Sunny-Haired Pitcher for
Omaha Wins Game After
Missourians Take Ten ,
j Straight.
Joplin, Mo., June 10. (Special Tele
gram.) The Miners made it ten
straight wins by walloping Merz in
the opener this afternoon, but O'Toole
stopped them dead in the second game.
Joplin won the first game, 4 to .1,
and the second went to Omaha, 6 to 2.
The first was won by Joplin in the
ninth, when Merz weakened after
hurling a masterpiece in which errors
helped the home team.
Beauty Marty granted the Dalton
crew only four hits in the closing
fracas and would have shut them out
if Brokaw had not booted an easy
grounder.
After Joplin got an early lead in
the introductory bill, the Rourkes
kept fighting until they tied the count.
Smith tripled in the sixth and scored
on Shaw's sacrifice drive to center.
Burg doubled in the seventh and
scored on Brokaw's hit. Merz tied
I lie figures with a ' single that sent
Brokaw over.
Do Business in Ninth.
I op I in opened its share of the ninth
with 3 singel by Horan. Metz sacri
ficed and Dalton got the only base on
balls in the game. Monroe pushed a
sizzling single through short aud
Horan scored, ending the fracas.
Omaha nearly murdered Irion, who
tried a come back in the second game.
Smith hit the first ball pitched' for
tiirce bases and scored on Cochran's
muff of a wonderful throw by Horan.
After (hat the Kourkes hit until they
became wearied and the crowd of 4,

BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
AFTERIARL SMITH
Connie Mack, Clarke 'Griffith
Comiskey Are All Desirous
of Landing Rourke
Outfielder.
Maior league clubs already are be
ginning to look with longing eyes
upon Uarl smith, nara nuting ana
fast fieldinsr left fielder of the Rourkes.
Smith was a star with the Rourkes
last' year' and several clubs bid for-
his services, but tne Chicago uudj pui
up the. big money and he was sold to
them.
In tiie shakeup last winter Fred
Mitchell was made manager of the
Cubs. He wasn't impressed with
Smith's record, shunted him off to the
second team and never gave him an
other thought until later in the spring
when he returned him to Omaha.
That Mitchell culled a large "bone'
is the belief of Omaha fans who re
gard Smith as Lig league timber. And
Mitchell soon will be informed of his
mistake.
For several clubs are after Smithy.
Rourke is known to have r.ceived one
miehtv KOd offer for the fast out
fielder, but refused it because it called
tor immediate delivery and he wants
Smith for the Western league pen
uant flight.
Class of League.
Smith today is easily the class of
the Western league, regardless of po
sition. His loss would hurt the pen
nant chances of the Rourkes and Pa
will not dispose of him unless given
such a biff bundle of cash he could
not resist in view of the fact that
lie isn't 'making any money at the
gate and a good player with which to
fill the vacancy left by Smith's de
parture. Connie Mack is one manager said
to be bidding for Smiths services.
The Athletics' leader is said to want
Smith badly and ready to offer a tidy
sum and some players. Comiskey of
the White Sox is another big leaguer
said to be anxious to land (he Omahan
j.nd Clarke Griffith of Washington is
known to be watching the Rourke
sensation.
There isn't any doubt but what
Smith will go up hetore the season
ends and it is probable he will be the
only plaver in the Western league
that a major league will pay big
money tor in these war times.

Labor Strikes
ARE
Unpatriotic
The sentiment of the nation is that this is not
a good time, for a dispute between employers and
their employes that the hour of the nation's dire
need is not a time to provoke disputes between dif
ferent groups of its citizens.
i
The employers of Omaha are in accord with
this sentiment. They do not wish to quarrel with
their employes. But they do not believe that the en
tire burden of avoiding a dispute should be placed
upon them. They do not believe that they should
concede the aggressive and unreasonable demands
of their employes simply because this is not a time
to have disputes. The burden of avoiding a dispute
is upon the aggressor.
What is Disloyal?
The Secretary of Labor in President Wilson's
cabinet, the Hon. W. B. Wilson, himself a great
union labor leader and advocate, made the follow
ing remarks in an address to the National Defense
Conference at Washington, D. C, May 2 and 3 :
"Under normal conditions the trade unionist
believes in collective bargaining. He believes that
his union should be recognized for the purpose of
conducting collective bargaining, and in many in
stances they have been recognized, but this is no time
to take advantage of emergencies to force recogni
tion of the union. It is the height of disloyalty to
force or bring about a stoppage of our industries in
order to force the establishment of standards that
they have not been able to force during normal con
ditions." Union Demands Aggressive
The principal demands of Omaha organized
labor this year were unmistakably of the sort de
Scribed here by the Scesetary of Labor demands for
recognition of the union, demands for the "closed
shop," demands for the right of sympathetic strike.
The unions struck to enforce these demands
after war was imminent or even declared. They per
mitted no considerations of national safety to stop
their strikes.
The unions have claimed in published state
ments and elsewhere, that the strikes in Omaha are
in fact "lock-outs," brought about by unpatriotic
acts of the employers. This is not the fact The pur
pose of such a misrepresentation is plain. It was to
mislead the public and gain public support by a trick
where it would not come otherwise.
That representation has made it necessary for
the employers of Omaha to state the facts to the
public.
The employers of Omaha are not seeking to
destroy the legitimate rights of labor. They seek no
advantage in this time of war. They ask nothing ex
cept to insure themselves and the public against
unreasonable attempts to enforce unreasonable de
mands. They want nothing but the maintenance of
industrial peace. In this strike they are on the de
fensive, not the offensive.
The manner in which the STRIKE was used in
Omaha to enforce unreasonable demands will be
told in an advertisement in this newspaper. It con
cerns YOU. Watch for it!
