JOKER IN CONTRACT:
CAUSES SCHENECTADY
W0RkMEN TO STRIKE

SCHENECTADY, N. Y.,, Dec. a.
Nearly a thousand boilermakers and
tankmakers of the American Locomo-
tive company have gone out on a
strike and unless an agreement can
be made the whole plant will be
tied up.
The strike in question has been
brewing for about a year, when a
new system Of time went into effect
whereby the men were paid a. bonus
for doing quick work, but joker
in the schedule appeared when the
men found they had to work twice
as fast as formerly to make the same
wages as before. During the last
few weeks orders have been coming
in fast and the men decided that the
time was ripe for a strike.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Members of
the Arctic Club of America tonight
adopted a resolution to refer the ques-
ton of further membership of DE-.
Frederick A. Cook to the board of di-
rectors, with power to act.
1t was said that charges would be
preferred against DR.. Cook by some
member of the executive committee OF
the club.
Rudolph Kersting. newly elected
treasurere of the club, who accom-
panied DR.. Cook on the Greenland ex-
petition of 1894 and to Alaska in 1901,
preached the subject of DR.. Cook S
membership. He argued that the Uni
versity of Copenhagen, after a thor
ough investigation, had declared DR..
Cook an imposter and favored immedi~
ate steps to dismiss him from the
club.
by his hoax he disgraced the Arc
tic club" said Mr.. Kersting.
Instantly the meeting was thrown
into an uproar and the debate that
ensued was long and stormy.
1t was learned that not more than
two or three members supported DR..
Cook outright. DR.. c. O. Stebbins.

expedition before the explorer was
heard from, urged that it was too
serious a matter to dispose of hEr-

lack of nervous temperament. OF the
two Johnson is decidedly the lesser
muscle bound.
From the past records of the two
men. it would seem that Jeffries can
deliver the harder blow, and if he is
to win at all he must get his punch in
early in the game or his younger and
more 1.-THE adversary will wear him
down. But he will have to be most ag-
excessively quick to get to Johnson, as
the latter's footwork and backward
spring cannot be beaten.
Finally, and perhaps most important,
We know Johnson's heart. That Of JEFF
fries we know nothing about.
Furthermore, Johnson will be able
to withstand head blows the better.
Now a few little items as to the in
ner training life of this pair that are
in the public eye.
How the Men Diet.
Johnson never diets; he eats any
thing that appeals to him up to the eve
of the fight. and Jeffries is not mucn
more careful. 1t is doubtful whether
this is a good plan, as it has been
proved in the case of tests with uni
versity crews that dieting has much to
do with condition and lasting power.
Both are drinking men. Johnson
never drinks whisky, but trains on
champagne and beer. Much will de-
pend upon the necessary curtailment
Of alcohol in each.
We have here two representatives OF
different races, both superb specimens
Of manhood. who meets outside of the
arena. with most kindly feelings TO-
ward each other, but when the time
comes that they shall see one another
face to face, ready for the manly fight
Of strength and skill, each will be
illed with the lardable ambition to
spare nothing. to leave no stone un-
urned, as far as the rules will permit
to win.
And il will be a battle royal. as
there is no possible doubt that 1t VIII
be honestly and squarely fought, anu
