MORLEY CLAIMS
 TITLE OF THE
 WELTER DIVISION
Efforts to Be Made to Have Bay State Commission Reverse
 Judges Verdict.
c Western Newspaper UnIon

Mike Morley, Hartford scrapperr, is going to claim the weltcrweight championship of New England and an effort is going to be made by his man agcr and by followers of the ring sport who say his battle with Nate Seigel of Boston in Salem Mass, Saturday afternoon to induce the box ing commission of Massachusetts to reverse the judges decision.
 Scigei was awarded the verdict by the judges leach of whom wrote his name on slip Of paper and handed it 10 the referee. The official, how ever, refused to announce the decis ion, according to Morley's manager, and the official announcer declared Scigel the winner.
 According to all Boston papers and accounts of the battle in Lynn and Salem papers, the decision was greet ed with hoots and jecrs All of the ception of the man who covered the bout for the Boston Post, declared that Morley received an unjust verdict and that lie should have received the dcClSlOn
 Morley was given six rounds of the bout by practically all of the newspa permen at the ringside and the con census gave Siegel only one, the 10th, but his efforts in that session were not sufficient to overcome the big lead that Morley had obtained in the earlier rounds.
 The changing of the decisoin of the judges by the boxing Commission of Massachusetts would be nothing new i'll the Bay State if the commission decided to do it after hearing the ar guments advanced by Morley, his manager and fight experts who were at the ring. Recently in Holyoke, Mass, Johnny Cooney was given the decision over "Irish Kid" Williams, but the commission reversed the yer dict and gave the bout to Williams.
 With the exception of slight gash under his left eye, an old wound re opened, Morley showed no signs of the battle while Seigcl was badly cut up and seven stitches were taken in cut over Seigeps right eye.
 Morley made a great showing Tn the bout, according to the newspaper men present, and made hit with the fans, who carried him from the ring and treated him as a popular idol. As a result of his decision over Jack Perry and the manner in which he fought Scigel, Morley expects to land the final bout of the Labor Day card in Boston, Mass, meeting Paul Boyle or Eddie Shevlin.

WARNING MEN
 TO STAY AWAY
Detroit Building Trades Council Issues Statement to
 Workers

The following statement is issued by the Detroit Building Trades Coun.
 This warning is not intended for our own protection alone, but for the protection of men who would come 10 this city and be left stranded.
 "A new plan of attracting labor to Detroit, Michigan, is being carried on by the employing interests of this city.
 "Instead of the usual advertise mcnts in the Wand Ad columns of the newspapers, the non-union in tercsts are advertising for labor through the medium of glowing news paper articles announcing full re sumption of industry in Detroit. City authorities with the aid of the news papers are now using the moving pie ture show houses to advertise munich pal construction such as sewers, wa ter department operation, municipal street railway building, highways, bridges, etc, which is resulting in bringing large number Of workers to Detroit, entirely out of proportion to the needs, as there Is a large sur plus of labor looking for jobs at this time some of whom have been out Of endowment six and seven months Through the aid of expert photo- graphy some of the work shown is not being built at all
 "The real facts are manufacturing concerns are working their employees short time and one-half Of their usual force or less. For instance, the Ford Motor Car company, at it's Highland Park plant employs 10000 men m place of the usual 25,ooo or more. Some industries are now closed down for two months at least.
 No addition to industrial plans in the future. There are no new office buildings or department stores con tracts being let. Materials are high, labor's wages are low, rents are high, families are doubling up, unemploy- ment is on the increase. Reports have it that automobile factories will close down indefinitely about October tor lack of orders.
 "These facts will stand investiga- ton. Give this information to local unions, central bodies, labor press and the daily newspapers of your city II will be erected now or for some tune possible. Warn labor to stay away from Detroit, especially building tradeSmen.
 "Fraternally yours,
 "DETROIT BUILDING TRADES

MINERS PLAN TO NATIONALIZE MINES
 TO AVERT STRIKES
Convention Next Month to Discuss Most Important Problem
 in History.

Washington, Aug 19.-The 100000 members of the United Mine Workers of America are preparing to demand na- tionalization of the coal mines, 1t was learned this week. Steps to put into et- feet program calling for control ot the mines under a plan that will give the workers a voice III the1r operation and together with the public equal rights in the benefits that accrue" will be taken by the next convention Ot the Un1on to be held i'll Indianapolis on September 2O.
 John L. Lewis, president of the organ ization, Is now putting finishing touches to a report, which 1t IS understood, Will recommend definite action. A scheme under discussion for some time, with tea lures unlike any other plan of natlonall- zation of industry yet agitated, may be outlined by Lewis, 1t IS said.
 Significance IS attached to the new move contemplated in view of talk i'll labor circles that nationwide coal strike affecting both the anthracite and bitu- minous fields Is inevitable in event new demands for higher wages and a shorter work day are refused the operators when the present wage contracts expire on March 31 next year. It IS freely pre- dicted by labor leaders here that ii q strike does come, terms of settlement de- nlanded by the miners will include ma tiOnalization in some form or other. A nationwide agitation for naturalization has swept the coal fields, 1t is said, and state organizations of the miners every where are demanding action.
 The miners feel that conditions in coal industry have reached such a point that naturalization Is the only solution of the problem" said Walter James, gen eral executive representative of the United Mine Workers of America. They feel it Is inevitable and the time to start is now, If the public and the workers are ever to have relief"
 Actl,n de1nan.line wage increases will also be taken by the convention, 1t is fore cast, and other policies adopted will have a sweeping eff ct on the coal industry Under a new polic., of the union the bitl1ninous and anthracite miners will act jointly on all demands and negotiations This amcans ii another coal strike Is called, every mine in the country will be closed
 In the move for naturalization. labor leaders see a uniting of forces by the coal miners and railroad workers with the ultimate result a coalition of the two most powerful divisions of labor in the nation with the most sweeping pro- gram of industrial democracy, applying to all basic industries, ever produced.
 The first step for such a program was taken at the last convention of the Amer iCan Federation of Labor when the rail- road unions, with the solid support of the miners, went on record as endors- ing the application of the principle of

ITO Sporting Editor:
 Referring to your inquiry relative to what is wrong with the New Ha- ven B. B. Team here are my sugges- tions:
 Replace John Nagle as catcher with some youngster who will back up first and third bases on all throws to either bases. Get some young player at second base who has am bitions of going up to the big league instead of Neal all who was up there years ago and will never again go up; take Hargraves off of third base and put a regular infelder on same, and also my criticism for Rube OIdrlng IS the same as Neal Ball.
 Iwould also like to see Manager Bender out on the third base coach ing line more often than he appears there and l do not like to pay eighty cents to see two pitchers playing in the outheld as against Albany on Wednesday afternoon.
 " ours in sport,
 WILLIAM HOFFMAN"
 What we wish to call attention to IS the item about paying So cents to see a couple of pitchers playing the outheld. It is bad enough to have to pay this price to see regular nine playing ball but when you have to pay to see a make-shift team that should come pretty near telling what is wrong with baseball in this yeague at least
 A great deal has been written about the genius of George Weiss in setting up wonderful plant out in the Ham den Plains but we look on that as a tribute to the loyalty of New Haven for patronage of George Weiss and gave him all the opportunity in the world to make good
 Most every one can remember that few short years ago when Weiss took over the New Haven franchise the support given him was the won- der ot the entire circuit. The other magnates could not understand how a ta1l-ender could bring out the crowds who attended the local games, but MT. Weiss seems to forget all about this now.
 Personally we do not believe that George is entirely responsible for keeping up the prices as we believe that he knows 1t was the basebll fans of the city who by standing solidly behind him when he first entered the ranks of professional baseball gave him his chance and 1t is our opinion that if he had his own way the price of baseball in his park would be greatly reduced long before now
 One of the strange features of the whole affair is that a great number of the people who are making a great cry about the high wages paid to the workers are stockholders in the New Haven club and to be consistent one would imagine that the first thing they would do is cut the price of base ball so that those now out of en- ployment or working on short time would be able to take in a game now and then.

Baseball Notes

It might happen that both New York clubs would run a close second all of the year.
 The Pacific International hopes to pull through the year, but its pros poets are not the brightest.
 Pitcher Geary of the Seattle club goes to the Cincinnati Reds in eX- change for three players and $1O,OOO.
 Pitcher Carl Williams, who was sold to Albany by Waterbury, has been suspended for not reporting to the club.
 Frank Baker. the veteran third baseman, is getting to be the big boy with the fail for the Tanks aside from Ruth.
 The Pacific Coast filled up too free ly with players sent on from the East and wishes that it hadn't. New blood is needed.
 Joe Gleason, whom Billy Smith tried to be rid of earlier in the season, has been pitching some remarkable ball for Shreveport.
 The International league, formerly the Eastern league, is thirty years old, and has developed many crack baseball players.
 Jack Perrin, outfielder and varsity football man of the University of Michigan, has joined the Boston Red Sox for tryout
 The veteran Doc Jay Andrews has resigned as manager of the Huron team of the Dakota league and Roy Brown succeeds him.
 What has become of all those finds of the year, whose monikers were paraded in type last April? Have they been lost again?
 Dode Paskert, playing with Kansas City under a fat bonus, does not find the going so easy and has begun to crab at umpires as an alibi.
 Charleston, since Larry Cheney took the management, has continued to go great guns. It ran up 14 straight wins before a halt was called.
 Pitcher Friday, who started in the Virginia league with Wilson, but was sent to the Piedmont league, has joined the Petersburg Trunkmakers.
 The Brooklyn National league club Is in the peculiar position of working with both Memphis and New Orleans rivals for the Southern league pen nant.
 The Detroit club. always on the look for infielders, has purchased Jack Tavener, the midget shOrtstOp of the Columbia club of the South Atlantic league.
 Tom Hughes, pitching for Los An geles the other day, got, special men, ton in the papers for shutting out the hard-hitting Oakland team, allowing but six hits.
 Doc Barrett, who formerly served as scout and trainer for the New York Yankees and Giants, has been en- gagged by Connie Mack to dig up some talent for the Athletics.
 In Outfielders Trefry and Ramsey, who top Augusta's batting order, the Tigers claim the two fastest runners in the league. They are also among the best base runners in the Sally league.
