Government Officials' Threat of Bars
Fais to Faze 590 Switchmen
at Cleveland
BOTH FACTIONS REMAIN FIRM
IN NEW YORK RAIL TROUBLE
(By Associated Press)
Cleveland, April 23.---Five hundred
striking switchmen at a meeting today
agreed rather to go to jail than return*
to work after officials of the depart-
ment of justice requested the strike
leaders to tell them that all of them,
approximately 1,500, would be arrest-
ed if not back by morning. This was
after John Sawken, department of Jus-
tice agent who attended the meeting,
had demanded that the strike leaders
order the men to return to work or
themselves be thrown in jail.
Government Gives Warning
The government warning given by
Frank O'Rourke, president of the
Cleveland Yardmen's association,
brought a noisy demonstration from
the men at the meeting. After the an-
nouncement Sawken called the 15
leaders into a private room, where he
told them of the government's plans.
The leaders returning to the meet-
ing informed the men of the govern-
ment's proposal.
"Every man who wishes to avoid ar-
rest by returning to his Job will kind-
ly rise and leave the room," they said.
Many men moved. "Every man who
chooses prison bars to wages will
rjse," O'Rourke said. The 500 men
rose in a body, cheering and shouting.
Sawken Attends Meeting
The government officials' next move
had not been decided upon tonight. Mr.
Sawken went to a closed meeting of
the strikers today and personally ap-
pealed to the strikers to, return to.

"Registration of Union members will
be greatly expedited with the begin-
r ning of the fall semester, according to,
plans of the committee- having this
matter in charge," stated George Hur-
ley, general secretary of the Union,
yesterday.
The cards to be filled out for tabu-
f lation by the Union will be. less than
one-half the size of the ones issued last
t fall, but will cover the same infor-
- mation. Condensation of space has
been attained by a simplified grouping
of activities. Thus the'same informa-
tion will be obtained, but on half the
t number of cards used in the first reg-
istration. Again, only the master card
wilt hav.e to be signed, contrary to the'
plan last year of signing all the cards
filled out.
Another plan to increase the effi-
ciency of this registration, but contin-
gent upon the approval of the secre-
taries of the various departnemts, is
to issue these blanks with the rest of
P a man's registration cards and have
him fill them all out at the same time.
E He will then present his Union blank,
duly filled out, at the desk in the
Union building in exchange for his
membership card. If such a plan
meets with the approval of the vari-
ous secretaries it will eliminate regis-
tratior in the Union building, and will
permit the grouping of cards under the
different departments.

SMALL TORNADO STRIKES IN,
SOUTHWEST PART OF COUNTY
A small tornado, of which the rain-
storm here was a part, struck the
country southwest of Ann Arbor at
about 4 o'clock Thursday. The worst
damage was done at Lodi and Milan,
where many barns and houses were
destroyed and cattle killed. As far as
is known no lives were lost.
New York, April 23.-The refusal of
railroad heads to modify their ultima-
tum and the equal determination of
the strikers to hold out tonight de-
stroyed all hopes for a, complete set-
tlement of the railroad difficulty in the
metropolitan district.
Leaders Not Discouraged
A statement by the general mana-
ger's assistant that "Intervention by
all mayors in cities of the east could.
not alter the railroad position," did
not discourage strike leaders.
Tonight the strikers placed hope in
a meeting of mayors of New Jersey
cities, where they expect a resolu-
tion to be passed approving granting
them seniority rights. The committee
of strikers will call on Mayor Hyla.n,
to enlist his aid in their behalf'
Summer Session
Prospects $B right
Prospects for the coming mmer
session are shown to be. unusually
promising by the large number of in-
quiries that have been flooding the
University offices. Advance registra-
tions are by far more numerous this
year than ever before.
Prof. G. R. La Rue, director of the
Biological station, said yesterday that
the advance registrations to date total-
led more than the entire attendance
at the station last summer. He said
that already the living accommoda-
tions had all been reserved, but that
there were stiltslaboratory accommo-
dations for many more students. Pro-
fessor La Rue expects the attendance
this summer to surpas by far any
former. record.

ELL-RONDPROGRAM'
(L. H.)
With a chorus of 30 male voices, and
a well-rounded program of 16 num-
bers, the Copper Country Choral club
concert was presented at 8:15 o'clock
last night in Hill huditorium.
Miss Hazel Silver, lyric soprano,
scored a decided success with her
"Summer" and "I Heard a Cry," while
her several other offerings were re-
ceived with hearty applause by the
audience. Will Hall, baritone soloist,
a well-known favorite in previous
choral concerts., offered two solos,
"Vision Fair'" and "Invictus."
The numbers presented by the chor-
us proved a distinct hit. "Italian
Salad," a musical concoction pleasing
because of its originality and artistic
presentation, was the most popular
offering of the evening, while "Sum-
mer's Lullaby" and "Myra," with Har-
ry E. King, director of the concert,
taking the tenor part, were well ap-,
plauded.
Miss Lyle E strom, pianist, de-
serves special mention because of her
splendid interpretation in accompani-
ment.

E'
One point upon which all engineers
agree is that the society under its
present organization does not fulfill
the functions for which it was organ-
ized. This circumstance has been of
long standing and it has been one of
the main reasons why the various spe-
cialized societies have been introduc-
ed and have grown so rapidly. As a
result of these specialized societies the
Engineering society is now in a po-
sition 'where it finds itself of practi-
cally no influence. Everyone realiz-
es, however, that in the society, there
lie many possibilities for real service
if it undergoes complete reorganiza-
tion, and many are of the opinion that'
the recommendations of 'the Senior
class committee are the most feasible
yet offered.
General Society Desired
There are a great many engineering
students and faculty members who
vwrould like to see a big, efficient, gen-
eral engineering society that would
include all engineers. As it is now,
freshmen are not eligible for the ppe-
cialized societies and since there is no
incentive for them to join the Engi-
neering society under present condi-
tions, they lose many of the benefits
that could be obtained through affilia-
tion with a live organization. "The
onlyadvantage that I can see in be-
lon* Bing to the Engineering society is
that you have a room in which to
smoke," stated a prominent engineer
recently.
Broadening Influence Missed
-Advocates of a big, general society
argue that there is a tendency these
days for engineers to confine them-
selves to one specific engineering field
too early in their college careers and
thereby miss the great broadening in-
Quence which might be obtained
through affiliation with a general so-
ciety. Since the specialized societies
are now well established here and are
doing a good work, the general opinion
is to the effect that the recommenda-
tions of the investigation committee
should be accepted and the Nyork of
reorganizing the Engineering society
along the lines it suggested be started
at once.

NO "SCHlOO MARMS" IN THIS
YEAR' VASSAR SENIOR CLASS
Registrar A. G. Hall expressed him-
self' as being certain that if no un-
foreseen difficulties arose, there would
be nothing to prevent this being the
largest Summer session in the history
of the University.;
Dean Bates. stated that he believed
the attendance in the Law school this
summer would be fully as Ilrge as last
year, which was marked by the larg-
est enrollment in the history of the
school. In view of the fact that many
of the students are following the reg-
ular three Summer session program,
he would not venture to estimate the
number of other students who would
enroll in law courses.
Dean J. R. Effinger, of the College
of Literature, Science, and, Arts, says
that he is confident that an unusually
