Emery, however, when pressed tor his attitude and that of his associates rela- tive to compulsory arbitration in the es- tablshments of his patrons very em- phatically protested because that would be an inter ference with their individual liberty He also protested with equal emphasis to the suggestion that the In- terstate Commerce Commission should be vested with power to set the prices railroads should pay for steel rails To- and supplies used by railroads, generally furnished by the newly discovered free dom preservers, liberty savers and de- lenders of the public veal composed of the aforesaid self-constituted philan- thropic and ltra-patriotic National As sociation of Manufacturers and other respectable agents CD in the United States Chamber of Commerce.
 It may be that these folks imagine they are fooling senators and represent atives, farmers and laborers with their newly discovered pose of altruism, but it will require many years of penitence, of right living and right acting for them ever to convince the ma jority of the people of the United States that they are seeking for anything less than "all the traffic will bear" for their own i'm mediate proft-rnaking, class-conscious, dominating groups.

By International Labor News Service Washington, Feb. 24.-The Penn sylvania railroad, i'll it's efforts to combat the railroad organizations has fallen into trap of its own
 making by reason of forgetting to- day what it said yesterday. Railway executives, Pennsylvania executives leading among them, now allege the punitive overtime is one of the "exactions" causing dividends to slump or disappear.
 Railway executives now allege that punitive overtime Is one of the un- just wage exactions which compel
 them to reduce dividends
 T do not like the principle of pay ing time and half for punitive over
 time-it costs us $7,5oo,ooo a year. declares President Smith of the New York Central.
 Other railway executives voice the protest of Smith. The officials of the Pennsylvania system are especially l emphatic in their protests against the added costs of punitive overtime, and
 have undertaken to change before l congressional committees and else where that the system was forced on the Pennsylvania by the Railroad Administration by the undue influ- ence" of organized labor.
 William c. McAdoo, Director Gen eral of the Railroads during the first year of Federal control, now dis
 closes that Samuel Req, president of the Pennsylvania, asked that puni- tive overtime be applied to Pennsyl- vania employees, and that President Smith, who was at that time Regional Director, granted Rea's request with out authority of the Railroad Admin istration. McAdoo says:
 The clear inference of this testi- mony is that payment of punitive overtime was forced upon the Penn sylvania and the Philadelphia & Read ing against their wishes. Time and a half for overtime on the Pennsylvania was granted by Regional Director
 Smith, formerly and now president
 of the New York Central, without the authority of the Railroad Admin istration and at the request of Presi- dent Req.
 The correspondence discloses that on March 28, 1918, President Req of the Pennsylvania was desirous of 'conceding' the request of the shop men for time and a half overtime, this being a general condition and in the nature of a wage settlement, but wished to receive the advice of Regional Director Smith before doing so"
 Regional Director Smith took the matter up with the Railroad Admin

 Washington, D. C., Feb .24.-Strik- ing a simultaneous blow at the pub lie treasury, the government navy yards and the union workers in those yards, the administration has thrown the great Leviathan reconditioning contract to the non-union Newport News Shipbiulidng Co.
 Boston navy yard. could have done the job, it is estimated, for about $2, 900, 900 less than Newport News.
 Boston navy yard employs union men at g cents an hour.
 Newport News employs non-union men, many of them non-citizens, at 54 cents an hour, the reduction to this figure having been made since the bid was entered.
 Two million dollars in excess of navy yard figures is going to some body-and not to workers!
 Senator Lodge introduced in the senate an amendment to an appro- priation bill to allow navy yards to bid on work on government owned or controlled ships. That amend ment has passed the senate and now is in conference committee.
 Under it's terms Boston navy yard could bid on the Leviathan work, but the President failed to hold back the letting of the contract and 1t was awarded on the basis of the old bids which had only until February I5 to run.
 It was said that Senator Lodge had presidential assurance that Boston navy yard would have a chance to bid on the Leviathan. Lodge appar- ently has been thrown down, though the Leviathan contract had become a campaign issue with him in his state.

depended upon to support labor's pro- gram; but i'll no event should such can didates be placed in the field by the work CTS where there IS no possible chance for their election and where putting such candidates in the field would divide the votes of the workers as to practically as- sure the election of an enemy of labor, and where, if such candidate were not in the field, there would be reasonable as- surance of electing a man who could be depended upon to support labor's pro- gram"
 The above resolution Is in line with a
 report made to the last convention of the Illinois state federation of 1abor-that the most prominent thing that separate party action by the workers accom- plished in this state was to defeat two pronounced champions of labor in the
 state Legislature and make the election of reactionaries possible.
 Minneapolis, Feb. 24-A rejection of the farmer labor party idea by A. C.. ToWnley, president of the national non- partisan league, has durnbfounded advo- cates of the third party who see one of their shining lights accept the A. F. of L.. non-partisan plan.
 In a speech in this city MT. Townley said he has changed his mind on this question, and that while the third party idea looks good from theoretical stand point, experience proves its ineffective ness. He favors the balance of power" idea and agitation to develop public opinion
 In support of this speech trade union ists show that the tendency of the times IS against party lines and party discipline, and in favor of non-partisan action on the political field. Under these condit- ions partisanship will prove more effective than to attempt to hold voters within the lines of political party.

CITYLEAGUE GAMES
Woco Beats SaYreton


 Probably the prettiest battle staged n the league was the contest between Woco Pep and Sayreton at the latter's ground, when the Woco outfit rolled in to winner up setting all the dope. With the score tied at the beginning Of the ninth, Norman King singlvd, 0'Neal ad- vanced him with a hot grounder that went safe over second, and Holt sac rificed him home on a long fly to right field.
 The feature of the game was the air-tight twirling by both pitchers, Huffstutler for Woco Pep, holding his opponents to four hits. and owens yielding but three to the Peppers. On three occasions with men on sec- ond and third, Owens set down Babe Ruth" Box of the Woco Peppers, re- tiring the side. He was in trouble only when errors by Holt and King allowed two scores
 An "old-timers" melee threatened in the last of the eighth when Babe Askew attempted to score from third on a grounder and Kirby O'Neal, Woeo Pep catcher, tagged him out as they eolllded. The srore:

Norman and Lee Make High Scores
 At Regular Shoot

Good scores were made by the shooters of the Birmingham Gun club Saturday afternoon by those who were willing to go up against the traps again after shooting half of the week in the big tournament oscar Norman, who was unable to locate the little clays very often during the tournament, was in fine form and powdered the entire 5O straight. T. K Lee tied Norman on the 50 by snuffing out 50 little clays without pebble.
 B. F. Strader came second in this match with just one short of Nor man and Lee. and landed 49. Third place was a tie between l. M. Crun, L. L. Vannerson, Pete Turner and Mrs Carl, who broke 47 each of the featherless tribe.
 The 100 target match was won by T. K Lee, who broke 9S of them' while second place went to Waiter vannerson. with 95. This Is the best score Vaunerson has made so far on the little clays, and was spien- did piece of work.
 J. r. Dovel was in third place with s4 breaks. This Is the best score that Mir. Dovel has made, and now like all trapshooters, he will be try ing for 96 and the 100 straight.
 The long runs made for the aft ernoon were: Lee TO, oscar Norman 50 (unfinished). Strader 4l, Dovel 52, Vannerson 46, Crum 3s.
 Good scores were made on double targets by some who shot them for the first time. J. P. Dovel made splendid scores on the doubles breaking IS out of 24 the first time and 20 out of 2+ the second time Seores.

 New York. July 22.-rhere Is every Indication that crowd falling short of the Dempsey Carpentier crowd bJ only 10000 or 15,o00--in other words, some 75.0Oo spectators--will sit in at the battle between Benny Leonard and Lew Tender for the lightweight championship of the world at the big wooden bowl on Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City next Thursday night.
 Public interest in this contest, which will 20 12 rounds, If both fighters stick, with no decision, 1t being Illegal in Jersey to render verdict Is keener than that evlnced over any pugillstic contest since tho heavyweight championship of the world was decided more than a year ego. This chiefly because Benny Leonard stands in public estimation as the one of two real fighting cham pions that we possess; with Dempsey. of course. the other.
 E Lew n Real Contender
 By his record, Lew Tender, the Philadelphia left-hander, is the losi- cal contender for the title, and, as matters TOW stand, the only real con- tender In these days of businesa- pugilism the public Is growing afraid to let itself get too excited over any particular bout, because the impress sion exists that fighters very often are more intent upon furthering some commercial end, as for instance. car rying an opponent along to another battle. than in giving their best. Whatever may be said about Leon ard he has always tried to win.
 In the case now under discussion, no one on the inside has any feeling other than that Leonard will fight as he has never fought before. For one thing. he and Tender have never met. Again, Lew Is left handler, and Benny has not been altogether at home against soutinnws. He has de- nied thls. but the fact IS as stated. Still. again the best of feeling does not exist between the two. Often fighters fake the so-ealled "grudgo fights" but It really does look as If Tender and Leonard are not friendly.

BARONS REST UP TODAY, BUT MEET
 CHICKS MONDAY
Dee Hunter Is Expected to Report in Birmingham
 Tomorrow
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Not so bad. fairly well, in fact
 That seems to be the opinion of railbirds, after looking over the Bar ons for the first time since the homelings were taken to keep by Joe Dunn. new pilot of the Bir- mingham aggregation.
 Good baseball was played by the Dunnsmen during the past weekend, when the Barons captured a two- out of three series decision over the New Orleans Pelieans. Aggressive, heads-up baseball was the order of the day on Thursday and Friday, when Joe Dunn piloted his new charges to two straight victories over the Pelicans. Yesterday the Pels regained bit of their prestige, by winning one game and getting a draw in the other, but the two out of three decision in favor of the Barons for the series was comfort ably gratifying to railbirds.
 Off Day Today
 Today the Barons rest up, after a couple of weeks of hard work, grid and luck, so far as victories were concerned. After today's off QAY, the DunsHloH arg III l0i dllOlHtT series that promises to be anything but pleasant, for the league-leading Chicks. as usual in the midst of an unbroken winning streak, open for three games at Rickwood Monday. After the invasion of the Chicks, the Vols, a doughty foe. come to the Wood for three games. and the week Is over, as well as the present home stay of the BaronS.
 The Dunsmen are still down in the lower ranks of the league standings and will probably stay there unless they continue their good playing of the past week. A reversal of form may be in order after the victories over the Pelicans. however, and bet ter things may then be expetced.
 Hunter to Report
 It was stated by Baronial officials yesterday that, while Dee Hunter, Meridian twirler recently purchased by the local club. had been sus- pended, the Cotton States leaguer Is expected to report here Monday.
 Hunter will stay on the suspension list until he does report, 1t was stated, but that advices from Me ridian were to the effect that, Dee is seriously considering retracting his statements that he will not re- port.
 If Hunter reports Monday, he will more than likely twirl the opener against the Chicks at Redwood.

tho fact that Leonard Is not so strong at the lightweight limit of f35 pounis as he is when he enters the ring at catch weights. Past battles have seemed to indicate this. as, for in- stance, the knockdown and count of nine he took against Richie Mitchell On the other hand. the writer watched him closely the other day when he got on the scales and the beam registered half q pound ovor 1he limit. He looked finely trained, 1t Is true, but he was hard as nails and in his subsequent bouts he was full of energy and hit like trip hammer.
 The writer, after looking over both boys, and passing what he has seen tpon memories of the two fighters Tn recent fight, believes that Leonard will win. He has hard punches h both hands, while Tendler relics a lot upon his left Bennys foot work is superior and he Is tho better boxer. The fight may go the 12 rounds with Leonard leading all the way. Of course. this may be the wrong slant. but that Is the way it looks. It would rot be surprising were Tender 10 fail to go the i2 rounds.

Little Chance of
 Rousch Returning

Cincinnati. July 22.-There is little prospect of Ed Rousch, holdout out fielder of the Cincinnati Nationals, returning to the club, 1t was learned after he held a short conference with August Hermann, president of the club here.
 Rousch insists he must get $36.000 for this year and next. saying he would agree to sign up for sl0,0o0 for the balance of this season. and s26,- poo for 1923.
 The directors of the club are unani- nous in refusing this demand. They stand by their original offer of $15,000 a year. and as the season has a little more than two months to go Rousch would receive $5.000 this year. President Hermann says Rousch can meet him tomorrow if he desires but stated that in any event Rousch would not be sold or traded.
