HOME RUN RIFLE MAY
 STOP RUTH's RECORDS

If the American Leagues recommends tion for cutting down the homerun crop is adopted next season, it may keep Babe Ruth from equalling his old record or setting new one, but in general it will have little effect on the caliph of swat The minimum distance proposed is 300 feet. and the big majority of his drives are only getting up speed when that point in the journey is reached The Babe usu ally hits them where nobody has hit them before and very few of his homers have been made near the foul line.
 This new dead line" will be even shorter at the Yankee Stadium, leaving the Babe with his usual wide territory to roam in. In such parks as Cleveland. Philadelphia and St. Louis, however, his total gross output may be cut dowa somewhat under the proposed rule.

true of maintenance-of-way workers.
THAT the finances of certain of the
roads may have made such reductions
appear desirable, only adds to the seri-
BUSINESS of the problem. One of the
most significant developments of the
year has been the publication OF statls-
tics by eminently competent and I'M
partial authority which show that our
industries, as at present managed, are
not producing enough wealth to raise
this income Of the working people to
the level Of health and comfort.
This is challenge to our indus
trial regime.
1T is most unfortunate that no more
general effort has been made to ap-
proach a settlement of disputes in a
cooperative spirit Snd to appeal to
Justice and fair play, rather than trial
by economic combat.
"The widespread tendency to disre-
gard contracts which has been fea-
ture of our commercial life during
this period of business depression has
extended to the industrial field. Agree
ments have been broken frequently on
both sides.
"Since the beginning Of the open
shop campaign, many employers have
sought TO take advantage OF technical
tiles in order to set aside agreements
and substitute an arbitrary regime
for the method of joint agreements
in the settlement of LABOR questions.
an not a few cases agreements have
been set aside by employers on a very
slight pretext.
THE coal strike involved the VIOLA
ton OF j pledge TO enter into confer
ence for the negotiation OF new
agreement.
another serious aspect Of the labor
situation is the growing hostility Of
organized labor to the courts. A
large number of injunctions against
strike activities have been issued in the
last wear. The attitude of the courts,
however, has been by no means uni
formly hostile to labor. In number
of strikes the courts have allowed;
much freSlom in union activities.
Nevertheless, labor finds its posi-
ton rendered insecure by the unprc-
dictable attitude of the lower courts
in particular controversies.
"The nation still carries the moral
burden of the twelve-hour day in the
steel industry, affecting large mum
bers of workers. The officials OF the
United States steel corporation have
given the public reason to hope that
a serious effort will yet be made to
eradicate this acknowledged evil, as
has.already been accomplished by some
of the independent companies.
Apparently it win REQUIRE contin-
ued moral pressure OF the churches
to complete the reformation OF the IN
formation of the industry"

Clutches Asked To Lend Aid
nv United Press.)


Washington, Aug. 31.-A call to
protestant churches of the nation to
lend moral assistance to union labor
in its fight for existence, in the war
of determination now being waged by
capital-made in a special Labor
Sunday Message" of the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ-caused
a furry in political and industrial
circles today.
Officials of the American Fedora
ton of Labor saw In the message
new backing for the stand organized
labor has taken in recent industrial
disputes.
The message itself clearly expresses
sympathy with organized labor in the
coal and rail strikes, declaring that
the shopmen fare fighting for the very
life of their union and that where such
a war of determination is being waged
employers can expect only ultimate
moral defeat"
1t also "deplores that the 12-hour
working day is still in effect in the
still industry" and promises the con-
tinued moral pressure fthe protes-
tant churches of the country to com
plete the reformation in that indus
try"
A spirit of fairness and good will
is most necessary at present IN eco
nomic dealings, the message states.
The churches assume a new ATTITUDE
regarding lowering Of wages. The fact
that the earnings of some companies
show they are not making a sufficient
money to pay a Giving and healthful
wage" is no excuse for lowering wages,
the statement implies, but rather =
proof that the industrial system should
be revised, so that u decent wage can
be provided.
Eve are still in the period where the
dominate note in the industrial world
is one of strife and controversy" the
statement continues: "There probably
never was time when there was more
bitterness and conflict, some OF 1t due
to misunderstanding between employ
ers and workers, and some OF 1t, I'M
fortunately due to very clear under
standing of hostile aims and purposes
Local controversies for the most
part relate themselves to country
wide struggle in which labor is seek
ing to retain or advance its position
of power and influence, and employers
are endeavoring with equal determl-
nstion, efFectually to limit the power
OF labor.
"The large number Of strikes which
have occurred during the period of
business depression have, of course,
resulted from the tendency to de
flate" labor-a tendency which in part
was to be taken for granted with a
recession of prices and of living costs
and a corresponding denation of the
farmers.
ut cannot be too often said that
high wages during the war were by
no means so general as believed, and
that the demand for a reduction Of
wages in proportion to the reduction
in living costs has been made without
reference to the fact that wages prior
to the war, were too low and cannot
fairly be taken as basis of wage de-
termination.
'Tho two outstanding industrial

crisis Of the year-the coal strike end
main out Of inadequacy of earnings.
1.-The plight of the coal miners, due
to scant employment, is at last receiv-
ing public recognition. The reductions
in the earnings of railway workers
have placed many of them in an almost
desperate situation. This is especially

Austrian Reform Bills
Disclose Ancient Abuses

Vienna, Dec. 23.-Some curious
abuses. suryivals of ancient as well
as modern outgrowths, have been dis
closed in the parliamentary debates
on the Reform Bills. These measures
are designed to fulfill the conditions
on which the League of Nations is to
undertake OF find Austria foreign
credits.
For instance it is asserted that
some 10000 institutions, both re-
lipious and secular, as we'll as many
individuals enjoy salt doles, that IS
free salt from the government mon
opolies. These are of very ancient
origin and bear curious titles, such
as the "Salt of Grace" the Must
Salt" the "Salt of Aims" the salt
Of Gods Healing" and so on.
Then it has been disclosed that
great numbers of free doles Of wood
or other fuel exists, also dating back
to olden Gays of the monarchy.
The Minister for War confessed
that obvious economies could reduce
the army cost by 81 billion crowns q
wear without material reduction or
personnel. The debates showed su-
perf1uous number of officers in the
army. In the Tyrol, for instance,
there are nearly two officers for each
soldier, counting sergeants as off,
GERS.
The most serious disclosure, how
ever, was the overmanned railway ad
ministration, DR.. Odehnal, the rail
way minister, admitting there were
1914 employees for every kilometer
or five-eights of mile.
A modern scanda! also was reveal
ed when it became known that the
director general of the government
map and lithographing bureau, who
is also an owner or director in Biz
other similar establishments private
ly owned, had closed down his shops
and was doing private work in thu
government establishment, with gov
crnment labor, and paying nothing ir
return.
