has increased steadily with the prog
there is never any greaS difficulty
about arriving at a salary agreement.
The professional ball player in the
big league usually gets just what he

Therefore, with nothing particular
to complain about, the unions have
failed for lack of something to do.
The players grow tired of seeing their
dues go to pay the salaries of men
who either sit in the offices looking
important or travel about the country

Mind you. l have no objection to
baseball unions. Often I have told
the players this. ] do object. though,
to them going ahead without any
