DEAL, England, May H..
Francis Ouimet, last survivor Of
the American team in the British
amateur golf championship, was
beaten ii the. se1ni-final round
today by Roger Wethered, star
of the British forces The score
was 4 up and 3 to play, Wethered
out-shooting the American entry
consistently after the seventh
hole.
Storm Breaks During Game.
A storm was in the offing as
Ouimet and Wethered started out on
their afternoon round in the semi
finals. The Britain scored first, TAX
ing the opening hole, but Ouimet
managed to square accounts at the
fifth. At this point the storm broke
over gallery and players, drenching
them to the skin. Ouimet was fight
ing the English star, shot for shot.
Wethered, however, replied with
a counter squirt, and at the ninth
was 2 up, winning the seventh, get
ting a half on the eighth and win
ming the ninths The run of the game
was distinctly against Ouimet at this
point.
Ouimet, like the last Of the Mo-
hicans, went down fighting to the
last gasp. He was the grim, in
domitable, and, withal, the correct
Ouimet to the very last, but all he
had at the end was the handshake
Of one good sportsman for an.
other. Wethered played the better
golf today and richly deserved the
honors that went with a terrific
man-to-man encounter.
Smiles in Face of Defeat.
Although the Boston entry was
a sorely disappointed man he was
too fine sportsman to display the
slightest emotion before a critical
pro-Br1tish gallery Of huge proper

Wethered, and only his friends
knew that the smile masked an
inward ache. 1t was the proverbial

MOLDERS GET WAGE RAISE

An agreement for the ensuing year
has been reached last month between
the International Molders' union and
the Stove Founders National Defense
association, recording considerable
advance for the molders within the
jurisdiction of the international union.
The oldest agreement between a
national association of employers and
a national trade union is the one
which, for 80 years, has existed be-
tween the Stove Founders National
Defense association and the Interna-
tional Molders' union. The annual
conference between the two associa-
tions goes beyond the hours and wage
questions, and establishes, through
joint legislation, the shop rules and
regulations as well. During the re-
cent depression reduction in wages
had been mutually agreed to.
At the annual conference between
the two associations the latter part
of December, an agreement was en-
tered into which established an ad-
vance in wages of Is 2-10 per cent
for piece workers in the stove and
heater industry. A universal mini
mum of $3.50 per day was established
for day workers. In connection with
this it was agreed that wherever the
other branches of the trade estab-
lished a higher minimum in the dis
trict, this would automatically apply
in stove and heater foundries. In ad-
dition all day workers receiving over

MACS GREETINGS FOR 1928

Editor Newark Leader
Farewell to 1922 and joyous greet
ing to 1923.
The year 1922, with it's successes
and it's failures, its sorrows and its
joys, has passed into history, leaving
to each of US a rich legacy of ex-
perience which, if rightly used, will
greatly aid in solving the problems
which the new year brings to US.
The dawn of 1923 finds the world
wiser and richer than at the begin
ming of 1922.
The pessimist can, of course, find
much material for discouragement,
but the lion-hearted optimist who
takes things, good and bad, philo-
sophically and heroicallX strives to
make the most of all opportunities
will make the most of the glad new
year with the courage of a confident
hope firmly resolved that he will
profit by the errors of the past and
make the coming DAYS his most sue
cessful days.
With the Golden Rule constantly
in our minds, we have nothing to fear
and much to expect from the new
year, if we are true always to our
best instincts and earnestly and pa
tiently seek the reward that true
merit wins.
The writer desires to congratulate
the Leader because of the good work
it is doing for Union Labor and
other great causes. May every day
of 1923 be a prosperous one for it.
Cordially and faithfully yours,
MAC MOSSMAN.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-01-12
COMPLAINS OF STREET CON-
DITIONS

Editor Leader-If instead Of intro
ducing new tangled ideas, mixing
religion with politics and changing
the council chamber into a church,
which | see by the papers has been
done or is contemplated, the members
of the honorable city council would
devote little more of their time and
expend some of their surplus energy,
in looking after the comfort, happi-
ness and convenience of the men and
women whose votes put them in the
position of honor and trust they now
occupy, and whose servants they are,
they would give more general salts
faction to their constituents and
greatly increase their chances of re-
election.
