RELIANCE rs THE DEFENDER
New Boat Selected to Race the Shamrock

Is After,

New York. July 2S.-At the finish
OF the first of the intended three races
to decide which of the three yachts
Reliance, Columbia and ConstitutiCn-
should defend the Americas cup
against Lipton's new challenger, the
Reliance was selected as the defender.
The race was sailed in a 15-knot breeze
and the Reliance crossed the line first.
The Constitution soon passed the Re
lance, but the latter shook out a spin
maker and regained her lead, four min
utes and twenty-eight seconds ahead
of the Columbia, and four minutes and
fifty-siX seconds ahead of the Consti-
tuition.
From the showing Of the three boats
during the season the Reliance is fail
ly entitled to be the defending vessel.
In every race she has crossed the fin
ish line ahead, and has lost but few
events on time allowance. 1t is prOba-
BILE the defender will proceed to BriS-
tOl for thorough overhauling. 1t
was also decided to discontinue the
trial races.

UNCLE SANS PRINT SHOP
Presidents Ruling Makes It "Cpen" and
the Labor Unions Are Thinking
Mighty Hard,

Washington, July 2S.-Thcre was
long discussion at a meeting at Typo
graphical hall of the situation arts
ing over the reinstatement Of w. A.
Miller, the assistant foreman of the
bindery in the government printing
office. The meeting was attended by
leaders of all the allied unions, be-
sides President GOmpers, of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. Those present said
that the meeting took no definite ac-
ton.
What bOthers the union is that the
presidents ruling in Miller's case
practically makes the government
printing office an open" shop, in which
a man OF woman may be employed
whether members Of any union or not.
They are very anxious that the chief
executive find some way in which his
ruling may be modified so that this
condition Of affairs will not arise and
that some solution will be found so
that the government printing office will
not become an 'open" shop. Hereto
fore it has been strictly union.
