C, and Herman Olsen, of Port land, both well known In wrestling circles. The curtain raiser was scheduled to find Jack Cox, 195-pound Union grappler, facing Kernen Houde, 105, of Enterprise, but there was some possibility that Houde's spot on the card may be replaced with some other matman.

Don't It look like there ought to be Borne civilized way of finding out what the employee and employer owed to each other? The latest papers say that "It's up to the president now." Is there anything difficult under the sun that's not put up to that man?
