AUBURN WINS 81 TOT
OVER COMMODORES

Nashville. Tenn, Nov. f7.--Tho
heavy charging Auburn machine ran
over the light Commodore eleven here
this. afternoon and won by the score
OF 81 to 7. Vanderbilt saved herself
the disgrace of being shut out by
making a touchdown on q recovered
tumble In the last few minutes OF play.
Auburn relied almost wholly on
straight football, sending her backs
through the line for steady gains
Ducote was easily the star of the visi-
tors, winning applause from Vandy's
supporters His dashing field run
ming was a pleasure to behold. and,
although Commodore tacklers laid for
him. he would shake them of and go
through like an eel. Eonahue

The McGuggin machine played de-
fensive game, and their efforts to hold
the Auburnites were noble. The air
attack, which 1t had been said VAN
derbilt would use to effect. failed mis-
errbiy, as in the former games. Ono
good pass was contaminated. another
foil into Auburn's hands and was made
into a touchdown by them.

bied, and vanderbilt's heaviest man.

ball, rushed out from tacklers and
ran down the held, placing the ball

Lassiter helped greatly In the Com
mcdore defense, getting on good
punts when needed to pass the ball
away from vandy's goal line. Ducote
was equally effective behind.
Notwithstanding Auburn's lead ana
that neither side used any tricks. the
game was thriller and enjoyed.

constitutional and hat, inasmuch as
the Cigarmakers were an affiliated
body, and had apr roved this resolu-
ton, they had no doubt decided to
ignore the commits on and resent its
interference.
Cites Labor's Rule of Action.
Chairman Houston of the Assembly
committee then hr efly informed the
commission of the rule of action laid
down by organized labor in its future
dealings with the commission insofar
as sections % to 3S inclusive were con-
cerned. He claimed that the labor
unions had as much right to ignore a
law they hold to he unconstitutional
until passed upon by the high courts
as did corporation or state officials,
citing the railroad companies defiance
of the Adamson eight-hour law and
State Treasurer Higgins refusal to
comply with the law enacted by di-
rect vote of the people to loan farm
ers money from the state school funds
ut 6 per cent.
II was very evident that the conf
missioners were not pleased with the
attitude assumed by the unions. who
thus openly defied them rs well as the
alleged law. Chairman Hits then
instructed Acting Secretary O'Don-
nell of the commission to go before the
district court and have subpoenaes
issued from that source and served by
the sheriff upon the officers and strike
committee of the Cigarmakers Union.
He then "adjourned court" until
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.

No Increase for % Years.
There has not been an increase of
wages paid cigarmakers in Denver
during the past twenty-three years.
Owing to the present high cost of liv-
ing the employees who work under the
piece system had temporarily set aside
their eight-hour law and were work
ing nine and nine and one-hah hours
in an attempt to meet these eNigen-
cies. Failing in this they at last de-
cided to demand an increase of 81 per
thousand on all grades of cigars man
ufactured. The average wage for ci-
garmakers in Denver, as stated by
members of the strike committee, does
not exceed between SIC and SIT per
