PUSH COP UNION!
Labor Leaders Want Police To
Organize Now.
Business Interests Expected To
Fight the Move.
TRESNER is NOT FOR IT
However, He Expects an Or

Question May Evolve Itself Into
Political Issue.
TRESNER is NOT FOR +

Organization Of the Topeka police
force and affiliating it with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor is a dream
Of Topeka labor leaders. according to
a statement today by Clyde Tresner
former president OF the Topeka Indus
trial Council and at present chief OF
detectives Tresner stated today that
at the present time with the mill
workers and union men at swords
points and a conflagration imminent
organization of the police force would
be folly.
However" said Tresner. "I would
not be surprised to see efforts made
in that direction in the future after
all this trouble is over. There has
been talk OF forming a union among
policemen at Labor hall for some
time"
Employers to Fight 1t.
Reports that such a move is under
way have been current for some
weeks. Tresner's notification of its
foundation originating in Labor hall
may mean the injection OF new issue
in city politics in the next election
From remarks heard already it is
evident an attempt TO unionize a po-
lice force will be fought by employers
Of labor who in future labor troubles
must depend on the police to protect
their rights.

Radicals among the labor unions II

vance their demands for unionization
Of the department and unless the agi-
tation for this move dies down II may
be possible a certain faction in the
labor unions will demand that can

partment and making union men Of

In other words, this proposition may
be the medium thru which an out and

union elements in Topeka in the next
city election, will come.

Lebanon Valley Eleven
Includes Young Recruit
Who Is One Big Surprise

AnnviI1e, Pa. Oct. 16.-One of the
biggest surprises of the opening of
the football season at Lebanon VAL
ley College was the rapid develop
ment of Warren Fake, whose home
is in Pine Grove. from an unframed
athlete into a football player of Var
sity caliber. When Fake came to
Lebanon Valley College he had never
played in q football game and had
seen very few real games. When the
call for football candidates was made
he was one of the first to respond. and
has been on the field for workout and
scrimmage each evening since prac-
tice began.
His improvement was steady and
when Coach Strickler was looking
over his men to select the players for
the opening game with Villanova, he
picked young Fake to hold down the
right guard position Fake went into
his first real game with pep and con-
fidence and his playing was remark
able in view of the fact that he had
never before participated in the pig
skin sport. Fake also played in the
game with Muhlenberg last Satur-
day.

Coach Smith sent the Technical
High School squad through only a
light scrimmage last evening in prep
aration for the contest with the Bal
timore Polytechnic School on the
Island Saturday afternoon. 1t was
the first practice of the week, and
because of the wet and slippery con-
dition of the field Coach Smith was
unwilling to take chance with any
of the players being injured.
After having been off the gridiron
for ten days Carl Beck again dom
ned his moleskins and was in the
regular practice. He will be in the
game Saturday afternoon. Word
from Faculty Manager r. B. Watson
is to the effect that the Monumental
City eleven will arrive in the Capitol
City, Saturday morning about 10
o'clock. The Tech student body will
send a committee to escort the vis-
itors to the principal points of in
terest in the city.
Captain Calls Right End
AS was the case last Saturday
when Chester played here, the right
end of the team is captain. Captain
Calls holds down the right wing
for the Baltimore team.
The Tech tutor showed the Ma
room players three new plays that
will be tried out Saturday after
noon. Baltimore played Mercers-
burg q close contest last week, and
there is no doubt to it but that the
game Saturday will be the closest
contested of the year. Tech will use
the regular lineup, and it is possible
that Zip" Malick will be in condi-
ton to play an end position. The
Tech band and cheer leaders will be
on hand to enliven the occasion. The
kickoff will be at o'clock. ..f
