KRAKKY WH|FFS
''EM over, BELTS
THE BALL., TOO
BY KIRK MILLER

Joe KrakauSkaS' fast ball was
a bit too much for the Champion
New York Yankees, who Jared
very poorly in the matter of hits
when they were held to seven by
the comparative rookie Southpaw
and defeated, 6 to 3, in the bar
gain.
Krakauskas added to his splen-
did pitching exhibition by driving
in a run, scoring two, getting two
hits, as well as a pair of bases on
balls. All in all, it was quite an
afternoon for "Krakky," who had
the 10000 Sabbath fans with him
all afternoon.
WHITES EIGHT
Eight of the Yankees, no less,
struckout before Joe's speed ball
and but two Of them got free trans
portation to first base. Only Gro
Setti and DiMaggio failed to fan
at least once.
But once was Joe in the slightest
difficulty, it being in the sixth
inning when Crosetti and Rolfe
got consecutive singles, to be
scored a moment later when Hoag
sent a terrific triple zooming to
center field.
Spurgeon Chandler was touched
for 10 hits, often punched, and
four bases on balls by the greedy
Mats.
Washington went to work on
Spurgeon as early as the third
inning. Three hits and four runs
were manufactured at his expense.
BLUEGE STARTS RALLY
Oswald Bluege, faithful OF
Ossie, began it with a single to
left. Giuliani got to first on Gro
setti's error and Joe Krakauskas
walked to fill the bases.
Bluege and Giuliani scored when
Taft Wright drove a hard-hlt
single through the box and out
into center field. KrakauSkas and
Wright were moved along when
Lewis sacrificed and Travis walked
to again jam the traffic.
Krakauskas scored when Bonura
flied to right and Wright counted
on Simmons single to right.
Bluege started the ball rolling
again in the fourth. OSSie singled,
Giuliani sacrificed and Krakaus-
kas singled to score the fifth
Washington run. In the sixth 1t
was KrakauskaS' walk, WrlghtS
grounder ana a single to center by
Buddy Lewis that created Wash
ington's sixth and final run.
The Yankees scored their last
run on a walk by Crosetti and
singles by Rolfe and DiMaggio.

standpoint of all business.
Retail trade has been extremely
good; building has caught up with
the needs and demands of those de-
string homes or apartments. and our
banking institutions are in strong and
healthy condition. with ample funds
available with which to meet any
legitimate credit needs of the COM
munity.
AS to the outlook for business in
Washington for the year 1888, retail
trade should continue to be good, al
though in all proba bility there will
be a reduction in building activity
unless a further demand for addi-
tional housing units should develop,
the Washington financier commented.
Speaking Of the Nation as a whole,
despite the sharp recession in business
activity which occurred in the last
quarter of 1887, there are many fac
tors which lend encouragement to the
thought that this recession may not
be OF long duration.
There are indications that a clearer
understanding Of the various issues
confronting the Nation is being
gained on all sides. In my judgment,
it is imperative that there be a united
effort between Government and labor.
with business management to under
stand and harmonic their respective
differences, in order to insure a prompt
return to normal business activity.

accounts for the biggest year for the
labor movement, between August,
1895. and August, 1887, of any of its
history. Faced with the prospects of
depression with many of its gains
yet unconsolidated, both the c. l. O.
and A. F. Of L. are now struggling to
hold members and maintain and re-
new contracts with management. The
necessities of the situation are forcing
q genuine attempt to close the rift
dividing the industrial unionists under
John L. Lewis and the Federation
under William Green.
Rank and file members have long
hoped for the end of dual unionism." !"
If the issue were merely one of con-
tending personalities. it would have
been settled long ago. But the differ
ences are fundamental. the schism is
traceable deep into tn past of the
American labor movement and spreads
widely across 1t today. At least
surface patching up of labor's intra-
mural quarrel is imminent, however,
and even this sort Of armistice will
benefit all interests
"Sft Down" Wave Over.
Not again, probably, shall we see
such wave of sit downs" as was
witnessed during the first half of
1887. Public opinion generally is
reused against the unions using It,
AS a weapon for labor it boomerangs
If the strike Is drawn out. Its ef-
fectiveness Is obvious, however, In
mass production plants, where one
department or even a portion of one
department can halt momentarily the
whole production stream. In consol-
idating their position it will be the
policy Of union leaders to stamp out
these sporadic, unauthorized STOP
pages.
The passage Of a Federal wage and
hour bill will not affect Importantly
the course Of the labor movement.
Neither Is 1t probable that during this
administrations tenure will law re-
quiring the Incorporation Of labor
unions be passed. All union organiza-
tions would fight such q measure
tooth and nail, on the ground that
judicial Interpretation has not caught
up with modern industrial exigencies,
and that unfair judgments would
bankrupt them.

the lessened activity of former years
and the enormous increase in popu-
lation during later days, Mr.. Bishop
explained
The building and loan associations
comprising the District league, with
out exception, made loans to home
owners and home builders far in ex-
cess of those made in former years and
were able to take care of all reason
able applications for loans which were
received.
Growth Provides Demand.
The normal growth of the District
of Columbia provides a demand for
homes which must be met, and the
coming year will undoubtedly show
continued advance in the develop
ment of home ownership, the league
president asserted.
Legislation is not needed to ac-
complish this, but rather the assur-
ance OF cooperation on the part Of
both lender and borrower. that will
instill greater confidence in the future.
In loaning more than s31 100000 in
1887, member associations in the Dis
trict of Columbia Building and Loan
League thus encouraged home owner
ship and at all times were and now
are able, anxious and ready to help.
Ample Funds Are Available.
Mr. Bishop is highly optimistic on
the Washington building and loan
outlook for 1898. In forward glance
he said in conclusion:
Our associations have funds, prac-
tically unlimited in amount, avail
able to meet the needs for refinancing
or the construction of homes for our
increasing population. Home owner
ship is the foundation for our exist
ence
I'VE are looking toward the coming

tional prosperity in 1888 One element
alone requires additional bulwarking,
and that Is confidence This conf
dence must be stimulated by assur-
ance that sound, progressive and con-
structive business, industrial and
financial enterprises will not suffer
unjustifiable harassment The fact
that some relief may already be on
the way should be encouraging, he
said.
Huge Sums Paid in 1887.
During the past year the insurance
business did its part in the distribu-
ton of accumulated wealth. The legal
reserve life insurance companies dis
tributed over 100000. OF this
amount, almost a billion was dis
triouted in death claims and billion
and a half to living policyholders.
At the same time the combined COM
panies were called upon to find in
vestment for more than $4,000. .000, 900
in excess income over disbursements
Total income exceeded $4,000, 900 900,
he stated.
These companies during the year
placed approximately $4,000. 900 900
in new business, this being the best
record since 1881 and an increase of
| $700,000,00 over 1886. Mr.. Mont
gomery said life insurance in force
now totals $4,000, ,Oo00 900. an aver
age Of 81 700 for each of the 81, 900 900
policyholders, the figures showing the
part insurance plays in the Nations
economic life.
In conclusion, Mr.. Montgomery said
that in the activities of the life insur-
ance business the Acacia Mutual
played we'll its part. The past year
in all respects was the best in the
history of the company.

LIFE INSURANCE
AT A[L-T|ME PEAK
Production of New Policies
in 1887 Tops Previous
Mark by 5 Per Cent.
BY Ca mbridge Associates.

BY CAMBRIDGE Associates.
Sales Of new life insurance in 1887
will run approximately S per cent
ahead of the total production of 1896
and the year end finds nearly 64,-
000,00 Americans holding policies
with an aggregate face value of sllO,-
900 200, 900.
More people own insurance and a
greater dollar volume of insurance is
in force than ever before, following
steady gains in new business every
year since 1888.
Even SO, some insurance men raised
the question why the volume of new
insurance was not increasing as rap
idly as the volume of savings and
other investments. Pointing out that
during the first six months of 1887
new insurance increased only 6.6 per
cent, in comparison with 90 per
cent gain for investment trusts and
25 per cent increase in savings and
loan association depositors, they ex-
pressed concern that life insurance
might lose ground as the Nations most
popular investment medium.
Such fears seem hardly legitimate.
The volume Of insurance in force suf-
fered relatively little diminution, COM
pared with other savings media during
the depression years. Naturally, re-
covery percentages cannot be so i'm
pressive. The steady, more gradual
increase in total life insurance out
standing also better fosters the con-
ception Of life insurance as a stabiliz-
ing influence in the American economy
than would sharp year-to-year fluc-
tuations in new business. The stock
markets of September and October
brought swift evidence of the wisdom
OF the conservative principles which
the major life insurance companies
had consistently followed. all the vio-
lent discussion Of imitation hedges"
to the contrary.

uI CS 1IOlll tAS
Spectator disclose that 6 sac per cent
of the city's per capita income during
1886 was paid out in life insurance
premiums.
In reviewing national conditions,
Mr., Primm stated that since 1929
American life insurance companies
have paid to policyholders and bene-
ficiaries more than $2l ,000, ,000, 900
enough, for example, to provide an
income of SITS month for over mil
lion families for 10 years.
In 1887 alone, the amount paid
out was $2,400, ,000, ,000-and, upsetting
the old idea that you have to die to
win," 81 ,450, ,O0O, 900 (more than 60 per
cent of the total paid out in this
Year,. went to living policyholders.
$4,000, 900 Policies in Force.
The significance Of these vast
amounts is made even more interesting
when we see that In the five and one
half years ended August 13, 1887, the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. dis
bursed loans and other authorizations
totaling $6,558, $50, ,263-only one-third
as much as the life insurance pay
ments-of which $4,77l 1921 TAB, or 72.7
per cent has been repaid.
The ever-increasing scope Of Amer
lean life insurance is today more than
ever being impressed on the public.
When it is considered that more than
81, 1000, 900 Americans own over l23,-
900 900 policies, it can be seen how in
extricably life insurance is tied up
with the financial life of the Nation.
In 1886. for example, $3,673,O53, ,438-
or SO per cent of the national income
of $62,056, ,OO0,00 in that year-was
paid in life insurance premiums.
The most optimistic portend for the
future OF life insurance is the steady
and consistent growth that it has un-
dergone since 1900 growth not
stopped even by the depression.
D. C. Association Honored.
The District Of Columbia Life Un-
derwriters Association has maintained
a steady and healthy growth. During
the last year 100 per cent member
ship awards were presented to II
local agencies. These were awards Of
the national association in recogni-
ton of the fact that every agent
connected with the agency was 8
member in good standing in the Dis.
trict of Columbia Association and had
pledged himself to maintain and sup
port the District Of Columbia laws
governing the sale Of life insurance
and the high ethical standards pre-
scribed by the association for the ben
eft Of the insuring public.

ROME PRESS COOL
TOBOMBP PROTEST
Butler Proposal of Probe
Also Received Without
Sympathy.
By JAMES M. MINIFEE.

New York Herald Tribune Correspondent.
ROME, June 4-American concern
over the air bombardment of civilians
was received coldly here today. as the
press gave prominence to the latest
bombardments of Tarragona by 20
Italian airplanes.
Equally unsympathetic has been the
reception accorded to the suggestion
made by Mr.. Richard A. Butler,
British undersecretary for foreign af-
fairs, in the House of Commons that
an independent commission be ap-
pointed to investigate on the spot the
effects of the aerial bombardments.
As the bombardments of the Spanish
east coast towns are for the most part
carried out by Italian planes, based on
Majorca. the lack of sympathy here
is understandable.
Subject Believed Broached.
1t is not unlikely that this matter
was brought UP by Lord Perth, British
Ambassador, in q short conversation
with Count Galeazzo Ciano last night,
although neither British nor Italians
would indicate the subject of the talk.
1t may be surmised that Count
Ciano did not encourage the British
governments idea that Italians are
alive to increasing world condemna-
ton OF indiscriminate bombardments
from the air. Great care is taken to-
day to stress that the airplanes dropped
their bombs very precisely on ware
houses, ships carrying contraband
which were being unloaded and on
railroad equipment on the quays."
This statement ignores the difficulty
OF identifying ship cargoes from the
air and overestimates the accuracy
with which bombs can be confined to a
given area.
Victory Now in Sight.
As they believe the victory of Cen
eralissimo Francisco Frances forces
for which they have striven so long ia
now in sight, the Fascist leaders are
highly unlikely to pay any heed to
pleas for what is termed here the
"so-called humanization" Of the war
in Spain.
Still less is n Duce likely to en-
courage attempts which appear to be
under way In London to bring about q
truce in Spain. Signor Mussolini has
never concealed his desire that Franco
should win, nor his determination to
assist that victory by every means
which he feels can be safely used. A
truce now might rob him Of the
prestige Of victory, which Is felt to be
almost within his grasp.
