Marion, Ohio. Sept. 2.-PoIitics
were forgotten today in Marion and
its leading citizen, followed by most
of the town, turned out for a base
ball game.
AS a compliment to the Repub-
lican candidate, William Wrigley
and \. D. Lacker brought the Chi
cago Cubs to Marion for an exhibi-
tion game with the home team, the
Kerrigan Tailors.
Senator Harding paid his tribute
to baseball and the great progress
of the game since he played it as
a boy. Senator Harding said:
There are progressive ideas. but
it rejoices the average crowd of
rooters to note an old-fa shioncd

opposing the one man play for the
nation. Too much tanning out. too
much unpreparedness for war or
this peace. 1t is my observation
that the national team now playing
for the United States played loosely
and muffed disappOintingly in our
domestic affairs and then struck out
at Paris"
Senator and Mrs. Philander =.
Knox, of Pennsylvania, who arrived
here today, accompanied Senator
and Mrs. Harding to the ball game
in the afternoon.
a delegation of school teachers
from Illinois visited Senator Hard
ing in the forenoon. Addressing
them Senator Harding described
American teachers as those pa
tient soldiers in the cause of hu-
manity." Low pay and other dis
advantages to the profession, he
said, indicate a serious menace to
our national institutions"
Senator Knox in statement late
today issued a call to all Repub-
licans of all sections to record
their protest against the maladmin-
istration of national affairs during
the last eight years"

reached a unanimous decision yes

increase of pay to be awarded Navy

port TO the Secretary of the Navy.
1t is exected that the Secretary

Grafton of Labor had yainly en-
deavored to reach an agreement on
the amount cf increase to be
awarded and for a time it was
feared that it would be necessary to
submit three separate reports to the
Secretary.
Secretary Daniels award, based
upon the recommendation Of the
board. is awaited with great inter
est, for it concerns not only en-
ployes of all navy yards in the coun-
try, but private industry az well.
The navy yard wage is used by the
unions as the basic wage OF metal
trade mechanics in private industry.

Of the board centeTed around the de-
mand of navy yard workers for an
increase averaging 40 per cent. Ma
chnists are asking s1.25 per hour.
whereas they are now receiving so
cents per hour plus the war bonus.
which brings the wage up to 30
