These men-two OF them are too

Harry Wills, negro, who estab-

Dempsey by beating Firpo.
Tommy Gibbons, the only man to
stay Is rounds with the champion.
Jack Renault, Canadian, who Is the
best young prospect
Eddie Huffman, sailor from Seat

good light-heavyweight from st.

The Necessary Machinery.
1t is not enough, however, that the
membership be educated to the neces-
sity for activity in all the fields above
indicated and then equipped with the
necessary policies. The party must
also be organized to put these policies
into effect. This the Program of Ac-
ton proposes to accomplish thru a
series of committees for its various
policies.
For an organization, whether it is
the w. p, trade union, or whatnot,
to legislate without creating the ma
chinery necessary to carry out it's de-
cisions is futile. Nothing is accom-
plished. Everyone engaged in any
kind of organized activity knows this

or the carrying on Of trade union

that as whole the party has neglect

GLIDING the bringing in of new mem

neglect the industrial work is also
quite marked, only a very small per-
centage of the members taking any
interest or part in it whatever. Ma
turally, the party suffers from this
tendency to neglect necessary work;
it fails to properly exploit the oppor-
tunity to develop itself into we'll

A leading principle of the program
of action aims TO correct this evil by
educating the party to the necessity

the bottom is going to drop out of

meantime the world of productive and
distribution business outside the eX-
changes goes merriiy on producing,
selling and making profits.
There are some bad spots. One Of
these is the textile industry. Another is
the copper market. Still another is the
situation in the northwest. Then there
is the hide and leather business.
In the textile industry neither manu-
facturers nor merchants have suffered.
so that despite the unsettled condition
there would be TO complaint If 1t were
no. for the serious unemployment in the
mills. Newspapers in the New England
textile country read like editions in
former panic days. The workers are suf-
fering severe curtailment of their earn
ing power. And the communities in
volved feel the effect in the resulting re-
iuced purchasing power. The trouble
lies in the raw cotton market The re
sistance of the mills to material prices
through curtaiIment is having its effect.
Cotton prices have continued to decline.
