which were presented at the last regular
conference Of the different schools In
the valley. looking forward to the estab-
llshment OF base bali upon saner basis.
The resolutions provide that all may par
ticipate In collegiate base ball who have
only accepted expense money for their
services during the summer.
The ambiguity arising from the term
expense was called TO the attention OF
the board. but II Is quite likely that Ne

An informal discussion was held, but no
action taken At this date. owing TO the
fact that several members Of the board
were not present at the meeting and the
members desired longer time In which 10

LAWRENCE. Mass, Jan. 15.-Dis-
orders before the gates OF the great tex
tile mills Of Lawrence became so frequent
and inenacing today that two companies
Of militia were called from the armory
to ASSIST the police IN controlling the

The trouble today began with an at
tempt by the strikers to rush the doors

Prospect wooden mills. The attempt al
both places were repulsed by the police,
