Schedule Pro- Brooklyn In Stretch Drive

New York, Sept. 10--CUP)-Be- cause the Brooklyn Dodgers have an old fashioned idea that it counts more to win ball games on dia- mond than on 8 sheet of paper, they still were 8 good bet today in their stretch battle with the St. Louis Cardinals for the National League pennant.
 The Cards already are the paper weight" champions without much argument as they open up their critical 12-game road trip tonight at Philadelphia, in which they in- wade five parks while the Dodgers, two games behind, are playing in the friendly confines of Ebbets field.
 The Cardinals are League leaders in seven important departments, while the Dodgers excel in only two and are last in two others.
 Cards Lead At Plate
 On paper, St. Louis is first in team batting with a .265 mark while Brooklyn is third with .262. The Cards are tops in team fielding at .979, the Dodgers are last with .971 figure.
 It takes hits to win ball games and the Cards lead the League with 1,202 to date as compared with 1,- 16T for the Dodgers who rank fourth in the latest official compilations.
 In the all-important runs-batted- in department, the Cardinals lead with 564 while the Dodgers are second f1iddlers with 536. The Cards are out front in runs scored with 616 as compared with 582 for the Dodgers, who again rank second.
 In home runs, the Cardinals rank third behind the Giants and Phil lies with 69 and the Dodgers are tied for sixth with AT, certainly not an impressive figure for club bat ting to get in the World Series. The Cards lead in doubles with 227, the Dodgers are tier for second with POI. The Dodgers are out in front on triples with 52 to 46 for the Cards and they have big margin in stolen bases with 95 to lead both leagues. The Cards, who once had reputation for running fast, are only fourth in the National with 48 swipes.
 Rockies Cause Errors
 Because rockies have manned key stations in the Dodger lineup sea- son long, 1t is no surprise that they have made. 150 errors, more than any other team in the majors except the Washington Senators, while the Cardinals are by far the surest f1elders in either circuit with anE 1O8 pebbles. The Cards are second in double plays with 142 and the Dodgers rank third with 135.
 By positions, the comparison isn't loo favorable for the Dodgers either, but they have a slight edge in out field hitting, though the Cardinal gardeners are more sure-footed. The Dodgers crew of Dixie Walker (.31D Joe Medwick (.33D, Peter Reiser (.290), Carl Furillo (.298), and Dick Whitman (.26D, has better con1- pesite 1902 average than the 265 mark of Cardinal outfielders Enos Slaughter (300), Harry Gittle Dfxie) Walker (.239), Dick Sisler (.25D and Terry Moore (.265).
 At first base, Stan Musial (.364), Is both an offensive and defensive standout over Dodger alternateS, Howie Schultz (.243) and Ed Stevens (.240) There is little to choose in the scrap drive" at sec- ond between spirited Eddie Stanky of the Dodgers (294, and Red Schoendienst (.296) of the Cards, two of the most hard-hghting play CTS in any league.

 News:
 Groton, Conn.
 Letter to the Editor:
 It seems mighty hard to get any space in the local daily paper that serves New London and its en- virons. And I should like to see if our local and labor bi-weekly will give me a little space to make a few comments. The workers in our area have to read this daily sheet and like 1t because there Is no oth- CT paper to read.
 I have been reading the VOICE in the daily News and find several people stating what a sheet they think the News is. This paper has the courage to print this even though the statements may reflect against their editorial policy. BUT if the readers of the News think they are reading - paper, they should read what we workers have to put up with here. Anything that the worker wants to have printed 1t seems that first of all his en- p1oyer must censor it. Everything we read in THIS PAPER IS AL WAYS IN FAVOR OF THE CAP ITALLSI9 There is never good word for the workers. If the people in general believe all they read in this daily sheet THE WORKERS ARE ALWAYS WRONG. believe that we are WRONG SOME OF THE TIME. If we weren't, this world would be a funny place in which to live. However. believe the local press should show our good points once in awhile! What would this local paper do if the workers, here and about, should boycott it, and stop reading it? Would their few monied readers make up the loss in advertising the paper would suffer, and the loss of circulation? People do not adver- tise to attract the rich mans buSi- ness, they advertise to attract the workers. It is the working man who keeps all business in opera ton. The factories, the stores, the morning and evening papers are all kept going by the workers. The worker not only builds and makes all goods manufactured but he al- so buys them as fast as he manu- factures them, so in closing would like to ask this local sheet to give us a little space part of the time. and to remember that we workers are their best customers and the best customers of their advertisers.

In it's statement on the Full En- ployment", bill the Social Action Department explains its approval by saying that the bill, though "timid" in the face of the threat of recurrence of unemployment, would organize the Federal Gov ernment better and would instruct governmental cooperation with private groups and the States. cities and counties so as better to handle the governmental part of the job of getting full employment"
 The provision of the Senate bill, which makes it mandatory upon the President and not merely per- mission to consult private groups and State and local government, is declared to be a great improve ment.
 "As for ourselves" the statement says, i've wish that Industry COun- cils would be set up in each indus try and federated, and with the the government helping them. work out the conditions of full output and full employment. Sooner or later. this proposal will come to the

front again. As 1t is, the bill lets things go and then, when there is failure. calls on the Federal Gov ernment to act. We should like something more basic."
 While not in favor of the bill as 'scure-alP' nor ''of its major em- phasis upon governmental action as a remedy for unorganized pri- vate failure" the Social Action De- partment recommends passage of the bill with the expectation that 1t will be amended later or sup plemented to meet the full needs"
 "One of the most discouraging signs of the times is the tendency to fan the flames of prejudice against workers because of their demands for increased wages. There are many people. who would like to deflate the wage earner but how they could do this and maintain a balanced economy is hard to see. Why should the farmer or the man. ufacturer be interested in deflat- ing the wage earner, who is their best customer? The difficulty is in getting people to take look at the wage earner's side of the pie ture. His so-called 'take-home' has been cut in half, and fewer mem berS of the family are working. He has been pretty well held down during the war. The wages of the individual wage earner, outside of his overtime pay and his bonuses, have not kept pace with the cost of living. It is not easy for a wage earner with a family to do his duty toward his wife and children with the wages he receives now on reg ular time.
 Almost everybody who has faced the situation fairly and squarely recognizes that important adjust ments must be made in wages. The lowest that anybody suggests is an increase of 15 per cent so that per- haps when we analyze the demands of labor organizations more ob- actively they will not seem too ex- treme after all AS for strikes, everybody who kept his ear to the ground expected them during this transition period"
 Bishop Shell. in accepting the

 Award, Nov. 28: "TO reduce the conflict between labor and man. agement merely to a question of wages is a dangerous Over-simpli- ficatiOn of a very complex prob lem. The issue is much deeper. Briefly the conflict marks labor's mature bid for a voice in the man. agement of industry, because la- Dor realizes that the policies of American industry intimately touch every aspect of American life"
 The right of labor to participate in management and decisions af- fecting industry were affirmed by the International Conference of Christian Syndicates, which met for the first time in five years, in Brussels.
 The Conference reaffirmed once more its profound attachment to the principle of free association and the right of workers to bargain collectively. As regards collabora- ton with other international work erS organizations, as well as with the worldwide Federation of Trade Unions, which recently met in Paris, the Conference declared itself ready to seek all possibilities of collaboration consistent with Christian aims and principles.
 Strong Catholic action is needed for solving the economic problems of particular concern to Negroes, who should be encouraged in de- veloping leadership and building up organizations for self-education.
 This conclusion Is part of a re- port on a meeting in Washington. sponsored by the Social Action Department of the N. c. W. c. The meeting was attended by repre- sentatives of both Negroes and Whites. The report, dealing with such vital problems as discrimin- ation in employment, the Wages Hours Bill, housing, discrimina- tiOn in union membership, and the work of Catholic organizations in overcoming injustices to Negroes, was adopted unanimously. It will be sent for consideration and criti- cism to Catholics active in this field throughout the United States.
 The rank and file of union men, because they are honest. should take a resolute stand against all dishonest and selfish leadership in their unions"
 Those men "who do not know basic principles" the Archbishop wrote, are either "unreasonably conservative and unwilling to make any change in their thinking in non-essential matters" thereby violating justice in their social and economic life, or "half informed or superficial persons who. desiring to be classified as liberals. take their place in the field of pink ol red radicalism without realizing the implications
 (N. B. It is the policy of the Sut to open it's columns to non-secta- rian labor thoughts from all ren. gious leaders. It is encouraging for us to see all faiths so labor minded, fighting shoulder-to. shoulder with us for the Four Freedoms of the Atlantic Charter )

MT. Rowland Bishop Editor, The Sub Groton, Connecticut March 2. 1946 Dear MT. Bishop:
 want to express my apprecia- tion to the editorial staff of The Sub for its strong support in my attempts to bring to the attention of the public the very un-democra- tic attitude of the House Un-Amert- can Activities Committee. I feel hat we have accomplished great deal in making people aware of the dangers inherent in such situation where loyal citizens may be libeled by men who enjoy Con- gressional immunity from any re- course by those attacked.
 am proud of the citizens of Groton who have supported my stand in this matter.
 Very truly yours,

 Dear Mir. Bishop:
 Starting April 1, the New Lon- don Branch of the Diocesan Labor Institute will begin series of lec- lures relative to the lafboring man and unions. We shall have as speakers such well known labor people as, Father Donnelly: Joseph Tone; Edna Purtell, and several others who will speak on subjects close to the hearts of all laborers. May I say that the purpose of our organization is to better the conditions of the laboring man. especially through strong Unions. and to bring about better relation ship between Management and La- bor. And this year, we feel positive that our speakers will help bring this about.
 Sincerely yours.
 Rev. John J. Finn P. S. Meetings will be held every Monday at BIS at 42 Jay Street. Won't you please bring this to the attention of union members? We shall be glad to have them with us.
