RICHARD ANNOUNCES
 MATCH FOR DEMPSEY
Plans to Pit Him Against Both Gibbons and
 Wills
By The Associated Press.

New York, Jan. 17.-Tex Rickard expects to match Jack Dempsey for a title fight in June with either Tom Gibbons or Harry Wills, in spite of the champions announcement that he will retire from the ring and marry this spring. The promoter said he hadf no ] definite agreement with Jack Keafns the champions manager, but ex- pressed confidence the ampion would accept his terms for at least one fight this year and possibly two.
 Richards plan would be to match Dempsey in a return go with Gib- bons early in June, either at the Yankee stadium or Boyle's Thirty Acres. If victorious. the titleholder then would be sought for the long awaited bout with Wills ncgroe chal lenger, in September.
 If the champion declines more than one bout, however, Rickard will give him a choice of either Gibbons or Wills as an opponent. Both of these contenders have agreements with Rickard for title matches.
 T do not take seriously Dempsey's threat to retire." Rickard declared. Even if he goes through with it, l expect him to take on at least one more opponent to prove his undis- puted supremacy before relinquish- ing his crown"
 The promoter said he expected Kcarns to visit New York in few weeks to discuss terms for one or two title matches this year.

These were among the striking
statements made by Harry F. Ward

at the town hall to welcome him back

izing tendencies there are on the i'm
crease. Considerable liberty exists
with regard to criticizing acts of the
administration. Repression is felt only
when criticizing the fundamental prin-
ciples of the existing institutions. But
then, we in America do not treat with
great consideration those who ques-
ton the fundamentals of the Amer

we have as much freedom now as we
have is because those who are inter-

If great Britain succeeds in her

forced to take stronger repressive

Dr. Ward declared that there were

PAXTON HIBBEN,
IN MOSCOW, SEES
GREAT CHANGES
Hopes u. S. Recognition
Comes This Winter
Especial to The Daily wOrkerj

MOSCOW, Sept. 1O.-(By Mail)-
Captain Paxton Hibben of the Amer
lean army arrived here lately Mr.
Hibben was in Russia in 1905-06 as
secretary of the American Embassy.
In 1921 he came to Russia with the
American commission to visit famine
districts and made a report which
served as a basis for the American
Relief Association and in 1922 he
visited Moscow at the head Of the
Children Relief Committee.
In 1928 he was brought to trial
being accused in America Of publish
ing articles and delivering speeches
in favor of recognition of the U. S.
S. R. and for participation in the
Society of Friends of Soviet Russia.
The Hibben case was dragging for a
long time and caused sensation in the
United States.
An ex-Russian officer who confessed
to being an agent of Grand Duke
Cyril was called as the chief witness
against him. The court gave no
verdict and Hibben retained his rank
of captain of the American army.
In an interview with a press cor
respondent, Captain Hibben said:
Il notice enormous changes in the
U. s. S. r. since 1922. The workers
and peasants Republic is showing
great energy in reconstruction Of the
country, especially in technical
science. hope that the United
States will soon recognize Russia.
Il know many influential people
who before were against recognition
but afterwards became ardent adher-
ents to this idea. Senator Borah as
it is known is a most influential men,
Der of the senate who stands for re-
cognition, and I hope that he will be
successful when there will be winter
session of congress in December"

workers and peasants would not real
ize their enslavement. Both of these
tasks were very difficult, he admitted.
Japan was described by DR.. Ward
as reaching out for the economic adj
vantages Of an agreement with Russia,
while trying to shut out Bolshevist
ideas-"a difficult task" In China, he
said, he was questioned by the chan
cellor of a university where he was
to speak on Communism, to see whe-
Their his views were sufficiently radio
al to be put before the students,
among whom there was a strong Com
munist spirit. In India he was not
allowed by the British government to
speak on Russia to the Hindu stu
dents.
Until the ownership Of natural re-
sources, of manufacturing and finance
capital, and of labor power, is settled"
concluded DR.. Ward, "the world is on
a war footing, and civil liberties can.

DID YOU Get A
VACATION WITH
PAY THIS YEAR?
No Rest for Wicked
Workers Is Rule
BY LELAND oLDs,
Federated Press Industrial Ed


Now that the vacation season il
about over, how about yours? Have
you had your two weeks fishing trip
with pay? This question is raised
for every wage worker by bulletin
on vacation policies in manufacture
ing industries issued by the New York
state department of labor
According to this report the chances
are nine to one that you had your
vacation with pay if you are an office
worker but six to one that you didn't
If you engaged in actually producing
the goods.
No Rest For Wicked Workers.
Out of 1900 plants investigated,
the department found 1860 or 81
per cent with vacation policies for
office workers, 1921 or 6S per cent
with vacation policies for foremen
but only 27O or IS per cent with such
policies for their productive workers.
Vacations for productive workers
are, however, more common in large
plants than in small ones, the proper
ton of plants with more than 500
employees running as high as 80 per
cent
Productive workers also receive
less favorable treatment in length of
vacation allowed and in length of
service required to qualify for vaca-
ton privileges. Where a majority
of the Office workers receive two
weeks vacation the productive work
ers receive only one week
And where a large proportion of
the office workers qualify for vaca-
tions after six months and practical
ly all after a years service, product
i've workers must put in from one to
two years to qualify. AS a result
a considerable proportion of the work
ers do not have vacations even in
factories with vacation policies.
Different from Russia.
On this question Russia, where I'M
ions are recognized part of the in
dustrial order, presents a strong con-
trast. There the finest country
estates are being developed as worker
rest homes and vacations with pay are
a regular feature of union agreements.
In the Baku oil field, to cite a single
instance mentioned in the British
trade union delegation report, leach
worker who has completed five and
one-half months service becomes
eligible for fortnight's yearly holt
day on full pay"

LABOR PARTY BAR
ON COMMUNISTS
PROVEN FAILURE
British L. P. Official Re-
lates Experience
Especial to The uaIly worker)

LONDON, Oct 15.-How the in.
sistence of the yellow socialist lead
ers of the British labor party on ex.
clusion of the Communists seither de-
stroys the necessary unity of labor
or is ignored by local labor party
sections, is shown by an article by
Will Crick, president of the Rush.
ohm divisional labor party, member
of the executive of the Manchester
borough labor party and president
of Branch 5, of the Transport and
General Workers Union.
"The passing of resolution to
keep the Communists out, is easy
says Crick, but its putting into effect
is up an entirely different street; and
many local labor parties have found"
Disaster to Bar Communists.
"In Manchester many attempts have
been made to apply the decision, but
IN each occasion the attempt has
been abandoned only when the
movement has been almost over,
WH6lu6u III QlSdSl6T.
1.-THE Manchester borough labor
party refused to accept Communists
as delegates, and yet, in full know
ledge of this decision, the Manchester
and Stafford Trades Council elected
two Communists amongst it's dele
gates to the borough labor party.
1.-THE Manchester and Stafford Trades
Council even elected Communist as
it's president.
"The borough labor party acting
on the L. P. decisions, refused to
accept these delegates, and requested
the TRADES Council to appoint others
who were not Communists, but the
latter body reafirmed its previous de-
cisions, and said the borough labor
party must accept its already properly
appointed delegates or none at all
Had to ignore L. P. Rule.
"The laborsparty refused to accept
them, and then came the inevitable
split forced by the right wing. What
a spectacle.
Finally, better counsel prevailed
and unity between the two bodies
was attained by the labor party
climbing down, reversing its decision,
ignoring the national conference de-
cision and accepting the Communist
delegates.
Local Unions Supported Communists.
Even trade union branches affiliat-
ed to the borough labor party were
up in arms. One branch of the Ma
tional Railwaymen's Union instructed
its Communist delegates to sit tight
and refuse to leave when asked. An
I, malgamated Engineers Union branch
~ithdrew it's non-Communist delegate
and appointed Communist instead.
"The Rusholme divisional labor
party has now had the experience of
two parliamentary elections with the
Communist William Paul as candi-
date, and it can be definitely stated
that it never fought two finer cleo
lions. Communists and all the rest
rubbed shoulders and gave a real in
sight of what can be accomplished
when unity prevails. A representative
election committee was set up and it's
decisions were unsweringly carried
out by all.
Communists Worked Loyalty.
"As election agent for the Com
munist Paul in the last fight, 1 can
testify to the fact that my instructions
as agent were implicitly carried out
by the Manchester members of the
Communist Party and the Young
Communist League, who were ever
eager to perform even the humblest
task"
