1 Monday afternoon at four o’clock,
the fourth time since 1943 such ac-
; tion has been taken to avoid a na
tionwide strike. The President’s or
der ol seizure was largely a paper
transaction until a settlement can be
made.
The current rail dispute has been
hanging fire for seventeen months,
involving 300,000 workers in three
groups—conductors, trainmen and
yardmen. *They are demanding a
raise :n wages and shorter work
weeks Government will retain pos
session of the railroads until the dis
pute is settled, and this is what the
unions hoped would happen. They
hope to get better terms froiji our
pro-labor Administration than they
have been able to get from manage-

Clinton Little Leaguers
Have Wonderful Time
By COACH D. 8. TEMPLETON
Clinton Little Leaguers arrived
home at 12:40 a. m. Monday morn
ing from Williamsport, Pa., a tired
but happy bunch ofTittle boys. They
want the oeople of Clinton and Jo
anna to know how much they and
the coaches appreciated the more
than seventy telegrams sent them
while in Williamsport.
Clinton’s Little Leaguers fought
against odds all the way in the tour
nament as they were the smallest
boys in size to appear on the field
•f play. All of the boys showed up
exceptionally well that piayed. The
pitching of Billy Smith and kke field
ing of Joe Chafin stood out in the
field while the hitting of Dusty
Reaves,- Benji Timmons and Dennis
Bennett was outstanding considering
the fact that these boys bat left-
handed and they got hits against the
left-handed colored boy from Bridge
port, Conri. who was five feet nine
inches tall and weighed 150 lbs.
This same Bridgeport, Conn, team
defeated Illinois on Friday to go into
the finals against Texas to whom
they lost 2-1 for the championship
I of the U. S. in Little League Base-
iballe.
I The people of Williamsport prac-
i tically turned the town over to the
j Little Leaguers. Nothing was too
; good for each of the little boys that
! represented the states of Texas, Il
linois, Fla., S. C., Conn., Pa., R. I.
j and Maryland. Each boy in the tour-
I nament was given new baseball
shoes, baseball cap, and Little League
! “T” shirt By U. S. Rubber Company.
The Little Leaguers would like to
thank Itoral Btaaaers ter tk« invi
tation to eat with them on Lake
Greenwood and Leland Young for
the passes he is going to give them to
the theaters.
