Famous Battles
for
Heavyweight Title

No. 5.
BY the Associated Press
James j. Jeffries defended his title
against Tom Sharkey In % rounds at
Coney Island November 3, 1899. in a
bout that was not satisfactory to
either principal.
Both criticized Referee George Siler.
Jeffries saying the challenger should
have been disqualified, and the loser
picturing himself the winner on
paints.
So much speed was developed when
Sharkey pulled the glove from Jeffries
left hand that the referee could not
call halt until several blows had
been exchanged with the champion
sans one glove.
mo more picture machines for me,
was a pronouncelnent from Jeffries
after he had protested the heat
caused by the high-powered klieg
lights throughout the bout.
Sharkey was in superb physical
shape. SO impressed was IL writer of
the period with the challenger's con-
dition that he penned: Had kings

Careful estimates place the cost of
hiring new workers at $40 to $500, &C.
cording to the skill required.
Huge Turnover Shown.
The Wisconsin report for August
covers plants employing about $4,000
workers. At the rate OF labor turn
over in that month 1t would be neces-
sary to hire about 10000 workers dur
ing the year to keep this force going.
If we figure the cost Of hiring these
workers at an average OF $50 the
turnover costs these concerns $780,
900 a year. This must either be added
to prices or subtrscted from wages.
The rate of labor turnover, the re-
port shows, varies considerably from
industry to industry. But in August
it exceeded 100 per 100 workers en-
ployed in all except two leading in
dustries. In clothing factories work
ers were leaving at the annual rate
of 233 for each 100 on the payrolls.
The annual turnover rates per 100
employed of eight leading industries
figured on the basis of August re-
turns and on the averages of the four
months, March, May, July and August,
are:
