JEFF Came Fast.
James J. Jeffries came fast. He
began boxing seriously in 1896.
Three years later he was the worlds
heavyweight champion after beating
Fitzsimmons. Jeff was through in
1910 after Jack Johnson knocked
him out at Reno.
Jack Johnson began fighting in
1899. It was II years before he beat
Jeffries when the big fellow tried
comeback. Johnson is still boxing
while serving time in Leavenworth
prison and will essay a comeback on
his release, which comes in July.
Jess Willard began boxing in
1911. Four years later in 1915 he
took the belt away from Johnson az
Havana Jess is not through yet.
He wants a rematch with Dempsey
who gave him such a terrific beat
ing in 1919.
Dempsey did not have any fights
of sufficient caliber to get IN the
record book until 1915. It took him
four years to wade through to the
title belt.

INDUSTRIAL WAR
THREATENS BRITAIN

LONDON. May 1O.-Renewed dam
ger of industrial war threatened
Great Britain today.
Bob" Williams, secretary of the
transport workers, was prepared to
stampede his followers into a strike
when the unions executives met this
forenoon.
Railway troubles threatened when
the government ordered the Gale
donia road, in Ecotland ito carry out
it's public duties" The order was is
sued when union railWaymen re-
fused to handle non-uniOn coal.
Government leaders recognize the
new danger by again pushing prepa--
rations to meet general tie-up of
industry with reserves called to
duty and special defense crops re-
cruited, there remained only the
task of calling them into active serv--
ice and again preparing the food and
fuel dumps. Thousands of soldiers
and sailors and volunteer Workmen
still are in the mining region as a
precaution against flooding of the
mines.
Sir Eric Geddes, minister of trans
portation, had Il long and fruitless
conversation late yesterday with
Charles Cramp of the railway union
and Bob" Williams, secretary of
the transport workers. The latter
was most truCulent.
williams demanded some assur-
ance that his men would not be dis
missed summarily for refusing to
handle non-Unior coal. Numbers Of
them have been discharged along
the Thames for declining to unload
barges which had been loaded by
non-uniOn men.

sultation with important New York

sentatives present at the meeting. Nc

ton was adopted or considered nee
eSsary, but it was agreed that this

NORTHWEST BETTER
By L. S. M'KENNA
'ased Wire Service to The Journal

Copyright, 1929
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 10.-Action
of the Ninth district Federal Reserve
bank directors in just reducing the
discount rate from to 1-2 per
cent is expected to impart a better
tone to business and further advance
the northwest in it's readjustment to
d pre-War basis
The rate on agricultural paper will
be reduced as wei las that on COM
mercial paper. The directors decided
on the reduction after a lengthy
is said, opposed the reduction, as
sorting that credit conditions had not
changed enough to warrant such &C
ton.
The lowering of the re-discount
rate Will not mean that more credit
viii be available to country banks as
well as commercial banks but it will
result in lowering the commercial in
tcreSt rates in the twin cities which
is now Z IL per cent.
Retail and Wholesale business and
the unemployment question in St.

the same as a week ago. Retail

Wholesalers see some improve
ment in trade. Many of the larger
houses and q majority of the local
shoe factories are sending their men
out on the road again. This would
seem to indicate that these merchants
see a, steady improvement.
Crop conditions in the northwest
are better than they were at this
time year ago. Several surveys
made within the past ten days show
that the farmers are planting more

Rift in General Cloud
OF Business Depression
In Europe Is Seen

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Some
signs of the rift in the general cloud
of business depression lowering over
Europe were seen in England and
Italy during April by American eco
nomic observers, according to the
monthly summary of world trade
conditions issued by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce.
In other European countries, how
ever. ana in South America, with the
exception of Peru, a continuation Of
the general industrial stagnation was
reported. In the far east, on the
other hand considerable financial
and commercial activity was noted.
Except for the arrangement of the
Industrial situation in Great Britain
by the coal strike the business Sit
uatiOn was reported as mC'5 hope
full. The financial situation was said
to be improving and the cost of liV-
t?g decreasing.
The general conoition Of the gov
erImcEt finances in Italy was re-
ported as more favorable with reVe-
nuCs increasing cOnSidera bly,. a de-
crease in exports was noted but in
view of recent p'iCe declines 1t was
said that the volume o. imports had
probably increased.
No Improvement in Franco was re-
ported, and in Germany an agitation
was said to prevail for the boycott
ting of entente wares. Depression OF
scandinavian trade both in manufac-
turing and in shipping was said to
continue.
Money was reported plentiful in
China as well as i'm Japan,
Belgian and German compcti-
ian ir and hard
was said to be keen in Brazil, but lit
tie new foreign investment was noted
as available. Some Improvement in
the Argentine market was observed,
although stocks on hand are stil
very large.
The financial situation in Chile. ac-
cOrding to the report, is gradually
growing worse with many minor
failures threatened, imports sta
tionary and exports decreasing. The
general belief was said to exist in
Peru that the financial crisis had
passed with exchange improving.

Government Lost
$1,000, 100000 on
Railroad Operations

WASHINGTON. Nav 1O:-Loss to
the government in operation of the
railroads under federal control will
be about $1,000, 100000, or $300,000,-
600 more than estimated by former
Director General Hines, according to
an estimate today by Director Gen
eral Davis.
The director general made his esti-
mate in the course of a report to
Chairman Good, of the house appro-
priations committee, on the progress
made by the railroad administration
in liquidating claims arising out of
federal control.
Former Director General Hines es-
timated the loss to the government
in operation during the period of fed
eral control would be $500, 47S,756,
Mr. Davis said. Because of claims
which have arisen that were not con-
sidered by Mr.. Hines, he. added, and
the underestimate made in allowance
for maintenance, fire losses, additions
and betterments made solely for war
purposes, and other accounts, 1T is
the estimate of the present director
general that the operating loss to the
administration will be about $1,2O0,-
600 600.
