The story of the entire Incl
dent Is this, and it certainly was
an incident that will long be re-
membered by both players and
fans who saw the situation
handled.
The score was tied, 3 to 3 when
the Browns came to bat in their
end of the seventh inning. It
began to rain as Catcher Roy
Spencer threw Fred Schultz,
Brown centerfielder, out at Sec
ond base with a throw to Buddy
Myer, for the second out Of the
inning.
The rain increased in volume
as Melillo stepped to bat, so
much in fact that Pitcher Irv-
ing Hadley could not grip the
ball firmly in making his deliv-
cries.
Umpire Is Deaf
An appeal to Umpire Nallin
was made to call time for the
usual half hour. He ignored it,.
Hadley pitched to Mellilo and
walked him. He pitched to Cos
lin and passed him.
BY this time the rain was so
heavy that Hadley's uniform
was soaked through. Still,
Umps Nallin would not call
time, probably because the en-.
tire roster of Griffmen voiced
their views regarding his stub
bOrnneSS.
He waved to Hadley to pitch
to Kress. Hadley threw and
Kress hit a wet single to left
scoring Melillo and putting Cos
lin on third.
Then came the customary half
hour wait. But it was a little
more than 30 minutes. All told it
was an hour and IS minutes he
cause Nallin, after the rain
ceased ordered the St. Louis
ground keepers to get sand on
the field to allow for more play.
The sand never made its ap
pearance. Nallin said nothing
for the whole period. He just
stood there with MCGOWAN and
OrmSby watch in hand.
Finally Calls Game
He had pulled a boner and was
trying to make it up with the
sand idea. The entire incident
was closed when he finally an
nounced that there would be no
more playing for the day.
Harry Rice is once more proving
his worth to the Griffmen. He is
delivering again after being in
serted in the game at an i'm
portant stage.
Harry went to right field at
the beginning of this st. Louis
series for two reasons. One, be-
cause Sam Rice was feeling the
intense heat, and, second, because
he could play the right field
position at the Browns park here
better than any player on the
Griff roster.
Yesterday he crashed through
with a single and a triple, the
latter hit driving in a run.
And in the two games he's
handled everything that has
come his way In excellent
fashion.

CLEVELAND LOSES
ANOTHER MEET

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Cleve-
land, Ohio, has lost another conven-
tion because of the long lockout of
union walters and mattresses by the
big Cleveland hotels. The National
Conference of Catholic Churches is
the latest organization to decide not
to meet in Cleveland. Previously the
Moose, Railroad Trainmen and other
organizations had decided against
meeting in Cleveland because of the
hostility of the hotels to organized
labor.
William L. Igoe, president of the
National Conference, a former mem
Der of congress, announced here that
Wilkes Barre, Pa, has been selected
instead as the cony ention city.
1t was explained at national head
quarters here that all hotels in Cleve-
land, except one, are concerned in a
lockout over the refusal of the Hotel
Mems Association to renew a con

PHILADELPHIA TO

City Council, Told Worst of
Depression is to Come,
Approves Big Unemploy-
ment Relief Loan.

Philadelphia (ILNS) - The city
council at its last session passed an
ordinance providing for a $3,000,00C
loan for the relief of the unemployed
using for this purpose the additional
emergency municipal borrowing ca
pacity recently authorized.
In the discussion of methods of dis
bursting the funds thus to be secured
it was proposed to turn the entire
matter of disbursements of all such
funds over to Horatio g. Lloyd
giving him special appointment in
the department of public welfare. Mr.
Lloyd agreed to this, with the pro-
viso that he be given full control OF
all disbursements.
On being asked whether this sum
of $3,0O0,O0 would be sufficient to
carry through the situation until
January, 1882, Mr.. Lloyd said that he
would undertake to see that it did So
if he could have full charge of its dis
bursement. He stated that the funds
used in May amounted to $490,O00
Councilman Hall told the city coun-
Gil that the worst period of the de-
preston and of unemployment is still
to come, and that the peak will not
be passed until next January.

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
BUILT WITHOUT TAXES

Madison, Wisconsin's ortho.
pedic hospital for children has been
dedicated. 1t cost the taxpayers
nothing.
Some years ago the state of Wis
consin established a fire insurance
fund to insure public buildings owned
by villages, towns, cities, counties,
and the state. At first the state
charged premiums 25 per cent less
than the private insurance companies
The surplus accumulated so rapidly
the rate was cut SO that the premium
was but 65 per cent of the rate charg-
ed by private concerns.
Out of the surplus the state built
new office building to house the
fund, and has now drawn on the sur
plus to build the state children's hos
pital. The hospital cost $300,000.

De Russeys lane may be a byword

Four girl strikers from the Fox

ing market conditions afford OBJ
viously, such plan and such a policy
would tend to restore confidence and
buying morale. The worker assured
of work security would Immediately
extend his buying power to its maxi
mum limit. When the fear of losing
work is removed the buying power of
the worker is increased and exercised.
He will not only use his buying power
as represented by his pay earnings,
but he will also utilize all available
credit facilities in order to satisfy,
so far as possible, his material and So
cial needs.
"'The development and active use of
the buying power of this great group
of employed workers would have an
electrifying effect. 1t would influence
those who are able to buy but who
refuse to buy Through such proc
ess the market would be stimulated so
that gradually at least large por-
ton of the millions who are now un-
employed would be given work. 1t
would be dramatic in it's consequences
and powerful in its results.
with this effort put forth by the
management of private industry and
private enterprise, supplemented by a
speeding-up of the public building and
construction program, as authorized
by congress, improvement in the in
dustrial situation ought to be quite
noticeable within reasonable length

New Brunswick, N. J. (ILNS)-Ad-

nomic Conference held here under
Rutgers University auspices, Presi-

Federation of Labor, declared that job
security should be a first aim of in

First of ALL" he said, "those who
are employed should be given assur-
ance that their services would not be
dispensed with, that they would re-
main secure in the possession of their
work. This security can be assured
by the management of industry. A
public work policy could be formu-
lated and announced, through which
those now employed could be guaran-
teed share of all work available.
This would mean that instead of dis
charging workers management should
arrange the work-week and the num-
Der of hours worked per day SO as to
give each worker now employed an
equal share of all work available.
The announcement of this policy
should be supplemented by further
announcement that as rapidly as pos
sible those who are idle would be re-
employed.

New York City (ILNS)-A great
be summoned within the very near
future to attempt to work out a
democratic structure for the stabiliZa-
tion of industry through creation of
balanced operations, if a proposal
offered by Matthew Woll is accepted.
Woll, vice president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, president
of the Union Labor Life Insurance
Company, and president of Interna
tional Labor News Service, has pre-
sented his suggestion to James w.
Gerard, former U. S. ambassador to
Germany; and Judge Gerard has in
turn transmitted the suggestion, with
a tentative invitation, to representa-
tives of industrial groups throughout
the United States.
The purpose of Mr.. Woll's sugges-
ton is not that an industrial confer
ence be held, but that there be a
congress of Representatives of organ
izations which, taken as a whole, con-
stitute the already organized group
ngs within industry, including labor,
management, finance and every
agency that plays an actually useful
or necessary part in the business of
manufacture and distribution.
1t is believed that such a congress
has never been suggested and that if
there is a sufficient response to the
tentative invitation to warrant def
mite invitation, congress unique III
world history will be held.
Judge Gerard chairman of the
commission on industrial inquiry of
the National Civic Federation, and
the formal invitation, when ed,will
be issued in the name of that organ
ization. of which Mr.. Woll is acting
president. and which offers a meet
ing ground for employers and wage
earners.
Throughout the letters forwarded
by Mr.. Woll and Judge Gerard, en-
phasis is placed on the fact that the
aim is to bring together represen-
tative congress for the purpose of
bringing into being, if possible, the
foundation at least of democratic
ally operating structure in the indus
try, for the making of industrial de-
cisions through legislative machin-
cry. 1t is purely an extension of the
democratic principle into industry in
wider range and with a deeper
thrust than has ever before been at
tempted.
Judge Gerard terms Mr.. Woll's pro-
posal "of vast and vital consequence.
He informs Representatives of en-
ployers that what is wanted is "a
great conclave of delegates, not a
mere COLLECTION of individuals without
representative character"
Proposal May Change Whole Course

AIR MAIL COST UP

Washington.-The government cost
of air mail increased from $765,549
in 1926 to S20,0i5,969 in 1880.
These air lines, last year, also re-
ceived an additional $5,761, ,151 from
passengers and express carried.
This expenditure, together with the
millions of dollars given to shipown-
ers as mail subsidies, are two major
causes for the post office deficit.

FEDERAL BOND ISSUE
HEAVILY OVERBOUGHT

Washington.-The treasury's offer
ing of $8Oo,Ooo,Ooo bonds to partly
meet a billion-dollar deficit, has been
oversubscribed sevenfold.
More than Sc, 100000 in bids
were received when the bids were
closed. The bonds will bear 31s per
cent. They are exempt from state
and national taxes, except inherit
ance taxes.
The bond issue will be pro-rated
among applicants, who are the coun-
try's largest bankers. The excessive
bids indicate the large amount of idle
capital in the country.
