Harry Brecheen Defeats
!, Defending National Lea

CHICAGO, April 2O-(P)- The
Chicago Cubs raised their 1915
National League pennant before a
capacity crowd of 40,0S7 at Wrig-
ley Field today and then the St.
Louis Cardinals promptly handed
the champs their first setback
in four starts, 20, behind the clever
southpawing of Harry (The CaD

After League President Ford
Prick handed Manager Charley
Grimm of the Cubs the bunting in
pre-game ceremony, the Cards
nicked Hank Borowy, their 1919
nemesis, for a first-inning marker
and that was the ball game, ex-
cept for a nifty duel between
Brecheen and Fordham Hank.

bond.
A good hunting horse hasn't
lived until he's seen Warrenton

lush green grass and overgrown
trees might have been put there
just for the pleasure of those who
follow the hounds. The country
side resembles the hunt section
of Kentucky with overtones of
colonial plantation splendor.
The course was planned with
an eye for the customers. Said
to rank second to none in the
east, each jump Of the track can
be seen easily from the hillside
where the subscribers - elite

At the bottom of the hill horses
parade in the paddock before 60

to their racing silks and weigh in

LANCASTER, FOX
JOIN LOCAL Nine
Coward, Piedmont League
Veteran, Also Reports
To Katkaveck

Manager Stan Katkavick of the
Wilmington Pirates, who has been
worrying about his outfield for the
past week, breathed sigh OF re-
lief last night when he was notl-
lied that Tex Lancaster, the burly
outfielder from Baylor university,
will report today.
Great things are anticipated from
the Texas youngster who has just
completed a lengthy tour Of serv-
ice.
To make the outfield problems
of the BUGS a little less pressing,
Jimmie Fox, a Canadian young
ster who has been training with
the Boston Red Sox notified Kat
kaveck that he was also on his
way here and will make bid for
a starting post in the Wilmington
outfield.
Still another outer-gardener 10
report to the BUGS this weekend
was Con Coward, a former Pied
mont league player.
Katkaveck has been satisfied
with his infielders ever since drills
started Monday so that the addi-
ton of the outfielders would mean
that the BUGS are rounding into
shape.
The locals start their exhibition
season next Saturday when they
take on Kinston at American Lee
gion stadium. The following day,
Sunday, the Pirates will play the
Kinston nine a return match away
from home. With other games spac-
ing out the exhibition season, this
means that the BUGS will be see
ing action until their opener at
Dunn, May 7.

cisely what happened last year Some
time before the strike, figures APP
peared which seemed to prove that
the corporations easily could raise
wages IS per cent without advancing
prices. Then it was Mr.. Henry Wal
lace who put the figures out, and, as
he was then Secretary Of Commerce,
they appeared to give official Govern
ment backing to the strike. Certainly
the CIO leaders made full use Of
these figures during the strike and
it was not until the struggle was over
that Mr., Wallace himzelf admitted
they were inaccurate and unofficial
and that the Go Interpretation of
them was not justified. Mr.. Nahan,
employed by the CIO, has now pro-
duced new set Of figures. A former
member Of the Administration and a
left-wing New Dealer, Mr.. Nathan is
now in private practice. He was host
at the luncheon and managed to get
several Government officials to at
tend.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1946-12-26

But it is well to understand that the
CIO is his client and that his ere
port" was a matter Of business. Mr..
Nathan makes no pretense otherwise.
His figures already have been de
nounced by the head of the National
Association Of Manufactures as an
Invitation for a new round Of wage
demands 10 be followed by new
series Of serious strikes" Obviously.
the Nathan report is not going to be
as useful as the Wallace report. It
will not convey the same idea Of Adj
ministration support, but it is the
best the CIO bosses can do this time.
It will give them a basis for the pub
licity upon which they so much de-
pend and upon which they have 50
greatly prospered.
They do not, Of course, expect
anything like 25 per cent increase,
and with d resentful Congress about
to meet, they are not anxious for an
other battle such as they had last
year with General Motors. What they
do want IS something in the way of a
concession that will restore their pres
tige and enable them to dispute the
Lewis leadership in the labor world.

These new wage demands come from
the leaders, not from the rank and

doubtedly has much to do with them.
P.S-Recently in this space it was

tator IN question.

1t must be admitted there is con-
siderable ground for this view
especially when the obvious itch for
personal publicity among these, Labor
statesmen" is considered This is most
notable among the CIO heads engi-
neering the new wage demands. They
fairly revel in press conferences. They
specialize in vituperative statements,
directed against industry and the very
newspapers which consistently give
these statements far more space than
their news value justifies. The present
CIO campaign appears to follow eX-
actly the pattern of the one last year
launched against General Motors. 1t
starts on with Mr. Murray eXuding
statements about the "monstrous con-
spiracy" to cripple labor and Mr..
Reuther, who last year, after the
strike, publicly admitted that his
arguments were phony, making his
usual truccuent and reckless accu-
saton against employer. Then there
followed a carefully staged luncheon
in Washington, where MI. Robert
Nathan, the employed economist Of
the CIO, made public report" de-
signed to bolster CIO contention
about the "huge profits" of industry
and its ability to increase wages 25
per cent without increasing prices.

1t is the considered opinion of this
reporter that the rivalries of the
present-day labor leaders are a basic
cause for the great strikes with which
the nation has been afflicted and for
those that are now threatened. If, it
is argued, one leader successfully
strikes, gaining concessions and pub
icity, his rivals are compelled to
strike or lose prestige. confess in
feriority, shrivel in Importance. SO, it
is inevitable that the interludes be-
tween strikes become shortened and
one follows another with or without
excuse, regardless of contracual obi
cations or economic justification.

During that strike, Mr. Murray had
to play second fiddle to Mr.. Lewis,
whom he bitterly hates. In addition,
he had to support him with series
of demagogic statements. In addition,
he had to postpone and rearrange his
own schedule. In addition, for three
weeks and more his press conferences,
public announcements and general
publicity were all subordinate to Mr..
Lewis upon whom the limelight
played incessantly-and still does. All
of which was gall NORWOOD to Mr..
Murray, who is a puny type compared
to Mr.. Lewis, wholly dependent for
for prestige and position upon the I'M
precendently expensive and elaborate
publicity and promotion agencies
which the CIO has built up around
him.
