Show Attack on Labor Department.

Circualrs have been sent to all local unoins acquainting them with the fact that the last legislature al most destroyed the State Labor De partment. By the nullifcation or re- peal of several of the most important sections of the labor law the number of factory inspectors was reduced al most to the vanishing point. This will prevent the enforcement of the laws governing working hours for women and children, and for safety and sanitation. The best features in thee workmen's compensation law have been eliminated and insufficient appropriations made to carry out it's provisions. Private insurance com panies are making enormous profits that should go to the injured or the heirs of the killed.

 Organizations of wage-earners in tive organization as that of New York
 The fact that there are men in public life who desire to disfranchise the great mass of the peopel by re- fusing to permit them to select candi= dates for office, and the further fact that they declare that when the wage earners and the farmers raise their voices for remedial legislation they are "hostile to American institu- tions," should make every just minded voter determined to cast his vote against such reactionary pro- posa1s.

when President Griffith is sched-

con of the Tampa Rotary Club in

The two Tampa clubs. In accord

Plant Field. provided Griffith will
guarantee to bring another big
league club to train in Florida
within striking distance of Tampa.
The two Tampa clubs will then
promote games between the Ma

Griff succeeds in bringing to Flor

however. will moi ave to worry

Both President Griffith and the

queer little twists are rather too
common to the modern boxing

Wills and Norfolk are striving
but Carpenter can hope. to get
only financial gain out \of his

1t appears that the present-dsy
boxer from California is nothing
more than a four-round worker.
The other night the promising
Hymie Gold. against Lew Tender,
of Philadelphia, blew up ir the
fifth round. For the first four
rounds the Quaker could scarcely
lay a glove on the native son.
There is one exception to the
rule, however. Babe Herman
seemingly can go any distance and
appears to be the most able feather
who has blown East for many
years.
Johnny Wilson today announced
that unless the State Athletic
Commission lifts the ban on him.
he will &c to Europe to take on
any middleweighters over there
who are anxious to fight.
Johnny Buff is training seriously
for his match with Roy Moore. OF
St. Paul, in the Jersey City armory
