URGES IMMIGRANT BAR;

ed TO the House Immigration Committee
yesterday by Representative johnson OF
South Dakota, who has roslmcd his

Representative Johnson II have talked
with many German prisoners and
found them practically united IN q

The display Of our tremendous wealth

CONGRESS IS ACCUSED
BY FRANK MORRISON
Fails to Pass Legislation Which
Would Reduce Unemployment,
Says Labor Man.

Charges that Congress by failing to
pass legislation helpful to the Depart
ment of Labor and by aholishing the
United States employment service. is
seriously injuring the efficiency of
the department were made today by
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor.
Not one piece of constructive leg
fslation that will be of assistance in
reducing the area of unemployment
has been passed by the present ses-
sion of Congress, which adjourns
March ~ he said. "As matter of
fact, the strongest kind of effort has
been made by interests against or
ganized labor to prevent Congress
from appropriating the money needed
to perfect the service which has kept
Employment down to where it is at
present.
ITO avoid a critical situation in la
Dor, the American Federation of La
Dor has urged upon Congress enact
ment of legislation to provide funds
that will enable all government work
stopped on account of the war to be
begun Immediately; to pay soldiers
their present wages until they can
secure employment and to furnis h
them land on which to live and money
to work the land. No favorable action
has been forthcoming on this legisla-
ton
Restriction of immigration for the
next four years was also urged by
Mr.. Morrison. Such restriction, he
said. will have a great psychological
effect on workers and Will result in
confidence in labor circles that jobs
will not be taken by immigrants ar
riying in this country.

Not the best written item that evef
graced a sport page, perhaps, but
crammed full of simple truths that
we have come to overlook. All too
easily the sport writer's and the fan

SECRETARY BAKER ASKS
FOR ARMY OF 100000
Temporary Force Of 175,0W as
Agreed Upon in Conference Re-
garded insufficient.

Secretary Baker of the War De-
partment, appearing before the Senate
military affairs committee considering
the Army appropriation bill yesterday
afternoon. urged that a temporary
Army of 100000 men instead of 175.00o.
as provided in bill agreed upon by
the Senate and sHouse conferees, be
established.
The Secretary told the committee
that permanent military establish
ment could not be decided upon until
after the peace conference had ended
it's work. and that because of the un-
settled conditions in Europe il was
difficult to determine even the size of
q temporary Army. He thought that
a force of 100000 would be adequate,
however.
Both Mr.. Baker and Gen. March
who came with him, were understood
to have urged upon the committee to
place in the Army appropriation bill

War Department organization, which
was eliminated by the House.

Give me back the ball games we
lost through poor coaching at third
base and my team would about have
won the pennant." Such was the re-
mark made to me by an American
League manager late In 1908. His
team, which had been a contender all
the way. had just been mathematic-
ally counted out. That year four
clubs had been in the running most
of the season, the race not being de-
cided until the final day.
At the time the importance the
manager placed on the work OF the
coacher at third seemed bit over
drawn to me. However, it caused me
third. and has caused me to reach
the conclusion that many a bah game
can be tossed away because of the
failure of the man at third to exer-
else the proper judgment
Despite the fact that the i'm
portance of the coachers at third is
generally recognized by every one
connected with base ball, many ball
clubs persist in having the duties per-
formed in a hap-hazard manner. In
