ALDRICH'S TWO JOBSI ARE WORRYING ELIS|
Doubt Whether He Should Hold Captaincies of Foot and
 Baseball Teams.

It is still uncertain whether Malcolm Aldrich of Fall River will be allowed to continue as lale football and base ball captain. No person has ever held the two captaincies in Yale history, all though Lee McClung was elected captain of both teams in 1891. He resigned the baseball team, and was selected captain he could not give the needed attention to both teams.
 Aldrich has every qualification for conducting d successful campaign for both the baseball and football teams. He Is a natural leader. a student of high scholarship, as well as first class foot ball and baseball player, and many Yale officials believe that he should be allow ed to continue at the head of both teams
 Some, however, feel that 1t IS impos- sible for anyone to bear the yoube burden successfully. They feel that 1t would be wise for Aldrich to resign the baseball captalncy, although he will con- tinue as a player on both teams, and will remain as football captain He proved the most reliable all-round player in every department of the game on the baseball team, and wa selected captain when the season closed in June, in spite of the fact that he had been made foot ball captain last December If he re- mains baseball captain he will be unable to devote any time to that branch of sport this fall, a temporary captain be- ing chosen to direct the team during the fall practice.
 Advocates of the plan of allowing Ald- rich to remain captain of both teams insist that he has already started on the baseball campaign, and has engaged a new head coach, Bernard Tommers, the former Yale pitcher and recent Pawling School coach, and that his successor as baseball captain might not desire to con- tlnue the same policy, thus causing con- fict in Yale baseball plans

CHICAGO EMPLOYS 3OO,OOO JOBLESS
 MEN AND WOMEN
City Appropriates Huge Sums for Improvements and Work for
 Big Army.

Chicago, Sept. 23,-Three definite moves to reduce the cost of living and provide employment for thous ands of idle men were under way in Chicago.
 A delegation of representative citi- zens is planning to call upon the state and city authorities to start lmmedi- ately on public improvement work that will mean employment for 3oo, GOO men. Funds already have been appropriated, 1t is claimed, for pub lie improvements to cost $IOO,OO 900 and citizens will urge that the work be gotten under way immediately.
 Members of the various labor unions were discussing their attitude toward the building trades agree ment, promulgated recently by Judge Landis, in which the wages of skilled from 10 to 30 per cent. and new rules and conditions for building trades work outlined Although many in dividuals have expressed dissatisfac- ton with the ruling made by Judge Landis, leaders of the labor unions have intimated that they will urge acceptance of the award upon the membership. Unless the unions re pudiate the agreement 1t is expected that building operations that will give employment to more than 25,- 900 men will be undertaken within the next few weeks.
 A. definite movement toward re- storation of.a five cent street car fare here is also under way. A statement on Monday showing that earnings Of the Chicago street, railway system during seven months of the current year were the largest in the history of the system has given impetus to the fare reduction movement. It IS expected that the Illinois Commerce Commission soon will hold hearings on the question of reducing fares and new scale of fares lower than the present rate of eight cents for sur | face cars and 10 cents for elevated roads is regarded as. most probable. Railroads centering in Chicago are 1 being asked to use all possible facll- itics to prevent large influx of un- employed from outlying sections during the fall and winter,

PLUMBER BOSSES
 BUNCOMBE PUBLIC
 ABOUT HOST" MEN
Pipe Men and Sheet Metal Workers Victims of Unfair Tactics
 Since Lockout

After a survey by officials of the Plumbers and Steam Filters and Sheet Metal Workers Unions in this city and vicinity, a very interesting situation has been brought to light.
 It having been called to the atten- ton of many members of these two above organizations by customers that once preferred to have certain men install work, that these aforesaid referred to customers have been un- able to locate their former choices and the alleged reason given by the bosses is as conveyed to the members of the two organizations, that when specific inquiry has been made, that certain employers have stated that:
 MT -- left me about four months ago, together with my other men i'll my shop, when friction came between u> oyer a matter of wage adjustment ,and that we are now forced to be content with certain men that we have employed and with a few boys, we hope to tide over the emergency and still hope that our position will soon improve so that we will have all our old men back soon, but at this time 1 do not know where he is, and 1 am very sorry"
 Now the Plumbers and Steam Fit ters and Sheet Metal Workers Unions are very seriously interested in such business tactics, and they de sire to have the public know that what trouble existed late in the spring of 1921 has long ago been settled insofar as the organizations are concerned.
 That any customer of a former employer of the members of the two above organizations desiring efficient services, and who desire 10 know of the whereabouts of men that have installed work ii their homes, that such information would be willingly given by calling the information serv- ice of the organizations, Colony 34oI.
 The organizations have now a large number of good mechanics out of employment, and by employing them we hope to renew the same old cooperative spirit that has existed for years, and the officials request that any customer, old or prospective, can be fully accommodated with the in formation that can be obtained by re- ferring to the above phone number, and this kindness will be returned many times by these men,

 WINES RESTORED
Referendum Shows e3,72o Wet Votes to 1878 Dry and Two
 Weeks Behind.

New York, Sept 23.-In nine weeks something more than 100000 people voted in a referendum on prohibition, the ques- ton of restoring light wines and beer and the blue laws The referendum is being conducted by the National Liberal Ali ance. of which F. C. Harley IS national chairman and which has offices at Is Whitehall Street and at 16o West 49th Street.
 Tabu1ators are two weeks behind with counting the ballots cast in boxes left in stores in various parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. but results show so far that the voting has been nearly all wet. The results so far tabu- lated are:

 Against a liberal construction and against light wines and beer-1o78
 Favoring enforcement of blue laws 26O.
 Voting on ali the questions continues, the boxes being opened each week, re- sealed and placed back in prominent places.
 Blue law advocates, prohibitionists and all interested in the subject from any angle, are invited to ballot in the refer endum and the results are to be made the basis of memorial to Congress, asking restoration of personal rights to drink light wines and beer unrestrictedly.
 New York is the first big city to reg ister an informal ballot on prohibition, but a similar referendum has been started in Philadelphia. It Is said that prorni- nent men and women have asked the al- liance to conduct similar referendums in various cities.
 Chairman Harley said heawas confident ''thc sentiment of the nation, as registered by millions of ballot sgners, would be registered in the monster memorial which 1t IS planned to present to Con- grcSs at the regular session.
 The movement was started in the mid ale of July when large number Of for mer service men were employed to dis tribute the ballots and boxes in stores and stands in many neighborhoods
 The movement attained instant popu- larlty and numerous requests came into headquarters for ballots and boxes. The ballots are the si ze of a large blank check, with the questions printed plainly and squares left blank for for" or against vote. Each voter is required to register his full name, occupation, con- gresslOnal district and present Represen- tative in Congress-
 The referendum proved so popular after short time that the alliance was compelled to enlarge its quarters and open branch office uptown. The voting IS still going on all over the city.

 Declaring that no one person can give a complete notion ot world conditions, Shaw advises that the workers, should study . the statements of leaders of all , schools of thought if they . would have a clear understand . ing of facts that affect their welfare.
