Freshmen beat Bangor High to 0
here this afternoon and it was all
done in the first minute Of play, Ban
gor kicked off to Bowdoin. 1t was
rather a short kick, Butler scooping
it on the 3o-yard line. He ran and
ran and ran, lodging one tackler
after another and pumped the ball
down between the Bangor posts,
then kicking the goal. Bangor was
somewhat outweighed but put up
plucky fight and the collegians had
their hands full. Both teams tried
aerial attack, Bangor having a little
better luck. Bowdoin came near an
other score when they drove the ball
inside Bangor's five-yard line and
lost it on tumble. Bangor had one
chance to score when they backed
the collegians almost up to the post,
but a forward pass got away and
went over the line for a touchback.
Bangor upon the whole showed i'm
provement. Several of the Bow
doin first year men flashed at times
brilliantly. The summary:

In labor circles, however, the ex-
pectation was expressed that the
legal branch of the government
would be utilized before many hours
had passed.
In view of the statement of recog-
nized leaders of the railroad unions
that no special consideration would
be shown mail trains once the strike
was in progress, official Washington
looked to the post office department
for the first defensive" move. 1t
was recalled that the government
had not been called on to meet or
ganized interference with its mail
traffic since President Cleveland's
administration. During the most re-
cent railroad labor troubles, the
switchmens strike in the spring of
1870. mail schedules were main
tanned With practically normalcy and
in other cases, OF disruption of ordi-
nary rail transportation there has
been invariably tacit understand
ing, if not a formal declamtion that
the post was inviolate.
