Over Zbyszko
Strangler Triumphs Over
Pole After [ Hour and Is
Minutes Strenuous Work

Ed "strangler" Lewis defeated
Wladek Zbyszko after l hour 25 min
utes as seconds of furious wrestling
in the list Regiment Armory last
night, A series of headlocks wore the
Polish Adonis down and out in the
last five minutes OF the match. Their
exhibition provided countless thrills
for the crowd that jammed the armory
despite the unfavorable weather condi-
tions.
In the event preceding the big
match, Joe Stecher, the worlds cham
plon, had workout for the more
serious mat encounters to come in this
city, during. the winter. The title
holder crushed the ambition out of
Leon O'Donnell, a newcomer from
france, IN ii minutes 40 seconds. A
pody SCISSORS and arm lock enabled the
champion to finish his exercise
For nearly an hour Zbyszko held the
master hand over Lewis. Wladek was
the aggressor until the "Strangler" he
gan applying his deadlock with intense
pressure. "Zibby" was forced to bridge
rlmself several times in order to break
the deadly grip, and the effort weak
ened MN to such an extent that Lewis
was able to secure his fourth success
slve headlocx with ease and throw his
opponent heavily to the mat and then
hatten his shoulders
"Stransler" Near Defeat
Several times during the match Lewis
was was on the verge Of defeat, but each
time he emerged from dangerous holds
py sheer strength. On one occasion
Lewis broke an arm lock by plantjnp
his foot on Zbyszko's stomach ana
forcing the Pole to abandon his painful
grip. '-' =
Lewis and Zbyszko, who are far from
sylphlkc when in the best of condi-
.loh' appeared out Of form as thew
numbered from their corners at 9:l5
O'Clock. The "Strangler" took "zibby'
obtaining deadlock before thew even
parried for a hold. The Pole went to
the mat with thud, and for the next
two minutes was busy trying to break
the grip. He finally succeeded.
lew minutes later Zbyszko forced
Lewis to the mat with his dreaded arm
lock. Then, finding he could not end
the issue with this hold, Wladek OBJ
tanned toe hold that tortured his
rival for three minutes before he
slipped away.
Lewis Breaks Hold
Three minutes after that Zbyszko
again got his arm lock, which tlrned
into deadlock, but Lewis found no
difficulty in breaking his own favorite
hold. The Strangler then took a toe
hold himself and he had "Zibby"
twisting and squirming before he could
escape.
AT the half hour Zbyszko renewed
his attack and nearly put Lewis's mas
sive shoulders to the canvas through
the medium of half Nelson. He OBJ
tanned this hold after shaking off Eds
deadlock by sheer force, lifting the
Stranger bodily. The men then got
tangled in the ropes, which gave them q
chance to regain their feet for the
first time in many minutes.
The constant aggressiveness began
to tell on Zbyszko as they neared the
hour mark. Then Lewis began to get
busy with his headlocks and with four
OF these in succession virtually stunned
'Zibhy" into submission

Hiding Better at Armory

1t continues to be mystery as TO
where the crowds come from and how
they continue to live and apparently
enjoy life. 1t was to be expected that
the night attendance would be big, but
all through the day, forenoon and
afternoon, there were between three
and four thousand sixday addicts
glued to the edge of their seats.
This may be partly explained by the
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-04-23
THE YARDMEN's ASSOCIATION

John Grunau, head Of the recently
formed Yard Mems Association, who
has been called every name imagin-
able by the enemies of the Associa-
ton, is probably not as black as he
has been painted, as the following
record furnished by the clerk of
of courts of Cook county, Illinois,
would lead one to believe that he is
pretty decent kind of a fellow and
a good American citizen: John
Grunau, born at st. Paul SO years
ago, has been a resident of Chicago
for SO years, and for the past 80
years has lived in the home which he
owns in the fourteenth ward. He is
@ national trustee of the Moose Ma
tional Home and prominent Knight
Of Pythias and is also a 32d degree
Mason. He has served two terms
in the Illinois state legislature. War
record-Bought $100 Liberty Bond
of every issue up to the Victory Loan,
when he and his wife took a $1,000
Victory Bond, and all these bonds
were paid for on a $500 a day salary.
AS the above facts were furnished by
e county official there can be no doubt
regarding their truthfulness.
The Yard Mems Association is up
against it. The National Association
has tried to gain audience with the
railroad managers and were referred
to the National Labor Board, which
III turn sent them back to the rail
road management, only to have the
program repeated. The Association
realizes that it has a hard row to
hoe but has not lost heart, nor has
its enthusiasm been quenched.
GOmpers Says It's Mistake
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, con-
ferred with chiefs of the railroad
brotherhoods. Gompers declared the
walkout of yard men to be a mistake
and promises the whole weight of the
American Federation of Labor in
fuence to support the brotherhoods
in their struggle, but asserted that

the men have a grievance and that it
must be adjusted without further
delay.
at is men like Senator Cummins,
Congressman Esch and Governor
Allen of Kansas who are to blame
for this situation with their legisla-
ton to deny man the right to quit
work to enforce legitimate claim or
redress an injury" Gompers is quoted
to have said in a Cleveland news
paper. at is the policy of getting
out injunctions, both prohibitory and
mandatory, and so keep men at labor
under grievous conditions which has
brought on this wave of uncontrol-
able resentment.
"Outlaw strikes, such as this, rep
resent the resentment of the men
themselves to the laws being enacted
to enslave them. Workers naturally
resent being put into a straight
jacket. The coal strike in Kansas
against Governor Aliens industrial
court law is another evidence of this
resentment breaking forth"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-04-23
Joining Federal Unions

ACKNOWLEDGMENT employees
are joining the National Federation
Of Federal Employees Gin squads,
droves and platoons," as Dooley
would say. During the last 10 days
nine locals were formed, making a
total of 172 charters issued. One of
the new locals is at Aberdeen, Md,
where 412 war department employees
signed the charter roll.
Officials of the federation say the
stimulus to organization is the
critical need by government workers
al lover the country of better pay
and the correction Of inequalities and
disadvantages attending government
service. AS the federation extends
in numerical strength it is believed
congress will consider the immediate
necessity for the federation's legis-
lative program.
"This program" it is stated, Sin
cludes the Nolan bill providing
minimum wage of So a day for gov
eminent employees, the Stirling-Lehl-
bach bill for retirement of the super
animated employees, and equitable re-
adjustment and reclassifcation of all
salaries with due regard to the in
creased cost of living and the skill
and training required for the posi-
ton, and a central administrative
agency to control and administer the
civil service. In other words, an en-
larged civil service commission, in the
membership of which the employees
shall have representation"

at thirty, a thug and desperate
character, and at forty-fve con-
frmed criminal and physical
wreck. Or through christian in
fuence and good books, how many
at sixteen will be studious and clean
in person and habits; at twenty pos
sessed Of manly purity and industri-
Gus; at thirty, rewarded with success
and manhoods best gifts, and at
seventy looking back over an honor
able and useful career. Practically
the same is true of our young girls.
A distinguished German author
says that it matters not whether a
person lives to middle life or to old
age, the first twenty years is the
greatest half of ones life on earth.
This may be true. Older people we'll
know that the memories of these
twenty years fasten themselves on
I the mind more firmly than those of
any or all of the future years. "Well
begun is half completed" is the old
proverb. A good beginning is a
promise of success. We may say a
promise, not an absolute assurance.
Neither is poor beginning a posi-
tive forerunner Of bad ending But
the beginning, good or bad, has a
tremendous influence on the future
life of a young man or woman.
To start the young men and
women on useful career is the
paramount object of these three
philanthropic organizations which
seek aid from the citizens through the
Community Chest. While the nation
was plunged into war for COM
mercial power, styled war for dem
ocracy, the country was flooded with
orators and editors explaining the
cause of the conflict, and the words
democracy, loyalty, patriotism, pro-
German, Americanism and Stacker
were heard everywhere at all times,
and our gold was poured into the
Golfers Of Great Britain to save her
from defeat.
The time is now opportune for the
people to demonstrate their love and
loyalty to the American needy who
are taken care of by these worthy
organizations, and if the orators and
public at large were sincere in their
protestations of love for American
principles, now is the time to de-
monstrate it by assisting in bringing
the Community Chest proposition to
a successful conclusion.

2-Year Agreement
THE COAL OWNERS AGREE TO A
WAGE INCREASE
The 81 Per Cent Award of Presidents
Coal Commission Embodied
In the Contract

New York-Coal owners and miners
of the central competitive field have
signed a two-year wage agreement
which embodies the 27 per cent award
of the presidents coal commission.
The central competitive field is west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, and serves as a basis for
other fields.
Starting with the miners conven-
tion last fall, this wage movement
included many unusual features,
among them being an injunction is
sued by a federal court at the re-
quest of the department of justice
that was intended to break the ma
tion-wide strike of miners. The in
junction was failure and then Fuel
A administrator Garfield handed down
his famous award of IA per cent in
crease which would re-establish, he
said the miners living standards
that existed before the war. The
miners rejected this theory. They
refused to accept standard of six
years ago.
The campaign of opposition to the
miners was in startling contrast to
the praise heaped upon them during
the war. On October 20, 1918, the
publicity division of the department
of labor issued this statement:
"Less than 100000 miners are now
actually bearing the greatest re-
sponsibility that has come to any
class of workers who are giving
their strength to the winning of the
war. They have broken all previous
records in production, although
thousands of their comrades have
gone into the army and navy.
Before the first draft approx
mately 100000 mine workers were
employed in the United States. Then
the war took about Is per cent of
the workers, for a large number
volunteered, in addition to the loss
by draft"
