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. Police Pullers Practicing For Tug With'" Denver Cops Members of the Omaha police tug- of-war team now are practicing in earnest for their coming match with the Denver police team.

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!
