ing to have a hard fight on their
hands.

MORAN OR WEIGH
FOR WOLGAST

For as many reasons as man
might wish to mention one of the
two crack British boxers, Owen
Moran and Freddie Welsh, appear
to be the legitimate opponents for
Wolgast. Moran's solid victory
over Nelson has given him a great
boost, and the easy manner in
which Welsh disposed of Jem Dris-
coll the other night has sent his
stock along.
or the two it looks as though
Welsh's claim to a match with VOL
CAST is sounder than Moran's,
though Charley Harvey will dis
pute this statement. Welsh is the
undisputed lightweight champion
of the world. Moran owns no
championship, though he is right
at the top of the heap. Should
Welsh and Wolgast hook up the
bout would be one of international
aspect
+ Either Moran or Welsh opposed
to AID Wolgast would make a
whale of card, and if some pro-
moter can rib up match like this
he should reap rich harvest.

OF
JOE, WASN'T 1T?

Here's a hot one that is going
the rounds of the eastern papers:
Joe jeanette has peculiar
sense of humor. The other night
when he was fighting Black Bill
in New York he was in a hurry to
get up town to see Tommy Murphy
and Knockout Brown. So in the
beginning of the fifth round Joe
advanced to the middel OF the ring
and offered to shake hands with
his opponent.
Why said Black Bill, this
isn't the last round, OLE
That's all right said Joe.
It'll be the last round for you
with that-bing. Joe put over
the knockout"

LONDON WANTS
THAT BIG FIGHT
(By United Press Leased Wlre)

(By United Press Leased Wlre)
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-A fight
between Owen Moran and AID VOL
CAST in London is regarded as a
probability by local followers of the
swat game who think they see
from Hugh Mcintosh an offer
which the lightweight champion
cannot sidestep.
Mcintosh announced he would
pay $4,000 for the fight before
the Olympic club in London, which
is considerably in excess of what
Wolgast has demanded.
Moran already has accepted Nc
lntosh's terms, and 1t is up to VOL
CAST either to defend his title or
admit that Moran has it on him.
Should the fight be arranged IL
likely that the date will be set
some time in March or early in
April.

right at the start of play and
romped all over the field with

Wenatchee's boys were slightly
the heavier. but they were slow on
their feet, and did not get into the
plays quickly, while the Chicagoans
were fast as lightning and every
play moved like clockwork.
The score would have been even
larger, but in the last quarter, just
after Oak Park had made touch
down. the crowd became unman-
ageable and swarmed over the
field. The game was called with
eight minutes to play.

4 TRUCE!

The pefition of the railroad employees
asking President Taft and the Inter
state Commerce Commission to permit
the railroads to increase their freight
rates IS the corollary of the words of
encouragement which the railroad man
ayers extended to the same employees
when they were formulating their de-
nands for higher wages. The situation
is natural enough but somewhat novel.
The employees asked for higher wages,
announcing at the same time that they
expected TO find their demands welcome
since the railroads wanted an excuse"
for increasing freight rates. The rail-
road managers al once expressed sympa-
thy with the demands. and put forth in
some Instances statistics to show that
wages should be raised. Ultimately, af-
ter some negotiations and not. indeed.
without some threat of strikes. wages
were raised Freight rate increases fol-
lowed one Of the reasons for the neces-
sity of them being given as the increased
wages to employees. And now the en-
ployes. perceiving the unity of their in
terests and those of the employing cor
porations. ask that the increases be
sanctioned
Do all the notions about the Conflict
between labor and capital demand re-
vision? Is there a truce? Has regula-
tio1f or the restriction of competition
brought about change in their rela-
tions or is II bringing about one? In n
l,- nf
the relations between trade unions
among cobblers and their employers.
both before and after the competitive
organization of the industry, he showed
that great harmony and clear perception
of Joint interests existed among cob
blers and their employers before the
improvement of transportation widened
markets and destroyed the little local
monopolies. Wages were high. and en-
ployers were able to meet the demands
of their workmen by increasing their
charges for boots and shoes With the
setting in of competition came the con
f1ict" about which so much has been
heard. Serious strikes began and wages
were depressed
With the weakening of competition in
such lines as it IS weakening in. will
there be a tendency TO a return toward
something like the truce that Professor
Commons observed in the shoe industry
in the days of local monopolies? This in
cdent of the railways and their employees
getting more or less together TO advance
both rates and wages is isolated, and it
will not do to force an historical parallel
out of it, Still. il deserves noting as
natural and to be expected in the cir
cumstances. and impossible under coDdi-
tons when rates were fixed not by agree
ment or by public authority, but by the
necessity of meeting rates Of com
