fer suggestions. Some of his re-
marks We're:
"All professional athletics are
not bad, but the trend is toward
bad, and the athlete who tries to
be both amateur and pro certainly
is bad"

hearted spirit of a desire to win,
for the sake of winning. into his
play. The pro thinks only of get
ting as much as possible and giv-
ing as little as is necessary to
get it."
"The student who is amateur
one day and professional the next
day, is unfair to himself, to his
college and to the spirit of fair

"You can't burn the candle at
both ends. BE a full-fledged pro-
fessional or a full-fledsed amateur.

minel 4 win increase for the
anthracite workers.
AS soon as the report was pre-
sented the convention adjourned
by an almost unanimous vote until
tomorrow, without any action or
debate on the scale proposal. Like
wise, the threatened fight in behalf
of Alexander Howat, the Kansas
leader, who was expelled from the
union, failed to come before the
1900 delegates, but it was said it
might develop later.
The delegates held informal con-
Iferences throughout the day, debat-
ling the various proposals. Appar-
emily the majority view coincided
with that Of the union officials who
are said authoritatively to have
sought by the report to win public
EOpinion to the miners and also force
the coal operators INTO a joint wage
conference with the union.
In brief the committee demands
include the following:
Refusal to accept any wage re-
duCtions in soft Goals. the fight be-
ing to preserve present basic scales
without any general increase; ad-
justment of "inequitable differen-
ltials" within and between districts;
entailing wage advances for some
miners; increase Of 20 per cent in
wages for anthracite tonnage work
ers, and 81 a day for day laborers;
abolition of the automatic penalty
clause for filming miners or opera
tors violating working agreements;
Limitation Of the eight-hour day to
the time of entry and exit from the
mines: pay and one-half for over
time double pay for Sunday ana
holiday work, and, weekly instead
of bi-weekly or monthly pay.
As a preface to the demands, the
report declared any wage cuts
would reduce miners pay SO as to
bring poverty, suffering and de-
gradation in many mining locali-
ties" and added I'VE do not be-
Ilieve the public asks that its fuel
needs be supplied at the expense
of a degraded citizenship"
Attending the convention as "ob-
servers" are Harry =. Dynes, of this
city, and w. II. Rogers, former
president Of the Iowa miners, who
are now employed as labor coneilf-
ators by the federar department OF
labor.

really brought a large measure of
Irelief from taxes to which little at
ItentiOn has been paid. The total
reduction on the best analysis
which can be made will reach S.
$50, 1000 for the calendar year.
Speaking of the bill for the re-
funding of the debt, Senator Lodge
said:
THE United States has no inten-
ton of playing the part of usurper
but it was the money of the Ameri-
can people which was lent to the
allied and associated powers in
their time of greatest need. The
debts which the United States owed
to those powers she has paid in cash
and has questioned none of them.
I'VE are well aware that some,
perhaps many of the nations in
debted to the United States cannot
irow pay their principal or interest
but some arrangement must be
made to place that great debt upon
Ia business-like basis and to secure
what is properly due to the United
Estates Cpd har people, for il was
/ the people who lent the money"

any further measures. There is no

! force is hidden in these simple par

assume Is that of consultation"
