Billy Evans Says
Stars Good Leaders

Stars Good Leaders
Do good bah players make the
same KIND Of managers?
In recent years, star ball players
have. been unusually successlul as
team leaders.
In the American League, Iris
Speaker, Ty Cobb, George Sisler and
Stanley Harris, four Of, the games
greatest stars, have been just as sue
cessful in the managerial role.
Stanley Harris won u pennant and
a world series in his first year.
What is more, his play seemed to i'm
prove with the increased RESPONSE
bilities that fall to a manager.
Now we have Eddie Collins; famed
second sacker of the Chicago White
Sox, joining the manager stars.
Of course there is not room in
the majors for all the present or
passing stars, SO majority of them
must east their fortunes with the
minors.
Donnie Bush, one of the greatest
shortstops the game has ever pro-
duced, is one OF them. Bush man
aged the indianapolis club Of the
American Association last year with
great success.
For the last two springs Bush and
his Indianapolis club have been a
thorn in the side of majority Of
the major league ball clubs training
in Florida.
Likes to Beat Majors
One year ago Indianapolis beat
every major league club it played
one or more times, winning IL out of
IL games. This year it has done
better than break even.
AS | watched Bush's team take
the famous New York Giants into
camp one afternoon, l commented
on the great work the INDIANAPOLIS
club had been doing against the
majors.
Il, want to win every game l can
from the major league teams" said
Bush. II have, impressed that fact
on nv players"
while the big league teams may
treat the games lightly, my club
doesn't. What is more lit is too
strong for any major league team

WAGES KEPT DOWN
By Welfare Work Decision
of Federal Board Shows

Washington.- Welfare work keeps
wages down and employers should
not be taxed for this attempt to
equalize low wage rates.
This decision was made by the
United States board of tax appeals
in the case of the Poinsett mills, To-
Gated in Greenville, S. c..
The mill management was taxed
for its expenditure for welfare work
among it's employees, and appealed to
the tax board on the ground that
this money was used "for purposes
connected with the. operation of it's
business"
In sustaining the appeal, the board
said: "
"The foregoing facts show that the
Poinsett mills had consistent policy
of welfare work among it's employees
which, as the president of the cor
poration testified, was necessary to
produce an attitude of contentment
toward the company among it's en-
ployes, to equalize the lesser wage
established in the section in which
the company operated with some
what higher scale paid in other sec
tions, and to reduce the volume Of
labor turnover"
The effect Of this decision will be

Central Bodies Striving
10 Impress Workers With
Sense Of Responsibilities

By International Labor News Service
Mexico City.-The Mexican Fedora
ton of Labor and the Federation of
Trade Unions of the Federal District
Central Labor Union of Mexico City,
have issued a joint warning to all
affiliated organizations to the effect
that their demands upon employers
for higher wages and the improve

within the limits of fairness and rea-

No strike will be sanctioned by the

made are beyond reason.

Organized Teachers Back
Ambitious Program Designed
To Improve School System

By international Labor News Service.
Chicago.-An ambitious program
has been announced by the American
Federation of Teachers for 1925-1926
In announcing the program, contain
ing 16 points, Secretary F. G. Stecker,
| of Chicago, said that the federation
will at once launch an aggressive
campaign for its adoption throughout
the country.
1T is regrettable to say so, yet it
| is undeniably true that the average
American of today gives more atten-
tion to individual pleasures and
amusements, including his bootlegger,
than to the institutions that are
molding the future of his children" /"
said Mr.. Stecker.
Program to Improve Schools
The Is points in the new program
of the organized teachers are as fol-
lows:
Restoration of the normal five e-hour
day in public schools. This calls for
| FIVE hours of actual midday session
daily and in some cities would
lengthen the day that, at present, is
being curtailed owing to building
shortages.
Establishment of a cultural wage
for teachers, that will allow them to
improve their training and social at
tainments, with annual automatic in
crements.
Single Salary Schedules
Establishment of single salary
schedule for teachers having equal ex-
perience, preparation and other quail
fications. The federation has previ-
ously declared for a $2,00O-a-year
minimum for teachers and this clause
would establish scale upward from
that figure according to training,
preparation and qualifications in ad-
dition to the minimum.
Sabbatical leave for teachers, with
adequate compensation to permit
them to procure additional learning
and recreation necessary to increased
efficiency. Such leaves would be auto
matically operative in order of appli-
cation.
Academic freedom for teachers and
pupils, especially in the social and
1Ct
ed at interference from any source
with freedom in teaching" estab-
lished, facts and theories supported
by existing conG;tions.
Pay for Unavoidable Absence

illness, quarantine or death in the i'm
mediate family.

"INCITER OF WAR"
Russia is Classed BY State
Department Official

Williamsport, Mass.-Soviet Rus
sia was classer as an "inciter of war"
by William r. Castle, Jr., chief of the
division of western European affairs,
department of state, speaking before
the institute Of politics.
Mr.. Castle declared that the admin
.stration is opposed to the recognition
Of soviet Russia or the extension of
American loans to that country. This
statement is significant because Pro-
fessor George H. Blakeslee, of Clark
University, pointed out that Mr.. Cas-
tie has had immediate supervision of
the European policy of the United
States for many years.
Mr.. Castle said that the assertion of
those who attempt to differentiate be-
tween the activities of the soviet gov
ernment and the third internationale
has been proved wrong. 1t is now
clearly understood, he said, that the
soviet government and the third inter-
rationale are only the right and left
hand of the same organism.
Insisting that our policy must al
ways remain thoroughly American
based nthe fundamental interests OF
the United States, he said:
"Only sentimentalists will find fault
with the government for this attitude
because only they could make the alb
surd claim that the American people
elect their president primarily to pro-
mote the interests of other countries
In the final analysis the protection
and promotion of the permanent in.
terests of this country by the govern
ment is best for the world at large
Declaring that the Russian govern.
ment has employed agents to stir ur
trouble in the United States, Mr.
Castle said that the European nations
have gained little by recognition Of
the s0viets except an army of propa.
gandists who attempt to undermine
the government whose guests they
are.

nation will be wiped out.
"The originators of the congress
have headquarters in Chicago. They
conduct number of communist or
ganizations with interlocking direc-
tories that work under the direction
of Moscow.
Communism in America is COM
parable to the boil weevil in the cot
ton fields. Both are importations and
equally injurious.
Negroes Warned Against Schemes
"While the convention to be held is
called the American Negro Labor
Congress, behind the purpose of its
originators is to mislead the colored
men into believing that all their
grievances will be remedied by over
turning the government of the United
States and establishing a soviet re-
public-otherwise the dictatorship of
the proletariat. Race hatred will be
encouraged to bring about this end.
"a number of unions composed of
colored men have beer deceived into
sending delegates. They have been
led to believe they will attend con-
vention of union negroes. The fact is
that the convention was called by
men who are not members of trade
unions, or if there are they do not
attend the unions of which they are
members. The organized labor move
ment is expelling communists as rap
idly as they are found out.
81 wish to warn all negro members
of trade unions that they are being
led into trap that will eventually be
their undoing."
Paper Cancels Order for Cuts
j. M. Conley, editor and publisher
of the Labor Leader, Dubuque, Iowa,
writes that Immediately upon receipt
of the August issue of International
Labor News Service, containing the
exposure of the American Negro La
Dor Congress, he cancelled an order
for cuts from the congress.
"We were prompted" he explained,
ito write them believing they were
affiliated with the Chicago Federation
of Labor. No communist outfit is GO
ing to get look-in in this labor paper
as long as we are in charge"

GREAT PROGRESS
Reported in A. F. of L
Union Label Publicity
Campaign

Washington.-Fur details of
the organization campaign of the A.
F. of L. and the union label trades
department were perfected at a meet
ing of the departments executive
board. The meeting was attended by
President Green.
The first draft of the scenario was
read. The story of the picture will be
a story of humanity and its prog
ress through trade union effort. 1t
will show the difference between the
union shop and the anti-union shop;
the difference between autocracy and
democracy in industry; how morgan
lied employees are coerced into with
drawing requests to remedy griev-
ances; how organized employees deal
with employers through representa-
tives the workers select.
The union label will be shown as a
symbol for sanitary products and for
manhood and womanhood.
The benefits of the eight-hour day
will be emphasized, as will the strug-
gle against child labor.
One important change in the pro-
gram was made. Salaried officials of
state federations Of labor and city
central bodies will be requested to
serve as lecturers where the picture
will be shown. Their familiarity with
local conditions will add to the effect
iveness of the campaign.
The routes Of these publicity units
will be made according to requests by
labor officials in the various states.
Requests are to be forwarded to John
]. Manning, secretary-treasurer, union
label trades department, A. F. Of L.

Mexican Organized Labor Will Not
Sanction Unjustified Demands Of Union

in their demands, but we
want to assert most emphatically that
the time is gone when any group
union or organization can command
the support and sanction of the Mex
lean Federation of Labor regardless
of the reasonableness of their de,
mands.
"From now on, before any set of de-
mands upon an employer is sanction
ed by the Mexican Federation of La
Dor, a careful study will be made of
all the factors entering into the situa-
ton, especially as to the effect of the
demands upon the industry involved,
and the demands will only be sane
toned if the study reveals that the
industry will not be adversely affect
ed. In other words, if the industry in
question can afford to grant the de-
mands without seriously impairing it's
productivity, the demands will be
sanctioned. An indication of the
effectiveness of this policy is the fact
that in the past year petitions, de-
mands and strikes have decreased go
per cent in the last six months in the
federal district.
Not Responsible for Reds
I'VE again want to state most en-
phatically that it is unfair and malic-
ious to judge the policies and acts of
the Mexican Federation of Labor and
its affiliated organizations by the poll
cies and acts of the few groups and
organizations calling themselves COM
munists. We can not be held respon-
sible for the acts of workers organi-
cations not affiliated with the Mexi-
can Federation of Labor"

PRISON LAW VOID

Albany, N. Y.-The law creating
the state board of prison industries
has been declared unconstitutional.
This legislation was favored by Gov
ernor Smith, and is intended to reha-
bilitate industry in state prisons. One
of the most important results expect
ed was the probability of being able to
pay prisoners reasonable wage, in
stead of the one cent and half a
day, maintained for years, which
would aid them in maintaining their
families.
Friends. of the legislation declare
the ruling will have no effect on pres
ent activities.
