This season no exception ap-

Of veterans are on deck and most
Of these have had but one or two
chances to play football under
fire.
Plans Work
However, Coach Gardner plans
getting to work pronto towards
developing some sort Of team to
tackle the rather tough schedule
ahead.
First off, he has Captain Elkin
Franklin, 145 pound halfback.
Jack Dettweiler, weighing 130
pounds, and Billy Byrd, about the
same weight, are other backfield
vets. Completing the backfield is
Bob O'Shaugnessy, 140-pound full
back.
The team has two heavy candi-
dates for backfield positions in
the persons of Tom Nurre, 150-
FOUNDER, and Manning O'Connor,
160-pounder, but these youngsters
are handicapped by inexperience.
Two very light youngsters are also
trying for ball-carrying berths,
namely, Bill MCGOWAN. Jr., son Of
the American League umpire, and
Bob Fahrendorf. They are handi-
capped by inexperience, however,
quite like their teammates, Nurre
and O'Connor.
Morse at Center
Berwin Morse, center, is the big
veteran on the line. Reds Cullen,
guard, is another. The other line
men are all first year men. They
include Dick Canning, Harry
Schaeffer, Bud DAILY, Alfonso Port
uondo, Ed Cummings, Ray Hig-
gins, John Schroeder, Brutus Clay
and Carroll Sheehan.

receive the support of the working
class. After a thorough discussion, a
motion was made for endorsement.
The vote was unanimous for the
Workers Unemployment and Social

The committee representative
stressed the question of the Negro

in the unions. 1t was pointed our
that the bosses are keeping the liv-

down and that this lowers the liv-

AS long as the white and Negro
workers get equal pay for equal
work and equal relief, the bosses
will not have any way to discrimi-

of living for themselves. The work
ers cheered this part of the talk,
especially the white miners, who
realize the necessity of unity.
The workers are preparing for
struggles in the near future and
they say that it will not be like
the last strike. This time they are
going to kick out the takers and
run the strike the way they think
it should be run. They don't plan
on letting the bosses get in to the

to have a mass picket line that will
stop the scabs before they get

Emergency measures to recap
ture the cotton textile markets
American exporters have lost to
Japan were urged on the Presi-
dents Cabinet textile committee
yesterday.
Donald Conner, of Birmingham,
president of the American Cotton
Manufacturer Association, declar.
ing every branch of the textile in
dustry is Stagnant, told the COM
mittee the situation has become
desperate.
He said:
eve ought not to be forced to
lose completely our markets in
the Philippines and Latin
America.
"In the face of our severe
losses, it is most natural we
should show tremendous con-
Germ over increasing imports
from Japan. Our cotton exports
have fallen from per cent OF
the domestic consumption to a
little over per cent.
IAN evidence of the menace in
impOrtatiOnS of Japanese cotton
goods is clearly shown in the
fact that in 1888 our imports Of
cotton fabrics from that nation
were only 319 per cent of the to-
tai imports from the principal
nations of the world. In 1884 it
had grown to ~ per cent and in
January and February, 1885,
reached 68 per cent.
"ThiS increase, therefore, from
1888 to January, February and
March of this year is at the rate
of $500 per cent"
Taking sharp issue with New
England mill owners who de-
manded equalization of the North
and South differential, spokesman
from the South asked that the
wage margin be widened.

procession.
Rain or Shine
The parade will take place, rain
or shine, it was officially stated,
but if it is wet the state landaus
of the King and the royal family
will be closed instead Of open.
A recent drizZle made the half
completed decorations along the
route look a little bedraggled, but
they dried and the streets were
crowded with sightseers now
SWarming into London.
Londoners, always optimistic
about their weather, declare that
even if it rains this weekend, a
bit of sunshine will put everything
right again. Old-timers recall it is
always fine weather for a royal
Jubilee.
Stands Everywhere
Every corner along the route
where stands can be erected has
been used, even old churches along
the Strand having been almost
concealed by scaffolding. Tests of
the floodlighting, probably the
most spectacular ever attempted,
have proved satisfactory. There
will be q bonfireS in London and
