Miss Crandell is interesting because her library is located right in the heart of the Pennsylvania soft coal fields where the miners have been on a strike for over a year. The major- ity of these miners are foreigners and Michigan Representative is Beaten in Close Match at Phil' adelphia arrived on a special Michigan Cen- tral train at 11:13 o'clock.

CO-PEATON SOUGHT AMONG FRM OWNERS, (By Associated Press) Washington, June 29-Recommen- dations that the agricultural produc-, ers of the United States be "empow- ered to develop co-operative associa- tions to hasten the standardization ofa agricultural production, improve the distributive processes, and reduce their costs" formed the foremost con- clusion of the joint congressional' commission of agricultural inquiry in its completed report of marketing and distribution made public tonight. The commission stats it believes{ that the situation of the agricultural producers can be materially improv- ed by a standardization of produc- tion of crops in producing centers in order to permit economic selection, grading and preparation of commodi- ties in the producers' local mar- kets. The report says that the commis- sion is of the opinon that congress should speedily re-dnact legislation looking to the regulation of the fu-l ture trading in grain, "in accordance{ with sound constitutional concep- tion." Miss Crandell says that they are a most fascinating class of people to work with. "Because so many of them are for- eigners you must not think that they do not read a good class of literature. Many of these children whose parents can neither speak nor write English read the best class of literature. Many of them read better stuff than the children whose parents were born and raised in the United States. Many of the older people, too, have taken to reading. You would be surprised to see the class of books that they read. You must not think that be- cause they are miners and on a strike that they are bolshevik. Most of the miners in our soft coal district are good citizens, those that can read, read the very best class of literature. There is really hope for these people if they read good books." When asked how long she thought the strike would last she said that she had no idea, but she hoped that it would soon be settled because there were so many little children that come into the library every day who will need warm clothes and shoes during the next winter.- PLANS COMPLETE FOR INTER - LAKE REGATTA (By Associated Press) Detroit, June 29.-What promises to be one of the most notable regattas in the history of the Interlake Yachting association, established 37 years ago, is set for July 16 to 23, inclusive, at Put-in-Bay.

Yost, director of intercollegiate athletics, speaking yesterday after- noon on "Athletics and Their Rela- tion to College Life," in the Natural Science auditorium. Coach Yost went on to say, "Inter- collegiate athletics should foster and develop fine feeling and friendship between the contestants." In going farther into his subject of the relation of athletics to college life, Mr. Yost said, "Boys go to cl- lege, or are sent to college by their parents, primarily to obtain a better education and to become better fitted for life. It is only insofar as ath- letics contribute to this main purpose of a college education that they mer- -it the conspicuous place they now oc cupy in our schools. Because of this it is essential that universities and collegeshexercise careful control over their athletic programs in order that athletic contests may not become ends in themselves, but, rather, that they/ continue as contributory fac- tors to education's main purpose of fitting men for life," Teaches Self-Sacrifice Coach Yost went on to show that, in addition to securing harmonious bodily development, a well planned and well organized program of ath- letics teaches many lessons that are a valuable part of a college man's preparation for life. "The sacrifice of self to a group or institution for the attainment if a common goal," continued Mr. Yost, "is the first les- son taught by athletics. This means co-operation ,team play, loyalty and service. The qualities of determina- tion, will power, persistence, and courage, both physical and moral, can nowhere be better learned than on the athletic field. Self - consciousness, self control, alertness, aggressive- ness, obedience, reliability, friendli-I ness, leadership, mental and moral poise, resourcefulness, decision, - these qualities and many more are brought out in marked degree by ath- letics. Furthermore, the ability to summon all of one's forces, physical, mental, and moral, to work together in a smooth co-ordination for the ac- complishment of a given task, and the initiative necessary to direct these forces, are attributes very strikingly developed by athletics."1 United Student BodyI Turning to the more intangible ef- fects of athletics upon University life, Mr.Yost said, "Furthermore, athletics bring the entire student body to- gether and focus the attention ofI every individual on a definite, com- mon object more than does any other activity or interest of the Univer- sity. The inspirational value of such an experience as this - the feeling to- be a part of a great throng and of sharing with each other member oft it a very definite common interest - is tangible and not measureable, but is none the less real." x Transfers Must See Dean Students from other colleges and universities, who wish to have their credits transferred to the records'of the Literary college in the Univer- sity, have been requested to consult Dean John R. Effinger of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. The dean's office has set a time limit of July 15, within which time this matter should be adjusted. SATURDAY GOVERNMENT CALLS CONFERENCE Of ROAD9 EXECUTIVES IN LAST HOPEO VHN6N lN-9 TEU FORMER VARSITY CAPTAIN PLAYS IN CARDINALS' WINNING GAMFE Henry A. (Ernie) Vick, '22, captain of the 1922 Varsity baseball team, who was also chosen on Walter Camp's All-American 1922 football team, for his first choice as the best center in American gridiron circles, today play- ed his first game in the major base- ball leagues, when he caught for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Pitts- burg National league, the Cardinals winning by a score of 8 to 5. Vick caught the entire game for his team. During the three years of Vick's Varsity experience at the University, hel proved one of the steadiest cogs in the Wolverine nines. He was especial- ly clever behind the plate, his work on the receiving-end of Michigan bat- teries attracting the attention of not only Big Ten and other'college coach- es but of major league scouts as well. At bat "Ernie" held up his end in a commendable manner, his timely slugging often aiding the Wolverines to count victories. Vick was not only a diamond star, but achieved fame for his work oni the gridiron as pivot man on the Mich- igan elevens of the past three years. During the Minesota game last fall, he was largely instrumental in the 28 to 0 victory. Due to injuries Dunne was unable to plap in that contest, and Vick stepped in as acting captain. Five minutes after the first whistle had blown, he succeeded in fathom- ing and disrupting the famous Minne- sota shift, which the year before had been a cause of terror to Conference elevens. In the game against )ittsburg yes- terday, "Ernie" caught three men napping at bases and kept his batting average up to a good standing. million more railroad workers. Time Limit Set The ultimatum to the railway ex- ecutives rejected by chief executives of the six shop crafts union, Would have called a strike for 10 o'clock Saturday morning. The leaders of four other unions who are now. poll- ing a strike vote returned tonight to answer the summons of the U. S. Railroad Labor board to appear in a federal investigation tomorrow after- noon at 2 o'clock. When the union heads were sum- moned, the executives of 23 railroads were charged with illegally contract- ing shop work in violation of the board's orders on each of the three questions of which the shopmen have been casting strike ballots for the past two weeks. Other railway executives of the 201 crafts and roads in the country also were asked by the board to be pres- ent. There is little likelihood, rail heads said, that any conference could be arranged to end the differences of the employes and the roads and most of the executives departed tonight for their homes. Executives of only 16 of the 23 roads cited were present at today's meeting, but they expected to appear before the board tomorrow, The July 1 $60,000,000 wage cut and the. modification of seven rules, were the two questions involved in the shopmen's strike vote, which are conditions laid down by the labor board, according to the carriers' po- sition.
