STANDS PAT FOR JOHNSON
London Vaudeville Manager In

LRy Cable 20 The Tribune ]

London, Aug. 81. - The Variety
Artists Federation passed a resolu-
ton yesterday strongly protesting
against the appearance Of Jack" John
son. the negro heavyweight. at the
London music halls. The manager OF
one of the halls at which Johnson is
booked insists that the boxer shall ap'
pear. but he says that any other per
former is at liberty to cancel or post
pone his engagement.
Johnson is expected here on Satur-
day morning. He has engaged house
for a month.
London. Aug. 2l.-The engagement OF
Jack" Johnson. the American heavy
weight pugilist, by a London music hall
where ne is booked 10 give boxing eN-
hibition on August %. was condemned at
meeting this afternoon of the eXecu-
tive committee Of the Variety Artists
Federation Deep regret was expressed
that the rules Of the Federation pre-
vented the executive committee from
taking drastic action without first re-
ceiving a vote of the entire membership
which time would not permit.
A resolution was adopted at the meet
ing characterizng the engagement OF
johnson in the existing circumstances a
question Of public decency, and adding
that in view OF the above rule II is for

The executive committee strongly pro-
tested against the tendency OF certain
managers Of music halls TO sacrihce good
taste by engagements which appear 10
be based upon unsavory notorety ac-
quired through the law courts. Hostility
to the negro boxers appearance on the
stage is gathering momentum, and II
seems likely that it will result in the
cancellation of his ENGAGEMENT.

CLEAN PLAYING BY BOTH SIDES

While seven hundred enthusiastic
and almost frenzied fans shouted,
yelled and shrieked, ten noble athle-
