son and the Detroit people are confident
that Crawford and Willis will both be there

unexpected development. Will be called LOT

time This is a change from the plans OF
the last month. 1t was intended to hold the
meeting late in November. The switch can
only be construed as meaning that the New

possible to make announcements mucn

Johnson said before leaving that the site
for the New York grounds Is secured; tnat
there are already players enough signed

WAGES OF LABOR.
Reduction in Rate Of Emolument in
England.

A marked reduction in the wages of labor
in England is reported in the Chamber OF
Commerce Journal, the official organ of the
London chamber OF commerce, a copy Of
which has just reached the treasury bureau
of statistics
There is a warning" it says, ito mas
tiers and men alike Il the official report on
the changes in rates of wages and hours Of
labor during 1901. 1t foreshadows a re-
lapse from the prosperity Of the last few
years. a decline In wages having to be re-
corded for the first time since 1895. More
over, during the first half of the present
year, the tendency is still toward lower
wages. The number of workpeople affected
by reductions in 1901 was greater than any
year In the period 1S93-19O1. the computed
amount of the reductions being more than
the total reductions recorded in the pre-
vious eight years. 1t is estimated that the
about 1.5s4,00O pounds sterling. compared
with net increase of six millions in 1900
The fall In wages was confined to the min
ing and quarrying. and the metal, engi-
neering and shipbuilding groups of indus
tries, there being net increases in the other
groups-building, textile, clothing, etc. One
most satisfactory feature in the report is
however the fact that there was a large
Increase In the percentage of workpeople
whose wages were settled by Cancellation
boards. etc, which is mainly due to the
formation or establishment OF such
boards in the mining industry. Out of every
100 persons whose wages were changed only
two We're concerned in strikes and lockouts
This IS the lowest recorded percentage
With regard to changes in hours of labor
$50 workpeope had their hours heightened
and 2S.69O had them shortened. the net re-
suit being a reduction OF 5S.72S hours per
week. The principal changes were In the
printing trade. Included in those affected
by changes in hours in this trade are u 923
compositors, readers machine minders
bookbinders. mechanics, ETC., employed In
the London printing trade. Compositions
hours were reduced under the award of
the arbitrators appointed by the board of
trade from f1fty-four to f1fty-two and a half
The letter-press printers, bookbinders and
machine rulers Of Glasgow, to the number
of 3 060 also secured a reduction from fifty
two and half to fifty. A brief considera-
ton Of the foregoing will show that alto
gether the outlook for labor Is less encour-
aging than for some years past, and 1t be-
hooves both employers and employed to use
common sense, zeal and intelligence in
maintaining and consolidating industry
upon which the prosperity Of the country
depends

ties of the United Kingdom" recently Is

FINE FOOT BALL GAME.
Georgetown Victorious In Struggle
With Virginia Military Institute.

The finest game of foot ball seen on
Georgetown field this season was played
Saturday afternoon between the eleven rep
resenting the Blue and Gray and the team
of the Virginia Military Institute, from
Lexington, Va. The play from the start
was fast, snappy and a. times brilliant the
spectators on the blea being moved to
their feet many times as they woke the
echoes with enthusiastic cheers over spec
tacular runs and plays which took place on
the gridiron. The weather was all that
could have been desired. and a large gath
er1ng witnessed the game.
Kelley, the speedy captain of the George
town team, played in star form, carrying
the ball for substantial gains at nearly
every opportunity. He shot around the
ends and through the tackles with unusual
speed. and had several long runs of from
twenty-fi to thirty five yards to his credit
during the game. Buckley was very much

the opposing side. He caught nearly all of

splendid work. In fact, the whole team
played excellent foot ball.
Jones was the star Of the visiting eleven.
He was In all the plays. and In carrying
the ball. punting. tackiing and general de-

gave a worthy exhibition. Considering
the fact that the v. M. 1. team is
composed almost entirely Of new men

markable. Milton Is the only man who

captain, was substitute last year. The
eleven has played but one other game this
year, with the strong team from ST. AL
