The proprletors OF businesses newly

and limited patronage-could not zee It.
They we're timid, perhaps naturally.
They could not be convinced that . VOL
untary raising of Wages might not b.
taken as a symptom Of weakness which
would lead to overwhelming demands In
the future.
The workers In the trade recently
began to make demands for the very
benefits which the large manufacturers
wished to give them voluntarily. The
strength of the demand grew until the
strike threatened. The trade has known
for many weeks that there was going to
be q strike.
But the most influential firms did
nothing to forestall a strike. In their
hearts they rather welcomed II. believ-
ing that II would last only a few days
and would be a %clinching argument on
the smaller fellows to prove to them
the strength OF the union position. ].
Is safe to say that some OF the manu-
facturers hoped that the strike wouid
come as soon as possible so that the
small manufacturers could be brought
into line and have the disturbance OF

SWIMMING SEASON
 TO BE INTERESTING
Ky MONTY

New York, July 16--Plans for the out door swimming season of 1911 are well under way. and there is promise of more and better competition than ever before.
 The national championship will, as us- 1al, be held at intervals sufficiently far Ia part to allow every candidate to train specially for each event. The New York Athletic club has applied for the quarter mile swim and fancy diving contest, (which will probably be held at Travers island on August 19. The half and one mile races have been asked for both by the Pittsburg Athletic club and the Mis- eouri Athletic club of St. Louis but the committee has yet to make a decision. The 1o-mie title will be competed for again in the Mississippi river on August 1s, under the auspices of the Missouri Athletic club.
 The metropolitan championships will also have several sponsors. The New York Athletic club requested sanction for the A4O-yards swim on July b anl the half mile race on September 9; the Ideal Beach Swimming club for the fancy diving on August 15, and one other event for Sep tember 4. AS the Atldnllc I dcIl CluD IS also in the field for one race. however. it is probable that the mile will go to Sea Gate.
 The middle Atlantic titles will be com peted 7for in Philadelphia on September 2. The 1OO-yards, half-mile and mile are on the programme.
 As to the central and western cham pionships there is some doubt of their being run off Prominent officials of the two districts have been canvassing the clubs for likely promoters, but so far have found no one anxious to take the meets.
 The retirement of Charles NJ. Daniels from competition will add to rather than detract from the interest, for it will in- sure better racing.

DO CLUBS CARRY PLAYERS
 TO AN UNNECESSARY NUMBER?
BY MANHATTAN

Amateur Oarsmen that John O'Neil of
 Halifax, winner of the championship sin
 gles in 1909, will compete at the national
 regatta, Saratoga, July S-29, is received
 with great interest by oarsmen. With
 William Mehrohof, the Nassau Boat club
 star and present champion, and Fred Shepard of the Harlem Rowing club as the chief contenders for the honors from the MetropoIitan district in the race, the experts have already begun to figure out the chances of the local men against the great Nova Scotian
 O'Nef is without doubt one of the cleverest scullers in the western hemi- sphere When he won his title at De- troit, against Shepard and Dorando Mill Ter, the New York Athletic club crack, he was picked to win for years to come. For some reason he quit rowing, but has returned to the game.
 James Ten Eyek. the Syracuse coach, who has charge of the Toronto Rowing club crews, says that O'Neil seems to be in as good condition as two years ago. He has the same powerful sweep, and should give the New York pair good fight for the title"
 Many of sthe New York experts, like Jack Nasel and Jim Rice, however are of the opinion that. O'Neil will not be ble to row in top form for at least another year. With Shepard and Mehro- hof rowing in great form now, and with the regatta only three weeks distant, there is small chance for either man los ing form, and they should defeat 0 Neil. At all events, the race should be more interesting
