f LAST MIX FROM

I Ten Thousand Persons. Includ

Selby, Witness Big Fight
at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Nov. 6. I'ete Her
man of New Orleans, world's bantam
weight champion, was awarded a de
cision by Referee Goldman over
Frankie Burns of Jersey City, here
last nigh at the end of a 20-round
bout.
It was Herman's fight all the way
and in the opinion of many ringside
authorities it was only Burns' ability
to stand punishment and his ring gen
eralship that saved him from being
knocked out.
Herman was credited with 13
rounds, Burns four and three wev-e
even. ,
Burns led the fighting in the early
rounds, taking the offensive and ap
parently seeking to bring the fight to
a quick close by the knockout route.
After the 10th, however, he tired and
with the exception cjf a rally in the
14th was as good as out of it. In
rounds five, eight, 12, IS, and 18, Her
man started furious offensive tactics,
chasing his opponent around the ring
and raining blows on his ribs ana
f face. He seemed to have everything
t but a knockout blow. Burns' other
rounds were the fourth, seventh and
10th. He delivered several hard body
blows in the seventh that seemed to
5 bother Herman considerably.
;.' Burns Looks Shaky.
t, In the 18th round it looked as
S though Burns would be unable to stay
the limit.' The bell found him groggy
1 : and weakening. The final round saw
: Herman apparently as fresh as when
he started. He rained right and left 1
?i jabs on his opponent and a knockout
I seemed certain just before the final

A crowd estimated at about. 10,000
persons, including several hundred
joldiers from Camp Shelby, Miss.,
witnessed the fight.
The betting ranged from 9 to 5,
t . Sefore the fight started, to 7 to 5
luring the early rounds, with Herman

(Uf Associated Press.)
London, lov. 6. An appalling
story of cold blooded massacres by
Germans of crews of British North
Sea convoys in a recent battle is told
by the Norwegian newspapers.
The Tidenstegn said the German
cruisers were observed at 6 o'clock
in the morning and were thought to
be British vessels, but at 7 o'clock,
when there was more light, they sud
denly began shooting and the convoy
was terrified to see the British de
stroyer at" the stern of the convoy
begin to sink, although it fought to
the ei?d. . The German cruisers? after
signalling the vessels to stop, ad
vanced on each side ot the convoy,
which they swept with all their guns
at a range of less than 200 yards.
Death and Destruction.
The German destroyers came up
and helped to spread death and de
struction on the defenseless ships,
shells falling thick and fast. The Ger
mans were not content to sink the
ships, but shelled the life boats, and
every living thing coming their way
was mercilessly slaughtered. The sur
vivors owed their lives to the high
sea which was running, making the
boats a difficult mark. ,
In the midst of the massacre, an
other British destroyer came up and
immediately attacked, but soon was
sunk in the unequal struggle. The
German flotilla then truiscd backward
and forward along the sinking steam
ers, pouring a fresh and terrible rain
of shells at a range of 100 yards. One
shell went through the Swedish ship
Wirndar, exploding in the life boat
on the other side and killing all its
occupants, 12 men and three women.
Girls Jump Overboard.
The other life boat rowed back to
rescue the captain and two waitresses
from the wreclV A shell struck the
boat arid killed five of its occupants,
only the mate escaping by swimming.
The Wirndar was a mass of flames
and the two girls jumped into the sea;
The captain was saved by clinging to
wreckage. As the two young women
were sinking, an English ship hoisted
the white flag. The answer from the
Germans was a shot which killed both
girls. Twelve mn of another shin
had just got into the life boat when a
shell killed them all:

Penn Fodrea, W. L. Burgess, R. L.
Wilder and W. Monahan, leading
Omaha manufacturers, escaped with
their lives fr6m a meeting of the poli
tical and social seience department
of the Omaha Woman's club Monday.
But that's all!
They came before the women to ar
gue In behalf of the repeal of the
nine-hour-day for women. Their
words brought a spirited response.
Verbal shrapnel scattered at tirrfes be
sides. The women are all up in arms
against Mr. Fodrea.
He called women of 40 or 50 years
of age, "old"! Yes, "old"! And nine
out of every ten women in his audi
ence were past the two-score milcl
stone.
Do you wonder he escaped with his
life?
Two weeks ago, following a talk
made by T. V. Reynolds of the state
federation of labor, the department
took a stand in opposition to letting
down the bars on the nine-hour-day
for women, an action urged by local
manufacturers to the State Council of
Defense. When this was published.
W. L. Burgess of the Omaha Manu
facturers' association wrote to the
leader, Mrs. Benjamin S. Baker, ask
ing for a hearing. This was granted.
Shortage of Labor.
The shortage of female labor makes
it necessary for women to work over
time in order. that biscuit manufac
turers, for instance, may fill their or
ders, Mr. rodrea, of the Iten Biscuit
company, spokesman of the party,
pointed out. "Even the government
is no longer working on an eight-hour
basis," he said. "The nine-hour law is
class legislation. If it were attacked
in the courts, it would be declared un
constitutional. The law is all right in
normal times but is hard to keep dur
ing war times."
R. L. Wilder of tke Loose-Wiles
Biscuit company conceded the nine
hour law had worked well and re
sulted in a higher degree of efficiency,
on a query put by Mrs. D.,G. Craighead.
"If that is so, why did the manufac
turers oppose the passage of the nine
hour law several years ago?" asked
Mrs. Craighead, who is chairman of
the legislative department.
Oh. we fought that on the trrounds
of practical politics. We saw the

our way of doing. We put up a semb
lance of a fight so that we might be
met half-way and sort of compro
mise on the law," Mr. Fodrea replied.
Mr. Fodrea declared the manufac
turers were as hard-pressed a set of
people as the working girl was made
out to be. "We can't even agree
among ourselves to abate some evil
in industry but what we are accused
of combining in restraint of trade
and branded as criminals," he said.
Want Extra Pay
"Ninety per cent of the women em
ployed, in our factories are willing to
work overtime. They want to make
extra pay," said Mr. Fodrea.
"There's a good reason why. They
only make $7 per week," murmured
one listener.
Mr. Fodrea said this was the mini
mum paid untrained women. Until
five months ago, it was $6.
"Many housewives work nine hours
a day and then spend time after that
in Red Cross work," continued he.
"Wouldn't a woman serve her coun
try and help the nation just as much
by working a few hours overtime in
the same place where she is working
all day, rather than knit herself half
blind after the day's work is done?"
was the thought advanced by the bis
cuit factory man. "Besides they could
afford t6 contribute a little something
to war funds by extra money they
made."
"It's a poor housewife who can't do
her work in less thaji nine hours," re
torted Mrs. Craighead.
Defends Knitters.
"And knitting is not so hard, a wo
man sits when she knjts and further
more it's a change in work, which is
beneficial," defended Mrs. William
Archibald Smith of the National Ser
vice league which is issuing a call for
knitters.
Parisians Would Name
A Street for Wilson
Paris, Nov. 6. The Seine federa
tion of the radical socialist party to
day asked its representatives in the
Paris municipal council to propose
naming a street in the capital after
President Wilson.
"One girl told me she wanted to
make extra money with which to buy
Christmas presents," one of the other
manufacturers said.
But the clubwomen took no further
action. As the minutes now stand,
the department is still for the sus
tainment of the nine-hour law.
Preceding the speeches of the busi
ness men, Dr. Jennie Callfas of the
State Council of Defense, talked on
the conservation of girls.
"You can't expect girls to be good
on $7 a week when they haven't any
thing to be good with. After a girl
pays $2 a week for the poorest kind of
room, she can't buy enough good
food, clothe herself and pay her laun
dry on the remainder. Many em
ployers even right here in Omaha
keep wages low purposely in order to
force girls to accept financial help
from them," said Dr. Callfas.
Dr. Callfas advocates a home or
club for working girls, at a cost of
$100,000. The first funds for the new
building will be raised November 19
when the Brandeis theater manage
ment will turn over their proceeds for
the night's performance.
Mr. Burgess of the manufacturers'
committee assured the clubwomen he
was -much interested in their project
to build a club for working girls. "The
business men of Omaha will always
help you in any manner they can
and will stand behind this project,"
he said.
