Reddy's Boosters
|Open Ball Season

Reddy's Boosters are starting
their season officially, Sunday,
April II with their opening game
in the Western Division of the
Central Arizona Semi-Pro League.
They have made a good showing
in their practice games, having lost
only one out of the five they have
played, and that one in ten inn
ing game with a final score of 80
which isn't anything to be ashamed
of. There will be few better ball
games played than that one. It was
hard fought all the way, with
neither team having decided ad-
vantage.
If they are able to continue play
ing that type of baseball through
out the season, they should be a
long ways from the bottom, if they
are not at the top of the league at
the end of the season. Your con-
tinued support will help them more
than anything. Attend as many
games as it is possible and boost
them all the way. Here is their
schedules:
Sunday, April 11-Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Litchfield Park at East
Lake Park.
Sunday, April -Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Phoenix Wildcats at Phoe-
nix.
Sunday, April 25-Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Glendale Grays at East
Lake Park.
Sunday, May 2-Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Buckeye at Buckeye.
Sunday, May 9-Reddys' Boost
ers VS.. Glendale Tigers at East
Lake Park.
Sunday, May 16-Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Litchfield Park at East
Lake Park.
Sunday, May 23-Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Phoenix Wildcats at Phoe-
nix.
Sunday, May 3O-Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Glendale Greys at Glendale.
Sunday, June 6-Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Buckeye at East Lake Park.
Sunday, June 13-Reddy's Boost
ers VS.. Glendale Tigers at Glendale.
Reddy says it may be necessary
to play some of these scheduled
games away from East Lake Park
because the team will probably have
to have some more financial sup
port than a free will offering will
give them. But if you will freely
drop your nickels, dimes and quar-
ters, when the hat is passed around
the management of the team will
try to hold the games there. You
are entitled to some good enter
tainment and the management and
the team think that they are in a
good position to give it to you.
Let's work together on it.

U. S. COURT ORDER
PROHIBITS STRIKE
OF LONCSHOREMEN

NEW YORk.-Using its Injunction
club provided by the Tait-liartley law,
the government sought and received
a temporary Today court order pre-
venting a strike by AFL Longshorc-
men against ship operators along the
Atlantic coast.
The Justice Department acted upon
instructions from President Truman
after a previously-appointcd iact-find-
ing board reported that no solution to
the labor dispute had been reached by
the parties concerned and that a strike
was imminent.
The order, signed by Federal Judge
Harold X. Medina, provided for an
early hearing on an expected govern
mcnt request for the issuance Of an 80
day injunction in accordance with the
provisions OF the Taft-IIartley law.
Affected by the temporary court order
are some $4,000 dock workers repre-
scnted by the AI,L's International
L.ongshoremen's association and en-
ployed at scaports from Portland, Me,
to Hampton Roads, Va.
Commenting on the courts order,
Joseph p. Ryan, ILA president, said:
we naturally will live up to it and
| hope we will be able to adjust our
differences and be able to get an agree
mcnt before the S0-day cooling-oii pc
Rod Of the injunction
Negotiations between the union and
the ship companies recently became
dcadlockcd after weeks OF bargaining
sessions. The principal obstacles to
settlement, it was reported, was the
issue Of overtime pay. A Supreme
Court decision on this question formed
the basis OF the issue.
Earlier this year the court ruled that
premium pay for odd-hour work done
by the longshoremen, regardless Of the
total hours worked during the week,
was not overtime but regular pay. In
negotiations the union has declined 70
give up this premium pay. which is
termed overtime in the contract. But
the ship companies say they cannot
afford to continue without an adjust
mcnt in the wage scales to meet the
new conditions.
The union also has asked Tor an in
crease OF 50 cents above is present
straight time rate OF Sis an hour and
a 75-cent rise over the present night
and week end rate Of S2625. The OPP
orators, in turn. proposed a modIilca-
ton of contract overtime rates coupled
with all inspected increase ii straight
time rates.
