YOUNG JOE CANS
TOF|GHT HERE
VIII Meet Johnny MahOnGy al
AmbOy Sport Club

The card Of fights which Joe Nc
Nulty has arranged for tn. Amboy
Sport Club next Thursday night
should furnish plenty of acton. Three
star eight round events are on the
card, one six and one four round
bouts completing the card.
The main event brings together Al
Roberts, the Staten Island fireman
boxer, known rs the Elevator, and
Joe Banks, the Brooklyn rigger in
an eight round bout. Roberts is well
known TO Gstic fans hereabouts and
Banks also has quite a reputation
in the roped arena. This bout should
be fast and peppery throughout.
Young Joe Cans. the Newark col
ored lightweight champion OF the
world will meet a real opponent in
Johnny Mahoney. the lightweight
champ from the Keystone state. Ma
honey has defeated some OF the best
llghtweights in he game, n should
give the Colored battler a hard go.
The Keystone champ scored a twenty
three second victory over Johnny
Cashill of Philadelphia. also scoring
knockouts over Jimmy Smith, Willie
Kane. Johnny Hayes, Roy Mcfarland
and Johnny Lundy.
Mahoney has participated in bouts
@C1AACJ AAo 4 Ito
Kline. Joe Leonard, Freddy Reese and
many other stars OF the game. Cans
who has challenged Benny Leonard,
won his two fights here by knockouts,
and the colored boy is well liked here.
In the other eight round contest,
Eddie Kenneyan Of Brooklyn, will
meet Dick Howell of Newark. These
two boys are welterweights and are
always known to put up a clever exhi-
bition. This contest should match
with the best on the card.
In the six round event, Young Tay-
Tor of Chrome viii meet Young Balint
of this city. Balint won their last
bout. when Taylor was forced to quit
in the third round after making a
sensational start. Both boys request
ed a return bout, and this contest
should be a real battle and should
suit the fans.
Ray Handerhan. the star bantam OF
this city will probably be matched
to meet some good opponent In the
four round bout. Handerhan defeat
ed Ba'int in a bout in the local ring
sometime ago. n local fans hal
him as a real conner.

ASK FREE SPEECH
FORU.S S. WORKERS.
Clerks Should Have Same
Rights as Cabinet Heads,
Representatives Claim.

Civil service rulees prohibiting po-
1itical activity on the part OF govern
ment employees applied to all persons
in the executive civil service" accord
ing to. statement issued today by
Charles NJ. Galloway, former civil
Lloyd, former member of Congress.
counsel for the National Federation
of Federal Employees. -
+, The statement was issued in con-
nectien with the controversy involv-
ing the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees which has resulted
from the publication by the fedora
ton Of Senator Hoke Smiths record
in the Senate in opposition to the
Nolan minimum wage bill for federal
employees.
Free Speech Rights.
In reference to federal workers
exercising the right of free speech,
Messrs. Galloway and Lloyd declare:
1.-The civil service rule prohibiting
political activity on the part of gov
eminent employees applies to all per-
sons in the executive civil service
This includes not only all Of those
in the competitive classified civil
service, but also all officers Of the
government appointed by the Presi-
dent, by and, with the advice and
consent of the Senate.
ut would appear, therefore, that
a member of the cabinet or other
presidential appointee should set the
example with reference to political
activity. No one has questioned the
right of such a member of the exc
cutive civil service to engage in par
tisan political activity.
why, therefore. say that a watch
man in the competitive classified civil
service or a fourth class postmaster
or rural carrier may not exercise
the ordinary rights accorded to every
citizen in question affecting the public
welfare?
All Servants Of the People.
$50 far as their relations to the
public are concerned, they occupy the
same relative position: namely, SER
wants of all the people. Pernicious
political activity on the part of a
appointee would, there
fore, appear to be more offensive to
duct on the part of a Waterman or a
fourth class postmaster or a rural
carrier.
ITO deny such rights to employees
of the government. comprising as
they do very large group Of the
most intellectual part of the cleo
torate, is a policy that can hardly be
without positive detri-
ment to free and untrammeled gov
eminent.
'The National Federation of Fed
tain it's present harmonious relations
with the Civil Service Comm sion. and
it is believed that these relations
should not be disturbed by the in
sistence Of the ordinary rights of free
speech"

Britain Cites Expense Incurred by
Detention of Allocated Ships.

Diplomatic negotiations have been
initiated by Great Britain with the
United States as to the liability of
the United States for expenditures
necessitated by detention in American
ports of the seven former German
liners allocated to this country for
the homeward movement Of American
troops. The ships were held up by
the Shipping Board after their sur
render by the War Department. but
finally were delivered to England.
All the time the ships were detained
here British crews sent to this coun-
try to take them over were detained
in New York, it is charged. A question
of demurrage charges also is under
stood to be involved. as sailing dates
for the ships on British schedule had
been announced. 1t is understood no
specific claim for reimbursement has
been presented. but the negotiations
have been started for the purpose of
reaching an amicable agreement as to
where responsibility for the delay
rests. Ultimate ownership of the
vessels. which include the Imperator.
now operated by the Cunard line, also
is understood to have been made

BANKERS MAY HOLD
SESSION AT KE|YH'S
Means Of Entertaining Thou
sands of Financiers Expect
ed Here Discussed.

Owing to inability Of the American
Bankers Association to make its
hours for the four business sessions
accord with those agreed upon by R..
N. Harper for the local executive
committee and Marcus Loew for the
use of the Palace Theater, it will be
necessary to secure another audience
hall.
Officials of the American Bankers
Association have been in the city re-
Gently and made an inspection of the
various theaters.
1t is practically assured that on the
return of George o. Watson, chairman
of the committee having this matter
In charge, announcement will be made
that the business sessions will be
held in keith's Theater. A test of the
acoustic properties shows that it is
all that could be desired. and this ar
rangement will be perfectly satisfac-
tory to the American Bankers Asso-
citation.
Entertainment Committee Meets.
The entertainment committee of the
local bankers general committee met
last evening and discussed various in
teresting methods for the entertain
ment of the thousands of bankers and
their guests.
there Will be number of dances ar
ranged, golf at various clubs, smokers
etc.
X. n. Harper conceived the idea
that a battleship in the Potomac, open
for the inspection of the guests, with
perhaps a trip down the river as far
as Indian Head and back, would be
quite a feature for the inland bank
ers and the guests
A call on Secretary Daniels devel-
oped the unexpected fact that the
MayhoWer was the largest ship in
the Navy that could safely navigate
the channel to Washington, although
he was perfectly willing to go as far
as possible for the bankers
1t may be that a torpedo ship or a
chaser or two may make up the naval
feature of the entertainment.
