The open air mass meeting planned
for Wednesday afternoon at Ferry
field has been cancelled in favor of
'another to be held in Hill auditorium,
Friday night.
Arrangements which were under
way for the pep gathering Friday
night, according to information from
the Student council, were considered
by Coach Yost as more favorable to
the cause, 'and he suggested that the
meeting Wednesday be cancelled.
Speakers Not Chosen
It has been announced that plans
are already being materialized for a
rousing affair Friday night, in pre-
paration for the battle Saturday at
Ferry field' with the 0. S. U. football
team. Although speakers for the af-
fair have not yet been chosen, it is
understood that the program will be
somewhat similar to the one held
Traditions Day with the exception
that the foremost feature of the eve-
ning will be the impending clash with
the Buckeyes.
Secret Practice In Order
Coach Yost has arrived at the con-
clusion that the more practice his
team will get this week, the better
his. chances. will be for a victory.A
miss meeting on Ferry field in the
afternoon might interfere with this
programtt is thought, in that it would
destroy the object of he coach's sec-
ret practices this week.
The affair Friday evening is being
looked upon as far more advantageous
to the cause. Fresh from a rousing
pep meeting -the night before, the stu-
dents of the University should be in
condition to give the Varsity the prop-
er amount of moral backing during
the contest.
Big Game For Buckeyes
Rumblings from the camp of the
Buckeyes has it that they consider
this contest the most important one of
their schedule. Word from the Ath-
letic association says that hundreds
and maybe thousands of Scarlet and
Grey rooters will accompany them to
Ann Arbor for the contest.
The pep meeting Friday night was
therefore called by the Student coun-
cil to meet the demands of the times.-

(By Associated Press)
t Washington, Oct. 20.-On the eve of
a conference called by the SoCretary
of Labor in the hope of averting the
strike of 500,000 bituminous coal min-.
ers st for Nov. 1, John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, announced tonight that
the strike order would not be rescind-
ed unless operators met all demands
including the five day week.
Operators Stand Firm;
Unless the strike order is with--
drawn the operators will not enter in-
to negotiations looking to an adjust-
ment of the difference according to
Thomas Brewster, head of the coal
operators committee.
The conference tomorrow will be'
attended by Secretary Wilson and the
full scale committee representing:
miners and operators, each committee
comprising 32 members, but t'ie gen-
eral view of each group was that
nothing would conie of the meeting.
Wilson Stilr HJopeful
Secretary Wilson, acting as govern-
ment mediator, still was hopeful to-
night, however, that the faction would
get together and not plunge the coun-
try into a strike at, the beginning of
winter with not more than a month's
stock of coal on h'and.

Progress Made
Real progress toward senate action
on the treaty was made today when
the leaders put at effectual damper

Comedy Club Will
Adopt New Rules
One dramatic program every month
and visits from the more famous act-
ors who happen to come in the vicin-
ity of Ann Arbor, is the. new feature
which the Comedy club is planning for.
the ensuing year. This is expected to
draw out the best dramatic talent on
the campus aid acquaint the members
with rrofessional artists. Talks by
faculty men who afe interested in the
worlk will alo be givep. -
New aaiendmnents to the by-laws of
the constitution of the club will make
it necessary for all members to at-
tend the monthly meetings regularly
unless they wish to relinquish their
membership. This step was taken in
view of the faet that attention to dra-
matic actiyities must be one qualifica-
tion for membership. There are many
able students desiring to get in, and
people no longer interested will not
be retained to hamper the activity.
Richard Forsyth, manager, and Jo-
seph Avery, president, have called a
meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 4
o'clock, in the auditorium of Univer-
sity hall. It is imperative that all
memebrs be present at that time. A
meeting of new members has already
been held and partial plans for the
first meeting in November made.
Women will not be permitted in the
Union after the completion of the
building, except as lheiguests or rela-
tives of members or at certain hours
of the day when members can take
them through. Even when guests or
relatives of members, the women must
use the women's entrance at the side
of the Union.-
As soon as the main door is com-
pleted so as to allow a doorkeeper to.
be stationed there, a man for the pos-
ition will' be selected, and he will ad-
mit only members at that entrance.
This ruling is not a recent one, having;
been a house rule for some time.
"U" Women Not Violators
Lately a great number, of women
havevisited the building at all ti-nes,
and the number of women in the
building, especially last Sunday, caus-
ed the officials to call the public s
attention to the rube. Union officials.
state that it is not the University wom-
en who are'the violators of the rule;
but persons who are in no way con-
nected with the University.
The purpose of the rule'is to make
the Union a man's building, just as
the women have Barbour gymnasium
and Newberry hall. Probably the
house committee will set aside a cer- 1
taro hour of then' day, in the morning,
when members of the Union may show
the building to women friends.
Tap Service ?Also Closed
Women vill be allowed'in the tap
room only between 11 and 12 o'Aock
on Friday and Saturday nights, but at
all other times they will be, refused
service. Owing to the unfinished con-
dition of the building, the Union has
neglected to observe the rule, but of-
ficials state that it will be vigorously I
enforced in the future.
