Edward Everett Hale's famous
story of irresistible patriotic appeal,
The Man without a Country" was
presented by Melvin Lyter to the
members OF his group, SB-2.
In the brief introduction to his ear
nest talk, Melvin emphasized the fact
that Hale had desired to win the read

ward gridiron warriors carried with
them the confidence of all New Eng
land to-day when they started the
transcontinental trip to meet the
University of Oregon football ma
chine at Pasadena, Cal, on New
Years day. Each OF the % mem
bers of the Crimson squad was pro-

Fearing that the six days of Pull
man-car riding and numerous elc-
vation shifts and climatic changes
might soften the players, Trainer
Pooch Donovan outlined a program
of special exercises for the journey.
Besides the indoor exercises, 10 stops
will be available for brief outdoor
runs. Harvard graduates and
friends along the route will turn
out in numbers to greet the players.
The question of officials for the
contest remained unsettled early to-
day. but it was believed that two
with Pacific coast experience and two
familiar with eastern and middle
west playing methods could easily be
found.

rest, and for securing in this connec-
ton working hours and conditions of
labor that would establish q higher
standard Of life and social well being
for the people.
Mr.. Brace declared that not q little
Of the responsibility for the unrest
lay in the failure to give responsible

to receive. and In the granting Of
concessions regarding terms after un-
onicisI stoppage Of work, which con-
ceseions had been refused to trade
union leaders before the stoppages.
Says Workers Favor Consolidation.

INDUSTRIAL CRISIS
High Cost of Food and De-
mands of Labor Command
Chief Attention.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. February 14.-Industrial
questions in Great Britain are. for the
first time, making the peace confer
ence and world reconstruction merely
minor issues. The demands of min
ers and railway men, with the high
cost of food and other problems of do
nestle reconstruction, command chief
attention from the newspapers, and
the veteran labor leaders. William
Brace and J. Fl. Thomas. told the
house of commons last night that the
country is confronted by the most
serious crisis in recent history IL
these problems are not dealt with i'm
mediately.
Miners Reply to Government.
Following the decision of the min
ers' federation to call for a strike ball
lot, the federation has issued an Off
cial reply to the governments state
ment regarding the miners demands.
This document charges the govern
ment with trying to turn public opin-
ion against the miners, and refuses
to accept the data upon which the
government based it's offer of a shil-
ling a day increase in wages. 1t says
the miners demand a 80 per cent in
crease, with a siX-hour day, is de-
signed to raise their standard of liv-
ing, and not solely to meet the in
creased cost of living. These points
are supported by long arguments.
while the demand for the national
ization of the mining industry is fore
bly, reiterated.
The majority of the newspapers con-
slider that the government is dealing
very reasonably with the miners. and
say that the miners are unreasonable
in placing a short time limit for a
decision on a policy like Nationalist
ton which may mean the changing
of the basic foundations of the in
dustry. upon which other important
industries largely depend.

Robert smillie Advises Strike.

The influence of Robert Smillie the
miners leader, is SO great that his
advice to members of the federation
to vote in favor of a strike is likely
to be adopted unless the tension Is
relieved during the month that the
ballot Is held up pending some ac-
ceptable compromise. In the event of
a strike. the Mails labor expert re-
marks, the country may be confronted
by wholesale Industrial disaster
and such suffering among the poor as
even the war failed to infiict"
In the meantime, negotiations be-
tween the transport workers fedora
tien and the employers seem to have
reached something like an impasse,
although break has not come az
yet.
