Good old Lord Lonsdale! used to
call him "Crumpets" when we were
at Eton and Balliol together. He had
many jolly nicknames for me, too,
all of them unprintable.
Cribs Scalp in Collection.
CPEAKING of dear old Lonsdale re-
- minds me ofthe first time I put on
the gloves with Tom Cribb, in my
opinion the greatest champion of
them all. What a fighter Cribb was!
I thought my knuckles would break
on his skull before I finally knocked
him out in the fifth round.
"Lardner," said the sturdy old sprig
of British oak, when he regained con-
sciousness some hours later, "the bet
ter man won"
Good old Cribb! He never spoke q
truer word.
That fight was arranged privately
by Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Bea-
consfleld 1--WE called him Dizzy" at
Harrow and the Duke of Con-
naught. Connaught had wagered 100,-
600 pounds on Cribb, but he wrote out
his cheque to me without batting an
eye.
A hundred thousand pounds
meant nothing to Connaught, I
learned later, when the cheque
came back.
I recall the circumstances Of the
joust with Cribh very well, because it
happened in 1882 (or 1880, the year
before the tropic rains spoiled our
polo in Rangoon. What rains those
were! The raindrops were bigger
than foot balls, as the Prince Of Wales
Che was with us) used to say. It was

THE MAJOR Is FED UP"
Copyright 1887. by The Baltinors sus

VxhJON Ell VI
There is a curious lack OF co-ordin-
alton among labor leader allies Of the
administration which is confusing to
the presidents friends and annoying
to his legislative advisers. This is par
ticularly evidenced In the matter OF
the Wage and Hour Control bill for
which Mr.. Roosevelt claims to have
a mandate" from the people, but
which, despite that claim, tired and
irritated congress let fail at the last
session.
From the political standpoint, the
enactment Of this measure early next
year is deemed very desirable, the
expectation being that it will form
the basis for most of the New Deal
propaganda in the 1898 campaign.
Northing so we'll lends itself to slo-
gans of the More Pay and Less
Work" type, and the publicity bu-
reaus are all geared to use it as an
Illustration of the noble way in which
Mr.. Roosevelt has sternly compelled
unscrupulous employers to cease
grinding their labor beyond human
endurance" and pay a Giving wage"
There is large percentage of bum
combe in the administration bally-
hoo on this subject, but it fits in per-
fectly with the New Deal style of
demagoguery and there was keen
White House disappointment at the
manner in which the bill was kicked
around last session. Had 1t not been
for the generalization of administra-
ton forces following the collapse OF
the court-packing proposals, a more
determined effort to jam 1t through
would have been made. That In either

Recent developments, however, indi-

through as originally drawn by the
Messrs. Corcoran and Cohen, spon-
sored by the president and presented
to congress. This was made clear the
other day In the speech Of that volu-

ing man, Major George Berry, now
senator from Tennessee, who, ad-
dressing the ALL. convention in
Denver, declared himself strongly
against having In the bill any pro-
vision for q government board or
bureau Ito regulate either the unions
or the conduct Of business" The
Major further alleged that he is for
"a simple law" and is "all fed up on
bureaus in Washington to fix wages
and hours"
As board to do exactly that thing
is the heart and soul Of the Co..
coran- Cohen bill for which the
president has asked, the attitude of
Major Berry in "bawling out" the
regulatory boards Is. to say the least,
surprising. It is true that the Major
is not as important in labor circles
as Mr.. Lewis, or even Mr.. Sidney
Hillman, now a fair-haired favorite
of the White House, and that both
of them are for the regulatory board.
But the Major is recognized leader
just the same. Moreover. he was the
chief speaker at the A. F. of L. con-
yention and is, besides, member Of
the senate, where he Is supposed to
be "labor's spokesman" Clearly his
declaration on labor legislation is not
lightly to be dismissed, even though

"You drove him to Floyd Ben

repeated incredulously. He saw

simultaneously. "And we got him

She did not understand why Mr..

One of the most interesting and amazing documents to

Altogether this corporation has loaned total Of $11790

It has collected $4,76S 466711 During its operation it
