OUT OF LINEUP

I'll SUALLY slow to start in the
81 spring, Heilmann was far
more backward than usual in
the manner of base hits this year.
Injuries and illness so handicapped
his work that, for time, he was
out Of the lineup, because of a bat
ting slump.
1t is hard to imagine three-time
batting champion not being in the
game because he wasn't hitting, yet
Heilmann, for several weeks this
spring experienced that rather I'M
usual happening.
Starting around July to hit his
stride, Heilmann began to make up
for lost time. Hit batting average,
then slightly below the 800 figure,
soon became much healthier.
During the winning streak of thir-
teent straight by Detroit, the bat of
Heilmann was a potent factor. BY
the close of August, with a mark
only few points shy the 400 figure,
he finally topped the league.
It is just possible considerable
argument will result at the close Of
the American League season as to
who is best entitled to the batting
honors.
SIMMONS ARGUMENT
- L SIMMONS of the Athletics
q had an average of 1873, when
an injury, suffered in sliding
into the plate, put him out of the
running. 1t is doubtful if he will
play any more this year.
Should some player, who has par
ticipated in the entire schedule of
154 games, finish the season with
mark a few points less than that
of Simmons, there would be an i'm
mediate argument as to who should
be labeled champion.
Simmons, with eighty-nine games,
has only a little better than a half
seasons play to his credit. 1t
would seem that some other player,
having played in almost twice as
many games and finished only a
point or two below Simmons, should
have turned in more creditable
performance.
1t has been a major league prece-
dent that the player who has played
throughout the season should get
any benefit Of the doubt, if there is
but little to choose between the
two.
At present, the biggest menace
to HeiImahn's hopes of winning
his fourth batting championship
is Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, who
has been among the first five
swatters practically all season.

The fight against victimization
took tragic turn on July 9Th, when
Comrade Jack Hines, a picket, was
foully murdered by an armed dupe
of the employing class. This outrage
created intense resentment among
the striking workers, who, after they
had buried our late comrade with
due reverence and honor, redoubled
their efforts to prevent scabs from
reaching the mill. 1t is significant
that the employers press described
the murder of Jack Hines as "unfor-
tunate," while they denounced the
picketing as "an outrage" and "mob
violence"
On Tuesday, July 10th, the strikers
were asked to accept the following
terms of settlement: ~ That all en-
ployes who worked in the mill and

Against Piece Work.

At its meeting held on July 7th, the
Labor Council of N. S. w. endorsed
the action of the Iron Trades Group
in compiling and distributing a pam
phlet explaining the evil effects of
piece-work, bonus work, etc, and car
ried a resolution converting a meet
ing of the executives of the whole of
the iron trades unions to formulate a
policy to fight against the iniquitous
proposals contained in the Beeby
Award
Repudiate Award.
On Sunday, July 10th, a mass meet
ing of the members of the Amalga-
mated Engineering Union, held at
Sydney, decided to repudiate the
award.
The combined executives of the
metal trades unions met at the Trades
Hall, Sydney, on Wednesday, July
goth, and decided upon the following
"That this special meeting of all
the iron trades unions of New South
Wales unanimously repudiates the
award of Judge Beeby, which deals
with payment by results, piece-work,
and dilution of labor.
Further, the executive of the ALI
Australian Trades Union Congress
act in conjunction with the iron trades
federal unions to formulate a policy
to combat the iniquitous proposals in
Judge Beeby's awards. That all
unions pledge themselves to carry out
the policy thus formulated.
"That this union pledges itself to
refuse to appoint any representatives
on any committee to be appointed I'M
der the award that favors the fore
going. That we call upon the execu-
tive of the ADMINISTRATION Trades
Union Congress to meet together i'm
mediately, and that they call upon
each federal body to appoint three
representatives of each union in the
iron trades group. In order to do this
in the state, a committee of two to be
appointed by each union involved in
the trouble to act in conjunction with
the state disputes committee.
'In the meantime mass meetings
to be held, leaflets printed and cir
culated, and each shop meeting to
be formed. That all unions call mass
meetings of their members, such
meetings to be under the direction of
the iron trades group" 9

Co., Ltd, Waterloo, Sydney, also
ceased work for the same reason. On
Thursday, July Dist, the engineers at
Robson Bros, Melbourne, resumed
work on the daily hiring system, but
the employers agreed to pay the same
overtime rates as prevailed before
the Beeby Award began to operate.
At its meeting held on Thursday,
July 18th, the Brisbane Trades Hall
Council carried the following resolu-
ton:
"That this meeting welcomes the
action of members of the Amalga-
mated Engineering Union Sydney
in defying the Award made by Judge
Becky, providing for piece-work,
which by past experience, has proved
inimical to the interests of members
of the working-class. Further, that
this Council considers that sooner
than accept such degrading conditions
it would be in the interests of all
workers to repudiate the Court of
Federal Arbitration; and we seek the
support Of other Councils in this
matter"
The Melbourne Trades Hall Coun-
Gil and the Trades and Labor Council
of Adelaide have also carried resolu-
tions repudiating piece-work.

Brown, General Secretary of the
British Civil Servants Association,
.On the USSR.
Brown, General Secretary of the
British Civil Servants Association,
who spent two months in the USSR
has left for abroad. Before his de-
parture Brown declared that the
Union of Soviet Employees is more
democratic than the corresponding
unions in Great Britain. The right
of recall possessed by the Plenum,
equality in living conditions between
the union leaders and the rank and
file members, the high percentage of
active members in the union--all this
combined is a refutation of the erron-
eous conceptions held abroad about
the Soviet Trade Union Movement.
Brown writes: 81 was surprised at
everything l saw in connection with
the structure and activity of Soviet
Union employees and also in connec-
ton with the Soviet social order in
general. On my return to England l
will make it my business to spread
among the civil servants Of Great
Britain the information which l gath

Basic Wage.

A new basic wage of t4.5,0 for a
man and wife in the metropolitan area
of Sydney IN. S. W. was declared
by the Basic Wage Commission on
Monday, June 9th; a basic wage of
$3.50 for adult females was declared
on the same date. This represented
1 l. a week increase for males and
3/6 for females. Most of the union
officials regarded this increase as
more of an insult than a benefit, be-
cause the basic wage had remained
stationary for nearly two years, and
if it had been computed on the same
basis as previous declarations it
would have been f4.17.0.
The rural basic wage was declared
on Wednesday, July goth, at f4.40.
1t is hard to understand how that
amount was arrived at. 1t seems that
the standard Of living of the workers
of New South Wales is determined
more or less by guess-work; however,
while the workers are content to al
low this sort of thing to go on, one
cannot blame the employers-and
their commissions-from taking ad-
vantage of the situation.
