MINERS FIGHT CONSUMPTION
British Labor Union Threatens Gen.
eral Strike.


London, Jan. 13.-The most serious
move yet contemplated in opposition
to CONSUMPTION was made by the ex
ecutive committee of the Miners Fed
Grafton, the strongest union in the
United Kingdom, when by vote OF
two to one it decided to submit to
referendum of the miners a resolution
for a national strike against the en-
forcement of the military service bill
Such a strike would mean the Grip
ping of the British feet, munitions
factories and railroads.
Together with news of this act1, n
came word that the Welsh Federation
of Coal Miners, by a vote of 1862 to SO,
had adopted resolution in favor OF
a walkout of miners in England, Scot
land and Wales, in case the military
service bill were passed and that
resolution condemning CONSUMPTION
had been passed by South Wales Goa
miners in Cardiff, 211 to IS.

FRESHMAN KILLED
IN BOWL FIGHT
Penn Student Crushed to Death
in SCrimmdge.
THREE OTHERS IN HOSPITAL
William Lifson, of Elizabeth, N. j.,
is Suffocated Under Mass of Stru0'
Cling Men.

Cling Men.
Philadelphia, Jan. 13.-Wi,liam L.
Lifson, seventeen years old, OF E ia
beth, N. j., freshman at the UniVeE-
sity of Pennsylvania, was killed in the
annual freshman-s 0phomcre bowl fight,
held on the lawn OF the Commercial
Museum, Thirty-third and Spruce
streets.
A number of other students were
injured, three of whom are still in the
hospital.
Lifson was found at the bottom of
the heap of several struggling students
when the second half of the bowl
fight ended He had literally been
crushed to death. Lifson was carried
from the field by four of his friends,
a passing motor truck was pressed in
to service and he was rushed to the
University hospital.
The doctors worked desperately to
revive him, using the pulmotor, injec-
tons of strychnine and other strong
stimulants but without success. 1t is
believed that life was extinct before
he was extricated from the mass OF
fighting students. There were no
marks on the body and he was evil
IDENTIFY suffocated.
AS soon as he heard Of the tragedy,
Captain of Detectives Cameron sent
about fifteen members of the murder
squad to the university with instruc,
lions to make a thorough inves.iga,
ton. The coroner also sent his de-
tectives to the scene to aid the inves.
tigation.
It was finally decided not to arrest
any Of the students engaged in the
contest. A number of them will be
subpoenaed to appear at the coroner's
inquest, however. Both the coroner's
detectives and Detective Callahan are
satisfied that Lifson's death was en-
tirely accidental. Provost Smith will
call on the coroner and explain how
Lifson was killed.
The bowl fight, the last Of the five
interclass contests between the fresh
men and the sophomores, is divided In
to two halves, each of ten minutes
duration. During the first half the
freshmen try to push their bowl man
through the ranks of the sophomores
and over a given line, while TIE sopho
mores strive to catch the bowl man
and seat him in the wooden bowl.
In the second half the two classes
form around the bowl, which is guard
ed by twelve stalwart sophomores. AT
a given signal there is a free fight
with every student fighting to reach
the bowl and get his hands on it, for
the class wins which has most hands
on it at the end of the period. These
who reach the bowl first are always
knocked down and others pile on top
of them. Lifson was evidently caught
at the bottom in such way that he
could not breathe and he was suffo
Gated.
Provost Edgar F. Smith, of the uni
versity, was shocked beyond measure
when informed by the hospital author.
tiles of Lifson's death, but said he had
not yet decided what action to take,
but that in view Of the fatality, the
bowl fight should be abolished.
