OF general workers. representing
million and Il hall of labOring men In
more than one hundred industries
outside OF the ''trlple alliance" de-
cided tOdfy 10 support the triple al
lance in its Str..r In the interest OF
the miners.
London April 14.-Oficials of the
triple alliance of labor" visited
Prime Minister Lloyd George at his
residence in Downing street this
morning and began Il conference
which may have a vital bearing on
the industrial crisis confronting the
country.
Journalists were told by j. H. Thom-
as general secretary of the National
Union of Railway Men that the call
of the labor men was at the invita-
tion of Mr.. Lloyd George but the pub
lie was left to speculate whether this
might indicate new move toward a
settlement of the labor controversy
or whether the triple alliance" was
merely delivering its answer to the
prime minister's letter asking the
grounds on which the labor forces had
uCSluCu W Cdll d SlTlh6 OH FTludy.
This letter which was delivered yes
terday was considered as an effort on
the part of Mr. Lloyd George to keep
the door open for further negotia-
tions.
The labor delegation left the prime
minister's residence after a two-hour
conference, Mr.. Thomas saying he saw
no prospect for re-opening pour-par-
lers for an adjustment of the strike
situation.
The House OF Commons was pre-
pared to discuss the reply to the
kings proclamation regarding the re-
cruiting of reserve forces to act in
event Il great strike should develop.
The labor party had given notice that
it would move the following amend
ment to the reply:
THE House regrets his majesty has
been advised to take such costly and
warlike measures, which are calcu-
lated to provoke public feeling, and
are directed against loyal citizens
who are exercising their legal right to
resist encroachment upon the stand
ard of living of themselves, or their
fellow workers."
Whether the call for strike, issued
by the triple alliance" will be uni
versally obeyed, remains doubtful.
The Daily Mail which has can
vassed several railroad centers, ex.
presses confidence there will be no
complete stoppage of traffic Edin-
burgh reports there is in that city mo
strike enthusiasm" while Glasgow
claims that certain areas are doubt
full" In other centers, including the
big London terminals. it is said that
train service will be reduced but not
stopped.
Experience is conclusive proof"
declares the Mail in commenting on
the situation, that a general strike
cannot be expected to succeed, as the
majority will not surrender to the
minority. Will labor risk the com.
mission of so fairful a mistake? Shall
it be peace or the sword?"
Figures printed by the Daily Ora.
phic purport to show that if the
triple alliance" strike should actual
ly rise and should last three weeks,
it will result in 100000 persons be.
ing thrown out of employment. An.
other result of such a strike, it is
said, would be that the national cen
sus, fixed for next week, would be post.
poned. Such an action would be with.
out precedent

MACKMEN IN SERIES
 SET CLOUTING MARK
tBy the Associated Press )


 New York, Sept, 29.-The highest batting average by team in the worlds series games since 1906 was made by the Philadelphia Athletics in the series of 1910 against the Chica- go Cubs. Connie Mack's organization of youthful stars batted .317 in that year, 96 points better than the Cubs.
 1t. is a significant fact that the pennant winning club teams of other days were great fielding organizations, and in all their worlds series, ex- cepting of 1910, they outhit their op- ponents. This was noticeable in the 1918 series against the Red Sox, and although the Cubs lost they batted, as team, .2l0 against the Sox .186. The Sox fielded remarkably in the series, however, having only one error chalked against them, with a fielding average of .996, This, by the way, was the best fielding performance of any team in a worlds series since 1905.
 In 1906, the Chicago Cubs outhit the Chicago Americans by four points and outfie,ded them P points, but they lost the series. Their punches were not delivered at the moments whom they would have resulted in runs. De troit outhit Pittsburgh in 1909 but lost the series. The Pirates base runners were much better than those of Detroit. The Giants outhit the Red Sox by 50 points in the great series of 1912. but lost.

FAMOUS DIAMOND TRIO
 NOW LEAD NY. GIANTS
McGraw, Jennings and Burkett Games Hardest Clouters, Lead
 National Champs.
(By the Associated Press)

New York, Sept. 30.-Reunited after many years of glory and strife OR the diamond great trio of base ball players has brought the New York Giants through this seasons battles for the pennant. John McGraw Hughey Jennings, Jesse Burkett-the names of all three are written at the top of the list of basebalPs heroes.
 McGraw is finishing his twentieth year as manager of the New 4orks and in this year he has as first as- sistant Jennings, his old team mate on the old team of Orioles of Balti- more and Burkett, as the second depu- ty. The individual records of this trio at bat and afield stands out among the greatest in the history of the game.
 Burkett has never had the good for tune to manage major league pen nant winner but McGraw has piloted the Giants to goodly string of flags and Jennings won three pennaRts with the Tigers.
 McGraw was a third baseman, first with the great Baltimore club and then with St. Louis and when he land ed in New York he retired as an active and became a leader-one of the foremost in the annals of the game Jennings was a shortstop, first with Louisville, then with B9l- timore and finally with Brooklyn. His work as manager in Detroit came to a close with the season of 1920.
 Burkett came to the Giants in 1890 as a pitcher but was converted into an outfielder because he could not con- trol his left handed shoots. And as an outfielder with New York, Cieve- land and St. Louis, Burkett made his tory as one of the most able batsmen in the game.
 The batting records of McGraw, Jennings and Burkett, combined, re- presents 27 years of hitting over 300 mark in the big show. Burkett batted better than 300 for II years, Me Graw for nine and Jennings for sew en. Burkett was the mightiest of the trio and in 1895 he batted .423, a mark second only to Hughey Duffy's 438 of 1894. McGraw's top average was .390, in 1899, the year that Ed Delehanty finally succeeded in his long effort to go over the 400 mark with an average of .408. Jennings did his best work with the bat in 1896, when he hit .397. Titans three, indeed!
 Burkett went to Cleveland in 1892 and saw his club beaten for the Ma tional League pennant by Boston. It was not until 1895 the Burkett was arrayed against both McGraw and Jennings, in the Temple Cup series. With Burkett playing heroic rcle with the bat, the Spiders took the measure of the pennant winning Orioles that fall Cleveland won four games and Baltimore only one. In 1896 it was Baltimore against Cleve land again for the Temple Cub and once more it was McGraw and Jen- nings against Burkett.
 This time the Orioles cleaned up without losing a game. They took four straight, finishing the series with a 5 to 0 shutout on the ground of the Spiders.

TO FINANCE COTTON SALES
US. Corporation Approves Loans Ask
 ed by American Banks.

Washington, March 16.-Announce- ment of it's approval of an application of two American banking institutions for an advance to assist in financing the exportation of about 15,000 bales of cotton to Germany and Czecho- Slovakia was made today by the War Finance Corporation. The amount of the advance has not been determined.
 Approval of an application for fi- nancing exports to Germany is com plete reversal of the Treasury's policy under former Secretary Houston. MT. Houston held that while this country was technically at war with Ger many the government could not even indirectly assist the enemy with loans.
 Only a small part of the cotton would go to Germany, Managing Di- rector Mclean said, and the advance could in no sense be regarded as a loan to Germany. The advance is made, he said, to American bankers on adequate security to enable them to finance the exports. The corpora tion, he said, considers all applica- tions made to 1t. but creates no pre- cedent by its action.

BLACK PEND IS SEIZED BY
 HOPE MOB AND HUNG
Jail Door Battered in and Tuggle, a Negro Jitney Driver, Hung to
 the Water Tower at Hope.

Hope, March 16.-Browning Tuggle, negro jitney driver, was hanged to the water tank tower, just across an alley from the city jail, and his body was riddled with bullets at seven-thirty o'clock here last night. Tuggle was identified by Mrs. Clay Mays of Hat tiesville, as the negro who assaulted her early yesterday in wooded region just outside the city limits on the Washington road.
 The door of the jail was battered dow and Tuggle was dragged from his cell. After "a rope had been placed about his neck Tuggle still declared he was innocent.
 Mrs. Mays arrived here Monday night on a late train and after spend. ing the night in the city started to walk to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Beulah Whittinghill, short ways into the country.
 More than thousand people view ed the body before it was cut down. The negro taxicab driver had sought to induce her to permit him to drive her to the home of her daughter the night before, but she feared to make the drive in the night with the negro alone, so remained at local hotel starting the journey early yes- terday morning. -
 About o'clock the negro assaillant overlook her, forced her, upon threat of death, to accompany him to clump of woods, and there accomplished his fiendish purpose.
 After her Identification of her as- sailant had been generally spread about town suspicion pointed to Tug gle, and he was arrested and taken be- fore the woman for identification. She at first expressed her doubts as to whether he was the right party or not, but the negro was not released from custody. The city marshal was given custody of the negro and he was locked up.
 While other officers and posses were securing the countryside in an- swering the description of the assail- ant of Mrs. Mays, Tuggle was taken from the jail and again presented be- fore Mrs. Mays and she was asked to again see whether or not she could identify him as her assailant This
 time she declared the negro was of the same color and build, but that he was dressed differently than was the negro who attacked her.
 Going to Tuggle's home, search was instituted for a pair of faded brown overalls, such as the fiend wore when the assault was committed on Mrs. Mays, and this search was soon rewarded. The overalls found at Tug gle's home, it is declared, was fresh ly stained with blood, and, to the sat- isfaction of those in the search, ap- parently, established the negro's guilt of the crime. The lynching followed a short while later.

Little Rock, March 18.-(SpeciaD One of the bills passed during the last hour of the House session was amendatory to the act creating the State Banking Commission.
