TIME FOR LABOR TO TAKE
 INVENTORY

Labor Day 1887 which falls on Monday finds American labor with ample cause for celebration In
 ,e last two or three years it has made more advance toward recognition than in the last quarter of a century It may be that the advance has been LOO rapid Not that improved working conditions for the average rank and file of American workmen can be attained too quickly but that in it's mushroom growth to recognition the all important question of responsibility may not have kept abreast Many are of the theory that it has not.
 Most of such deductions based on the split condition in which labor finds itself today after sudden labor consciousness the part of the whole nation. As the 1887 Labor Day dawns, the forces o laor in this country obviously divided into two definite camps One is the long established American Federation of Labor the other the Committee TOT Industrial organization-the former known as the craft union group, the latter the industrial union

 Thus with Labor Day rolling around again labor finds itself in midst of fight for power; fight which can if not accompanied by equitable degree of responsibility end in labor losing the very recogni- ton it has won with the support of the American people in the last few years.
 The labor holiday of 1887 is excellent time for
 labor leaders to do little serious thinking It is fine time for them consider how they put their houses in order that they will not lose the good feeling of the millions of Americans who not personally affiliated with labor organizations. Un- toward actions irresponsible subordnates wreck the very thing that labor seeks Some of the incl dents in the steel strike reflect that Even Leader Lewis occasion forced to repudiate the actions of his district organizers position in which he never would have found himself if the proper de- gree of responsibility had gone along with the fight for recognition. On several occasions the west coast the AFT, high command has found itself in much the same predcament sponsoring actions which it has approved through the years and approv ing them these latter occasions only with silence
 Labor has moved into a dominating position. To remain there it must accept the responsibility of that position. It must deal in the American manner honestly and above board It must rid itself of sub versve forces which will wreck it if permitted to rampant. Those forces probably not potent many alarmists would lead to believe but they are sufficiently strong to give labor black eye in the view the general public and labor as an or ganization, cannot afford to lose the good will of the millions of American and women who are sympathetic to it. believe sincerely in decent wages decent hours decent working conditions and high standard of American living.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12.-The

scheme to introduce legal betting

whether or not it would work.

elaborate office and wire system
to take bets for placement at the
pari-mutuel windows Of the Bay
Meadows track near San Fran

Lineane claims he will act solely
as an agent and believes his
scheme will be legal. Police have
their doubts.
His modus operandi is this:
He has a teletype placed in his
office, connected with a teletype
at the Bay Meadows track. He will
accept wagers from any bettor
and instruct his agent at Bay

regular window there. Full track
