VALLEY CITY FARMERS
REJECT LEAGUES PLAN

Valley iCty, n. d., July l4.--The
leagues proposal to contract with the
Agricultural Workers. union, an aux
iliary of the |. w. w., for supply
of farm labor for North Dakota was
unanimously rejected by $50 dele
gates, representing the farmers of
this section of the state, in a ratifica-
ton meeting addressed Thursday af-
ternoon by President A. G.. Townley,
whose ideas are embodied in the pro-
posed agreement.
In his plea for the ratification Of
the proposed contract, President
Townley, in typical manner, paid
his respects to the press, which, he
declared, has misrepresented condi-
tons of the agreement. 1t was ex-
planned that the contract does not
seek to establish closed shop, nor
to prevent the farmer from employ
ing his sons or local labor which is
not affiliated with the union.
At the close of the several explana-
tions made, the farmers, without a
dissenting vote, rejected the plan in
toto. .s-~. ses,e c.-.r-, -..- z-,sz,~ g.r,.

The eyes of the boxing world ar,
centered Non the meeting between thu
lightweight champion and the feather
weight Champion
| Benny Leonard, who SO recently
! won his crown at the expense OF
Freddy Welsh, may he Stacker in
that he did not join the army as he
had promised, but when it comes to
the ring game he is no Stacker, as
he is taking on the most dangerous
fighter in the world when he meets
Johnny lKilbane, undisputed king of
all the featherweights
In one way Leonard is not risking
much, as he meets <ilDane in Phila
delphia over the siX-round route.
There is not one chance in a million
that Kilbane or any other fighter in
the 133-pound class can stop Leonard
in that length of time.
SO far as Kilbane is concerned he
is not risking much. Even should
Leonard stop him he would not forfeit
his featherweight crown.
From financial standpoint it is
going to be pretty soft for both of the
boys Twenty thousand dollars is the
purse offered, to be evenly divided.
Figure it Out-$1O 1000 for Is min
utes fighting; a matter OF $3.50 min
ute each.
The main interest in the bout will
center around Leonard's agility in the
ring with such an opponent as Kill
bane. True, they have not before, but
at that time Leonard was merely a
nobody in ring circles-just one of the
many 1O.round scrappers picking up a
living around New York. kilbane
didn't take Leonard seriously at that
time, and did not exert himself par
ticularly.
1t is an entirely different PROPOSE
ton now. Kilbanes great ambition
is to hold both the featherweight and
lightweight titles. He thought he had
this opportunity within his grasp
| when Welsh was champion, and there
is little doubt that he would have
| stopped Freddie over the Is or 90
round route, had not Leonard beat
him to it.
kilbane realizes as much as any
body else in the world that he has a
much more difficult task on his hands
! against Leonard than he would have
! had against Welsh, but Kilbane is
crafty and he will not let an Oppor-
tunity slip when he meets the New
York Hebrew
And Leonard is not disilusioned.
He knows just how dangerous Kill
bane is and knows just how valuable
the lightweight title is. For that rea-
%oH he is not going to give kilbane
, this opportunity, if it is humanity with
in his power to avoid doing so.
