JACK DEMPSEY
FACES BARRAGE
Worlds Heavy Weight Champion
Accused of Being Stacker During
War, While Other Puat

JBy Henry L. Farrell, United Press

NEW YORK jan 15.-Jack Demp
sey is facing his barrage.
The worlds heavyweight cham.
pion who went to the ship yards when
Mike ODowd, Augie Rather, Bob
Martin, Gene Tunney, Pal Moore, Joe
Lynch and Johnny Aver put On the
khaki, is now under a bombardment
of fire that is almost as harrassing as
the high explosive, shrapnel and me-
chine gun bullets that some of the
ring heroes faced in the trenches
He carries the title Of the worlds
greatest fighter and he IS being
tried" now for turning a deaf ear
TO Uncle Sam when he called for
fighters.
The first shot was fired at Dempsey
by the Denver post Of the American
Legion. Resolutions condemning him
as a Stacker and closing the doors
Of Colorado TO him were passed last
week
The attack was taken in other sec
lions when the post in Fort Wayne
followed suit without official action,
LEGION members in New Jersey voiced
their feelings and the state boxing
commission announced decision
barring Dempsey from nghting or
exhibiting in the state.
What the result will be before this
IcontagTon ends is impossible TO fore
cast.
So far national officers of the legion
are not considering taking any action
according 10 G.. II. Rennick, assistat
adjutant general. Every American
sportsman believes in fair play. Every
| American soldier and every member
| of the American Legion should be
| lieve in fair play. Dempsey should
| be heard before action Is taken that
will blot his record for all time and
eventually drive him out OF the coun.

! There IS another reason. especially
for the former soldiers to avoid hasty
action in asking their respective com
munities to lock the doors against
the Dempsey Carpenter fight.

The interest on the money borrowed
from us Is staggering sum and until
the industries of Europe can be re-
habilitated and the flow of goods
swelled to normal volume, healthy
international commerce will not De
restored.
Instead OF further government
credits, our industries may well fac1ll-
tate credits to foreign buyers. This
will enable the foreign demand TO con-
tinue. Also an investment on the part
of the people of this country IN the
soundest securities OF our friends
across the sea would build up a solid
foundation for foreign exchange and
be beneficial to all parties.
Capital, labor and the farmer reap
ed a harvest out of the war. True,
the harvest has been somewhat I'M
evenly distributed, but it has been
harvest. The end OF every harvest
is bound to come TO that. While II is
still with us it Is no time for labor
to strike for higher wages. It is no
time for capital to strike for greater
dividends. 1t is the time for work and
save.
"The artificial price structure must
come down. Over stimulated wages,

The caucus first voted to permit
Carter Glass, the new senator from
Virginia, TO vote, but later this action
was reversed.
Had Glass been permitted to vote,
Underwood would have won by one
vote. Glass has not yet taken his
seat in the senate, although his Gre
Identials have been presented.
The Underwood forces cited prece-
dents for letting Glass vote, but in
the end the caucus refused to allow
this.
The caucus lasted two hours and
from the first developed into = bitter
fight, with Glass and his vote the
storm center.
There were many speeches. Sena-
tor Reed described II as one OF the
bitterest fights he ever saw.
Underwood explaining the elimina-
ton OF Glass, said that after the
caucus by vote of 20 to 10 had de-
cided to invite Glass to attend, OBJ.
jections were raised by few sena-
tors to his voting.
Il then stated" said Underwood,
that / would rather not be elected
leader than have any discord on thar
question and the invitation was with,

was Is to 10.

not be until his resignation as secre-
