The question quite logically was put to Harry
Heilmann, the old Detroit slugger who is making
radio broadcasts from the Tigers camp here.
Heilmann was one of the great right-hand hitters
of all time. He led the American League four
times with averages ranging from 377 to .403.
"The answer is lack of practice" Heilmann says.
Modern ball players don't practice hitting as they
used to do We old-timers practiced three times
as long and hard, maybe five times. If we went
two days without hit we'd ask the manager to
provide us pitcher in the mornings and we'd
hit until we came out of the slump. Today players
go two weeks without hitting and don't seem to
worry much about it. It would drive an old-timer

In New York, Federal conciliators
attempted to revive negotiations be-
tween the Western Electric Co. and
the Association of Communications
Equipment Workers. There was some
apprehension that this new break
off in contract negotiations might
|prolong the telephone strike even
though solution is found for the
present stoppage.
Should the AcEW strike, it would
ask affiliated telephone unions to
respect picket lines, as was done
for three days In January, 1916.
CIO Unit Gives Support.
The NFTW won unexpected sup
port from the CIO unit of the
American Communications Associa-
ton in Northern California and
Nevada. Operators in San Fran
cisco and other points reversed a
previous decision to ignore NFTW
picket lines, and stayed away from
their jobs today.
The Virginia Federation of Tele-
phone Workers planned to make a
decision today whether to file five
week strike notice as required by
the State Public Utility Labor Rela-
ton Act.
Virginia telephone workers are not
striking because of the law. Union
and company spokesman said nego-
tiations would continue even if strike
notices are filed.

Siding with Senator Taft and
four other Republicans on the COM
mittee-Senators Ball, of Minnesota
Smith, of New Jersey; Jenner, OF
Indiana, and Donnell, of Missouri
and possibly a Democrat, Senator
Ellender, of Louisiana.
Opposed along with Senators Hill
Murray, Thomas and Pepper are
Senators Morse, Republican. of Ore
gon,' and Aiken, Republican, of Yer
mont.
This split may be healed with
compromises, but If the apparent
six-to-six division stands, the bal
ance of power rests with the 18th
member of the committee, Senator
Ives, Republican, of New York.
Ives Approves Injunction.
Senator Ives seems to lean toward
the views of Senators Morse, Aiken
and the four Democrats. He told a
reporter he is fatty opposed to au-
thorizing private parties to obtain
injunctions to- prevent strikes. This
would be permitted under the pro-
posed draft in event unions violated
a ban on jurisdictional strikes and
secondary boycotts.
The most common type of juris-
dictional strike is where unions can't
agree on which should do certain
work. A secondary boycott is a re-
fuSal OF one union to handle the
product of another.
Senator Ives said, too, that he is
against proposed restrictions on in
dustry-wide bargaining, as well as
the contemplated ban on the closed
shop and a curb on union shop
agreements. Under the latter, work
ers must join a union shortly after
they are hired.
The Bureau Of Labor Statistics
reported today that wage issues ac-
counted for 2,238, or 44.9 per cent,
of the 1890 work stoppages in 1916.
These wage strikes, the bureau said,
involved 3,710,000, or ISL per cent.
or the $4,000 workers who par
ticipated in the years stoppages.
More Figures Presented.
Bureau figures showed closed or
union shop disputes caused about
l out OF every 10 stoppages, but in
volyed less than per cent OF the
workers, while jurisdictional dis
putes accounted for 3.5 per cent of
the stoppages involving slightly
more than per cent of the work
ers.
Although the bureau report said
AFL unions participated in SIS per
cent of the stoppageA against SO per
cent for the CIO, the number of
AFL members was only "a per cent
of the total against AZ per cent for
the CIO.
The bureau said the number of
man-days of idleness in establish
ments directly involved by strikes
was 124 100000. This did not include
the secondary effects on establish
nents or industries who laid of
workers because of shortages of serv-
ice or materials caused by the walk

down on arbitration on local level,

would affect workers all over the

it as the Senate began considera-
