WANT CHANCER
IN REPRESENTATIVES
It Is Hnited That Fourteen
Other Unions May Not
Send Delegates to the
Conference.
(Br Ths Awia.il!itc4 Press.)
Washington, Oct. 3. Railroad un
ions, representing more than 2,000,000
workers, will not participate in the
Industrial conference called by Presi
dent Wilson for next Monday unless
the iHises of lalmr representation is
Changed to Include the chief execu
tives of all International and national
unions.
Timothy Shea, of the brotherhood of
firemen said today that the change iu
representation had lieen suggested to
Director General Hines, but no reply
had lieen received, and none is ex
pected. Because of tills, he said, the
four brotherhoods do not expect to go
to the conference and Is was thought
the other fourteen uutons which are
affiliated - with the American Federa
tion of Labor, also would not partici
pate. Troubled over the railroad men's
representation arose when all rail
road unions were asked to send four
men to conference. The brotherhood
asserting that the fourteens union
would be represented by delegates of
the American Federation of Labor,
with which the railroad brotherhoods
are not 'affiliated, sought to name all
four delegates. The railway employees
department of the Federation contend
ed they should have direct representa
tion by appointment of part of the
four. The matter waa referred to Mr.
Hlues who has beeu endeavoring to
solve the problem without success.
Acting President Jewell of the rail
road employees department of the
American Federation of Labor said to
day the Federation did not yet know
whether the railroad anions affiliated
with the Federation would be repre
sented In .the conference." There was
indications from some quarters that
these unions would accept, representa
tives by the delegates accredited to
the Federation, even If they were not
allowed to appoint their own spokes
men. FORTY CENTS FOR COTTON;

CONFERENC
HISTORY OF THE "REDS"
Players and Salaries of the Firs!
Team Organized.
(By Tfc Araoeted Prcaa.
Cincinnati. Oct. 2. Fifty-two years
ago when the II. C. L. caused by the
Civil War was beginning to drop and
baseball players were discarding their
"long pants" for uniforms. Harry
Wright, a star of tlie "National" team
of Washington, landed in Cincinnati
and put red hose on his players and
they lieciime the "Red Stockings." To
b more exact, historians tell us that
the designation originated in 1S07 anil
the Cincinnati's have lieen "Reds" in
to this, their year of glory.
Three years later after the "Rod
Stocklinrs'S bad had remarkable suc
cess, with' Aflr professions! ream Chi
cago men were Inspired to organize a
rival professional club. The Chicago
team whs called the "White Stockings"
because they wore white hosiery In
contrast to that of carmine color worn
by their rivals. Lnter their name was
changed to White Sox but the Clncin-
natis did not become "Red Sox.
That name was adopted by the Hoston
club of the American league. In time
the Cincinnati "Red Stockings" be
came the "Reds."
The Cincinnati Reds made a great
pennant race this season but Pat Mo-
rau s lumen of ball tossers had nothing
on the original Cincinnati "Red Stock
ings," back in 18(1!). Their record that
year was unapproachable. The team
toured the country from Boston to San
Francisco ami never lost a game. Six
ty-nine games were played liefore the
team met defeat at the hands or the
"Atlantics" of Brooklyn in 1870.
On this famous tour of the Cincin
nati team it Is recorded that Hurry
Wright tlie owner, made money and
thus .was styled the first baseball mag
nate. The first year's salary roll of the
"Red Stockings" Is still on record. It
reads like this: Harry Wright, center
Holder, $1,200; George Wright, short
stop, (then greatest all round player
In the country) $1,-100: Asa Bralnard.
pitcher, $1,100: Fred Waterman, third
base, $1,000; Charles Sweascy, second
base, $800; Charles Could, first base,
$800; Douglas Allison, catcher, $800:
Andy Ionard, left fielder, 8O0; Call
McVev, right fielder. $800 and Richnrd
Hurley, utility, $000.
In 1870 Cincinnati played a disas
trous series with tlie Chicago White
Sox. It was no Workl's Series only
a two game affair but the two victor
ies of the White "Sox so disheartened
the Red Stockings that the following
year the club disbanded. They took
defeat hard in those days, the histor
ians tell. But no one can blame the
Cincinnati players for being discour
aged seeing that jnst a year ls?forc
they had won sixty-nine games with
out a loss from teams iu all parts of
the Cnlted States. They Just natural
ly hated to lose.
