In one of the fastest basketball games ever seen here, marked by spectacular playing on both sides, the Pine Bluff Y. M. C. A. team won from Hendrix college by score of 42 to 30 last night at the High school gymnasium. Features of the game were the offensive work of Alexan- der, Howell and Jones of the locals, the work of Hawley of the Hendrix team at forward, and the playing of Schisler, also forward. Hawley shot six field goals. The teamwork of Thompson, center, and Gregg, guard of the Hendrix team, was good
 "Red" Quinn, who has been ill, was able to be in the game during the final 10 minutes.

COMPANY STORE NOT LIKED
Federal Commissioner Davis Says
Workers Want 1t Changed Into
Cooperative Affair.

Transformation of the familiar
company store" operated in connec-
tion with industrial plants into a CO.
operative institution in which workers
may share in the profits was declared
to be one of the best stabilizers of
labor by Hymel Davis, federal COM
missioner of cOnciliation, appearing
before the United States senate COM
mittee on reconstruction and produc-
tion in session in New York.
He asserted that the "antipathy OF
workers against company stores is
based on the belief that they are CIV
ing back the bosses part of their earn
ings by way of added profits"
With this idea eradicated, he said.
and an institution established where
by laborers may expect dividends, the
migratory habits of labor, especially
among the miners of the West" will be
materially checked.
Discussion of the cooperative store
plan was in connection with the SEN
ate committees investigation into the
postal savings system with" a view to
it's possible revision. Mr.. Davies told
the committee that his many years ex-
perience with miners showed the same
antipathy existing against company
banks and that the men would well
come the opportunity to deposit their
savings with the government.

ANTHRACITE men
DESERVE RAISE
So Says Vice President of the
U. M. w. A. After Months
in the Field.
SEES NO FURTHER TROUBLE
II Higher Wages Are Refused the
Hard Coal Miners, They May
Leave for Other Regions
Where Pay Is Better.

Back from the anthracite coal re-
gion, where he had passed eight
months in efforts to settle the miners
strike, Philip Murray, international
vice president Of the United Mine
Workers of America and formerly
president of District No. 5, expressed
confidence that the miners generally
would resume work. He was hopeful,
he said, that union officials In the an
thracite region then would be able to
get a wage increase for the men In
addition to the II per cent which has
been allowed them. Speaking Of the
outlook, he said:
'There does not appear to have been
any logical reason for refusing the
anthracite men as great an advance
as was allowed the soft coal miners,
which was q per cent. When they
are back at work, the question will be
taken up by their officers with the
federal authorities and the wage COM
missions, and strong effort will bt
made to have the award increased
We hope we shall succeed In doing
this.
what will happen II we are unsuc-
cessful, l, of course, am not author
lied to say, but it does not appear to
me that there should be any further
trouble resulting in a suspension OF
operations. Work Is plentiful through
out the country at higher wages than
are paid these men. l rather think
that many of them, If they are unable
to obtain higher wages, will leave
these fields and go to others.
"The day laborers in the anthracite
field, for instance, get only a trif1e
more than 81 a day. Day labor Is
plentiful in the soft coal region at ST
to $3.50 a day. Und"r these condi-
tions the situation should right itself
in short time"
Mr.. Murray, who is member OF
the Pittsburgh board Of public edu-
cation, expressed the opinion that the
condition of unrest which prevails
throughout the country is due to
profteering, and that this in turn has
been made possible in large part by
the inadequate transportation service.
A marked Improvement in transporta-
ton is observable he pointed out, and
this he expected to see reflected In a
reduction in profiteering.
