DREWES INQUEST NOV. 26
Prosee ution Believes II Has EvIdenc "a
to Hold Penn Student


The inquest in the Drewes murder
case will be held November 20. This
was announced today by the coroner's S
office.
The inquest has Been delayed owing to
the difficulty the district attorneys of
fee encountered in getting its evidence
together. William p. Brines, the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania student whom
the police accuse OF having killed
Drewes, has been guarded SO carefully
by his counsel that the district attorn
ney's Office has been unable to get any
information from him.
The coming of witness from New.
York, who managed to see Brines and
yet not be seen by the counsel for the
defense. is surmised to have given the
prosecution sufficient knowledge of the
case to 90 into the coroner's court and
ask Brines be held for the action of the
grand jury.
Elmer c. Drewes, Dartmouth College
senior, was found dead on the morning
Of October II at a lonely spot in Logan.

ROUND TABLE AT Y. w. c.
Young Women's Idea Of Popular Girl

y The subject, Young Women's Idea
of Popular Girl was most thorough
ly discussed Wednesday night at the
Round table held at the Young Wo-
mans club. One would not have sup
posed there could be so many different
opinions on the subject.
First the girl who is popular among
girls was discussed and some of the
most interesting ideas concerning her
were. that she is the one with a
strong will, does what the ma.
jority want, and is extremely good ma.
tured," "is the 'all.round girl--wth
high ideals rs sincere, pleasant, and
adaptable" SIS magnetic, but perhaps
not dependable
1t was finally decided that the girl
most popular among girls is the one
most enthusiastic, not easily offended,
and most sincerely interested in peo-
pie.
Is this kind Of girl popular with
men? The best answers to this ques-
tion were-not il she Is independent,
and that she is-with the right kind
of men.
The next point of discussion was, of
course, what makes girl popular with
men? Young Womans club members
agreed that the glamour of attention
which looks like popularity was often
only another name for familiarity.
They agreed also that true value lay
in real friendship and respect which
lasts, rather than the kind of admira-
zion from men which flares up and
quickly dies because it is not real.
Here the talk turned quite naturally
to the vote and the place of girls and
women in the world today.
The interesting evening ended with
singing of Massachusetts League club
songs.

THE n. r. cUSHMAN STRIKE
Offer by the Company Refused by
Employees Who Quit Monday.

The following statement was made
by the H. T. Cushman company this
afternoon:
THE directors of the H. r. Cush-
man Mfg, Co., wish to make pubic
statement in order that there may be
no misunderstanding as to the posi-
ton it takes regarding its former en-
Iployees.
''As result of vote taken Janu-
ary 1st 1920, that its employees were
satisfied to operate on a 55 hour week
ly schedule at the increased wages
given them, the company sold its
present seasons orders at guaranteed
prices. The company takes the posi-
ton that the demand made by its en-
working hours, resulting in an in
crease of over ten per cent in wages
and proportionate decrease in pro
duction Is absolutely unfair.
The position taken by the company
In the talk with some Of its former
employees yesterday afternoon was
that they return to work and finish
the seasons operations, namely until
July 1st, 1920, on exactly the same
running schedule as when they left.
"As the company had made no sales
for the fall season at guaranteed
prices it would on the first day of July
1920 establish weekly schedule of
not less than 80 hours per week, If so
desired by a majority of its employ
ees. The company also states that it
is its policy to pay one and one
quarter time for all over time above
regular weekly schedule.
Relative to wages on July 1st next
the company takes the position that
business conditions alone must gov
ern this.
THE company's proposals were not
accepted"
Bernard McNancy, chairman of the
committee of employees that presented
the demands to the company last
Monday, telephoned the Banner Office
this afternoon that an offer was pre-
sented to the employees of the H. T.
Cushman company that if they would
return to work at the old wage scale
until July l that after July the
company would put the shops on a
50-hour week schedule. This offer,
Mr. McNaney said was unanimously
rejected at a meeting of the striking
employees held yesterday afternoon.
