At first I did not understand
her terror.
"If the boss or any of his

the newly-formed miners union
six months ago and was fired
from the mine and kept out for
three months in consequence.
Those three months without
a nickel coming in and seven

to "the boss" the all-powerful
boss who can turn you out at a

"After the union trouble,
my husband was out of work
for three months. His name

members and none of the other
mines would employ him. How

YALE BASKETBALL TEAM TO SHOW IN.
 MIDDLE WEST

New Haven, December IA - The Christmas vacation at Yale will start Thursday of this week and during the recess two of the varsity teams will engage in sport. The basketball team will take a trip through the Middle West, playing the University of Buffalo, Western Reserve, Toledo University, Ohio State and Carne- gle Tech and the hockey team plays series of games at Lake Placid.
 On Tuesday of this week, the finlal home game for the basket ball team will be played when the Ellis meet Providence College, and on Wednesday night the hockey team meets the strong Boston Hoc- key Club in the Arena. The Bos- ton club is one of the finest in the East and will make a strong bid for the Olympics. It was the team which represented the United States in the international tourna- ment in Sweden last winter. In two game series the Hockey Club and Yale broke even last season. Wednesdays game, which will start at 8:3O o'clock, will, in the opinion of Coach Holcomb York of the Yale team, be one of the best of the season.
 Coach Elmer Ripley of the var sity basketball team is not at all satisfied with the showing of the basketball team in the game with Rhode Island State Friday night, a game which Yale won in the final minutes by a score of 1916, and may shape up the five before it takes the floor against Provi- dence on Tuesday. The Ellis were sluggish Friday and it is quite gen. orally recognized that it will have to play an improved brand of bas- ketball not only to defeat Provi- dence but to make creditable showing during the Christmas trip. Providence, as usual, will face Yale with a. strong, well balanced team. Coach Al Mcclellan has squad of veterans from which he will pick his team, the outstanding player being Captain Bill Gainor, left guard, one of the best in New Eng land, Gainor, aside from being a fine basketball player is the South ern New England and Rhode Is- land State amateur boxing cham pion. McCormac, Shapiro Kos lowski and Brachen, who will start the game with him, will give the captain strong support, both on the attack and defense. Thomas J. O'Brien of New Haven, is the stu dent manager of the Providence team. In opening game Tuesday night, the Yale Freshmen will meet Naugatuck High at 7:15 o'clock.
