Two hundred thousand ollars!
It's a lot of money even IN kopeks,
With dollars as elusive as they are IL
is hard to conceive Of a man catching
that many In the course OF twelve
months, especially when the man
wears boxing gloves. Yet that Is the
approximate amount that Benny Leon
ard, the lightweight champion, raked in
during 1919.
Leonard was the most active of all
the boxers, large or small. in this fer
tile land. He piled his trade with u
diligence and vigor never before dis
played by champion In any class. He
realized that the reign of champion
is not long at most and that title

Is good"
Leonard engaged in 20 bouts dur
ing the year. an average of bout al
most every two weeks. This Is exciu-
sive of the several benefit bouts he
boxed. According to his manager, Bill
ly Gibson. the total gate receipts for
these bouts amounted to approximately
$500, 900. If Leonard drew down $780,
900 as his share then he averaged
about 40 per cent Of the gate IN each
bout in which he took part. To at
tract a total of a half million dollars,
the gate receipts for each bout aver
aged $4,000 and Leonard averaged
$4,000 for every time he entered the
ring to do battle.
In eight Of Leonard's principal bouts
the yates totaled s201,o00. an average
OF $25.1s7.50 per bout. The remaining
is bouts drew $29s,500, an average OF
s17,55s. His eight biggest bouts, his

four coal companies, brokers and job
bers were indicted by the federal grand
Jury on the charge Of violating the
Lever law by selling coal at unreason-
ale profits.
This leads us to inquire what has be-

Virginia coal operators who agreed to
be good if District Attorney Walker
would not have them hailed into court L?
So far as we have been able to observe
they are gouging just as deep as they

1T looks as il the powerful Penn
sylvania Railroad system will make the
fight against the railroad workers
unions and resist the attempts Of the
unions to force the closed shop-or
complete domination by the labor or.
CARNATIONS upon the railroads and
other industries Of the country. II the
Pennsylvania wins its fight for the
open shop system, other railroads will
stand for the same principles. II this
great corporation fails, it is conceded
that it would be useless for other roads
to make the fight.
Recently the Pennsylvania dis
charged several thousand men from
its great shops in Altoona. among them
being many who were active in the
unions. When mutterings and therats
were heard, the company announced
that it was ready to abandon its shops
in Altoona il il could not manage it's
own business. and plans are said to be
in process Of formulation by which
the repair work as we'll as construction
work will be given over to the great
Baldwin shops in Philadelphia and
other private concerns. In a state
mcnt issued on TUESDAY ty the Pedn-
syl,ania Railroad Company, Vice
President Atterbury declares that tbs
union leaders are conducting q cam
paign for the closed shop not only on
the railroads, bu. upon all the in
dustiics OF the country. When this
shall have been accomplished the (,
one big union, all powerful. will be
formed, and the naturalization OF the
railroads and other great industries
will be forced, and control OF them
vested in the labor organization. Cen
eral Atterbury intimates that his COM
pany will resist this attempt, and it is
believed that it is ready to !oin the ls-
sue whenever the unions show their
hand.

WE are disappointed to learn that
after all we are not soon to have any
OF that beneficial legislation so freely
promised us during the recent cam
pHgn. Republican leaders now say
that there will be no time at the COM
ir4 session of Congress for anything
more than the passage of the necessary
appropriation bills and that other
MEASURES will have to wait until late
next year.
This Is truly trying. but even with
the appropriation bills a good deal of
repef can be afforded if billion or
two of useless expenditures can be lop-
pea off.

from Camp Sherman, issued procla-
nation in which he forbade public as
sembly, except such meetings as might
be held in regularly organized church.
eS. Copnel Halls proclamation pro-
hioited also paradeS or demonstrations
against the authorities and stipulated
that no persons other than officers of
the law and the military would be per-
mltted to carry firearms or be in pos
session of explosives. All places of
business, shops and theatres were per-
united TO remain open, it was Stipu-
lated, but the people generally were
admonshed TO comply carefully with
the military regulations and the pre-
serve good order.
Governor Cornwells proclamation
stated that Mingo county was in a
state OF inSurrection and the citizens
were enloined and commanded 70 dis
perSe and retire to their homes and
submit 10 the law and the regularly
constituted authorities.
ITO The end that the law shall be re-
Spected and that disorder shall cease,
