adelphia for Twenty Years.
An almost Utopian condition of CO.
operation has been reached In the shoe
industry of Philadelphia, and strikes
and lockouts are 40 more. Since Nov.
II, 1877, every labor trouble between.
the manufacturers and their employees
has been satisfactorily adjusted by a
unique board of arbitration of seven
men elected by the factory owners and
seven men elected by the workmen.
Although &C per cent of the decisions
of this board have been in favor of
the workmen, not II has been pro-
tested by the employers. Neither have
the workmen complained against the
decisions adverse to them, but they
have in every instance silently acqui-
esced and have remained steadily at
work.
Other manufacturers Of the city
have watched with close interest the
operation of the arrangement between
the Shoe manufacturers Association
and its employees. AS a result, at the
last meeting Of the association thirteen
firms, including seven Camden firms adj
mltted by an amendment to the by
laws, joined the association. 1t now
embraces all but one or two of he lead
ing firms in the manufacture of shoes
in that city and Camden, and some
1900 work-people will come under the
b~cnelcent operation of the associations
agreement with its employees.
1t was after a long and bitter strug-
gle with the Knights of Labor in 1887
that the manufacturers met to devise
some scheme whereby the strikes, that

WHERE TO FISH

Fishing during the past week has been
good bad and Indifferent at the various
beach resorts. The high swells of the early
ana mid-week times made poor and indif-
ferent fishing at most of the coast points
and during the latter part Of the week but
two or three places rewarded the visitor
with good sport.
Yellow tail. white sea bass. hallibut. yell
low I'm, smelt and mackerel were much IN
evidence during the latter part of the week
and the fishing was especially good al
Catalina Thursday and Friday.
The washing out Of the piers at Long
Beach and Playa del Rey and the damage
to the pier at Santa Monica put these re-
sorts out Of commission and at other points
the rough water prevented anythink lige
satisfactory sport.
Tomorrow promises to be good day at
most of the resorts, and II is believed that
the Santa Monica and Playa del Rey piers
will be omen.

JEFFERIES WILL
REFEREE BOUTS
AGREES TO ADJUDGE SCRAPS
AT VERNON TODAY
MCFARLAND PLANS BIG SHOW AT
TRAINING CAMP
Several Prellm Boys, Carded for Bat
ties Friday Night, Are Working
Out at Maud junction Every
Afternoon

Fight fans will be at loss to make
selection Of the fight camp to visit this
afternoon, as there will be more OF
them in operation during the afternoon
than on any previous Sunday in the
history of the local fight game. Camps
in nearly every portion of Los Angeles
county will be in operation. and each.
Of course, will attract its attendance.
Naturally the greatest interest centers
in the workouts of Packy Mcfarland at
Vernon and Freddie Welsh at Venice.
However, ten or fifteen boys will work
at the Maud Junction pavilion. Tommy
Hennessey is working at Santa Monica,
several San Pedro scrappers are IN
training in that city and other fighters
are working in private gymnasiums and
camps in and about Los Angeles.
Packy Mcfarland will put on his first
big show this afternoon at the South
Side Athletic club in Vernon, and Will
take on his regular staff of sparrtng
partners, including Harry Dunn, Charlie
Anslinger and probably Pat Kinealy,
his trainer, and also will box with
George Damron and Sam Coulter, anna
teur boxers from the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club classes instructed by Dewitt
C. Van Court. Packy is getting In fine
condition now and will travel at a
merry pace this afternoon. champ Jef-
fries will attend and referee the bouts.
Freddie Welsh will spar several
rounds in his open air ring in front
of the Venice amphitheater and will
take on Kid Carsey, Ivan Kahn,
Howard Baker and others as they show
up for workouts. Freddie expects two
or more amateurs from the Los Angeles
Athletic club, and as they get much
practical benefit and experience In box
ing with the superlatively clever Welsh
man they will not disappoint him to-
day. Jim Morley probably will referee
the bouts
Danny Webster, Jim Cameron, Frank
Picato, Dick Winter, Kid Adams, the
Harlem Coffee Cooler, jr., and several
other local fighters will work out at
Maud Junction and will use unengaged
local fighters as sparring partners.
These boys always furnish a lively time
when in the ring and their workouts
are as good as the real thing In action,
smuggling and excitement
Workouts will start at all training
camps at o'clock promptly, and will
continue for an hour or more.

RUNS MADE RAPIDLY
BY BOTH THE TEAMS
CRICKET MATCH MARKED BY
HARD HITTING
Batsn,en on Each Side Make Strong
Stand, Bowling for Some Time
Appearing to Be Entirely
Mastered

Santa Monica and the Pilgrims met
again on the Vineland ground Of the
Los Angeles Cricket club Saturday af-
ternoon. The game was characterized
by hard hitting on both sides, the bats
men having much the best of the bowl
ers.
Santa Monica was the first to go to
bat, and after three wickets had fallen
for % runs, a stand was made by Coch-
rane and Mitchell that is seemed for
long time it seemed impossible to break,
repeated changes of bowlers having no
apparent effect in checking the hitting.
Cochrane, who arrived In Los Angeles
only today from long journey batted
with the greatest freedom, scoring
many boundary hits, but finally sue
cumbed to a lob by Barwell. Shortly
afterward Mitchell, who had played ex-
ceedingly steady and careful cricket,
was caught far out in the field from a
hard drive by Tempest off Morris bowl
ing.
Soon after this. and with only five
wickets down, Santa Monica retired
from the field to give the Pilgrims
chance.
The latter, in their turn, quickly be-
gan to accumulate runs rapidly, rolllng
up 146 for five wickets before stumps
were drawn. OF these c. P. Sommer-
Vile made II by hard hitting, but he
was missed in the field on several oc-
casions. He carried out his bat.
on both sides the fielding. was not up
to the standard of the Batting, al
though there were several instances OF
brilliant work.
The match on the same grounds this
afternoon will be between the Zlngarls
and the Wanderers.
The score of yesterday afternoons
play was as follows:
