Anti-LabOr Law Would Hit Bosses
Oakland Strike Shows How Scheme of Senator Ball
 Could Boomerang

Oakland, Calif., Dec. 11-A two- day general strike of A. F. of L. unions-called in protest against police "strikebreaking" tactics ended this week in sweeping vic- tory for labor.s The Police Depart ment agreed it would no longer at- tack picket lines nor escort pro- fessional StrikebreakerS.
 Even more interesting, however, were some of the facts behind the dispute. The A. F. of L. Retail Clerks Union had been picketing two big department stores which refused to recognize the union, though it had signed up a majority of the employees.
 Bosses Have Own 'UniOn"
 Why not? Because the bosses had their own "union"-an associa- tion of department stores-and had competed not to deal with the Clerks union or any other, unless and until a majority of workers in all the stores had been organized.
 Thus, here was group of bosses insisting upon area-wide bargain ing, or none at all, at the very time when, in and out of Congress, foes of labor - in particular the light headed Minnesota statesman, Sena- tor Little Joe" Ball-are clamor- ing for legislation to outlaw any bargaining that takes in more than one employer in an industry.
 All of which goes to show that a law aimed at labor can be two- edged and boomerang against en- ployers.

Racing down the stretch, the St. Louis Cardinals are trying to ex- plode the theory that the team in first place on July 4 usually wins the pennant.
 On that day the Cards were trail- ing the National League leading Brccklyn Dodgers by seven and a half games and appeared hopelessly out of the rate, Today they are 9 l-2 games in front of the flock.

 The victory moved the Cubs only six games bebind the Dodgers.
 Detroit which hadn't won a game at Fenway Park until We'd nesday, made it two straight over the Boston Red Sox, 9-8, in If innings. The winning run resulted on George Kell's walk, a single by Roger Cramer and a force play by Hank Greenberg. Dizzy Trout, in re- lief, won his 11th game while Dave (Roo) Ferriss. trying for his 18th straight, was driven from the box ill the sixth.
 The Yankees clinched the sea- son series with Cleveland on a 9-1 victory in New York behind the nine-hit pitching of Randy Gum pert
