NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-PSychol-
ogy may play an important part
in the second game of the "orld
Series today.
Cliff Melton, six-foot four-inch
southpaw, is slated to pitch for
the Giants, and the Yankees, vic.
tors, 8 to /, in the first game, re-
portedly are planning to ride"
him. And how!
It seems Mr.. Melton has large
ears.
"The largest ears in baseball"
according to Ken Smith, New
York BASEBALL writer who has
travelled with the Giants.
Now, large ears are all right.
They're a sign of generosity.
CThey say, incidentally, that Mel
ton is a fine, generous fellow and
one of the best.liked men on the
Giant ball club But the Yanks
know him-they had him once
and the lowdown is that they are
going to do a bit Of chirping
about those ears from the dugout.
IGNORE TACTICS
Giant followers scott at the
idea. They say Melton would ig-
more, or laugh off, such tactics,
pointing out that he's been
through the mill this year and has
proved himself one of the most
courageous pitchers under fire
that has ever walked to the
mound.
Riding Melton won't work."
predicted Al Schacht, one OF the
greatest third base coaches in
baseball history. schacht coached
the Washington Senators for IL
years, 1924 to 1884. inclusive, and
the Boston Red Sox for two years,
1895 and 1886.
Schacht said "some pitchers put
more on the ball when you heckle
them from the sidelines."
Il don't think they'll get Melton
that way" he continued. 'They
may try calling him big ears
but it's my hunch it will be no
go. He's been in there in too
many tight games for the Giants,
and he's come through. They may
try riding Melton for an inning or
two, but it's my guess they'll have
to give it up as a bad job"
CAREY SKEPTICAL
Max Carey, a student of base
ball psychology and a former big
league manager and one-time star
outfielder, tuSh-tushed the idea
the Yanks can get Melton's goat"
and cause him to blow the ball
game. He was skeptical that the
Yanks would even try it.
art Fletcher, you know, will be
on the third-baSe coaching line
for the Yanks," said Carey. ITO
my mind it would be unsportSman-
ship to ride Melton. Besides it's
against the rules to do it from
the third-base lines. I have known
Fletcher during Is years of base
ball and I think he's above such
tactics. I say he won't heckle
Melton at ALL"
Melton is described by baseball
writer's who travelled with the
Giants this year as a good-natured,
naive sort of a fellow hRiling from
Black Mountain, He was
discovered" by Dan Hill, presi-
dent of the Piedmont League
when the latter was manager of
the ASheville IN. c. ball club.
He was tried out with the New
York Yankees in the spring of
1884, but let go. The Giants got
him from Baltimore.

Strike For Closed Shop
Upheld by n. j. Court

Newark, n. ]. (AFLNs)-The le-
gality Of strike to uphold or enforce
a closed shop" union contract with
employers has again been determined.
Vice Chancellor Bigelow, after
hearing both sides, refused to restrain
members of Local Union No. al, Metal
Polishers', Buffers and Electro-Plat-
ers' Union. from picketing the Four
Plating Company.
This decision follows an adverse de
cision in different case by Vice Chan
cellor Berry There is wide interest in
the subject among many unions and
labor regards the latest Lewiston as an
important victory Vice Chancellor
Bigelow's decision held that strike
for closed shop which did not aim
to create monopoly of labor" and
peaceful picketing were both legal as
protective measure"

tion authorizing controlled sit-down
strikes" The delegates were told the
resolution would make law violators
of organizers in states where sit
downs are prohibited and the conven-
ton defeated the resolution by an
overwhelming vote. Other CIO un-
ions, which put the "sit-down' in the
limelight last spring, are now discour-
aging it. Some, as in the textile and
clothing fields, have never used it.
The A. F. of L. pointed out that
sit-down strikes aroused strong pub
lie hostility to labor and threatened
a wave of restrictive action and leg
islation aimed at labor's rights. Now
the 'sit-downers" themselves are real
izing the same thing and sound
thought on the subject is prevailing.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 5, 1897
LABOR READY TO HELP

Speaking before a Washington
meeting Of the American Federation
of Housing Authorizes, Catherine
Bauer urged those in charge of public
housing programs to keep in close
touch with the public and particularly
with organized labor.
4 have Just one piece Of general
advice to Offer said Miss Bauer, who
Is executive secretary Of the labor
housing conference. Don't be like
some Of the early New Deal planners,
with capital P. Don't act as if the
way to solve the housing program is
for two or three people, experts to
sit in a closed conditioned room
and figure it all out. It just can't be
done that way.
Particularly on this score / would
urge you to cooperate with and secure
the cooperation of the local organ
lied labor groups in developing a
housing program
Miss Bauer's advice is sound and
housing authorities will find it help
ful to follow it. Labor is vitally inter
ested in better housing. 1t gave united
support to the Wagner housing bill 1t
wants to see the Wagner act work,
and will do its best to bring this about
Through central labor bodies and la
Dor housing committees, it is ready and
eager to help and its cooperation can
be q powerful factor in the success
Of public housing programs.

FORTY YEARS OF
SERVICE TO LABOR
(From the National Printer
Journalist)

Forty years of service to labor was
marked June II by R. E. Woodmansee,
editor and publisher of the Illinois
Tradesman, who on that date issued
a 20-page special edition of the off
cial publication of the Springfield, H.,
Federation of Labor in commemmora-
ton of the newspapers anniversary.
Mr.. Woodmansee, who has had the
continual endorsement of the Spring
field Federation of Labor since he
became publisher of the Tradesman,
has seen and been instrumental in the
growth of the central body of the la
Dor organization from Ia affiliate
groups in 1897 to the present more
than so affiliate local unions. His is
reputed to be the only labor newspa
per in the United States which can
claim the continued endorsement OF
organized labor for such period.
Mr.. Woodmansee is at present and
has for 26 consecutive years been sec.
retary of the International Labor
Press of America. He is also president
Of the Springfield Board of Educa.

board for 25 years.

Police Urged to Make
JObless Pick Cotton

Greenville, S. c. (AFLNS)- Pay
ment of low wages for cotton pickers
is finding more widespread resistance
on the part of workers in many sec
tions Of the South, resulting in many
old reports of attempts to coerce
workers in a manner akin to old slav-
cry days.
An example Of this occurred here,
when forty Greenville county cotton
growers demanded that police officers
round up unemployed able-bodied men
and prosecute them for vagrancy if
they refused contemplating jobs. Sher-
iff Martin and Detective Chief Ham
mond were reported to have pledged
"co-operation." 1t is stated the cot
ton growers, with 10000 bales Of cot
ton standing in the open fields ready
to be picked" and with insufficient
help to harvest it, did consent to pay
SO cents hundred pounds to the pick
ers. A few indicated they might pay
little more. The price of cotton is
holding up so well that the federal
government is making loans to cotton
growers at SO hundred pounds.
