TUST why is it necessary to wait

We still have Fulton. Brennan, Mar

others. who could put over three or
four high class shows.
Here are six fistic entertainers who
have quite enough to start something
and yet there is very little going on in
the heavyweight class.
Hence the logical query-why not?

THE baseball rules, which were adopted last winter
by magnates, newspaper men and others were very
successful--for FIVE weeks. All Of the new stuff the
legislation against discooring the ball the Intentional

both major leagues-for FIVE weeks.
Now there has been change an beginning today one

Of the farest rules in tho book and even now there Is
feeling 1t should remain.
The 1920 definition Of a dead ball. read follows
"a wildly pitched ball which the batsman plainly makes
attempt to dodge to avoid being hit, but which ball
accidentally hits his bat. is dead ball.
This very plain. but it is said there was con
siderable trouble in the National League in ruling on
several plays and after the umpres took their in
hand and dashed o some indignant President
John Heyder. John conferred with Ban Johnson, and
instead of appointing chairman Of the National Com
mission, changed the rule. Therefore Rule 80. para
graph in the book has been erased and beginning
today the 1919 model which says pitched ball which
hits the bat whether the batter his feet his head
will be ruled bated ball.
'we have lad no trouble with the dead ball rule this
season. said Billy Evans this morning. If perfectly

when he starts his swing sees that II is curve and tries
to hold back when the swing is half finished IT, in
like that. the ball accidentally hits the bat, it is

The rule very simple all had to
do tell the difference between a strike and wild

Fair And Reasonable Profits
By w. J. c. Gibson
By W. J. c. Gibson.

what say is, profits, so long as they're fair
and reasonable, don't do no harm" said Dick
Whats it you're getting att" Bill asked his
friend "You know all profits are made out of the
labor of the working class and if there was free
contract stamped, signed, and sealed without any
force being used to make the workers work. you'd
be right; but it amt working that way. You know
the workers amt free to act They've got to work
and produce profits for the boss class or else
starve."
81 know it's just for producing the profits they
get their wages" replied Dick
"Then what the deuce are you talking about
fair and reasonable profits? There can't be any
such thing"
Its an idea I've got in my head agree about
the worker being forced and all that, and what
I'm thinking is: suppose the people said there's
too much profit-making, it's got to be cut down
to reasonable figure, wouldn't that be fair to
the workers ?" said Dick
Somebody interjected with the friendly advice
that Dick should keep on thinking and some day
he'd be an NJ P for the Middle Glass Union.
Middle classp said Bill you've got it right.
= you have. It's the middle class idea against big
capital and being middle class it's no good to the
workers. Now if you'd said do away with profits
altogether you'd be talking sense"
IF I'm not talking sense by going halfway
the chap who goes the whole must have less
sense"
"Now you've put it that way, let's see who pro-
duces the profits and who gets them" said Dick
"The profits, reasonable or otherwise, are the
private property of the capitalists. The bosses
employ workers who are forced through fear Of
starvation to work, and these workers produce the
profits. Can any profits, big or small, be reason
able, in the eyes of the workers?"
From that point of view I agree with you
Bill" said Dick. "Its the workers who produce al
social wealth. know that. The only claim a capi
talist can make to the profits is the risk he runs
by investment.
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-12-11

"Well; what say is, that be blowed for tale!
Look, I'm not going to say the capitalist does not
run risk at times. We know sometimes they
open up show and then lose every thing but
that doesn't mean the whole capitalist class runs
risk of not getting profits. In fact, capitalist
who loses his property always loses it to his
brother capitalists, never to the workers or So
ciety as a whole.
Leave the class idea out of il" Dick said.
'If we leave the class idea out, we're closing
our eyes to facts, and I'm not going to argue with
my eyes closed"
'Why not look at it the way the workers do?"
said Dick
"That's what Pm doing. We Socialists always
take the working class point of view, and if the
way they look at things is right or wrong, we
say So" Bill replied. "You know the workers look
at the question either as class versus class or a
group of workers versus group Of capitalists"
"No, it amt"
"Your boss" said Bill, "may be decent sport
and all that sort of thing but he's capitalist,
and you carry out every union rule in his shop.
The rules weren't made for his shop alone; they
were made to meet the conditions of the union
members in all the shops of the trade or industry
You really don't look at the thing from the view
of individual capitalists-it's the bunch"
"Gad! that's so" said Dick. 81 always thought
this class idea was German one. Now come
to look at it. you're right Bill It's the conditions
in Britain that makes the class war necessary.
never thought of it before" (Same in u S.-Ed.)
'The struggle being against the capitalist class,
the workers say to the individual capitalists and
the whole class. You are exploiting us for pro-
fits If the boss says I've a right to them for
the risk rum we say the risk is not of our max
ing, and is an affair between the bosses them
selves"
"Good!" said Dick, and made some comments

to make out to the workers that they're only get

JAPAN IS UNWILLING
TO REDUCE her NAVY
NEWSPAPER DECLARES

TOXIC. Oct. 12.-Japan is not likely
to subscribe to the idea that the naval
strength of nations which are mem
bers of the League of Nations, shall
be cut down or their increase stopped,
in the opinion of the leading daily, the
Nichi Nichi.
All powers are agreed on that prop.
osition on principle" observes the
Nichi Nichi in its political news
column. But the United States,
which was the power that proposed
curtailment Of naval expansion, has
not as yet joined the League and she
is fast increasing her naval strength.
Even If other powers should strictly
and faithfully adhere to the principle
of reduction, the peace of the world
will just the same be menaced by the
powerful naval power Of America.
Thus. the general conference of the
League Of Nations will not accomplish
anything, except that each of the men,
bers present will search into the heart
of another" (The first meeting of the
Assembly Of the League Of Nations
has been called at Geneva for Novem-
Der 15.)
Policy Outlined.
The Nichi Nichi therefore observed
llidl the JAPANESE navy NOulu COHSluCI

SEAMAN ARE ACCUSED =
OF SMUGGLING LIQUOR
(By Associated Press>

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Evidence
gathered by federal agents which is
said to have disclosed that seamen On
a number of foreign ships frequently
in collision with the masters of their
vessels, have been smuggling liquor
into the United States, may lead 10
the seizure and sale of ships whose
crews violate the American prohibit
ton laws. Officials of the bureau OF
internal revenue it was said today,
are Of the opinion that smuggling,
which they say has increased consid-
erably during the past six months,
particularly along the Atlantic sea
board, can best be curbed by invoking
provisions of the Volstead Act which
authorizes the government to confis-
cate vehicles of transportation used
in violation of the prohibition laws
Within the three mile limit, foreien
ships are technically subject to Amet
lean laws. Although seizure of for,
eign vessels it was said might result
in complications with foreign nations,
prohibition officials are said to be
agreed that confiscation of a few ships
! would check the activities of boot
leggers.
