Fenway Park, Boston, Sept. 10.- The Red Sox and Chicago Cubs touched off bombshell toward game time today by refusing to go on the field unless the national commission rendered an immcdiate decision to their demand for a readiustment of the worlds series division of the money receipts apportioned to the players.
 A committee of the players had met the national commission earlier in the day. The players then came tO the park and held meeting in their dressing rooms After q long talk they decided to call the commis- sion at once and say that they would not go upon the field until q decision was rendered. At 1:55 o'clock not a player had appeared upon the field, and there were reports that if the j commissions decision was against a readiusmeut of the players share in the game the Sox and Cubs would not go on with today's game.
 The commission had promised to take the matter under advisement, but insisted that there had been no formal guarantee and that any change in the division of the proceeds would have to be submitted to the club owners for ratification.
 The corn mission gave out figures of the probable division of the players pool of $69.527.7O as follows: Win ners' share, $23, ,152.72; losers' share, S15,435-15: teams finishing second in the respective leagues to get S15,- 4G9.91; those finishing third S9,- 2$1.50 and those finishing fourth, 3$617.97.
 The commission told the players over telephone that tho rate of ap- portionment had been suggested by the commission to the two major leagues; was adopted by the two leagues and, therefore, the commits sion had no authority to make any @hangC@. Chairman Hermann told the players that if they decided to strike under the circumstances they should at once go to the ga tes of the park and ask the management to stop the sale of tickets. This the players had not done at 2:15, when Stuffy McInnis was the only athlete in uni form. Meanwhile the crowd grew restless and there were repeated cries of play ball"

The report of the Federal Trade
Commission tells us what everyone
has known for months past, that
profiteering exists among American
industries" due to "inordinant
greed and barefaced fraud But
what interests the people most now
is what the Government is going to
to do to break up this "profiteering'
that has run especially rampant
since the war began.
The report declares that UMPIRE
cedent profits are shown in a survey
of the packing industry. In this
connection it is said: Five meat
packers, Armour, Swift, Morris, Will
son and Cudahy and their sub
sidiary and affiliated companies
have monopolistic control of the
meat industry and are reaching out
for like dominion in other pro-
ducts.
While the price of -four has been
stabilized by fixing price for wheat
and a maximum margin of profit for
flour, the report shows that profits
increased from an average of IL per
cent. on the investment for the four
years ended June 80, 1916, to nearly
38 per cent. in the year ended June
80, 1917.
Steel companies made abnormal
profits before the Government fixed
a price for the product, and it is
shown that some have since made
unusual returns.
In the oil industry large profits
are now being made in fuel oil and
gasoline.
Investigation in the coal mining
industry reveals in the opinion OF
the Commission that, despite Gov
eminent price-fixing, large margins
of profit have been made.
In practically every one of the
other industries covered by the re-
port it is shown unusually heavy
profits have been made in the last
few years. Abnormal salaries are
also shown to have been paid execu-
tive officials.
All this, and more, is shown, but
the remedy is not suggested. Mean
while the people continue to suffer
at the hands of the ''profiteers" and
grow lean in pocket-book, while the
said profiteers in all lines of indus
try continue to wax fatter and fatter
in undisturbed security.

Virtue In A War Garden.

There are thousands of anxious
hearts and fevered minds through
out the nation these days.
Beneath the coat that bears a
service pin on it's lapel there beats
heart torn by conflicting emotions
and in the home where the service
flag is displayed in the window a
mother thinks of, longs and plans
for her soldier boy or sailor son.
We are at war and every heart is
troubled at wars sad cost and every
mind is weary with endless question
ings.
We wonder how many thousands
have found the mind eased and
troublous thoughts banished by the
war garden?
The mother who solicitously tends
the roses and aowers-those glorious
children of the, sun and shower
must think of her boy, the flower he
loved best, and resolve to keep her
heart and home as bright and sun
ny as her garden for the sake of
that son.
The father hoeing his vegetables,
making the ground laugh harvest,
must<draw the parallel between the
thrifty rows and his strong and
stalwart son who is doing his bit
to save humanity.
He must rejoice in the feeling
that he is also dcing his share by
producing food to bring victory
helping feed his son, keep him fit
and well so that along with his COM
rades he may beat the Hun.
Many fear and heartache are
being buried in the war gardens of
the country. Many new vision is
glimpsed by the man digging among
his garden truck, many sustaining
thought born, many new resolves
made and fine action decided upon.
Yes, assuredly there is virtue in
a war garden even as there is virtue
in all Gods green out of doors.

Saving Beef.

Food conservation orders and
suggestions change almost weekly.
A short time ago we were urged
to go slow on pork products; now
we are told to eat them freely and
cut down on beef
We shall be very short on beef
from now on until the middle of
September, says the Food Admins
tration-that is, we shall be short
in proportion to the need of it,
So We are asked to reduce our
beef consumption per person to at
least a pound and half week.
The portion includes bone, a fact
which should not be lost sight of,
as it means one-third of the ration.
We do not consider that the in
junction will cause any deep distress.
There are many big families getting
along on much less than the sug-
gested portion per person every day.
And the increased production and
availability of pork will permit us
all to acquiesce easily.
Then the time is close at hand
when the war garden will give up
its good things to eat and it will
certainly do us good to go on a
vegetable diet for a little while.
OF course we, will save the beef.
1t will. be no hardship, and even if
it was, Americans worthy of the
name would accept it as being incl
dent to the job of beating the Boche.

Winning The War.

Labor is divided on the wet or dry
issue. So are farmers and doctors
and merchants and lawyers and
preachers.
But wartime prohibition is not
the wet or dry question. 1t is the
food question. The liquor business
consumes food equal to five million
pounds of bread a day. Labor is a
unit against that.
1t is the fuel question. The beer
business requires millions of tons of
coal year. 1t is said on good
authority that the coal used and the
cars required for it's transportation
would have averted the heatless, and
hence wageless days, with millions
of loss to laboring men and their
families. Labor takes an undivided
stand against that.
1t is the transportation question.
Last year when uncounted tons of
potatoes, fruit and other perishables
rotted for want of cars, the beer
business used 100000 cars and the
locomotives to haul them. Labor is
against that.
1t is the, man-power question.
With the need for men far outrun-
ming the supply, with the mothers
and the maidens Of the nation being
modified for the rigorous toll of the
farm, the manufacture, sale and
transportation of been requires 3OO,-
900 men in non-essential work.
Trust labor to oppose that.
1t is the /win-the-war question
If the Allied armies had been strong
er by ten per cent-probably by but
five per cent-history would have
written the story of the ''spring
drive" of 1918 on the other side of
the page. The men, money, food,
fuel, cars, buildings, profits, capital
and business enterprise required in
the beer traffic would have furnished
the men, money and material to
have strengthened our lines to a
Gibraltar against which the German
waves of shock troops would have
dashed themselves to pieces. All
labor, wet and dry is for that
And congress should stop the
waste, and stop it NOW! Not in
the interest of temperance; not to
speed prohibition; not to make men
sober by law; not for sentimentalism
BUT TO WIN THE WAR.
Our food conservation will re-
main farce until congress ceases to
save at the spigot while the beer
bung is wide open. Let congress
first cast the five million loaves out
of it's own eye, then shall it see more
clearly to cast the thick slice out of
the nations eye.
Every labor council and local, the
men and women in every factory and
shop should pass resolutions urging
immediate wartime prohibition, not
because they favor dry as against
wet, but because they are patriots
ready for any sacrifice to help to
win the war. These resolutions
should be sent to both senators, and
to all the congressman of the state.
And every worker should write a
card or letter of like purpose to his
senators and representatives.
Let every organization and indi-
vidual do his bit to hasten and in
sure victory.-The Unionist, Chicago,
Ill.
