| settle the strike was based on a COM
prise plan. under which the 4S-hour
week was to prevail, and the man
ufacturers were to oe satisfied with
a wage reduction of ten per cent in
stead of 20 per cent. A six months
agreement embodying the terms was
proposed but the board last week an
ncunced that the parties to the con-
troversy would not agree on this
basis.
The present plan, it was under
stood tonight, will be similar to the
last in that it will suggest a COM
promise in the matter of wages. The
prospect of As hour legislation
would, in the view of board members,
make strike leaders feel less hesita-
tation in deciding terms of settle
ment.
The Lavender bill was not trans
mitted to the Senate today. but will

BASKETBALL

South Portland won the Bates pas
ketball tournament to select three
teams to attend the Tufts tournament
today (F'riday) and Saturday. but
later withdrew. Rumford High and
Bangor High were the other teams
picked. South Portland's published
reason for withdrawing is poor con-
dition.
Bangor, seeing the opportunity for
South Portland later to claim the
championship of Maine. takes pains
to emphasize the fact that the Bates
tournament was not to select a
Maine champion team, but to select
three teams for The Tufts contest.
Bath sees the same point and warns
the State that South Portland is like
ly to do that very thing, giving the
reason for s. P.'s. withdrawal: we
think the real reason is that their
coach realizes that South Portland
was lucky to trim Bangor (24-2l) and
rather than take a chance by playing
that team again they quit and will
naturally claim the championship OF
Maine by virtue of that win in Lew
iston Saturday and probably will not
listen to Bangor for a series after the
Tufts tournament"
South Portland comes across with
the statement that the Tufts trip was
abandoned because of the heavy eX-
pense and the large deficit in its own
treasury.
Eleven Massachusetts teams want
to enter the Tufts tournament and
the five may not be picked until the
first evenings play.
The Rumford High team on its re-
turn from Tufts will play Morse
High next Monday evening at Bath.
