Chicago. Aug. 27.-Carl Mays. major
league pitcher. has been a storm CEN
ter most of his baseball life.
Last year the major league rec
ords were withheld several months
while President Ban Johnson and club
owners tangled over whether Mays
lawfully belonged to the New York
Yanks or was subject to discipline for
leaving the Bostonians.
This year he is the center of a storm
that may involve all clubs. Demands
that Mays be barred from the game
have flared up again. This time they
threaten to cause strife that may call
up the question of the strength of
playing contracts and the power of
owners and league officers.

Approximately IOo.0O0.0o0 coins
pass through her hands every year.
She receives a salary of only S2.4oO
annually. She has blue eyes. Her
name is Mary. So you know the
money is perfectly safe.
The woman in question is Miss
Mary O'Reilley. To her friends she
is just Mary, but to the hundreds of
clerks in her office she is Miss
O'Reilly. acting director of the Unit
ed States Mint. in absence of the di-
rector.
Whenever Ray Baker. director,
feels like going fishing or sojourn-
ing in the Blue Ridge mountains, or
finds IL necessary to leave the city on
business. Miss O'Reiny takes his
place and assumes control OF all the
operations of the mint. She is given
full authority.
Think what that means. Have you
ever been in a United States mint.
and roved about the vaults, seen the
cakes of gold and silver, watched the
shining coins fly off the machines? Z?
Have you watched the dec gners at
work? And haven't you been i'm
pressed with the great pains they
take in turning out a finished prod
uct?
DIRECTS THREE MINTING PLANTS
Imagine three such plants and eight
assay offices throughout the country
going full blast and yourself sitting
at a desk in the Treasury Department
in Washington directing operations.
and you will have a good idea of Miss
O'Reill'y's job-when the director is
absent
There are three mints, and Miss
O'Reilley can put her finger on each
one of them when it's necessary and
an order must be sent out. There's
one in Philadelphia. one in Denver,
and one in San Francisco.
The workings of the mint are COM
pick and continuous. The vast ma
chinery Is never idle. The output for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920,
was 734, 1000, 900 coins. 1t is the work
of the mint to supply the country
with coins, the pennies, bright
nickles, dimes, etc.
And 1t is Miss O'Reilley's office in
the Treasury Department that orders
the number of coins the mint shall
manufacture or coin for the fiscal
year. The Treasury or the United
States Treasurer sends in the re-
quired amount of money necessary
for circulation in the United States
for the coming year to the directors
office. And then the order is put in.
1t sounds very simple, but Miss
O'Reilley says. "Its "A very deep
subject"
ON DIRECTORS STAFF 5 YEARS.
Miss OReilley is one of the faithful
Government employees. She has the
position OF the woman in the office
who knows every nook and Granny,
and can put her finger on the desired

Resolutions of thanks to the news
paper reporters who have covered"
the situation from the beginning, and
to the newspapers themselves for
their fair treatment, were passed
unanimously.
Records of hearings on the District
appropriation bill were produced by
Mahany last night. These records
contained statements by Commission
ers Brownlow and Kutz in which they
declared the District followed tho
navy yard wage scale in setting tho
wage schedule for District per diem
employees.
"The utterances of the Commission
er are conclusive proof of the truth
IuInSes Oh the VI viz w"
ciIiators that the Commissioners were
breaking their pledge by refusing to
follow the Navy Yard scale as stan
dard." Mahany said.
A resolution Of thanks to Secretary
of Labor Wilson for appointing these
three conciliators to the task OF ef-
fecting an amicablo settlement of the
wage dispute was passed Another
resolution thanking the conciliators
was adopted.
The men have been assured by the
conciliators that they Will get just
treatment by the Commissioners when
the wage scale is reviewed August
20. They have been urged to trust In
the Commissioners.
A strike of District employees Will
come only IL the District Commts-
sioners, when they review the wage
scale. refuse to revise 1t upward.
