100000 Against

This action increased the number
of major rail unions which have vot-
cd not to strike now to nine and the
, numbers. of railroad employees bound
by such action to ABOUT three fourths
of the country's total of approx
mately 100000.
The vote was taken in a meeting

While the official statement an

thing had been harmonious in the

the decision had been made only

gued by these officials that the clerks
are more closely related in the work
to the members of the Big Four
brotherhoods than are any of the
other union men and that conse-
quently many of them thought they
should support the Big Four in its
strike call. The turning point in the
debate came when it was announced
that the brotherhoods had informed
the officials that their men would re-
turn to work when their personal
grievances had been settled, regard

unions.

BLUENOSE WINS
OVER ELSIE IN FIRST
F|SHERMEN'S RACE

Halifax. n. s, Oct. 22-Bluenose Of
Lunenburg today won the first inter
national fishermen's race in a rip
roaring wind of 81 knots that carried
away the foretopmast of her rival,
Elsie out of Gloucester, after the
course had been covered.
Elsie crossed the finish line at
145.50 unofficial time, or about IS
minutes behind her rival.
The official turning times for the
fourth mark were: Rluenose 1.02.20;
Elsie 1.12.10.
The unofficial finishing time for
Blucnose was 1888 She took about
400 hours to cover the 40 miles an
hour.
Cutting away the wreckaGe, Elsie
kept docgedly on, bnt dropped stead
lily behind and finished about three
miles astern of Bluenose.
The Yankees, however, had no ali
bis to offer. They had sailed a good
race and lost. 1t was question
after all how much they had been
handicapped by the cracking of their
SPAR for when the wind later in
creased and Bluenose had taken her
uppers, it was evident that both
schooners were carrying all the can
vas they could stagger under Elsie
was unable, however, to spread her
ballooner on the last leg because of
her missing top mast.
The next race was scheduled for
Monday. Whether Elsie would be
able to refit in time. or would have
to request a postponement was a
question when the two boats crossed
the line.
Elsie crossed the line first, but was
beaten to the first mark. She trailed
tn second and third leg but only by
about minutes
Then her topmast crasher to her
decks in a squat which hit both yes
sells. Bluenose promptly doused all
her uppers. but Captain Marty Wclch
kept his main torsail set. rislling his
stick to beat his rival. Bluenose soon
reset her maintopsail putting both
craft under the same sail spread for
the fourth leg.
Bluenose finished with everything
set except staysail. but with her
smashed spar, Elsie had to use her
staysail instead of her big halooner.
The official times for the finish
were: Bluenose 1896: Elsie 1855.

Lewiston, Ne, Oct. 22.--The entire
man-power of Bates college has for
mally been offered to President Nor
ris Mcdonald of the Maine Central
railroad in the event Of a railroad
strike.
This action was taken by President
Gray Of Bates, and the offer and reply
are set forth in the following tele-
grams:
The Offer
Lewiston, Me. Oct. 90, 1921.
President Norris Mcdonald. Maine
Central Railroad. Portland, Me:
Realizing that if the threatened rail-
road strike actually occurs, untold
suffering by those dependent upon
railroad transportation for food and
fuel is certain to follow, Bates college
offers its man-power to assist in meet
ing the emergency. Bates men ale
not technically trained. but they are
ready to serve in any capacity when
humanity calls. You are at liberty to
demand whatever service we may rem
der to prevent Statewide calamity.
CLIFTON D. GRAY,
President Bates College.
President McDonaId's Reply
At 1915 the following reply from
President Mcdonald was received
Clifton d. Gray, President Of Bates
College:
~ off IF 70 q N
power Of Bates college to assist in
meeting impending transportation
emergency is timely and patriotic.
Your motive is eminently humane
and appeals to every rght-mnded
man. / accept your offer in the spirit
in which il was made and assure you
of my appreciation Of both that offer
and its motives
tSigned) MORRIS MCDONALD,
President Mcdonald also expressed
personally his appreciation of this
offer of Bates college.
1t was sent last night. When Pres
idont Gray announced in chapel this
morning what he had done he was
cheered to the echo-an informal but
President Gray's announcement was
very brief. He faced gathering that
filled the chapel to capacity. and he
said
"On A motor trip down from BJs-
ton yesterday | passed two institu-
tions-the insane asylum at Danvers
and the school for the feeble minded.
They set me to thinking whether or
not the public is facing one of two
things--a perpetual Bedlam or q fool s
paradise.
Now" he continued, Il want your
approval of this telegram" and he
slowly read it.
For moment there was silence.
Then came an outburst of applause
such as is seldom heard in Bates chan
ol--applause that would die away only
to break out again. leaving no doubt
as to the attitude Of the student body
II am glad" said President GRAY
with a slight smile, when silence was
finally restored, That your approval is
so enthusias tc-for the telegram was
sent last night"
And that was all; but one Of the
most significant actions in the history
of Bates college, or any other. had
been taken. The services of approx
mately 325 men students are thus
placed at the absolute disposal of
President Mcdonald.
