An orchestra played for an hour in
the lobby of the Y NJ C. A. Building,
while the guests arrived and were tag

might easily become acquainted. The
men then went to the auditorium of
the building where program was
given.
What especially want to do here
at the University is to get in close per-
sonal touch with the men, said DR..
w. E Meanwell, director of athletics,
the first speaker Through the me-
dunn of athletics and medicine I've
come to know quite a bit of life, and
I'd be glad to have any of you to come
to me at any time when you have a
problem / can help you solve"
Doctor Meanwell explained that this
year in addition to the regular athle-
tic work, he has the direction of the
physical education part of military

prospects in all sports this year."

planned in detail the functions of the
student government. He asked that
the honor system in the University.
which is only a year old, be supported
by every student.
Alex Hope president of the Y. NJ.

debating and of the help it had given
students in this way. And John Nc
Casky of the Athenaean Society traced
the history of that organization and
pointed out that its aim is to train
men for leadership.
How the Y. NJ. C. A. functions to
raise the moral and social tone of the
University was pointed out by George
Combs, chairman of the membership

helping the students by building up
this splendid organization" he de-
clared Mr. Combs said everything

ber %, 26 and 81.

.Without the Walls,

The public's familiarity with the
material used as background for
Katrina Trask's new play, Without

the book. The story deals with a
Jewish maiden and a Roman soldier

of pictures Of the last days of Christ
and the events leading up to Calvary.
Being meant for a reading play, the
author did not have to sacrifice inter-

of dress should insure wide and
appreciated circulation for this lit

new YORK is
CONFRONTED BY
FOOD SHORTAGE
Labor Union Estimates Place
Number of Idle in City at
100000 Due to Number of
Prevailing Strikes.

New York. Oct. 14.-With at least
100000 workers either on strike or
idle as the result of strikes, accord
ing to union estimates, New York to-
day viewed with increasing concern
the prospect of a serious food short
age rendered imminent by the refusal
last night of the longshoremen to re-
turn to work and the continuance of
the teamsters strike.
The only ray of hope was the an
nouncement by President T. v. O'Con-
nor of he International Longshore-
mems association that the various 10
Gals would now take a referendum
vote on the question of returning to
work. O'Connor, who was hooted down
when he attempted to speak at last
nights turbulent meeting, said today:
Il still have hopes that the serious
thinking men in the organization will
see that mistake has been made in
trying to repudiate their word given
to the government and to the people
y
decision of the national adjustment
commission"
The walk out of the II, 900 teamsters,
chauffeurs and helpers has caused the
to place an embargo on all express
packages entering and leaving this
city Virtually all of the fish vege-
tables and other perishable food are
shipped here by express. The strike
of the longshoremen, harbor and fer
ry workers has caused food to rot on
the docks and in ships. No coal has
reached here for several days. Some
milk and vegetables have reached the
city by circuitoE> Soutes.
The industrial unrest in the city is
shown in a statement by Ernest Gohm,
secretary of the Central Federated
Union of Greater New York in which
he says 10000 workers affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor are
ON strike. In addition Mr.. Bohm states
there are $4,000 "unclassified strikers
anad 100000 non-strikers thrown out
of work.
The principal strikes here and the
number of men affected, according to
Mr.. Bohm are: Marine workers, 25, 900;
cigar makers. $4,000: millinery work
ers, 1900: shipbuilders. 5000; print
ers, pressmen, ETC., 5000; piano work
ers, 10000; building trades $4,000;
tailors. 5000 and laundry workers, 20,-
600.
Hope for an early settlement of
the express teamsters strike was seen
in the announcement this morning of
Martin Lacey, business agent of the
local union of the International Broth
erhood of Teamsters, that as soon as
a reply to the teamsters' demands is
from the railroad adminfstra-
lion, a meeting of the union will be
called and the reply submitted to the
men for consideration and action.

Degree Unification and Utili-

Indianapolis, Oct. 14.-Enactment of
legislation to insure transportation
adequate to national needs In time of
war as we'll as in peace was the
policy outlined today by Clyde B.
Aitchison, chairman of the interstate
commerce commission in his speech
before the National Association of
Railway and Utilities Commissioners
in session here.
In times of great national stress, de-
clared Chairman Aitchison, whether
due to war or other emergency, the

this, he said. is ona Of the highest

Discussing the various plans for the
future operation of the railroads, Mr..
Aitcnison said there must be a far
greater degree of unification and utiii-
zation of facilities terminals and
equipment than ever before and that
future railway construction should be
limited to that which is necessary and
convenient for governmental purposes
and the public. Provision for the most

the carriers and the country inay be
spared the burden of anything ap-

With the return of the properties
and until the corporations have had
an opportunity TO make their own
adjustments, it seems reasonable, Mr..
Aitchison said, that the government
should stand behind unavoidable loss

to a large extent the increased costs
constitute a direct cost of the war ana

Regarding the labor situation, the
speaker declared that legislation must
