THE WEATHER PROBABLY SNOW; LITTLE TEMPERATURE CHANGE r 5k I§U :43ait j ASSOCIATED PRESS DRAY AND NIGHIT1111 SERVICE VOL. XXXI. No. 84. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1921. PRICE FIVE PRICE FIVE r INDUSTRIAL LABOR REDUCED 37 PER' KENT SINCE 1920 NUMBER OF PERSONS EMPLOYED 8,47,459 LESS THAN YEAR AGO GOVERNMENT FINISHES NATIONWIDE SURVEY Workers May Now Be Following Other Pursuits Not Covered by Investigation (By Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 25.-The number of persons employed in industries in this country the first of this month numbered 3,473,456 less than the number employed a year ago, the de- partment of labor's employment serv- ice announced tonight on the basis of the first nation-wide survey just completed by a special s ff of in- vestigators. Director John B. Densmore said this figure did not necessarily repre- sent the number of persons actually unemployed as it was "quite possi- ble" that some of the workers had found employment in agricultural or other pursuits not covered by the sur- vey. Number May Be Larger On the other hand, some officials believe the army of unemployed pos- sibly was larger than the figures giv- en as no 'effort was being made to ascertain that reduction in the num- ber of persons employed in pursuits other than those classed under the head of "mechanical industry." The employment service figures represented a reduction of 36.9 per cent in the number of workers em- ployed in industry as compared with January a year ago, and it was an- nounced that they were based "on a consensus pf figures from neutral bod- ies competent to furnish authorita- tive information." Michigan led the states in propor tional reduction with 82 per cent and Ohio and Indiana followed with a re- duction of 50 per cent each. Next came Illinois with 44 per cent; Con- necticut with 43 per cent; Massacr- setts with 38 per cent; Wisconsin 32 per cent; New York 28 per cent; and New Jersey 22 per cent. Percentages for the other states were not given. Auto Industry Largest Reducer The largest percentage of reduction in specific industries, 59 per cent, oc- curred in the automobile and acces- sory industry and this was taken to account largely for the great reduc- tion in employment in Michigan. This industry, the employment service an- nouncement said, employed about 8 per cent of the total workers in all industries in the country a year ago. Second in rank in the reduction of employes was the building trades with approximately 52 per cent. Last Jan- uary about 11 per cent of the total industrial workers were employed in this industry. 50 ROOMING CASES HEARD AND ACTED UPON BY BUREAU More than 50 cas"s of students de- siring to change their rooms at the end of this semester were heard and acted upon at the meeting of the University Housing bureau Monday afternoon, Any others who wish . to make changes of rooms are reminded of the University ruling which necessi- tates obtaining permission from the bureau before a change can be made.

WOUNDED STUDENT BETTER LAST NIGHT BULLETIN The condition of August G. Mulehlhausser P23 was reported by the University hospital au- thorities early this- morning to be about the same. Little im- provement in his condition was noted either Monday or Tuesday. August C Muehlhauser, '23, of San- dusky, Ohio, who was shot by Patrol- man Clark early Sunday morning, was resting comfortably at the Uni- versity hospital last night. "He is rather better, but not yet out of dan- ger," is the statement of Dr. Cabot, j the surgeon who operated upon him and who is in charge of the case. Jacob F. Fahrner, prosecuting at- torney, declared this morning that circumstances surrounding the case are being investigated, but that he would not know for several days whether circumstances would justify prosecuting Clark. TRACK MEN GATHER FOR1 ANNUAL PEP MEETINGI CMPINSLCTNBEGINS; EARLY RETURNS INGOMPLEl GOOD REPORTS EXPECTED TOI I TACTICS OF FORCING CONSIDERED SOUND OPPONENTS DELAY BY TRACK SCHEDULE OUTLINED DIRECTOR P. G. BARTEL31E BYI (By Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 25.-The Fordney emergency tariff bill was brought in- to the senate for consideration to- day, but immediately ran into a small but effective filibuster. Merits of the bill and reasons for its early enact- ment by the senate had scarcely been outlined by Senator McCumber, Re- publican, North Dakota, before Sen- ator- Harrison, Democrat, Mississip- pi, launched an attack which contin- ued until adjournment. The tactics in forcing delay of con- sideration at this time were consid- ered sound by opponens in as much as the post office appropriation bill is scheduled for tomorrow and several other money supply bills are expected to be ready when that measure is out of the way. % Class to Study International Relations A class for the study 'of interna- tional relations which is to meet once every two weeks to engage in discus- sion has, been formed by Prof. Jona- than A. Hildner of the German de- partment. Membership in the class is limited to those affiliated with the Cosmopolitan club. The text book to be used is "Social Progress and Dar- winian Theory" by George Nasmyth. Prof. C. 0. Sauer Lectures at Bay City Prof. C. O. Sauer, of the geography department, spoke on matters pertain- ing to northern Michigan before a meeting of the Northeast. rn Michigan development bureau last night at Bay City.

Allies to Call Greek-Turk Conference Paris, Jan. 25.-The supreme coun- cil of the Allies today decided to call a conference of Allied representatives with representatives of Greece and Turkey in London at an early date to settle the Near-East question. Oregon Offers Dobie Lucrative Place Eugene, Ore., Jan. 25. -- Gilmour Dobie, football coach at Cornell, has been offered $8,500 to coach football at the University of Oregon, accord- ing to announcement here today. i 1 I OVER THE WIRE Washington, Jan. 25. - Republican leader' In the house today gave their approval of the program which calls for the construction of five hospitals for war veterans suffering from men- tal and nervous disorders and tuber- culosis. Representative Longley, Re- publican, Kentucky, chairman of the public buildings committee, announc- ed he would introduce a bill appro- priating $13,000,000 for such hospi-" tals. He said assurance had been given that it will be taken up for passage by the house early next week. Florence, Ala., Jan. 25.-A plot to exterminate the entire force of pro- hibition enforcement officers operat- ing in Northern Alabama has been unearthed, according to N. L. Pierce, state supervisor. Discovery of the plot, he said today, followed the ar- rest of all persons in connection with the killing last Saturday of Don Stephenson, a member of a prohibi- tion squad, and the wounding at the same time of two other officers. Mr. Pierce declared there was reason to believe that state and country officers, as well as federal, were marked for elimination. Michigan's track athletes and those interested in the sport gathered last' evening in the Physics' lecture hall for the annual track pep meeting. Al- though the number present was rel- atively small, the meeting may right- ly be considered one of the best that has been held. Each speaker carried home his point to the track candi- dates. Manager Richard Fischer, '21E, acted as chairman of the even- ing.1 Johnson Opens Program Carl Johnson opened the programj with an appeal to every man pres- ent. "To make good at track, one, must live track. Think it in every thing you do," were his closing words of advice. P. G. Bartelme, director of the Athletic association, followed and outlined the best schedule that any Michigan track team has ever had. Nothing has been left undone by the association to obtain the best and strongest comptition that it was possible to arrange. "It is a sched- ule deserving of our ability," said Mr.- Bartelme. On behalf of his team, Capt. Larry Butler told of the grievances and for- mer defeats that the men were out to repay. What he expected of his men as captain was forcefully presented to them. In the principal speech of the meeting, Coach Farrell appealed to, every man to come out and work. As, a prime requisite for a successful year, the matter of complete co-opera- tion among all the members on the squad and the coaches was stressed. Coach Farrell put the question of training squarely up to the men and, promised that every candidate would receive the squarest possible deal. Carver Speaks In continuing the program, Prof. H. C. Carver, of the mathematics de- partment and star half miler on the Varsity some years ago, urged the men to put forth all that they had in them. He brought home the point that everything that is necessary for a good track team such as coaches, equipment, schedule, has been pro- vided by the association and that it is now up to the men themselves. Particularly sound was the sugges- tion made by former Capt. "Red" Don- nelly that every man throughout the year study his opponents or his likely opponents in his own event. In this way each could get a line on what he would have to do to come across with the necessary points. He. also suggested preparing dope sheets on all meets. FIRE BREAKS OUT IN LARGE COAL PILE AT POWER PLANT Fire which broke out Sunday in the large pile of soft coal at the Univer- sity power plant continued to smould- er Monday and Tuesday. The fire, according to Edward C. Pardon, sup- erintendent of the buildings grounds department, was caused by spontane- ous combustion and will probably con- sume a large amount of coal before it dies out. Lack of rocn for piling :he coal in small piles has resulted in a fire of this nature every year for the past few years._ SENIO1 LIT MEETING l The senior lit class will hold an important meeting at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon in room 205, Mason hall. This meeting will be of vital import- ance to every member of the senior lit class. I I "'WISE IS A BLIND ILEDR NEW YORK TIMES EXCERPTSt CITED TO S JPPORT PROFES- SOR'S CHARGES, Editor, The Michigan Daily:t I note in your issue of Tuesday1 morning the interview with Professor Trueblood. It is not my custom tot reply to personal abuse, the last fivec years having made me somewhat cal- loused in this respect. It is quite oth-t erwise. as respects attacks upon the correctness of my statements. Thet war record of ex-Senator BeveridgeI can wait, but I should like to back up1 my statements concerning Rabbi Wiset by the followiig extracts drawn from1 the files of the New York Times. On Peace Sunday, Oct. 5, 1914, Rab-l bi Wise had read from his pulpit a prayer prepared by the pro-German. Walter Rauschenbusch, which was in part as follows: "We thank Thee. O God, for the firmness and sagacity of our President and his advisers, which cooled ourc own lust for war. * * * Grant our peo- ple a sober and neutral mind, etc." When GEmany's motif of propa- ganda was that the war had been caused by British secret diplomacy: Rabbi Wise's statement was: "I blame secret diplomacy for the present war." (Times, Nov. 22, 1914). A month later Rabbi Wise said: "It was the duty of clergymen, schoolf teachers, and the press to counteract the influence being exerted to increase the armaments of this country. War preparedness is war provocation * * *"' When nearly six months after the£ sinking of the Lusitania, Mr. Wilson had half-heartedly advocated a mild national defense, Rabbi Wise "deplor- ed the fact that President Wilson had come put for n'tional preparedness." (Times, Oct. 11, 1915). Feb. 10, 1916, with the pacifiists Vil- lard, Howe and others, he appeared before the House Military Affairs com- mittee to be heard against prepared- ness. (Continued on Page Three) VIOLATORS OF TRADITIONS ; PUNISHED BY COMMITTEE Violators of Michigan traditions were reprimanded or punished last night at the weekly meeting of the underclass conduct committee. TheI chief offense was failure to wear the freshman toque. It was emphasized by members of the committee that the toque is not intended as an indignity but rather as a teans of promoting good fellowship among members of, the freshman class. It is desired that the names, class- es, and addresses of all offenders be, turned in to them at the member-I ship desk on the first floor of the Union. R. Jerome Dunne, '22, repre- sented the Student council at the meeting. LECTURE ON PALESTINE TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT BY SWAIN "Palestine from a Motor Car" will be the subject of the illustrated lee- ture to be deliv4Ted by George R. Swain, assistant in Latin, at 8:15 o'clock tonight in Alumni Memorial hall. The lecture is under the au- spices of the Ann Arbor Art asso- ciation and is free to members, non- members will be charged 25 cents admission. The annual meeting of the association for the election of offi- cers will precede the lecture, begin- ning at 7:45 o'clock, MORE VOLUNTEER CANVASSERS TO DO WORK ARE NEEDED WOMEN GIVING MORE GENEROUSLY THAN MEN Proceeds of Special Movie and Union Dance Will Go to Swe. .ng Total Receipts Active soliciting for the University of Michigan relief fund campaign with $15,000 as its goal began Tuesday. Little data was available last night on the progress of the campaign, since the majority of the workers will turn in their first reports today. Early returns indicate that the wo- men are responding more generously than the men. Beginning this morn- ing the amount raised each day will be recorded on a huge thermometer which will be placed in the entrance to the Library. It is the aim of the committee to make the mercury "g over the top" by Friday night when the campaign ends. Gives 'Opportunity to Sere More volunteer solicitors are needed to do work among the independent men. As President Marion L. Burton pointed out in his address Monday, the present drive presents a fine op- portunity for anyone to perform a real service to humanity. None of the solicitors from the fol- lowing organizations have reported at the Union desk for their lists of men: Triangles, Vulcans, Commerce Club, Forestry club, Calumet club, Saglnaw club, Newark club, and Mt. Clemens club. All members on the committees of these societies are requested to re- port at the Union desk today. They are also asked to leave their names and the name of the organzation which they respettivey represent. President Burton has requested all members of the faculty to speak of the campaign in their classes in ordet that there may be no students who will not have had the movement call- ed to their attention, To Give Benefit Movie Saturday morning the management of the Majestic theater is giving a special performance, all the receipts of which will go to the fund. The ad- mission will be 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. A dance will be given from 2:30 to S o'clock Saturday afternoon in the Union assembly hall, the proceeds of which will also g to the fund. An admission fee $ 50 cents will be charged. George E. Rogers, '21E, has offered the services of his orchestra for the occasion. It will simplify the work of the com- mittee if contributors will make checks out to "cash." It is hoped that the students will realize the seriousness of the sit'.a- Lion both in China and in Europe which this campaign is aiming to bet- ter. Everyone is urged to give as much as he can and not to limit his contribution to $3.00. GIRL GRADUALLY RECOVERING FROM COMATOSE CONDITION Iona Poland, 'the 15 year old girl found lying unconscious on the side. walk near State and Williams strt_ early Monday morning, is recovering from the comatose condition in whie she has been since she was found. According to Doris Johnson, 1, the friend with whom Miss Poland spent Friday' and Saturday nights and Sun- day evening, there was nothing of which she was aware of to account for the condition of her friend. About 7 o'clock Sunday evening, the two girls, escorted by two students, went to a Chinese chop suey place for dinner, the evening being spent until about 11 o'clock at Miss John- son's home, when, the chop suey es- tablishment was again visited. The younger girl seemed all right except that while in the Chinese restaurant the second time she seemed to be sleepy. According to the hospital authori- ties Miss Poland is gradually recov. ering consciousness,although as yet her condition has been such that she could not be closely examined regard- ing the events of the last few days "Just Like The Good Old Army Days, "Men Say Of Mental Tests "Just like the good old army days" was the way most of the men char- acterized the second lap of the men- tality test that was held yesterday afternoon in the Law building. Some 500 students took the examination, which lasted an hour. It was divided into parts, one a test on the ability to read and retain, and the other on the order of those given in the army when they were trying to get the dentists out of the mule driving outfits. In the reading test the students were given folders which contained the article to be read together with questions on its content. After hav- ing three minutes for reading, the students indicated how much of the article they had covered. Questions on the subject matter were then an- swered on the back of the folder. The questions in the other part of the test were of the sort that de- manded ability to think and to think quickly. One student remarked that about the only thing they didn't ask was, "How long is a piece of string?" All the work was done within time limits. Only 350 of those taking the exam- ination were probationers, the other 150 having been prompted to find out just how their brains lined up with the charts.
