Labor Review Says
Present Period Is
'Gompers Century
By the Asseeiaiad Press

Monthly Labor Review" the
Governments Oldest regular pub
lication, published its 35th an
niversary issue yesterday. Run
ming through it is the theme that
in the labor field the Goth Gen.
tury has been the "Gompers
Century"
"Gompers Century" means that
American labor unions. AFL and
CIO, even to this day, have fol-
lowed the road that Samuel
Gompers put them on.
1 Mr.. GomperS was born in a
London tenement in 1850, came
to America in 1868, became a
cigar maker, helped to found the
American Federation of Labor,
and was president of that organi-
zation from 1886 almost contin-
ously until his death in 1924.
cit was not until the 1930s that
the CIO was formed within the
AFL and then split away.)
Mr.. Gompers and his associates
rejected revolutionary goals for
labor, vigorously accepted the
capitalistic system, and stuck to
a policy of gradually improving
wages and working conditions
year after year.
/ The American labor movement
has been almost alone in the
world in its rejection of socialism
in favor of "gradualism."
Monthly Labor Review" is
published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, in the Labor Depart
ment. Lawrence r. Klein, editor
and his staff have been working
for eight months on the ami
versary issue, lining up "a con-
tributors for scholarly review OF
fifty years progress of Aineri-
can labor"
Mr.. Klein, in a signed editorial
commented on the "Gompers Cen
tury" idea and also noted the
following themes appearing here
and there in the "a articles:
1. The phenomenal growth ano
power of American industry was
the great shaper of the structure
and character of American labor
2. The early attitude of EN-.
ployers toward unionism was bit.
terly hostile, and this was re-
f1ected in the law and the courts
Interpretation Of it.
The magazine bulges with the
impressive statistics of so years
of the American economy.
Evan Clague, Commissioner OF
Labor Statistics. one of the con-
tributors, gives many pages OF
facts about the country's economic
growth. But Mr.. Clague's article
is not all rosy.
/ He says that ''as our achieve
ments and potentialities have
blossomed in unbelievable fash
ion, so too have our worries and
our fears" worries, for example,
about 'the prospects of World
War III"
I He says 1--WE have no gauge to
measure human happiness, but
only a rash person would con-
clude that the young family of
today is happier or less appre-
lhensiye than their grandparents
were in the year 1900"
Mr.. Clague concludes: "If the
destiny of the American people
were exclusively in their own
hands, the outlook for the next
half century would be bright in
deed We could hope to solve
our internal problems. But the
real danger to our way of life
comes not from within but from
without The future of the
world may depend upon the abil-
ity of the American people to re-
peat on a world scale their in
dustrial triumphs on the Ameri-
can continent"
The article was written before
/ the Korean fighting began.

Right and Lsft.Handers

'Right-handersl I'll take a lefty
any day. said another kibitzer. I'll
take Lefty Grove against the field.
Connie Mack (who still calls him
That Grove") judges Grove the
greatest left-hander of all time,
and that includes George Rube)
Waddell. whom Mack once named
the lefty king. Groves record in
1881, when he won 81 games and
lost only four. with an ERA of EOS,
is the finest pitching in modern
baseball. Maybe Johnson and
Mathewson did have TO face Cobb
and Wagner and Speaker game
after game. Grove had to face
Babe Ruth and Harry Heilmann
and a guy named Gehrig. Grove won
800 games in only II seasons but
that's not the most important stats.
tic-Grove lost only 14l games. His
all-time winning percentage OF
$50 will never be equaled. It's as
far above Johnson's, Mathewson' s
Alexander's, and Eddie Plank
percentage OF wins as Cobb is above
the rest Of the hitters. Lefty Grove,
don't forget, is the only major
league pitcher who ever won twice
as many~games as he lost-over a
long career
The talk fell to pitchers OF the
1905 and 1905 land 1950's) and
which one had a chance to make the
upper circle OF fame.
Somebody said that Joe DiMag-
gios 56-game consecutive hitting
streak in 194l was the greatest feat
in all baseball-batted .408, 81 hits
in So games.
You're all wrong, said another,
The greatest feat in history Of base
ball wasn't in a regular game. II
was when Carl Hubbell struck out
Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons and
Cronin in order in the all-star game
Of 1884. Only Foxx so much as
nicked single ball-it was a foul.
And Foxx never saw the other
tnree pitches. Nobody did. Babe
Ruth said afterward it was the
greatest pitching exhibition he had
ever seen, and that was from one
of the greatest pitchers OF all
umel'"
II business seems to be slack,
try the tested tonic, advertising
and watch II improve.

at least it might. Cutting off few
arms couldn't make it much worse.
The bali fields are Uttered with
sore-armed pitchers as it is.
"A few friends Of mine were
talking about pitching and
throwing the other night"
writes r. T., an accurate OBJ
server, "and one of them said
II was just age, the pitchers
were just as good as ever.
Somebody mentioned Bobby Eel
ler's 348 strikeouts with Cleve-
land in 1946-and 2S strikeOuts

as being just about tops.
Good, yes our friend yawned,
but l want to remind you of guy
who never left one club, pitched
every game for one team, and that
team was almost always fighting
with all its might TO get out of the
cellar. Here's sample-in 10 con-
secutive years these are the games
that pitcher won: 25, %, 80, 36, %,
q, "a, 80, and 20 per season. II a
pitcher wins 20 games nowadays
he's a national hero. This man won
20 games or more for 10 straight
seasons, with a miserable ball club,
a club that sometimes won only
when this man pitched. In his life
time the average pitcher, wins 100
to $50 games. The real stars win
200 (Bucky Walters missed it by
whisker). Once in great while the
champion of champions comes
along and wins 300 games in life
time in the major leagues. This man

Christopher Mathewson, of the
