Seek Working Pact
i'm Ruhr Region

Dusseldorf, Germany. Nov. 90
Negotiations between the French
economic control commission in the
Ruhr and the German industrial
leaders looking to a working agree
ment will be resumed here on Thurs
day, the Duesseldorfer Nacht:'ichten
announced tonight.
1t is considered doubtful that Herr
SHINES will reappear but he prob
ably will be lerresentcd at the re-
sumed meetings.
The attitude of the workers seems
fairly reflected in the statement made
by an important union leader today
to The Associated Press. He declared
that if the French decided to gen.
orally advise the members of their
unions to follow the example set by
the men of the Erin mine and con-
tinue at work notbecause of any
love for the French but by reason OF
the fact that continuing to labor was
the only visible alternative to star
walton.
The Nachtrichten publishes a des-
patch from Bochum saying the Mine
Owners Association has reiterated to
the miners that full resumption of
operat ton of the mines is impossible
except with a longer day. hut that
the workers are stalking their hopes
of enforcement of General De Gout-
ties decree and the Berlin govern
ments enforcement of respect for
the eight hour day. Most of the
miners unions have declared against
n longer working day and have beci'
informed that the Berlin government
holds the the hour day unlawful.

held in the vestry of the Universalist
church Friday evening, Nov. 20. This
Is one Of the most enjoyable of the
school social events. and Is the oc-
casion when the letters are awarded
to the football men.
George Stuber, a Junior. has been
elected as football captain for the
season of 1924. Stuber has played
since his Freshman year, and has
played in every game this year, at
fullback and is the logical man for
the position of captain. Members of
the Stuber family have always been
leaders at Gardiner high and es-
pecially is this evident this year.
The newlys elected football captain
is a brother to Ferras Stuber, who
was captain of the football team last
year, who is now at Springfield Y.
M. c. A, and Elna Stuber who is
captain of the Gardiner High School
Girls basketball team is a cousin to
these boys, and they all possess the
qualities necessary for leaders, and
are prominent in school activities as
well as in athletics.
