Labor Party Urges Members to Stand
by Miners Against Power of
Organized Capital
(By Associated Press)
London, April 7. - Another day of
tense alternation of hope and fear end-
ed with one of the prime minister's
characteristic eleventh hour interven-
tions, brin'ging renewed prospects that
the grave industrial crisis will be
averted. He announced in the house
of commons tonight the willingness of
the government to participate 'in a
conference to discuss the question of
pumping before other matters were
considered.
Informal conferenfces continued
throughout the evening in an endeav-
or to induce the miners to relent on
the question of resuming pumping as
a preliminary move to 'negotiations,
and it was supposed that the whole
question was turning on this slendr
hope.
Plan Brings Hope
Premier Lloyd George had been ab-
sent, during 'the latter hours of 'the
d te on thetsituation, but returned to
the house unexpectedly at 11 o'clock
and informed the members that the
government had agreed to a course,
which it is believed practically cer-
tain the miners will accept - the call-
ing of a conference of owners and
miners to discuss with the goverment
the difficulties relative to pumping the
mines before touching upon the ques-
tion of wages and other matters in-
volved in the demands of the inen.
Reason for Change Unknown
What steps led up to this change of
front are unknown as yet. The coun-
cil of the independent labor party to-
day called upon its member, to sup-
port the miners by every means in
their power, declaring the crisis was
due t0 an attempt on the part of or-
ganized capitalsxi to establish the
right of unlimited plunder and de-
grade the standard of living, which
must be resisted at all costs.
Copies Made Of
Detroit Gazette
Complete photostat copies of the
files of the ;etroit Gazette, the first
successful newspaper published in
Michigan, covering editions between
the years 1820 and 1822, have just
been finished under .the direction of
the Library staff.
These copies comprise volumes
three, four, five, and six of the origin-
al collection which has been obtained
chiefly from the Burton Histoical
library of Detroit. Omissions in this
file have been filled from other sourc-
es. Volumes one and two have al-
ready been made and shipped.
Will Cost $235
The copies, which cost $235 for the
four volumes, will be sent to sub-
scribing libraries: Regent W. L.
Clements' library of Bay City, whose
generosity by subscribing for three
copies, :made possible the, completion
of the work, Grand Rapids library,
State library of Indiana, Newberry
library of Chicago, Wisconsin Histor-
ical society, Minnesota Historical so-
ciety, University of Illinois library,
University of Texas library, New York
Historical society, and the Missouri
Historical society library.
Negatives of each edition of the
Kentucky G4.zette, the first paper print-
ed west of the Alleghenies, for the
years 1787-1800, have also been com-
pleted. This file is of especial interest
for "most of the early history of the
Ohio valley has been written from
this file," said William. W. Bishop,
librarian.
Not Accessible Now
The original file is owned by the
Lexington Public library which loan-
ed it to the Library for the purpose
of making negatives.
These copies of the papers will be
on file at the Library at a later date

SUMMER' SCHOOL OFFERS
COURSE IN OIENTAL 9AT
Study of the arts of Oriental peo-
ples in the near and far East, to be
introduced by the course of Prof.
Herbert R. Cross, of the fine arts de-
partment, on Oriental art in the
Summer session, is a new thing in
this country, according to Dean E. H.
Kraus. This is the first time that a
course has been given in the subject
in the United States, although some
attempt has been made in recent years
to learn more of eastern peoples by
artists and research workers.
Professor Cross, in an interview,
said that collections of eastern art in
this country are very meager, Mich-
igan owning practically nothing of
the sort and the only one of any size
being in Boston.
Six courses in actuarial, statistical,
and financial mathematics will also
be offered in the Summer session, ac-
cording to a special announcement
that may be secured at Dean Kraus'
office. These courses are open to
regular students of the Summer ses-
sion and, according to the Dean, of-
fer special advantages for individual
instructin-.
Applications for the French house,
where a special French environment
will be offered, have been so many as
to nearly fill its capacity, according to
Prof. A. G. Canfield, who is in charge
of the plan. He urges' that any. new
applicants for admission inform him
as soon as possible if they hope to se-
fornia, under the auspices of various
Michigan alumni associations, will
rally to the standards of the Maize
and Blue, in reserved sections.

Berkeley, April 7. - Coach Steve
Farrell of the Michigan Varsity track
team handed out a stiff afternoon's
program to his proteges today. The
drill started at 3:15 and ended at 6
o'clock. The Wolverine mentor seem-
ed well pleased- at the result of the
practice.
Charles Cruikshank, Varsity broad
jumper, proved to be the sensation of
the day by leaping 23 feet 3 inches in
the running broad jump. This is 6
inches farther than any Michigan or
California jumper has done this year.
Michigan's chance to win this event
was thereby much enhanced.
The morning was given over to en-
tertainment, the track team being
shown the sights of San Francisco in
an extensive automobile tour. At
noon the team was the guest of honor
at a luncheon given by the Olympic
club.
As guests of the University of Cahl-
fornia tonight the team will attend
the annual axe rally in the open air
Greek theater, and tomorow a long
automobile trip has been planned
through the nearby country. A short
praetice session has been planned by
Coach Farrell.

U. S. Has Surrendered None of
eign Possession Rights, Ac-
cording to Hughes Note
GOVERNMENT EXPECTS ALLIES1
TO RESPECT THIS DOCTRINEr
(By Associated Press)f
Washington, April 7.-Administra-t
tion officials, it may be stated with
authority, confidently expect the Al-
lied governments to accept the prin-
ciple restated by Secretary Hughes
in his note of last Monday to those'
governments that the United Statest
has surrendered none of its rights in1
the overseas pdssession of Germany
and it cannot be bound by decisions
affecting those possessions made by
the League of Nations without its as-
sent.
There is reason to believe that the
correspondence on this subject, which
was initiated last November, will not
be disclosed until the receipt of the
reply from the Japanese' British,
French, and Italian foreign olices. .In'
the event that the four powers do not
find their way to an agreement with
the American viewpoint there would
arise a situation, action on which of-
ficials refuse today to forecast.
