2O0O diamond duels, Elliott never has been put out of a game. Never had
 quarrel with either teammate or opposition player and has record
 for conduct that rates 100 per cent. How did you get the nicknameE' Elliott was asked
 Tt was given to me in 1910 in Bir-
 mingham during my first season as a
 professional ball player" he answered. "A sport writer there, having learned that my first name was Harold, promptly called me "Rowdy' perhaps for the same reason that they called Bob Maxwell, the 350-pound football player. Tiny and apply the word
 BurlyI to a little runt.
 NICKNAME HURTS But that nickname has hurt me and it kept me out of big league base ball for a number of years. Managers who didn't know me figured I was a tough guy and trouble maker and decided they didn't want me. When l did finally arrive in the big leagues before my present appearance with the Dodgers. and didn't kill an umpire every afternoon, the fans and specta- tors figured 1 had lost my punch. Be- cause they expected me to be con- centrated Jesse Burkett. Johnny Evers, Heinie Zimmerman, John McGraw, and wasn't they were disappointed. And so they chased me back to the bushes, ignoring the fact that I played base ball in a way that brought no shame blushes osmy friends"
 GOING GREAT Elliott is back in the majors for the third time-and it looks as if he's there for keeps. He got his first trial
 with the Braves eight years so ago, but didn't finger long. Some of the blood-thirsty fans in Boston looked to him to assassinate an umpire or two every afternoon. He didn't-mere- ly played baseball. And because Bos- tonians expected him to display pugill
 istic fireworks-and he disappointed them-he soon was "shooed" back into
 the minors
 In 1916 and 1917 Elliott was with the Cubs. He was real catcher then and
 ranked among the best. He'd prob ably be with them yet if he hadn't heard the call to arms and gone to war. He stayed in the service until
 the fighting was over, but when he
 came back he found that there was no
 job for him. So he went back to the minors, flashed a brilliant year in 1919
 and so earned a 1920 trial with the
 Dodgers,
 Elliott has been going great guns"
 since his advent in a Brooklyn uni-
 form. His backstopping has been l fault1ess and his steadying of pitchers
 one of the greatest helps in the early fight of the Dodgers.
 But most important of all, has been
 his terrific clouting. Elliott has been I"busting the or apple in great style
 and topped the National League swat smiths during the first two weeks of
 the campaign.
 Just as long as they just look for me to play baseball to the best of my ability and don't expect me to do a few Jack Dempsey's between innings, l guess no one will have any kick to make about my work" said Elliott,
 and say. I'd like to add that if l ever have a son, I'm almost willing to bet that his name won't be Harold or any other name that humorists can twist into some nickname exactly op- | posite"

C0Cl FEN years ago a newspaper wag
 tackled the nickname of "Rowdy'
 onto Harold Elliott-and it has caused the Dodger backstop endless troubles since that time.
 Those who do not know Elliott ex- cept by his nickname. assume that he's the rough. tough type of athlete, al- ways batting the umpires constantly involved in fist fights-ever a stormy petrel Yet these are the facts:

Washington, June 6.-"The public has no rights which are superior to the toiler's right to live and to his right to defend himself against op- pression,' Samuel Gompers declares in his deferred replies to three questions asked him by Governor Allen of Kan sas. in their debate at New York, May 2S. MT. Gompers replies were made public tonight by the American Fed eration of Labor
 Governor Allen asked whether the public had any rights in a strike 'af- fecting the production or distribution of the necessities of life, thus threat ening the public peace and impahing the public health" and if so how would MT, Gompers protect those rights. He also asked who controlled the divine right" of employees to quit work Declaring that union men and wo- men formed one-fourth of the public. MT. Gompers said strikes in which the public peace have been threatened usually have been strikes in which the employers or public officials in- fluenced by employers have created the breach of peace by the use of thugs. armed guards and detectives ' Labor" continued MT. Gompers, ''has no desire to cause inconvenience to the public, of which it is part. The right to strike must be and vii. be maintained. Not only as a measure of self-defense and elf-advancement. but as measure necessary to public progress"

 the foundation for the establishment
 of an American labor party, leaders ot
 the progressive wing of the federation
 declared tonight. They announced plans to launch a fight for the ap- pointment of a special committee to draft an ideal platform during the next twelve months and submit 1t at the 1921 federation convention as the basis for a new political party We realize that our opportunity for l a labor party has passed for the com ing election" said Cyrus Grow of Los Angeles. Cal, one of the progressive leaders. "but we want to prepare now loser by the now too long delayed di-
 rection for a political organization. I've are here to sponsor third party. If cur plan is carried out there
 will be an American labor party with in two years. Our movement may,
 however, be hastened if either one of the major parties adopts reactionary
 platforms in thelr national conven- tIons." fhe movement Is being supported by delegates from the metal trades coun- | ell of the Pacific coast and number of representatives of other west coast organizations.
 Conservative leaders refused to conn.,

 The convention is also expected to give considerable attention to the present political situation in the United States and express it's views as to plat . form reforms that are necessary to satisfy labor. When Mir Gompers leaves tomorrow noon for Chicago ha probably will take suggestions for pre-. sentation % the republican platform committees.

 q have seen a thousand rises and never a fall. meat market is always a ball market Billy Sands told me yesterday that he went into one of our swell restaurants and ordered lamb chops and green peas and the waiter set plate before him with some green peas on 1t and went away. Billy called him back and asked him where the chop was and he told him it was under the lefthand pea"
 Do you think that when the peace terms are settled and the soldiers are back home it will lower the price of meat any?" asked Imogene
 Its hard to tell" replied Andrew "but it strikes me that they would bet ter get the poison squad at the agricul- ture department to work and investi- gate how long a man can live without meat.

During the time the builder bought his meat from the butcher. and when the house was completed the builder owed the butcher $76.45 more than was coming to him for the house."

WOMEN ARE BADLY
 TREATED IN EGYPT
By A,soclatsd Pres,

London, May 1.-The treatment of women in Egypt is the darkest phase of Egyptian life. says G. N Barnes, member of Parliament. who has recently returned fro ma tour of that country.
 The men in Egypt. said MT. Barnes. so far as sex relations were concerned, thought themselves the lords of creation. They could divorce their wives at will without whim or reason, and it was not uncommon for a man to have three wives.
 Tn many houses continued Mir. Barnes, T never saw a woman. and you can take it from me that the position of the women in Egypt is absolutely one of serfdom and dependence. They spend their lives in miserable novels. in work ing in the adjoining fields. or in getting water.
 ..They are the serfs of the men and as much beasts of burden as the donkey and the camel. A people which uses women folk in that way are destined to be subject race and do not deserve lo govern.
