Mr., WEEKS SETTLES
AIR SERVICE ROW
Menoher and Mitchell Have
Definite Duties, With For.
mer in Charge.

Through the mediation of Secretary
Weeks. friction in the Army air
SERVICE has been removed. and Maj.
Gen. Charles Menoher chief or the
service, has withdrawn his request
for the relief of Gen. William Mitchell
as assistant chief.
In announcing that the differences
between the two officers had been
composed, Secretary Weeks stated the
case as follows:
THE recommendation made by Gen.
MenOher in this matter was based
upon reasons submitted with the
letter. which, in the opinion or the
Secretary of War. justified his action.
The Secretary. however. believing that
in the interests of the air service and
or the government itself such action
would be undesirable and unfortunate
at this time. has been able to secure
satisfactory adjustment of the diff
hculties involved.
Gen. Menoher was selected to he
the head of the air service because he
was man of fine fighting record in
france; man of good judgment and
ievel head. and very capable cxecu-
i've. He is not only the nominal head,
but he is the actual head of the air
service. and as such is responsible for
all policies in that department.
Gen. Mitchell was selected for duty
as assistant to Gen. Menoher, because
OF his fine flying record in France.
and because he was primarily IA flyer.
His personal knowledge of the flying
game was thus put at the disposal of
Cen Menoher in the training of the
personnel of the Army Air Service.
1t lis the desire of the Secretary,
and he intends to accomplish that de-
sire. to utilize the excellent qualities
OF both these officers to the fullest
extent. each in his special sphere, but
he holds Gen. Menoher responsible for
the entire conduct of the air service
as its legal and actual head.
FINALLY. it is now clearly under
stood by both Gems Menoher and
Mitchell that the actions of the latter,
which were the reasons for Gen. Me-
noher's recommendation for the relief
of Gen. Mitchell. will not be repeat

SOUTH AFRICA HAS ANOTHER SCHOOL BOY
 RUNNING WONDER

South Africa has developed another schoolboy athlete in L, B. B. Betts, whose performance early last month at the Jeppe High School sports, and later in the Transvaal Inter-High School championships suggest that he may better the records of Reggie E. Walker and R. G. D. Rudd, both of whom are credited with exceptional performances as school boys. Betts, 1.-the and clean limbed youth of Y, won the 100, 440 and 880 yards at Jeppe School In the quarter he won his preliminary in 507-8 seconds, while the final on the following day, he covered the distance in 50 seconds, and won the 100 yards in 10 seconds. The half-mile was the next event and with
 out retiring to the pavilion he went on to his mark and won from L. Phillips of Krugersdorp by 25 yards, who put up a record last year of 2 minutes 6 seconds.

NEEDLE STRIKE IS BEING RUN STRICTLY
 ON MILITARY LINE
General Staff in Full Charge With Work Divided Right Down
 Entire System.

The c1oak1nakers' strike in New York which in now on it's second week, is organized like a military unit and man aged like fighting machine with gen. era at the head surrounded by General Staff and with divisions manned by lieu tenants who are veterans of the 1910 and 1916 strikes.
 In supreme command of the union forces is Benjamin Schlesinger, Presi- dent of the International Ladies' Gar ment Workers Union. He is assisted by a General Strike Committee which IS of Vice President.
 From the headquarters of the interna- tional union at 31 Union Square radiate the lines of communication that reach into every one of the 2,800 shops af- fected by the strike i'll New York city, as we'll as the shops in other garment cen tcrs in various parts of the United States.
 Behind the General Staff is the fight ing unit in the field. This IS known as the Joint Board of the Cloak, Suit, Skirt and Reefer Makens' Unions. They rep resent the twelve locals involved in the sthike
 The joint board has divided up the a group of committees. The Settler tnt Committee is perhaps the busiest com mittee at the present time. With twelve rooms at the Hotel Continental at its disposal and a staff of twenty men and women this committee has been busily engaged since the strike Ill handling ap- plications of independent cloak manufac- turerS for settlement. Applicants for settlement fill out blanks giving i'll detail the number of workers employed, their wages and other facts and also post from $500 to S1 ,OOO bond as forfeit if they fail to live up to their agreement not to work for the manufacturers asso- citations.
 However, before an application is passed upon favorably or rejected it is sent to the Settlement Committee of the Organization Committee. The latter, in charge of Saul Metz occupies the entire building at 2lO Fifth Street
 The organization Committee consists of 200 members, including members of the Executive Committees from all the unions. The committee has fifty in vestigators whose duty 1t is to visit the shops of the applicants who desire to resume work. The investigators are ex- pected to learn whether the applicants

have lived up to their obligations in the past.
 If the investigators find conditions favorable word is sent back to the Set clement Committee and the nanufac- turer is permitted to re-engage his e1n- ployes The workers are notified and they return to the shop.
 On the top floor of Arlington Hall, g St. Marks Place, at small rolltop desk sits Harry Wander, Chairman of the Picket Committee, the "eyes and ears" of the strikers. All reports con- corning the movements of the employers, whether they are engaging strike-break- CTS, what their plans appear to be and how they intend carrying them out, are all transmitted to Mir. Wander and his assistant, J. Kesten.
 Instructions for picketing are sent by Mir. Wander to the twenty-nine halls in the five boroughs, Jersey City and New ark, and the picket chairman designate the pickets and assign them to specific shops, The pickets operate two hours at time and always go in pairs.
 On Mr. Wander's committee are ex- perienced strike pickets who are charged with the duty of supervising groups of pickets in various sections of the city
 The Halls Committee, in charge of I. Breslaw, has headquarters at 228 Second Avenue. MT. Breslaw engages all the halls and is responsible for seeing that the 60000 strikers are accommodated in the meeting places with all the neces- Sary equipment and room for their busi ness. As soon as several shops are signed up and the workers return he is expected to relinquish the halls and cut down the expense of the strike on that item.
 The Law Committee is headed by Sam uel Lefkovits, its Chairman, with head quarters at 40 East TWenty-third Street. If for any reason a striker finds his way into the police courts the Law Committee fights his case and pays his fine if he is punished. It arranges for legal aid to the strikers and their fami- lies.
 In the same building IS the Out-of- Town Committee Louis Langer, Chair man. Mr. Langer's "cloak detectives" follow the trail of materials from the mills to out-of-town manufacturers, and attempt to see to it that "fy-by-night" shops are not established by 1nanufac- turers in small towns i'll the vicinity of New York. This is a difficult work and an important one for the unions

BASEBALL MOGULS MAY CHANGE RULE
 ON TRANSFORMING
Rumpus Over Ruth Fiasco May Have Big Effect on
 Meeting.

One thing that is sure to result when the majo league moguls gather for their annual conference in December is the repeal or amendment of the rule prohlb- iting members of championship clubs from transforming"
 The rule has been on the books for number of years but under the old lenlent regime of the National Commission it was not enforced, with the result that many fans did not know of it's existence until this fall, when Judge Landis threat ened to throw Babe Ruth out of the game for failing to observe 1t.
 Owners of the New York Tanks, other club owners and the fans in general, while believing that the great Babe should be punished for throwing the gauntlet down into the commissioner, are of the opinion that the rule is unfair and should be changed.
 Considering the fact that Rogers Hornsby, National League batting cham pion, Ty Cobb and Harry Heilman, swat leaders of the American League, and George Sisler, Brown star, are permitted to play in the Winter League on the coast, it Is unjust that the stars of the pennant winning clubs are not permitted to turn their talent into cash during the off season.
 The rule under discussion was enacted several years ago after the worlds cham pions made a rather disastrous tour in which they were frequently beaten by sandlot clubs. The tour ended with defeat by Cuban team which at once claimed itself champion of the world.
 One remedy suggested by several club owners is an amendment prohibiting the pennant winners from touring as a team, but allowing individual members or sev-
 The rule as 1t now stands takes a lot of money out of the pockets of the champions. This year the two St. Louis clubs finished in third position and were given substantial share of the worlds series money. Yet there was nothing to prevent them from taking part i'll a city series as teams and thereby gain an- other large profit which would have made checks more substantial than the pennant winners got far playing the big classic
 Another relief measure, which Is be- ing favored by the old reactionaries, is a new form of contract of players for the entire year and put them under the thumb of the club owners
 This, of course, would result in a demand for a year round' salary and the "hard pressed' club owners hardly would advance an argument for the play CTS to claim more money for their share

It will be said that in the election which returned the Union government to power during the war, thousands of Can adian women voted, They did, but 1t was with invidious distinctions. The war Times Election Act cnfranchised only those women who were next of kin, or who were themselves engaged in war services. It was an undemocratic and unpopular piece of lceislation framed for purely political end, put over" in the name of patriotism.
 The War Time Election Act died un- lamented some time ago, but was suc- ceeded by an amendment to the DOnin- ions Election Act passed in 1919 which provided that the right to vote at by elections is given to British subjects by birth or naturalization, male or female, 21 years of age, who have ordinarily resided in Canada for at least F months, and in the clcctorial district for two mOnths.@

GIANTS ACQUIRE
 TWO NEW PITCHERS
V. J. Barnes and R. J. Kelly, Brothers of Present Players, Recalled
 From Bush Leagues.

The names of Barnes and Kelly are in such good standing on the roster of the worlds champion Giants that a player labeled with each name will be added next season to those of the two tribes already possessed by the team. Both of them are twilrers, and the McGraw forces have had string attached to each fthe youngsters ever since last Spring.
 Virgil J. Barnes brother of the for fame, is recalled from Milwaukee, while in the other of the great twin cities Reynolds J. Kelly, Long Georges kid brother, has heard the clarion call of two lads showed lot of stuff and much promise in San Antonio last March, and reports from the northwest indicate that it was a wise move not to cut them the seasoning of the last summer and one or both may prove a star in the big league.
 Manager McGraw will also recall from Toronto Vernon Spencer, the Outheder who originally came to New York from the Maple Leafs to take the place of Benny Kauff when the latter sought seclusion in Toronto. Spencer showed flashes of baseball prowess, but didn't have a reliable punch with the ashen wand, and was sent back to the Cana dian club for further seasoning.
 The Yankees have filed notice of the intention to recall the following players from the clubs noted: From Joplin, w. M. Christensen and Jess Doyle; from Hartford H. M. Haines and M. L. Thomas from Rochester, N. A. McMil- Ian and c. K. Murray; from Dallas, Camp Skinner and Joe Munson from Vernon, Ray French; from Bridgeport, Yves. Kingdom; from Norfolk, Joseph J.

COCHRAN CREATES NEW WORLDS MARK
Makes High Run of 384 in Defeating
 Sutton, 384 to 57.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-All records in 1892 balk line billiards were broken here in the worlds championship games, by Welker Cochran of San Francisco, when he ran out in five innings and in the fourth made high run of 384 in his match with George Sutton of Chicago. Sutton amasscd 57 points.
 Cochran's performance sets a new high run mark. In 1915, Willie Hoppe, Worlds champion, made run of 3o7. At that time he was playing Cochran in handicap match, 500 to 300, and the final score was 500 to 18. That run gave Hoppe an average of 83 I-3, exceeded only by an average of 100 made by George Sutton many years ago.
 The highest run in balk line cham pionship made previous to this was 265 made by Cochran two years ago. Last year Ora Morningstar of San Diego made a run of 272 in the pre- liminary competition of the national tournament at San Francisco.
 The run of 384 and the consequent five innings gives Cochran the high average of the present tournament So. Hoppe two years ago played a game with an average of 88 and Slut ton has a long average of better than 5o.
