attended. Secretary Morrison reported
that $3.50 new members had been en-
rolled during the year. The greatest
item Of expense was 1886 for organize
ton. and Of this $4,000 had been used in
sending organizers among the miners
during the great strike.
Expenses for the year were 1918. The
report stated that the receipts from
Tederationist. the organ of the fedora
ton. had exceeded It's expenditures.
During the year, the report states, 276
strikes had been officially noticed. in

THE ENGLISH STRIKE
LONDON, Dec. 13.-The ballot taken
by the unions OF the Amalgamated Soci-
ETY. Of Engineers is almost unanimously
against accepting the proposals Of en-
ployers.
The ballot referred to grew out Of the
formal conference between the repre-
sentatives Of the striking engineers and
their employers.
The general impression when the con-
ference was adjourned to allow the bal
lot was that unless the unions accepted
the proposals Of the employers there
would be a renewal Of the deadlock.
The strike began on July 18th last,
with q lockout against some Of the en-
gineers. followed by the engineers call
ing out large number of men, until
about 100000 engineers were thrown out
Of work. The ostensible reason for the
strike was the question Of payment for
overtime and incidentally for eight
hours per day. The engineers have in
sisted upon eight hours work. and that
all overtime must count as one and a
quarter time for the first two hours and
as time and half after that.
The senior professors at Oxford uni
versity have signed a protest against
the attitude Of the employers.

supposed to be the middle-weight cham
pionship Of the world. although the men
will not be obliged to scale before they
go into the ring.
Quarters for the little party have beer
engaged at Coney Island, and Creedor
will remain there until the afternoon OF
the night Of the battle. The former AUS
tralian never looked better in his life
and says he is in the best condition OF
his entire career.

ably not see the contest in which his fos-
ter brother has SO much at stake. He
has been training Creedon at Palos
