Highest Court Directs That Inter- 5, national News Service Must Not
 Pirate News from Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The supreme court of the United States sustain ed today federal court decrees re- . straining tho International News Service from pirating news of the Associated Presss Five members of thn court, including Chief Justice Whlta( concurred in majority opin- ion delivered by Associate Justice Pitney, S1pholding the principle of a property right in news, and conl- plant of unfair competition and re- fusrng to interfere with injunctions specifically prohibiting the Interna- tlonal News Service for pirating by; brlbing employees of newspapers to furnish Associated Press news from publication, for transmission to the defendants clients.
 Inducing Associated Press members to violate it's ioy laws by permitting the defendant to obtain news before publication and
 Ky copying news from bulletin boards and from early editions Of Associated Press newspapers and selling it either bodily or after re- writing.
 Two minority opinions were delIv- cred. Associate Justice Brandeis dis earned news matter bN competitor was obvious, the defendant had act ed without misrepresentation and he regarded the majority opinon as laying down dangerous opinion which might result in the denial to a great number of people of news that on1y the Associated Press secures. He suggested that there should bn 1egis. latloal to protect the public rights.
 Associate Justice Holmes deuvered brief opinion in which he announced that Associate Justice McKenna join ed holding that fraud on the part of the defendant in the palmimg off the eOmplainants news as it's own, con and that without legislation the only remedy to be supplied was to grant an injunction re- quiring the lnt3 national News to credit to the Associated Press all pi- rated news used within certain num- Der of hours after publication by the Associated Press papers.
 ''1t is a question of how strong an infusion of fraud is necessary to turn a flavor into poison." said Justice Holmes. "The dose seems to me to be strong enough here to need a reme- dy from the law"
 With Grief Justice White. Associ- ate Justice McReynolds joined in the majority opinion delivered by Asso- ciated Justice Pitney. It was an nounced Justice Clark, newspaper owner since long before he went on the bench, had taken no part in the case.
 The court not only sustained the contentious of the complaint, but found nothing ill the proceedings to prove the International News Ser vice charge that the Associated Press entered the case with "Unclean hands," through having been guilty of the same practices admitted by the defendant.
 Revealing the great task of gath ering and distributing news--the cost to the Associated Press amounting to approximately $3,500,0G0 annually, as- sessed against it's members, ana 6 part of their cost of operation-the

"Tha Battle of Bruges..

It was seventy-nine years ago today that Jem Smith, the last of the Eng fish heavyWeights to hold the title un- der London prize ring rules, defended his honors against Sydney Cornstalk, an Australian, known to the ring as Paddy Slavin. The fight was pulled off at Bruges, Belgium, and it was with bare knuckles, for $2,500 a side and the British championship. The big Australian had all the best of the argument, for Smith, although good man, had become slow and muscle bound. When it was seen that their man was doomed to defeat the packers of Smith rushed the ring, and SlaVln was struck several times with a club. The referee called it draw, fourteen rounds having been fought but even- tually after scandal that gave prize fighting it's knockout in England, Sla- win was awarded the title and the coin. He defended his honors against Peter Jackson, the great negro boxer, in a $10,000 bout before the National Sporting Club in London in 1892, and was knocked out. ,,

 RECALLED BY GRAVY
Sporting Events Retold; lightweight Championship Originated Fifty Years Ago.

One of the veterans who attended the recent gathering of the National League at New York waa Jack Lynch, who was famous as the pitcher of tn, champion Metropolitans if 1884. Lynch is siXty-four years old, but still keeps in fine physical condition Incidentally he can boast of a pitching record which was established forty JsArs ago. He was then with the New Bed ford club, managed by Frank Bancroft. 1t was in 1897 that he pitched three games in one day. The first game be- gan at eight o'clock in the morning at New BerfOrd, the second started at eleven o'clock in Taunton and the third was played in Providence at three in the afternoon. The first two games were nine innings each, but the third lasted for fifteen innings Lynch won all of his games and felt strong enough to pitch another, if that had been required.
 Friends of Mike O'Dowd, the middle weight champion, who has been serv- ing on the western front for the past few months, are planning banquet in his honor to be held on Christmas night, if he is released from service. ODOWd saw service with the Fifty fifth Engineers and fought in several engagements on the battle front. f1ls manager, Paddy Mullins, ~i1l preside at the banquet.

why should we American women
be shielded and kept from doing work
that French and English have done. !"
This is the question being asked of
Miss Grace Parker who was sent to
Europe to investigate woman's war
work on the other side of the Atlant-
ic. Miss Parker points out that one
million English women are making
ammunition that several hundreds Of
thousands are working on the farm
that ten thousand are working in
France behind the firing line; that
10000 are acting as motor drivers !;
that within ten days of the declara-
ton of War sixty thousand nurses
were enlisted. At her meeting in
Dallas recently Miss Parker ques-
ton was applauded vehemently.
This was to be expected of southern
womanhood yet we would ask both
Miss Parker and the women of this
district to remember that difficult
ties of transportation and other pure
ly physical feature explain to quite
an extent the reason why American
women are not asked to do the same
kind of work as their Europeen sis
ters. There is work however into
which the women of the Southwest
can throw all those energies which
they would gladly extend in more
harduous and dangerous tasks they
can secure for the Government huge
over subscription to the Liberty
Loan, this will send food and ammu-
milton to our soldiers and to our AL
lies, will build ships, help to crush
Germany and so achieve the object
IF everv true American woman DO
the duty that rises clearly, definitely
before her and the same credit Will
be due as to the overalled dirt stain
ed sister on the side in the army OF
democracy, some must go cover The
Top" Some must engage IN the
prosaic work of mule driving some
must make ammunition, others again
must divide money, all are necessary
Do your part and you will share
equally in that glorious triumph
, which one day must be ours. Womer
of the Southwest we look to our mer

we look to you to double it.

AGENCY ID DIRECT PLACE
 OF EMPLOYMENT
President Asks Employers to Refrain From All Recruiting Moves-EmplOyers Are Now Competing For Men.

Washington, June 17.-All em- nloves engaged in war work were urged in statement by President Wilson tonight to refrain after Aug ust from recruiting unskilled labor in any manner, except through the United States labor employment ser vice recently organized by the depart ment of labor. The labor forces were called upon by the president ito re- spond loyalty as heretofore to any calls issued by this agency for volun- tarv enlistment in essential industry" The statement by the president was accompanied by letter written June 15 by Secretary of Labor Wilson, call ing attention to the forming of the employment service, pointed out the necessity for such a labor distributing body and detailing it's duties.
 "For more than year." the presi- dents statement said. "it has been our pride that not our armies and navies only, but our whole people is engaged in a righteous war. We have said repeatedly that industry plays as essential and honorable role in this great struggle as do our military ar maments. We all recognize the truth of this but we must also see it's ne- cessary application-namely that in- dustry, doing a vital task for the na- tion, must receive the support and as- sistance of the nation. We must re- cognize that it is natural demand almost right of any one serving his country, whether employer or em- ploye, to know his service is being used in the most effective manner possible. In the case of labor this wholesome desire has been not little thwarted owing to the changed condi- tions war has created in the labor market.
