scription of the mathematic courses to

"The real junior high school move-

Washington, Aug. 11.-With all Am-
erican Federation o 'Labor railroad
unions, representing 1,540,000 workers,
voicing their approval of a general
strike on account of wage reductions
interest has been centering on the
meeting today of the chiefs of the "big
four" brotherhoods in Cleveland who
have not as yet given their approval
of a general .strike.
The "big dour" chiefs are holding
back their decis on until a reply is re-
ceived from the executives of eastern
railroads to the brotherhoods' demands
presented to them last week in New
York. If the answer is not satisfactory
he four brotherhoods are expected to
oin in the strike.
If ax strike is called the 'union lead-
ers hope to tie up all the railroads in
he country. Unless the "big four"
oinj many leaders do not exect
general strike. It is feared, how-
ver, that unofficial strikes in various
arts of the country will be called be-
ore Sept. 1,,when there will be a gen-
ral walk-out.

Holding to his policy of yesterday
maintain silence regarding the charg(
of the state administrative board r
lative to the "reckless" spending c
state money by. University official
John C. Christensen, assistant secrE
tary and purchasing agent of the Un
versity, this morning refused to ad
anything to the statement made Wed
nesday by Robert J. Greve, busines
officer of the University hospital, i
explaining certain &4 the hospital e
penditures.
Mr. Greve has explained the cost c
shoes purchased by the hospital, fe
which the state charges that entirel
too much money was paid, by sayin
the shoes were designed for patient
who 'required braces on their instep
or legs, and that ordinary footwea
could not be used.
The Lansing dispatch read as fol
lows:
"Closer co-operation' between th
state departments and the Universit
of Michigan and the Michigan Agri
cultural college, with the object o
preventing the 'reckless' spending o
state money, is to be sought by the
state administrative board.
"The question' of how the so-callec
'constitutional institutions' are spend
ing their state aid money came up a
a meeting of the board today. A state
ment for the purchase yf shoes was re
ceived from the University hospital
and according to the items listed, the
shoes were purchased, apparently fo
state charges, at a cost of from $10 to
$12 a pair. They could have been pur.
chased, members of the board believe
through the state purchasing depart-
ment for less than half that amount.
"Although the two institutions nam
ed have a constitutional right to spend
their state aid money as they please,
officials of the University and M. A. C
will be asked to work with a committee
of the board to devise means of closer
co-operation with the state depart.
ments and to cut down what members
of the board termed the 'absurd uses
of the state's money'."

Gets Under Way
(By . C. Christian)
(Special Correspondent)
Topinabee, Aug. 10. - The second
session of Camp Davis is well under
way and Prof. Clarence T. Johnston,
director, is gradually moulding his
men into real woodamen as well as
surveyors. Sunburned arms and
shoulders, lame muscles, and chafed
hamg1s, have seemed to be the fad for
the past week. Next to eating, swim-
ming and baseball seem to be the most
popular sports.
The organization of the camp is now
complete, with "Culla" Beuthien as
camp manager. The other officers
elected are as follows : "Slim" Baker,
icamp sanitarian; "Louie" Pommer-
dning, athletic manager, and Joe
Baker, transportation manager.
The Black Fly, camp publication,
has also gotten) under way again. The
staff appointed is as follows: "Dick"
Potter, editor; "Mitch" Mitchell, bus-
iness manager; "Min" Shupert, art
editor; "Jim" Boucis, assistant art
editor; "Wils" Lyons, sport editor;
"Shorty" Bryant, flydust editor; and
"Red" Bandemer and "Joe' Riggs, as-

"There are' so few federal boari

not attempt to undertake any worl
that is being done by another organ
