these lands have nevertheless kept

The Near East is tho storm center

vision of service to ones fcllowmen

Mohammedanism with its selfish

Alpha Tau Omega
Defeats Delta Kappa

In the first game of the newly Or
ganized Oft Side Hockey League of
Colby college. the Alpha Tau Omega
seXtet defeated the Delta Kappa Ep-
Silon puckSterS in fast game by the
score Of 6-1.
The game was played as the initial
encounter of the new inter>1nural
league which will have in its ranks
seven fraternity and one non-frater-
nifty agsregations. The league is to
be known as the Colby Off Side
League and the games between the
various teams will be scheduled so as
to play off for the championship of
the college. The name of the league
is derived from the so-called off side
rule in the ice game whereas no
player is eligible to receive a pass
unless he is in back of the puck at
the time of the starting Of the pass.
In the league this rule is to be neg
lected as it is claimed that the new
men out for the sport find that they
have a great deal of trouble in fol-
lowing the said rule.
The Tau team took the lead in the
first few minutes of play and man
aged to retain this to the end of the
game. scoring in the first round four
of the six goals. In the second period
each team scored once and in the fin
al the Taus again scored. MacPher-

GAINESVILLE, Ohio. = In injunction
proceedings against organized steam
engineers, Common Pleas Judge Le-
inert said the rights of an individual
were not lessened when he associated
with others in the joint exercise of
their individual rights.
The right of either capitalists or
workers to choose with whom they will
deal and to give their patronage and
custom to those with whom they can
make favorable contracts, is as clear
as the right of an individual so to do, !"
said the court. IF the object sought
to be attained is lawful, a labor union

gument, to seek the support and mo-
raj influence of those upon whom they
bestow their favors as an aid in ac-
complishing the object sought.

PETTY WAGE INCREASE
OF FOUR CENTS AN HOUR is USED BY u. S. STEEL
CORPORATION TO UPHOLD IT'S LABOR
SHORTAGE CLAIM
Some of The Reasons Advanced By Big Trust For Lower
ing immigration Bars Would Go Well i'm
Vaudeville

Washington-"T II per cent
wage increase granted by the United
States steel corporation is sufficient
proof that Judge Elbert III. Gary is
correct in his assertion that there is
a labor shortage" says the Washing
ton Post, recognized spokesman for
the national administration.
This reasoning is of the kind used
by those who favor free immigration,
The trusts wage increase simply
means that workers will not labor in
the steel infernos for 36 cents an
hour. A II per cent increase is less
than 40 cents an hour. If labor
shortage exists in the steel industry,
the reason is apparent to men who
are willing to see.
One newspaper correspondent, who
is considered a sort of official wig
wager for vested interests, writes in
another local newspaper that "the
advance in wages granted by the steel
corporation, it is generally agreed,
was due in no small measure to the
competitive search for American
labor"
1t will be noticed that these public
ity agents never mention the former
rate of SO cents an hour. They talk
about II per cent increase, which
has a more substantial sound.
Neither is reference made to the ad-
ditional $1.75 per ton which the public
must pay the trust because of this a
cent wage increase.
At the annual meeting of steel trust
stockholders the other day, Judge
Gary said that the immigration law
"is one of the worst things econom-
ically" the United States has ever
done
What the Judge means, of course,
is that the law is one of the worst
things the United States ever did to
the seekers of cheap labor.
These exploiters are furious that
they have not free entrance into the
Balkans and southwestern Europe,
where they can secure the cheapest
white labor in the world.
To reach this cheap labor, they
make pleas that are really funny.
Think of these labor exploiters, who
would crush every ideal from man,
talking about only favoring the ad-
mittance of immigrants who can
measure up to high moral standard!
