Why Not Give Fan9 in Smaller Cities Dream Game Break? The epehot ef a lot of listening end noting I did at the recent game In Washington la that AB-St- ar I have an Idea. Aside frem proving that If a reporter baa etrong lega and an ear trumpet he can always get pieces done (or the papers this Idea Is that far better use could be made ef baseballs dream game. Last year Boston, usually a good sports town, failed to sell out for the contest. This year, in Washington, a smaller city not given to making millionaires out of sports promoters, was demanding twice as many tickets as were available. Why? The reason seems to me to be that Washington is a town represented in only one league while Boston can gander at both organizais tions. Therefore Washington eager to peer at the Dizzy Deans, Hubbells, Mungos, and equally celebrated colleagues who perform their chores In the other circuit. Similarly, Cincinnati Is most Interested In getting the game next year when It la the National leagues turn to entertain. Then the good burgher will have a chance to peer at Gehrigs. Foxxes, Rolfes and ether baseball emlnentisslmoes who never previously have stepped down y Vine street. Do you get the Idea? Then let us get on with the improvement on it Greater New York, possessed of three e teams, can be very well pleased with the news that Lou Gehrig's home run and double accounted for four runs and thus beat the National league . total There also was pleasure In the news big-tim- single-handed- that Red Rolfe and Bill Dickey were per- forming as If the World Series checks were down, that Lefty Gomez did the most accomplished pitching of the afternoon and that even the longest memorized folks must now forget Joe D! Mag-glodisaster twelve months ago. Greater New York did not devote too much time to worrying because Carl Hubbell looked like a 's batting practice pitcher. Neither was there too much repining because Mel (larder ran his total of acoreless pitching Innings up to 13 for four games. That, to a town with three teams, Is as much applesauce as the additional news that Dizzy Dean was pitching like the real Dizzy until he ran into Gehrigs homer. Maybe it means the Cards, paced by Joe Medwick, who obtained a cool four hits in five trips to the plate, will more than vex our ambitious Giants later. But, as has been suggested, All-St- ar why should New Yorkorry? New York has three teams and almost every day it can see the nations best performers. Therefore New York Is nsed to such things and can take them In a calm, turnstile-ticklin- g stride. Rut what about the Buffaloes, the Kansas Cities, the Milwaukee, the Baltimore and other metropolises e somewhat off the baseball track? d Most of them are cities where baseball occupies a major portion of the two or three pages each paper devotes to sports. When a reporter or player visits one of these towns to give a baseball talk he is almost mobbed by people wanting to talk about the national game. Yet In spite of bis evidence and la spite of the less reports of recent date cencerning Increased attendance, basebaO la in a bad way In moat of these towns. Largely it is In a bad way because e club owners bsve selthe dom paid proper attention to tboao sources of customer and player supply. Of course many of them are represented by farm team and each year the hlgb-ctas- a gees send business representatives te whoop It np for the box office. But well, what I was getting at. Is why not give those smaller town gees a break. Hubbell, Gehrig, Di Maggio, Gehringer the list is too long to call the roll but it was a swell show and Washington liked it What is good enough for Washing ton should be more of the same for St Paul, say. e So gentlemen to whom this piece Is mainly dedicated quit squawking about whero you aro going to bold your abow next and wbat trouble it to.

The apathy of one organization for the other among maritime workers Is demonstrated almost constantly on the east coast Scarcely a week passes when there is not a strike of workers affiliated with one or the other of the two groups on some ship scheduled to leave port The two organizations will not work with each other; if a ship owner makes an agreement with one union, the other walks out The condlUon is true even when the workers of one group Involved are not engaged in the same industry as the other group. In Philadelphia not long ago, 25,000 teamsters affiliated with the Green organization went on strike. They were protesting the fact that C. I. O. unions had made an agreement with bakery employers. A. F. of L. won; It effected a truce providing for elections in the bakery plants, C. I. O. promising to withdraw if it lost the elections. C. I. O. lost and pulled out. An interesting clash arose on a Seattle newspaper. The dispute was between the American Newspaper union guild and the teamsters about control over the papers circulation department employees. The guild was a member of C. I. O., taking in workers in the circulation, advertising and business offices, as well as editorial departments of newspapers. The paper was forced to suspend publication pending settlement of the dispute. Teamsters refused to deliver the papers until members of the circulation department were placed elsewhere and their jobs given to A. F. of L. members. The guild members then went on strike claiming that the newspaper had Opponents in labors current fight: William Green (left), of the American Federation of Labor, and John L. Lewis, of the Committee for Industrial Organization. has started collecting dues of five cents a month per member of affiliated unions. Of course there are national unions belonging to one organization or the other which have large treasuries of their own. The bricklayers union to said to enjoy a balance of some $7,000,000, while the ladies garment workers are $2,000,000 in the black. Lewis is said to have spent $1,000,000 in the steel workers strikes against independent steel corporations. What Employers Face. Employers are often faced with truly mortal problems as a result of the Green-Lewi- s friction. For instance there is the case of an automobile body corporation which was planning some major construction. The company's employees are dominated by the United Automobile Workers of America, a C. I. O. union. A C. I. O. union demands the work of digging the foundations The contractor is afraid to begin work on the job for fear the A. F. of L. unions will not work on the superstructure. If he gives the foundation work to A. F. of L. men, he courts reprisals by C. I. O. automobile workers in the town. So the construction is not being done and nobody is benefiting from the employment it would provide. Certain aspects of the rise of C. I. O. have reacted definitely to the advantage of the American Federation of Labor. Industries which in the oast have been none too anxious to Sympathetic Friends will be able to vote Itself Into control of that policy. If the above plan would be successful, some agreement would have to be reached and guaranteed that would allow the two groups to share the power. But it does not appear that either wants to share it, and such a truce would be difficult indeed to effect. Whether or not the C. I. O. is on the way downhill because of its failure to obtain written contracts In the strike against the independent steel companies is stiU widely debated. The campaign began a year ago, and by February some contracts had been obtained. The United States Steel corporation capitulated and signed C. I. O. contracts for its Camegle-Illinoi- s subsidiarys employees. This lent impetus to the Steel Workers Organizing Committee drive until today It claims 260 contracts involving more than 350,000 steel workers. Companies Woo Public Opinion. But the Independent companies refused to sign contracts and are apparently getting away with it. Before the federal mediation board they opened up an attack concentrated upon Lewis, charging that any C. I. O. affiliate was irresponsible, threatened to break contracts and did break them. Examples cited included the United Automobile Workers of America, a C. I. O. affiliate, with which General Motors and Chrysler signed agreements, only to be plagued with hundreds of strikes after the agreement had been made. Companies lost no chances to impress the public with the violence on the picket lines that were established by C. I. O. unions. When there was resentment of the employment of vigilantes by local police and by the companies, the were upheld on the grounds that C. I. O. had regular armies of its own which it continually threatened to move in upon strike areas. The contention is made that with the failure of C. I. O. in the independent steel strikes, Big Steel and. the automobile companies will refuse to sign again when their contracts come up for renewal. Predictions are also made that C. I. O. to due for another serious drop in prestige in its attempt to organize the employees of the Ford Motor company.

But thanks for n present or a real favor or anything aa serious as a letter of condolence must be answered by a note or at least a handwritten message.
