Heads Threaten NEW YORkTnov. 22.—(UP) —Four seamen were arrested after a shooting affray on the waterfront today while two maritime unions prepared to call out their men at noon tomorrow ln an independent strike. James Turner, 39, a waiter on the eastern steamship liner Arcadia, was arrested on charges of carrying concealed weapons, and three I other seamen were held on feloni- i ous assault charges in the latest violence marking the three-weeks-old insurgent strike of International I Seamen's union members. Walk-off Announced Simultaneously the Marine En- | gineers’ Beneficial association and the Masters, Mates’ and Pilots’ association. independent unions not connected with the ISU, announced their men would walk off ships in Atlantic and gulf ports at noon tomorrow. The unions claimed 10.000 men would join the strike, while the American Steamship Owners asso- Hogan SuppliesCoke * * + » Quick Service Is Aim M M * * Two Machines Placed James Hogan, new-deal chairman of the Student Union, last Friday gave birth to his latest S. U. brain child when he directed the placing of a pair of coca-cola dispensing machines in the Union edifice. Giving his reason for this latest move, Hogan said that lt was done in order to furnish quicker coke service for tired students who need that refreshing pause between classes. The machines have been installed ln the men’s grill and the patio. "It’s really fun to operate these new contraptions,” Hogan said. "Yon place a nickel in the slot, a paper cup falls out. and ln less than 10 seconds It’s filled with cold coke. It's worth a nickel of anyone's money to play the thing." Revenue derived from the machines will go into the student-body coffers. Chairman Hogan concluded. Coeds Injured As Car Plunges Through Fence Five U.S.C.

The feature of the second month’s circulation surpassing that of the first issue is unique, according to Worth Larkin, editor. In explanation, Larkin caid that usually, the first issue of the semester sets the year's high total, a precedent almost without excep.ion in Wampus annals. Delta Sigma forged Into the lead in the four-month Wampus sales contest among sororities In competition for a hoire prize. Pi Beta Phi, Delta Zeta, Phi Mu, and Zeta Alpha, last month's leader, are closely contesting second place. Maxine Fayram, PI Beta Phi, was individual leader in sales, disposing of 55 copies of the magazine. Virginia Fachman, Delta Sigma, and Kay Griffith, Delta Zeta, were second and third. Already laying plan' for the December issue, Larkin issued a call for a staff meeting during assembly today in 218 Student Union. He invited all ‘students interested in contributing to Wampus, specifically requesting the presence of Bill Cullenward. Chuck Cochard. Jack Warner, Ev Vilander, Bert Heintz. Mort Brigadier, Jaye Brower, Bud Knoblauch, Henry Bumstead, Shirley Rothschild, Jimmy Talcott, Marion Tronsen, Willard Hope, George MacLean, and Cal Whorton the eastern seaboard and would not affect shipping. Call To Affect 5,090 James J. Delaney, national president of the Masters, Mates, and Pilots, said the strike call would affect nearly 5,000 members of his organization in addition to members already on strike on the west coast-President William S. Brown of the marine engineers, made a similar announcement. Delaney said the unions demanded $20 a month raises and $1.25 an hour for overtime instead of $1. Strike Activity Center Moves to Ensenada By United Preis. Maritime strike activity tonight was switched to Ensenada, Mexico, where at daybreak tomorrow Grace line officials will attempt to transfer 107 passengers and mall from the Santa Elena to prevent the almost certain crew walkout that would develop If the sihp docked at San Pedro. Line officials said they had heard no reports that union leaders left by automobile today for the Mexican port, planning to form picket lines from the banks of the confederation of Mexican workers. The passengers, if successfully unloaded, will be taken to Tijuana by motor, and then brought here by rail. The process would be reversed for persons of this area and San Francisco Intending to board the ship for a return trip to New York. Canned Food Drive Results Announced YWCA Welfare Committee Collects Food, Money For Thanksgiving Contributions totaling $43.97 and 237 cans of food stuffs were received by the social welfare committee of the YWCA during the Thanksgiving canned food drive which ended last Friday. These donations from the annual drive are used to provide Thanksgiving dinners .for scores of needy families all over the city. More families will be aided this year than ever before, as contributions greatly exceeded the mark set in former years, said Zuma Palmer, chairman of the drive. “The social welfare committee wishes to thank all the organizations who so generously cooperated with it to make this the most successful food drive yet conducted by the “Y.” This project is a very worthwhile one, and the donations will help to make many a poor family happy on Thanksgiving day,” she acnowledged. Contributions from the various Greek-letter houses were: Zeta Beta Tau $7.64; Sigma Nu $8,00; Sigma Phi Epsilon $5.10; Alpha Delta Pi $4.40; Phi Kappa 1-si $3.56; Kappa Alpha Theta $3.25; Phi Kappa Tau $3.20; Delta Delta Delta $3.00; Sigma Chi $2.97; Kappa Delta $2.94; Chl Phi $2.53; Pi Beta Phi $279; Delta Sigma Phi $2 44; Kappa Sigma $2.40; Delta Sigma Pi $2.78; Alpha Epsilon Phi $2.10; Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall $2.05; Zeta Tau Alpha $2.04; Alpha Gamma Delta $1.97; Phi Mu $197; Beta Kappa $1.37; Delta Chl $ .90; Delta Gamma $ .60; Phi Sigma Kappa $ .49; Delta Zeta $ .30; and Alpha Rho Chi $ .26, The food will be distributed to the needy families on Wednesday by members of the social welfare committee. hurt, the former having suffered u f fh „tllflpnt hnrtv „ hmirpn nnw nnd the latter severe uves OI me .Student DOdy IS is in California Lutheran quota unfulfilled by more hospital with brain concus- than one-third.

Depth of the ditch into which the coeds drove is estimated at 10 feet. relatively unimportant. To the world at large, U. S. C. has thus far failed in what it set out to do.

Two vital elements were I lacking in last week's chest drive — organization and en-1 thusiasm. Sub - committee chairmen say that after an early meeting for preliminary instructions, they were not contacted again throughout the week, j Responsibility for the various Jobs was thus left entirely in their hands, without benefit of any supervision from above. Fewer and much less efficient tag salesmen were a result. An Important meeting of Community Chest tag salesmen, both those of last week and any who wish to volunteer for tlie two-day extension drive, has been called hy Chairman Gardiner Pollich for 10 o'clock this morning in thc social hall of Student Union.

He added that not only members who were natives of the Island, but all Interested in their progress were invited to Join. Dean Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, will be present to conduct the installation ceremonies. Dr. M Thompson, official adviser, will talk briefly on the purpose of the club Lack of enthusiasm was especially evident at the Wednesday assembly where, despite the presence of a big .,r<fSfr"lh" ! name band, $50 less than the amount collected in assembly last year was taken ln. But what more could have been expected in view of the completely colorless speaking program that was presented? The emotional appeal of such spine-ticklers as Joseph Scott was sorely wanting. In short, the committee, from top to bottom, failed to make the Trojan campus fully aware that it was waging an important anaual drive, ln which failure would bring a measure of disgrace to the student body and to the university’s name. Extension of the campaign give- the committee one more opportunity. With a little reorganization and additional effort, it may yet redeem itself.

For statistical purposes she wishes to know how many of the new students have one or both parents who have matriculated at this school. meeting of all salesmen for 10 o'clock this morning ln the third floor social haU of Student Union. I think that fraternity, sorority, and Lancer groups have responded pretty well already," Pollich said yesterday. "It was on dime collections at the Wednesday assembly that we really fell down. “We can't have the assembly over again, but we can bear down on tag sales tomorrow and Tuesday and make up most of the difference—I hope.” Approved by President von KleinSmid at suggestion of the Daily Trojan Saturday afternoon, the two-day campaign extension must produce more than $100 each day in order to attain the goal established for U. S. C. by downtown headquarters of Community Chest. A $1500 quota was set for the Trojan faculty, separate from the student body, and this fund is reported only one fifth collected. Neighbor Gives $10 to Trojan Chest Fund Having read In the Daily Trojan that U. S. C.'s $700 Community Chest fund was likely to fall short of Its quota, Mrs. O. G White, 901 West 35th place, callcd the university and asked that someone come and get her contribution of $10. “It ls shameful to see a big university like U. S. C. giving such a trifling sum as $700 to u project like the Community Chest,” Mrs. White commented. “I think that with all the fine cars I see here, the university should give at least twice that much." Lancers' Contribution Stolen From Office The same person who takes pennies from blind men’s hats, and candy from babies, stole the community chest contribution of the Lancers, amounting to more than $8. Last Thursday night the burglar entered the office of Dean Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, pried open the lock of the desk drawer containing the money, and removed the contribution. Bloody Railroad Strike Ends as Unions Pacified GREENVILLE, Tex., Nov. 22 — <B.E>—Five hundred union employees of the Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas railway returned to work today after a two months strike which was punctuated by killings, train wrecks, and sluggings.

Richard Leche of Louisiana sent 100 of the men back to their places here. Non-union men who have manned the L. A. T. line were displaced.

Two Machines Placed
James Hogan, new-deal chairman of the Student Union, last Friday gave birth to his latest S. U. brain child when he directed the placing of a pair of coca-cola dispensing machines in the Union edifice.
Giving his reason for this latest move, Hogan said that lt was done in order to furnish quicker coke service for tired students who need that refreshing pause between classes. The machines have been installed ln the men’s grill and the patio.
"It’s really fun to operate these new contraptions,” Hogan said. "Yon place a nickel in the slot, a paper cup falls out. and ln less than 10 seconds It’s filled with cold coke. It's worth a nickel of anyone's money to play the thing."
Revenue derived from the machines will go into the student-body coffers. Chairman Hogan concluded.

The feature of the second month’s circulation surpassing that of the first issue is unique, according to Worth Larkin, editor. In explanation, Larkin caid that usually, the first issue of the semester sets the year's high total, a precedent almost without excep.ion in Wampus annals.
Delta Sigma forged Into the lead in the four-month Wampus sales contest among sororities In competition for a hoire prize. Pi Beta Phi, Delta Zeta, Phi Mu, and Zeta Alpha, last month's leader, are closely contesting second place.
Maxine Fayram, PI Beta Phi, was individual leader in sales, disposing of 55 copies of the magazine. Virginia Fachman, Delta Sigma, and Kay Griffith, Delta Zeta, were second and third.
Already laying plan' for the December issue, Larkin issued a call for a staff meeting during assembly today in 218 Student Union.

Week In Hospital
Miss Smith, a Pi Phi transfer from Alabama Southern university, will be forced to remain in the hospital for at least a week, according to her attending physician, Dr. Eu<-gene L. Armstrong.
All five women live ln Pinehurst boarding house. 3131 Figueroa street. They were driving to the beach for an evening at one of the amusement piers in a 1926 Chrysler touring car. Miss Gore was the driver.
Occuranre Told
“I thought Jefferson s.reel came to a fork," Miss Goro explained yesterday, "and did not realize that we had to turn due north. There was a big gap in the fence, and I drove through lt.
"The first thing I knew we were bumping across a field and then we ran into a ditch. I was thrown out of the driver's seat, clear of the car. 'Dizzy' and Katherine were caught underneath the car."

relatively unimportant. To the world at large, U. S. C. has thus far failed in what it set out to do.
On suggestion of the Daily Trojan, the committee will extend its campaign over today and tomorrow, hoping to bring up total collections to a figure that might prove less embarrassing than that regls- I' tered Saturday.
Two vital elements were I lacking in last week's chest drive — organization and en-1 thusiasm.
Sub - committee chairmen say that after an early meeting for preliminary instructions, they were not contacted again throughout the week, j Responsibility for the various Jobs was thus left entirely in their hands, without benefit of any supervision from above. Fewer and much less efficient tag salesmen were a result.
An Important meeting of Community Chest tag salesmen, both those of last week and any who wish to volunteer for tlie two-day extension drive, has been called hy Chairman Gardiner Pollich for 10 o'clock this morning in thc social hall of Student Union.
