ORGANIZED BALL PLAYERS.

The opening of the next baseball season will probably find the players organized along lines somewhat similar to labor unions, and perhaps they will seek a charter from the American Federation of Labor. The press reports say that it is not the intention of the promoters to enter into a competitive scheme, as did the old brotherhood of ball players, but they will leave the matter of getting the money for salaries to the owners of the league teams, the mission of the new organization being to relieve some of the objectionable conditions under which many of the players are forced to exist. All ball players are not Raymonds, Three-Fingered Browns or Johnny Klings, and therefore can not dictate to their employers as individuals. As members of an organization in which the great majority will doubtless be enrolled, they will be able to send a committee that will get a respectful hearing instead of the summary dismissal. For a baseball player's contract is somewhat like the white man and the Indian and turkey and buzzard. It all reads one way.-Houston Labor Journal.
