Clark Grifith began cutting down his
squad today when Horace Milan was
farmed out to the Minneapolis club
of the American Association. "Hoss"

''Millers" at Houston, Tex. where
they are now in training. Foxy Grif
held good TO his word of send
ing the youngsters whom he in
tends TO cut loose TO any club
with which they desire to cast
their lots. Griffith was anxious to
place Horace with Frank Schultes
Binghamton club. but Milan chose
to once more play under Cantillon.
1t will be remembered by the fans
that Milan was with the Minneapolis
club in 1917, and because of some mis-
understanding he jumped the Mil
lers' during midseason. Milan is sat
isfied that he can go at a fast clip in
the association, and is confident Mat

A UNION MACHINIST'S IDEA
More Production the Remedy for High
Prices.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN--Sir:
enclose a circular which IL being sent
out by the officers of the Progressive
Council of the International Machinists
Union. You will see the members are
urged TO organize for a general strike
for shorter hours and higher pay.
II may be Of interest to the public at
large to know that each of our men,
bers has already been taxed three times
and now Gompers has passed the order
that each laborer or machinist who stays
on the fob and provides food and cloth
ing for his family shall be assessed one
quarter of his earnings. Is this fa
deal or is It not?
The writer did his bit IN four armies,
and when no other would take him on
account Of the wounds received in his
first active service he proceeded doing
his bit to win the war by operating an
automatic screw machine making parts
for aero motors. being obliged " join
the union or lose his Job. This . to-
as 1t explains why he obtained copy
Of the circular.
Can't anybody convince the working
men the high prices are caused by de-
mand exceeding supply? What they
should do is to put on three shifts OF
eight hours each and turn out as much
stun as is possible.
