is expected to disappear within day

OBSERVER FROM

VISITS DEMPSEY
MaIIett, Carpenters Advis-
er, Comes to See How
Jack Shapes Up; Declares
"He'S Splendid"
(By The Associated Press.)

Atlantic City, N. j., June "a
without knowing he was perform
ing before the critical eye Of an
observer from Georges Carpenters
camp, Jack Dempsey perspired
through forty minutes of bag
punching and boxing today. He
boxed with light sparring partners
to increase his speed.
The man who paid his way into
the camp was Pierre Mallett, close
friend and adviser of Carpenter
He made no attempt to conceal his
identity, but came merely to see
how Dempsey shaped up.
Mallett was duly impressed with
Dempsey's left hand, his thin legs
and deep chest. He timed every
round of boxing and watched the
way Dempsey whips over hooks
and his crafty way Of shifting.
Hes Splendid magnificent
specimen OF man." Mallett said.
"While 1 naturally think Carp-n-
tier Is a faster and better boxer, l
found Dempsey was a more shifty
boxer than had anticipated. He
is by no meas slow and Is tre-
mendous puncher.
II have seen Carpenter in every
important bout. We have not un-
der estimated Dempsey but Car
pentier can hit terrific blow.
Carpenter is absolutely conf
dent of winning. l know Georges
was never better, and l am sure
Dempsey Is in wonderful condition.
It will be glorious battle and
there will be no disgrace in losing"
Mallett, since his arrival from
France two weeks ago, has been
an intimate member of Carpen-
tiers camp.

Dallas, Tex. June 22.-Reports

night, indicated that the tropical
storm of last night and today had

Nogales, AriZ., June 22.-Drlllers
at work on the Wolferton ranch, on
the east side of the milestone
mountains in Santa Cruz county
struck oil today, according to re-
ports brought here. Some of the
men returning from the well
brought samples Of the product Of
the well. The oil was struck at a
depth of 500 feet This is believed
to be the first oil ever struck in
Arizona.
Patagonia, a small town near
where the drilling occurred, Is
greatly excited over the strike. A
number Of residents of that town
left for the we'll as soon as word of
its success was received. Several
companies are being formed there
to locate lands for drilling in the
vicinity of the Wolferton ranch.
Geologists here and at Patagonia
who have visited the new well say
that the oil shale is of the same

New York, June 22.-Dls-
appearance at sea of several
American ships within the
last few months was linked
by the New York police to-
night with plans revealed in
raids on radical headquar-
ters a year and a half ago,
for the seizure of these YES
sells at sea and their diver
sion to Russian soviet ports.
Police said they were in
formed through certain
confidential sources" that
officials of the Union of
Russian Workers of the
United States and Canada,
an organization since broken
up, had urged its unemploy-
ed members to seek employ
ment on American ships,
overpower other members of
the crew and direct the ves-
sells to Russia.
\ All their information, together
with the literature and documents
seized, police said, was turned over
to the department of justice.
So far as is known these plans
were never put into execution prior
to the raids, but police said they
formed the chief subject of dis
cussion at secret meetings of the
Russian organization.
The organization, police de-
clared, was composed largely of
Russian anarchists who used the
union labor movement as a camou-
flage. Their headquarters were re-
peatedly rateed by the police in
1919 and 1920 and numerous ar
rests made. Eventually the major
ity of those arrested were deported
to Russia.

for unemployment insurance, which
Mr.. Gompers opposed.
This is not insurance to assure
employment, but compensation for
the unemployed" he began. "There
are some who hold that. when the
hours of labor are reduced, the re-
duction implies that workers will
produce less and thereby make en-
ployment for those out of work.
No greater misconception of the
movement for a shorter work day
is held anywhere. On the contrary
the industrial history of the world
demonstrates beyond question that
reduced hours of labor. other
things being equal, will increase
production"
Shorter Work Day.
Enumerating the arguments for
a shorter work day as 1t relates to
the welfare of the worker, he
launched into an attack upon the
resolution.
Payments to the unemploy-
cd in countries which have
adopted such insurance have
not reduced unemployment
one iota," he said. "Quite the
contrary. As soon as you es-
tablish unemployment insur-
ance, the working people place
themselves under the guard
1anship of the country.
Every act of life. so far as 1t
relates to labor or employment, is
subject to the action and decision
of the government" he said. He
declared that persons idle because
of strikes would not benefit and
that the trend of activity Of organ
lied labor in efforts to organize
would be Subject to every petty
and high official"
IT Sounds So Humane.
1T sounds so humane" he said.
ut sounds so considerate, to pro-
vide some means from any source
to sustain some worker who is un-
employed. But 1t would be putting
the heads OF laboring men in the
halter" he said. making us slaves,
willing. obedient slaves of any gov

II believe I'm this republic.
i believe that opportunity here
Is greater than anywhere in

struck out by the convention, sus-
tanning President Gompers' atti-
tude.
