FIRST OF MODERN PUGlLISTS
Jack Broughton, EngIishman, Nearly
TWO Hundred Years Ago, Formu-
lated Rules to Govern Sport.

Jack Broughton, the father of pu-
gilism, fought his first fight on July @,
1725. He was engaged In many rough
and-tumble fights with other lads, but
at that time he knew nothing of box
ing, which was just being introduced
by james Figg. While attending a
fair Broughton was attracted by box
Ing booth kept by Figg and was much
incensed by the foul tactics used by
a big man in boxing a much smaller
one. He demonstrated with the big
brulser and an altercation ensued
which had reached the stage of tisti-
cuffs when Figg interfered and invited
the two men to the stage to settle their
differences. Young Broughton, after
ten desperate rounds, completely tri-
umphed over his older, bigger and
more experienced opponent. That was
Broughton's introduction to the ring.
After Figg's death he became cham
pion and by formulating code OF
rules to govern the game he became
entitled to rank as the founder Of
modern pugilism.

WOMEN JOIN TRADES UNIONS
Thousands Have Flocked to organiza-
tlons During the Past Year,
Statistics Show.

Eighty thousand woman clerks,
stenographers, accountants and other
office workers have joined trades union
organizations during the past year, ac-
cording to the Washington office OF
the National Womens Trade Union
league. Many of these women are ems
ployed in railroad offices, others in the
various branches of the federal civil
service.
1t is said that this tendency among
clerical workers is a part of the great
est movement among wage-earnefs OF
which there is any record in the labor
movement in the United States. In
addition to office workers, teachers
have been organizing in the American
Federation of Teachers, which is also
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The figures for. retail
clerks, garment and textile workers
machinists, etc, are not yet available
but it is believed that they also will
show a reasonable increase In the
number of organized women In the re
spectiye trades and industries.

FEW UNEMPLOYED IN CANADA
Labor Department Reports Situation
There as but Slightly Below
the Normal.

According to reports from the Cana
dian Department of Labor. the labor
situation, so far as skilled workmen
are concerned, is, but slightly worse
than normal, and not nearly so bad as
at the end of 1915. Recently 1,4S5 la
Dor unions, representing membership
of 1851 skilled workers, made re-
ports to the labor department, which
showed that of this number of workers
1880 were reported as unemployed on
December 81 last, this. being per-
centage of 242 as compared with the
previous year of PIT per cent.
Unemployment had reached its high
est point in 1915, when 81 per cent of
the skilled labor in Canada was idle.
BY cities Toronto was the highest with
461 of unemployed skilled labor,
Winnipeg and st. John, New Bruns-
wick, being at the foot of the list, the
former with .SS, and the latter with
"a per cent of its population.

WHATLL MRS. GARY DO?

Chicago, Ill-In general, the strike
is effective. There are indications
that many firms in other industries
are finding it exceedingly difficult to
maintain production, because of the
lack of steel One small item shows
an effect of the strike Brother Boyer
of the broom makers, told me that a
number of their shops were about
to close down, because they were un-
able to secure broom wire. South
Chicago and other points are holding
well. Over 1000 negroes are employed
at that plant. The labor turnover
amongst them is enormous. The pro-
duction cannot equal 20 per cent. The
cement plant in Indiana Harbor, part
of the U. S. steel, is crippled, despite
reports. j. H. DEYOUNG.

orinln Of the "Eoolscap. y

The fact that the British govern
ment, on economy bent, has discon-
tinued the use of foolscap paper for
official correspondence, has called
forth a mild discussion as to the
origin of the name. Most authorities
are agreed that 1t is due to the water
mark, fools cap, with whiGh this size
Of paper was adorned, but when it
comes to the question of who first In
troduced 1t authorities differ. Some
say it comes from Germany, ani point
to the fact that German paper, bear
ing foolscap watermark, and dating
from 1479, was exhibited in 1877.
Others credit the claims of Sir John
Spielman, who had paper mills at
Dartford toward the close of the six
teenth century. And yet others lay 1t
all to an order made by the rump
parliament which enjoined that the
royal arms In the watermark be re-
moved from the official paper Of the
house, and "a fools cap and bells be
substituted"

ALL BOW TO MY LORD TIGER
Natives Of the East Most Willingly
Accord Him Royal Rank--Is
Sacred From Attack

OF all the animals delfied in the East
none is regarded with more awe than
my lord tiger. Especially throughout
Siam and Indo-China, the tiger is king.
Shrines are built and sacrifices made
to him; he Is as sacred from the at
tack of the natives as is the white ele-
phant of Siam.
If there are fewer tigers in this part
of the East today, 1t is due largely to
the efforts of western sportsmen who
occasionally can persuade bribe, or
threaten few natives to aid them In
a hunt. Any such lack of respect on
the part of the natives is, however.
looked upon frowningly by their neigh
bors who seem to fear that the tiger
will forget the exact individual who
attacked him and remember only the
community
Native reverence goes so far as to
allow tiger to prowl undisturbed
about a village night after night, at
tacking and sometimes killing those
so unfortunate as to cross his path. In
the day the sacred beast retires to his
mountain domain, where he stays en-
tirely hidden until nightfall.
1t is obvious that the royal tiger
rules entirely by fear. Awe-inspirlng
he is himself, and his supremacy Is
helped along by the attitude of the
natives. To the tiger are attributed
all manner of supernatural powers. 1t
is held that he always knows and
tracks down those who offend him; he
can even turn himself into human
being, the better to seek out his enc
mics.

STRIKE TROUBLES IN GREAT BRITAIN

London, Oct 2s tRy the A. P).- Great Britain. like the United States. is having great difficulty attempting to establish an arbitration tribunal to avert nation wide strikes.N ' fsz
 There is yet no adjustment of 1the dispute arising out of the government s refusal to include certain classes of workers under the provisions of the hours of employment bill which was introduced just before parliament's re- cess in August. And on an adjustment of this difficulty. according to labor leaders, depends the success or failure of efforts to establish in Great Britain a national industrial councir which. 1t was hoped would obviate such troubles as the recent railway strike ir-

persisted in it's refusal to give effect to some of the important provisions of the agreed report. F The government has reaffirrned it's attitude and refused to make any con- cession. The workers representatives, therefore, decided tos~first meet the employers delegation and then, if no progress could be made. to demand that the. full industrial conference should be recalled in order that they might confer with it and receive a further mandate.
 Neither side shows indications of willingness to give way Many persons in touch with industrial affairs believe it will end in the whole scheme for the setting up of national arbitration body falling through. leaving the gov ernment to proceed with the AS hours bill on it's own responsibility and with out the weight of employers and trade unions behind it.
 s The situation is further complicated by the fact that the trane unions com gress, in accordance with a resolution passed at it's Glasgow meeting in Sep tember, has decided to proceed at once in the house of commons with a bill establishing a universal working week of A hours. It is likely that the two bills will appear before parliament at the same time if the labor party can find opportunity for its bill to be dis-s eussed.
