MIDDLE CLASSES ORGANIZE
FOR PROTECTION IN ENGLAND
(By Associated Press.)

London, March 81. Members OF
the great middle class of England a..
last have taken steps to organize to
protect their own interests against
the aggressions of capital on the one
hand and increasing wages of work
men on the other. Leaders OF the
middle class declare that only by or
ganization can they escape an unfair
share of the burdens Of life.
English people of education and OF
moderate incomes have felt for some
time that they were being ground be-
tween the upper and neither mill
stones operating in the social mill.
Profits of capitalists from war con-
tracts have increased and the wages
of workmen steadily advanced. But
nobody had to have the services of
the professional man, the small bus
mess man nor the schoolmaster.
They felt that they simply made uN
a large part of the population whose
public duty, it seemed, was to meet
constantly increasing costs Of living
and tax rates without any corre-
spending increase In income. 1t was
not until now that they summoned
sufficient courage to give their pro-
tests weight by forming the nucleus
of an organization which both capt.
tai and labor may eventually lave to
reckon.
A preliminary meeting was held
under the craftsmanship of Major ]
In. Pretyman Newman, member Of
Parliament. 1t was decided TO cal
the organization the Middle Glass
Union" Among the purposes of thu
union are;
ITO remove undue burdens upol
the middle class, including the cos
of living.
. ITO protect the middle class agains
! bureaucratic and industrial tyranny
"To combine for common projection
! of those members of the communit
who have no organization to SAT
I guard their interests"
Il Letters appearing in support of tn
\ union show that many army officer
! and other soldiers are deeply inter
Z ested in the movement. One soldie
Z wrote:
3 "Unless we of the middle classe
! organize and combine to thwart an
Z destroy the anarchical aggressions I
: certain communities in the industri,
| world we will sooner or later be DO
| sheviked out of existence.
II How the Middle Glass Union wi
be received in the political field b
the capitalists and the trade unioI
which now monopolize it, remains
be seen.

CONGRESS ADJOURNs UNDER
REPUBLICAN FILIBUSTER

Washington, March A bitter
controversy between President VIII
son and the Senate over the league
of nations and a filibuster by few
Republican senators seeking to force
an immediate extra session marked
the passage at noon today OF the
SiXty-fifth or great war Congress.
Called in April, 1919 to throw
Americas weight into the conflict
overseas, the Congress held three
momentous and historic sessions.
Partisanship lay dormant during the
war, but it broke forth in the last
session to eliminate in a final fill
ibuster which successfully blocked
passage Of half of the IA regular
appropriation bills, including the
S75O,OOO,0O0 railroad administration
revolving fund and the huge army
navy and merchant marine budget.
Although unsuccessful in their at
tempts to record the Senate in favor
Of amending the constitution Of the
league Of nations as now drawn, the
senators left in the re-
cord resolution approved by 80
Of them opposing acceptance Of the
charter in its present form. RepuL

BASKET BALL NEWS

This week is a road week for the
local basketeers. No games will be
played at the gymnasium this Fri
day night, since the high school
girls will play the Normal girls ON
the Memphis Y. M. C. A. court that
night and the high school boys will
play Whitehaven High in Whiteha-
ven Friday afternoon. The town
team has been unable to arrange
an out-of-town game for Friday, and
the date viii therefore be taken Off.
The games last Friday night were
thrillers from the first to the last.
The Millington girls went into the
melee with vengeance, and rushed
the Byars-Hall girls to a finish, but
were unable to locate the basket.
The final score of IA to 5 in favor
of the Byars-Hall team shows the
narrowness of the margin in the
game.
The Park Field Medicals gave the
town team a mighty tussle, and made
them go long, fast pace to hold
the lead, The visitors came on the
floor with the idea of playing a de-
fensiye game. and this idea prevailed
throughout the contest. The locals
were guarded at every turn, hardly
getting a clear trial at the goal
during the game; but every now and
then Covington player would toss
a basket despite his clinging guard.
All the offensive work was done by
the locals, the Medicals taking only
the chance baskets that presented
themselves. AS a result Of such
scheme of playing the game was
closely drawn and exciting; but the
was with the locals. since
they could get away for needed
basket at critical times. The final
score was Covington, %; Park Field,
16.
Through an error in the write-up
last week, it appeared that the town
boys lost their oame to the Y. M. C.
A. reserves. Such was not the case,
however, as the long end of the
score went to the locals This game,
was another hot one,
and the locals won only through
some very clever work.
The double victory last Friday
night gave the Covington teams the
enviable distinction of having won
three double-headers in row..
Friday. March IA. will end the bas-
ket ball season here. Interesting
games are being arranged for that
date. and a record-breaking attend
ance is expected to witness the
closing games of what has turned
but to be the most successful season
ever experienced by local teams.
