FITzslMMoNs THE FAvoRiTe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 21.-
With the battle between Robert Fitz-
simmons and George Gardner for the
light heavyweight championship OF
The world but four days on the public
interest in the event has reached a
high pitch. The bout is the subject
Of conversation in all places where
sporting men are wont TO congregate
and from all appearances the contest
is due to receive as much attention as
ever did a championship fight pulled
off in this city. The popular interest
may be ascribed in large measure
to the prevailing belief that the fight
will be an even one and certainly in
teresting from a scientific standpoint.
Fitzsimmons continues to be a
slight favorite over Gardner in the
| betting that is being done on the re-
suit The former champion continues
hard at work at his training quarters
and those who have seen him box have
been so impressed that they are will
| ing to back him to carry OFF the hon
ors
While Fitzsimmons is working like
| a Trojan, Gardner is by no means neg
lecting to put himself in the best con
| dition to defend the title OF light
heavyweight champion. which he won
from Jack Root at Fort Erie last July.
The Lowell boxer realizes that Fitz-
simmons is one of the most dangerous
fighters in the ring today, but Gardner
is nevertheless confident and believes
he will be returned the winner.
| Although the betting odds favor
Fitzsimmons, Gardner is by no means
lacking for admirers. There are many
who believe that Gardner has a good
chance of defeating the Cornishman
and is just now in his prime. This Is
a big advantage. but the Fitzsimmons
followers argue that the former cham
pion's great Furnishing qualities will
more than Offset the advantage Of age

EIGHT HOUR LEGISLATION
is OPPOSED

ASHLAND. o., Nov. 2l.-ln view OF
the effort for eight hour legislation,
which organized labor's representa-
tives have already begun in Washing
ton, f. L. Myers of this place. presi-
dent of the national association OF
Agricultural Implement and Vehicle
Dealers and leader among the prom
inent employers of the country, who
have organized for the purpose OF
combating what they regari as the un'
just and unreasonable demands of the
labor unions, has given forth the fol
lowing statement of his views
The tendency in the direction OF
an eight hour schedule for labor de-
mands the attention of every employ
er From a manufacturers stand
point. the future of our country de
pends very largely on whether we can
have the labor of our employees 8 to
10 hours per day and get result a here
tofore, or be compelled to recognize
the eight hour schedule.
"I have always taken the position
that II we can have the services of our
artisans and mechanics from 8 to 10
hours per day. we can compete against
any country in the world and. practi-
cally without protection, and that the
future of our country and its growth
in the introduction of manufactured
articles into foreign lands depend very
largely upon our ability 10 do this
During my travels in foreign countries
/ found where the eight hour schedule
existed that conditions were decidedly
unfavorable, resulting disastrously to
the employer because of his loss oil
business that went to others more IA
vorably situated, and the fact that the
laborer who has time to stop at ques
tionable resorts on his way to work
before a. m. and TO do so on return
ing at p. m. becomes demoralized.
II have also taken the position thai
II is manifetly unfair to the farmer
who. to make 1t pay, is compelled tc
go to work at or a. m. and continue
until 6 or p. m. The farmer boy
would become discontented with his
lot to the extent of leaving the farm
still more rapidly if he were to heaI
our whistle and others at O'Clock In
the morning, and on completion Of the
day at o'clock. This would certain
ly have its effect upon the young mer
on the farm. and is another reason
why we should have the nerve to figh
every effort on the part OF the politi
clans to secure an eight hour schedule
They are largely the instigators of this
plan. and for political promotion
solely.
In my judgment every member o
the National Association OF Agricultu
raj Implement and Vehicle Dealers
should make 1t point to reach the ca
