Cobb sIumps Slightly

Cobb S1umps Slightly
 Tyrus Raymond Cobb is not as close on the heels of his rival Gardener, Harry Heilmann as he was a week ago in the race for hitting honors in the American league. Heilmann is seven points ahead of his manager to date. Heilmann is batting .305 to Cobb's .3SS. There was a time when this rivalry might have caused ul- feeling on the Detroit club--but not now. Ty is managing the club and his first thought is get ting ahead with his team. His second thought is for individual honors. He would like to see ev- cry member of the Tiger club shoot ahead of his own batting mark, for that would make for better team, and that's what Ty wants above all else, now.
 Good Card Looked For
 From all angles it looks like the Shifty Logan Battling Kelly affair at the Athletic club to- morrow night should prove thriller. Kelly is favorite to cop the scrap, but a warm battle is lOOhtQ 1OI anu d bOOo Si w U iii- sured. Octavus Roy Cohen, who is in charge of the boxing bouts at the club now, is taking just as active an interest in booking matches, as if he had an individ- ual investment at stake. As a re- suit the crowds have shown a steady increase since Roy was placed in charge.
 
 The Bantam Situation
 Looks like the bantamweight division of the box-flght game is getting as bad as the wrestling game when 1t comes to changing titles while you wait. We see Joe Lynch grab the title from Pete Herman. After Joe has worn the crown only a short while, Pete arrives with a come back, regain lost laurels and is pro nounced champion again. A few short weeks after Pete has re- established himself at the top, along comes Johnny Buff, fly weight king, and wrestles the crown from Pete. If Herman should get a return match with Buff in the near future and get that crown back again, a boxing investigation into the dealings of the Crescent City scrapper would surely be in order.

WEDDING

Charmed with simplicity was that
of the marriage of Miss Lorine
Seeger, the only daughter of Mrs.
Johanna Seeger, of R. R. 6, and Mr..
Roy Fitzgerald, of Main street, last

attended were united in marriage at
the parsonage of the st. Johns
church by Rev. Langerhans, who i'm
pressively read the double ring cere-
mony.
The bride, sweet and pretty blonde,
looked very girlish in her wedding
gown of white organdie, and she car
ried a shower bouquet of brides
roses.
After the ceremony the bride and
groom were driven to the home of
the groom's, where a reception was
held with just the immediate families
present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzgerald will be at
home to their many friends at the
home of the groom.

public in no better way than by fa-

BAKERS NOT ENJOINED

Spokane, Wash.-Judge Webster
has refused to enjoin organized bak-
ers from circulating literature against
anti-union shops. The bosses claim
this procedure is part of "a conspir-
acy to destroy their business" The
union showed that the employers are
running large advertisements in the
local press. In denying the injunc-
tion, Judge Webster said:
at is within the rights Of the union
to circulate statements of their side
of the controversy. 1t would be un-
Just to let one side and not the other
follow such a course. The public is
entitled to it."

TRIUMPHANT DEFENSE

THE AMERICAN N TRADE UNION
MOVE MENT
National Executive Board rges Labor to Still Greater
Activity During Coming Year

Denver.-In rallying call to the
trade union movement, the A. F. of L.
executive council made these opening
declarations in its annual report:
"The American trade union move
ment has just gone through a year
of unexampled struggle and difficult
ty. A great part of the effort of our
movement during that time has been
defensive, but we may well say that
labor has conducted triumphant de-
fense.
"The enemies of labor and of hu-
man progress have assailed from
every side. The movement for the
reduction of wages, the movement
to crush our organizations masquer-
aiding under the fictitious open shop
slogan, the wave of unemployment
and, perhaps most sinister of all, the
revival as part of the general anti
labor campaign of the vicious, enslav-
ing individual contract by which
workers are bound to their employers
have been massed and concentrated
against the most potential voluntary
movement of the wage earners of our
country. Added to these have been
legislative assaults and court deci-
sions most destructive in character.
"The coming year must be year
of progress. The blight of reaction
ary effort has bitten as deeply as pos
sible. 1t has been checked. We must
always expect and tolerate construct
i've criticism, but we can not and must
not fold our arms under the fire of

0NE-EYED
Judge Who Rendered Press
mems Decision Must
Have Been

Pressmen's Home, Tenn.-Could
Federal Judge Cochran only see one
sction of the constitution of the Inter
national Printing Pressmen and As
sistants' Union when he decided that
the officers of that organization had
diverted funds illegally?
The complaint was made by Chi
cago local. The officers insist that
this is a common practice, that it was
upheld by their last convention, and
finally, it is permitted by the unions
constitution.
Judge Cochran ruled against the
officers on the ground that they vio-
lated section l, article z, of the con-
stitution, which reads:
'The foregoing funds are not to
be exchanged or diverted in any man
ner whatsoever from the purpose for
which they are specifically provided. 5"
His honor, however, ignored section
l, article 9, of the constitution, which
reads:
when the amount in the treasury
equals $4,000 all of said funds in ex-
cess of SO 900 may be invested by the
president and secretary treasurer in
the name of the international Press
men and Assistants Union in United
States government bonds, or in first
mortgage bonds on good investments
wherever the interest upon the mon
ey can be secured in excess of that
offered by the banks"

ALLEN LAW UPHELD
HOwat Goes to Jail Unless
U. S. Court Rules
Otherwise

Topeka, Kan-The state supreme
court has upheld Governor Aliens
"can't-strike" law and the decision of
the Crawford county district court
sentencing Alexander Howat, presi-
dent of the Kansas Miners Union, to
one year in Jail for violating court
command to obey the law.
The decision of the supreme court
was unanimous. 1t is declared that
the law is "a reasonable and valid ex-
ercise of the police power of the state
over the business of producing coal
and does not impair liberty of con-
tract or permit involuntary servitude
contrary to the constitution of the
United States"
The court made no distinction be-
tween a board created to control the
production, manufacture and distri-
button of food, clothing and fuel" and
a human being.
The law empowers the industrial
relations court to set wages for work
ers in these activities, and to penal
ize them if they refuse to work under
these conditions. The supreme court
holds that this is not involuntary SER
vitude.
The decision will be appealed to
the United States supreme court, if
all state court processes fail.

OIL MEN PROTEST
Against Mexican Product
Coming into q. S. Tax
Free

Tulsa, Okla.-Oil mems associa-
tions in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas,
and Louisiana have forwarded a joint
protest to Secretary of State Hughes
against the United States government
objecting to the new Mexican tax on
crude oil when shipped from that
country.
The oil men say that 80 per cent
of this oil comes into the United
States duty free, and that the same
interests which are protesting against
Mexico's export tax are vigorously
opposing any attempt by congress to
tax this oil when it reaches the
United States boundary.
"The oil industry in the United
States is go per cent shut down, and
hundreds of thousands of men are out
of employment" the oil men declare.
'These selfish interests absorb the
markets of our country with cheap
ly produced and cheaply transported
products from Mexico, upon which
they pay no taxes to this country, and
ask the government of the United
States to aid them in avoiding taxa
tion in Mexico. We most vigorously
protest against the government inter
fering with the system of taxation,
on oil promulgated by the republic
of Mexico or any other country so
long as that system of taxation is
levied equally against all foreigners. ;"

But for an unfortunate bit of judg-
ment on the part Of Goal-keeper Con-
nor. of the Washington Soccer Club

Cross County Club team might have
ended at a tie. The Monumental City
lads gained a 3-to-2 decision in an
evenly contested engagement before
a crowd of a thousand followers OF
the game in Potomac Park.
The Baltimore men were a bit bet
ter conditioned than the Washington
lads, whose defense was particularly
strong. Time after time the Wash
ington backs saved what looked to
be sure scores.
The first half was evenly contested
and ended at one-all. The visitors
showed considerable skill in con-
trolling the ball and dribbled some
what better than the locals, whose
forte was defense.
Gowerly, of the visitors. opened
with a neatly-kicked goal after a few
minutes OF play. Twenty-Five min
utes elapsed before Captain Williams
of the Washington club dribbed and
kneed the ball through for a counter.
At the close of the game Bauman
recovered a blocked kick and as Con-
nor came forward to break up the
play, leaving his goal unguarded.
