when the knockout was scored be-

an end an event which has occupied
more newspaper space than is ac-
corded presidential inaugurations,

and so forth. Not that the newspa-

tual fight had been so prefaced by
publicity that the time was fast
coming when the fight would have
to be staged or the writers would
go dry on facts and stories.
One curious feature Of the &C
counts OF the fight seemed to stand
out, to our mind; while Dempsey
was expected to win, and did win,
Carpenter was a high favorite. That
was true in this country and in Eng
land, the reports indicate, while in
France Carpenter was both the
sentimental and the betting favor
lite. dramatically undertaking a
fight in which his opponent was
both heavier, larger and possessed
Of longer reach, and unable to hit
the blow which he knew Dempsey
dealt his ring opponents. Carpenter
nevertheless took up the fight; and
there comes the information now
that he went to the ring with an
injured wrist. Against these odds he
fought a plucky fight before an ap-
plauding 100000, and finished a
game and admirable loser. Dempsey
won because he was the superior
man; no one stints the praise which
is due him; and he was a good win
ner. But the public takes sides with
the man at disadvantage, even
though that disadvantage was invit-
ed; and Carpenter went down

The reelection of Samuel Comp
ers as president of the American
Federation of Labor, over John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine

such as harrington, of Illinois, and
Hewitt, Of Kansas, out of enmity
to Lewis, but in the main it was the
moro conservative of the labor lead
ers for Gompers against the more
aggressive, extreme or radical ones
who arllie daround Lewis. The meet
ing was really notable one because
the action taken, in almost every
instance, was free from Bolshevik
influences and was temperate and
reasonable. Almost without excep.
ton, the radical resolutions were
voted down in most cases over
whelmingly. The temper of the con-
vention was such as to give little
encouragement to those internatill-
alistS and socialists who are dill
gently working to capture organized
labor and turn it into a revolutions
airy movement.
Organized labor has a wonderful
opportunity to aid in the task Of
rehabilitation Of business. If the
more courageous leaders would real
ize and impress upon their follow
ers that as prices fall wages must
come down, if not in proportion, al
least partly othey would help, not

A SATISFACTORY FOURTH

Yesterday in this section was a

ones. The children had their fire.
works, and no one was hurt. As a
matter Of fact, we are inclined to
regard the growing use of what the
youngsters term "sparkler" as
very favorable because it is not
dangerous and gives much the same
effect as the heavier fireworks, al
though the sparkler can be handled
by the smaller children. The parks
reported busy times, the Dokky
celebration was well attended; we
won two baseball games; and hun
dreds of people found an opportun-
ity to get into the country for the
day. SO all in all it was fine day
"a Fourth OF July devoted primar.

and recreation, but at the same
time welcome break in the daily

PUBLIC OPINION
More Pay for Jury Outs

Dear Editor:
viii you kindly write up these
few lines for me?
THE citizens of Perth Amboy do
jury duty in u court for a paltry
seventy-f1ve cents per day. DoFyou
think it fair to take a poor man
from his work and make him lose
IS or So for seventy-fve cents? Also
the business man, he loses some
money. and | think 1t a shame. We
are willing to do our duty.
If u lawmakers at Trenton
would try and make the fee So or
SO 1t would be a little better for the
poor man and there would be less
jury duty or less petty cases in our
court. Just think. twelve men lose
day for eight dollars-quite
some pay.
Thanking you.
Yours respectfully,
