RUSTL|NG NOT LOST
ART, SAYS METCAtF

The bold field of rustling has gone
and will perhaps never return" said
Vernon Metcalf, secretary of the Ne
yada Livestock Association. but the
losses are still SO large from cattle
theft that a considerable part Of the
annual meeting will be devoted to
attempting TO define legislation to
put stop to theft, said the Gazette.
Some stockmen have estimated
that the cattle industry Of Nevada is
suffering an annual loss of close to
half a million dollars through the
work of the smaller rustler, who cuts
out one or two head and disposes of
the carcasses to a local butcher. or
peddles the meat himself. Approx
mately, there are 100000 head of cat
tie in Nevada today. The estimated
loss would show rustlers secure $4,000
head. Figuring at the amount placed
as value a head for taxation, 1872, this
means $780, 900 lost to the cattle pro-
ducing men of the state.
1.-TWO principal features OF the at
tempt to curb this theft will be taken
up in the proposed asking of new leg
islation to protect the industry. One
will be changing the brand law so
that instead of brands being regis
tered at county seats, there will be
a clearing house Of brands at some
one central point. This will over
come a multiplicity, and often seri-
GUS duplication of brands in one gen.
eral section. 1t will be possible un-
der this law to register brands with
more degree of certainty than now
is possible, and will enable closer
watch to be kept on stolen cattle.
THE second desired law will be
one which already has been passed by
several Western states, law COM
pelling slaughterers. retailers and
peddlers to secure licenses for their
business. Under the license there
should be provision compelling
them to keep book records of all cat
tie bought, with description and dates
purchased.
with adequate inspection facilities.
central point of brand registration,
together with a record of cattle pur-
chased, slaughtered, and sold In the
state, material decrease should be
shown in rustling activities.

GANIZATION SATISFYING OUR NEEDS AS
MEMBERS OF A UNION!
The Shop Delegate System.

We must elect delegates from the shops and
not from the unions so that action will come right
out of the shop By systems of election and re-
presentation, these delegates will form Commu-
nifty, District and National Councils Of the in
other industries National Councils of the country
controlling all the work done.
And still we, the rank and file, the workers
in the shops, the producers of all the wealth.
the men and women whom the bosses count by rhe
dollars of profit that they squeeze out of u.s.
will be in absolute control.
Thus, we will have two-edged sword the
only weapon with which we can meet them and
defeat them; and the only weapon that will keep
corruption and graft out of our ranks Graft is
killing our organizations it is being made the pre-
text for smashing them altogether. AS long as la
Dor unions are as they are, there will be graft AS
long as there is graft the bosses can throttle u.s.
To be fighting organization, we, the workers,
must direct and contorOl.
The fight is on!
But it has only begun. 400, 900 men and women
are in alliance against part of the capitalist
class. 100000 workers are jobess. Winter is
ahead of us. Times are hard. Labor is getting
rebelous. Workers will not be satisfied to go
hungry while machines stand idle, because their
owners can gain no profit.
1T WILL SOON BE A STRUGGLE WITH
THE BOSSES, NOT OVER STANDARD OF
WAGE AND PRODUCTION, BUT FOR CON-
TROL OF INDUSTRY.
Millions Of unemployed are threat to the
owners Of machinery. Millions of men who were
willing to sacrifice their lives for ideals" held
before them during the wal, ideals long proven
.shams will not be willing to go hungry because
the owners Of machinery cannot obtain profit
from the work done by labor.
Mr.; Harding is on the side Of the BOSSES He
has at his disposal everything to stop the rebellion
even Of millions of hungry men and women The
courts will be used, as they are being used now,
even to declare the Alliance Of the needle trades

as they and the smaller unions saw that there
was only one hope of winning, and that was by
foming an alliance of action embracing the
whole trade-in the same way, workers in all other
industries will have to learn that, within the
next few months, they will have the same pro-
bem to Solve
Organize on Class lines.
They will have to learn that they are all
part of the big working class, whose interests are
identical-They will have to see that as the capi-
talists form their alliances to fight labor, ALL
LABOR MUST UNITE IN A BIG BODY TO
FIGHT CAPITAL! They will have to learn that
we are something more than bricklayers, tailors,
bakers, plumbers and engineers-that WE ARE
WORKERS, FIRST OF ALL, AND ALL THE
TIME! They will have to learn that we are body
of producers working for the profit of Others They
must learn that the capitalists are united in their
big organizations and associations and chambers of
commerce, ready to act as one man against the
workers. They will have to learn that there is
only one form of attack and defense that of
CLASS AGAINST CLASS-THE WORKERS
AGAINST THE BOSSES!
And now it becomes all the more necessary,
since Harding has come out openly for breaking
the unions, for establishing the Open Shop. The
Republican platform, the platform of the big capi
talists, for which the workers voted, ignores the
workers. Mr. Harding has told us what to ex-
pect.
So we must organize, class against class But
re must organize efficiently.
To fight efficiently, we must be strong in
ternally. We, the workers, must control our lives
and our work. Just as we refuse to be bossed
by the Bosses we must refuse also to be bossed by
our leaders,
While fighting the employers, we must build
up an organization that puts the whole control
into our hands. We must build shop organization,
controlled by us and acting as we, the workers,
determine It must be an organization that ans
wers our needs as they change from day to day.
It must be an organization constructed directly
upon our work in the shops. 1T MUST BE AN OR

With three victories in as many

Indiana University quintet is far

basketball championship race.
Their early victims were Ohio

whom they permitted collectively
to accumulate only 81 points,
whereas the Hoosier total was 30.
Captain Dean, Forwards Marxson
and De Hority were responsible for
"a markers in the three games.
Minnesota, Purdue and Illinois,
who have played only one game
each up to the time these figures
were compiled, registered wins in
their first attempts. The Gophers
took the measure Of the Iowa i've,
Purdue conquered Northwestern
and Illinois proved to the confer
ence teams that it will undoubted-
ly be a serious contender by de-
feating the strong Maroon squad
in an affair which necessitated five
minutes overtime play.
Three Tight Games.
For the twenty games played to
date seventeen were won by de-
cisive scores and the remainder
were Of the more keerly contested
variety. Northwestern was able to
best Wisconsin by only a single
point, Wisconsin rang up its VIC
tory over Michigan by only three
counters, while the Illinois, Chicago
meeting was won by the former
by but four-point advantage. OF
the loose settos the Hoosier team
hung up the greatest score by
their 81 to 10 win over the Purple.
Though Wisconsin has twice
been at the short end of the score
in its three games, Taylor, captain
Of the Badger five, leads all the
conference players in individual
points. He sent twelve shots
through the netting and in thirty
one free attempts he had fourteen
successes for 80 total.

arose gamely for more each time.
At the end of the third knock down,
the blonde Milwaukeean's right eye
was closed.
He was in bad shape. He didn't
appear to have chance in the
world to even last one round. But
as Leonard swept in, confidently, to
finish matters Mitchell rallied. He
threw all his waning power into one
dying" wallop. 1t landed flush on
Leonard's jaw. The champion went
down with a crash. Leonard was
badly stunned, but his generalship
! saved him.
Made Most Of Chance.
There are those who say that
Mitchell lost his opportunity" as
he should have finished Leonard.
We do not see it that way. 1t is
true that Mitchell did not press
Leonard as hard as in the second
and third rounds. The reason is
plain, or should be.
1t must not be forgotten that
Mitchell himself had just arisen

from three terrific knockdowns. AL
though he retained the power to de-
liver that crushing punch, he was
still badly dazed and bewildered
young man. He was as badly off as
Leonard, probably worse.
He made the most Of his "oppor-
tunity." In his weakened condi-
ton he pressed Leonard as hard as
he could. But the round was too
near its close, and Mitchell wasn't
strong enough to put Benny away.
What Might Have Been.
II Mitchell hadn't been knocked
down, and so badly punished before
landing his sockdolager. there
would have been a new champion.
He would have been strong enough
to follow through his advantage. and
land another OF his terrible hooks.
Fortunately, or unfortunately,
however. Ifs" don't count. But
blows do-particularly the early
ones. They were the ones that
knocked Mitchell out of a knock
out.
