Camp followers OF Dempsey are
| inclined to the opinion that the
champion is not doing enough train
ing at least in the public workouts
during the afternoons. He has not
averaged more than twenty min
utes work in the ring day during
the past week.
Today he is not working at all.
He had another days rest last
/ Wednesday. On one afternoon he
boxed four three-mfnute rounds, and
two of perhaps & minute and q half
each, with bit OF shadow boxing
for variety.
Dempsey has been doing road
work daily and punches the,
! heavy bag i'm the mornings. This
week he plans to speed up his
boxing, taking on the smaller,
faster members Of his troupe.
The champions manager, Kearns,
expresses himself as satisfied with
/. his condition. He says that the
strenuous morning workouts OF
eighteen minutes or more on the
big sand bag are calculated to make
Dempsey's arms weary in the after
noon. AS the champion holds a

DAMAGES for Elacklistino

r. T. Jones is railroad conductor
by trade. In 1903 he was employed on
a Colorado branch line road. He was
discharged in 1909, in accordance. he
was Informed, with roster Of con-
ductors," and barred from main line
service except in emergencies. There
were no charges of Incompetence or
delinquency. Two years later he was
informed the bar had been removed,
but he waited two years more before
a lob was offered on another road. lie
made contract for employment only
Immediately to he discharged. In
1918 he was employed as Hagman
by his original road and continued in
service about 4 year. when he was
discharged without fault on his part.
In January, 1920, he was provided
with work again by the second road,
but before he began service the en-
ployer notified him that to avoid
trouble the arrangement must be can
celed. Finally Jones sued the Order
Of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
In the trial it was shown that these
unions had each time procured his
discharge That officials told him
they desired his services but union
intimidation stood in the way. That
railroad superintendent by letter
told him the matter of his employ
ment was entirely in the hands of the
representatives of these unions. And
that the plaintiff had been q member
of the Order of Railway Conductors
but had resigned and had worked
during a strike.
The jury awarded Jones $4,000 and
costs. The court thereupon issued a
decree and went on to say:
The court approves and adopts the
verdict. The placing of the
bar against the defendant was
wholly unjustified, unwarranted and
unlawful and the defend
ants are hereby perpetually enjoined
from conSpiring to prevent the en-
ployment of tie plaintiff.
That, stripped of legal verbiage, is
the bare record of an interesting case.
The important point, aside from rec
tification of the fragrant injustice to
wh<h Jones was subjected. is that an
individual sued two powerful unions
and won a verdict before a jury. How
far that precedent may carry VIC do
not pretend to guess. But it adds
another to a growing roster of strik-
ing decisions.
The famous Danbury Hatters case
is well remembered. On June 5, last
year, Chief Justice Taft announced
the unanimous decision Of the SUI
preme Court in the Coronado Coal
case practically ruling that labor
unions are legal entities even if not
incorporated and laying down the
rule that while strikes will continue
to be lawful a union can be held re-
sponsible for damages and injuries
that may grow out of them. Rather
than stand trial in the civil suits for

Devils Grip"

Virginia. according to newspaper
accounts, has been suffering from an
epidemic which some of the victims
have called Devils Grip" 1t was
reported that there had been 1000
cases OF the disease in that state
with three deaths from it in Rich
mond. From the office OF the State
Department of Maine to the State
Board of Health of Virginia. an en-
quiry was sent as to whether this dis
ease with a new name was related to
the we'll known disease which goes
under the pane of influenza or grip.
The reply which came was that it is
not the same an influenza, but ap-
pears to be a definite entity.
\ circular letter sent to the physi-
clans in Virginia described the ~symp-
toms in brief as: Acute onset with
severe erigastric pain which may
extend to one or both sides of the
lower portion of the thoraX; the
pain is very severe and is increased
by deep breathing; so respiration is
shallow and rapid. rate forty to sixty

frequently observed; there is often
tenderness along the attachment of
the diaphragm; tempera ture usually
rises promptly and rapidly to 102 or
104, pulse so to 100. Patient looks
very ill: face is pinched or mod
erately cyanosed; about one third Of
cases have nausea and vomiting:
constipation is the rule: abdominal
distention is usual with muscular
risidity. After four to twelve hours
of severe pain and dyspnea, the pa
tient usually becomes more comfort
able: occasionally the pain lasts

have recurrence of symptoms with
