The English and History Departments

The College has~ long wanted to do}:

is clear that if changes were to be made
suddenly and completely in salaries or
in hours of instruction, we cotild not
pay’ the: bills.” Miss Park went on to
explain that what in the individual case
would -be no increase at all, would, in
the aggregate, mount up to a great deal.

In the interim until a sufficient endow-
ment is accumulated, some plan -must

_| be. formulatedy which, will allow Bryp
.| Mawr to keep up, her academic standard.

According to’ Miss Park the “Charac-
teristics of this interim plan are set. It
cannot be expensive. [t must leadwith-

professors; just how the Departments
and individuals are to benefit have not

Non-Unions Have Advantages.
The report points out that the’ non-
union mines of West Virginia,’ which

coal, a low wage rate and favorable
freight rates, now dominate the market.
Before 1922 70 per, cent. of the bitumi-
nous coal mined was the product of union
mines. -The percentage now, due to the

intense competition, is only thirty. Ir}

was on account of this that the q@wners
abrogated the Jaceonvite agreement.

and has been samen ihe great sane
ness on both sides, greatly intensified by
two factors._“The operators regard the
men as wilfully unreasonable in refusing
reduction of wages,” asthe present scale
means ruin for. many operators. The

is being made to reduce them to the ex-

* |tremely low scale of living prevalent

among the Southern mines.

Méanwhile conditions are intolerable.
Strike breakers have been introduced, and
the’ strikers in many cases evicted, from
their homes to make way for them. For
those who have no place to go, the United,
Mine Workers have erected barracks of |

No Picketing.

Injunctions, enforced by the Coal and
Iron police, have been, widely used. “The

from giving ‘strike relief in any form.

Second Varsity Game Tied,:

‘Playing a Poor Farce|.

The Second .Varsity game ‘with the
Saturday Morning Club’ was a most
terrific chaos, a burlesque of basketball,
a—a—our imagination fails us, It ended
with a tie score of 18-18 which was too
perfect a climax to’the affair to be quite
real. In the first place only three mem-
bers of the Saturday. Morning Club ever
showed up and. three obliging members
of the Germantown team had- to double,

to be taken seriously. The first half
was ‘moderately amusing. We were
tired ‘of laughing in the second half and
became excessively -bored. If we had
been Robert. Benchley we should have
left after the first act, but not being that

privileges we stuck it out to the end.
We judge it kinder. not to give any de-
tails of the performance. The long-
suffering line-up was:

Second Varsity—B. Humphreys, ’29;
E. Boyd, ’29; C. Thompson,. ’31; F.
Bethel, ’28; H. Thomas, 731; E. Totten,
