FURRIERS' STRIKE IN NEW YORK
A POSSIBLE FEDERATION OF

On the 9th of May the furriers Of

strike a success for the workers
The strike was not unexpected. altho
there were hopes of its being avoided.
Since the causes that led to the final
break are very characteristic of tho

For the last few years the furricr'

At the start, the Union was rather
backward in admitting these new-com

organized workers felt that the good

the overflow in the trade might become
an evil from which all the worker
would have to suffer. But here the
workers struck n basic question. name.

should be closed to new workers.
This problem was often discussed by
the rank and file of the Union. ana
finally the open door principle Won
out. 1t was decided to accept all the
applicants into the Union.
Meanwhile. certain unamiabl;

Then the Union asked the Employ

fancy leather goods. etc. would belong
to one labor federation In other
words. the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers. the United Garment Work
crs. the International Ladies' Garment
Workers. the United Cloth Hat and
Capmakers. the Fancy Lcnther Work
crs, and the Furriers Unions. all
these organizations with their many
locals would form federation of al
most three quarters of million work
ers. Such n federation. if well or
ganiZed. must have influence upon the
policies of the labor movement and
would he power to be reckoncd with.
1t would in fact be the only power in
control of the working conditions in
the needle industries, With this in
mind. it is no wonder that all those
interested in the labor movement arc
watching the progress Of this plan with
the greatest anxiety and interest.
Yes. the plan is quite beautiful
one. and well appearing. but will it
he realized?
1t is perhaps too early to speak of
the possible success or failure of this
plan and. therefore. wish to limit
myself to n few remarks about the dit
ficulties which lie in the way of it,
naturalization.
In theory all the aforementioned
Unions will agree to the plan. In
practice they will not be inclined to
sacrifice a particle of their autonomy
for its realization. If every union
should insist upon its own sovereignty
and freedom of action. doubtful indeed
would be the success and power of the
proposed federation. Another of the
great impedimcnts will be the action
of the American Federation of Labor.
As is well known. the Amalgamafed
and the United Cloth Hat and Cap
makers Unions are outside of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor altogether.
Knowing all the difficulties. the pos
sibilities of undertaking the idea OF
one fedora ton in the needle industry
do not seem to lie as brilliant as many
suppose.

TWO MORE GOOD MEN
 SECURED FOR BARONS

Carlton Molesworth, manager of the Birmingham Barons, seems to have hit quite snag of luck when he latched onto Catcher Rinehart Kress and How ard Pennington from Pittsburg. Both of these players were with the pen nant-winning Grand Rapids club of 1he Central League last season and, nc- cording to Richard Guy, sporting edi-or of the Pittsburg Leader must be good men. Here's what Guy has to say about the two boys:
 'Rinehagt Kress, who was loan d 10 the Grand Rapids club by Barney Drey- fuss. caught Ill games for the pen Inant-winning Grand Rapids >ciub in the Central league the past season. He cid pot have one passed ball, remark ,ble record l remember when Kress Joil ed the Pittsburg Collegians he could not handle ball below his knees but he developed and in short while V as digging wild pitches out of the dirt with the skill and abandon of a major league star.

 Most Thrilling Race
By Associated Press

Halifax, N. S., November 1. The Gloucester schooner Es- peranto came from behind in a heart gripping race today and won from the Lunenburg schooer Delawana by seven minutes an dfifteen seconds, official time, thereby clinching the cup and $4,000 in prize money.
 The win gave two straight victories to the United States in the International se- ries between the Nova Scotia fishermen and their Massachusetts rivals and there- by determined the event for the year.
 Keen judgment and matchless sailing ability of Captain Marty Welch of the Gloucester boat, was said on all hands tonight to be responsible for winning to- days victory, when he brought the Esperanto from behind after 2 miles of the 4O-mile course had been sailed and on the final leg, which was dead beat to windward, continually increased his lead. The superior ability of the Esperan- to to work to windward was admitted to be factor in the result. Captain Welch. however, said tonight that it was the wind that did it.
 Tn the light wind.'' he said, sthe Delawana had us, but in the heavier wind as we approached the harbor we loped ahead. But she is game vessel --a very fine vessel and a splendid crew. He made his statement as his crew was giving three cheers for the crew of the Delawana.
 That is just what you ought to do," he said to his men. They are fine bunch and deserve it."
 OVERSHOT THE MARK
 Captain Tommy Himmelman of the de- feated schooner, when asked for the rea- son that he had lost the race said.

Donza -Boorde
 Scrap Should Be a Hummer

At least two good fights are assured local boxing fans who attend the enter tainment of the D. A. C. next Tuesday. one or them. the na:n event, is the ten round affair between Freddie Boorde oi the B. A. c. and Ashton Donza. former international bantamweight chS npion oi New Orleans. The other is the s4x-round seml-finai event between Johnny I<lsso Of New Orleans and an opponent to be selected later by the B.s A. c.
 It may sound strange to say that a fight between man and an unknown opponent will be q good one, but when Johnny Russo is the known party, this peculiarity is easy to explain. Any fight in which Russo take part will be a snappy affair
 Freddie Boorde has bitten off a .lan's sized chunk in agreeing to meet DonZa. Here's a bit of Ashton's ring career.
 Defeated Kid Kelly in six rounds.
 Defeated Kid Gomez twice in six round bouts.
 Defeated Kid Laporte in eight rounds.
 Knocked out Kid Brewer in two rounds.
 Defeated Nick Cantana in ten rounds.
 In addition to the above named men, Donza has put away numerous oppo- lnents who were well known in their na- tive burgs. The above are New Orleans fighters for the Nmost part and are among the most prominent fighters in their class, the 125-pound division.
 Freddie Boorde is only a youngste~, but he is well developed for one of his years. Although the odds seem to be against him, he might come through ana beat Donza to a frazzle, a thing, how ever, which hasn't been accomplished often, and never since Ashton has at- tained the crest of his ability.
 Johnny (Young) Russo has a record that sounds just about like Donza' $. There is one difference however, aud that is there are more knockout vic tories in favor of Russo mentioned Here's few of his fights: Defeated Paul Allen (decision). Knocked out Red Dillon. Defeated Johnny O'Leary (decision). Knocked out Dude Lynch. Knocked out Mickey OConnoly. Ia Fought Kid Green to a. draw. Knocked out Young Marian. Most of the above named boxers are Texas lads who are we'll known in their native state. Young Russo is a Texas product, doing most of his fighting ir the Lone Star state, but later moving to New Orleans
 B.. A. c. officials xstate that they VII pick out good opponent for Young Russo, one who will force the little scrapper to the limit to win.

NeU Orleans to Haue Big Racing
 Meet This Year

New Orleans, November 1.-(Special.) Preparations for a great racing season, starting Thanksgiving day are on here. Fifty-two days of the sport are assured. The opening will be at Jefferson park where the ponies will run until New Year, and then at the fair grounds.
 The Business Mems Racing associa- ton, which conducts the fair grounds, meets Tuesday night, when President Mcclellan and Directors Letellier and Burglas will pass upon the compromise understood to have been effected by MT. Eddy with the executive committee of the Thoroughbred Horsemen's association to escape the threatened boycott.
 The meeting. in all probability, will re- suit in the election of an entire new directorate to govern F. M. R. A. af- fairs in the future. Rumors have been current for several days that Messrs. Burglas and Letellier, the only remaining directors, are about to tender their resig- nations.
 In addition to selecting new directors, racing officials will be appointed for the 1921 season. While visiting Kentucky, Maryland and New York. MT. Eddy in- terviewed most of the men who handled the sport here in previous years and in dications are that the same lineup will be reappointed with the exception of possibly s. c. Nuckolls, who served as one of the stewards
 The antagonism to Joseph A. Murphy by clique of horsemen is gradually sub- siding. It is believed that Mir. Murphy will be in his same old berth, in that he has the confidence of the New Or leans public and wants only the clean est kind of racing. His refusal to sanc- tion the restoration of privileges to those caught in sharp work last season has been approved by most racing associa- tions.
 Three directors will be appointed to succeed Louis N Lang, A. Tujangue and Hampton Reynolds, resigned. Messrs Lang and Tujangue severed all connec- tion with the B. M. R. A. following the
