longest drawn-out baseball games of
the season in this vicinity was that

Cincinnati and the Overpecks.
Though the "Clowns" were defeated
they did not leave the grounds in dis
grace. It took the Overpeck boys 18

being 3 to 2. The Overpeck team
failed to steal a single base off the
watchful catcher of the Clown team.
The Clown's pitcher had 18 strike
outs to his dVedit at the end of the
game, while the Overpeck twirler
downed 14 of the Clowns. The Clowns
say it is only a matter ^of time when
they will come back and get their
revenge, and when they do there will
no doubt be an enormous crowd out
to witness the game between these
two well matched teams.
The Clowns claim their team is as
good as the popular cigarette which
they represent and which, by the way,
is union made. The smokers of
cigarettes say this is a strong asser
tion to make.

Some of this merchandise has already

PDRE FOOD ACT
Violated By Crushed Fruit
Venders
Washington. Manufacturers who
extract part of the juice from fruit
and then sell it labeled "crushed
fruit" violate the federal food and
drug act, and render their "fruit
products" liable to seizure by federal
officials, declares the bureau of
chemistry of the department of agri
culture in a warning npte issued to
the manufacturers and the public.
The "crushed fruit" is used largely
by soda fountain owners to make
fountain syrup. It is also a constitu
ent of jellies and similar products.
The bureau of chemistry claims
that manufacturers deprive the fruit
of a "considerable portion of its
jjuice," add sugar and artificial coir,
and then label the compound "crush
ed fruit."
The bureau declares that the adul
teration and false labeling must end.

MARKETING PLAfc
Fails in Chicago—Farmers
Pass Up Gold Bricks
Chicago.—The failure of Dean, On
ativia & Co., Chicago brokers, for
$30,000,000, and the collapse of the
Grain Marketing Company, an al
leged co-operative venture, indicates
that the day has passed wlien farm
ers buy gold bricks.
The marketing company proposed
to sell stock to farmers and buy pri
vate-owned wheat elevators with the
money thus raised. One of the ele
vator concerns that expected to be
taken over had large holdings of its
stock in the hands of the brokerage
firm. When it was discovered that
farmers were refusing to buy stock in
the marketing company, the stock of
the elevator company dropped in value
and the brokerage firm was forced
into bankruptcy. It was one of the
largest failures of its kind.
The farmers refused to buy the
marketing company stock because the
selling companies overvalued their
property. The farmers were suspi
cious of the over-capitalization of
wooden elevators, which were 50 years
old and are regarded as firetraps.
Modern elevators are of concrete and
are equipped with many new inven
tions. Several of the farmers' co
operative associations of the Middle
West fought the grain marketing
company and urged their members to
stay out. The Indiana securities
commission refused to validate the
stock issue.
The marketing plan was backed by
Gray Silver, president of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation.
YELLOW-DOG
Contracts Hit the Out-of
Works
London, Eng.—Sir Arthur Steel
Maitland, the British minister of la
bor, has refused unemployment insur
ance benefit to a number of youths
who declined to sign an agreement
that they would not join a trade
union.
The youths were offered work as
junior apprentices by a ship-building
firm and were asked to sign inden
tures containing a provision that
they must not join a union.
The boys refused to sign. Where
upon their employment benefit was
stopped. An appeal was taken to the
umpire, who decided that the condi
tion in the indenture prohibiting
trade union membership was not un
fair or unjust. The minister of labor
approved the umpire's decision.
^The current issue of the journal of
the National Amalgamated Furnish
ing Trades' Association declaims that
apprentice indentures in Manchester
include a clause prohibiting a youth
from joining a trade union until with
in six months of the termination of
his apprenticeship.
"ANTHRACITE COAL
SMEARED WITH
BLOOD"
Atlantic City.—"Anthracite coal is
smeared with blood," declared John
L. Lewis, in a wage conference with
representatives of the anthracite mine
owners.
In fancy the trade unionist paraded
before the conference the 44,000 mine
workers who have been injured since
the 1923 wage conference, the widows
and orphans of the 1,000 killed and
the dependents of those injured.
"If it were possible to actually
hold this parade," said President
Lewis, "it would stagger humanity.
The people would realize the cost of
life and limb for producing anthra
cite.

SIX HUNDRED
Labor Papers Listed in La
bor Press Directory
By International Labor News Service.
New York City.—About 600 labor
papers, issued by labor or closely dis
cussing labor questions, appear regu
ularly in the United States, according
to the new American Labor Press
Directody just published by the labor
research department of the Rand
School of Social Science, in New
York.
The American Federation of Labor
and practically every national and in
ternational union affiliated with it are
represented by official organs. The
most frequent kind of labor paper is
the local journal issued by some per
son or group, often with the indorse
ment of the trade unions in the vicin
ity. Several of the independent
unions publish papers for their mem
bers.
The various political parties which
claim to speak for labor are actively
pushing journals which aim to inter
pret events in terms of their particu
lar programs. Progressive farmers'
groups and the co-operative move
ment have a number of papers of
their own. Then there are the various
governmental, sociological, and relir
gious journals which pay special at
tention to labor problems.
This is the first time an American
Labor Press Directory has been at
tempted. The book gives the name
and address of each paper, the editor
and publisher, size, frequency of pub
lication, subscription price, and other
information.
