PETE HERMAN WON
ENGLISH BOXING FANS
BY David Blumenfeld,

New York, Aug. 9.-When Pete
''Kid" Herman stood up in his boxing
boots at the Albert hall, London
some months ago, and calmly punch
ed little Jimmy Wilde around the
ring for II rounds, the fans went
crazy about him. They had never
seen anything like him before, they
said. Of course, the little Welsh boy
was giving weight away, and his
hands were none too good, but still
Herman outboxed him!
In the opening rounds the Ameri.
can boy showed himself to be mitt
artist of the first degree. He made
Jimmy miss, and he measured him at
will, crossing his right like piston
rod whenever he wanted. Jimmy
Wilde certainly ; showed wonderful
pluck. That's all he did show. Other
wise he wasn't in the picture. ~.
Herman has become a rage over
there. He hit our bantam champion,
Jim Higgins, with everything except
the bottle the other day. : ,
Gus Platts, English middleweight
is over here. Well, Platts ia a good
boy, but he is all in. He will put up
good enough show with Johnny Viii,
son to keep him on his feet, think
but that will be all. Platts has lost
his punch, as was demonstrated the
other day when ex-welter champion
Johnny Basham, outpointed him over
20 rounds the night Frank Goddard
gave an =. elephantine dance with
George Cook, heavyweight champion
of Australia. H'.-
Two years ago Platts stuck out Is
rounds with Ted "Kid" Lewis, but
too much credit must not be given tc
that performance. The two are great
pals, and l think Ted let him down
lightly, and gave the Sheffield fans a
treat-for the 'Kid" can box as well
as fight when he is in the mood.
Lewis, of course, is an anomaly. Ir
the ring he looks like a tiger. He is
cool and calm and he never takes his
eyes off his man from gong to gong
Bang him on the nose and he still
stares at you and comes back fol
more. But outside! The Kid is a
great, generous baby. He spends his
money like a railroad king with two
months in which to live.
The last L'saw of Ted he was sit
ting in London taxicab, with the big
gest basket.o fruit I have ever seen
The basket was tied up with a blue
ribbon and the Kid was taking it Out
to sick friend down with the grippe
Lewis is popular wherever he goes in
England, although the referees are
tnone too kind to him. They won't lei

About ten days before I left Eng
land I saw him driving down the
Strand. +, He was in a speed mode

BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL
MUCH STRONGER, DESPITE
ONTRADicToRy REPORTS

Taking advantage Of the patty
trouble at the new Riaito Theatre
which was brought about by reduc-
ton OF wages and the CONSEQUENT re.
.irement from the job by the building
labors. cement finishers and hosting
engineers "0pen Shop" agitators
are using every effort to- disrupt the
Building Trades Council. The fact
that the Building and General Labors
do belong TO the council, and that
there has been a slight friction be-
tween members of the various crafts
is sufficient reason in the minds OF
labor haters 10 presume that they can
influence certain unions to withdraw
from the council and this connected
with the recent increase In dues 10
the Building Trades Council Is being
used 10 accomplish this end
However there is no indication OF a
disruption i'm the Building Trades
Council On the contrary, il is expec
ted that II viii he material streng-
thened numbers within the next week
or two Recent events have streng-
thened the belief that a closer affili-
ton is necessary and at no time has
there been more cooperation between
the affiliated crafts than at the pres
ent time. The increase in dues Is
from 40 cents to 60 cents per month,
will materially increase the resisting
efficiency, and place the council In a
position to make more determined
resistance Than has been possible be-
fore.
Contrary 10 the report of a local
newspaper that the business agent OF
the Building Trades Council would be
dispensed with on the first of July,
inquiry indicates there is no inten-
tion on the part OF the council 10
make the move.

What union labor believes To be an

ganixed Chamber OF Commerce. and
thus destroy the usefulness of that
body, was attempted the latter part

ber OF Commerce and asking for sup
port in electing the candidates named
for members OF the board OF directors
The Chamber OF Commerce. as we
see IL. Is made mp of representatives
of all interests. who are TO work In
unison for the common good OF the
city. II Is indeed regrcttable tha,
any body OF mon would try to i'm
pose their own selfish interests upon
the membership OF the Chamber oil
Commerce. and we understand their
attempt 10 do so has been roundly
condemned by the progressive ele
ment of the new organization. The
result OF the election Monday proves
that no faction can nj the present
time control the policy OF the Cham
her OF Commerce. and we hope no
faction will have the gall TO again
try H.
The newly-eleeted board of direc.
tors are Leonard Lewis, Edward FIJI
son. Rev William Roberts, Isaac

While some OF these candidates
would have been eliminated II organ.
ized labor had been in position to
participate In the election, they are
as whole citizens representative of
the business interests, and as such
will have the guiding hand In the des-
tinies OF the city's foremost civic or
ganization for the next year. Let us
hope they. In their deliberations, con-
slider the things that will be for the
best interests OF the city as a whole.

tional Industrial Conference board.
but II adds that the decline leaves
the net increase betweep July, 1914,
and June 1, 1921. at 615 per cent"
The boards monthly computation OF
the cost>of lying 10 wage earners
throughout the country shows that
between May and June / OF this year
II dropped 2.3 per cent. This is based
on retail prices for the chief items on
the family budget
Last month, according TO the figures.
the cost Of food decreased as per cent
and clothing 38 Average prices OF
the other principal items remained
stationery
Food. considered 43 per cent in I'M
portance. Increased 1l9 per cent In
July 1880, above the prices for 1914,
and since last July food prices have
decreased 1873 per cent, says the
board. Shelter. placed at III OF the

cline OF SO per cent since July, 1920,
