THE committee found mvn

1.-THE dispute in the Pittsburgh
soft coal fields is more than a
local fight between a union and a
group of coal operators. 1t is an
industrial war that affects condi.
lions which the committee has
found in its first-hand survey in the
coal mines and camps
The committee today turned its
searchlight on the central Penn
syIvania fields. 1t was particularly
interested in the injunctions issued
by Judge J. N. Langham, OF the
state court Of common pleas. One
of the restraining orders prohibited
the striking miners from congregat'
ing to sing hymns in the yard Of
the Magyar Presbyterian Church Al
Rossiter twenty-eight miles from
here. The miners also were en-
joined from picketing.

strikers to gather in the church yaru
each morning and afternoon to
picket nonunion men on their way
to and from work.
Among the songs the miners sang
was one containing the line, I'm
on the winning side with Jesus, and
another with Wen get you, bye

Judge Langham explained to the
committea that these constituted
hostile demonstration"
Aren't these injunctions pretty

Of New York.
Yes, | guess 90" replied the
Judge, 'but we issued the injunc-

InjunctiOns Against Hymns
No hearings have been held on
the injunctions, although they were
issued last August
''I think its mighty funny that
the strikers aren't pressing Tor q

TIGHTENING RACE IN IL.
BY the Associated Press.

tn HUS far the first East-West
series has served to bear out
preseason predictions that the
Il National League race of 1923
would develop into a free-for-
all battle involving six or more Of the
eight clubs.
The New York Giants and Brooklyn
Robins went into the West with firm
hold on first and second place, respec-'
lively, chiefly because of cut-throat
competition among the Western teams.
Today the Giants were still In first
place, although sitting far from COM
fortably there. and the Dodgers had
dropped to the fourth rung. Chicago,
In sixth place, was only a game and
half behind the league leaders.
All four Eastern clubs were beaten
yesterday.
The Giants invaded Forbes Field and
dropped a 6-to-5 decision to DOME
Bushs Pittsburgh Pirates. Burleigh
Grimes, traded by the Giants for Vic
Aldridge during the Winter, chalked
up his fourth victory in six starts,
tanning seven men. Aldridge has yet
to pitch for the clan McGraw. Dutch
Henry was on the mound for the Giants
and might have carried the verdict but
had bad day at third base. making
two costly errors George Crantham
stole home in the second inning.
The Cincinnati Reds took advantage
of Ed Brandt's wiIdness to score
7-to-2 win over the Boston Braves.
The Reds tailed four runs In the sixth
on two hits and FIVE passes Hughie
Critz had a busy day, making three
hits, one homer, and handling eight
chances In the field without a bobble.
The Cubs ran their winning streak
to four games by turning back the

n YEW YORK, May P),--It's a
big season so far for ambitious
NJ youth in the major leagues and
4 the Cleveland Indians, under
new management and reJuVe-
mated by a good share of this new tall
ent, have started something that they
hope to be able TO finish.
"The way these youngsters, such as
Lind at second base. Langford in CEN
ter. Hodapp at third and others, have
come. through so far, along with some
great pitching has kept us up IN the
race" says Rogsr Peckinpaugh, the

Cleveland as high as fourth.
The opening victory of the Indians

Uhie outpitching Herb Pennock and
breaking the latter's winning streak,
probably will do the morale of the club
more good than anything that has hap
pened so far. The team sipirt under
Peck has been high anyway, but 1t will
be higher.
The Indians have been more or less
poison as whole to the Yankees over
the past few seasons and Uhle has been
particularly so individually. The vet
eran pitcher has lost only one game TO
the New Workers In the past two years
and his latest victory is his ninth in
that period over them
