FOOTBALL BATTLE
 IN DINING ROOM
Veteran Walter Camp and Capt. Ted Coy Work New Moves with Line-Up of Oyster Crackers.

New Haven. Nov e.-The act of hero worshipping is more conscious than the generalization of the hero business. This was interestingly illus trated at a central cafe yesterday at the lunch hour. Hungry men quickly entered to satisfy their appetites only to daily near the entrance. The walt CTS were equally distracted The more familiar patrons of the place were tip ped off to the presence of two men in earnest conversation A group of prominent lawyers from Hartford, one of them former member of Congress and another a former judge on the bench, came hustling in with their cli- ent to hang back with the slowly nov ing bunch A smooth laced young man approached the stern looking ex- Congressman and whispered in shis ear. He turned quickly to the table holding the two earnest takers He moved shoulders and inwardly marvelling at their mental concentration He re- Iuctantly moved into the adjoining room but was quick to take a chair at an empty table which would give him a prolonged view of the men near by.
 It was a rubber-neck luncheon crowd The two men who excited this interest were the veteran football gen. eral. Walter Camp. and his latest prodigy. Captain Coy. There was a mass of papers on the table near their elbows but In the center of the table was a lineup of oyster crackers. each in its place and ready to move at the movement of the Camp index finger. Captain Coy settled his expressive chin in the hollow of his hand and watched The battle was on and not even the fire bells could have called 1t off. An attempt on Coy's part to move a cracker to another point and thus rearrange the battle line was in- terrupted by the veteran. who de- murred in low but earnest tones. vari- ous attempts on the part of the waiter to place an order of scollops before them were ignored When at last a satisfied smile passed over the face of Mr. Camp. 1t was greeted by a nod of conviction from Captain Coy and ian other little job for the undertaker'' had been outlined.
 From the spirit in which the two famous football heroes fell to their de- 1ayed lunch, it was taken for granted by those present and still watchful that the abolishment of the game is not in sight The only forward pass which the players indulged in was when Camp outreached Coy and got the luncheon check from the waiter. This made the score one touchdown to nothing

 Another weapon that will be used against the steel trust will be a war against the Pitsbturg Steamship Com pany known as the Steel Trust Fleet" which carries most of the ore of. the trust The strongest efforts will be made to cripple the lake service of the ployes.
 The labor leaders declare the condi tions will never be more propitious for fight against the steel trust than 1t is now. The A. F. of L. Is in good shape financially but what the labor leaders are counting on for success most strongly Is the ''state of mind" throughout the labor world resulting from the crisis in which President Secretary Morrison are now involved by reason of their violation of the court injunction and prison sentences that stand against them-
 This has made the time opportune they declare for a campaign of un- lionization throughout the entire coun- try The New York labor leaders have promised the A. F. of L. every as- sistance and they have urged upon cessity of sending the ablest organi- gers in the whole movement to the Pittsburg field These organizers will be drawn from all over the country and they will establish headquarters in Pftsburg from which the most sweep ing movement ever attempted by the federation will be carried on-
