Australian Labor Law
Effective, Envoy Tells
Women S Bar Group

Sir Frederic W. Eggleston, Aus
tralian Minister, advised the United
States last night to take look at
the "successfuln industrial disputes
law of Australia before passing anti
strike legislation.
Speaking at the 29th annual din
ner of the Women's Bar Association
OF the District at the Mayfiower
Hotel, he said the industrial law of
Australia has withstood the test
of time.
Sir Frederic explained that it
permits either labor or manage
ment to summon the other party into
a Federal arbitration court. The
decision Of the court is binding, and
1t has the right to set penalties. The
government, he added, has broad
powers to prescribe reasonable con-
ditions for the settlement of a dis
pute but 1t cannot demand arbi-
tration.
Urges Support Of Reforms.
When asked if he believed the
system would solve industrial strife
in this country, Sir Frederic laughed
and skated of diplomatic thin ice
by saying: "You people are too
tough" The one difficulty in en-
forcement noted by the speaker
was that backlog of cases tends
to pile up before the courts.
The Australian appealed to the
women lawyers constantly to sup
port reforms in the law so that it
develops with the changing social
and economic pattern.
Never accept the law as it.
stands" he declared. 81 feel that the
development of the law has halted
because it has become too self-con-
scious. When we decide there Is
some sanctity about established law,
1t no longer is giving the people
what they need"
Associations Largest Dinner.
He urged the profession to work
for IAN efficient system of law, which
is really social and economic serv-
ice to the community" The law.
he explained, should state the norms
OF a community in a clear, scientific
and legal way.
Mrs. Sera Nero Williams, associa-
ton president, expressed confidence
that professional women will retain
their war gains and continue to
progress 80 long as they contribute. n

est in the history of the association,

 Slaughter, Hero
 When they get around to picking out the hero of the series they probably will settle on Slaughter who hit 320, tied a record with four hits on Boston and took care of the final victory despite a pain fully swollen right elbow that al most forced him out ol the lineup for the last two games.
 Brecheen with his three wins and Harry Walker, a 237 bust" in the regular season but a leading .4l2 slugger in the series, rate right up there with Slaughter.
 Pesky Is Goat
 Peslly probably will wear the goats horns because he committed four of his teams 10 errors. hit only 233 and cost the Sox the final game by his moment of hesitation in relaying Culberson's peg to the plate.
 There are plenty of candidates fer the dunce's stool with Williams among the leaders. The lean slug ger who hit .342 for the Sox against American League pitching, was held to five singles and a measly 200 mark by a combination of the Birds heady pitching and the var ious versions of the Dyer shift" :" Although the shift probably was most effective as a psychological weapon, the St. Louis pitchers cer- tainly had the correct book on Ted's weaknesses.

LEY JACK HAND


 ST LOUIS, Oct. l6 - The Gas House Gang spirit still lives in the world champion St Louis Cardinals who have stolen the 1946 series from the favored Boston Red Sox on the; sheer hustle" of Enos Slaughter,
 If the 30-year- old veteran of the 42 Giant killers hadn't rounded third base like a runaway colt while shcrtstop Johnny Pesky hesitated enc second too long, the 43rd clas- sic might be going yet. The score was tied at 3-3 in the eighth inning of yesterdays deci- sive seventh game and the full pressure Of haseball's 18th million dollar series was riding heavy on every pitch when Slaughter made his wild tour of the sacks.
 Harry Walker lined a base hit into left center and "Eno" catapult- cd eff first base, rounded second and headed for third while Leon Culbersch retrieved the ball and made a quick relay to shortstop Pesky
 Made Dash
 Making the full sweep at third while coach Mike Gonzales Tapped the come-cn sign like an excited mother hen, Slaughter lit out for the plate. Pesky, apparently not expecting that sort of daring base running, had dropped his arm half way. watching Walker run to- ward second, before he realized Slaughter was hot-footing home with the tie-breaking run His peg to Roy Partee was too late as Slaughter topped off his magnifi- cent heads-up running with a fine slide that scored a run worth $3,- 75704 to each Cardinal share hold el
 That run meant the ball game, for Harry Brecheen, making a relief appearance when Murry Dickson weakened, clung grimly to the 4-3 margin through threatening ninth to become a three-game win ner.
 Hurler's Record Not since 1920 when Stanley Ccveleskie whipped Brooklyn three times to give Cleveland the title had any hurler picked up three vic- tories in a single series. Brecheen has put himself in a class that such maund greats as Dizzy Dean Red Ruffing, Lefty Grove, Bill Hal lahan, Walter Johnson and Herb Pennock never reached.
 Oddly enough a two-run double by Dem DiMaggio over Slaughter's head of the right field wall that almost lost the game, actually gave Brecheen his chance to get into the record books It tied the score SC that the ultimate victory was ere dited to Brecheen.
 It was great moment in Car dinal history, the fourth straight time they had won cut in a seven- game series and their sixth tri- umph in all.
 Defeat Bitter For Boston, defeat was doubly bitter because of the knowledge they were the first Red Sox club ever to lose world series after they had made a show of the rest of the American League in coasting 70 pennant by 12-game margin All winter long the arguments will rage over what happened to the Red Sox?" But the best ex- planation is that they were com pletely out-played and out-fought by the underdog Red Birds who
