Tennis 400 Years Old.

1t may be claimed that lawn tennis
is at least three centuries old, having
been played in 1891 when Queen Eliza
beth was entertained at Elvetham, in
Hampshire, by the earl of Hartford.
Strut, quoting from Nichols Progress
of Queen Elizabeth" tells us that
latter dinner, about 8 o'clock, ten of
his lordship's servants, all Somerset
shire men, in a square green court, be-
fore her majesty's window, did hang
up lines, squaring out the form of a
tennis court and making a cross line
In the middle. In this square they, be-
ing stripped of their doublets, played,
five to five, with handball to the great
liking of her highness."

1--WE are In favor of legislation that
will effectually prevent the catastro-
phe that would follow a general rail-
road strike and at the same time fully
recognize the rights of the laborer n

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1920-01-09

If the conferees of the senate and
house do not arrive at a Satisfac-
tory solution of the railway bill puz-
zle, 1t will not be for lack of advice,
expert and inexpert. All sorts of or
ganizations have been taking a whack
at 1t, and all of them are directly in
terested. The American Federation
|,of Labor, the four railway brother
hoods and ten railway shopmen's
unions affiliated with the federation
got together in Washington and told
what they wished, what they hoped
for and what they would not counte-.
nance. In the first place, they de
clared themselves in favor of two
years more of government operation
of the railways, in order to give the
principle of government ownership a
real test. They realized that the re-
turn of the roads to their owners on
March 1 Is now q certainty, but gave
notice that they will make government
ownership a political issue in the fu-
ture. AS for the pending legislation,
they declared themselves against the
anti-strike feature and the penalty
provisions against ceasing work, and
in favor Of the features which tend to
establish better relations between the
employees and the carriers, and urged
that these features be extended to the
sleeping car and Pullman company
employees. The railway shopmen
already have voted to strike if con-
gress adopts the Cummins anti-strike
provision, and !. is believed the broth
erhoods might adopt the same course.
Next, the American Bankers asso-
citation told what it considered neces-
sary to rehabilitate the impaired cred
it of the roads. 1t favors the speedy
return to private ownership the vol.
untary but not compulsory consolida-
ton of railroad properties; permissive
federal Incorporation; exclusive regu'
lation and control of the issue OF
stocks and bonds by railroads and wa
ter common carriers by a federal
board; a government guarantee to the
roads for six months after the end OF
federal control, of net operating in

troll and an extension of the carriers
Indebtedness to the government fol
capital expenses to run serially fol
from ten to twenty years. All these
features are in either the Cummins OF

in both.
