HOMER MARTHA
LEAVES UNIVERSITY
He Was Captain Of the
Basketball Five and
Catcher on the Nine.

MORGANTOWN, Zee. 1O.--Homer
C. Martin, a Sophomore in West Viz
ginia University who played such
sensational basketball on the Varsity
in his Freshman year that he was
elected captain OF the five for this
season, has withdrawn from the uni
versity and returned to his home a.
Charleston. His loss 10 the team will
be an almost irreparable one but will
not be so bad in basketball as in base
ball where as catcher he shows more
promise than any youngster who ever
wore the padded mitt here.
Not only that but Martin won his
letter as an end at football this year
and because of his kicking, passing
and generally all round brilliant play,
he was counted upon to take the place
of Rodgers in the backtield next fall.
1t is possible, of course, that Mar
tin will retur next year
Only plentiful supply of high
class material for basketball makes
it possible for local fans to be optl-
mistic over the floor situation in spite
of Martins loss. There are two full
teams of letter-men left after Martin
is gone and a strong team should be
developed,

of its athletic committee, feted and
dined its triumphant football squad
of 1919 in the annual banquet by the
committee Monday at the Ma

probation and gratefulness for the
record of notable victories by the
team and for tine still more nota3'e
fame which these victories brought to
the University and to the state, badt
them farewell and formally dropped
the curtain on the 1919 season.
Before adjourning, the players Sc
lected Howard Lentz, Of New Martins
Vile, for the past three years Varsity
halfback, 10 lead the 1920 eleven. The
vote for Lentz was particularly unani-
NOUS and he was loudly acclaimed by
his teammates, oh, and new. Most APP
rropriately, he thanked the squad for
the honor and pledged his best eff
forts to uphold the standard of West
Virginia football which this years

INDUSTRIAL PEACE
DEPENDS ON JUSTICE
~
So Declares Secretary Of
Labor Wilson in Inter-
esting Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. - There
can be'to permanent industrial peace
that is not based on ndust..al justice,
Secretary Wilson declared today in
Ibis annual report Reviewing the
present disturbed industrial situation,
the Secretary said the means had
been found for regulating all the other
relations of mankind and that human
intelligence could find the method
Of adjusting the relationship between
employer and employe with justice to
both.
Declaring that just as international
wrongs might reach u point making
wal, a necessity, so industrial wroags
might accumulate until they provoke
,afi industrial conflict, the Secretary
said the stability of industrial rela-
tions rested on mutual counsel.
n "Just as the peace of nations is pro-
NOTED by frank and friendly inter-
course he said, 80 may the peace
Of industry be maintained by the same
methods. "But this intercourse can
mot come about unless there is first
recognized the right of collective bar
gaining, The public interest demands
that 1t be universally recognized for
the primary interest of the public is
in peace.
"FThe denial of organization is a de-
/ NAL of the only means OF peacoable
settlement that the wage earners
have"
Calling attention to the present
prominence Of labor organizations of
a revolutionary or lawless type the
Secretary declared that the respOnsi.
, bilfty for them must fall upon the en-
ployer who opposes the organization
Of lawful trade unions. More and
more do industrial disputes menace
\ the public as well as employer and
employe, the secretary said adding
that the right to strike should be a
means Of defense and not weapon
of offense.
"The right of any man to cease
working for another for any reason
that is sufficient to himself is the ba-
; sic element of human liberty he said.
The right Of any person to refuse to
Cooperate his plant at any time he &C.
sires to do so is the eercise of prop
.erty right guaranteed by the COnsti-
NbulAgu' IL uOOS ISL 4OAlO" bLAht NC
cause these rights exist it is neces-
/, sary to exercise them. They mus
nevertheless be saieguarded."
Turning to the question of the high
cost Of living, the secretary said in.
creased wages did not always bring
the desired relief. Increased produc-
, tiyity, making more material avail
I able for wages and taking the means
. Of increased compensation out Of the
profits of the employer was the only
T way In which the standard of living
sf the wage Garner could be improved,
< he declared.
Reylsning the activities of the vari-
aus bureaus of the department, the re-
port said 254,273 aliens came to Amer.
lean shores during the fiscal year end
ing June so, and that245647 OF them
