The Morgantown glass workers who
We're enioined by Judge Mason and
commanded to desist from all Efforts
to interfere with workmen under con-
tract to labor in the Jones plant have
been obeying both the spirit and the
letter Of the Injunction. AT the very
outset, they announced that there
would be no attempt to dodge or dis
obey the order of the court, and they
have stuck to that determination.
But their patience has been sorely
tried on more than one occasion. The
enjoined worlSmen say that men who
have allied themselves with the VIM
dow Glass Workers Alliance, and are
at wtgk, are anxious to justify their
position to men who have remained
faithful to the strike order, no matter

workman begins to present his argri-
ments.A naturally enough the enjoined
striker wants to answer with exptal

Steps win be. taken shortly, to ask

Another attempt similar to me
one made last year, viii be made
during the coming spring and suns
ner to unlonize the miners employ
ed by the different coal and coke
companies along the line Of the
Morgantowa & Kingwood railroadI
and through the region controller
by the Fairmont Coal Company.
According to Information received BY
coal men OF Morgantown, President
2. L. Lewis, of Wheeling, head OF
the miners union, has resolved TO
organize that part Of West virginia
as Ut has been giving the union no
end of trouble. situated just between
the anthracite fields Of Pennsylyahta
and the coal fields OF the southern
part OF West Virginia, in both OF
which sections the union has a
strong foothold.
at different times branches nave
been organized, once at Bretz, and.
again at Richards, but the local
companies have strenuousiys opposed
such organization and the locals
broke up. All during last summer
and early fail the union had three
organizers working upithe creek from
Morgantown, trying to form locals
In the fan when the trouble began
the line of the railroad. The same
organizers were working togetller
with others in the Fairmout field.
The attempt was unsuccessful, how
ever, and, the men were recalled late
in the fall when the trouble bsaa
to brew that later caused such 4
rnctton between the leaders Of the
union and ended in the fight over
the election at the annual convention
In indianapolis. When the attempt
was made last year to uuionize the
valley. the declaration was made
that the union had $4,000 in the
treasury to be spent In ORGANIZING
the whole section.

James Duncan to Assist in Ne

TO ARRIVE IN VERMONT TODAY
Barre and Montpelier Merchants Have
Already Begun to Suspend
Giving Credit

Montpelier, Nov. 19.-The lockout
situation in the granite industry is
practically unchanged but the various
unions in the city and Barre are for
tifying by appointing lock out com
mittees. The expectation now is that
James Duncan, the national secretary
will stop off at Mortified and will
visit Barre and this city on his way
home from Toronto, where he is at
tending the National Federation of
Labor convention. 1t is thought he
may reach here tonight or Saturday
and the hopeful feeling prevails to-
night that the men will be back at
work by next Monday morning.
Patrick f. Mccarthy, secretary and
treasurer of the Quarry Workers In
ternational association has returned
TO Barre from Toronto where he at
tended the national convention. About
500 men belonging to this union are
locked out and he left Toronto as
soon as he heard of the trouble. He
believes that Secretary Duncan should
come at once to headquarters in Bar
re and try TO settle the trouble. He
has telegraphed the situation to Mr..
Duncan but as yet has had no ans
wer from him.
Some of the merchants in this city
and Barre having in mind the possib-
ility of long season of idleness have
announced that beginning December
l they will sell goods for cash only.
This movement originated among the
meat and provision stores In Barre
especially where the men are paid
once in two weeks the provision and
grocery stores dc an immense credit

HARDEST BLOW YET
FOR GR|D|RON
GAME
Football Barred in New York
City Schools
RESTS WITH GENERAL BOARD
Sport is Declared Too Dangerous for
Lads of the City to Indulge
in Further

New York, Nov. l9.-Football as a
recognized sport by the official heads
of New York public schools has been
abolished
Action looking towards the elimina-
tion of the most popular branch OF
sport in the schools was taken yes
terday by the Board of Superintend-
ents of New York public schools at
meeting held at the Board OF Educa-
ton building, Fifty-ninth Street and
Park avenue.
The schools which are primarily af-
fected are Clinton, Stuyvesant, Town
send, Harris Hall, Morris, High school
of commerce, Erasmus Manual, Boys
High, Curtis and Commercial. The
action, however, will undoubtedly
have the effect OF the elimination OF
all school football from the city, as
the few private institutions having
scholastic teams will be unable to get
up a schedule of any pretentions with
out the cooperation of the high
schools of the city. Considering this,
II is believed to be a possibility that
the private schools will follow the
lead set by the Board of Superintend-
ents and also abolish the game.
