LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Industrial unrest which manifested
itself during the period Of reaction i'm
mediately following the war, became
even more marked during the year
1920. Radical activities were involved
in some of the labor disputes In this
country, but this was true to q much
larger extent in the labor troubles that
beset most Of the countries of Europe
during the greater part of the year.
The first month of the year was
marked, in the United States, by the
abandonment Of the steel workers
strike which had been begun on Sep
TENDER %.
u Railroad traffic was tied up in
France, February q. by general
strike Of rail workers. The premier
called all the strikers into the army,
and two days later the strike was set
tied by a compromise.
Two thousand railway express clerks
struck at Chicago March 6, causing an
embargo to be placed upon all but nee
essary traffic.
Peace was declared between the
bituminous coal operators and miners
March 81, when they signed a two
year agreement based on an award
made by the coal commission named
by President Wilson.
An "outlaw" strike of railroad
switchmen began in Chicago April Is,
and spread rapidly to other parts OF
the country. Federal officers arrested
so leaders Of the strike IN Chicago,

the mails and violation Of the Lever

Eve owe other reserve banks between
100000 and S11,OOO,OOO at the present
time" r. A. Young, governor Of the bank

quires us to keep\it around 40 per cent
Until there is some liquidation in the
Northwest 1t viii he impossible for this
bank to reduce the discount rate below

IF the crop is moved in an orderly

Rommel Holds Yankees
to Four Safeties and
Athletics Have FieldDay
Special Dispatch to- The Trsb~ms

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-The win
ming career of the Yankees was checked
this afternoon by the Philadelphia
Athletics, but not the home-run career
Of Babe Ruth. Busting Babe dashed
out his fourth homer Of the season,
lofting tho ball into the top tier Of
seats Of the left field stand in the
fourth inning when Roger Peckin-
paugh was cuddling close to first base,
where he had been passed on balls.
This one master stroke of Ruth's
could do little in the face Of q flood Of
runs which let loose in the third Phila-
delphia inning and another that came
in the seventh inning. The total count
was II to A against New York.
- Ed Rommel, who turned back the
Yankees at the Polo Grounds q week
ago, repeated with rare skill and An
ish. He allowed only four hits and
had it not been for errors by BRAZIL
and Witt he might have limited the
scoring Of the New York host to Just
two tallies.
Waite Hoyt Slugged Hard
Waite Hoyt, the Brooklyn lad, started
the game for New York, but once more
had to be removed. He fingered until
the seventh inning, when the White
Elephants simply leaped all over him.
Alex Ferguson replaced Hoyt, but too
late to save the day. Eleven hits were
made off Hoyt and the enemy leaped
blithely around the paths.
j. Franklin Baker was sent into the
game in the ninth inning to hit in place
Of Ferguson. He was we'll received hv
the fans, but ended the game with a
roller to Jimmy Dykes. There were
several fielding thrills, Walker made q
fine capture Of drive by Peck, while
the latter made fine leaping capture

had few difficult chances to handle.
The Athletics started kicking the
Yankees around in the third inning and
gathered themselves four runs. Peck's
error failed to help New York any,
but Hoyt was far from the best one
expects of him.
In the fourth the Yankees stepped
to the front and center. Roger Peckin-
paugh drew pass, and then "Babe"
Ruth came up. "Babe" took a fancy
to the first ball pitched and hit it into
For the moment it seemed as II the
ball would clear the fence, but it
nestled in the stands and the fans
fought for possession Of it.

the grass and Perkins tried to drill
through Peckinpaugh with hot
grounder. The Ysnk captain fumbled,

third and Walker went to second. By
this time every one knew that Hoyt
was off form - all except Higgins.

Pat Donovan's Shelters continued
their winning streak with another VIC
torly over George Wiltse's Bisons yes
tcrday afternoon, which was accom-

ance Of Harry Biemiller on the hurting
block. He wrote his name in baseball's
Hall of Fame by disposing Of the hard

to their credit. the game ending i to O..
1 to o.
Biemiller's performance was the first
no-hit game recorded in organized base
ball this season.
Near the close Of last season, Bic
miller was obtained from the Skeeters
under an optional agreement by Clark
Griffith and finished out the season
with the Senator's. He was recently
returned to Jersey City and made his
first appearance in a game yesterday
since rejoining the team.
Jersey City players took liberties
with the benders of Dick McCabe,
the Buffalo hurler, and nicked his de-
livery for eight safe raps. For five
rounds McCabe held the Shelters rum
less, but they made successful bid
for the victory in the sixth frame.
Joe Stapleton tore off a two-bagger
for starter, his second double of the
afternoon, and Frank Kane slipped
in his third single and sent Stapleton
chasing home.

Heavy Hitting
Dodgers Beat
Braves, 4 to 2
Mitchell Twirls Hitless
Ball for Six Sessions
After a Wabbly Start
BY r. ]. Kelly

Those champion Dodgers again de-
feated the Braves in a slow and list
less game at Ebbets Field yesterday
afternoon by score Of 4 to 2. South
paw Clarence Mitchell. who was on
the mound for the Brooklynites, got
of to a poor start, but after the third
inning he settled down and did not
allow hit.
Only three batters faced him in each
Of the last six innings. Boeckel re-
ceived base on balls with one out in
the sixth, but this was Offset by a
doble play a moment later.
Joe Oeschger, who performed for the
Boston clan, was wild and ineffective.
but he frightened up on more than one
threatening occasion and turned back
the home players. Oeschger yielded
seven hits and issued five bases on
balls. These passes figured promi-
nently in several of the Dodgers runs.
Oeschger was unsteady at the out
set and his opponents got of to a one
run lead in the first inning. Olson
7 led off with single to right field and
Johnston followed with another to the
same place. Griffith then walked, fill
ing the bases. Wheat forced Griffith
| at second on a grounder to Ford, but
Olson scored on the play. Konetchy
| struck out and Wheat was caught
stealing.
Myers Misses One
An error by Hy Myers, who is play
ing second base for the Brooklyn club
during the enforced absence of little
Pete Kilduff, enabled the Braves to tie
the count in the second inning Boeckel,
the first batter, drew base on balls
and then stole second. Holke and Ford
both flied to Griffith. O'Neill shot one
down toward Myers, who let the ball
tailed from second. Oeschger poked
single to right, sending O'Neill to
| third. The two runners then attempted
a double steal, but Mitchell inter
copied Miller's throw toward second
and O'Neill was run down between
| third base and the plate.
Mitchell took a lot of punishment in
the third inning, when the Braves
| slammed out four successive hits, but
| the net result of these was only one
run. Powell led with single past
| Myers. Barbara followed with an
other bounder in the same direction,
but the ball hit Powell who was sprint
ing toward second, and he was declared
out. Barbara took second on South
worth's single to center, and he COM
pleted the circuit when Nicholson con-
nected for another single. Mitchell
ru: an abrupt stop to the fusilade at
this point Boeckel forced Southworth
at third base on grounder to John
ston and Holke went out on bounder
to Oeschger.
Griffith Stars at Bat
The Dodgers came back in their
| half of the third and evened the score
by chasing one run across on base
on balls and Griffith's three-bagger to
left center. They had several fine op-
portunities to break the deadlock in
the fourth and sixth innings, but they
failed to come through with the needed
hits. In the seventh, however, they
| squeezed two runs across and settled
the issue. The tallies came as the
result Of two bases on balls, a hit bats
man, Olson's triple and two-bagger
by Griffith.
