where one goes he finds opposition to
increase from persons who fear they
will nave to pay a portion of that in
crease.
But in a progressive government,
which is growing as rapidly as a kan
CARGO can jump, increases are impera-
tive along every line. The only place
to stop is with the benefit or com
modify that is already distributed at
just price
Generally the indications are that
stock holder. have been growing
comparatively wealthy, while a great
many other people have been mark
ing time. This cannot be answered
by the mere statement that stockhold-
ers are more economical than others,
for too many of them live on Fifth
avenue and drive Pierce Arrows, and
have their yachts and summer homes,
while others are sent to congress. II
it were not for the signs of affluence
the rest of US would not be sus-
pcious. The clothes one wears or the
car he drives or the length Of his
summer vacation may not make the
man, but all are indications Of wealth.
Laboring men do not betray these
signs. They are as human as the
average stakeholder and equally like
ly to give evidence Of allluence If they
are ever so blessed, but so far the
signs are wanting.
Instead of believing that the hflu-
ent men Of America are such because
they are of a superior order, it is
easier to conclude that they have
accidentally hit upon something that
pays. Some of them are possessed
of superior sagacity in deliberately
creating a demand for their commo-
dities, like the inventor Of potato
chips, storage batteries, and air
brakes, but these are of an unique
order called the genius, and they are
the last to deny laborer the right
to an increased wage. Most Of them,
like Henry Ford, are inclined to share
the proceeds of their strike" with
the employees who aid them in putting
their product on the market. Com
mon stockholders call them foolish
to be benevolent.
The people who will oppose most
effectively the laborer's demand for a
just share in what he produces is the
class who insists upon taking the
lions share. This is true of the oil
industry the coal, steel and railway
and other big concerns
whose stockholders give ample evil
dence of affluence which they do not
try to conceal.
1t will in no wise harm America
to grant the miners, the railway and
steel employees their demands if the
amount paid to such employees, who
number only few millions, is equita
bly, distributed among the 100000, 900
American people.

EVade Eight Hour Law.

Denver.--Those workers who be-
lieve all that is necessary to secure
the eight-hour day is to pass a law
are being disillusidned
There is an eight-hour law for wam.
en- in this state, but it is being ignored
in this city. A laundry proprietor
openly flaunts the law and has de-
clared: Il have a dozen big business
men behind me-" The state industrial
commission refuses to act, and the
district attorney takes the same posi-
ton.
Under the law, it is illegal for a
woman to work overtime. This places
her between two fres-she is dis
charged by the boss if she refuses to
work overtime, and she is fined if
she does.
This brilliant piece of statesman
ship it taken advantage of by long
hour employees who tell women EN-
ployes that they will be fined if they
admit that they work more than eight
hours.

COMMENT AND CRITI-
CISM ABOUT THINGS
DOING IN THE WORLD

Three cheers for the union min
ers of Somerset County, Pa!
They've just lost strike of seven
teen months but they haven't gone
back on their union. Though forced
to work on an "open shop" basis,
they declare they will maintain their
organization and will await the first
opportunity of winning contract and
union recognition.
That's the spirit that built up the
great American labor movement to
what ii is today and will make it
even stronger and more powerful in
the days that are to come.
Union men and women don't need
to be told that organization is bene-
fitting them. They know it. But il
is hard sometimes to convince the I'M
organized workers that unionization
will help them.
What the unorganized workers are
slow to see, however, those employ
ers opposed to unionism are quick TO
see and occasionally will frankly adj
nit. This is the case with the Me
chanics and Metals National Bank of
New York, which said IN recent
issue of its financial and business re-
view:
Zone class of labor, that which
is organized, is prominently
thriving today, while others are
languishing, or at best receiving
only moderate returns for their
effort"
Presumably the Merchants anC
Metals National Bank, representing
as it does strong business and finan,
cial interests, could hardly be calleC
an advocate of organized labor. Ye'
the bank has no hesitation in admit
ting that organization is paying gooC
dividends" to union men and women
Remember this quotation and show
lit to your non-unionist acquaintanc,
the next time he says unions dom
help the workers.
Egyptian workers are waking al
and are organizing. Though it i
| difficult to form unions in Egypt, a
nine-tenths of the 100000 popula
ton are engaged in farming of SOM
sort, organization is making pro
gress.
At the beginning of this year tn
trade unions had about 10000 mem
bers, divided among several dozen OF
CARNATIONS, including groups O
printers and bank clerks. The ban
clerks number 1000.
The unions have formed the Ma
tional Egyptian Trade Union FEEDER
alton, which is pushing organization
work. Before the World War Their
were hardly any strikes but in tn
last few years there have been sew
eral labor disputes.
Newspapers have featured Kin
Tut almost to the exclusion of othe
Egyptian news, perhaps conveyin
the impression that the country
largely populated by dead ones.
Evidently there are plenty of "liv
ones among the Egyptian workers.

Of the injunction issued in Chicag

The Methodist Church, a conference
of which is now in session in the
First church Of this city, is notably
friendly to the cause of Labor. In
practically every struggle the labor
ing man has waged, from the time OF
the GOLFERS in England to the present
day, Methodism has openly advocated
the cause of Labor.
When the GOLFERS were too poor to

Of the Methodist church there ha
never been a let-down from thi
policy. The church has been unabl
in conference sessions to do muc
more than adopt resolutions favorabl

emphatically denied the right of capi

a just wage. The church has not pre-
sumed to determine what a just wag
shall be, but, on the contrary, has LEI
that important consideration to tn
laboring man. 1t may safely be sal
that no church in America has don
more to save the laboring man frol

A large and enthusiastic religious
body is in convention in Champaign
1t is representative of one of the
largest and most influential Christian
denominations in the world, whose
number is legion; whose resources are
boundless; whose courage is unwayer-
ing; whose influence is upon the side
of justice and truth.
The Methodist missionaries have
penetrated the neglected and forgot
ten areas of every known land. Their
zeal has scattered the seed of the
gospel among the most degraded
classes under the dominance of heath
en- superstition; their persistence has
won a series of notable triumphs in
the conquest against avarice, intern
perance and immortality, the triune
foe of the gospel. The yotaries of
Methodism have amassed great wealth
and spent it lavishly with charitable
aim. They have halted in the pres
ence of no foe. They have fought
without fear of the enemy gaining a
permanent advantage; they have not
quailed in the face of temporary de-
feat.
In matters of public concern they
have taken a pronounced stand. They
with others, have fought the legalized
liquor traffic to its permanent defeat
in America; they have favored liv.
ing wage for workmen and the right
of suffrage for women; they have
opposed child labor in factory and
field; they have built hospitals for the
sick, homes for the infrm and schools
for the untutored of every race, and
they have made brave attempts to
stamp out that racial bigotry which is
the parent of war. For all this, which
is the gospel in essence, why should
they not be commended?

The demand of railway employees
for an increase in wages varying
from u per cent to % per cent will
be met with strenuous opposition from
the owners of railway systems, con-
gressmen who are vitality interested in
dividends from railroad stock, and
many citizens who are not far-seeing
enough to note the Importance of a
living wage to laboring man.
There is always opposition to an in
crease of any kind from persons who
do not expect to be affected advan
tageously by the increase. There il
opposition to increased taxes, when
is known that officials who raise tn
taxes are interested only in helping
the government meet its expenses
there is opposition to increased price
of food by those who are compelled t

INDOOR GOLF KEEPING
PACE WITH GROWTH OF
THE SPORT OUTDOORS
Bob Macdonald Lays Out
Whole Floor of Chicago
Building as Links.
BY the Associated Press.

Chicago, Jan. 28.--IndoOr golf ha'
grown as rapidly as outdoor golf, il
was shown by a summary made to-
day of housed golf courses in Chicago
While Il dozen years ago George O'Neil
professional who taught the game
to John ID. Rockefeller, opened the
first indoor golf links as an expert
ment that did not thrive well for a
time. in recent years the demand for
winter play has made these sheltered
links so popular that Chicago alone
now has 60 such places.
Dealers in golf supplies assert the
game is almost as popular in other
cities. with the demand increasing con-
stantly. In addition TO public courses,
many clubs have private indoor golf
links, and number of large stores
provide the amusement for customers
who desire a relief from shopping.
Hundreds Of golfers also have some
arrangements for practicing in their
homes.
The most pretentious indoor course
thus far installed is just ready to be
opened by Bob Macdonald. long-driving
professional. who figured in many ma
tional meets.
Macdonald spent large sum Of
money in fitting out one whole floor
of one of ChiCago's largest downtown
buildings.
In addition to recreation. which con-
sists of driving into net or against
a marker and putting on regulation
green's, lessons are given.

countless little ipfield taps are turned
into base knocks that would would
mean putouts for the starbOard gang.
The proof Of the assertion that left
handed batters usually obtain higher
batting percentages than do the right
handlers is borne out in the official
averages of the American League for
the 1922 season.
Of the twelve leading hitters, no less
than nine of them take their "cuts"
from the left side of the plate, with
Sisler, Cobb and Speaker. all south
paws, topping the list. Harry He'll
mann of the Detroit Tigers, as was
the case in 1921, led the field of right

AS a Fight Promoter Richard Bows to the Marriag


No sport offers more possibilities fol-
unusual features than baseball.
l have umpired any number of games
in which players have started at the
bat. in the field and on the bases.
The game in which Roger Peckin
paugh, then with New York, faced the
pitcher five times and was not charged
with a time ut bat was most unusual
He received five bases on balls, not Of
fering at single ball pitched.
/ have umpired games in which play
ers have made hits on each and every
appearance at the plate. l have worked
games where batters have reached firs;
base in safety in each time at bat, yet
failed to make n hit and were charged
with a time at bat in each trip to the
plate. To make such a thing possible
it was necessary that the opposing
fielders err each time.
In q double header Mt Washington
saw a player hit the ball on five con-
secutive trips to the plate, be retired at
first in each instance. yet fail to be
charged with single time at bat.
How come? All that is necessary
for a player to create such a record is
to sacrifice ON each trip to the plate.
That sounds rather easy, yet when
the opposition realizes that is the play
YOU intend to make, it is far from 4
soft proposition for the batsman to
successfully advance base runner on
five consecutive trips to the plate.
That was Wade Killifer's portion
back in Washington on August 81, 1910.
4 double-header was scheduled between
Washington and Detroit.
In the first game. Killefcr made four
trips to the plate. Each time there was
runner on first base and no one
out. The closeness of the score made it
imperative that Killefer bunt, since
Washington was playing for one run.

SEEM TO HAVE EDGE

American League Leaders
in Hitting Almost All
Port Side Swingers.

New York, Jan. 26.-For many years,
or perhaps since baseball was in its
infancy, the relative merits of right
handed batters and those of southpaw
swingers have been vehemently dis.
cussed.
And while many arguments in favor
of both have been voiced time and time
again. still it is generally accepted that
the hitters who strike from the left
side of the plate have 4 distinct edge
in that their position in the batter's
box gives them a good full step lead
over the right-handers. Obviously, then,
