A CONCRETE SUGGESTION

tentative Ian for the adoption by capital and labor
of gentemen's agreement looking to the elimination
g" strikes and ockous has been proposed by Stephen
Mason, president of the National association OF Mann
tacturers for consideration y the Industrial conference
to be held in Washing "a net month As the head Of
this great organization embracing 5000 manufacturing
plants in all sections fthe country Mr. Mason recog
nizes the nterdependence of capital and labor ard The
wastefuness of attempting adjust differences through
stoppage of operations either by strikes or lockous
Mr. Mason proposes that joint gentlemens agree
ment be entered into between organized industry and
organized labor for the purpose putting an end to the
industrial and agitation now raging in the limited
States and with view to avoiding strikes ockouts or
other Interruptions of production He suggests that the
covenant remain in force until the President declares the
period of industrial readustment to be at an end He
proposes that the President shall appoint Joint com
mttee representing organized industry and organized
labor to draw up an agreement possibly along the lines of
that observed during the nconnecton with the work
of the labor board and to secure the enactment by
Congress of joint resolution declaring such an agree
ment in the public interest An arbitration board is
provided to decide such disputes as may arise
The proposal of Mr., Mason gives ground for the hope
that the conference will be able to reach conclusions
which will be helpful in solving the industrial sution
Its basic principle is truse to industrial war and re-
course to arbitration for the settlement of labor disputes
If employers and employees be brought to the point
of accepting this fundamental principle the United States
will be able to avoid the waste and suffering that accom-
pany industrial The details of the plan are of
minor Importance The main thing is to get men to
to submit their to arbitration to resort to
rather than to force If they will do this pro-
ducton be maintained uninteruptedly and in due
time all the inequalities may be ironed out with equal
justice to industry and to labor and with proper con-
sideration for the public veal

CONFINEMENT AND THE COST OF LIVING.

You are worrying whole lot, making the members of
your family unhappy, because your increased income
does not go so far as the small salary of other days.
Don't you realize that if your pay has not increased
proportonately to living costs that your family is not
to blame?
If you have an economical family, the different mem
bers living as cheapy possible why harass them and
disturb that peace of mind which essential to COM
fort?
Daily arguments breed discomfort and resentment and
the more if unjust.
Your home is not the only where the same struggle
is going on,
Be sensible.
Because you find hard to get ahead what you earn
you need not drive peace and happiness from you~ fire.

Home contentment is the most valuable thing in hfe
Keep the good feeling no matter what is the cost of
living.

Breaks against you now and then
That's the common fate of men;
Things won't always go your way,
Best of plans have gone astray,
Best of men have met defeat,
Someone failure has to meet,
Only petty natures wall
When it comes their day to fail.
Do your best and play the game,
Take the loss and bear the blame,
Don't recall the tricks of fate,
You can lose and still be great;
Play the man and not the boy,
Do not spoil the victor's joy
When defeat is yours to face
Fight to win, but lose with grace.

OFFER NO EXCUSE

OFFER NO EXCUSE
Do your best and let it go,
Take the failure and the blow,
Fight to win, but bear the cost,
Say you struggled hard and lost;
Do not whimper nor complain,
Do not bitterly explain
Why your battle went astray-
You may win some other day.
What if hard luck hits at you?
1t shall hit your rival, too;
What if all your strength and skill
Seem to fail you? Just keep still,
Shrug your shoulders and keep on
Fighting till all hope is gone;
Stick and see the struggle through
Luck may turn and favor you.

With Three Straight Wins Tucked Away, Local Seek
 To Clean Up N. H. Series
Bridgeporters Meet Elm City Team Again Today in New Haven-Pittsfield Here Tomorrow.

With three straight victories over the George Weiss-owncd New Haven contingent to their credit, the Bridge port Americans today were hopeful of returning to Bridgeport with all four games carefully and safely tuck ed away. Chances that they would
 accomplish such a feat were much in
 favor of the local contingent
 While the to victory that the
 Bridgeporters scored yesterday at New Haven came as pleasing surprise, particularly in view of the fact that defeat to the New Haveners this time
 came right on their home grounds
 and on their opening day. But vic
 tory was deserved by the Bridgeport CTS, for their new hucler Shields worked hard and pitched effective
 ball.
 But while locals were pulling for another victory today, their interest was centered in the contest scheduled
 with the Pittsfield team tomorrow
 afternoon at Newfield park. Lennon will in all probability twirl tomorrow with Buster Brown again officiating as umpire. The Americans will re- main here until next Wednesday when they go on the road, returning l the following Sunday.
 For an opening game the contest yesterday was satisfactory III every
 respect-to the Bridgeporter. There | were many fans from Bridgeport at | the game and these rooted enthusias- tically for an American victory. | Tillman, a youngster who spent a | short time with the St. Louis Browns,

Kings County Handicap
 Will Be Feature of Third Season-Ima Frank a
 Star.

JAMAICA, N. T., May 17---Another throng was booked for today at the third meeting here. There surely is attraction enough to draw 'eIn here, anyway.
 This is the day of the Kings County Handicap at one mile and sixteenth. And judging from the entry list a very interesting affair it should be, too.
 Guy BedwelI changed his mind at the last minute and shipped Cudgel here from Maryland to start in the race he won a year ago. as part of his preparation for the Kentucky Handicap next Saturday.
 Bedweli returned to Baltimore, yes tertlay, to saddle Sfilkmaid for the Pimlico Oaks, but left Cudgel here in charge of Frank Stevens.
 The horse which beats this five year-o1d son of genia Burck, will carry off the purse of s, ,O0O He has worked well and Johnny Loftus will have the mount.
 The second day of the meeting was replete with sensation. For instance, Startling grabbed the Arizona Han dtcap, but it was up to Ina Frank to furnish the big excitement

SCHAEFER WAS
 GAMES FUNSTER
"Con" Gets, Baseball's Comedy Man While on Way to New York.

New York, May 17-Herman Ger many) Schaefer, who succeeded Arife Latham as the jester of the national game, died suddenly yesterday at Sar- anac Lake, after an illness of several months Tuberculosis was the cause of his demise, but as he was not thought to be in immediate danger, the news of his end came as a shock to the public and members of the New York team, for which he had been acting as scout. Schaefer was born in Chicago Feb. 4 1880, and was Ss years of age at the time of death
 He began his career as a ball player with Sioux City in 1898, and his first major league engagement was with the Chicago Nationals in 1899. Later he switched to the American League and played second base for De- troit, his last important engagement as a player being with the Washing ton club. He lost his playing form while with the Senators, but was use full as a coach and funmaker- TWO years ago Schaefer was released by Washington and joined the Yankees as coach and scout. Subsequently he was released and then was engaged by McGraw as scout.
 Schaefer was known as Germany" or put lS CdhSSAiCo eASco sobriquets when the world war began.
 Schaefer accompanied the Giants and White Sox on their tour of the world and his fun did much to keep the teams in good humor. He was at Gainesville, Fla, during the training trip of the Giants. and serned to be in fairly good health, although he had spent the winter at Lake Placid owing to unfavorable symptoms. The coach was in high good humor while in the South, and came North at the close of the tour. It is feared that the sudden change from the mild Southern climate to the bleak weather of the North resulted in a relapse.
 Schaefer's comedy was clean and wholesome, albeit athletic. One of his performances was an imaginary tight rope walk, using the chalk line on the field as the rope. His narrow escapes from falling were provocative of mer- riment.
 He also was in the habit of staging a wrestling match in which he threw himself after a desperate struggle. The body of the dead ball player will be shipped to his sister. Mrs. Mar garet Hawley. at Chicago.

nothing that could favorably
 compare with their play in
 Bridgeport the two days pre-
 vious. And Bridgeport, well
 aware of the locals anxiety to
 cop the opener, proved the theory
 that there. is no sentiment in
 baseball.
 Tillman pitched the entire game for New Haven and was hit safely ten times. Except in the fifth and sixth, Brid dgeport had runners on the bases in every inning and they had a knack of producing a blow when 1t meant a run. Four of their five runs may be traced to well-p1aced clouts. In the fielding department Bridgeport played gilt-edged ball. LaPs haste to toss a ball to second base in the fourth in- ming deprived the team of an other wise perfect record. Martin, who ea- vorted fin the middle pasture. made the most brilliant play of the after noon in the fifth inning when he ran about 50 yards and clutched Nutter's fly with his gloved hand. Tai, at shortstop, and the veteran, Baker. at second, robbed New Haven of labelled hits through sparkling bits of fielding. New Ravens players hit the ball hard enough but a Bridgeport fielder was usually 1n the r1RnI place.
 The Weissmen garnered but three widely scattered hits of Shields. Shields, however, uncorked tempor- ary streaks of wildness, passing four batters and hitting two more, He overcame this disadvantage by show ing at his best while the cream and maroon attired New Haveners were populating the paths. Meyers doubled with one out in the second and moved up to second when Raymond drew pass. Leid then hit into a double play. In the third Shields hit Roth and Nutter but Torphy and Davidson could do nothing in the pinch. Again in the fourth 1t appeared as though New Haven might sneak a run across the plate. Raymond singled with two and reached second when Lai made foozle of Leid's grounder. Roth walked, crowding the bases. Manager Meyers chose to let Tillman bat in stead of a pinch hitter and he rolled out to Grimes. Davidson and Fay walked with two out in the fifth but the slow footed Meyers was tossed out by Baker, on close play. Leid's single came with one out in the ninth but the insertion of pinch hitters fail- ed to push him along.
 Bridgeport scored in the first
 on Martins double, a passed ball
 and Brackets long fly to Nutter.
 Lai's single, Tillman's error of a
 thrown ball, an infield out. and si
 Grimes single accounted for
 another in the third. Trouble
 broke loose in the seventh when
 three successive hits. one a dou-
 ble by Braun, gave the visitors
 their third run. The game was
 placed in the cooler in the eighth
 when Raymond's error. . sacri-
 flee. Bakers scratch hit and a
 single by Braun, spelled two moro
 runs.
