SOME TRADES LIKELY
BY MANAGER HIGGINS
Building for Future Is Task
Imposed on All Pilots.

The statement that Miller Higgins
ecently made, saying that he would
lot make any changes in the Yankees
lineup, should not be taken too seri-
,usly. While none of the main
tags Of the team are In danger Of
icing replaced by new talent, 1t seems
kelly that several changes will be
forthcoming next year when the bell
rings
Building for the future is one Of the
tasks imposed on every baseball mana
ger, and Higgins is too learned In the
ways Of championship ball clubs to
regard past success as any guaranty
to future triumphs. Age annually ex-
acts its toll among major leaguers, and
the Yankees, in spite of their impress
sive performance In the recent worlds
series, cannot be regarded as immune
from the call Of Father Time. Hug
gins knows the infallible signs of fad
ing greatness, and his only course Is
to strengthen by making changes. A
player turned adrift from champion
ship club gets much sympathy from a
public which forgets for the moment
that manager Is paid to produce a
winning ball club.
Higgins can be expected to be as
alert for playing strength this winter
as he was during the off season a year
ago, when his team seemed so badly
in need of shaking up after the sad
showing in fine 1922 series. He traded
no regulars then, but he offered some
OF his regulars in trades which did not
materialize. 1t Is safe to say that
with possibly three or four exceptions
Higgins would talk trade now for any
of his 1923 worlds champions. That
Is the way of baseball, a game In
which standing pat is akin to slipping
backward. John McGraw traded one
of his brightest stars, George Burns
after the 1921 series and never again
used as a regular the player who was
the scintillating luminary in that tri-
umph over the Yankees-Johnny Raw.
lings. Yet McGraw's 1922 team won
another worlds title. SO do not be
surprised If Higgins swings deal In
volving one or more Of his 1928 regu
lars. Standing pat has its dangers.

in the major leagues. He has
been drafted by the Yankees
from the Corsicana club of the

GARY THROWS OUT
SMOKE SCREEN TO BE-
PUDDLE OPPONENTS

hashington.-An analysis of the
l2-hour-day CORES ondence between
President Harding and Judge Gary
does not indicate that the steel trust
has changed its position.
Instead, there is danger that the
correspondence may be used BY de-
Tenders of the steel trust to silence
agitation against the i2-hour-day.
Since May 20 last the steel barons
have been dashed numerically BY a
whirlwind of public opinion because
of their refusal TO abolish the t2-hour
day, unless
IF labor would become sutfi-
Gent to permit it, the members of
this committee would favor en-
tirely abolishing the l2-hour day,
provided the purchasing public
would be satisfied with selling
prices that justified it, and pro-
vided, further, that the employees
would consent, and that industry,
generally, including the farmers,
would approve"
These Ifs" and butts" in defense
of the inhuman workdav enraged the
public. On June Is, the president
wrote Judge Gary:
I'm the hope that this question
could be disposed of, am won
dering if il would not be possible
for the steel industry to consider
giving an understanding that be-
fore there shall be any reduction
in the staff of employees through
any recession of demand for steel
products OR AT ANY TIME
WHEN THERE is A SURPLUS
OF LABOR AVAILABLE, that
then the change would be made
from the two shifts to three
shifts"
This is the identical position Judge
Gary and associates took on May %
last.
Judge Gary acted on the presidents
hint and used the presidents identi-
cal language. In his letter To the
president, which the latter has just
made public, the steel trust head said;
"We think it can be brought about
without undue delay when, as you
state it, THERE is A SURPLUS
OF LABOR AVAILABLE"
In his Tacoma speech the president
treated Gary's letter as pledge in
favor of the eight-hour day. II wish
to congratulate the steel industry on
this important STEP" said the presi-
dent.
But the foxy steel executive has
only muddied the waters. He has
committed himself to nothing and has
made no pledge. Instead, he has re-
affirmed his May % declaration that
more immigrants must be admitted.
The presidents letter has permitted
him to throw out a smoke screen
which must be dissolved before agita-
ton against the trusts l2-hour day
will prove as effective as before the
presidents letter.
President Gompers has declared
that the Gary letter is tainted with
bluff and insincerity.' The trade un
ion executive said it is amazing that
the president should consider Gary's
letter worth giving to the public as
a serious problem"

of the year a dividend of little over
$4,000 was declared. During this
time the association saved for its
members seas per car in commissions
on $500 cars of stock worth over
nine million dollars. The average com
mission charge per car, S20.27, was
the same as old line commission firms
charge, but out of that sum the
savings refund of seas was made.
In addition TO the large number Of
cars of stock handled. the company
also purchased AIS cars of feed stuff
for its members, and In that capacity
undoubtedly saved them many thous-
and dollars more.
The farmers have demonstrated
tina, they can not only conduct local

WILL ROGERS THINKS
STEEL MILLS MUST
BE HEALTH RESORT

Will Rogers, vaudeville star and
movie favorite, writing in the Ne"
York Times, commented as follows
on Judge Gary's defense of the
twelve-hour day:
1--WE can always depend on Judge
Gary for a weekly laugh in his
speeches. But last week he had the
prize wheeze of his career.
'He had his aceomplices make an
investigation of the steel industry
and they turned in a report that II
was much more beneficial to man to
work II hours a day than 8. They
made this report so alluring that II
is apt to make people who read II
decide to stay the extra four hours
on their jobs, just through the health
and enjoyment they get out of 1t.
81 never knew steel work was so
easy till | read that report. Why,
the advantages they enumerate in
this report would almost make a
bootlegger trade jobs with a steel
worker.
"But here is the kick. Judge Gary
got up to read his report before the
stockholders who had made it out.
He read for one hour in favor of a
12-hour day. Then he was so ex-
hausted they had to carry him out,
and Charley Schwab had to go on
reading the sheet.
Nov, if the judge couldn't work
an hour, how did ne expect his
workers to do IL every day?
after Schwab read for two hours
the audience was carried out.
at was the greatest boost for the

NEARLY THIRTY MIL
LION COOPERATIVES
IN THE WORLD TODAY

Before the war there was great
rejoicing when the worldwide CO.

total membership of 100000. Now
they hav erolled up the stupendous
total of 2S,000,000 heads of families
representing approximately l0O,-
100000 people-a nation in itself.
Statistics on the growth of coopera-
ton have been compiled by the Brit
ish Wholesale Cooperative Society in
the Peoples Year Book for 1922,
which has just been made public.
The great spread of the movement
makes fact collecting a difficult mat
ter. 1t has been necessary in some
cases 70 make use of membership
figures for previous years so that, on
the whole, the number Of cOOperators
given above is propably much greater
than the figure indicates.
Russia leads the world in coopera-
tive membership. In 1918 il could
boast of 100000 members of CO.
operative societies. While practically
everybody in the Soviet state is a
member of a cooperative, this figure Is
a conservative estimate Of those who
became coOperators involuntarily.
Next in membership size comes Great
Britain, with its 4,432,478 heads of
families. Germany and France fol-
low next with 2,714,109 and l 10000
respectively.
