SAYS JUDGE GARY
STORY
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 3. Refusing to
arbitrate the steel strike, Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the board of the
United States Steel Corporation, is
"sowing the seeds of anarchy," the
senate committee was told today by
Michael Tighe, secretary of the iron,
steel and tin workers.
"I was very much put out by Judge
Gary's statement yesterday," said
Tighe; "he is sowing the seeds of
anarchy."
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 3. Giving a de
tailed history of union activities in
the steel industry, Michael F. Tighe,
president of the iron, steel and tin
workers' union, told the senate inves
tigating committee that the United
States Steel Corporation instead of
leading the van in advancing wages,
as Judge Gary had claimed, "has lagg
ed behind our organization."
"Information given to you by Judge
Gary," Tighe said,"was not first hand
knowledge gained in the industry, but
consisted of statements made to him
by his foremen and superintendents.
It was untrue in many particulars."
He repeatedly charged that the
steel corporation early in its history
had appropriated $20,000,000 to fight
unions and gave names of his inform
ants. The union, he said had never
sought closed shops, but union shops.
When the management signs a con
tract as to wages and working condit
ions, it is a "closed shop," he said. ...
"The effect is the same as a closed
shop," asked Senator Sterling of
South Dakota.
"No," said the witness, "it is a un
ion shop."

m FOR BASEBALLS
By the Associated Press.
Chicago, Oct. 3. Oscar "Happy"
Felsch, who plays center field for the
White Sox against the Cincinanti Reds,
is the holder of a new record for
major league center fielders. On
June 20, 1919, while the White Sox
were playing Cleveland, "Happy" ac
cepted twelve chances without a slip.
Eleven of his chances were flies and
one an asist.
Jimmy Slagle, while playing right
field for the Chicago Nationals in 1897
made twelve putots and this is the
record for all outfielders, as far as
put-outs are concerned.
In 1877, Schafer who played right
held for the braves had seven putouts
and four assists and Hornung, left
fielder for the same club, gathered ten
putouts and one assist in 1881
O'Brien of the old Metropolitan, had
eleven putouts in 1887, but made an
error. Dick Harley of the Cardi
nals in 1918, had eleven putouts and
Topsy Hartsel, while with the Cubs in
1906 grabbed off the same number.
Eighty 'dollars for baseballs for
each game played in the world's series
That sounds big, but nevertheless,
that is approximately what it will
cost to furnish the principal item for
the baseball classis this year.
As in other things, the high cost has
hit baseballs, which now bring $20 a
dozen. It is estimated four dozen
balls will be used in each game. On
this basis, if it is decided to paly nine
games in the series, and it becomes
necessary to run the entire string, be
fore the winner' is decided, it will cost
close to $1,000 for balls alone.
The reason that so many are used
is because balls fouled into the stand
or crowd are seldom returned. Dur
ing an ordinary game, however, most
of the balls which leave the playing
field, find their way back.
Manufacturers blame increased
f prices paid for materials and the high
cost of labor tor the present price.
Horsehide used in covering the base
balls has increased m cost during the
past three years about 250 per cent
The wool yarn has jumped 200 per
cent in three years. lhe official ball
of the National league, is made with
a cork center. The price of this cork
has doubled and a special thread used
has increased almost three times. The
cork center ball was patented August
31, 1909. It weighs 5 ounces and is
9 inches in circumference. This ball
will be used in all games played in
the National league ball park during
the series. Another ball, similarly
imade, and adopted by the American
league, will be used in all contests
in the junior league park.
THROUGH POSTOEFICE
The postoffice has gone out of
the retail grocery business. The an
nouncement was made today that no
more orders will be accepted for
food supplies, but persons whe
want army goods can get them by
whiting to the retail store division
of the quartermaster's department,
Charleston, S. C. a list of the ai
ticles desired and a postoffice mon
ey order, certified check or cash
should accompany each order-
The city still has a quantity of
stuff to dispose of and persons who
want the articles would do well to
get in touch with the city manager.

THE "6 TO 1" FIASCO
Springfield Republican
Pressed in the senate debate Ihejored was duplicated today
otner day to show specifically how
the Uriited States would be bene
fited by having- six votes instead oi
one in the assembly of the league
bf nations,- Senator Johnson of Cal
ifornia avoided the issue. Finally
he fell back upon Senator Reed's ll
lustration of the "peril" of giving
the great dominions of the British
empire six votes in the assembly
while the United States had one.
"In case of a dispute with Japan,"
he explained, "we are confronted
with the fact that while we could
not vote, another nation sits there
votes in that particular matter
ter." Six votes for what? Six
votes on what sort of business? The
deliberate attempts to befuddle the
I-ublic mind in this matter and deave
it befuddled are among the most
'curious aspects of the controversy.
The "6 to 1", dispute, if run down
to the last extremity, results in as
ridiculous a fiasco as could be im
agined. Article 15 of the covenant
deals with international disputes
not submitted to arbitration. Such
disputes may be submitted to the
council by either party for a re
'port thereon and also "recommen
dations" as to a settlement.. The
whole process contemplated is noth
ing but investigation and publicity
of the facts; no action is called for
by the league of nations as the re
sult of this process. It reminds
one of the commission of inquiry
provisions in the Hague treaties,
which our government signed and
ratified.
Thus appealed to by either party,
the council may publish a report on
the facts in the case and offer rec
ommendations which either party
will be bound to accept. If both re
fuse to accept the recommendations,
that is the end of the process, so
for as article 15 is concerned. But
if one of the parties accepts them.
j tins is all that can come out of a:
i1 "If a report by the council is un
I animously agreed to by the mem
! bers thereof other than' the repre
. sentatives of one or more of the
parties to the dispute, the members
cf the league agree that they will
i ot go to war with any party to
the dispute which complies with the
recommendations of the report."
In short, there comes out of it
nothing at all no coercion of eith
er party to the dispute. For there
is no provision made tfor coercing
the party that refuses to comply
witn tne recommendations
