plant the minimum wage for
women is fixed at SIS per week,
except for scrubwomen, whose mini
mum is to be 1880 per week with
the present hours of service, which
are four hours per day, beginning
at o'clock in the morning. Adult
women in all classes of employment
in the plant will receive an increase
of 20 per cent, the same as the male
employees, and in all cases where
women perform the same work as
men, they shall be paid the same.

case was taken to the National War
Labor Board by the striking en-
ployes of the plant about six weeks
ago. ard by agreement Of the com
rany and the workers, Mes rs. Taft
and Walsh were named as arbitra-
tors. Their decision, consequently,
stands as final without re-reference
to the Board.
The minimum Of 5000 for scrub
women was fixed at The instance of
Mr. Taft. The rate in force was S.
per week. 1t was developed in the
hearings that since the So thus
earned between and 8 o'clock in
he morning was by no means suffi-
cient to live on, the scrubwomen had
to work the rest of the day over
the washtub. The decision Of the
arbitrator in this respect will un-
doubtedly be held to establish a
precedent of far-reaching import
ance, for the Government itself pays
less than $8.75 per week for six
hours work per day by the char
women employed in the executive
departments at Washington, their
work beginning at 7 o'clock in. the
morning
The award of the arbitrator
with reference to the Pittsfield plant
of the General Electric Company,
grants a general increase Of 20 per
cent, as at Schenectady, with
minimum of AZ cents per hour for
men and 30 cents per hour for wom-
en-, with the provision that women
performing the same work as men
shall be paid the same.

NON ESSENTIAL WORK
DEFINED IN CAPITAL

| The District of Columbia Commun-
| ity Labor Board of the United States
employment service has suggested a
list of non-essential labor. While
this list applies only to the nations
capital, and may be enlarged, it is
believed it will serve as a guide for
local boards elsewhere.
The following industries ani call
ings are referred to as non-essen-
tia!:
Auto industry accessories; drivers
of pleasure cars-ceaning, repairing
and delivery of same; sightseeing
cars, auto trucks engaged in work
other than fuel or government work;
toaming other than delivery of prod
ucts for war work; bath and bar
Der shop attendants; bowling alleys,
billiard and pool rooms; bottlers and
bottle supplies, candy manufacturers,
cigars and tobacco, cleaners and
dyels, clubs, confectioners and deli
catessen establishments, builders and
contractors not engaged in the cree
ton of structures for war work,
dancing academies, mercantile stores,
florists, fruit stands, junk dealers,
livery and sales stables, pawn brok-
ers, peanut vendors and establish
ments, shoe shining shops, window
cleaners, sof. drink establishments
soda fountain supplies.
The board was guided in these de-
cisions by this general policy of the
department of labor:
"For the purposes of the centraliz-
ing of war labor recruiting pro-
gram, war work means:
81. The manufacture Of products
or the erection of structures direct
iy or indirectly supplied to some de-
partment of the government for use
in connection with the war. In
directly supplied includes goods de-
uNtIcu ullOCl ouD-COlGt dSCS W SON-
eminent contractors.
"2. Coal mining is wholly war
work.
"3. Railroads and farms are en-
gagged in war work to the extent
that under this program they are
protected from all recruiting by 9TH
er Industries.
"a. The making of products which
may ultimately be used for war
purposes, but which are not to be
delivered either directly to the gov
eminent or to some contractor who
uses them in producing or as a part
of products to be delivered to the
government, is not considered war
work"
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1918-09-13

the general welfare, viewed from
broad standpoint.
1t is a direct legislation league.
The initiative and referendum, which
are the cardinal features in the
structure of the constitution, en-
ables a small number of unions to
propose amendments and substitutes.
They are submitted to referendum
vote, with or without any discus
sion, as the case may be, and APP
proved or rejected. This form of
legislation is simple, direct and eff
fective.
1t is a school of economics. The
Manchester school of political econ
omy, from Adam Smith to the pres
mt day, has evolved school of
doctrines and critics of all shades
md colors; it has evolved a system
Of speculative philosophy not based
IN concrete cases and facts. Numer-
us books have been issued on the
functions of capital, the value of
abor, the rate of wages, and prof
It's, the laws of supply and demand,
# exchange, finance, etc. The trade
union has, in the attempt to improve
he condition of the worker, exposed
-hese economic fallacies. 1t is de-
veloping a new school, which is pure
and simple, and based on facts and
scientific investigation.
1t is a debating club. The bust
ness of the union, be it of routine
character or of a more complicated
nature, involving questions of vital
import, requires discussion and de-
liberation. Points of order are raised
which require careful decision; the
motions under debate are amended
and substituted. Parliamentary skill
is brought into play; the natural
abilities of the members as debaters
and parliamentarians are developed
by constant practice. The progress
made in this direction in the course
of years, is of vital influence in the
affairs of the nation.
1t is trial court. The rules of
the union require, for the manage
ment of its affairs, the enforcement
of discipline and obedience to the
laws enacted by the majority. Pun
ishment as a deterrent, in the shape
of fines, suspension and expulsion
from membership, form a part of
the laws. The right of trial and
defense is accorded to every men,
Der, with the privilege of appeal
from one court to another, reaching a
final decision in the highest court
by referendum vote of the men,
bers.
1t is an industrial democracy. The
object of the trade union is primarily
industrial. 1t aims to elevate the
economic conditions which affect the
welfare of the workers upon a high
err standard of usefulness and eff
ficiency. The ideal is equity based
on full measure of justice, COM
patible with the general welfare.
From these objects it cannot depart,
without destroying the foundation
upon which its structure is reared.
