ATHENS, Oct. 25.-The Pangalos
government in an official communica-
tion has notified the league of nations
that she will not withdraw her troops
from Bulgarian territory until after
the decision OF the league in Paris.
The Greek military dictator insists
that the terms of the ultimatum sent
to Bulgaria must be complied with
before Greece will give up any of the
territory which she has taken in Bull
garia.
Orders have been sent to Greek
troops to cease hostilities and to con-
tinue to remain on Bulgarian terri
tory until further orders from the
military staff at Athens.
M. Carapanos, Greek minister to
France, will be the Greek delegate to
the league of nations conference.
Rumors of monarchist coup grow
in Athens. The body of the late King
Constantine is being brought back to
Greece early next month. and a ma
tional holiday is to be proclaimed on
that occasion. Fears continue to grow
that the military dictator Pangalos
viii take advantage of the war with
Bulgaria to restore former King
George or establish Prince Alexander
on the Greek throne.

attempt to scare Negroes from

Discuss Race Bars.
The American Federation of Labor
continues it's passive opposition to
the anti-Negro bars raised by our in
ternational unions. Negro workers
are unable to join hands with the
white workers in a common struggle
against the class that exploits them
both. The Negro in American indus
try is the most underpaid and over
worked and is often used by the boss
es in strikes to crush the struggle
for better conditions.
These are some of the problems
that face the first gathering of Negro
workers and working farmers in
America. Last year, the Sanhedrin
met. but there the Negro worker re
ceived but little consideration. The
Negro worker has now decided to act
for himself
Delegates Arrive.
All day long delegates that had
been sent by the organized and unor-
ganized longshoremen, cotton and SUI
gar cane farmers, steel, pottery, and
turpentine workers, kept arriving at
the headquarters of the American
Negro Labor Congress at S456 IN
diana Ave, where they registered, re-
.eeived their badges and were then
taken to a nearby hotel where dele
gates are being quartered.
Real Work Starts Monday.
The real work of the congress will
start today with a discussion on the
American Negro and the trade unions.
In the evening mass meeting will
be held at which speakers of both
races will speak on the theme which
occupied the days session. az
On Tuesday, racial persecution,
Jim Crowism and racial segregation
will be discussed and acted upon /. 4
On Wednesday, the relation Of the
Negro to American political life will
be discussed.
On Thursday, the task of the Amer
lean Negro in the anti-imperialist
taking place in Egypt, In
dia, Morocco, Syria and other sections
of the world will be discussed.
Abolish Peonage System.
On Friday, the task Of organizing
and educating the Negro farmer will
be discussed. The peonage system
which exists in the south is the i'm
portant issue for the farmer delegates
to the congress and its discussion,
will result in strong action being TAX

campaIan Is Launehed.

In addition to pledging financial
support, the Carpenters Union pro-
poses to utilize every possible means
of placing the facts before the work
ers of this city and particularly to
visit other unions with the ideae of
getting them to adopt similar action.
The members of the union feel that if
wage-reductions and a weakening of
the miners in the anthracite region
takes place 1t will be followed by an
intensification of wage cuts all over
the country so they pledg themselves
to resist generally the attacks of the
employers upon the workers. Follow
ing is the resolution adopted:
Resolution on. Coal Strike.
Whereas, more than one and fifty
thousand members of the United
Mine Workers of America are on
strike in the anthracite coal field, and
whereas, these workers are de-
manding an increase N wages, full
reoongnition Of their union and bet
ter working conditions against the eff
forts of the coal operators to reduce
wages and enforce worse working
conditions, and
Whereas the struggle in the antha-
cite fields is the result of resistance
by the coal miners to the general cam
paign of the capitalist employers to
reduce wages and enforce worse
working conditions, which has already
resulted in wage reduction for mil
lions of workers, and
Whereas, the successful resistance
to this campaign by the coal miners
will stiffen the resistance of the work
ers in other industries to similar eff
forts and aid in creating a general
fight of the workers against the at
tempt of the capitalists to reduce the
standard of of living of the workers,

governments have in the past strikes

WRESTLER'S INJURED
BACK CURED BY FAST

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Whoever said
that they never come back did not take
into consideration the life Of Charles
Hanson, known to the wrestling fans
as the Minnesota Swede."
This young giant came along about
four years ago like a house afire. He
wrestled everything and everybody
and always left his opponent lying on
the mat.
He was so rough in training that
he could not get wrestlers TO train
with him.
He secured a match with Stanislaus
Zbyszko at Nashville.
libby was champion then, but Han
son grimly stuck to him for more than
three hours. Hanson nearly ruined the
giant Pole.
Shortly after this match Hanson
took sick complaining Of back weak
ness. He called an all sorts OF doctors
but none could diagnose his aliinen,.
He took up fasting and on tns
twenty-third day, something snapped
on his vertebra.
with a jubilant cry he jumped iron
the sick bed and loudly yelled that n,
was well. The injured back set ltseu
when flesh and muscle disappeared
from the effects Of the fast, and Han
son was right. He was again wei
man.

Although there were many good
football players, in my opinion, there
were no real outstanding stars in the
Southwest Conference this season.
Such men as Hunt of A. & NJ, Saxon
Of Texas, Clark of T. c. u, Under
wood of Rice and others were excep-
tionally good a times but only in
flashes. In one game they exhibited
unusual ability while in the next
game they seemed to be off form. Good
dependable wing men and tackles were
sorely lacking and needless to say
that Texas football fans failed to see
Red Oranges" and Ernie Nevers"
in the backfields. / believe this to be
the outcome, TO certain extent, Of
the coaches deyoting more time and
attention TO the defensive game in
stead Of to a lack of material The
Texas schools as a whole have just as
good, if not better, football material
now and better coaching stats than
ever before.

MANY GOOD COACHES

The other three members of this
new conference have very able coach
ing stats. dad" Amis, who has been
at Brentwood only a couple Of sea-
sons has done remarkably well, win
ming the championship in 1924 and
almost. repeating this year. Shotwell
of Simmons, whose Cowboys lost only
one conference game this season, turn
ed out a great team. pete" Cawthon
has had powerful elevens at Austin
but was hit hard this year by the loss
Of several veterans by graduation and
other experienced players who were
lost early in the season by injuries.
In the four best football officials
my choice are Rix (Dartmouth) Win
tiers (0hio STATED; Holton (Notre
Dance. and Kinney Miss. A. & NJ
These four men combine all the quail
fication of good officials. They can
work in any capacity and in my opin-
ion can handle any game of football
any where and at any time They are
efficient, have a thorough knowledge
Of the rules of the game from the
viewpoint Of an official, they have
the ability TO handle the game under
all conditions. They are tactful in
dealing with players, coaches, specta-
tors and other officials they work
with, always mindful of the spirit of
the game and possessed with prompt
and decisive judgment, a spirit Of
comradeship rather than hostility, a
perfect knowledge Of the rules and
their correct Interpretation, fearless
determination to do their best and
above all absolutely fair. With these
men, and others who rank equally as
high as officials right here in the
state l see no reason why the habit
Of importing thigh priced" officials
from other sections of the country
should any longer be continued.

CLAQUERS ONCE DECIDED
WORLD TITLE In BOXING
By ED w. SMITH

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-That old-time
subject of claquers and claquing per-
haps is as ancient as grand opera it
self and recently broke out in this city
in a most interesting form. The
scheme of the claquer always has been
to band himself with a small gather
ing, get into different sections of the
opera house and at the opportunc mo-
ment give their star, who is supposed
to be their employer, tremendous
ovation. 1t has been decided by the
local management of the opera that
There shall be no more of it.
Claquers have not been confined en-
tirely to grand opera at different
times in history, and we want to tell
you little yarn of the time that a
small band of this sort caused a
worlds championship fighting title to
change hands. They were not banded
in advance, but on the spur Of the
moment saw their opportunity and
made the most of it.
BURNS VS.. JOHNSON.
1t was in Australia the day that
Tommy Burns, the Canadian, defend
ed his title against the mighty Jack
johnson. There we're a few inter-
csting incidents leading up to the
match. Burns didn't care much about
fighting Johnson in this country or
anywhere else, and with his manager,
Billy Neail, decided to make a tour
of the world, starting out by way of
England, where it was possible for
the champion to get a few matches.
They started out, but this fact did
not deter johnson and his manager
at the time, Sam Fitzpatrick. They
managed to scrape together the price
of a long trip and took almost the
next boat behind the Burns entour-
age. They started in to challenge
Burns as soon as they got to England
and received q lot Of attention. The
huge black man became at oHce a SEN
sational figure in England. Burns
had fights there and then, disregarding
the johnson challenges, went on his
way with his party to Australia.
GETS BIG JUMP.
johnson and his gang were keen on
the scent and the next boat for the
Antipodes found them aboard, with n
lot Of their press work all reaGy to
spring as soon as the landing in Aus
tralia was made. 1t was long jour
ney, but it was made safely by all
hands. OF course Burns had all the
better Of the argument in that he had
a lead of at least three weeks on the
negro, and. of course. being a good
man ut his own exploitation. made
