danger their chances Of victory by play
ing go soon after the Harvard game.

December 1, proposed The Yale men
would give no definite answer 10 this

WASHINGTON. Oct 11.=That the Amer
lean working man has not been the only
sufferer from hard times is made appar-
ent by a report to the state department
from Stephen H. Angel, United States
commercial agent at Boubaid, France.
He said that the figures Of the central
labor bureau at Paris shows that the
labor situation throughout France on
August II last appeared to be that large
number of workmen and Iaborers was
without employment only a small
portion of those who have for some
time been in forced idIeness having
resumed their occupations. Six hundred
and f1fty-fou labor unions with mem
bership of 129, 432 reporting to the cen
trail office, it appeared that IA per cent
of the labOrers we're without work. OF
these unions fifty-three report the situa-
ton as worse than last year. In the agri-
cultural districts 81 per cent of the labor
were without employment and in the
wine districts of Cher and HerauIt the
percentage was increased to 70 and so
per cent respectively, the crisis resulting
from the low price of wine.
