WILLARD FIRES TOM j
AND JACK CURLEY
BY Mark Shields


Jess Willard has deposed his man.
ageriaI duet, Tom Jones and Jack
Curley, intimates he is through with
the fight game and from now on will
devote all his energy and mentality
to directing his newly-acquired cir
Gus property
Jess says the two managers could
not get him enough work So they
Immediately went out and signed up
for fights which would bring $780,
600 into the Golfers Of the syndicate
to prove they were real business
men. They will use this as an argu-
ment to prevent the contract they
hold with Willard being broken. It
does not expire until September, &C
cOrding to Curley.
This is another case Of go it bear,
go it man" and the general public
doesn't give three boots which side
wins. If both were in a position to
lose there might be general roofing
for such an outcome. The COmbi-
nation never has been popular and
never would be.
Since winning the heavyweight
title two years ago Willard has
fought one ten-rOUnd battle in New
York against Frank Moran. That is
all the defense he has made of his
title. His friends may argue that
there was no man capable of beating
him, but surprises are apt to occur
in the prize ring.
When John L. Sullivan was cham
pion there was also a belief that no
one could trim him, but John L. was
not afraid to defend his crown, and
Jim COrbett knocked it off and sur
prised the world. Possibly some low
ly regarded mauler might have done
the same thing for Willard-if Jess
and his hackers had presented the
opportunity.

Generalization Of Army
Has Delayed Peace

Petrograd, Oct. 25.-Peace by Christ
mas would have been won by Russia il
not for the Generalization of her army
Premier Kerensky told the preliminary
parliament today.
''If unconscious fanatics, assisted by
conscious traitors,' said the premier,
chad not destroyed the fruits of dem
ocracy IS military efforts, we would have
had an honorable peace by Christmas "
General Alexieff, former commander
in-chief of the Russian armies, told the
parliament that Russia was passing
through an extremely painful and diff
ficult period because the nation S spirit
is overwhelmed by the deadly idea that
Russia is incapable of continuing the
war. The army could not depend upon
the rear to enable it to become a strong,
force"
Kerenslky protested against the later
statement.

authorities He answered the descrIp
tion closely, but didn t happen to be
the man. However, he had been an in
mate of the jail here several weeks
ago, arrested for begging and vagran-
ley. He was let out and t6s& to hike,
which he did for a feS miles, living
off the generosity of the country wo-
wen.
There is a murderer wanted by the
Seattle police, man who murdered Il
young woman and it is thought he
might be working down this way, liv
ing off the country folks.
The suggestion has been made that
the old time occupation of profession
al tramp is new in the discard and
that country women snould show ar-
plicants for pie and real food TO the
wood pile and then telephone police
headquarters. 1t s an even guess tho

had held up the State bank of Edison
fatally wounded Matt Halloran, chair

tured unwounded.
The holdup occurred when the Spur

band to surrender. While they were
gathering up money, Halloran, who has
an insurance office in the rear Of the

and emerging through the abdomen.
Physicians say Halloran cannot recov-

Labor Representatives
Present Demand for
Closed Shop Principle

San Francisco, Oct. 25.-Abolition of
pieee-work by employers, adoption of
the closed shop, as am answer to the
scarcity of workers, and the use of the
family budget as a measure of the high
cost of living instead of just the in
creases III food prices, were advocated
by labor representatives today in the
United States wage adjustment board 5
hearing today in its investigation of
shipbullding conditions Oh San Francis
co bay.
That scarcity of labor, which is
holding up shipbuilding, exists at this
time, was the declaration of Andrew
Moore of the Moore & Scott shipyards,
Oakland. Moore was called as witness
for the employers. He declared labor
had become so scarce that he had had
to advertise extensively.
He blamed this condition to the ten
dency of many workers to migrate. He
said as many as forty men sometimes
quit in one day. The firm had made
a rule, he said, to allow no man to
quit his job to return to the plant be
fore 80 days.
R. w. Burton of the Iron Trades
Council, in examining the witness, con
tended that the thirty day rule would
have the effect of keeping men away
from Moore S plant.
eff there were closed shop condi-
tions, he said, "thsfe would be more
men,.
Moore discussed piece-work and de-
clared the average wage earned by
pieceworkers is 1892 day. Pierre Fla
herty of the macbinists union said or
ganized labor opposes piecework because
it has a tendency to make men work
too hard and endanger their health.
