United States of strikes and threaten
ed strikes in the last eight months, as
serts Stephen c. Mason, president of

ment shall remain in effect until such
time as President Wilson shall declare
the period of REIMBURSEMENT in indust-
rial relations passed The plan IS des-
ignated for possible adoption at the

CAME BACK FOR MORE

When Willard went down the first time he was dazed and hurt. But he got to his feet, was pounded down again, came up, met another fusillade of blows, and toppled a third time. His right eye was closed his left was injured; his mouth was gashed by the Dempsey blows. Blood fighter then But he came back for more, and still more.
 When the first round ended with Will lard on the floor, battered wreck of a man, it didn't seem humanly possible that he ever could' assume an upright position for another half hour. Yet when the bell rang he was back in the center of the ring, fighting.
 One punch after another rattled against Wilard's head and body, but he wouldn't quit He must have realized then that he was fighting a hopeless battle there wasn't chance in the world for him to emerge triumphant. If there had been a drop of quitter blood in Willard's 8 veins he undou btedly would have taken one of those punches, dropped to the floor and stayed there until counted out.
 But Willard wasn't of that type. He fought on as best he could in his crip- pied and frightful condition. He wealth red the round as by a seeming miracle and staggered back to his corner. A minute later Willard answered the third bell for further smashing from the mer- ciless hands of Dempsey. All hope for victory was gone, utterly.S But Willard wouldn't quit. Fighting instinct was too strong within him. Gameness and cour- age urged him on. He kept to his feet,

tried to fight off the mighty Dempsey, but his feeble efforts were futile.
 IT that wasn't courage, if that wasn't gameness, what are courage and game ness?
 Willard was pitiful spectacle as he groped for his corner With his face smashed, his body quivering with pain, and his legs webbing under him in crazy fashion, he found the location of his chair, lunged for it, fell in-and then collapsed.
 I do not know whether Willard in- structed his seconds to toss the towel into the ring. The story which comes to me, and which seems to be authentic. is that his seconds looked him over, asked him how he felt and drew no CO., herent answer. It was babble They knew then that Willard was through that temporarily he had collapsed, both physically and mentally; that his brain and body had been deadened by the ex- cruciatng agonies. Then they did the sensible thing, they tossed in the towel.
 DIDN'T RECOGNIZE DEMPSEY
 Just how completely Willard was gone is shown by the fact that for nearly four minutes after the fight was over he sat in his chair almost without moving, Even when Dempsey came over to talk to him the fallen champion was so far gone that he didn't recognize Dempsey.
 Even as Dempsey walked away. WiI- lard's head, earlier slmnped on his blood. covered chest, began to wobble craziIy. Nausea was coming on as the aftermath of the awful body smashing. Willard, in a half conscious way, tried to shift his head, but the power had gone from his neck muscles. His seconds had to move his head and lower it so it would be in an easier position. And when low cred, the Willard head swung back and forth like a pendulum
 Willard quit in a technical sense. bu': Willard was not a quitter. I have seen all the game ones for nearly 40 years, but none gamer than Jess Willard
