intercollegiate Soccer.

The intercollegiate soccer season start
ed last week and will continue until
some time in April At all of the col
iepes in the association there is more
interest in soccer this year than ever
before. In fact, soccer looks to be the
one minor sport which is likely to be-
come a major sport in the near future.
The growth of interest in this game
since its introduction less than ten years
ago has been really phenomenal and at
Yale, Pennsylvania and Princeton there
is usually some so to 100 candidates for
the teams In fact, some of the rugby
Goa ches consider the game so valuable
that they have advised candidates for
college rugby to played association foot
ball instead of engaging in preliminary
spring training.

pute has been referred to a special conf
mittee with instructions to make a conf
plete investigation of the subject.
In the meantime there is more interest
in rowing at Pennsylvania than there
has been for a great many years. When
Coach Ward began outdoor practice last
week he had SO many rowing candidates
left that he had to send eight crews on
the water. This number. of course. will
be greatly reduced when Ward makes
his first cut in candidates.
Why Cornell Is Champion.
In spite of the fact that Cornell won
the championship of the intercollegiate
Basket Ball Association, two minor col
leges, Wesleyan and Union, in addition
to West Point and Annapolis, claimed
that their teams are entitled to cham
pionship honors, in spite of the fact that
they were not members of the intercol-
legiate association. They base their ar
gument for notice on the fact that they
beat members of the association and that
their records for the season are superior
to those of Cornell.
The writer has very little patience with
such arguments. Every year some Of the
minor colleges. because of having beaten
the base. ball team of the big universities,
thereby lay claim to the INTERCOLLEGIATE
base ball championship. There is really
no justification for setting up such claims.
because base ball is such an uncertain
sport that the best of teams Is liable TO
defeat at critical moments. The inter
collegiate basket ball championship is
annually awarded to the team which wins
the championship of the association
Minor college teams really have no right
to consideration unless they have gone
through the same schedule as the college
winning the title. Probably majority
of the basket ball cages of the minor
colleges are not the regulation size, ana
when one of the big universities plays
them a friendly game in small cage
to which they are not accustomed the
home team is very likely to win. whereas
the result might and undoubtedly would
be far different if the contending small
colleges played the same schedule as IT'S
big rival and under the same regulations
One might as well argue that because
some minor league team defeats major
league champion in an exhibition or early
season game it is thereby entitled to be
ranked as champion. The condition
under which the games are played make
all the difference in the world. wesleyan
and Union undoubtedly have good basket
ball teams, but to say that they are
thereby entitled to be ranked as inter-
collegiate champions is stretching the

FAvoRs MINIMUM WAGE.

commission at the hearing at Chicago,
said he favored a national minimum

states had adopted similar legislation.
Rubens described alleged activities by
women among the several hundred girls
employed in his plant. He said these
women were attempting to lure girls to
lead immoral lives.
A number of working women de
scribed how they lived on wages of from
SO to So a week. One woman testified
that she worked twelve hours day fol
$40 a week.

NEW LAW A BENEFIT.

The belief is that under the new coal
mining law there will be perceptible
decrease in the number of lives lost in
coal mining in 1913 over previous years,
as every known safeguard for protecting
the men is included in the new bill,
which has just passed the nineteenth
general assembly.
The loss of life in Colorado coal mines
has been very heavy every year. In
1911 there were sc men killed under
ground and five on the surface, and in
1912 there were 90 killed in the mines
and three on the surface. There were
305 injured in 1911 and $50 in 1912.
This record shows that to every 1000
employees, 6.35 were killed in 1911 and
1866 in 1872 while to each 1000 there
were injured 21.3 in. 1911 and 25.6 in
1912 These deaths made. 43 widows
and also made ia children fatherless in
1911, and 81 widows and 1S4 children
fatherless in 1912
John Mitchell when recently in Den
yer. declared that the loss of life in
Colorado coal mines was greater in ratio
than any state in the Union and ex-
ceeded that in any foreign country. 1t
is believed by Senator Pearson, himself
former coal miner and one of the
authors of the new law that the new
law will as nearly eliminate deaths and
accidents in coal mines as it is possible
to do with safeguards.
The increase in deaths and injuries
of 1912 over 1911 was marked and
caused much comment and concern. be
cause there was a decrease in the mum.
her employed. In 1911 there were H.
315 people employed in and around coal
mines. and in 1912 there were 1880
In 1911 was the dust explosion in the
(nkp1a1p mine causing deaths and
in 1912 was the gas explosion in the
Hastings mine. causing - deaths. BY
the new law a mine must be examined
before each shift goes to work. and
there are other provisions that, it is be-
lieved. will prevent a repetition of the
Cokedale and Hastings disasters, as well
as many similar catastrophes.

ONE UNION ON RAILROADS.

Union of all railroad employees in one
strong organization was predicted by
W. S. Carter. president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
einemen, in speech to railroad men
brought to New York by the hearings
in the firemens wage arbitration.
Il predict that we shall soon see the
day when all railroad employees shall
unite in one strong organization" said
President Carter In my opinion the
rank and file of the organizations would
unite today if they were permitted to
do so by certain of their leaders, and
if these leaders prevent the union much
longer. new leaders will arise under
whom all differences will be settled and
one big brotherhood formed
There are four railroad organizations
in the West that are constantly limiting
that the firemen have had the center of
the stage long enough. Each of these
organizations will take up the question
of wages and Working conditions in
turn, and each will require a years time
in which to settle their questions with
their employers Why can they not get
together and settle all the questions of
all in one year instead of spending four
years on the settlement"

SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE.

Jacksonville. Fla.-The ninth annual
C;lild Labor Conference has adjourned
after the most successful meeting ever
held in the history of the National Child
Labor committee. Thirty-one states
were represented by delegates in the
conference DIR. McKelway, southern
gecretary of the National Child Labor
committee, in one of the sessions, spoke
of the changed attitude of the southern
delegates. no longer a little inclined to
he on the defensive. but are unsparing
in their criticism of their own state con-
ditions. Convincing addresses were
made emphasizing the opinion that in
dustry should be compelled to pay its
way and bear the burden of the dis
ablcd workers, of the women widowed
by industrial accidents. and of the work
ers who do not now receive from indus
try wage that will support their fam
lilies. Reference was made to the low
ering of adult wages by the employment
of children, and an Illuminating discus
sion along these lines brought out many
facts on the effect of child
labor upon industry as whole.

PHILLIPS A CANDIDATE.

Dr. d. Il. Phillips, member OF the
school beard and whose term expires
with the coming election is a candidate
to succeed himself Union labor is look
ing into the record of Dr.. Phillips, and
in doing so large number of leaders in
labor circles met with DR.. Phillips Tues
day evening and listened to him tell of
what he mad done for labor while in the
position of school director Among
hose present who quizzed DR.. Phillips
about his work were c. j. Common,
president of the Steamfitters; Peter
Johns, business agent of the Building
Trades Council Frank A. Bryan. busi-
ness agent of the Plumbers union;
Thomas T. Rodgers, secretary OF the Al
lied Printing Trades Council; e. Z.
Stoughton, president of the Allied Print
ing Trades Council and holding the same
position in Union Label League; r. Y.
Harrison, of the Bookbinders' union;
Business Agent James of the Carpen-
ters' union: Fred Vessel, business agent
of Bartenders' union; J. A. Conkle, ed
itor The United Labor Bulletin, and sew
eral ether members of organized labor.
The representatives went into the con-
duct of the schools of the city, and the
labor men expressed themselves very IA
vorably with the attitude of the board.
This was especially true of the building
trades, whose representatives said that
the school board had made it a rule TO
have all work done by day labor ana
this they found to be very satisfactory
to the board. Day work is strongly OPP
posed by contractors, and they BRING
great influence to bear on the board to
abolish the practice, but without sue
cess. The result is that all work is giv-
en- to union men.
The trade schools also came up for
discussion in reviewing the work of tine
directors 1t was shown that union men
are at the head OF the printing depart
ment and carpenter department, ana
while the head of the plumbing depart
ment is not union man at present, II
is because he was an employer when he
took the place. Previous to that tme
he was a union man, and we are IN
formed that he has recently made ap-
plication to again become member OF
| the oreaniZation Those learning the
printing trade in the trade school are
aDurentice members of the Typograph-
| ical union
The matter of school books also came
up for discussion. Many of the school
books are made by non-union printing
houses and these were objected TO Dy
the members OF the printing trades pres
ent While this is an opportune time
to bring such matters as these before
the candidates for election as well as
the board itself. yet it is to be regretted
that campaign to have union-made
school books was not made during the
years past by the officers of the printing
trades organizations.
From the sentiment expressed by the
members of organized labor present, IL
anpears that the attitude of DR.. Phillips
was satisfactory.
Stephen Knight, whose term also eN-
pires at the same time, will be a candi-
date for reelection. There will be other
candidates announce themselves later.

PLANS CUT IN RATES.

Washington-The lowering of the
parcel post rates is indicated by the ac-
tion of the postofIice department in call
ing for data on traffic and receipts from
all towns where the postal business is
above $1,000 year. 1t is rumored that
the postmaster general may reduce
rates providing it meets with the ap-
proval of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. This will be little more than
a formality. for If the postmaster gen
eral recommends cut in the rates no
objection will be offered by the COM
mission. Experts maintain that on short
haul business the rate can be greatly
lowered and the revenues largely in
creased thereby.
