PUT THE PEOPLE TO WORK
Contributed


The [. s. Department Of Labor
should receive the hearty co-opera-
tion OF every civic body, labor or
ganization and official Of every
community in the land, in its build
ing plan 10 put the industry Of the
country back on a peace basis.
This is not q speech-making cam
paign whose success hangs upon the
enthusiasm Of the moment. 1t is
a vital undertaking with a vital
purpose and that purpose is to put
the people 70 work at useful en-
ployment in matchmaking enter
prises.
Everybody understands that there
are difficulties in the way Of turn
ing the country's engine over TO
nun on the peace notch, but so
there were when the machinery was
set in motion TO produce materials
for the greatest war in history. The
engine quickly was adjusted for
that, and there isn't any reason
torceful enough to hold up adjust
ment Of this machinery for peace
work. In fact, there is every rea-
son for speedy action.
The belief is not we'll founded
that the workers we're 80 well pro-
yided for during the war; that they
could afford TO remain idle long
time while peace pursuits we're be-
Ing leisurely resumed. They are not
well prepared for undergoing the
hardships caused BY unemployment.
In truth, they are poorly equipped
10 face adversely. A sudden plunge
from prosperity TO want will not be
met with as good grace az II there
had been no prosperity. People
have left the barren fields. They
are not disposed 10 return TO them
merely because some slight circum
stances prevent their living as was
their wont. The black curtain can
not be lowered over the land Of
plenty in the belief that the peo-
pie will be kept out. They will
simply tear aside the curtain and
walk in That's the peculiar habit
OF people who know they wat
something and know where it can
be found.
War necessities swallowed war
profits as soon as they we're earn
ed and, while high wages were
paid to some classes Of labor. the
percentage OF saving. the rainy
day fund, was not as great in many
cases as during the pre-war period
Besides, people who see prosperity
on every hand do not devote much
thought to the possible lean years.
Defensible, or not, that is the con-
dition.
But even had there been great
portion of the wages saved, the
country cannot afford suddenly to
let up in it's productive power. The
people must work TO live, and, as
the opportunity to work is appar-
ent on every hand, the logical course
is to open up the opportunity. Put
the people to work in productive,
needed industries. That is the de-
mand OF the lava demand that
can be fulfilled by starting things
going with work on the contracts
suspended during the war.

KERR STEADIER

While Opponents Pitch 65.

CINCINNATI, Oct. Dick Kerr,
midget southpaw pitcher for the Chicago
White Sox. again tonight was the hero
of the White Sox rooters after having
pitched his team to another victory here
to-day In the sixth Of the worlds series
baseball games. Although Cincinnati
knocked eleven hits OF of Kerr. while
Ruether and Ring were touched for only
ten hits an analysis OF to-day's pitch
ing record shows that Kerr pitched a
steadier game. The little twirler walked
only two men and struck out two.
Ruether and Ring gave a total of six
bases on balls and only two strikeouts.
Ruether and Ring each gave three
passes, while the two strikeouts were
credited to Ring.
Kerr gave a total OF only fifty halls,
while the Cincinnati pitchers threw
slxty-fve wild ones. The White Sox
star put over twenty-seven strikes and
his opponents twenty eight Ruether and
Ring were touched for thirty-four hits.
OF which ten were safe. Cincinnati got
thirty-nve clouts at the ball, eleven of
which were safe. Twenty-four fouls
were knocked off OF the Cincinnati
pitchers and only sixteen off OF Kerr.
The dope sheet shows that not once

which won his first game for him. Ring

Collins drove a terrific smash to deep

Duncan couldn't have come near IT, but
by q great cross-country run and side
lunge he grasped the ball as 1t was
going by him. Duncan also made
great catch on Weaver to start the
fourth, another terrific liner. Those
liners showed Ruether wasn't right even
though he was then getting by.
In the eighth inning Roush, who has
been the fielding star Of the series. made
a catch which was even more meri-
torious than his great grab on Felsch

For the first time In the series Pat
Moran's managerial strategy was open

opened against the Sox here last
Wednesday. He was constantly In
trouble with batsmen, and only great
outfield catches were saving him. with
a three run lead It looked as though
II would have been wiser to have sent
in Ring at the start of the sixth in

Weaver, jackson and Felsch had
cracked outhits.
OF course Moran was actuated by
sentiment. Ruether had been such a
star In the opener that he wanted to
save the young lefthander the ignominy
of taking him out. Besides the Sox
were gting SO bad up TO that time that

the Reds two runs.
To open the third, Rsth was an In

struck out and Daubert stole. He had
his foot of the bag and Collins should
have had him, but Eddie was a bit on.
Kerr then hit Roush. Duncan smasneo

came home. The Red legions howled In
glee. Kopf lifted one to Felsch and he
had to 20 some to make the catch. Two
runs had come in. The Reds seemingly
were on the road to another triumph
Two More for Reds in Fourth.
The fourth inning saw the Reds add
their second brace of runs to their to-
tal. Neale smashed the ball to centre,
where Felsch played the ball badly and
enabled the Red outfielder to convert
one bagger into a triple. The White
Sox were mighty shaky about Kerr and
Collins called a little continuation. But
the decision was to let Kerr remain In
the box. Rariden was thrown out by
Collins. AT this juncture Gandil came
over to tell Kerr what to throw to Rue
