NULLIFlED THE CONSTITUTION

1t was only by notification of the
constitution that the supreme court
Of the United States arrived at it's
decision that labor union may be
deprived of the right of free speech
and free publication. It was only by
stretching the Sherman antitrust law
away from the intent Of congress-"
the law-making body, that it arrived
at it's decision that the United Hat
tiers Of North America-and therefore
every labor union--is "a combination
in restraint of trade. -
Not the rights Of labor unions, but
the rights Of American citizens, are
endangered by injunctions against
free speech and free publication; and
that injunction is not based upon law,
but is piece of judicial usurpation.--

this up into balls of about six pounds,

Expect Employers Will Soon
Break Away From Dominion

The tactics of the down town real

all citizens on the Heights. The time

all real estate men, who are now 50

1t is confidently reported here, that
many Of the employers are getting
very tired of being bossed around by
men whose interference is entirely

that in a few days they may assert
their independence and free them
selves from the conditions imposed
upon them by real estate sharks.

CANS WILLING TO
MEET JACK BLACKBURN

PHILADELPHIA, April 1I.-For some
time past Jack Blackburn has been voic-
ing his burning desire to meet Joe Cans,
and recently put up 500 with Manager
Michigan as an earnest of his willing
ness to meet the champion at 1913 pounds,
weigh in at o'clock. Evidently Cans has
wearied Of these challenges. as will be
seen by the following letter received last
night:
Sir: 1 have been informed by Manager
John J; McGuigan Of the National Ath-
letic Club of your city that Jack Black
burn has posted a forfeit of 500 to box
me at 1913 pounds at o'clock Now for
a year past Blackburn has been roasting
me and trying to belittle me in the eyes Of
my friends and the public generally. and
for no reason whatever. Now he wants
to box me and insists that the weight
shall be made at o'clock. That would
bring him into the ring weighing in the
neighborhood of 1877 or 1873 pounds. Why
should I favor 3 fellow like him. who is
never done roasting me and telling people
that 1 am afraid of him?
Now, / want to prove that Blackburn
Is not lightweight. which he Is claiming
to- be. I will make this proposition to
Blackburn: I will box him before the
National Athletic Club of your city If he
will agree to weigh In at 1913 pounds ring
felt Of not less than $500 for weight. If
he Is the lightweight that he claims to be
here is the chance for him to make good
his claim. II he thinks the distance-s.x
rounds-is too short. l will go longer
route with him. But I feel satisfied that
If he will make the lightweight limit six
rounds will be sufficient to determine the
question Of supremacy. Very respect

COMEDY BASE BALL
FOR POST OFFICE BOYS

Two base ball teams from the division
of supplies, Post ONCE Department met
on the Capital City grounds yesterday
afternoon and battled for the base ball
supremacy Of that division. For seven
long innings the contest lasted and the
victory was awarded to the team known
as the Fifth Floor" The Official score
was: Fifth Floor" runs, and the Bull
Gangs runs. The game was an inter-
esttng one and was spectacular from
start to finish.
The Fifth Floor" aggregation was cap
tanned by Dick Covert. the champion
long distance walker of the department.
He displayed his wonderful stride in the
fifth inning by pulling down a hot liner
and completing triple play. unassisted.
The several hundred spectators. were
amazed at the phenomenal playing of Co.
vert, and cheer after cheer greeted the
mighty athlete every time he stepped to
the plate.

In the third inning. A swift one off the
bat of Wilhelm caught his left foot, dam

BURNS MANAGER HERE
FOR BOUT WITH JOHNSON

NEW YORK, April 11.-Billy Neal,
manager of Tommy Burns. the worlds
champion heavyweight pugilist, arrived
here yesterday on board the Lusitania.
He brought with him 5000 in cash and a
glttering story of a 100000 purse for a
fight between Tommy Burns and Jack
johnson, the negro heavyweight. who has
repeatedly challenged the champion and
whose manager, Sam Fitzpatrick, has
posted 81, 500 to bind a match.
"Of course" said Neal. as he stepped
from the steamer and began to unfold his
plan, Burns is willing to fight Johnson,
but naturally Tommy wants a little bit
better of the matchmaking. There has
been much talk about what club mana
gers would offer for the fight. Now, the
proper thing to do would be to select some
big place, like the Queens Club In Lon
don. for instance
1.-The benches at this field will seat
10000 spectators and $1,000 more could
stand and see the fight just as plainly as
IL they were at the ringside. The usual
price Of admission to the seats is from
10 shillings up to f5. In a championship
fight, such as this one would be. we could
raise the price so that 1t would range
from 10 shillings to s10. and charge a
shilling or two for standing room. In this
way we could easily get a 100000 house. -
