Mechanical VS. Operating
Dye Works Athletic Field, Monday
July 14th, 1919

We have heard it said many times
that children should be seen and not
heard" but Monday was n of the
days when the majority of the fans
would have been a whole lot better
satisfied if at least m of the
younger generation had not been seen
coming in contact with Trigg's wallop
into right field in the sixth inning OF
the game between Mechanical and On
Grating. When Tr;ggs came up to bat
his team was one run behs,rru. IN a
frantic effort to tie che score, be laced
n with all MS might far out into
right field when it ended it's flight
against the ribs of a youngster. That
is what the Operators claimed. Bit
ting, who was first basing for the Me
chanics, rushed out to recover the bali
Seeing Wilson was lost in the crowd,
he claimed the ball had struck an up
right on the large score board. Triggs,
who had walked on home, was sent
back to third base after much wrang-
ling and the side was retired without
the run being scored. The Operators
however, refused to take the field for
the seventh inning and the fans were
obliged to witness further argument
and rowdyism on their way home.
Trouble such as this has been brew
ing for sometime, and many cases of
rowdyism on the part of the players
have been noticed during league
games. Of course the umpires are
the goats and have not had suffi-
cient authority to bring an abrupt end
to such cases. 1t is admitted that the
umpiring has been faulty in most
cases, but questions arising regarding
decisions should be taken up by the
team leaders and not by the individ-
uals.
The Operators took the lead in the
third inning by scoring three runs on
a single, two passes, and two beauti-
full overthrows. Mechanical crawled
UP to within one run in their half of
the fourth when Goslin took a liking
to me of Duffy's southpaw slants and
damned it over into the road for a
homer, scoring n of his pals ahead of
him. In the next inning Goosetree
stopped n with his ribs and took first
to start things. After two unsuccess-
full attempts to sacrifice, Clouser drove
the ball far out into right field where
it was captured on the edge of the
bank, but Biting who batted next had
blood in his eye: AS Duffy wound up
he started running and swing at the
same time and landed on the ball with
a resounding smack, driving out. the
longest homerun seer on the Dye
Works field, giving Mechanical the
lead, 4 to 8. That was all until the
unfortunate disagreement aforemen-
toned.

Why Italy Entered

King Emmanuel and the Italians en-
tered the war for patriotic reasons.
One, to recover the Italian provinces Of
Triest and Trente and keep Austria
from taking more territory and re-
storing the pope as king. The pope
had been deprived of temporal power
by the army of Garibaldi in 1870, when
King Emmanuel l was made ruler of
Italy.
Italy did not enter the war until
France and Great Britain agreed that
the Pope should have no envoy at the
peace table.
Bismark drove the Jesuits out of
Germany. Kaiser William allowed
them to return and was beholden to
the Centerist Catholic party for votes
to get army support, because of the
socialist vote.
When France was whipped in 1870
by Germany, Napoleon III was the
main military support of the pope as
temporal ruler. 1t was Napoleon
III who put the Austrian prince Max
imillian on the throne in Mexico when
the United States were engaged in civil
war. When Garibaldi's soldiers made
a breach in the walls of Rome, Sep
TENDER goth, 1870, the power of the
pope crumbled for the first time after
more than 1000 years.

Employees Conference Plan

Now that the employees at the Dye
Works have had more opportunity to
read over and "sleep on" the pamph-
lets distributed among them outlining
the Employees Conference Plan, and
have gotten a more comprehensive
idea of just what is being offered
them, discussions of all kinds are being
brought up, most of which seem to be
in favor Of the plan. The scheme has
met with great success in many of the
country's largest industrial organiza-
tions and cannot fail to bring forth
better conditions for the employees, if
adopted. In fact, should it fail to do
so, it will be only because of the fail
ure of the employees themselves to
take advantage of the plan.
The dupont Company recognizes
that the close relationship which has
existed in the past between its officers
and all the other employees has con
tributed largely to the success of its
business and that the loss of such con-
tact would have have a detrimental
effect on the Company's prosperity
and the resultant welfare and happi-
ness Of its employees.
FOR these feaSonS an Employees Noh-
ference Plan has bee n devised, r
which the management n,aaf y
Regular inter rals, elected representa-.
Yfves Of the employees, for the discussion
Of all questions which affect their my
tual interests.
This plan is described herein and is
offered to the employees at the Dye
Works for their acceptance or reject
ion. A general election will be held
under the supervision of me time
office, on Tuesday, July END.

Buying the SteeIs.

The same confident operators who
turned the tide market on Friday by
stepping into the ring for good sized
blocks Of the steel group continued their
operations yesterday and were aided by
a good sized public following, which,
taking heart from boldness OF the mar
ket leaders, Is commencing to take
renewed interest In stock quotations.
The steel group as a whole made ad-
vances OF to points with more violent
moves In Crucible and Bethlehem b
because of special market activity In
those stocks. Practically all profess
sional gossip In the Street was yesterday
bullish, and some of the pools which
have been dormant, awaiting develop
ments In the steel strike situation, are
declared to have been revived. Wall
Street never has viewed the steel strike
as alarming, as has been shown by the
fact that all OF the stocks Of this group
have been snapped up quickly on re-
cessions In the words of the manager
of one large brokerage house. the mar
ket certainly indicates that the strike
has failed"

American Can.

The sharp advance In American Can
to within IN points OF Its high record,
touched three years ago. indicated yes
terday that the speculative possibilities
emphasized in Wall Street recently are
being realized by the public In addi-
ton 1t was learned from an authorize
tive source that there Is warm scrap
on In the market itself for stock con-
troll OF Can. Interests which have al
ways dominated the market in the stock
have made such disappointing showing
In years past that people who have held
big blocks of the stock have become
worn out and are fighting for the reins.
These people have decided that Can
common holders are entitled to a divi-
dend on their stock II goes without
saying that, II they can gain control II
will not be long before the mystery as to
when American Can will pay the hrst

The Pool in bethlehem steel.

Operators of the pool in Bethlehem
Steel, which was temporarily halted by
the steel strike on last Monday, re-
sumed operations In that stock yester-
day and despite threats of the strikers
that the plant Of the Bethlehem corpo-
ration will be closed tomorrow II
reached 10e. a new high for the year.
There Is considerable comment In the
financial district as to the strength in
the pool. II is whispered in quarters
from which good information usually
comes that the Bethlehem steel pool
compares favorably with the pool formed
to boost Sinclair Oil early In the year.
This clique took Sinclair, then regarded
as almost without market possibilities,
and moved 1t from the sos to the COS.
When II touched that mark the pool,
satisfied with is profits, was disbanded
and the stock has been disappointing ever
since. In certain circles the word is
passed along that when the history OF
the 1919 market be written Sinclair
will be recorded as the Midvale Steel

Coming Supreme Court Session.

Wall Street awaits the coming su-
preme Court session with more than
usual interest because of several cases
in which active stocks in the market
are involved. Probably the most i'm
portant case, from a market viewpoint,
is the one involving the stock tax issue,
IN which the question OF whether a
stock the par value OF which is re-
duced and in which holders are given q
number OF small shares for every one
OF their current holdings Is at issue.
Several large stock reorganizations, par
ticularly in the Standard OIL group,
hinge on this decision. Many corpora
lions stock OF which has advanced to a
price which does not assure market dis
tribution are awaiting this decision be-
Icre going ahead with their plans for
Republication. Another important case
10 come before the court is the anthra-
cite coal suit, first argued three years
ago and continued last year at the re-
quest OF the Government on account of
the war. The United States Steel suit
also Is before the court on appeal, and a
formal decree is anticipated during this
term In the American Can suit.
