EUROPEAN RING TITLE
MAY CAUSE A DISPUTE
BY FAIR PLAY.


When Eugene Crioui arrives in this
featherweight championship of the
world, giving it as his right because
he holds the European title. he Is
likely to be chased about by wild
eyed young Briton, who claims he is
the champ. We refer to Billy Mat
funny. with Criqui chasing Kilbane
and Matthews chasing Criqui.
It looks as though the Englishman
had more right to the title than has the
Frenchman, who bases his claims to
the crown of his class on the de-
feat Of Arthur Wyns. the former
is, however, that Matthews beat
Criqui to Wyns, and defeated the
Belgian some time before the French
boy turned the trick. So why isn't
Billy Matthews. and not Gene Criqui.
the real champion feather of Europe?
Matthews tried hard to settle the
willing if some promoter would meet
his terms. But England and France
have taken a summer vacation from
fighting. and there was not pro-
moter who dared offer anything
worth while in the shape of purse.
tors would not make the venture
worth while. So Matthews says he
will follow CriQui to this country. If
he does there will be little difficulty
in getting the two Foreigners to-
gether. provided they are not too
exorbitant in their demands
Matthews has almost exactly the
same style of fighting as Pal Moore.
This being so. it is not dollars to
doughnuts that Criqui would be
stuck on meeting the lad Our
champs all fight shy of Pal Moore.

MINERS WAGES
MAY Be BOOSTED
ON September |
Colorado Operators Will
Probably Restore. the
Scale in Effect Prior to
November, 1921.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 3O.--W wages
of Colorado coal miners will prop
ably be increased September 1 to
the scale in effect prior to NoVem-
her, 1921, operators declared late
today after a conference with the
state industrial commission.
Wages were reduced approx
mately 30 per cent last November
in anticipation Of similar reduc-
tions in other fields. Since the re-
cent agreements in other states re-
storing the former wage scale, Col
orado wages are much lower than
in surrounding states.
An exodus of miners which would
seriously cripple the coal produc-
ton of Colorado will commence
within a few days, unless the 1921
scale is restored Immediately
thirty-five operators from various
producing fields told the industrial
commission this afternoon.
The conference was held for the
purpose Of discussing the legality
of an immediate increase in wages
in view of that section of the Colo
RADIO industrial law which provides
that employers shall give to- the
industrial commission "at least
thirty days prior written notice OF
an intended change with respect to
wages.
At the close OF the conference,
during which different operators
expressed the belief that delay
would be detrimental both to the
coal industry and the public, the
commission announced it was unr
able to advise operators-ss to what
course they should pursue.
Chairman Bell, however, read
from a previous decision in which 1t
was stated to be the custom of the
commission to recognize agreements
between employers and employees
unless such agreements were pro-
tested. Several operators declared
after the conference that the OLD
scale probably would be restored
September l on the basis of agree
ments with employees.
