BARNEY OLDFIELD
Under ARREST
[By Associated Press ]

! PORTLAND, July 4.-Barney Old
field, the automobile racer, was
placed under arrest on a warrant is
sued for e. A. Moross, Oldfeld's
business manager, charging him with
money under false pre-
lenses. The warrant was. issued at
the instance of the Evening Tele-
gram in what that paper believes is
in the interest of clean sport and as
an outgrowth of yesterdays automo-
bile contests in this city. Oldfield
was released on $500 bail Moross
is on his way to Butte, Montana.
The race meet yesterday was a COM
plete fizzle There were few entries
and heavy showers IN the. middle of
the meet left the track sea of mud,
rendering further racing impossible
The information filed by the Tele-
gram is general in its accusation. In
this afternoon issue of the paper,
it prints charges that Oldfeld and
his manager used the name of local
automobile club for the purpose of
gaining prestige. This use was with
out the sanction of the club; that
promoters of the race meet offered a
card of races when they had no en-
tries listed intended to participate
in the general meet, was fake. Ac-
cording to the best information OBJ
tainable the difficulty lies with the
local automobile dealers who, it is
stated, were behind the meet. They
claim intense rivalry since the first
races which has developed into bit
ter animosity. Dealers who were
ready at first to enter their machines
at the last minute withdrew. Moross
and Oldfield apparently made every
effort to make yesterdays races 8
success, evidently under the belize
that it was Oldfeld's performanc,
rather than events of the local con
testants that visitors came to see.

Fight A DRAW
[By Associated Press.1

MARYSvILLE, July 4.-The
championship welterweight fight be-
tween Joe Thomas. champion, and
George Ketchell, was declared a
draw at the end of twenty rounds.
1t was a fierce fight from start to
finish. Ketchell had Thomas all but
out in the eleventh round when he
twice floored him Two timekeepers
mixed things over the time OF the
round at this juncture. Timekeeper
Lohne claiming Thomas timekeeper
caused him to ring the gong too soon
as Ketchell was beating him at will.
Several other rounds clearly belong
ed to Ketchell and he remained
strong and dangerous to the end of
the last round. Ketchell is the hard
est man Thomas ever tackled. The
champions manager, Foley, says
Thomas injured his hand and Ref
cree Smith said the contest was one
of the best welterweight fights he
ever witnessed and Thomas was saw
ed from defeat by class alone,

him flush upon the jaw, but it did
not have enough force to give
Squires his quietus. After taking a
count OF four he arose in a wobbly !
fashion and rushed at Burns and the |
two came into a clinch. They were /
quickly separated by Jim Jeffries,
THE referee, and Burns lost no time
in following up the advantage he
gained so early. Out shot his dan
gerous right again and the second
time Squires was on the canvas with
Jeffries counting, but the end was
not yet, for the Australian rose
slowly and weakly, but had little de-
Tense left. A terrific right to the jaw
had accomplished the result Burns
Handed where and when he pleased
and in few seconds, under a rain of
blows, the arms of Squires dropped
in helpless fashion by his side.
Then the finish came. Burns delib
erately selected his mark and with
all the power lodged in his should
ers sent his right to the point of the
| jaw 1t seemed almost needless for
Jeffries to go through the formality
of counting the man out. There was
not a spectator that did not realize
the fight was over and a rush was
made for the ring to congratulate the
victor. The fight lasted two minutes
and eight seconds. The fight proved
nothing more than that Squires was
muchly oyer-estimated man. Burns
while demonstrating his immeasur-
able superiority over the Australian,
) did not have an opportunity to dem
onstrate whether or not he is actual
ly entitled to the high pugilistic title
that has been bestowed upon him.
: After the fight Squires said he had
been led to believe Burns was not a
"knocker out" H. had been told
that Burns did not possess the
strength to put man to sleep witt
a few blows. This belief made hin
careless at the beginning of the con
test and resulted in the early blow
to the jaw which dazed him.

HAS WON
Its Way Through Energy, Per-
sistence and Courage.
Has Built a Confidence that Can
not be Destroyed by Any
Outside Agency.

Taking the labor situation in our
country today, two aspects of it
are readily diSccrnable even to an
unframed mind. These are the
''awakening of the toilers" and
s'the awakening Of employers"
The is no person today who can
combat the fact that all the rest
lessness of the toiling masses
though attributed by certain
capitalists to this and that influence
is really due to the rapacity for
money getting of these self-same
capitalists, and their refusal to re-
cipocate with the men who are
making the money for them.
The employees see the Golfers of
the employers constantly and in
ordinately replenished with more
money, cost of living advanced by
trusts and combinations of capital
and nothing left for the workers in
factory, mine and shop but rush
hurry and tension, with no visible
increase in pay.
The workers have for some time
realized that there is only one
avenue open to them for relief, and
that is to join the union, and SO
thousands are added to the ranks
every year.
This marvellous and rapid growth
of union membership has alarmed
both large and small employers of
| labor. Many of the most intel1i-
gent and progressive employers of
labor say that ''labor unions must
be recognized. That they have
created new order of things
have come to stay,-are of good re-
port, and necessary and useful
factors in our complex civilization
Other capitalists are 50 selfish,
greedy narrow minded and un-
philosophic, that a mere suggestion
of unionism arouSeS them to ex-
pressions of blasphemy against
God and man. The more iniquit-
Gus, cold -blooded and unfeeling
they are, the more obstinate is
their opposition and the more dis
gusting their blaSphemy.
The fitticSt Will survive We
emphasize these words The
workers are learning to use their
God given intelligence, which is an
inheritance they cannot be deprlv
ed of; and have inscribed upon
