has probably eXacted from the Gov
ernment the substance, if not the
form, of his original demands.
Negotiations between Mr.. Lewis
and Secretary Krug have proceeded
under the rose. Secretary Krug,
properly enough. wanted to know
whether Mr.. Lewis and he could
agree upon the terms of con-
tract, and my guess is that they
were able to agree ION principle"
After a tip-off from Mr.. Lewis, the
mines were taken over. In the
course and in full panoply, Mr..
Lewis and the Secretary of the In
terror, with their attendant heralds,
knights, squires and outriders, will
proceed ostentatiously to negotiate"

which will already have been
agreed upon.
Sees Nation as Loser.
The terms of the Governments
agreement with John L. Lewis will
be forced upon the operators. My
guess is that the new contract, if
its terms have not already been an
nounced, will make it amply clear
that the country has lost in this
latest brush with Mr.. Lewis. The
only setback for Mr. Lewis will be
that he will not be permitted to ad-
minister the welfare fund that will
be set up.
The administrations I can read
between the lines of the bill intro
duced by Senator Byrd that is pend
ing in the Senate-will provide for
joint administration on some yet
undermined basis by the operators
and the miners. Instead of a well
fare fund of per cent upon the
gross payrolls which would amount
to about s70,000,000 a year, there
will be reduction, either to per
cent of the gross payrolls or to 5
cents ton of the coal mined. The

Tar Heel Grid Team of '92
Ranks With Best In State

The '92 eleven undoubtedly is
one of the great Carolina teams. It
might naturally be concluded that
the players were heavy and big,
but such was not the case. Only
three could have compared with
modern weight charts: Kirkpatrick
at 230, Murphy 200, and Snipes 1875.
The others weighed from IA TO ITO.
The first eleven average 155 in the
backfield and 100 in the line. Caro-
lina's 1915 team averaged 1870 in
the backfield and 1875 in the line.
The Virginia defeat in 1892 might
well be termed the beginning of
the carolina football spirit" for
after that game the team felt
tears in their hearts, and resolved
to remove them by victories. Thus
in 1892 was the Carolina spirit
born.

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 26. - The
death this month of Walter "Pete''
Murphy, veteran Salisbury legisla-
tor and longtime University Of
North Carolina friend and trustee,
recalls many stories of the famous
Carolina eleven of 1892 on which
he played.
The 'Wonder Team as it be-
came known, brought with it the
first real season of football at The
Hill. Reports in the student maya
zine for that year predicted a great
team. 1t will surpass any we have
had in the past" the forecast read.
Football had just been started
at Chapel Hill in 1888, but history
amply bore out the prediction. The
'92 eleven not only was the first
great University of North Carolina
team, but it's record still stands
high after half a century.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Enlist- ed men of the United States occupa- : ton force in Vienna, Austria, have appealed to Rep. Delacy (D-Wash) to ask the War Department why so many high point men must be kept there.
 Delacy also received cables from enlisted men of the 18th Army at Frankfort, Germany, and from en- listed men at Adak, Alaska, in the Aleutians, asking his aid in getting them sent home.
 A cable, signed by T. Sgt. William Hayett, representing 36l men of Headquarters special troops in Vien- na, said there were IA Generals. 46 Colonels, 91 Lieutenant Colonels, 131 Majors, 194 Captains. 233 First Lieu tenants and 92 Second Lieutenants, and 12,000 enlisted men in Vienna.
 "A good part of the l2,000 enlist ed men in Vienna" the cable read, "are engaged in serving this heavy load of brass. Is this blackmail by the Army to get the nation to sup port compulsory military training?"
 Deiaey said over the telephone from Seattle, Wash. he would ask the War Department for an explan- ation. He said the Army now has 5,000,000 men while the War Depart ment had said only 500 900 are need ed for occupation purposes.
