FORBES FIELD, PITTSBURGH,
Oct. 6.-The Pirate defense cracked
wide open again today and the New
York Yankees rode through to their
second successive victory in the eur.
rent world series.
George Pipgras, pitching his first
world series game, held the Pirates
in the hollow of his hand, allowing
but seven hits, no two of which
came in one inning.
The fanks dubbed Vie Aldridgc
from the mound in the seventh and
took every advantage of the Pirate
misplays in the two big innings.
Loose playing by the Pirates was
responsible for the start of the Iank
scoring in the third when the Ianks
scored three runs. Again in the
seventh when the hugmen counted
three more, ii was weak defense as
much as a hard attack which helped
the American League champions ia

Delegate Says Labor Not
Satisfied With College
Professor Theories.
By DAN CAMPBELL
UNITED Press Staff Correspcndent)

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6.-The s1ze
Of the pay envelope, capital and
labor's eternal problem, was given
consideration on new basis, at the
forty-seventh annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor
here today.
Boldly discussed in the report of
the federation s executive council
dealing with union wage standards,
the subject which may vitally af-
feet the great industries of the coun-
try, is under wide discussion by the
delegates, prominent unionists adj
mitted.
j. p. Frey, of Cincinnati, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Metal Trades
department., whose address was post
poned yesterday, was to present the
whole new startling theory as to
what should determine the size of
the pay roll in the various indus
tries today.
"The new basis, Frey declared,
"will give labor for the first time
n reliable rule of measurement by
which it may discover what it should
he paid.
Coming as the accompaniment 70
the enormous profits made by en-
ployers in the large, highly organ
lied and highly mechanical indus
tries, the federation s new attitude
is believed to presage demands for
wage increases in certain fields, "a
survey of the convention hall in
dicated.
College professors have been dis
cussing the theory of wages for
years, according to Frey, but it has
remained for labor to develop, n
Just wage basis. ~
Although little ouside attention
was paid at the time, the American
Federation of Labor two years ago
adopted policy looking toward the
new method of wage measurement -
Frey said.
Labor in the past has Justified
its wage scales by reference to the
cost of living alone. This element
will not be disregarded in the flu
ture, but another element will be
added-the productivity of the
industry paying the wage in ques-
ton. "
a great deal of time has been
spent in research in keeping tab on
the purchasing power of the dollar,
Frey said. Translated into the Ian
guage of everyday life, this re-
search was for the purpose of find
ing out how many shoes and dresses
the dollar would buy for the baby,
how many loaves of bread for the
family larder, how much of the
rent it would pay and other infor-
nation.
Careful watch was kept to see
that the dollar purchased as much
If these necessities today as it did
yesterday. Workers were often told
that it was not ''money wages"
but the "real wages" or what the
wages would buy that counted.
While all of it is important, it
ignores what should be one of the
main factors in wage determination.
Labor has right, in framing its
wage demands, TO consider not only
the question, "What must / con-
sumo in order to livef" but the ad-
ditioual question, "What is the mar
ket value of the things L produceip

Board Defers Action Un-
til Later Date After
Hearing Both Sides.

Appearance of Robert L. Dalkc
of San Diego before the city council
with subdivision proposal and a
lively battle over the introduction
of vending machines into the city
marked the meeting of the city
board last night. Another import
ant feature was the passing of two
ordinances Of intention for the paw
ing Of sections of five city streets.
Two different companies submit.
ed tentative contracts for the in
stalation Of the vending machines
at the meeting. One company was
willing to pay a license of $1,000 for
the privilege of installing from one
to 20 machines while the other firm
offered 1920 to place from one to
90 machines in the citv.
representatives of the two COM
panies engaged in light controver-
sv over the placing of the amount of
the tax but were interrupted by
Mayor Bucklin, who declared that
to the council to determine. whether
or not the machines would be per
mittcd.
He then asked that any person
wishing to voice an opinion in the
matter take the floor. Rev. George
A. Hartman, pastor of the Presby-
tcrian church, addressed the council.
He protested vigorously against al
lowing the entrance of the machines,
declaring them to be a menace to
the morals of the city's youth.
Edgar b. Hervey, attorney and
former police court judge here, next
took the floor and also addressed
the council in protest against the
machines. He declared them to be
trouble makers.
Explain Machine
Representatives of the companies
then took the floor in turn. A dem
onStration, showing how the ma
chimes work, was then carried on
and the representatives explained
how every element of chance con.
nected with the running of the ma
chimes had been eliminated. They
declared that the machines. while
resembling the gambling device for.
merly known as a slot machine, were
placed on the market solely for the
purpose of selling mints and explain.
ed how it was impossible to place a
nickel in the machine and work il
without knowing what ones nicke
would purchase.
After the demonstration tie coun
eli decided that it would defer ac
tion until the next meeting of the
| board.
The proposed subdivision repre-
sented by r.. l.. Dalke, developer
and promoter, is located east OF
Fourth street and at point just

that the annexation of this property
would be necessary and Dalke in
