Billy Evans Says:

The untimely death of Berry Kirk.
star end Of the University Of Michigan
football team, came rs a great shock to
every lover OF the game.
1t was the irony OF fate. that Kirk,
who not once during his entire foot
ball career asked for time ont because
of an injury, should die as the result of
en- automobile accident.
Kirk starred in every game that
Michigan played during the 1872 season.
No one player meant more TO the sue
cess of NOst's great eleven than Kirk.
Every critic in the west selected Kirk
on either the Big Ten or middle west
alk-star teams. A majority of the crit
IFS Of the country placed him on their
Gll-American eleyens.
The untimely death of Kirk recalls
similar fate that befell George Gipp,
famous Notre Dame star. Every lover
of football recalls how Gipp at the
close Of O brilliant football season was
stricken with pneumonia and died. just
at a time when be wSs the most-talked-
about player in the football world.
1t is rather strange coincidence that
Kirk had been a member [. the Notre
Dame football team on which Gipp
starred. The death of Kirk marks the
passing OF a forward pass combination
-Gipp to Kipk. For be it known that
Kirk played a year at Notre Dame be-
fore coming TO Michigan.
Kirk contributed one Of the feature
plays of the year in the gam. with Hi
nos. Receiving the kickoff. Kirk ran
50 yards through the entire Illinois
team for a touchdown. 1t was the play
that took much Of the steam out Of IL
linois.
Kirk will be long remembered by
Michigan men and others who had seen
him in action. He was player that
always gave the best that was in him
the type of which any college may well
be proud.

PRICE BOOSTERS
On Food Always On Their
Job

Washing gton.-Unemployment never
hits the profiteers in food. Steadily
and persistently they are on the job
seven days in the week and 52 weeks
in the year. This steady job business
is revealed by the food price statistics
made public periodically by the U. S.
bureau Of labor statistics.
According to the bureaus latest re-
port the retail price boosters during
the 10-year period from September Is
1913, to September Is, 1888, catapult-
ed prices in 13 industrial cities all
the way from 40 per cent in Jack
sonville and Kansas City to SO per
cent in Richmond, Va. This is long
period catapulting
During the one-year period from
September 1922, to September Is
1923, the price catapulters in some
20 cities jerked food prices up all the
way from per cent in New Orleans
to 10 per cent in Indianapolis.
During the one-month period from
August Is, 1923, to September Is
the price-raising gentry in 18 cities
elevated the cost of food to the con-
sumers from l per cent in Washing
ton, d. c., to 4 per cent in ST. Louis.
Every time the price boosters jerk
up the price of food the purchasing
power of the workers wages is jerked
down to the extent that retailers jerk
prices up.
One of the great features of trade
unionism is that through the organ
lied action of the workers it has the
power to jerk wages up as high and
higher as the price boosters jerk up
food prices.

COMMUNISTS
Backed By Anti-Union Coal
Operators

washington. = John c. Brydon
president of the National Coal Asso-
cation and president of the bitumi.
nous operators special committee
and his anti-union associates are
guilty of assisting the communist rev.
olutionists to destroy the United Mine
Workers of AM cyica, according to a
statement by Ellis Searles, spokesman
for the Mine Workers, respecting
Brydon's manifesto criticizing the
Mine Workers for their exposure of
red activities within the union.
These non-union operators. /"
, Searles declares, "are as anxious as
the communists to wreck and DESTROY
the United Mine Workers of America.
Both are working to accomplish
the same purpose, and the fact that
these non-union operators headed by
John Z. Brydon, have thus Joined
with the communists and rushed to
their defense has done much to con-
firm the well-grounded belief among
the union miners that the communists
and other destructive reds have re-
ceived substantial encouragement and
aid from non-union coal operators in
their various activities"
After citing numerous incidents
linking up Brydon and his associa-
ton with the communist conspiracy
against the organized mine workers,
Searles continues:
There is still much more to be un-
covered and learned about the work
of the reds in this country, and the
miners union believes that thorough
investigation of the matter should be
undertaken by committee of the
United States senate If the senate
will undertake such an inquiry and
go to the bottom of the entire subject
the United Mine Workers Of America
will place before the senate committee
all of its information and data and
cooperate in every other way.
IF Mr.. Brydon and his crowd of
non-union labor haters will lend the
same kind Of honest help, much good
can be accomplished And, we may
add, if the senate goes to the bottom
of this thing there are persons promi-
nent in and out of the coal industry
who probably will feel like running
for cover"

TO KEEP OUT
ALL ALIENS
For Certain Period is Union
LabOr's Plan

The executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor urges abso-
lutte prohibition of immigrant work
ers from the United States for a
Gefnite period in the interest of the
Americanization of the foreigners
already here.
1.-The cry is coming from all parts
of the country for the Americaniza-
tion of the foreigner" says the coun-
ell
According to the United States
census there are 100000 foreigners
in the United States, of whom 1,500,-
900 cannot speak English, and 3,0O0,-
| 900 can not read or write the English
language.
mo better time could campaign
| be launched to this end than at pres
ent, and it's success would be made
more certain by the complete restric-
ton of immigration.
Until the foreigners now in this
country are assimilated there can be
no success in Americanizing the citi-
zens born in this country.
"llliteracy is growing at a rapid
rate.
THE alarming discovery made dur
ing the war of the extent of illiteracy
in the United States should be warn
| ing to those who now urge the throw
ing open of our ports to still greater
| immigration
Congress will be called upon to
decide between the greed Of unfail
employers and the self-preservatior
of our people"
