Gardiner Me, Dec. u.-(Special)-The
season of 1918 has been one of the most
successful for some years for the Gardi-
ner High football team. the game with
Westbrook being the only one dropped
this season. The game was pulled OF
under the most adverse conditions posi-
BILE, Gardiner being shy two of her
strong players, Brisk and Atkins. The
Cony-Gardiner game at Gardiner, which
resulted in a victory for Gardiner, I to O.,
was the most strenuous of the season,
and although hotly contested by both
sides, was one of the eleanest played be-
tween the teams for many years.
The game with Westbrook Seminary
resulted in scoreless tie and it is
questionable as to whether 'Shep" has
recovered sufficiently from his surprise
to become normal Westbrook had one
of the strongest prep" school elevens in
the State, having held Portland to a to
score.
The second game with Cony, at Au-
gusta, was disputed. Gony claiming the
game to e-hut the game was awarded
to Gardiner / to 0. by the referee, on
account of the Cony lads leaving the
ground before the close. This game
would appear to be a case for the board
of arbitration, which was created to set
tie disputes between these schools
Gardiner win lose but three men during
the coming season, ]. Talbot, Dulac and
Libby. This will leave Capt elect
o'Brien, Brisk, stonier. Atkins. P. Tai

the inside Of the house was pretty we'll
burnt out.
There had been, however. no loss of
life-every person had been success
fully rescued from the burning build
ing, and a fireman, grimed with smoke
and SCOT, had just remarked to his
mate, THAT job is well done There
is not a living soul in the house."
when through the smoke and flames
came the wall of a cat.
"A cat" exclaimed the man, poor
beast! must have a try for her.
and he replaced his brazen helmet.
DO not be so foolish, jerks" said
the mate Your life is worth more
than miserable cats"
Il am not going to let any animal
roast to death if I can save it," re-
turned jerks quietly, as he once more
sprang into the burning house.
Guided by the poor cats shrieks,
which were getting more and more
agonized he CROPPED his way to the
basement of the building, and there
found a fine tabby sitting on a basket
full Of kittens, which her mother-love
would not allow her to desert.
In another minute the fireman was
safely in the street with the cat and
her kittens in his arms, and the crowd
set up a hearty cheer as they saw him
emerge with his strange burden.
"She is a brave old girl" said the
fireman as he placed the little family
in a place of safety, and dried the poor
cats fur, which was drenched with
water. She deserved saving, for she
was pretty nearly drowned as we'll as
roasted, poor beast. and yet she would
not leave those kittens, though she
could have saved her own life easily
enough."-The Argus.

STRIKERS REJECT
COMMISSION OFFER
End of First Week of Gar
ment Workers Strike.
Shop Attacked

New York, January 4.--The first week
of the garment workers strike in this
city ended tonight with an announce
ment by the Chamber of Commerce that
its offer to appoint a commission TO
investigate impartially wages. hours
and working conditions in comparison
with competitive1 markets" in the
clothing industries had been rejected
by the strikers. Under this plan the
Chamber of Commerce had hoped TO
call truce until the commission COM
pleted its work and its decision was
then to be binding to both sides.
Thomas A Rickert, president of the
United Male Garment Workers of
America, commenting on the strikers
rejection of the Chamber of Commerce
offer, declared that an investigation
by such a commission was "out of the
question: because the commission
would not have power to enforce its
findings. He said the strike would be
kept up until demands for better wages
and reduced hours were granted. If
these concessions were made. he said,
the strikers might consent to modify
their other demands. Labor leaders
estimated the number of operatives
out tonight at about lO7, 900.
A crowd of idle men today attacked
clothing shop just off Broadway
where 100 operatives had refused to
quit work. Police reserves with
drawn clubs swept forward into a show
er of rocks and decayed fruit and dis
persed the trouble makers. No one
was seriously hurt.
