The petition of thè Chicago & Alton railroad to thè railroad labor board requesting thè abolitimi of thè eisrht hour day marks tha besmning of a battio between thè ratlroatìs and orsarUzed labor that may bave untold eonsequenees.

Why should not thè rallroads ask for tvhatever they tvant, aster thè amazing encouragement they havo had from thè august assemblago presided over by Judge Hooper? “A Pretty Game Indeed” The Alton, it is said, was selected to make these brazen requests because it is in thè banda of a receiver. Then other roads, not so situated, will ask thè sanie things. A pretty game, indeed! Sureiy it is time thè railroad labor board was scrapped. We shall see what thè board will do with this outrageous request, a contlnuance, clearly, of thè great Union hating drive of organized predetory power. But we wait with little hope of justice or reason, thè leopard can not change its spots and thè railroad labor board is not likeiy to change thè character of its decislons.
BIBE'S DI AFTER ALL MS NOI SO LARGE Reported 3ig Fines Another Wf Good Argument for Ball Players* Union. Bu WESTBROOK PEGLER (Copyright, by United News.) NEW YORK, Nov. 1. —Having no eueh incomes of our own to fret about, let’s help Balie Ruth with his winter worrying over thè season’s account of prosit and loss. There’s thè salary, often guessed at $75,000. but on batter authority, an item of about $50,000. And there’s his take on exhibltions and his home-run royalties, wliich latter item was disavowed when tlie arrangement began to cause criticism. Give him $5.000 from his literary and other inoidental efforts and then begln to subtract. He wa suspended for almost onethird of thè whole season. Suspended players do not draw pav during suspension. He was reported to bave had verv bad luck as a handicapper at thè tracks in thè spring. And recenti}- there is this belated report of & SIO.OOO fine for breaking training. From all these clroumstantial accounts they must let Babe Ruth have thè money to play with, not to keep. His lncome sounds big, even in a whisper, but shows less for six months’ work than that of a third-rate fìghter we could name. Let’s name him. Ile is Pepper Martin, who has run his shoestring abllity up into a palr of Cossack boots. But Martin didn’t sa!t a way s3o,eoe H.five all expenses this summer, he ought to bave a ni irdian. And Ruth erets no younger or better. if thè Yankee owners fined Ruth jie.ooo for anytliimr. thev created another argument in favor of thè players’ union. When thè judge is allowed to keep thè fines, he is too ready to say “Ten and costs; next case." Griffith to Officiate fi)i Timr* Spn-int DES MOINES, lowa. Nov. s.—John L.

You’ll marvel at the wearing qualities of INDIA CORDS and wonder how anybody can build a tire which will stand so much abuse and give such unerring Service. Other manufacturers try in vain to produce a tire that will equal INDIA for Service. It is simply impossible unless you get INDIAS.

WASTE CAUSES ' HIGH GASPRIGE.. DECLAREEXPERTS Annual Loss From Evaporation Is Seventy-Two Miliion , Gallons. High price of gasoline may bc attributed by some automobile owners to stock market manipulation or other susplcious practices, but perhaps the )eal cause is the waste accomi*nying the Storage and sale of the tuoi. Investigation by experts of the United States Bureau of Mines "and Enginers of a national asbestos manufacturing organization shows that there is a wastage of 200,000 gallons of gasoline each day. That meavis an annual loss of more than 72,000,000 gallons of fuel. At 20 cents a gallon, the experts figure, the annual economie loss in the Nation is $14,500,000! Although this is acarcely 2 per èent of the amount of gasoline consume! annually in thè United States, it is enough to run an automobile seven times back and forth between the earth and sun. The cause of this great wastage, say the investigators, is the lack of heat insulation around the 775 tanks storIng the fuél in various parts of the country. The oil in the uninsu!ated tanks is subject to evaporation from the day’s heat and there is a resultant loss of some 6.000,000 gallons a month.
