ML NOT STOP
TRANSPORTATION
Say Railway Officials'
Of The Strike Which!
Is Scheduled To Be
gin On October 30
Chicago, Oct. 17 (By The
Associated Press) The union
chiefs said today that the lead
ers of some of the eieven rail
Toad organizations not includ
ed in "the big five" are still
opposing the strike. Whether
this will result in a braak be
tween the two groups will not
"be determined until the meet
ing of general chairmen later
in the week. Railroad officials
expressed assurances that the
strike if made effective would
. not stop transportation.
Union leaders officially an
nounced that the strike would
begin at 6 p. m. Sunday, Oc
tober 30.
The second group of rail
roads affected by the walkout
will affect every section also
and begins November first. It
includes the Atlantic Coast
Line.
The third group is scheduled
to- leave their jobs November
third, the remainder November
' fifth.
Washington, Oct. 17 (By
The Associated Press) Official
interest in the impending rail
road strike today centered in
the reaction of executives and
' union chiefs to the proposal of
the public group of the Rail
road Labor Board of a plan to
prevent stoppage of transpor
tation. The various government de
partments today began a sur
vey of the situation developed
by the strike call. "The mails
will be moved," said Postmas
ter General Hays.
Cleveland, Oct. 17 (By The
Associated Press) The first
conferences on plans for offer
ing a general railroad strike
Were begun today by Warren
Stone, president of the Broth
erhood of Engineers, when he
conferred with his vice presi
dents. W. G. Lee, president of
the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, is also directing
plans and conferences.
The proposal of the public
group of the labor board to re
duce freight rates to prevent
the strike is not feasible, Stone
declared. Lee said that the
understanding was for a 12 per
cent reduction last July would
be passed on to the public. i
The brotherhoods have a'
fund of $2,000,000 which is in-,
sufficient for a general strike of i
. any length, said John Grunau,'
president of the United Asso-I
ciation of Railway Employees
of North America, leader of
the unauthorized switchmen's
strike last year. He added that
he did not believe there would
be a walkout. j

the American Train Dispatch-'
er's Association, said that his
organization would keep its'
skirts clean.

was the subject discussed by Dr.
Francis H. Rowley, president of the
American Humane Education So

"The fact is that so long as men

chances of the cruelties of trans

thing humane organizations can do,"
Dr. Rowley said. "We may be able
to modify them in some respects as
we have in the past but humanity
must either become completely civ

BIG CROWD
TO SEE GAME
Annual Football Clash On Thursday
Of State Fair Between Slate Col-,
lege And University
Raleigh, X. C, Oct. 17 (Special)
One hundred thousand visitors are
expected to attend the State Fair
during this week. The biggest con
temporary attraction, the one with
the largest appeal to the masses, in
a week given over largely to gala oc
casions, is the annual football clash
between State College and the Uni
versity of North Carolina which will
be played at Rlddick Field, "Just a
whisper off the Midway," Thursday,
October 20.
Last year nearly eight thousand
spectators passed through the turn
stiles at this game, and this fall, with
football interest at fever heat
throughout the State, the attendance
promises to run close to ten thou
sand. Seating accommodations haveTeen
Increased by the erection of wooden
aUnds along the entire length Of the
east side of the held. These will be
reserved for the Carolina supporters
and the University student body
which ' will come to Raleigh early
Thursday morning on a special train.
Tech supporters will occupy the west
stands with the crack State College
band massed down in front.
The game Thursday will mark the
third meeting between the football
teams of the two Stale institutions
since athletic relations were sus
pended in 1905. The I'nlverslty won
the first game of the new series In
1919 by showing more proficiency in
kicking. Each team scored two
touchdowns and Tar Heel booters

Carolina was held to a single Held

football for the College over the Uni
versity In the entire history of ath
letic relations.
indications point to an unusually
hard fought game this year between
teams almost evenly matched. It ia
claimed by some that the State line
is superior to that of Carolina, but
this supposed advantage for the
Ti'chs is more than offset by the
smooth-working bai klleld of the Tar
Heels. University supporters firmly
believe this to be the edge that will
bring home the bacon.
On the other hand, State College

adherents contend that the Carolina

attack will batter Itself to pieces
against the strung rush line of the
locals, and they akso freely predict an
overwhelming surprise for the fleet

a Hanking movement around the
wings guarded by "Sammy"' Home

As t a spectacle the Fair Week
game, in the ,wo years of its history,
