Strange to rugged Sam Gompers! could he have looked upon them, would have been the scenes of h'is funeral cortege as his mortal body was started on its long journey home. With the pomp of a general, but withj the sentiment of the humble, labor's late chieftain was to be borne; toward the rising sun by a grieving throng. His last ride in this city of his death was to be on an artillery caisson, and the last escort for the man who has fought all his life, but always in civilian clothes, was to be composed of men in military uni- form. The government whose hand he has upheld in peace and in war, stepped in to claim the body for the wholel American people and through the U. S. army, the American people of- ficially took back their dead. Mr. Gompers' last words were "God blessj our American institutions," and one of these institutions-the United States army-claimed that he belong- ed to them as much as to anyone.' Soldiers from Fort Sam Houston were1 assigned to the escort. Not only labor possesses him, they said, but the' country also. The music of a military band and the rumble of a militaryJ carriage were to be his requiem. } Sleeping in his great bronze cask-I et, in a flag draped house of death, the late president of the American' Federation of Labor drew to himself throughout the day the men of labor, and the men of capital, those who worked in field and factory, those who knew him as a name only and those who knew him as a loved and' loving champion, all filed past the massive coffin which was flanked by banks of flowers and draped with the American flag. i 1 Miss Mary Atherton, of IDe- troit, will lead the grand march of the J-Hop, kith Charles G. Oakman, '26, general chairman of the Hop committee. Oakman and Miss Atherton are old class- mates, having attended gram- mar school together, and both are graduates of Detroit North- ern high school. Since her grad- uation in 1921, Miss Atherton has been engaged in social wel- fare work in Detroit. Oakman was elected to the position of general chairman by his classmates in the literary college. As it is customary for the chairmanship to be held al- ternately by a literary student and an engineer, the J-Hop last year was led by Edliff R. Slaughter, '25E, accompanied by Miss Ethel Mae Tuell, both from Louisville, Ky. SOCALIT PRTY Opium Parley PFails To each SENDS DELEGATES Understanding Geneva, Dec. 13. (By A.

MICHIGAN OPENS- COURT SEASON BY BEA9TING AGGIES OPPONENTS FAIL TO THREATEN WOLVERINES' LEAD DURING GAME SCORE 26-10 Captain Haggerty and Cherry Star In Overwhelming Attack Of Varsity Five (By W. It. Stoneman) Michigan's Varsity basketball team opened its season with a 26-10 victory over M. A. C. last night in the Field house. It was Michigan's game from the start and the Aggies failed to threaten the Wolverine lead after the first minute of play. The stellar basket shooting of Cap- tain George Haggerty and the great defensive work of Red Cherry com- bined" to give the Michigan five an overwhelming advantage over the Farmers. Haggerty's work accounted for five field goals during the course of the contest and Cherry kept the touted Nutilla, captain of the Aggies, so well covered thatl he only had three shots at the hoop, every one of which was so hurried that it went wide. Cherry also tied for second honors in scoring with a field goal and two free throws out of as many tries. Dick Underwood Obtains Un aninmous Con- sent of Body For Investigationi ! Of Charge.
