Jacobs blasted that certain
middleweight clique" today as
he prepared to close for a Is
round return bout between
Lightheavyweight Billy Conn of
Pittsburgh and Fred Apostoli,
the half crowned" middleweight
champion, at Madison Square
Garden on Feb. 10
Jacobs, who returned last
night from a threeweeks yaca-
ton in Florida. gave off such
torrid statements about Middle
weight Solly Kneger of Brook
lyn. and Solly's 160-pound pre-
decessors and their controllers"
that friends feared Promoter
Mike had been blistered by the
tropical sun.
Krieger is recognized by the
National Boxing association as
world middleweight champion,
and Apostol is king of the
middleweights in the eyes of the
New York commission.
There is a dispute over the
middleweight title Jacobs ex-
planned. we have been trying
to settle it. We have been try
ing to get Apostol and krie2er
into the same ring-again. The
last time they met, on April IA,
1887. Apostoh scored technical
knockout over krieger in the
fifth round. But that was be-
fore either claimed the title.
Now that both claim the crown,
Apostol is ready to meet
krieger in any ring at any time,
but Krieger is trying TO give
. him the run-around.
so Apostoli has to fight
light heavyweights. Apostoli

Garden Friday night. Con is a
ght-heavy. and very good
one. Apostoli wants TO meet
Conn again. He figures he can
turn the tables over the l5-
round distance. We expect to
close for that today. Conn AL
ready is signed No titles are
involved in their meetings.
But what we're most anxious
to do Is to match Apostolic and
krieger. Why won't krieger
accept such a match III tell
you why. Because Krieger and
his manager. Hymie Caplin. be-
long To a certain clique that has
controlled the so-called middle
weight title through Babe Risko.
Freddie Steele, Al Hostak and
now krieger. So, what will
Krieger do? He'll fight Hostak
again. probably in Seattle. Hos
TAX is the guy he won his claims
from. He won't fight Apostoli.
But. I'm telling you now-re-
gardless of what happens in an
other Krieger-Hostak fight. the
20th Century club is through
with Krieger. He'll never fight
Apostoli or anybody else under
our promotion"
Mike charged that krieger
and Caplin and their associ-
ates" were trying TO "phenagle,"
and I'VE don't have any phenag-
ling here. All we're interested
in is fighters who can fight. We
don't care about their connec-
tons. Certainly I've been in
touch with Hymie Caplin while
I've been on my vacation-in-
directly and otherwise That's
why I'm saying that Krieger Is
through. as far as the 10th Cen
tur,y ia concerned"

ASK MNE-HoURs CHANGE

WASHINGTON-A committee of
western members of congress is
drafting an amendment which would
exempt small metal mines from
hour provisions of the wage-hour
act
Rep. ]. Will Robinson of Utah,
chairman of the group, said the
committee would meet with Elmer
Andrews, wage and hour administra
tor, before completing It's work.
He said weather conditions, es-
pecially hard winters, often forced
small mines to close down and that
the only way miners were assured
of a good annual income was to
work long hours during the operat-
ing seasons.

gress: Commissioner George c.

tor of the Registration Division,
and several members of the Com
mission IS staff
The Commission has sent letters
to members of Congress and others
interested in the matter advising
them of the action that has been
taken. The letters state in part
1.-THE Commission has given very
careful consideration to this PROB
lem and as a result has set up with
in the Registration Division MIN
ing Unit, headed by an experienced
mining engineer, which will examine
mining statements and prospectus
es insofar as the technical data is
concerned. Such statements and
prospectuses will, however, be ex-
amined by other members of the
staff who are familiar with the
creation and marketing of all types
of securities, both mining and nom
mining, in connection with the var
ious other factors common to all
securities, such as capitalization,
underwriting, method OF distribu-
ton, and the like. We believe that
this arrangement will in the main
meet the suggestions advanced by
the American Mining Congress and
at the same time permit the unifor-
nifty of treatment which is essential
to an administration consistent
with the purpose of the Securities
Act. In addition, l may say that
the Commission hopes within a
short time to complete the revision
of certain of it's forms and regula-
tions, including those affecting the
smaller mining issues. The objec-
tive is to promote as much simpli-
fication of procedure in this class !
of cases as is possible. consistent ,
with the public interest.
