Points In the Railway Labor Dispute.

Responsibility for precipltating the
present issue of the impending rail.
way labor controversy rests with about
One-Quarter Of all the employees on
the railroad payrolls. but this minor
ity IL organized In powerful and ex.
elusive units. These unions have com
bined To propose An unprecedented
piece Of collective bargaining In which
the other side Is at a disadvantage.
All disputes involving organized
labor on the one hand and the rail
ways on the other have In recent
years been resolved In favor Of the
employees. The railroads are In "A
position which subjects them promptly
to public compulsicn In the settlement
Of differences and the prevention Of
public hardship.
The demand which the railroad
labor unions have framed for sub.
mission to the carriers Il not for less
work but for O pay. The proposal
of an eight hour day Is not Intended
to shorten working time on the rail
roads. but to make an eight hour day
the standard for computing wage
scales instead OF the standard ten
hour day. now established. The new
demand contemplates pay Mt the rate
OF time and n half for overtime, and
Is designed to increase labcr's PC
cuniary compensation.
Railroads are adjusted TO the ten
hour day. The demand which con
fronts them proposes to take advan-
tage Of the fact that the railroads,
operating t%wenty-four hours u day
and every day in the year. have 10

or from minute to minute to varying
conditions Of traffic, equipment and
weather. as we'll as to all the vicissi-
tudes Of difficulty inherent In the M.
ture Of the industry.
Railroad wages have risen steadily
Of late years. Their increase hus
made steady inronds on railway earn

exactions Of public regulation Of
rates and service.
In 1915 the railroads carried
u .OOh.O0O.OO more tons one mile and
4.000,OOO,OOO more passengers one

Great Match With Hoogs-Second Set Goes to 16 Games

nent W..
Hcogs Stars
The second set was hard fought
throughout. Each player won his
serve up to the fifth game, when
Hogs broke through and took Low
rey's serve. and the score stood 42
after Hoogs had captured his own
service With the score at 5-3 Hoogs
MAS Dlaving great tennis, and had
gained the ad and game by two great
returns from the base line
Opening the ninth game Alan was
serving, and Billy was placed on the
defensive. One went through for an
ace, while two other angle shots per-
fectly placed gave Alan the points and
the next went back after a pretty
rally for love game.
The next two games were hard
fought and number of pretty rallies
were staged, but Lowrey was playing
safe. and never tried for kill until
he had Hcogs out of position Hoogs
made a hard fight and his chop stroke
and backhand were responsible for
points IN the twelfth game Lowrey
won his serve ard was leading 40 30
in the next game. but netted the
match point and Hoogs broke through
after two ads. In the last two games
Lowrey cutclassed Hogs in all de-
partments Of the play, and made a
love game out of Hoogs serve for
the match
A large gallery witnessed the match-
es and Eva sent contingent to cheer
for their champion. After witnessing
the matches of yesterday it is certain
that the Big Four have improved their
game, and the tennis fans will look
forward to the finals with interest.
Then the mems doubles with the sami-
finalists as contenders are certain to

OAHU COLLEGE. Nov. 6-In spite
Of adverse predictions. the Punahou
Mills game on Saturday was very
interesting contest II was all The
more interesting to the large Mills
following that so well supported the
Red team from the valley. for these
followers saw their light eleven smash
and dash through Punahous line re-
peatedly, especially in the second halt,
and the contest was never one-sided.
The score was 20 to in Punahous a
vor, but this does not express the ma
ture of the game, for the Mills midgets
are fast and they have been made into
really good, scrapping team.
Ross Good Work
Not enough has been said of the
work of Coach Ross, Colorado Col
lege man Ross has not only taught
the Mills men the tricks of the game.
he has taught them to use these tricks,
The little fellows were in the game
every minute Saturday and they meant
business. 1t is true that the age and
experience CT the Punahou eleven
were too much for the youngsters, but
there was a punch in the team and a
certainty to their plays that has never
been seen in, Mills team before.
The very first thing Mills got off
on the wrong foot They won the toss
and chose to receive the kick. Peter
son booted the ball to Mills 10-yard
line and the Buff and Blue line forced
Mills to kick. The kick was not a
very husky one and Peterson raked it
in, sidestepped a fast but unwise Mills
end and raced down the field towards
the Mills goal Mahikoa made good
interference for him and Pete" circl-
ing wide, eluded all the Mills men ex-
cept the fast little Magpiong, who
nailed Peterson on the Mills 3-yard
line. Mills then held for two line
pIunges, but Mahikoa called for Pete
to again take the ball The play work
ed, for this rangy back started wide,
then doubled sharply back through a
little opening made by Mortimer Iyd-
gate and plunged across the line for
Punahou's first score. Try at goal
failed
This sudden stroke of luck was a
surprise to the Mills ranks. They
seemed less disheartened than be.
wildered, however, for not an instant
did they let up on the game. Again
they elected to receive the kick
rather an unwise thing in view of tic
weight Of the Punahou backs-and
they were soon forced to resort to a
second punt. For a few moments it.
looked as if the Buff and Blue was
going to furnish another stampeding
onslaught. but Mills soon stiffened and
genuine, balanced battle began III
the middle of the field In general it
may be said that the offense of both
teams was lacking, for although the
defense of both were vicious and de-
pendable, neither side could block or
interfere effectually. AS rule the
backs we're nailed behind their own
lines or were caused to run so wide
that little progress down field WAS
made.
