{TAKOUGH REUTER'S AGENCY,]
There was a fair attendance whea the third day of the Wimbledon meeting opened in fine weather. Everything went according to pro- gramme at the beginning, and the first real excitement occurred on the Centre Court when a thrilling battle between the British stylists, Bunny Austia and Pat Wheat- ley, went in favour of the younger man. This was quickly followed by the defeat of R. Lycett by the Australian farmer, Moon, on one of the side courts.

MAN WHO FINDS JOBS.
SOUTHWARK
SOCIALISTS
ORDER HIM TO STOP.
Mr. Albert Bodkin, a porter, em- ployed by the Socialist Guardians At Southwark, S.E.. who is said to have found work for about 30 men in the last uine months, has been
ordered to cense his activities.
Mrs. A. M. Knight, one of the guardians who objects to the order, said to a reporter:
One complaint against him is that he sent men after jobs with notes which he had written on official notepaper.
Another is that men and women he has tried to assist spent money on fates and then found that the jobs had been filled. We have all ex perienced that, and I think he is deserving of encouragement. ‚'
Mr. Bodkin's work first came in- to prominence last January, when, as reported in the Daily Mail, the local branch of the Unemployed League of ex-Service men took ex- ception to his work.
Some of the Socialist members of the board have objected to his ae- tivities on various grounds. Other guardinas, and also, it is under stood, some of the aficials, have supported the man in his efforts.
