WEST VIRGINIA HAS
HOPES OF Winning

MoRGANTOWN, W. Va. Oct. 6.-
The SPECIFIC day for which loyal West
virginia students. alumni and other
adherents have been waiting for just
two years since last Saturday is about
70 arrive. and on next Saturday. Octo-
Der II. at Forbes Field. PfttsbuFFh,
the long-Waited clash between the
Mountaineers and the PantheFs viii
take place.
Saturday will be the first opportu-
nifty to witness West Virginia's great
eleven Of this year attempt TO get re-
venge. The truth OF the matter is,
however. that there - very little con-
ndence among local supporters Of the
team In the ability Of the Mountain
eers to beat Pitt They know West
Virginia has a good team, the best,
perhaps. that has ever been turned
out here, but they fear Warmers sa-
gaclty and they know that he has in
Hastings, De Hart, Morrow, Davies
and Hileman, Eve Of the greatest
backs the country has produced and
men who can execute 70 perfection
any tricks the great master can plan.
IL IS a hard combination, and one
against which there will be little or
no betting, according to the present
temper OF local fans.
With the players, Of course, &c e. diff
ferent. They know little OF the
strength Of Pitt, but unlike two years
ago they realize their own strength,
and this is important. They are going
to Pitt 70 play the best and hardest
football they know how. Nothing else
matters to them at the present time
except the Pitt game, and they are
going to be fed up" on it from this
time forward to an even greater ex-
tent than they have been at camp.
That West Virginia will have a
large and enthusiastic following at
the game is certain. It is reckoned by
Major MummR. who Is organizing the
students, that there will be at least
200 Of these 90 to the contest. Seven
or eight hundred other local peopls
viii also so and 267 individuals in ali
parts OF the State have already 1mada
application for tickets in numbers
from two 70 fifty. Sales also viii be
conducted by the university manage
ment at ClGFksburg, Fairmont and

The student band Of seventy pieces
will 90 to the game and the cadet
corps viii 90 in q body, this whole
contingent leaving here on a special
train about o'clock on the morning
OF the day OF the contest. The return.
Of course, will be made the same
evening.
Though several men have been IN.
jured earlier IN the season, the an
proach Of the Pitt contest dnda every
man ht and there should be no aIIbi on
this score, provided, OF course, luck
continues to be with the local team.

Traction Employees Tie Up
Systems as Race Riots
Spread Death.

Chicago, July 2s-white Chicago
writhed in the grip of race riots
today a traction strike piled up the
city's troubles. Fifteen thousand
employees disregarded orders Of
union officials and walked out.
No attempt will be made. it was
announced. to operate either sur
face or elevated lines. The strike
started at an hour when Chicago
slept. Hundreds of thousands of
toilers went to stations and street
car crossings, waiting for cars, not
knowing the strike had gone into
effect. There had been no previous
warning for last night, 1t was be-
lievcd, when news spread that an
agreement had been reached be-
tween union chiefs and street car
heads that q strike had been
averted.
Decision. of the men to walk out
came at a mass meeting where union
chiefs presented the terms of the
agreement with the street car COM
panies. When L. B. Brand, member
of the international board of the car
mems union, attempted to present the
terms, he was howled down before ne
had completed his statement
William Quinlan, president of the
- - d
ing, raped for order and shouted:
It's all over. We strike at 4
o'clock"
At o'clock every surface and ele-
waited line car was in the barn and not
a wheel moved.
Leonard A Busby. president Of the
Chicago surface lines, in setting forth
the position of the street car manage
ments, said:
Our offer gave the trainmen receiv-
ing the maximum wage of IS cents an
hour, 6 cents an hour-an increase Of
II cents an hour-and a like increase to
all other employees; an eisht-hour day
and time and one-hah for overtime.
The offer increased the cost Of the
service to the public, including the
direct wage increase, the bonus time
and overtime allowances insisted upon,
to the amount of about 100000 per
annum.
These terms, admittedly fair in
excess of the wages and working
anywhere else in the
country. were flatly rejected by
the men, and a strike called with
out even giving the public notice
of warning"
The first day of the strike passed
without disorder save for an at
tack on a street car that had been
left outside barn. A crowd sur
rounded the car, set 1t ahre and
hooted firemen who responded to
the alarm.
