CP-Boat race day-with all its
carnival color and the tradition OF
a half century's rivalry on the
picturesque Thames river; Harvard

Haunting the crimson and the blue;

Crowding and jostling. back-slap-
ping and boasting Of the good old
DAYS, thousands Of alumni Of Amer

sands more OF rowing enthusiasts
damned this ancient whaling town
today for another eight-oared duel
In which Yale ruled the favorite
over Harvard for Classic varsity
honors.
For early excitement this morn
ing. the incoming throngs had the
freshman and junior varsity events,
two mile contests. But most CT the
talk and apparently all Of the bet
ting centered about the blue-ribbon
varsity race, slated ver the up
stream course at Z p. m. eastern

Experts have established Yale as
q strong f~avorite in the four-mile
varsity race that will bring the
regatta to a climax Friday evening.
1t Is nothing novel TO find Ed
Leaders varsity boat the pronounc-
ed choice in preface calculations.
Since the strong silent man from
Washington took command at New
Haven to bring the Ellis boat out
OF the doldrums in 1923. Yale has
lost only one race to Harvard's var
sity. That was in 1927 when Ed
Browns first product broke the
rule jinx and snapped a six wear
winning streak for the Ellis. Last
year Yale retaliated with a ten
length trouncing of her ancient
rival.
Time trials and workouts by
Yale's lighter and trimmer boat
loads have been impressive. In
fact the most reliable information
is that the Crimson's best time
test was not within four boat
lengths OF the best Eli trial.

Maj. Berry, Representing

effect settlement of the rayon work
ers' strike at Elizabethton, Tenn.
puts responsibility for prolongation
OF the strike squarely upon the en-
ployers in the Happy Valley town
that has wondered since March %
why the mill owners have not kept
their word to the workers.
Major Berry thus adds his verdict
to that of y. S. Labor Department
Conciliator Charles Wood, who gave
international Labor News Service the
same verdict last week But Major
Berry does more than that. He sets
at rest definitely any question as to
his official status in the dispute, thus
showing that in rejecting his offer
the mill owners have fouted the gov
ernor of the state. Mr. Wood, while
in Washington last week, told Inter
national Labor News Service that
Governor Horton had said to news
paper men in Johnson City, seven
miles from Elizabethton, that he had
not authorized Major Berry to act for
him.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

New York.-Old age pensions is a

Security.
For man to work faithfully the
best part of his life at a meager wage
and then to be ruthlessly thrown out
OF employment due to oncoming age
is social wrong" said Theodore L.
Bierck, chairman of the New JERSEY
Commission on Old Age Insurance
and Pensions.
What is the picture held out to the
worker who sees old age coming upon
him 2" said Mr. Bierck. SIS he to be
relegated to the almshouse which in
the future will be looked upon as a
relic of the barbaric, uneconomic
past? Today man of 40, capable and
in full health, is not wanted for en-
ployment.
THE increase in criminals is re-
ceiving recruits from this class who
are desperate. 1t is all well and good
to respect law, but we must have re-
spectacle laws. We, who are more for
tunate, must have regret for those
who are less so. The state by law
should in it's sovereign right decree
that those who have reached an age
where their labor is impossible should
be cared for. When this is realized
there will be less crime"

FIRE ENGINE
Strike Won BY Machinists

Washington Machinists won their
strike against the American La
France and Foamite Corporation,
manufacturers of fire engines, at FL
mira, n. Y.
For Il months more than 300 ma
chinists insisted on their right to or
ganize. They have a record Of 100
per cent solidarity and were aided by
organized workers throughout the
United States and Canada.
In letter to organized workers of
North America, Arthur O. Wharton,
president of the international Asso-
citation of Machinists, thanks trade
unionists for their aid.
I'VE are anxious to show this COM
pany that our friends in the labor
movement are just as much con-
structive asset as they were an OBJ
struction to the company in securing
orders under strike condition." said
President Wharton.
"The product of this company is
against being made by union machin-
lists who have spent a lifetime in the
business of making fire-fghting ap-
paratus and who built the reputation
of the American La France and
Foamite Corporation
."'The company is the only concern
employing union machinists under
agreement and this fact should be rec
ognized and stressed with our friends
and city officials.
"Your cooperation now in securing
business for this company will not
only have SOLITARY effect on other
companies which have profted by the
recent controversy, but will help to
furnish steady employment for union
men.
