Kaufman, at San Francisco, outpointed W. Lang in six rounds in the open air, last evening. Lang was never able to evade Kaufman's straight lefts to the face and often held on to avoid a punishing. He was very tired at the end of the fifth and sixth rounds from successive lefts and rights on the face and head. Lang missed numerous leads, and when he landed blows they lacked steam. In the fourth round Kaufman cut a nasty gash in Lang's forehead and then landed hard on his right jaw, distressing the Australian, who clinched and held on. In the fifth and sixth rounds Kaufman severely punished Lang, again staggering him with a right to the head and forcing him to clinch. Throughout much wrestling was indulged in. There were ten thousand spectators to witness the fight, which did not demonstrate that either Lang or Kaufman were worthy opponents of Johnson. Received September 6, 9.30 p m. Only in the second round did Lang show to advantage. From this to the close Kaufman had his own way. a spectacular exhibition it was disappointing. Time and again Lang led with his left with a rush to clinch, the referee forcing them apart. In the fifth round Kaufman drove Lang to the ropes in distress. In the sixth round Kaufman rushed Lang round the ring, but was unable to knoclc him out. Kaufman was not marked, but Lang'a face was swollen and cut. Kaufman won on points. BOILERMAKERS' LOCK-OUT. EXECUTIVE'S ACTION. London, Monday. Twenty-five thousand boilermakers and 15,000 platers and rivet-heaters are locked-out in the North of England and Scotland. Received September 7, 12.15 a.m. London, Last Night. The Executive of the Boilermakers' Society has published an announcement that a ballot is generally approved. It is writing to the Society's branches. The Executive states that the lock-out is directly attributed to small bodies of members taking the law into their own hands, which entails many hardships on the bulk of the members. It is undeniable that members have genuine grievances in most cases, but constitutional methods must be used. OSBORNE EXPELLED. RAILWAY SERVANTS' ACTION. London, Last Night. Osborne, in a letter to the newspapers, said the action of the Society of Railway Servants in expelling him and closing the Walthamstow branch, amounts to a declaration that members have no legal claim to the security of i benefits. The Socialists have jockeyed j themselves into a majority of the i official positions, and were now able to ; confiscate their opponents' contribu- j tions for years. The trade unions ; must be legalised in giving the secur- j ity to members which Friendly Socie- ! ties enjoy. j MOTOR-CAR MILE RECORD. j Received September 6, 9.30 p.m. I New York, Yesterday. Oldfield, on a 200-horsepower Beauz automobile, smashed the world's mile record by 4 seconds. j FEDERAL CENTRALISATION OF POWER. New York, Yesterday.

REMARKABLE SPEECHES. j London, Last Night, j Several sectional stirkes in South i Wales are attributed to the extreme | Socialists. | Hartshorn, the defeated candidate i for Mid - Glamorgan, speaking at | Maesteg Theyve, said one of the bigj zest industrial upheavals of the age was looming in the distance. Labour leaders had not yet developed their plans, which workmen ought not to anticipate by premature action. No one imagined the recent five years' agreement would last that period. Nevertheless, national stoppage of work ought not to be undertaken except for something worth having, such as the nationalisation of mines. Mr Winston, a member of the Federation Executive, in a speech at Pontypool, welcomed the state of unrest, and defended the increase of subscriptions to enable them to come to 1 grips with the employers. THE GOLDEN CALF. THE MICROBE OF RICHES. Ottawa, Yesterday. | Father Bernard Vaughan, preaching ; at Montreal, uttered a strong denunciatoin of the worship of the golden calf. !
