To Hook Up With Reds

MIAMI, Fla, March 19.-If the Reds
win the pennant again this year it
will be Captain Wingo's hustling team
of Colts which deserve the honors.
For Ivy's grand aggregation defeated
the regulars in the easiest possible
manner at Tatum Park Thursday aft
ernoon, making their third straight
victory in the fourth game played by
the two sections of the champions.
The score was to 1 and represented
the difference between the two clubs,
ID this occasion.
The Colts hit hard and worked
hard, while the Vets played careless
and listless game and did not seem to
be in the least annoyed by the manner
in which the youngsters put it over on
them.
PALM BEACH, Fla, March 10. -
Manager Jack Hendricks and his crew
of hustling Tribesmen pulled into this
village Thursday night en- route to
Miami, where the club stacks up
against the world champion Reds Fri

If confidence and condition count
for anything, the Redmen are just nat
urally going to rOmp out of Miami Sat

their belts. They all look alike to

TRAINED WORKERS IN SURVEY

That trained workers from the ma
tional bureau Of welfare work Of the
United States Department Of Labor
will assist In the state survey OF all
women industrial workers in Kan
sas is the belief of Miss Lima +.
Bresette, secretary Of the state in
dustrial welfare commission, who
will supervise the survey. The un-
dertaking will be started soon, Miss
Brissette said, and the intention Is
to put sufficient canvassers at work
to complete the job within two
months.
II will concern the wages, hours
and working conditions of women in
dustrial workers In Kansas, said to
number approximately 10000. IT
will be the first survey made in four
years ana the first one ever complet-
cd within time sufficiently brief
to furnish data ON all the industries
at one time.
THE trouble with data gathered ON
the women workers heretofore" said
Miss BreSette, has been that due to
our limited resources, by the time
we would get one industry surveyed,
the data gathered previously on
other Industries would have become
more or less obsolete, especially since
In recent years, conditions pertaining
to cost of living and wages have
been changing so rapidly"
The survey will furnish data 81

whose analysis Of national politics Is
perhaps the most accurate OF any
Kansan, IL home from a three weeks
trip thru the East with a prediction
that Governor Allen Is the most pro
bable OF dark horse presidential pos
eibilifies. He also believes that
nomination of almost any one OF me
present avowed candidates would
assure the Kansas governor second
Mace on the national ticket
Prom my frequent talks with
close political observers, includins
men In public life and newspaper
men In touch with national politics.
Il is apparent that there is growing
feeling that the Chicago convention
win nominate Governor Lowden OF
Illinois or a dark horse" Mulvane
stated today. There Is a feelins
that the manner In which Governor
Iowden has stood aloof from rae
tional controversies may tend 10
make him logical compromise IN
June"
Then Mulvane delivered his YER
diet on dark horses.
"From every indication II Is APP
narent that Governor Allen Is the
most probable dark horse before the
convention" continued Mulyane he
is strongly rated as presiden uai
possibility in the east His stand on
industrial problems is holding the
attention OF many Of the big men OF
the party and the reception which
the governor has received on al OF
his eastern trips has been most nat
tering.
"If the convention deadlocks, ] be
lieye Governor Allen has the best
chance OF the dark horse field. II
almost any one Of the present avowed
presidential candidates should win
the nomination for first place, II
seems almost certain that Governor
Allen would be nominated for wee

fullest capacity They answered the appeal of
the country without a murmur, and they still
show spirit to give whatever real cooperation

close when the country will have returned to a
complete normal basis.
This action upon the part of workers, their
response to the appeal of country suffering from
period of high prices and prohteering made pos

ed manufacturers and other employers that the
workers Of the country were ready to cooperate
with them. And when it was announced that the

The New Year has arrived. The youngster ap-
pears full of promise as he takes the place of the
old man who has finished his work and steps aside
to allow the unfinished work to be carried on by
another.
Although 1920 faced many problems, it will
be remembered year of accomplishment
There developed during the past twelve months
more friendly feeling between employers and en-
Ployes than during any other period. And the en-
enlargement inherited by 1921 from 1920 is that
this friendly feeling is to continue throughout the
coming twelve months.
And there is further encouragement regard
ing this friendly feeling between employers and
employees, not only in South Bend but throughout
the nation. 1t Is that the feeling is engendered In
and based on common sense. During the past
year employers and workers realized more fully
that much mutual benefit would acrue from a
common ground of understanding. 1t was also
realized that some of the industrial at least has
grown from misunderstanding.
This friendly feeling began to be apparent early
IN the year, and grew In scope toward the close of
the year. and there is every indication that it will
continue to grow during 1921. This friendly feel
ing between employers and employees has made
