attendance this season should
carry a big assist" for G. I. Joe.
Through the American league the
turnstiles have clicked at an all.
time record pace this year, and I
believe a big reason for the Q
markable interest in u national
game is the enthusiasm by service
men still in uniform and those ex-
fighters who followed baseball
closely from every corner Of the
world throughout the war years,
and now have the chance to watch
the game from the stands.
Baseball, though admittedly un4
der standard through the past four
seasons, received loyal support
from the fans at home. In addi~
ton, it received superlative Slp-
port from millions of ,servicemen
in almost every part of the world,
for the game went to them through
many channels. One of them was
through the American leagues an
nual motion picture of the World
Series.
More than 10, 900, 900 servicemen,
both at home and at almost every
Army and Navy installation In the
world, saw the Leagues annual
world series pictures during the
past four years. In all, some g.
900, 900 persons viewed the film,
with the leagues promotional Of
flee annually keeping 600 prints In
circulation abroad and in this
country, where it proved especially
popular in hospitals and rehabilita+
ton centers.
In 1915, the American league
drew the largest paid attendance in
its as year history-5,5 $50 APO fans,
a total which surpassed by some
$50, 900 the previous all-time mark.
set in 1910. This season the league
has drawn approximately seven
and one-quarter million fans thus
far-an amazing total considering
that the league has not benefited
from a pennant race such as mark
ed the 1910 and 1915 championship
battles.
Boston's Red Sox, holding ten.
aciously to a big lead as they
battle for a pennant, already have
erased the Fenway Park mark of
73O, $40, the Red Sox being over
the million total. Chicago's White
Sox easily will surpass their old
mark of 1888 ,492, while Detroit will
wipe out its home attendance &C.
ord of 1,280,34 set last year.
Cleveland, under the energetic
leadership of Bill Veeck, has seen
an amazing surge of interest in the
Indians and it appears likely that
under new owners the club will
surpass its old home mark of 912,-
1872.
Washington's National likewise
should wipe out their old mark OF
8l7, 199 fans, while the New York
Yankees are heading for a total
over the two million mark.
From a playing standpoint, the
American league has been exceed
ingly fortunate in the return to
stardom of many players who serv-
ed long periods in the armed
forces. Ted Williams, Boston's
great hitter, has been a tremend-
GUS attraction all around our cir
cult, with his amazing perform
ance in the major leagues ALI
Star game being a highlight of the
summer. Bob Teller of Cleveland,
who served aboard warships in all
most every corner of the globe,
came back to take up where he
left off-as one of the truly great
pitchers of modern baseball.
In all, 1916 has been the greatest

Director Region 2B. UAW,CIO

small segment of the labor movement
and a large part of the daily press are critical
of CIO because it has expressed it's intention
of trying to roll back the prices to where they
were before price control was changed into
price decontrol.
While a minority in the labor movement Is
denouncing the position taken by the UAW and
CIO as a retreat" the daily press is pointing
out that if prices are rolled back and wages
not cut that the workers stand to gain.
1t looks like the minority group in the labor
movement and the daily press have at last
reached agreement with a slight difference In
the words they use
WAGE CUTS
Actually, every worker in the country has
had his wages cut Raising prices without
raising wages is just an easy way of cutting
down the income of the workers. Nobody is
going to give out the argument that when in
dustry comes around and tells its workers that
they are going to be given a wage cut
next Monday morning that there isn't more
hard feeling than when prices are raised But
the wage cut is just as effective.
AS l have pointed out here before labor
has but one of two alternatives. Either it goes
after higher wages following price increases,
or it uses its power to force prices down within
reach of the workers income.
Maybe its easier for the workers to ask
for paw raises and strike for what they need.
Or, it might even be that industry might de-
eide to pay the workers some very slight in
creases following major price hikes but in
either case, labor becomes a contributing party
to increased initiation and takes a step that
gives the excuse for the next price increases.
LIVING STANDARDS
What the newspapers are worrying about,
that labor might possibly succeed to certain
extent in forcing down prices and still main
tain its present rate of wages, is exactly what
we would like to be able to do. Forcing down
prices while maintaining wages would be an
actual wage increase, not in dollars and cents,
but in the things that the workers wages would
purchase
am realistic enough to recognize that it Is
a lot harder to force down prices than 1t Is to
force wages up and give those who control the
country enother excuse to raise prices still
further. This is the very thing against which
labor is fighting, for once in1\2tion gets out of
hand, labor suffers most and is the first to
get the full benefit of the crash when it comes.
And it always comes.
1t is because labor recognizes the danger OF
on forcing down prices rather than forcing up
wages and contributing ammunition to the
profiteerS who will use it against the workers.
The policy adopted by the unions is not one
of retreat, but of recognizing that it isn't the
amount of wages earned by those who work,
but the amount of goods and services which
their money will buy for them that really
counts.

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW,CIO

We celebrate Labor Day on September End
this year and as has been customary since the
formation of c. /. o., here in Toledo, our organ
ization is planning to have large parade with
a picnic and Labor Day celebration following
the parade. This will be the second Labor
Day Parade since the conclusion of World War
No 2; however, last years parade came very
shortly after the close of the war, so we can
honestly say that this will be the first real
peace.time parade.
This particular day of the year is Labor's
opportunity to demonstrate to its own satis-
faction and for the benefit of the entire COM
munity and its power to bargain collectively
for its membership. For these reasons and
many others, it is highly important that every
member of Local No. II make sincere effort
to be marcher in our Labor Day Parade.
Each individual Unit of our Amalgamated
Local should enter float or some type OF dis
play which will demonstrate to the general
public that they are part of the {. o.
movement. The Amalgamated Local is plan
ming to supplement the preparations of the
various Units with banners and pennantS. The
Local will also aid in the party following the
parade by putting up several stands at which
tickets will be given out for free rides, games,
ETC., which are being planned by the committee.
In cannot stress, too much, the need for
large turnout in this parade, bue let me at least
say that results for your collective efforts are
more easily attained when you emonstrate col
lectively that you have the power to enforce
your demands. With the general trend of prices
being in an upward spiral there should be
little doubt in anyone's mind that it will be
absolutely necessary to make request of the
mana agements in our area for an additional in
crease in paw before many months have passed
Your efforts in attending this parade and
bringing others to the parade with you will
demonstrate our ability to request and attain
these demands Make your Labor Day a
celebration as a collective group, not an in
dividual vacation.
