Southern France Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 12, 1945, Nice, Provence Alpes Cote d�?TAzur                               Saturday May 12, 1945the stars and stripes players May have to show Union card w h co plan Clicks by Vincent x. Flaherty in the sporting Newt Washington May 11�?Cio president Philip Murray has taken under advisement a proposal to unionist professional baseball. A gentleman properly identified by the Cio of the Middle went stepped into Murray s office the other Day and discussed the probability of setting up a committee whose function would be to investigate baseball and sound omit certain sources Here and there. The gentleman former president of a minor league and founder of league came to Washington As the result of players from the 6t Louis cardinals the Brooklyn dodgers and new York Yankees sounding out the Cio on the Possler Buttles of unionised baseball. The visit of the players was spurred by the old and unhappy lament that baseball is infuse to its hired help. And so the wheels Are under Way toward organising baseball s hired hands. I asked the gentleman from the Middle West who wishes to remain Anonymous what he planned to do about professional football Well get around to football Quot of he sat a if things work out All right for us in baseball Well get around to football football players Are underpaid  but once the Cio makes up its mind Here a what might happen ticket takers and ticket Sellers employed at five Bucks per Day will be rounded up unionized and upped to ten Bucks per Day. The Union will get to the Ushers and take them in Tow. After that the rest is simple. If some of the players get Balky and dont want a Union card the Ushers ticket takers Etc., will walk out the electricians will turn out the lights and everybody la go Home. Guys with big signs will immediately Start parading up and Down in front of the Gates of big league Ball Parks proclaiming to the world that baseball is unfair Etc. What to expect supposing All of this comes to pass. Here a what one might expect a it of clock whistle on the Center Field Fence time and a half pay for the players for extra inning games vacations with pay sick leave pensions grievance committees like the Cooper Brothers real contracts and of course dues. Can you imagine Joe Mccarthy protesting to the chapter president that dutch Leonard can t pitch for Washington on some specific Day because his dues Ain t paid or the players walking out in High dudgeon when Bill Mcgowan rules one against them sit Down strikes time clocks or what about a Rule against extra innings score tied 0�?0 in the ninth the1 crowd is cheering wildly the whistle wows the Ball players pocket their gloves lug off their bats and beat it for Home.
