Clouds, the folks turned out to see the

lias gono out that tho Sox ate ready to
fcop tho 'cliamplonshlp nnd the bugs have
a keen desire to see how it is done,
Two hours before game time the
luleachcra wore loaded and the pavilions
Bnowcd eIkiis of 'occupancy. The cus
tomary band played customary music,
-i and, the f&ns were in condition to ap
preciate It.
The teams were late in appearing.

ment that he offered a $M0 watch to"
tho Cincinnati player ,jvlio brolie up
'the game this afternoon' and ?o00 to

These money-mad guys sure will try to
get that money.
Weatller Right
Slier was chosen to do the hurling
nnd Moran said tho day was ideal for
him. Hod always goes big when clouds
nre in tha sky and tho atmosphere is
murky.
"I feel sure ho will win today," said
Pat, befora the gume.- "It's time for
nur hard luck to end. That one final
gnme is harder to grab than the other
four." ,
Fat had a right to kick because he
has lost two games and a watch charm
this week.
Gleason announced confidently before
the game that everything was over so
far as tho Sox were concerned. "Get
(ready to go back to Cincinnati," he
said- "Williams will beat them today
because be is too good n pitcher to lose
three in n row. The boys aro hitting
the ball, have their minds on their
work and that's enough for me. Kerr
will win the final game tomorrow."
Sox Confident
There Is a feeling that tho Sox will
te this year's champions, but you never
ton tell.
If they hit today, the ball will travol,
.for a high wind is blowing; down the
field and high pop flies will be carried
quite a distance.

Proposed Investigation of Nation-Wide Strike Goes
Before General Committee of Industrial

HOPEFUL TONE AS ASSEMBLY GETS DOWN TO WORK;

to the future work of the conference. There was friction visible and a
disposition on the labor side perhaps unnecessary to display a chip on the
left shoulder, but it was ephemeral, and left, I think, no permanent
impress.
On very high authority I am per
mitted to say that the employers' group
of the industrial conference intends to
throw nil doors wide open. They will
lay their cards face upward on the
tnblo for the inspection of every player
in this gnme in which industrial peace
and prosperity aro tho stakes.
Particularly will they invite the in
spection of the lnbor members to their
exhibit, .lust bow soon this may occur
is uncertain. The form thnt it will
take was under discussion last night
nnd this morning. -
Up to today the genernl situation
could his compared to the political out
look in Philadelphia n month prior- to
the nomination of Judge Patterson nnd i
Congressman Moore. Everything had
been in a state ol litis, lincli group
hnd been waiting to sec what tho othet
groups would do.
The hurried convocation Qt this in
dustrial conference has not been con
ducive to rapidity of action. Its mem
bers have barely become acquainted ,
some not at all. I'pon adjournment
yesterday, after a session lasting levs
than an hour, the chnirman. Secretary
Lane, urged the delegates to get to
gether in n social way. In other words,
"to mix It up." The idea seemed to
catcli, on.
Foremost among the mixers was John
I). Rockefeller, Jr., who, together with
Frederick P. Fish, of Uoston : S. Pem
berton Hutchinson, of Philadelphia, nnd
Harry A. Wheeler, of Chicago, headed
directly for the labor section. Fort a
while it seemed like a fraternal re
union. Bernard 3L Bnruch innd Thomas
Chudbournc, of New York, who has
been elected chairman of the genernl
committee, both from the people's
group, nlso figured in the general sUr
about in the company of the laborites.

by several votes. N
The plurality gained by Hubert E.

been referred. It presents a delicate problem for

I' question will be sent out to the general body

While it is too early to indicate with any de
gree of accuracy what the conference itself would
do with the proposition, the probabilities are in
its rejection. The attitude of the peo-
pie's group was pretty clearly defined by ex-
President Eliot, of Harvard, in a dispassionate
plea that the conference get away from old

voiced by others.

Both uperatois and miner.- assumed u

adjust working conditions in the soft

Ohio, Indiana nnd Illinois. Tho con
ference ended within an hour because
of the absence of some of the dele

similar wage scales will be asked in
every other coal district of the United
States, cmplojing 1100,000 men. It is
possible also, the operators say, that
the anthracite miners will make similar
demands.
in addition to the new wnge scale,
the miners seek abolition of the so
called "penalty clnuse." This enforces
n penalty for violation of the agree
ment by cither side. It involves also
police protection at the mines. To
elimiunte the clause, the operators de
clare, would bo to open the industry
to "unrest nnd radicalism."
The mineis nlso want the ngreements
to expire each November 1 instead of
April 1. This the operators strongly
protest on the ground that the No
vember expiration would give the work
ers a virtual stranglehold on the indus
try when the mines are busiest.
