Effective March 81.
lRr the Associated Press.l }


, Cleveland, o., Oct. 2.-Bituminous
operators and officials of the U. M. w.
A. gathered here for joint confer
ence this afternoon to arrange for fu-
ture wage scales in accordance with
an agreement signed here August 10,
which ultimately brought to an end
the soft coal strike.
In addition to opening negotiations
for a wage scale, to supplement that
which expires March 81, 1928, the
conference is expected to take up the
question of collective bargaining.
Work Under Cleveland Pact.
The Cleveland agreement, under
which the meeting is called, provides
for the appointment of a committee
to Investigate the industry and an
other to formulate a method of nego-
tiating new wage contracts.
At least one group of operators-the
Illinois association-has announced it
will seek to prevent any arrangement
which would conflict with the recon-
mendation of the fact finding commits

PLAN NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH
Building Committee of Fifteen Men,
bers Appointed To Handle Project

Building Committee of Fifteen Mem
bers Appointed To Handle Project.
A building committee of fifteen
members, twelve men and three
women, was appointed at a meeting
of the congregation of the Church
of the Assumption Sunday. In the
hands of this committee has been
placed the project of the erection of
a new church at the corner of Eighth
avenue and Jackson street, to replace
the structure damaged a few weeks
ago by fire.
1t is the opinion of the members of
pair the old building would be fu-
tile. We want a new church, at any
rate" Father Patrick McInerney said
in discussing the matter. Even if
there had been no fire. we would
want a new church building"
1t is probable that the plans for
the. church which are tentative thus
far, will be worked out rapidly
enough that construction of some
sort will be started during the coming
winter. It is the general plan to
have the basement of the new struc
ture finished first, so that it may be
used during the time that the re-
mainder of the edifice is being con-
structed.
No estimate has yet been made of
the probable cost of the new church,
nor any detailed plan of it drawn up.
Mass was said in the basement of
the old church Sunday, and in the
high school auditorium on the pre-
vious Sunday

Russia Sends Protest.
(By the Associated Press.)

Moscow, Oct. 2.-The soviet gov
ernment has sent a note to England,
France and Italy, protesting against
the blockade of the Dardanelles and
insisting upon the removal OF all re-
strictions to the free passage of trad
ing ships thru the straits.
The note says the manner in which
England is 'endeaVoring to control
foreign seas and territory" shows in
difference to the interests of Russia
and the other black sea states.
Categorically protesting against
the blockade fixed by England with
out Russia's knowledge, and against
Russia's interests the note cites that
this action was taken while Russia
was endeaVoring to re-esta blish her
own economics, destroyed by war and
intervention and after unsuccessful
attempts by the European countries to
re-establish the worlds economics
thru the Genoa and Hague confer
ence.
"The Russian. government" the
communication continues, has placed
orders with European countries and
America, the majority of these already
are loaded upon ships which are de-
signed to be sent thru the straits to
the Black Sea ports. Quite unex-
pectedly the Russian government
learns that England, depending upon
her navy, had blockaded the Dardan-
elles and moreover had ordered her
warships to fire upon vessels attempt
ing to disobey the blockade order"
The note accuses the entente of in
terfering with the efforts of the Rus
sian government to re-establish nor
NAL conditions in Russia thru their
enforcement of the blockade, despite
certain concessions already made by
the soviet.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1922-10-02
Means a Blockade.

THE blockade" it says, shows that
the countries which are not inter
ested in the Black sea, which insist
upon controlling it by military force.
Will always be a threat against restora-
ton of the peaceful life of the Black
sea countries. Freedom of the straits
for which Europe is preparing new
bloodshed, means only a free hand
for the entente to force the blockade
at any time, under any preteXt, thus
cutting off the Black sea ports from
the world.
The Russian government stands
for freedom of the straits, but for
such freedom as will give free passage
to trading ships and which will free
the straits and the Black sea of all
military forces.
The blockade has no effect upon
the economic life of England and the
allies. Its only effect is on the eco
nomic life of the Black sea states.
The nghtness with which the English
authorities are managing foreign seas
and territory clearly indicates their
indifference toward the interests of
the Black sea countries.
Therefore, the Russian government
herewith insists upon removal of the
blockade and all limitations interfer-
ing with the free passage of trading
ships thru the Dardanelles which are
being enforced by England and the
allies

Ohio Wesleyan Claims
Conference Grid Title;
Matter Still In Dispute

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Nov. 27-Ohio
Wesleyan having nosed out Denison
IA to IS, down at Granville as the
wind-up of it's football season, now
claims that it holds the Ohio Confer
ence Grid title all by its lonesome.
Oberlin claims to be tied with Wes-
leyan but the Methodists deny this al
though Oberlin won all five of its con-
ference games.
Wesleyan won seven conference bat
ties and played a stiffer Buckeye
schedule and there you have the argu-
ment in a nutshell.
Wesleyan beat Miami to 0. Ober-
lin beat Miami to 0. Both of 'em
swamped Case. but Wesleyan mopped
up on the Scientists heavier than Ober-
lin did.
ST. Xavier, down at Cincinnati, alse
finished without defeat by confer
ence eleven, but only played two con
ference games, so any claim it might
put in for the title won't be recognized
But the Oberlin-Wesleyan question
as to the championship will never be
officially settled
Ohio Wesleyan has challenged Ober
lin to a post-season game for the title
but Oherlin replies that this isn't feas
ible under Ohio conference rules.
