Tnnx,s Team Triumphs

The initial baseball game of the season at the Washington Park dia- mond ended last night in a triumph for Tony the Barber over his old arch rival, Pinky Sheehan, by 8 score of GA. Tony insisted that the score was higher but in view of his expulson from the game by Nick wilcox, his statement could not be credited. He claimed the actual score was 16-4.
 No scorekeeper could have ac- counted for all the twirlers that toed the mound for each team. The starters were Bob Sheehan for the Tonsorialist, and Pinky Sheehan for his own team.

washington or by Gov. Matrln l..
Davey of Ohio was regarded TO-
day as the most expedient means
of achieving a quick settlement OF
the c. I. o. strike against three
adamant independent steel COM
panies in five Great Lakes States.
More than 10000 men were mo-
bilized for picketing duty in the
Mahoning valley here today as an
estimated 10000 or more remained
idle in other States in the first
great steel strike since 1919.
Meanwhile, other Independents
maintained wary eye on the walk
out. fearing the strike may spread
from Republic Steel, Youngstown
Sheet and Tube and Inland Steel
to their plants. Indications were,
however. that steel union leaders
we're disposed to keep the strike
within its present limits before
turning attention to other COM
panies.
Violence Sporadic
Sporadic violence continued in
the strike area today, although
no serious encounters were re-
ported.
1t was learned that labor Off
Gals in Washington were anxious
for a quick settlement OF the
strike. About $4,000 were idle in
Ohio. $4,000 in this section.
. Strengthening the report Of
Washington Intervention was the
arrival here of James L. Dewey,
the ace mediator of the United
States Department of Labor. Dewey
recently participated in settlement
of the brief Jones and Laughlin
Steel Corporation strike.
Contract Demanded
An official who refused to be
quoted said Philip Murray, chair
man of the c. I. O.'S Steel Workers
Organizing Committee, and Off
Gals of the strike-ridden steel COM
panies, were unable to decide on
tn mthod of opening negotiations.
. The C. I. o. seeks a contract
recognizing is at the collective bar
canning agent for its members in
the three companies or an election
with an exclusive bargaining con-
tract if it wins. The three indie
pendents assert this is but the
opening wedge for a closed shop
and the "check-off" Of union dues
and that under the Wagner act
they are not required to grant
written contracts.
