President John K. Tener of the Na- tional league is attempting to put an end to the barnstoriring trips of Na- tional league teams by asking the club owner to withdraw the permission which has been granted players to make such trips. The question will come before the National league meet- ing in December, but until then the only remedy lies with the club own- ers, and it is anticipated that they will take favorable action on President Tener’s suggestion. Yesterday he was talking with President Baker of the champion Phillies, and the Quaker City baseball man said he would at- tempt to do something about the mat- ter. The permission with regard to the Philadelphia players, he said' had been given for games that were to be played in the vicinity of Philadelphia { and no games were to be played in his city. The Phillies played here last Bunday and are scheduled to appear again tomorrow, but it may be that the game with the Lincoln Giants will be qtmllad off. SAM ROSS SIGNS WITH YANKEES.

WILL MAKE DEMANDS AGAIN NEXT SPRING Striking Machinists Hope to Be Better Organized By Then Beaten, but not discouraged, is the | sentiment of the strikers at the New Britain Machine company as they cheerfully admitted today that they in- tend to return to work at the factory Monday. It is expected that the great- er part of the remaining workmen who so valiently fought the cause of eight hours in this city, and remained true without leaving to seek work in other cities, will be received with open arms by the factory officials on application for work at the concern. Vote to Return. The strikers whose ranks were greatly diminished in numbers by a greater portion of workmen, unable to stand the strain or loafing about the city, met Thursday evening in the old stamping grounds. where the first meetings of rejoicing and confidence were held, and voted unanimously to go back to work again, thus severing the last thread of the nmow historic strike of the last five weeks. It is, hewever, with the utmost satisfaction that the men will know that the union card so long absent in the city, will re- ceive recognition at the concern, and no signs of discrimination will be shown by the officiais. One of the leaders of the strike movement was not certain today whether he would be hired back, but added that he in- tended to apply for employment. Union and Strength. Satisfaction on the outcome of the strike was manifested this morning at the headquarters of the Machinists’ union in Holmes & Hoffman’s block when a reporter called and interviewed Organizer Cedarholm, who has been in this city since the second week of the strike. P . Mr. Cedarholm assured his question- er that the union would continue to exist here, and also was certain that from its present ranks of over 500 it | would grow to a much larger number before spring rolls around. The organ- izer said despite the fact that the men had voted to return to wark, the form- ation of a union in this city was an achievement that they should feel proud of. Starting from a handful of fourteen men, it has grown rapidly and applications are being received daily from new prospects, and it is ex- pected that by spring the laboring class of the city will be in a position to again present their demands to the manufacturers and through organiz: tion have them granted. Mr. Cedar- holm said it was not the intent of an organization, such as is being perfected here to strike, this being the thing which they wish to obliterate, but if the manufacturers will not listen to just demands through arbitration methods then the union will order a strike and back its members up- “Would you say, Mr. Cedarholm, that a strike will occur again in the spring?”’ asked the reporter. “No, I would not say that, but T will say that demands will again be made on the factory owners for an increase,” hc replied. Detectives Were Active. Mr. Cedarholm, in his talk, spoke of the work of private detectives who attended the meetings of the strikers and in this manner the factory of- ficials were kept posted on what was transpiring. - At this juncture Mrs. Cedarholm, who is interested in the labor movement, told of a female de- tective who gained admittance to one of the halls during the progress of the strike at the Corbin Screw corpora- tion company. “But I spotted her and she was ordered out, and she went, you bet,” she added. Expect Complete Organization. “Is your union confined to the Ma- chine company entirely?” asked the reporter of Mr. Cedarholm. “No sir, it embraces most every shop in the city, and before we are through New Britain will have every mechanic in all trades organized and in this manner offset the claim of many that this city is the ‘cesspool of labor.’ It is our intention to make it a city where skilled labor will be glad to come and reside, where the men can earn as good wages as in other cities, and in this way the mer- chants will be benefited. This last | ight was fought cleanly and if the union wanted to be mean we \eould have kept two pickets at the factory (the Machine company), and thus eliminate the possibility of them se- curing men from out of town. The concern has suffered by the strike, in- asmuch as it has lost a number of first class mechanics who will not re- turn to the city to work long hours when they can enjoy eight hours in Bridgeport, Hartford and other cities.” Strike Fairly Iought. It can be said of the strike that it was conducted along fair lines by both sides. The factory officials from the outset maintained the open door policy and at no time did they turn a deaf ear to the demands of the strik- ers. They simply informed them at the beginning that the demands were excessive and could not be paid, and in doing this they assured the men than they were at liberty to return to work. On the part of the strikers it may be said that they also conducted the strike on business-like lines. There was no violence and a spirit of friend- liness ' exists between employe and employer today. W. C. T. U. NOTES.

Dr. Lucian H. Warner explained at length the administrative side of the proposed changes which while not re- ducing expenses would yield more for what is paid out. Dr. Herring, secretary of the coun- cil emphasized the need of business cfficiency and concentration of every effort to obtain the greatest results. He pointed out that new problems facing churches are: Growth of | social service; gradual elimination of the Bible from public schools, legal obstacles in the way of religious in- struction in the state universities, the readjustment of religious thought to meet the widening knowledge of our | time, the changing economic condi- | tions and the shifting socal em- | phasis in many directions. All these | and many others, he said, have got to be met. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The schedule,for the handball tour- nament, which opens on Monday night has been compléted.

On the 11th they attacked our position at Wanode Livade and were repulsed. They attacked and took a position at Pisant Boukka, which we retook in the course of the night, and they tried attacks with- out result on some of our positions near the passage of Kadi Boghaz. “On the 13th, at 1 o'clock in the morning, attacks supported by artil- lery were pronounced along the whole frontier. The attacks continued on the 14th and in the direction of Kadi Boghaz the Bulgarians pentrated four kilometers into our territory.

Greece apparently regards this as more im- portant than the offer of the Island \nf Cyprus, and it is feared in Athens that the allied troops have come too late into the Balkan field Bulgarian Coast Bombarded. Bombardment of the Bulgarian coast by an allied fleet raises hopes in England that the entente powers will not be content with landing troops in Saloniki, but may cause enough of a diversion elsewhere to engage a considerable body of Bul- garian troops.
