fortunes now controlled by capital

Dor and toll of the working men

man can eat his money. Some
one less fortunate than he must
produce the necessities of life that

ganized labor will never regard
wages as payment In full for la

Those Fighting Irish

LOS ANGELES, Nov. with
the sensational Hawaiian duo of
Herman Wedemeyer and Spike
Cordeiro, a pair of versatile and
unstoppable backs, setting the
pace. st. Mary's Gaels stunned
$4,000 fans in Memorial Stadium
by swamping the Southern Cali
fornia Trojans, 26 to 0.
Thus the mighty Men O. Troy,
who a month ago were touted as
the team to beat out of the Rose
Bowl bid. have skidded into the
also-ran class by losing three
games out of their last four. San
Diego Navy started the Trojan
skid, the University of Washing
ton Huskies handed them their
first Pacific Coast Conference
beating last aSturday and today
1t was ST. Mary's.
The Calls, slight favorites to-
day, stunned the crowd with the
completeness of their victory. The
900 score tells only half of it, as
the Moraoa 17-yearoIds rushed
267 yards on the flat to 81 for the
TroJans, who helped at critical
moments by committing six fun
bIes.
If you have ever seen gang
of 17-year-old Irishmen on a bat
tlefield, you know the only way
the Trojan could beat 'em, was Il
carry them out feet first-espe
cially when two of the gang were
dark Irishmen.

The mere asking for such an

that organized labor is becoming

The employer cannot find a mar

cause being the least organized,
they receive the lowest wages, and

High wage standards will make
