Continued from Yesterday)
 We then left the New York Ath- 1etic club, Tim Hurst Kearns and myself walked down the street and got on a New York elevated. Kearns had a quiet disposition and sat in the train all the way down without say ing a word. In the meantime Tim and l were chatting all the time and Tim was a little afraid that I would not let Kearns go on,
 After leaving the train we went to told him to meet me at the Brooklyn Beach Athletic club and to bring his togs along as I was sure he was go- ing to box
 The papers, up to this time, had not given Kearns a line and nobody around Brooklyn seemed to know kim-
 As I entered the Brooklyn Beach club the next Monday, the Soldier was sitting in a big chair in the front of the club waiting for me patiently.
 AS Kearps and I stood there talk ing the crowd surged into the club and finally Lew Raymond, the matchmaker, came in. Raymond asked me if l had that big fellow here and I said yes, and I took Ray rnond over and introduced him to Kearns He told me to take him in- to the dressing room and get him ready and he would let him box the star bout that night as Jim Maher, of Ireland, brother of the famous Peter, was there, but his opponent had sent word that he would not show up.
 I told him everything was Kayo. So Raymond told me to hurry as fast as l could as he expected the semi
 final to be very short and to get into the ring as soon as the semi-f1nal was over. Soon after the semi-6nal which ended in a kayo in the third round we were on our way to ths ring. As we climbed Into the ring we noticed Jim Mahel in big green bathrobe going around ! the ring and testing the ropes, There was no time lost in introducing the I boys Johnny McAyoy, an old time

Encoura cement for builders ap- pears in practically all the prelimin- ary reports that are being receceived by the Division of Public Works and Construction Development. recently organized in the Department of La bor.
 Although there is no surplus of building materials on hand. from present indications. there is 8 suf- fcient amount to fill present needs. at least, and prices are not high as compared with other commodities. Moreover. labor is available now, and may not be six months hence
 Labor's attitude, too, is thoroughly conciliatory and reasonable, accord ing to all advices that have reached the Department of Labor. An in stance has just como to light at At lanto City, where a $3.00Q,000 hotel is under construction.
 Electrical workers employed else where in Atlantic City were receiving S7 1-2 cents an hour, but the rate of pay on the hotel was only 75 cents The men felt that they should receive the prevailing wage and informed the company to that effect.
 For time the controversy threat ened to halt work, but when the men understood that the company had taken the contract based on less than 75 cents an hour for electrical work CTS, and would lose heavily if they insisted on the S7 1-2 cent rate, the men willingly returned to their Jobs and agreed to stick at the 75 cent an hour basis so long as they were | needed
 Assistant Secretary of Labor Louis | F. Post, in an address before a. re. ] construction conference in Washing ] ton recently, declared that labor 1. | taking 8 most reasonable attitude IT | practically all the cases brought ts the notice of the Department.
 There is almost universal need for l improved housing and business build. | ings, according to information which l has already reached the Division ot | Public Works, and almost every rnu. nicipality in the United States ha. suspended construction of schools roads and sewers during the war, SC that large amount of construction
 is needed at once.
 It Is the general opinion amon5 l business men that the after-war De
 riod will bring America great oppor
 tunttes in the way of foreign trade
 If the country is able to accept them
 Homes, roads and bridges are a
 essential as factories and warehouse

 for the producers of the nation mus
 be comfortably housed and means 0
 communication must be available fo
 the country's progress.
 The building industry at the be
 ginning of the war produced moder fireproof buildings, hygenically de signed, at less cost than the old fashioned city buildings of 30 year ago, in spite of the gradually de
 creasing power of the dollar. The Department of Agriculture e. inmates that s3O0,O00G0 will I spent during the coming year o roads. This amount Is not greatly ] excess of normal road expenditure

MINORS NOW ON THEIR OWN HOOK Will Be Allowed to Manage Their Own Affairs Till
 1921.

New York, Jan. 1S-The conclud- ing session of a week of conferences between major and minor league base ball club owners was held here today, the principal business being the sign ing of new working agreement to take the place of the national agree ment abrogated by mutual consent of the two major organizations and the association of minor leagues, The minors now will be under control of their own board of arbitration until 1921.
