ALGONQUIN SCOUTS THROW HOOKS INTO
 TIE KODIAK BEARS
SPECIAL GATEWAY CORRESPOND DENT DESCRIBES BASEBALL
 FRACAS
Especial to The Gateway

KODIAK, June 12-The Algonoui, Scouts and the Kodiak Brownie staged a semi-professional ball gam
 here today, which, if chronicled b,
 cosmopolitan newspapers along will
 those of the major and coast Ieagues
 would make favorable comparison.
 It was semi" only on account of the unfavorable condition of the grounds at the Ocean Beach Park of the Ko. diak Island Baseball Association
 The last tide had brought in and covered the park with sand gravel. boulders and tin cans, and the sue cessful fielding of the hot, sizzling and fuming pill close to terra firma from off the bats of the slugging Bambinos was so puzzling that even Harry White. second sacker and Harry Grub at short (both farmed out to Kodiak from the mators) couldn't guess the angle it would take when it hit 8 boulder, an iron barrel hoop or a can. In the fourth frame, Bender smashed a hot creeper, Grub made a dive for 1 it simultaneously with it's contact with rock.What he was after went of on burning right angle tangent. but Harry fie1ded the rock and threw l it at the umpire.
 In the next frame, Harry White, guessing the tangent wrongly, gouged up 15 pounds of sand, and he also threw that at the good eyes of the Ump. They were both reminded that any repetition of that sort of offens- i've assault or even the slightest ob- jection to a decision of either umpire would not only bring a substantial fine, to be deducted from their seasons sal aries, but they would be held to be in contempt of court and the limit fine would be imposed. They were good Bears after that. However, they are fine guardians of the second garden as we'll as skillful manipulators of the double play trick No doubt they will be called back to the majors next sea- son and Kodiak will miss them.
 The captains of both teams selected a southpaw as their mound artist to deceive opposing batters. Grocket had slight edge on speed, while Simmons had by far the best control. and although his team lost, he allowed but six hits as against nine allowed by the opposition hurler.
 The Brownies batters were unlucky in their placements, while the Scouts were very fortunate. One of them tried to pound the pill across the Pa .cific Ocean, but only got it little past the Pribilof Islands, where it was retrieved by a female seal. Deputy U. s. Marshal Boyer of Fairbanks batting fame felded first base to per- lection, but couldn't solve the mystery of Grocket's delivery. He was once sure hitter and often used in the pinches, but now, o, well: we'll wait and see how he performs July Fourth.
 Norman Noble is no utility man who has to sit in the dug-out when it comes to backstopping. They don't get past past this bird, and no wonder as he uses four eyes to tell the proper place

JOBS GET STILL SCARCER In
IT INOIS

illinois enplovment which started to declare III
March q month sooner than in 1926, continued the
slow downward trend with decline of O.6@o be-
tween March and April, according to the Illinois
department of labor. This brings April employ
ment in Illinois factories to level 1890 below
April. 1926, and establishes the lowest mark since
August, 1925.
There were fewer workers on Illinois factory
pavrolls this April than in any April since 1917.
The reduction compared with April, 1923 amounts
to 1870 which means loss of jobs to upwards OIL
10000 workers
With the beginning of the outdoor work season
the free employment offices reported 154 april
cants for each 100 jobs compared with TIA Tor
each 100 jobs in March But in spite of this I'M
provement the number seeking jobs is higher than
in any April since 1921 when the industrial de-
preston was at its worst. In April, 1926, there
we're 129 applicants for each 100 jobs
The department remarks that the lockout OF
coal miners which began April 1 has increased the
competition for jobs at only 1 of the free employ
ment offices so far Offices reporting high ra
tics of applicants to jobs Cicero with 1876 fol
each 100 jobs, Quincy with 173, Chicago with l6e
and Aurora with 1852.
Clothing establishments led the decline with {
drop of 4.596 in employment. The April cut II
womens clothing jobs was the greatest in years
Meat packing establishments laid off 1870 O.
their workers, oil refineres 5.1a6, shoe factories
! 52@6 and leather factories 1870 A drop of 3.1%
in furniture was largely responsible for the 1.8%
decline in employment in the wood product
group. Machinery, electrical apparatus and agri
cultural implements manufacturers all reportet
fewer workers than in March.
The only important job gains in April were in
creases of 28@6 in textiles and 1870 in building
material industries. There was a season gain o
9.496 in workers employed by building contractors
Employment in factories in New York state de
clined even more sharply than in Illinois, accord
ing to the New York industrial commissioner TIL
reduction between March and April was about 29t
bringing employment nearly $50 under April, 1925
The commissioner says:
"This year March failed to show an increas
and this fact together with decline at least a
large as usual in April leaves the employment il
dex for the month from A to so lower than
year ago. The employment level for the first
months of 1927 was lower than for the same per
cd in any year since 1922"
Heavy reductions in the clothing industries an
considerable reductions in most of the met
trades more than balanced gains in building m;
terial and auto jobs. Employment in New Yol
factories is now nearly 1870 lower than in 1872
This means loss of jobs to about 100000 workers

LAW SCHOOL TEACHERS ASK
SACCO-VANZETTI REVIEW

Headed by fifteen of the Columbia University
Law School faculty, members of the law faculties
of twelve leading American Universities have
signed petition asking Governor Fuller of Mas
sachusetts to appoint commission of inquiry into
the Sacco-Vanzetti case, "to determine whether
the judicial institutions have done justice in this
case"
The petition pointedly disclaims any criticism of
the Massachusetts judiciary. 1t takes the ground
that the power of the governor to appoint such a
commission is in itself recognition that at times,
"the most admirable judicial system slips, or
seems to Slip" and that "the belief, whether well
founded or not is widely held that in the case OF
Sacco and Vanzetti there may have been confusion
Of two issues-that of the defendants guilt OF
murder, and that of their radcalism land that such
confusion may have obscured decision of the real
question under trial"
All OF the sixty-one persons who signed or ap
proved the plea live outside the state of Massa
chusetts, but they set forth that interest in the
case goes beyond the bounds of a single Com
monwealth. We are bound by that interest no

RECITAL AT POPLAR
is PRAISED HIGHLY

Poplar.-The annual recital of the
music department of the Poplar
schools, which was given at the Ola
cier theater Monday afternoon and
evening, was declared by many to
have been the best and most finished
performance ever given by the school
children, and this recital has always
been one of the biggest attractions
of the school year. The instrumental
numbers were proof of careful train
ing on the part of the instructors, as
well as constant practice by the
pupils themselves. The girls glee
club furnished three delightful num-
bers. A good attendance at both the
afternoon and evening performances
proved the appreciation of Poplar
residents for the work these young
people are doing.

The Polish peasants and landless
agricultural workers have lost their
struggle for emancipation. Warsaw
conservative circles declared that the
land reform legislation will soon be
a dead letter. The big land owners
are a tremendous power in Poland,
and dictator Pilsudski has made
frank overtures to them.
Under the land reform bill of 1925,
400,0 acres of land were to be par
celled each year for 10 years. This
legislation is not operating as in
tended because of the opposition of
the big owners. While over two
thirds of the peasants are landless
or possess only dwarf farms, the
peasant unions and parties striving
for real land reform are being per-
secuted, while the question asked at
the Polish capital is: "Why menace
the big landowners ?"
Poland's present route is toward
economic suicide. Backed by England
as a buffer state against Russian
communism, she is anti-Russian. Ar
ally of France in the Versailles set
Element, she is also anti German. Yet

1870 of the population of Poland
lives on farms, but large numbers
have been starved off and are SWELL
ing the ranks of the unemployed in
Warsaw and other cities. In 1924
when the Bolsheviks were at the
gates of Warsaw, after Poland had
invaded Russia, the peasants were
urged to defend the country and land
reform was freely promised. But as
