Are the Workers Also Happy?

When employers begin to laud a union and its
policies Cleveland garment bosses are doing, it
is high time for the rank and file to take stock of
the union and its officials.
The garment bosses point out in a suspiciously
enthusiastic manner that in Cleveland there has
not been a strike for six years and compare the
present peaceful scene with 1918 when one com
pany spent 100000 for gunner. The bosses main
tain that their agreement with the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, and the harmony
resulting therefrom, gives them favorable posi-
ton in the competitive fields of selling and credit.
When a union arouses this kind of a reaction in
the ranks of the bosses it is no farfetched CON
clusion to say that it is no longer a real union
but part of the organization of the employers,
because the interests of unions and bosses are fun
damentally opposed. Otherwise the class struggle
is Pigment of the imagination and unions or
any other form of working class organization un-
necessary.
We inclined to believe that many members
of the International aadies Garment Workers in
Cleveland will tell an entirely different story of
the conditions there if the honeymooning of the
bosses and union officials has not resulted in des-
troying completely the militancy of the members
without which union becomes a mere dues col
lecting and disqualification clarifying
oficaldom at one meeting and the bosses at the
next.
1t will take more than the testimony of the
bosses to convince us that the millennium has ar
rived for the Cleveland garment workers

GEORGIA TEAM
 AND CRIMSONS LEADING FIELD.
Mississippi Aggies Fall Out-Auburn Loses
 Again

The laurels of gridiron vic tories, which descended Satur- day afternoon upon the collec- tive heads of both Alabama and Georgia elevens, failed to effect any change in the battle for the mythical champion- ship of the football confer ence. Yet comparison of scores with 1923 records put the 'Bama moleskin squad into the favored position.
 The Crimson Tide swept the Ken lucky Wild Cats down the marked field i2 to :, while Vi ginia held the Bull. dogs to scant to 0 victory. These wins give both teams clean slate for the season, neither suffering defeat or :, tie score.
 One year ago. Kentucky held Ala bama to q score of IS to 6. while Geor- gia this year proved to ave only hak the scoring power of 1929. when they trimmed the Cavaliers 13 to o. Tba relentless offensive of Alabama, as shown Saturday, is expected to put the Crimson on the long end of the odds when the two teams fight for the cham pionship at Redwood field Thanksgly- ing Day.
 Aggies Beaten
 A third claimant for the conference crown failed to survive when the rehabr ilated Vanderbilt squad downed the Mississippi Aggies IS to O.. The game, however, did not cause any turmoil in the dopester circles, the defeat of the Aggies having been predicted far and wide during the present week. Another instance of pre-game dope proving accu- rate was the II to 6 victory of Tulane over Auburn. A hot and furious bat tle with either team likely to win, constituted the advance notices.
 Although Sewanee and Old Miss had been defeated, the standings of the con ference received an unexpected shak- ing-up when Sewanee went across for three touchdowns while Mississippi failed to score. In other conference games, the Centre Colonels trimmed Tennessee, g to O. while Georgia Techs far-famed aerial attack carried it to a ;28 to win over Louisiana State. Furman defeated South Carolina 10 to 0, while Davidson proved to be just one touchdown better than Clemson.

 The south, however, did not fare well in its eastern invasion. Yale was able to score almost at will over Mary land, winning AZ to 0, while the Ga tors lost to the Army, 14 10 o.

CENTRE EASILY
 DEFEATS VOLS
COlOnels Show Great Form In Beating Ten
 nessee, 32-0

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. s. Centre college swept the University of Tennessee machine from its patch in it's march towards a southern champion ship. 32 to 0. here today. The game was played in q steady rain during the first half and the wet field cramped the style of Flash Covington, all-southern quarter, whose brilliance was over shadowed by the magnificent playing of Rabenstein.
 Centre scored in every quarter. two touchdowns coming in the very final period. one when Rabenstein intercepted a forward pass and scampered 63 yards for q touchdown. The first touchdown of the game resulted from a consistent drive of 80 yards with Rabenstein. Gordy and Covington taking turns and ripping through the Vols front.
 Priest, Kubale and Bush, the heart of the visitors line, played havoc with the Vols opened gaping holes for their backs and piled up interference on the defense.
 Centre earned 19 first downs to five for the Vols. They averaged nearly six yards on each line plunge.
 Tennessee threatened twice, once in the first quarter when four bucks from the five-yard line failed to carry the ball over, and a similar number of attempts from the 10-yard line in the final period were just as useless.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. No. B. (SpeciaD D-Grabbing the ball on the kickoff on the 10-yard line when the Partners seemed asleep and forward passing their way after tumble a few moments later for second touchdown in less than five minutes, University Of Chattanooga lined up old man phys chology on it's side this afternoon and defeated Birmingham-Soutner 20 to in one of the most remarkable upsets ever recorded in Chattanooga football.
 The crowd out to see the home team take a drubbing and merely hoping for the best, sat through three-touchdown first half stupefied with amazement at the transformation of the local team. Playing a team that seemed to have much more driving power than Howard, which defeated them by five touchdowns, the Moccasins thrilled with an exhibi- tion of fighting spirit that brought vic tory where a three touchdown defeat would have been accepted as moral triumph" The Partners fought against the workings of fate in the first half, but in the second played poor football until the fourth period when 3O-yard end run by Black, 30-yard return of a punt by Griffin and series of bruis- ing plunges by Farr produced their only touchdown.
 Breaks Come Fast
 The breaks came fast at the start. Wyatt fell on the ball on the 1O-yard line on the, kickoff, the Panthers sleep ing on the play. Williams bucked it over for q counter. Chattanooga kicked off again. A bad pass from the Panther cen ter put the ball close to the goal and compelled a punt. An over-zealous Panther tackled Barnes as he was set for the catch and the resultant penalty put the home team close to the line. The Panther line was adamant. but on the fourth down Smith lined forward pass to Puckett, who fell over the line as he was tackled.
 After this the Panther road-roller seemed started but a holding penalty after beauty 20-yard run by Yielding to the 5-yard line brought them back. Twice thereafter the home team held in the shadow of it's goal two attempted drops also failed. A third march was started, but Yielding after catching a pretty forward pass fumbled as he was tackled and Moccasin got the ball.
 The Panther line still was puncture proof, but a forward pass, Smith to Wallace, netted 30 yards to the 3O-yard line. On the fourth down, when their line plays had netted not a yard against the. clawing Panthers, Smith lined long pass to King for a touchdown, King catching the ball at the goal line. These were the plays that cinched the victory as it was plainly unlikely that the Panthers drive could produce three touchdowns.
 Panthers were in Moccasin territory for most of the second half except when Austin Smith got a Panther pass and

 VIRGINIA, TOO
Bulldogs Overpower Hard Fighting Cavaliers
 To Win

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Nov. s. After a fierce struggle, battle wor- thy of two old grid rivals-the Uni versity of Georgia today emerged trl- umphant over Virginia, the score be- ing to o.
 The Cavaliers fought wonderful game, for they not only wanted to win for the sake of winning but they were also smarting under drubbing admin istered last season by the Bulldogs. Time and again the Virginia eleven was on the verge of scoring but fate and the great Georgia machine ruled otherwise.
 Georgia's lone touchdown came in the third quarter. Virginia lost the ball to Georgia an the Old Dominion s 34-yard line.
 Randall, hard plunging fullback of the Georgians, shot through for lZ yards and first down. Randall then hit center for three more yards, and an additional 14 yards. The ball was placed on Virginia's four-yard line. Again was Randall called upon and this time rammed left guard for a couple of yards. Only two yards re- mained. Randall once more was given the ball and he made good, going over the line for the touchdown. Moore s trusty foot sent the ball between goal posts for an extra point.
 Late in the first half Virginia at' tempted a drop-kick from Georgia S 3S-yard line but was unsuccessful.
 Cuddy and Mappis led the Virginia offensive mad defensive, while for Geor- gia. Randall was the outstanding star with Fitzpatrick also playing a good game. By winning today the Bulldogs continued as an undefeated eleven in the southern conference. Virgiia took her second defeat.

Alabama is going at break-neck speed in its race fo- q Southern title but it will meet an eleven at Redwood field next Saturday that may prove strong enough to break her stride but which. fortunately, cannot break her neck. The Praying Centre Colonels, once-won- Ger team. still one of Dixie's eleyens around which halo of romance hoyers, is slated to face the sweep of the Grim son Tide and will battle in an attempt to avoid being engulfed. 3

Then through the interval until that final five-minute dash, the men from Ames outplayed the Gophers, run ming their ends in midfield, successfully tossing pretty passes and, held near the Minnesota goal, failed in three at tempts at place kicks.
