H. C. |. HITS BALL
Players Are Turning Down Con-
tract Terms Now.
Magnates Trying to Keep
Troubles to Themselves.

New York, Jan. 26.-Charles Stone
ham. owner of the Giants, drew
wrinkles on the baseball face yester-
day.
He creased the countenances of a
score or more OF Giants with smiles by
cutting the strings on his pocketbook
and by the same act of liberality he
wrinkled the brow of fourteen or fiji
teen rnagnates with worry and con-
Germ.
Soon after descending the gang
plank of a Cuban boat. the Giant
owner Instructed his secretary to boost
the figures on all the contracts for his
flock.
Ciee comes, OF course. to all the Nc
GraW clan hut there will be no Juol-
liant throwing of arms among the
other club owners. most OF whom are
now engaged in plea aiding against the
demands OF some of their stars for
more money.
II. c. i. Quoted Freely.
Practically all OF the magnates have
letters IN their files In which the high
cost of living is quoted as good
reason to let the players in on larger
division of the spoils. The impression
is general that the clicking or the
turnstIlss will be more regular tne
coming season than last year and the
last season was some clicker.
Some Of the moguls. like Barney
Dreyfuss, are not giving publicity TO
their troubles The Pittsburgh boss
takes the stand that announcement or
holdouts is bad policy and causes con-
taEion.
But others, like Garry Hermann,
chieftain of the champion Reds, have
unfolded their problems.
The Cincinnati club to meet the
salary demands of the champions
would have to mortgage the park and
waive all rights to penny profit next
season." Hermann said recently.
Diplomats After Signatures.
He has Pat Moran. his miracle
man, and Eugene Mccain. chief scout,
out or diplomatic mission seeking
signatures. Jimmy Ring, one OF the
first of the holdouts. is back IN the
fold but the peace delegation has yet
to bring Dutch Reuther. Eddie Roush
Heinie Groh. Hold Eller and Greasy
Neale around to their way OF thlnkine
The White Sox. who took the minor
role in the late worlds series. are also
suffering some of the penalties OF
greatness. Kid Gleason not only has
collection of "holdouts" but some are
announced "thru-ers." SWede Ris-
berg says he'd rather run restaurant

heating their annual role OF inviting

LITTLE ADVICE FOR GROCER
Would Be Wag Had Picked Out the
Wrong Woman on Whom to
Exercise His Wit.

There was an expression of melan-
choly ringed with resentment on Mrs.
Browns face as she entered the gro
GERS shop.
II want" she began impressively,
ito talk to you about them eggs I had
last week. They weren't anything
like as fresh as they might have been"
"That's strange" replied the grocer,
who fancied himself something of a
wag. 1--WE always have an almanac
hanging up in the fowl run to keep the
hens up to date"
"Oh!" came the retort with crushing
emphasis. ''Then all I have I'd say is
that somebody with brains about as
added as them eggs has been mislead-
in the hens with last years calendar.
Just you hang up 1920 card, my good
fellow, and maybe them chickens IL

appointment of a receiver for the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen
and accounting and distribution of the
brOtherhoOd's trust fund, estimated at
S10,OOO,00O, is asked in a suit filed at
Columbus, O., by Benjamin Callahan,
head Of the Columbus Yardmen's asso-
citation.
The suit was filed by Callahan as an
Individual policy holder, but in effect
is said to be action on the part of the
Chicago Yardmen's association, the in
surgent association which precipitated
the recent trump" strike of yardmen.
The petition says there are 145,OO0
members of the outlaw organization
and estimates their share of the trust
fund at $5,OOO,OOO. It asserts that all
members Of the brotherhood expelled
for participation in the alleged unau-
thOrized strike have been deprived of
a share in the trust fund which they
helped to create.

An army Of cats, turned loose in the
zoo at Highland park, Pittsburgh, Pa,
to clean out the rats, has shown the,
fallacy Of many tales Of ferocity to, y
of wild denizens Of the jungle.
Rats had become so numerous at the
big zoo that it was found necessary to,

decided on cats-just the plain alley

in drOves, and they were turned loose
in the cages, cellars, supply rooms
and lofts.
No sooner had the cages been invad.
ed than pandemOnium broke loose.
Lions, tigers, panthers, pumas and
leopards failed to recognize a distant

UNIONS
TO RUN STORES
Cooperative Organization Is
Planned, With the Members
as Stockholders.
PLAN FIGHT ON MIDDLEMRN
Charter for Society Already Drawn In
Mary'and-chaln Of Stores Through
out the City Of Baltimore Is Con-
templated-Farmers Asked to Aid.

Z
Organized labor proposes to go into
the. business of supplying food prod
ucts to its own members at the lowest
possible cost and dividing the profits,
II any, among those who buy from the
corporation about to be formed for the
purpose of dealing in household sup
plies.
A charter has been drawn by State
Senator William J. Norris to enable
the carrying out of the plan, which has
been formulated by men interested in
organized labor, says the Baltimore
Sun.
The charter drawn by Mr.. Norris
names as the incorporators of 1.-THE
Organized Labor Cooperative Society,
Ltd" Robert ]. Wollmer, Charles H.
Jacobs, George E. Brown, William G.
Green, John f. D. Gothic, Harry B.
Watkins and John J. Tahaney. All
are members Of organized labor In it's
different branches.
The capital stock is TO be 100000
and the shares are to have a par value
of $40 each. No stock is to be sold to
anyone not a member of labor union
and no one will be permitted to sub
scribe to more than one share.
The stock is to pay dividends of not
more than 6 per cent year, and be-
yOnd that the shareholders are not to
have any part of the profits except as
they receive them in the distribution
of the profits to the patrons of the
plan.
1t is the intention Of the projectors
Of the scheme to establish a chain of
stores throughout the city to handle
fruits and vegetables, as well as dairy
products, and as the business expands
purchases in larger and larger quaint
ties are to be made.
Further, 1t is stated to be the inten-
ton Of the promoters Of the plan to
bring about the organization of a CO.
operative society among the farmers
from whom purchases are to be made,
in order to make a saving in selling
and marketing costs. The fight is to
be started against the middleman, as
the labor union people think that he is
by his profits adding unnecessarily to
the high cost of living.

Many Workers idle.

Approximately 10000 carpenters,
pIasterers, bricl1layers and other en-
ployees of building contractors are
idle in Chicago, according to a dis
patch from the National Financial
News Service. The building situation
Is very serious, 1t is said.
The unemployed in all branches Of
the building trade in that city are
spending their time at amusement re-
sorts and in motion picture houses,
the communication states.
The efficiency Of labor is noticeable
among relatively few men who are
engaged in building construction, it
being estimated by an expert that
bricklayers who three months ago were
laying 1900 bricks daily are now lay
ing 1900.

Apprentleeahlp Ia WlseonsIn.

WiscOnsin's Industrial commission
has as one of its functions the super
vision of system Of apprenticeship.
This is the only state in the Union in
which such a system exists, or. in fact,
in which apprenticeship receives real
attention from the state. Provision is
made for a variety Of establishments
and equipment so as to avoid difficult
ties due to an unnecessary rigidity. On
the satisfactory completion of the APP
premiership the apprentice receives a
diploma issued by the state under the
seal of the industrial commission and
countersigned by the employer, What
constitutes a satisfactory completion
of the apprenticeship is determined by
the commission.

Back in the dim distant years when
the high cost of living was not an ever
