COMPENSATION

The truest words we ever speak
Are words of cheer.
Life has its shade, its valleys deep,
But round our feet the shadows
creep,
To prove the sunlight near.
Between the hills those valleys
sleep
The sun-crowned hills!
And down their sides will those who
seek
With hopeful spirit. brave. though
meek.
Find gently flowing rills.
For every cloud silvery light
God Wills it so.
For every vale shining height;
A glorious morn for every night,
A birth for labor's throe;
For SHOWS white wing a verdant
field;
A gain for loss;
For buried seed the harvest yield;
For pain a strength, a Joy revealed,
A crown for every cross.

his health, he attended Virginia

William w. ("Bill") Roper,
former Princeton grid coach, who
passed away yesterday, believed
fered as his contention that fully
80 per cent of victory was COM
posed of spirit and fight.
Roper went to Princeton as
grid coach in 1905 while he was
a student in the law school OF
University of Virginia. He was
mentor to Princeton elevens from
1906 to 1880 with the exception
of one year-1909-When he
coached University of Missouri.
In his last II years at Princeton
his team won SO, lost 18, and tied
ii. Three times in those II years,
Princeton was declared champion
of the big Three"
BemOans Commercialism
Bill bemoaned the fact that
football was utilized as a COM
mercial proposition. He consulted
Tad Jones, then coach of Yale,
and the pair cast about for some
method which might prove a good
example to other colleges, and
which might succeed in reducing
the commercial aspects of college
football as an institution.
Americas first non scouting
agreement resulted, but it meant
nothing in the way of curbing the
commercial tendencies of those
who are responsible for the
proper use of football as an ad-
junct of education.
Roper refused to desert the
non-scouting arrangement and
undertook to bring all Princeton
opponents under this agreement.
He succeeded in obtaining the
consent of all foemen except
Cornell and Navy.
MilitantIy Independent
AS a member of the football
rules committee, Roper valiantly
fought for gate" reforms rather
than for rules changes, albeit in
relation to this latter he was
open to conviction feeling that
evolution even in football was
logical.

Therefore, We'll start with the
statement that Heartily ("Hunk")
Anderson was not fired two nights
ago or last night or last week. He
was, to every practical purpose,
fired last spring. Nothing that
happened during the lamented
season had a great deal to do with
it, even to the five defeats and one
tie.
These might all have been ex-
alted victories without materially
affecting the situation. It has
been said that alumni criticism
during the season brought on An
derson's denouement, but this is
the sheerest of idle blather. They
may hear their share of alumni
criticism at Notre Dame but
they're fortunately situated. It's
probably an oversight, but they
just don't listen.
Convinced Wrong Man
Briefly, something Of apparent
unimportance happened during
spring practice. I don't know
what it was. Neither does Heartily
Hunk" Anderson. It was nothing
specific; it even was trivial to the
eye. But it convinced the wrong
man that the cherished Rockne
tradition was too soon being for
gotten. In this case, any time is
too soon.
The result, eight months later,
was the abrupt withdrawal of An
derson and the appointment of
Elmer Layden, one of Rockne's
celebrated "horsemen," who is
presumed to be the type that will
revive this hallowed memory and
make it live again.
Originally, the man who was to
do this was Noble Kizer, Of Pur-
due. But Kizer was Harper's
man and Harper. like Anderson,
was carried away in the debris
when the front office was swept
out. The signing of Nal Edward
as one of the assistant coaches,
with Joe Boland and Tom Con-
ley, shows how far they went
with Kizer. Edward was the lat
ter'S end coach at Purdue this
year.
Two Ahead Of Him
But so swiftly did the climax
come that more than one fea-
ture of the original program had
to be abandoned. They had in
tended, for instance. to make
their official announcement of
the change at the annual foot
ball dinner several nights ago,
but decided to withhold the It'd

Green Advocates 30-HOur
Week for Tire Industry

Wahsington.-At a hearing on the
proposed NRA code for the rubber
tire industry, President William
Green, of the American Federation Of
Labor, said that 30-hour working
week was necessary to restore en-
ployment in the industry, and declar-
ed that the shorter week must be
established generally if neal prog
ress is to be made in providing work
for 100000 persons still jobles.
President Green said that increased
production per worker due to inn
provements in manufacturing proc.
esses threatens to further reduce em.
ployment in tire plants. He cited this
as an additional reason for establish.
ing the 30-hour week in tire manu-.
facture and said that some large
plants have been working employees
only "a hours per week. He added
the average has been considerably
under 80 hours.

Association and the Ohio Chamber of
Commerce, headed by George Chan
dler, assisted by some of the oranges,
are the chief enemies of old age PEN
sions.
They are making misleading state
ments concerning the cost of PEN
sions, saying that the yearly expense
in Ohio would soon be 80 rnillion dol
lars. The fact is that New York
state, which has had an old age pen
sion law for several years and whose
population is twice that of Ohio, paid
only Is million dollars in old age
pensions last year. Thirteen states
reporting for last year with more
than 100000 pensions paid only 25
million dollars.
These opponents claim it will in
crease taxes. The records show it is
less costly to pay a pension than to
maintain an old person in a poor
house. The average cost per inmate
per year in poorhouses in Ohio is s506.
The maximum pension that can be
paid to a pensioner is $500 per year.
Few receive the maximum amount.
There can be no increase in taxes
on real estate to provide funds for
old age pensions. This is so because
of the tax limitation clause in the
Ohio constitution.
With President Roosevelt and many
of the other outstanding men and wo-
men of the nation giving their en-
dorsement to old age pensions, the
time has come for Ohio to take its
place alongside the other 25 states
that now have old age pension laws.
The press and the great religious or
ganizations of the country are other
staunch advocates of pensions for the
aged.
The Ohio law fixes the age limit at
65 years. The maximum amount of
the pension for any pensioner is $25
per month. Residents of fraternal and
religious homes are eligible to make
applications for pensions There is
burial expense in the law of not more
than 800.
The proposed Ohio law is simple in
operation, involving little administra-
tive expense; it is highly efficient and
is less costly than the degrading poor
house system. Best of all it will put
an end to herding deserving old peo-
pie in poorhouses. That condition can
not continue in Ohio; age has rights
of its own-to independence and de-
cent comfort and to home in their
own community.

BOYCOTT
To Strike Hard Blow At
Nazis, Says Green

Washington.-Of circulars on
the decision of the recent American
Federation of Labor convention to
boycott German goods will soon go to
labor bodies throughout the nation
President William Green, of the Fed
GRAFTON, announced.
"This official notification" Presi-
dent Green said, will state the action
of the convention and will call upon
all wage earners, organized and un-
organized, to cease buying German
manufactures, products and services
until the German government ceases
its persecution of trade unions and
trade union leaders, and permits
workers once more to organize freely
in unions of their own choosing, and
until persecution of the Jewish peo-
pie is stopped.
81 am assured that already workers
have stopped buying German goods, "
he continued. Il have been informed
in letters, kilograms and personal
conversation that such buying has
been stopped. We realized fully that
the action of the convention was dra-
matte, unprecedented and drastic. We
intended to admonish the Nazi terror,
or to express purely pious wish
that conditions might improve.
"We intended to strike real
blow, hard and definite, for hu-
man freedom We intended it to
be felt.
The convention of the American
Federation of Labor called upon all
American workers to cease buying the
commodities and products Of Ger
many and to cease patronizing serv-
ices originating in Germany, such as
German Shipping. 1t will be considered
unworthy for an American trade
unionist to purchase German-made
product or commodity or to patronize
German shipping in any manner while
this cruel, hideous and fiendish per-
secution continues and while the
Jewish people are prosecuted in like
manner.
"Our convention acted only after
the most thoughtful deliberation, and
after having had indisputable evil
dence of the ferocity of the Nazi per-
sceution. Our motto must be, "We
will not buy German goods until
German workers are free"
