labor became available was inteTprA ted by officials of the departments of commerce and labor as indicating an earnest desire on the part of the great steel interests to comply, though the actual accomplishment may be some what delayed.
 Labor shortages in the steel mills and the resulting recommendations of the manufacturers that the lmrnIgra- ton bars be lifted to admit the en- trance of more foreign steel workers, have been the subject of recent cab inet discussions, but thus far the ad- ministration has set it's face firmly against all proposals for the relaxa- ton of the present drastic restric- tions.
 When the immigration question comes up in the next congress, how ever, TT IS EXPECTED THAT CONDITIONS IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY WILL BE POINTED TO AS PROOF OF THE NECES- SITY FOR THE IMPORTATION OF ALIEN LABOR. But it is un- likely that any radical revision of the immigration laws will be effected by the new congress unless there should be change in the immigration policy Of Secretary Ot Labor DaV1S. he trend just now is to make the restric- tions rhore drastic than to make it easier for foreigners to get into this country.
 Judge Gary's letter to President Harding was not all pleasing to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who thinks the executive was unduly op- timistic in his Tacoma announceme at.
 Gompers later issued formal state ment:
 T advise the steel workrs not to expect too much as a result of the exchange of cordia1ities between the President and Gary. The Presidenr suggested to Mr. Gary that the 12- hour day might be abolished when there is surplus of labor available and Mr. Gary puts those words in quotation marks in his response and agrees with the grace and tact of a born diplomat that of course, it shall be as the President wishes.
 When there is a surplus of labor available the judge doubtless thinks wages can be cut and he doubtless hopes this Surplus may be hastened by wide open immigration

M'COY. FOREST : OF ALL BATTLERS
Could Get Other Fellows Goat
 Quicker Than Any Fighter.

Kid Mccoy was one of the trickiest of the larger fighting men.
 l Wasn't anything in the art of get
 ting the other fellows nerve that Nc ICoy failed to employ when a fight
 was to be won that way, and those
 who remember his "comeback"
 night he met big Jim Stewart in
 Philadelphia-wi1l never forget how
 the bout began. ...t- -.. In the first place Mccoy made cer-
 tain that he would be the first to en- ter the ring. Once in there he went into the first corner that came to. hand and sat huddled in his bathrobe talk ing to imaginary friends around the ring.
 When Stewart entered he noticed that Mccoy had not turned to greet him, so he walked across the canvas and held out his bond. Mccoy kept on talking to the mythical cronies. Finally Stewart reached down and touched Mccoy on the shoulder with Mccoy" Mister Mccoy looked over said, "Oh, hello, boy! and then turn ed away.
 He figured that the action would either enrage or intimidate Stewart While waiting in the center for in- structions, Mccoy deliberately step ped on Stewards corns. The referee gave his version of one-hand free hitting.
 Mccoy reached up like flash and jerking Stewards head down with a grip about the neck, remarked: Does this constitute one-hand hitting?" By this time poor Stewards nerves were so badly shattered that Mccoy had no difficulty in whipping him in a I limited bout.

Has Been Knocked Out Twice But That Was Before He Developed Gigantic Swat.

Jack Dempsey's rise from oblivion
 to championship was meteoric, and
 1t was through the power in his two
 great arms that he punched his way
 to the worlds heavyweight title
 Dempsey avoided no matches and was willing to meet any man named
 to oppose him. He was western product, born in Manassa, Col, June 24, 1895. Dempsey never was classed as a clever man, though he never . was given the rating of dub as a boxer But his ability to punch so dominated his entire ring career that all he had to do was to get inside the guard of his man and one punch was enough to place h's opponent on the road to defeat
 Beat Rrng Mastcdons.
 Dempsey came along just about the time that men of mastodonic prnpor- tions wer dominating the top in box ing. There was Jess Willard, mo-e than six feet and one-half in neigh: and weighing more than 25o pounds Fred Fulton, another contender nc. to overlook Carl Morris. who tower ed above six feet and Dempsey bowl ed over all opposition hastily. H. stopped Morris twice and ended Full toms aspirations in I8 seconds. Bill Brennan, Porky Flynn, Gunboat Smith, Battling Levinsky, Arthn. Pelky, Homer Smith, Jim Flynn, Ter ny Keller, Dan Ketche1 and Bob De- yer. were among his knockout vic tims. T
 1t was Dempsey's quick knockout over Fulton that virtually removed the last obstacle in his path for the, meeting with Willard And ring his- tory now records his decisive victory 1 over Willard in Toledo for the cham pionship.
 But Dempsey came to the front more rapidly than any other ring champion. He developed his boxing powers in no-decision bouts His :, early ring career did not cause much ! excitement. and the boxing records show that Dempsey's New York de- but was far from success. This was in 1916, when he was under the direc- ton of John Ahe Barber He fought John Lester Johnson at the old Har- lem Sporting Club and while 1t was a no-decision bout, Dempsey had couple of ribs broken by the power full colored fighter.
 Dempsey then returned to the west, l and 1t was in 1917 that he suffered the only knockout of his career, this at the hands of Fireman Jim Flynn. Dempsey, however, atoned for this by knocking iout Flynn in 1918. Ii

CARTS BLUFF ON
 EICHT-HOUR DAY,
 GOMPERS ANSWER
Steel Heads Purpose to Open Alien Flood Gates to Cheap
 Labor.

New York, July I3.-Verihcation of the steel industry's pledge to abolish the L2-hour workday, as given to President Harding, was made by Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, in state ment here.
 'Just when the I2-hour day will be abolished 1 cannot say," Gary stated. He said the future course of action would depend upon the labor situa- ton.
 "The abolition of the 12-hour day will mean an increase of 5 per cent. in the cost of production" Gary said. "If labor conditions continue to inn prove as rapidly in the future as they have in the past few months then the abolition will come just that much quicker.
 T personally have never been in favor of the, I2-hour day The steel corporation Is determined to assist and cooperate with President Hard ing Tn every way.
 "The abolition of the I2-hour day will be made just as quickly as possi- b1e."
 We shall have some difficulty in making adjustments which will satis- fly large numbers of our workmen, ? Gary said Many of them, pafticu- Iarly those of the foreign element, . desire to work longer hours because 1t means a larger pay.
 President HardingIhas been very earnest in his effort to secure the abolition of the I2-hour day in the steel industry. He is very earnest and consistent and persistent Presi- dent and when he thinks he is in the right he is particularly strong.
 "He will receive a fair measure of our support and Seo-operation in this undertaking.
 Progress towards abolishing the I2-hour day within the last IA months has been rapid and I believe that the end will be attained within a com paratively short time, provided that the increase in the number of work lmen which now seems apparent con tinues," the judge added.
 Gary revealed that the directors of the American Iron and Steel 1nstl- tute have been called into session to discuss the abolition of the I2-hour day. This action was taken, Gary said, after receipt of the President s letter of June Io.
 Washington, July I3.-Of1cials of the American Federation of Labor de- precate the progress claimed by Pres ident Harding in his campaign to eliminate the 12-hour work day in American industry, as revealed by his announcement before sailing for Alaska Labor "smoked" out some of the officials" and found the "nigger in the woodpile" as follows:

DEMPSEY PUNCHED WAY TO
 FAME IN PUGILISTIC ARENA
Greatest of Hitters.

1 But 1t was Dempsey's ability tc !, punch Willard into submission so de clsVely that won for h1m not only the ., admlrat1on and respect of ring toI 1 lowers, but the experts acclaim as the greatest hitter that ever wore . heavyweight title. Previous to this
 critics bemoaned the tact that we had no more h1tterS ot the class Ot John
 L. Sullivan and Bob F1tzsimmons.
 But Dempsey IS here and in the few bouts he has had since he won the title no man has stayed the limit until
 ne met Gibbons, His victims were
 billy Miske, Bill Brennan and Georges ICarpentier Miske had been counted l upon to give h1m battle, as in two previous bouts, one at 10 rounds and
 the other at six rounds, Mlske had gwen Dempsey a good fight, only to lose on points.
 Dempsey holds the distinction Of boxing before the greatest crowd that
 ever saw boxing bout in ring his
 tory. More than oo,ooo persons were in the big bowl at Boyle's Thirty Acres on the afternoon ot July, 1921, when he knocked out Carpenter in the fourth round, and the same oo,ooo paid more than $1,5oo,ooo to see what was classed as the battle of the cen- tury."
 William Harrison Dempsey, better known as Jack, was the sixth child Ill a family of eight. Three brothers and three sisters are living, as well as his parents. His parents moved from Manassa to Montrose, Col, while Dempsey was still boy but now the official residence of the Dernpseys is in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dempsey has profted financially from his ring efforts, and he has not forgotten his parents. He purchased a beautiful home in Salt Lake City and present. ed it to his father and mother. Afte& every battle Dempsey's first trip is to Salt Lake City.
 Forty-Six Knockouts.
 Dempsey has taken part in 68 ring | battles and has compiled 40 knock l outs.' He lost one on knockout, wo on decisions and is credited with wo official draws.
 Dempsey IS one of the Beau Brum- ne1s of the ring. Not only on the street and in his home is he always attired neatly, but around his train ng camp he insists on everything modern, quite contrast to the. old lays when ring warriors thought of lothing but getting in condition and he fight. Dempsey has been on the tage at various times since becoming |, hampion and has developed into a cal actor This troining, apparently, I las helped him in his ring career, for Dempsey, the champion, is an afable, friendly fellow, and has won for him elf many friends and large follow ng.

CRITICS OF MINERS UNION FORGET PERHS
 FACED BY WORKERS
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service. Washington, D. C., July 2o.-An- thracite coal mining IS one of the most dangerous occupations in the country. This fact seems to be for gotten by those folk who do no more dangerous work than to sit behind a rolltop desk and look wise yet who denounce the miner for asking high CT, wages and better working condi- tions.
 President Lewis recently pointed
 out that the miners daily undergo dangers of which the average person has no conception. That his state ment on the perils of mining did not exaggerate the situation in the least is admitted by authorities on coal mining.
 Every year one mine worker in 27o IS killed and one in seven IS injured, Hilmar Stephen Raushenbush, of the Bureau of Industrial Research, says in his new book on "The Anthracite Question" He gives the following table of accidents in recent years:

::'The extent to which this annual casualty list is due to the inability to secure capital for safety improve ments, or due to the lack of desire to install them is fit topic for perma- nent report by some competent au- thority,'' says MT. Raushenbush.
 Though Mr. Raushenbush express es doubt as to what has been respon- sble for the failure to install safety impr ovements he indicates in a para graph which follows that Hack of de- sire" is the real reasont He says:
 "The history of mining laws, pro viding mainly for safeguards and inA spection, shows that each advance was made only as the consequence of a new horrible disaster and that each bill was fought consistently by the coal companies.

Oil in Montana a
Dream in Early Days


Oil in Montana, a dream Of
early settlers, became a reality
in November. 1919, and an in
dustry in 1920. In 1922 its five
oil felds-Cat Creek, Elk Basin,
Devils Basin, Soap Creek and
Kevin-were centers great
activity. Production from these
fields, which doubled in 1922,
now amounts to something over
5000 barrels daily. Montana's
output for 1922, estimated by the
U. S. Geological Survey, was g.
352,0 900 barrels.

Oil Products Con- Z
sumption Gains

In surveying the various con-
Editions affecting oil consumption
throughout the United States, as
compared with production factors
declines in imports from Mexico
have played the most important
part: january, 1922, crude and
topped oils imported from the
Mexico fields averaged 2,355,6H
barrels daily as compared with
248, 1906 barrels a day in December
the close of the year. Domestic
production opened in 1922 with
43, al 900 barrels total for jan
uary and closed n December
with so, 1871 900 barrels, Increase
in consumption is pretty gener-
ally attributed to the rapid in
crease in the use of automobiles.
The increase in registrations OF
automobiles and trucks during
1922 aggregated 17.6 per cent.
This increase was directly the
result of big price reduction on
machines, and this influence is
still operative.
Further increase in the con-
sumption of petroleum products
are attributed to the increase in
the total amount of refined pro-
ducts exported. In January. 1922,
213, 791, 297 gallons of refined pro-
ducts were shipped from the U.
S. to foreign destinations while
in December 1922, the total was
227, 279, 637 gallons or an increase
Of 6 per cent.
1t is shown by 1922 petroleum
statistics that conditions are OPP
erative to force consumption to
new high levels in 1923, with
every indication that production
throughout the United States
will not be able to keep up with
the demand.
