HOLSTER NEXT
HOOP OPPONENT
FOR r. H. S. TEAM
Locals Won From Kimberly Boys
Here Friday Night by Only
Two Points

The high school basket ball quint
will meet the HOLSTER team on the
local floor Friday evening of this
week. The game will be called at
o'clock
A statement from NJ. l.. Pearson.
coach, says that the boys have set
tied down to business and are going
to play better ball than they did
Friday evening of last week. when
they nosed out Kimberly by two
points. the score being IL TO I3.
Only the timekeeper's whistle
saved the Filler boys from defeat. for
the Kimberly lads in the second half
had overcome their stage fright and
were rapidly cutting down the lead
OF their larger adyersaries when the
game ended.
Filler played a poor game through
out and while they excelled the Kim
berly boys in getting the ball in posi-
ton to throw their basket-shooting
was exceedingly wild. Kimberly. on
the other hand. played a steady game
and improved most OF their oppor-
,tunities by hopping the ball. Stowe
especially. making some long and
difficult shots.
The Filler school has an exceptional /
bunch OF athletes but they will have |
10 settle down TO business IL they ex-
pect TO make any kind Of o showing
against teams which they are SEIZED i
uled TO play in the near future Late
hours and cigarette smoking are not
conducive to brilliant performance in
athletics a fact which the boys will
do well &c bear in mind.
Nine OF Filer-s scores were made
in the first half. Big Cole throwing
one field and one free basket: Skin
ney'' Cole one from the field. and
Love two. In the second half Love
added another field goal and Mar
tin got one.
King for Kimberly counted two
field baskets in the first half and one
field and one free throw in the sec
ond. stowe made two field counts In
he second half and was roundly ap
ia uded by the spectators for his
militant work.
The Sophomores and Seniors
played an exhibition game as = cur :
ain raiser. the latter winning by
Hose score.
There viii be no girls game this L
reek. but next week both teams will >
meet Bull at Bull. Miss Gertrude 4

MINE WAGE CONTRACTS
SIGNED IN MANY FIELDS
Majority Of Operators in Union Dis
tricts Agree on Terms.


Operators Of bituminous coal mines
and officials Of the miners union In
nearly all the unionized mining dis
tricts of the United States have fol-
lowed the. lead given by representa-
tives of the industry in Illinois, Indi-
ana and Ohio by signing wage con-
tracts fixing pay and conditions for
the employees for the year beginning
April 1, according to statement
today by Ellis Searles, editor of the
official journal of the union.
In all districts the employers and
employees have agreed to continue
present wages and working condi-
tions, which, from the union stand
point. Mr.. Searles said. was entirely
satisfactory. The new agreement Is
now in effect in Iowa. Missouri. Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Arkansas Texas,
Pennsylvania and northern West Vir-
ginia
THE miners by it maintain their
wage rates unchanged" Mr.. Searles
said of the agreement, land do not
lose any of the working conditions
which they have built up through
many years of struggle. Even at pres
ent rates of wages the miners are not
making a living. because of inter-
mittent employment, but they are
hoping that business and Industrial
conditions throughout the country
may improve to such an extent as
will afford them steady work"
