Nineteen thousand members of eight

wage increases ranging from $3.50 to
50 as a result of arbitration decisions
handed down yesterday. The increases
are made retroactive to October l.
The unions had asked for increases
ranging from $12 to SIS week. and It
was said unofficially that while they
were not satisfied with the increases
awarded by the arbitrators, the grant
ing OF any increase at this time is con-
sidered victory for organized labor.
Prior to the expiration on October I
OF the agreements between the unions
and employers the unions submitted de-
mands for increased wages. The en-
ployers offered fat increase of 81.
which was rejected. Later the employ
ers withdrew their offer and decided to
submit the matter to arbitration in ac-
cordance with their contract

separately, each arbitrator hearing the
case of two or three unions. The
awards we're made on Che basis of q
I to 10 per cent increase in the cost of
living from January l to October l,

MoRGANTowN, Dec. 9. = 1t
was announced here today that the
Warrington and Lee University
basketball team would appear at
Morgantown on Friday, February
25th as one Of the big features Of
the 1921 West Virginia schedule.
This will mark the first appear
ance OF a Washington and Lee UNI
versity team In MotEantown. The
VlrgInians for years past have been
bitter rivals with the Mountainous,
but for some reason the games be-
tween the teams have been staged
either at Lexington, the home OF
w. & L., or at Charleston, the West
Virginia capital.
Enthusiastically unusual interest
will center in this game because
not only OF the w.rm struggles that
have always resulted from tho
meetings OF athletic teams from
these institutions but because Of
the fact that It will give West Viz
gInIa students their first chance
to see a w. & L. team in action.
It has been informally announc'
ed that the Washington & Lee
wrestling team will also be here
this winter, but no date for the
meet has been set,
