A GREAT BAIL GAME.

The Lancaster ball team has be-
come famed far and near. People in
many places in the state, who know
but little of the enterprising little
city of central Grant county have
familiarized themselves with the
people of Lancaster through her
much noted ball team. During the
past two weeks they have added
laurels galore to their star perform
ances on the diamond this season.
First they defeated the Dubuque All
Stars, the Dubuquers not taking their
defeat as though they were beaten
by a more classy bunch of players.
Another Dubuque team, named the
Dubuque White Soxs, presumed to
play the Lancaster team at their
place Thursday and it was the most
holly contested game played in
southern Wisconsin this season, re-
quiring IL innings to close the score
and the Sox were defeated A to g.
Dodge, the Lancaster pitcher, and
one of the best twirlers in this part
of the state, lost his vitality toward
the end of the game and Elliott, the
Babe Ruth of the Lancaster team
took the box and finished the game
in applauding style. The Lancaster
lineup are dependable, not in any
one game but in every game. Give
credit wheTh credit is deserving

The mother jumped up and down in
her chair, shifted her feet, terribly
Disguised and forbade her daughter

MEN WITHOUT CAUSE

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE United
States railroad labor board has es-
tablished a precedent that railroads
do not have the right to discharge
employees without just cause. IN a
decisicn ruling that the Butler County
railroad, a forty-one-mile line In south
ern Missouri, must reinstate two men
released because they belonged to the

The decision said that the board was

that II construed its duty to be to
decide every question justly and rea-

MANY PROBLEMS
FACE PRESIDENT
ON HIS RETURN
Plans Complete for UnempIoy-
50 ment CONFERENCE.-The Situa-
ton Demands Intervention.
By GEORGE X. HOLMES.
International News Service.

President Harding returned TO his
desk at the White House today to
find It heaped high with business
that accumulated during his weeks
vacation.
The unemployment conference,
scheduled to open here one week
from today: developments in the
plans for, the forthcoming interna-
,tional conference in November; the
row over the tax bill, and the nuner.
Gus matters incident to the reopening
of Congress Wednesday, constituted
an imposing aggregation OF business
demanding Presidential consideration.
The President and Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover brought back to
the Capital virtually completed plans
for the unemployment conference.
The personnel, representing labor,
capital, and the general public.
chosen geographically as well as in
dustrially, has been decided upon,
and acceptances have been received
from nearly. all those invited to take
part. A public announcement on
the conference Is expected within the
next forty-eight hours.
Tax Bin Row. -
The row over the tax program has
attained proportions and qualifications
which make White House intervention
absolutely imperative, 1t was said to-
cay by those most concerned In II.
The House wrote a tax bill after
turning down most of the recommen-
cations of Secretary of Treasury
Mellon. This caused considerable
bowling. Then the Senate took the
bill and "masculated It 70 SUIT the
ideas OF the Senate Finance Commit
tee. again turning down the sugges-
tons of the Treasury. which caused
more feelings to be ruffled.
The next result has been ~ cast the
entire tax program into a turmoil.
President Harding now plans to
submit the German treaty to the
Senate for ratification soon after
1t reconvenes on Wednesday, 1t was
stated at the White House today
A short written message asking the
ratification. probably will accompany
1t. The President does not plan TO
address the Senate personally on the
subject Of the treaty. 1t was said.
