Delegates To Miner's Federation Vote
Favoring Withdrawal Of
Safety Men
(By Associated Press)
London, Oct. 7.-The delegates' con-
ference of the Miners' Federation, by
an overwhelming majority, today re-
jected the government's offer to cre-
ate a national arbitral tribunal for
the settlement of the differences be-
tween miners and mine owners, and
by an equally large majority voted
in favor of the withdrawal of the safe-
ty men from the mines.
Thus the government passes out of
the dispute, temporarily, at least, and
the owners and the men are left to
settle the controversy between them-
selves.
The delegates conference adopted a
resolution rejecting the government
proposal for a settlement of the strike
after the announcement of a district
vote, which opposed the proposed 737,-
000 to 42,000.
The South Wales resolution to
withdraw the safety men was adopt-
ed by the delegates 594,000 to 194,000.
Miners Were Warned
The government had already made
it plain that unless its offer was ac-
cepted by the miners, it would be
withdrawn immediately. f The prin-
cipal feature of the offer was govern-
mental assurance that if the miners
returned to work they would be ac-
corded governmental assistance in ob-
taining a nation-wide agreement,
which is one of the important de-
Inands of the miners.
The decision of the miners was
taken in the face of practical exhaus-
tion of their resources. In addition,
their position is daily becoming weak-
er by a slow drift of the miners back
to work. Withdrawal of the safety
men, if put into effect, is considered
likely to cause serious trouble, not
only in the mines, but between the
stikers and those desiring to return
to their labors.
Scarborough, Eng., Oct. 7.-The
Conservative party conference here
today took steps which would make it
difficult for workers to resort to the
weapon of a strike and next to impos-
sible to have a repetition of the re-
cent general strike.
The resolutions urge a change in
the trades union law, making illegal
any strike without a previous secret
ballot of the members of the union af-
fected, and also making mass picket-
ing and the picketing of private houses
illegal..
Seek More Vigor
The tone of the conference was in-
dicated by the remark of one delegate:
"We want our prime minister to have
ju'st a little more of the lion and a
we bit less of the lamb."
This was an allusion to the fact
that Premier Baldwin constantly has
parried attempts to force his govern-
ment into dealing drastically with
trade union powers, which he regards
as a thorny subject. The action of
the Conservative party today is aimed
at stirring the government into broad-
er activities. However, the movement
Is considered not likely to succeed,
for the government is aware of the
extreme difficulty of making illegal a
strike without a secret ballot.
Sir Leslie Scott, a former solicitor
general, speaking at thetmeeting to-
day, while advocating strong legisla-
tion against strikes intending to hold
up the country and dictate to the gov-
ernment, at the same time admitted
that there were many practical dif-
ficulties in the way of the secret bal-
lot idea. Today's conference, how-
ever, undoubtedly will strengthen theI
govrnnment's hand in introducing!
some sort of legislation for moderate-
ly curtailing the power of trades un-
ions.
CANADIAN LIQUOR
LAWS CONDEMNED
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Oct. 7.-Describing the
system of government control of liq-
uor in Canada as a failure, the board
of temperance, prohibition and public
morals of the Methodist church as-
serts in a statement made public to-
day that even "the half-chance pro-

Michigan Line Coach Sees Little Harm
In Scouting System Used In Conference
In commenting on the abolition of
football scouting which has caused
considerable furore among the football
of the East, Elton E. Wieman, assist-
ant director of intercollegiate ath-
letics, and head line coach of the}
Michigan football teams, intimated
that he saw little need for abolishing
scouts in the Western intercollegiate
conference.
"For the most part the spectators do
not understand the system of scouting
as used here in the Conference,"
Coach Wieman said. "There is noth-
ing secret or underhanded about
scouting, as some persons believe. In
the Big Ten, the coaches expect scouts
at their games and send tickets to the
various schools who request them.
Scouts are treated much like visiting
professors, and everything is open and
above board."
In answer to the question of wheth-
er or not scouting was greatly over-
done, Coach Wieman replied, "There
is no doubt that scouting is decidedly
overdone in some places, but I do not
believe this is true in the Conference.
There is a mutual understanding that
no more than two scouts from school
shall see an opponent in action, and at
the last meeting of the Conference
the faculty representatives asked the
directors to consider limiting scouts
to one man."
"Furthermore," Coach Wieman con-
tinued, "without recognized scouts we
would be bothered with self-appointeda
scouts. Alumni and friends of the
University would scout games unof-
ficially and send in their reports. It
is obvious that we would not foster
any such practice."
Coach Wieman holds the opinion
that teams could play just as good
football without scouting. "As for
Michigan, we could play the same
brand of football without scouting, but
to reiterate, scouting has done much
to build up a strong bond of good
sportsmanship between the universi-
ties and I see no need for abolition of
the system in the Big Ten."

FITCH* TO TALK AT'
FIRST CONVOCATIONi
Will Remain Until Monday In Order
To Discuss Philosophic Matters
With students
SPOKE HERELAST YEAR
"Failures That Succeed and Suc-
cesses That Fail" is the subject of the
address which will be delivered by Dr.
Albert Parker Fitch, of Carleton col-
lege, Sunday morning in Hill auditor-
ium as the opening of the fall series
of Sunday convocations. Dr. Fitch
spoke in Ann Arbor at one of the first
convocations held last May. He is
professor of the philosophy of reli-
gion at Carleton college, Northfield,
Minn., and a well known speaker on
various religious topics.
Dr. Fitch will arrive in Ann Arbor
tomorrow night and will register at
the Union at once. He is particularly
anxious to meet as many Michigan
students as possible during his visit'
here this week-end, and for that pur-
pose will remain in Ann Arbor until
Monday.aThe Carleton professor will
be available any time Sunday evening
and Monday morning at the Union,
and will be ready to discuss any sub-1
jects with students, especially on mat-
ters pertaining to religion and its
philosophy.
The five Sunday convocations this
fall under the direction of the Student
council, Women's league, and School
of Religion, will compose the second
series given particularly for students
in the University. The convocations
were inaugurated last spring by the1
Student council and Women's league
as a result of the suggestion made
at one of the informal gatherings of
representative students at the home
of President Clarence Cook Little.,
The purpose of the convocations is to}
provide liberal non-sectarian Sunday
morning services for students who do
not attend church regularly while in
Ann Arbor. Members of churches in
the city are again welcome to attend
the convocations although no attempt
is made to interfere with the attend-
ance of local churches.
DISCUSSION GROUPS1
TO BEINSTALLED
Freshmen Will Be Addressed By Dean
Bursley and Menefee
Tonight
150 WILL ATTEND
More than 150 members of the fresh-
man class will meet at 7 o'clock to-
night at Lane hall for the purpose of
installation of fall discussion groups.
Dean Bursley, and Professor Menefee
of the engineering department will
speak.
The arrangements for the banquet
are being made by members of the 1
freshman class who attended the
Freshman Rendezous at Lake Patter-
son in September. Tickets are being
sold by these men and at Lane hall.
The number of tickets has been lim-
ited in order that only those who awe
interested in the affairs of their class
may be admitted.
The speakers will talk on subjects
that will furnish material for the dis-
cussion groups to follow through the
fall and winter. Last year President
ClarencekCook Little was the princi-
pal speaker.
It is hoped that all those who are
interested in the affairstofstheir class
will attend this banquet. It will not
only give information on the fall dis-
cussion groups, and serve to stimulate
good fellowship among the members
of the class of '30, but also will give
them an opportunity to meet the memn-
hers of the faculty who will speak.

Over Closing Sessions Of
Convention Today
Discussions of hospital work, negro
welfare, and the problems of rural
and urban social workers marked the
second day's session of the Michigan
State Conference of Social Work held
at the Union yesterday.
Dr. H. A. Haynes, director of the
University hospital, presiding at the
morning session, introduced Dr. Ellen
C. Potter, secretary of welfare in
Pennsylvania, who told of the organ-
ization and development of public
welfare work in that state. Francis R.
Lowell, of the Michigan Children's
Aid Society of Detroit, led a discus-
sion group considering the means of
co-ordination of public officials.
Judge Frank L. Covert, of the sixth
judicial circuit of Michigan, spoke of
the work of the Oakland County wel-
fare board and a discussion of state
owned institutions was led by Dr. R.
11. Haskell, director of Wayne County
training school.
At a luncheon of the Michigan As-
sociation of oHspital Social Workers
Mrs C. W. Webb, president of the as-
sociation, spoke of the hospital so~al
worker in her varied relat nships
and urged closer contact th the
medical staff of the hospitals. Prof.
Arthur Evans Wood, member of the
department of sociology of the Uni-
versity, spoke at another luncheon for
socialogy teachers and students.
Editor Speaks
The afternoon meetings were de-
voted to the consideration of the social
worker among the negroes. Charles S.
Johnson, editor of "Opportunity," a
publication for negroes, described the
interstate migration of negroes, refer-
ing in particular to Michigan, and the
problem of the negro in Detroit. Mr.
Johnson also addressed a meeting of
the Negro-Caucasion club last night
in Lane l.ll.
Miss S. P. Breckenridge, professor
of social economy, graduate school of
social service administration at the
University of Chicago, discussed co-
ordination of social work in the city.
"Ultimate success of social work de-
pends upon the education and prepar-
ation of the worker," claimed Prof.
Breckenridge. "The worker must be
truthful, and there must be co-opera-
tion between the work of social agen-
cies ,schools and colleges for social
workers. We must examine our own
records and correct our faults before
we can do real work."
A careful study of the situation of
the social worker in the rural com-
munity as a means toward consolida-
tion of schools and churches was urg-
ed by Prof. Eben Mumford, of the
department of sociology, Michigan
State college, referring to the task of
the "rurban," or village-countryside
group, in the last address of the day's
meeting.
Meeting To Divide
The meetings this morning will be
divided into two groups for discus-
sion. At one, Miss Ella M. Weinfur-
ther, assistant field director for the
American Association for Organizing
Family Social Work, will preside, in
the place of Professor Breckenridge,
as was formerly announced, and Pro-
fessor Mumford will direct the see-
ond group in the place of Prof. C. R.

Manufacturers Give
Child Labor Figures

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Prohibitory I
child labor laws do not cause a pro-'
portionate increase in school attend-
ance, Howell Cheney, chairman of
the committee on junior education and
employment of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers reported to the
convention of that organization today.
Most children, he added, do not profit
by remaining in school after they are
fourteen.
The contention that more children
leave school because of mental ina-
bility than because of poverty or other
economic conditions, was made by
Mr. Cheney. Asserting that child labor
in general is on the decrease, he
qbloted figures to show that in the
Southern states, as a rule, the pro-
portion of children employed in manu-
facturing and mechanical pursuits is
somewhat less than the average of
the Northern states, particularly those
that are engaged in textile occupa-
tions.
Seventy-two per cent of the child-s
ren employed in textile industries, hel
said, are employed in five states-

HARVARD SIGNS
PRINCETON FOR
1927_CONTEST
(By Associated Presss)
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 7.-Har-
vard and Princeton will face each
other on the football field in 1927, it
was announced today. This was
agreed on at a conference here last
night attended by chairmen of ath-
letics of Yale, Harvard and Princeton.
It was mutually agreed, the an-
nouncement said, that the proposal of
Harvard to drop Princeton from her
1927 football schedule and substitute
the University of Michigan was
counter to the understanding and
{practice of the "Triple Alliance," and
on the suggestion of Harvard it had
accordingly been withdrawn.
The three universities were repre-
sented at the conference by Prof.
George H. Nettleton, chairman of the
hoard of control of the Yale AthleticI
association, William J. Bingham, di-
rector of athletics at Harvard, and
Chatles W. Kennedy, chairman of the
specialty committee on athletics at
Princeton.
The new accord is looked upon as a
distinct move in binding the "Big
Three" together more closely and
comes at a time when conditions be-
tween Harvardand Princeton were
said to be near the breaking point.
It is the first official recognition of
Princeton by Harvard as meriting
special consideration in athletic
agreements, it was pointed out here
tonight. In the past Harvard has
maintained that the Yalegamye was
the only fixed contest on her football
schedule and that Princeton along
with the other six teams, was engaged
from year to year." Harvard players
have been awarded no Insignia for
playing against Princeton.

DEBT SETTLEMENT
MAY BE RATIFIED
OVER SOCIALS
EXPECT TO INCORPORATE
RESERVATIONS IN
PREAMBLE
FRANC SHOWS STRENGTH
French Expect Majority of Almost
100 Votes in Favor of
Ratification
(By Associated Press)
Paris,tOct. 7.-Prospects of ratifica-
tion of the Washington debt settle-
ment have so increased during the
past few days that talk in the lobbies
of the Chamber of Deputies now is
turning on itsrprobable majority.
The strength of the French franc in
the past two days is attributed to a
change in attitude towards the Mel-
lon-Berenger agreement and Parlia-
mentary prophets now figure on 350
votes in the chamber for ratification
with reservations in the preamble,
This would give a clear majority ap-
proaching 100 in favor of the agree-
ment.
The Socialists will present a motion
to send the accord back to the gov-
ernment with instructions to reopen
negotiations with the United States,
but it is thought that this motion will
not be able to muster more than 150
to 200 votes.
According to the present govern-
ment program, the reservations which
will be incorporated in the preamble
will cover two points: a guarantee
against payment in excess of French
capacity, and suspension of payment
if it should become impossible with-
out French exchange.
Criticize Preamble
There is some objection to the plan
to express these reservations in the
form presented in a sample preamble,
since it is pointed out by opponents
of ratification that thus offered they
would not be binding on the United
States and, would not be operative as
far as the Washington agreement is
concerned. The government eory is
that, however expressed, the reserva-
tions serve the purpose of laying
down the principle that France can-
not be expected to undertake impos-
sibilities.
The government, it is understood,
will oppose any attempt to delay rati-
fication in an effort to reopen nego-
tiations or to introduce reservations
in such a way that the agreement can-
not stand as signed at Washington.
Premier Poincare's hand has been
greatly strengthened by the fact that
the mere announcement of the cabinet
determination to pusli ratification was
followed by a rise on the exchange of
one franc to the dollar.
YOST TALKS TO
HILLEL SMOKER
400 Jewish Students Attend Affair
Given By NeW Organization
Cooperation on th part of Jewish
students of the University with offi-
cials in achieving the aims and ' pur-
poses of the branch of the B'nai
B'rith Hillel foundation recently estab-
lished in Ann Arbor was the keynote
of the first smoker given by the or-
ganization in iMasonic auditorium last
night. More than 400 Jewish students
attended the affair.
Rabbi Benjamin Frankel, national
director of the Hillel foundation and
active head of the chapter at the Uni-
versity of Illinois, was unexpectedly
present and addressed the students
briefly.
Greater interest in outside acti'ities
was emphasized by Ben Friedman,
captain of the football team, in a brief
talk in which he advocated support
of the foundation. Football, stated
Coach Fielding H. Yost, another
speaker, brings out to the fullest ex-
tent qualities which are necessary in
the development of a man capable of
becoming a good leader. Rabbi A.
H. Finklestein, resident director of
the chapter, outlined the program
planned for the coining year, which is
designed to bring Judaism to students
of that faith and give them an op-
portunity to study the culture and
history of the religion.
Entertainment was provided by-Ben-
nie and Bernie Goldman, '29 and '27,
singers of the Red Apple club of WCX,
Detroit, and by other students on the
piano and banjo.
