ang of Veach of Detroit, the heavy

left fielders? In these days of. pre
dominance of left handed batter of

Jltss arid less important in the scheme

i. a Burns cleverness at bat and at ex
Si trading bases on balls, worrying

S power. Veach, who now figures ahead
of all the left fielders, earns his lead

the increasing fielding weaknesses.

nient,' not only in the fiel(J, but as

fact is not liable to hurt Wljitted's
playing in the slightest, as he is a
man who works harder for the team
than for himself. Pittsburgh is well
fortified in having Stengel, Jackson
and Bigbce, but no matter how we
strike an average of the three it does
not make the team look strong. The
Cubs are weakest and left field is
liable to remain, a weak spot, although
Mann can do fairly well out there and
Flack can "field and throw. '.
vThe lineup is -not' formidable, but
its defensive 'strtngth is above aver
age. We wjjl find in the next study
that the center fielders contribute
much more to the offensive 'strength
than do their brothers in left.

Hard coal will be scarce in Omaha

firms and householders.-
William Potter, fuel administrator
for Pennsylvania, in a letter to the
Nebraska fuel administration, states
is opinion that this section of the
country shrould be taken care of with
bituminous coal and should be per
mitted, to have anthracite coal only
out of what surplus may.be left after
the regular anthracite region shall
have been supplied.
recently a committee of three men
was appointed by the federal admin
istration to regulate the output of the
anthracite fields 'ins the eat and to
allot such Quantities of hard coal to
given districts as may be absolutely
necessary. , ;
Mr, Potter, m his letter to Mr. Ken-
nedy,,says he has bent every effort
toward obtaining the present ruline
from Washington namely, no anthra
cite shall g"o out of the Buffalo Gate
ways to Lower Canada, the vest and
the northwest, except from such sur
plus as may accrue after the regular
anthracite region has been supplied.

NONPARTISAN HEAD
TIES OP TO LI. .
Townley's Deal'" With Anar
chists Rejected by Farmers
of North Dakota Last
, Summer.
Wahoo, Neb. April 5- To' the
Edtior of The Bee: Those who have
been fighting the Nonpartisan
league in North Dakota claim that
its leaders have tried to affiliate the
Industrial Workers of the World
with the league. I have never heard
of any of the league denying that
statement. There seems to bey a
good deal of evidence with which
Townley and his associates could be
convicted of being a good deal more
closely associated with the Idustrial
Workers of the World than the farm
ers of Nebraska care to be. I want
to give your readers a ,few facts on
that point.
Arthur LeSeuer has been, from the
beginning, "and is now, one of the
attorneys for the league and perhaps
the chief counselloj of Townley him
self. In fact it is said that he is now
manager of publicity for the league.
LeSeuer was - active with the In
dustrial Workers of the World in the,
riots at Minot, N. D., a few years
ago.
LeSeuers's Deal With I. W. W.
I have in may possession a phamph
let printed which states' that at
a meeting of the Industrial Workers
of the World last summer a' motion
was made and carried as follows:
"That we give thefloor to Arthur
LeSeuer to explain what grounds are
on which we can meet and come to
an understanding ,with the Non
partisan league in regard to work
ing conditions in the harvest fields
of North Dakota. Carried."
Arthur LeSeuer made the follow
ing statement: "That farmers of
North Dakota would be willing to
pay a wage of $5" for a 10-hour day.
Also that if we can c6ie to some
understanding with the Nonpartisan
league of North Dakota, it will mean
the balance of power will be shifted
from the state government to the In
dustrial Workers of the Vorld and
the Nonpartisan league."
On June 2 the daily paper, owned
by the Nonpartisan league of Fargo,
N, D., announced that a committee
had been appointed from the Nonpar
tisan league to meet a committee from
the Industrial Workers of -the World
for the purpose of carrying out the
LeSeuer proposition.
Repudiated by Farmers.
It is only fair to the North Da
kota farmers to say that they re
pudiated the proposition which Town
ley had tried to make, and there was
such severe criticism of it that Town
leylwas obliged to repudiate it him
self. 4
A little more evidence along
this line might be interesting. In
'Solidarity,' the official organ of the
Industrial Workers of the World,
published in Chicago, June 21, 1917,
the following matter appeared:
The tentative agreement between
the Nonpartisan league and the Ap
ricultural Workers Industrial union,
No. 400. was drafted ly joint com
rryttees selected to represent both
organizations. It is 'expected that this
agreement will cover, the harvest
season. That it will establish for the
time in the harvest fields a uniform
scale."
Do the farmers of Nebraska want
union with the Industrial Workers
of the World? ,v
Unless these socialists and tormer
associates of the. Industrial Workers
of the World can give us some farm
ers' organization which is better than
we have now let vs pass it up and go
ort working out our problems as we
have for years gone by, during which
the state has grown from a territory,

the invasion and sub jugation of the United States are now on
