Things are different now. When

that you had been struck. They

LIBERAL LABOR
FACTIONS MAY
AID MACDONALD
Party Splits Give Premier
Chance on Coalition
Ticket.
BY MOORE
United Press staH Correspondent

LONDON. Oct. splits in the
Liberal party and in the Seaham
division of the Laborites appeared
today to have given Prime Min
lister Ramsay Mcdonald the oppor-
tunity to head a coalition party
ticket as a bona fde Laborite can
didate.
The Seaham division had asked
Macdonald to resign his parlia-
mentary seat after the formation
OF the present national govern
ment and declined to renominate
him after the prime minister
travelled to Durham Friday and ad-
dressed Seaham delegates.
But the Merton miners lodge of
the Merton branch of the Labor
party decided to nominate Mac
DoDnald as a Labor candidate and
asked the Seaham divisional exec
utive to reconsider its position.
The decision asking for MacDon-

AIDS resignation was carried BY
only one vote.
Action on the Merton miners may
prove the decisive factor in n
abling Macdonald to avoid becom-
ing a candidate for a conservative
division, which he is anxious to
avoid. It is said he is convinced
that a large section Of the labor
movement will support him in a
general election.
The present emergency session of
parliament ends Wednesday. It was
believed likely that parliament
would be dissolved a few days after
adjournment, and the date for a
general election fixed for late this
month.

Nearly fifty years ago Miller

and stockings when he met his
opponents in the ring, as this
reprint of a drawing of that per-
iod shows.
Lower Right-This is the artists
conception of a fight between
George Siddons and Miller on a
bridge four miles north of Broad
Ripple in 1888. This is a reprint
of a drawing that appeared in an
indianapolis paper after the fight.
1--WE decades have passed since
Il Tommy Miller, then 10, slipped
his hands into two-ounce boxing
gloves and felt their impact against
the flesh of shipmate opponents IN
the United States navy.
Tommy was just a boy then. Con-
quests of outstanding fighters of the
nation in improviSed rings at out
of the way places were just dreams.
Today that same Tommy Miller,
gray haired and no longer fast on
his feet, sits in the Great Eastern
hotel or talks to indianapolis friends
of his ring days.
Conquests in rings OF the greatest
fighters of his time now are just
memories.
Miller was born in Indianapolis
Dec. 81, 1862. He fought a few
bouts while in the navy and
launched his professional career in
May, 1885, in San Francisco when
he met and defeated Jimmy Malo-
ney in six rounds.
That blew into flame the spark
that sent Miller through the feath-
erweight ranks of his day like a for
est fire.
But looking back on the sluggings
he administered and received in
years of fighting, Miller has n re-
greet.
Il was born fifty years too soon,'
he said. IF I were in the game TO-
day I would be in on the present
day easy money"

when they were called sports" and
when fights had to be held ir
places out of the beaten paths Of
police, may recall Miller'S famous
battle on a bridge north Of Broac
Ripple in September, 1883.
He lost the fight on a foul.
The fight was to have been staged
in Crone's grove at Broad Ripple
with George Siddons, to meet the
local boy for a $3.50 purse.
Verbal advertising had sent q
large number of fans to the ring
location. But the advertising hao
its Ill effects, TOO.
Police learned of the battle ano
as the twenty-foot ring was being
prepared, Captain Colbert anc
Sergeants Quigley and Dawson
stepped up.
Sparring exhibitions were put or
for their benefit by Joe Foppianc
and George Farmer. The principals
left the grove and the spectators
drifted out.
The next move was for friends tc
take the fighters to an iron bridge
four miles north of Broad Ripple. II
was $3.50 a.. m.

bR|TA|N'S TARIFF

Hope for Lowering All Pro-

L. as Result of Action.
BY A. X. DECKER

~ Gable TO The Star.
PARIS, France, December 3-British
ultrs-protection against abnormal i'm
ports" affects directly only a few
. European countries, although these few
are hard hit
Agricultural states Of Southern and
Central Europe send only a small per-
centage OF their exports to Great Brit
ain and usually their foodstuffs are Of
. type the British are not attempting
TO exclude. For example, Hungary
sends large consignments of turkeys to
London. The British are buying tur-
keys as usual this year, which helps
Hungary meet her foreign obligations.
Finland, Norway, Sweden and Poland
supply Great Britain with lumber and
mine timbers, which are vital TO Brit
ish coal production and hence are not
restricted
The countries hit hardest are Ger
many, Czechoslovakia. France and
Austria, all either manufacturing coun-
tries or producers Of luxuries, which
the British think they can do without.
The Queen Of England sends back
toys marked Made in Germany and the
Duke Of Connaught makes 1t known
over the radio that he is at British
watering place and not exporting cap
ftal TO the French Riviera. French
silks, dresses and articles de Paris are
hit with heavy duty. Czechoslovakian
gloves, hitherto exempt, receive duty
which excludes them. Austrian leather
goods, beaded bags and petticoat work
are dealt with as useless Mxuries.
The British tariff is thought to be
for bargaining purposes and not neces-
sarily for the purpose of excluding
foreign goods. European countries since
the war have inclosed themselves with
tariff walls and thought less and less
OF each other. Trade has retrograded.
The British foreign trade is being
helped somewhat by the pounds de-
probation and for the first time in
years British coal is competing sue
oessfully with German and Polish coal.
But, on the other hand, the confusion
the British helped to bring in the
money markets, merchandise financing,
insurance and shipping through the
pounds fall and the protective tariff
G making It very problematical when
business recovery can get going. Busi-
ness men In Central Europe say the
British are harmtng the very market
in which they wish to sell
However, the British governments
action In eQuipping itself with a tariff
Tor bargaining purposes is bringing re-
suits. Already negotiations are start
ing with France, Holland and Ger
many. Temporarily, tariff treaties are
expected to be negotiated or viewpoints
exchanged preparatory to a tariff con-
ference, which the British wish to call
following the repsrations and debts
