New Lexington Wins
New Lexington's Panthers car
ried off the much sought after Big
Red championship last Friday when
they defeated McConnelsville's Big
! Reds 1913 on the formers home
floor. Previous to this game M. &
M. and New Lexington had been
running neck and neck in their ef-
forts to cop the title, and the spec
tators. among whom M. & M. Was
exceptionally we'll represented, were
given a good example of what nap
pens when team determined TO
win meets another team equally de-
termined not to lose. The result
the seasons fastest and most spirit
ed game--a rough and tumble affair
even livelier than the game on Jan.
Z. when we beat New Lexington IL
10. M. & MS usual shooting pre-
cision and accuracy was more con-
spicuous on account of its absence.
A fast game inevitably brings in
many fouls, and this game was no
exception to the rule, with 40 fouls
being called during the game Also
unavoidable and disastrous to our
chances was the removal OF TOM
baugh and Steward from the game
by way of the personal foul route.
Handicapped by the loss OF these two
important cogs in our scoring ma
chine, both the hopes and morale OF
our delegation and team received
several jolts, as the ensuing scoring
spree of the Panthers elevated the
lead which they had maintained all
through the game, until 1T was be-
yond our reach. The bitterness OF
our defeat may be alleviated when
we realize that with so many fouls
being called, besides the many other
difficulties and change in posses
sion of the ball during a game, a
play would no sooner be begun
| than it would be interrupted by the
referees whistle, thus forcing our
boys to attempt long or hurried
shots in their effort to score before
they were tied UP by an opposing
player. Although a good part OF
the game was played on the fou
line, neither team completed many
shots. Moreover Bell and Sims may
be complimented on their remark
able part in preventing the game
from becoming fiasco. New Lex
ington also won the reserve game

The team plays at Barnesville
Feb. 25, instead of Feb. 18.
Philo's Electrics added another
link to their chain of victories when
they edged McConnelsville in real
thriller last Tuesday night, defeat
ing our Big Reds $3.50 here on the
home floor. With McConnelsville
playing undoubtedly the best brand
of basketball she has put out this
season, the defeat of the invaders
seemed certain until Philo set In
her "shock troops" second string
almost as good as the main team.
Worn and exhausted in body, but
by no means having given up to dis
couragement in mind, our boys
were finally overwhelmed by the re-
lentless drive and speed OF the com
paratively fresh substitutions which
Philo kept sending into the game.
Considering the fact that we really
played against two teams, the boys
should be congratulated for cont
peting so equally with such un-
equal odds, instead of being rldi-
culed for losing. In the Reserve
game, Philo defeated our Reserves,
25.13, and our Junior high quln-
tet completed their basketball
schedule by winning over Phllos

San Francisco Store
Clerks Approve Of
Peace Terms in Vote

SAN FRANCISCO-(FP)-By the
close vote of 1908 to 1,O14, the
striking Retail Store Clerks Union
(AFL) has accepted the terms Of
Mayor Rossi's committee Of 10 for
settlement of the 7-week strike af-
fecting 1000 workers in more than
30 department stores. The Retailers
Council had already accepted the
terms unanimously.
All workers were expected TO be
back in the stores promptly after
signing of the contract. Pickets were
removed from all stores except the
Kress and Newberry shops, which
were struck by a different local.
The close vote indicates that the
settlement was not altogether a
victory. Neither was it a defeat.
The union did not gain the union
shop or preferential hiring, but a
satisfactory seniority agreement has
been reached, with an arbitrator to
settle disputes which get beyond the
adjustment board.
The basic wage has been raised
from $18 to $40 a week; vacations
were set at one week for nj years
employment and two weeks there
after; four hours pay was guaran-
teed to all employees reporting for
work; and notices Of discharge will
be given in writing.
While the union lost nothing ii
had last year, neither did it gain
anything beyond that. In other
words, this is practically a renewal
of the 1887 contract, with some
minor improvements. The agree
ment could have been signed months
ago if the employers had not bolted
negotiations, refused arbitration, and
forced the strike on the workers.

French Deal
Will MOI Prevent War,
Says German Laboriie

NEW YORK.-(FP)-The Anglo
French deal which sold out the
Czech people to Adolf Hitler was
denounced here at a meeting adj
dressed by perhaps the most dis
tinguished group of European labor
leaders ever on an American plat
form together.
More than 5000 people heard the
speakers praise the Spanish people
for their valiant fight against fas-
cism. Again and again the cry was
raised, by speakers and audience:
Lift the embargo against loyalist
Spain"
DR.. Karl Deutsch, leader Of the
German Social Democratic Party and
as blond an Aryan al any of Hitler's
fairest, predicted that the sale of the
Czech people by France and Eng
land would not lead to peace. Hit
ler's appetite grows with each new
victory and another world wal is
sure to come, he said.
Called by the Trade Union Relief
for Spain, the meeting was also
addressed by Spanish Ambassador
Fernando de los Rios, Gen, Sec. Leon
Jouhaux of the French Confedera-
ton of Labor, Pres. David Dubinsky
of the Init. Ladies Garment Workers
Union, and the Spanish minister of
Justice, Ramon Gonzalez Pena.
Jouhaux declared that fascism
would not be stopped until the labor
movement throughout the world
united in opposition to the inter
national threat to peace and security.
Unity is the first thing to be
achieved" he said. Several thousand
dollars was collected for Spain.
