LOW WAGES CAUSE
 OF TEXTILE STRIKE
Mill Workers Testify Be- fore Arbitration Com
 mittee

Little Falls N Y, December 27.-Low wages. which made it impossible for them to earn enough money to live on despite long hours, was the direct cause in the big strike of the textile mills here, according to the testimony today of a score of witnesses before members of the state board of arbitration, who are acting as mediators. The strike has been in progress for months and has resulted in frequent outbreaks Men, women and girls who appeared as wit iesses, united in saying their only griev- ance related to wages.
 All of the witnesses are members of the Industrial Workers of the World. were born in Europe and have been in this country from one to 10 years. Most of them were examined through inter preters. They were given wide range in testifying but their stories varied little.
 Practically all of the witnesses were piece hands. None of them received more than s1l week. When the law limiting their work to 54 hours went into effect, they testified that wages had fallen as low as S7 and S6 week, and lower in some cases.
 Their demands which they said led to the strike,a were that they should receive 60 hours pay for 54 hours work, and 15 per cent increase for piece work. te
 Several night workers testified that they worked 13 hours with half an hour off for lunch and received $10 and Sll a week.
 Tena Osli, aged 1s worked from 6 a. m. until D. m. on piece work. She said she was not compelled to work that number of hours, but did it to make more money. She took five inin- lites for lunch at noon, although per- mitted to take an hour. Working thus, she said she made s6 and S6.50 a week.
 Ashillo Strambo. aged IS, was one cf the typical spinners sworn She said that before the 54-hollr law went into effect she made s7.5o a week and after ward but $6.I5.
 Giuseppi Gismond said that when work was slack he made only S3 and s4 week. When the mill was running well he made as high as sl0 a week.
 Testimony of the other witnesses was along practically the same Hines.

PUSH STATISTICAL
 WORK VIGOROUSLY Heads of Mortuary and Vital Statistics Begin
 Active Campaign

Montgomery, December 27.-(Speclal)
 An inkling of what it costs the state
 to assemble vital and mortuary statis
 tics is shown in the fact that the state board of health, working through tile
 department of statistics, has expended
 more than 5000 in postage to procure reports of births, deaths and infectious
 diseases from physicians and house. wives during the year 1913.
 Dr. II. G. Perry, head of the statisti- cal department, and his clerical force, began Friday morning getting out blank reports and stamped envelopes to more than 5000 midwives and about 2500 doctors In every county of the state Each one will receive F lstamped envelopes, 80 birth blanks, 20 death blanks and about 20 infectious. disease blanks once a month the mid wives and physicians are requested to submit reports to the department on these blanks.
 The postage costs more than $20n0, Including the expense incurred in send ling out the supplies, and the sum in lvested in the stamped envelopes for return.
 | Some idea of the enormous quantity
 of supplies distributed is conveyed by the ldcL iudt eiiS ucPoi ehiche, III VI ioeA to meet the necessities, ordered 150,006 birth blanks, 75,000 death blanks and
 S0 900 stamped envelopes. | Dr. Perry said that the department
 expects to push the statistical work
 more vigorously this year than ever before and midwives and dictors will
 be held accountable if they fail to com
 ply with the law requiring monthly re ports. He expects to have all the sup
 plies distributed during the first few l. idayS of January.

 MT Ehler in discussing the work of the committee on amateurism declared that there was twilight zone within which the application of the law Is not always simple. or clear.
 "The trouble" he said, does not arise so much out of the difficulty of determining whether an actual viola tion of the letter or the law has oc- cured but whether there 1ias been a violation of the spirit of the rule. That there is no widespread demand for lib- eralizing the amateur law is the view of the committee. on the contrary sev- erai events seem to indicate a ten dency 10 uphold the present standards and to extend the benefits of co-opef- ation to that end"

 Glen Warner, athletic coach at Car llsle, declared during tonights discus sion that baseball in colleges should be abolished.
 "Our experience at Carlisle has con- vinced Us that instead of baseball making men of Indians, it is more apt to make buns of them. l speak not of baseball ill colleges, but the professional game the student gets into arter leaving col lege. So we abolished baseball at Carl isle. We substituted for baseball the game of Ia crosse. really believe the only solution of the baseball evil in our colleges is to substitute a game that is not so professional"
 This indictment of baseball resulted ill the appointment of committee of three to take up the baseball matter.

COACH OF MINNESOTA FOOT BALL TEAM MAKES REPORT TO NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ASSOCIATION

New York, December 27-Praise for the 1912 football rules with the statement that they made possible the best game of football ever played by American eol- leges," was expressed by Henry L. Will Hams, coach of the University of Mime sota football team, in his report today before the National Collegiate Athlelic mittee.t The association with delegates from nearly 90 colleges and universities present, met here for it's seventh annual session.
 MT. Williams told of the difficulties that had to be overcome and of the many rad ical changes that were made, all of which he said, proved most fortunate. For several years back, he said, the prop CT adjustment of the balance between of fense and defense, with just the right equilibrium between these forces, has been a serious problem. The advantage, he contended, had been on the side of the defense, and 1t had been we'll recog- nized that as the goal line was ap- preached the defense became stronger through the drawing defensive backs to touchdowns by equally balanced teams was exceedingly difficult. For these req sons, he said, the rules were changed to give four downs in ten yards instead of three, a change which he characterized as the most important and beneficial in troduced since the ten yard rule was adoDfad
