Britain's Labor Problem
From ''The British Industrial c

From "The British Industrial Crisis ''
 by J. Laurence Loughlin, in Scribner's.
 Looking at the crisis from the labor point of view, and with full sympathy for it's desire to have a fuller life and a higher standard of living, there is much to be said for it's accomplishment. How can the workers obtain this? Ob- viously, not merely by having more wages to spend In Wales, where hous- ing conditions among the coal miners nave been pictured as exceptionally bad 1t has been shown that war wages have been more than sufficient to obtain de- cent houses, but that adherence to old naplts IS so strong as to prevent an im- provement in the standard of living. A reduction in hours of labor by no means leads inevitably to mental or moral, ,im- proVement, but only too generally to more hours in the public houses. Im- provements in moral standards and in the quality and efficiency of British ed ucation is of far more importance than more money to spend.
 Granting, however, that higher waees would bring higher standard of living can It be obtained ~by political action or py merely shifting the forms of con. lroi over industry? If standardization were realized-which, of course. is very uoupttul-there would come with if two questionable results: d.) Should higher

Historic Haymakers of Troy

EdWln A. GoeWey, in LeSlie'S.
 There are one or two teams, such As the Cincinnati Red Stockings and the Forest City club of Rockford. Ill, which have been given more promi- hence in baseball history, but the Haymakers of Troy surely possessed many unique qualities which warrant special chapter being devoted to then. and their accomplishments
 When the Haymakers were organ ized in the late sixties many of the players actually were country bcys. while the remainder earned their Iiv- ing working at their trades in Troy and Lansingburg. To that time this particular section had gained no fame as an athletic center. but Troy soon became known throughout the length
 and breadth of the country because of
 the successes achieved by its team
 against the clubs of the large cities.
 The Haymakers were an outgrowth
 of the Unions, who first played on the
 Lansingburg Green" That team
 played locally during the summer, but
 in the fall went to New York to play
 the Atlantics, Mutuals and Eckfords
 three of the strongest teams in the
 country at that period. Concerning
 this trip, Treasurer Spotten has re-
 lated: ''We made the trip to New York
 on boat with just s37 to pay ex- penses. Irecollect how a score of hometown boys slowed themselves
 away on the boat and how we had to care for them in New York We let them sleep on the floors in our rooms
 but how they got anything to eat I never knew.
 We were beaten by the Atlantics, but astonished everyone by defeating the Mutuals. The Eckfords backed out, and we did not play them. We played the Atlantics on the Capitoline grounds, in Brooklyn, and were taken there in a coach, with the youthful stowaways running alongside and foi- 1 lowing behind. The Mutuals came to 1 Lansingburg for a return game The | grounds were enclosed by an open l picket fence, so there was no charge | for admission. The Mutuals made nine , runs in the first inning. while the | made none, and everyone began to wonder how we beat them in New York There was a decided | turn in the fifth inning, however, when the Haymakers tied the game, and from that point until the end we out batted and outfielded our opponents. 1 The final score was something like 150 to 32 in our favor The girls com posing the towns leading social club had arranged to give a supper to the teams. but the Mutuals were disgrun- tied and refused to attend"

wages be reached without higher pro- ductivity of industry, the increase in costs would mean that the higher wages would be thrown either upon the con- sumer or the taxpayer. (2) Should a larger share of the management of in- dustry be transferred from the best trained experts to those who are chosen because of utilization with organized la bor, we are likely to see a reduction in the efficiency of technical and finan- cial management which can have no other outcome than higher costs and a blow at British commercial supremacy. That is. the labor programme. if wages are increased according to its theories, aims directly at result which must initiate against the very maintenance of these higher wages. Anything which works to destroy industry also works to destroy the source Of wages

tain members of the medical profos- sioh. During the closing year of the war an influenza epidemics ragged In many parts of the world. The man. sner of it's outbreak in different ooun- tries indicated that the germs of the disease had been conveyed by the cur rents of the air. The theory there fore has been broaohed Chat the poison gases with which many sectors of the fighting area were drenched were car ried by the YInd in every direction, causing the influenza outbreak in Spain. Germany. England, France. South America, Australia, Africa, Asia, as well as in the United States and some of the South American countries. That the influenza was corollary of the war is undoubted. Any similar gigantic conflict 1t is argued, would be attended with similar widespread pestiience--another reason why every effort should be made to avert wa's in future.

Week Onward to
 The Ultimate

In spite of the UT flavor b e weather, improvement work has proceeded on the beautiful new property which we are opening on Glenwood Avenue, in the Country Club district.
 The need for this 'homelara" and the demand for it are both so urgent we are using every available minute in getting it ready.
 At the rate at which this property is being purchased it will soon be a question of taking care of applica- tions for home sites.
 The reason is plain Convenient location, accessibility, transporta- tion facilities, great natural beauty and the ease with which the ground may be prepared for building pur- poses are advantages which are self evident and easily grasped.
 In word, the property makes the same instantaneous Init" with v Ilc IdyIIldu dS lI Ulu WlIIl CIldI UlS- tinguished Ia dscape architect, Warren H. Manning of Boston, when he said:
