WATCH YOUR STEP MIR. CON
SUMER.

Local conditions will suffer very
little as far as the present coal strike
is concerned in the hard coal fields
of Pennsylvania. Several years ago
we would have suffered to a great
extent Five or six years ago this
community would use at least % cars
of hard coal year. But today the
baseburners are a thing of the past
and instead we have the warm ali
furnaces to take its place. Car after
car of baseburners from this district
was shipped back to the state of Penn
sylvana. There is a possibility of the
soft coal miners joining the hard coal
miners and if this takes place it will
hit us and hit us hard. So it will be
wise thing to purchase your coal
now and play safe.

The League of Nations now has an
opportunity to prove its value from a
humanitarian standpoint. Inves.i-
gators sent to Portuguese Africa by
Prof. Edward Alsworth Ross, of the
University of Wisconsin, are prepared
to make a report to the League di:-
closing the degrading conditions OF
compulsory labor in that country.
/ According to the Investigators re-
port the condition is one of actual
serfdom, though the slaves of Portu-
guese Africa were freed fifteen years
ago. The chief abuse of the govern
ment seems to be a disposition e
withhold a large part Of the wages
earned by the black men who are
forced to work whether they wish tc
or not. The work is chiefly done on
government roads and many of the
Africans are forced to spend so much
of their time working for the state
that no time is left to improve theil
insignificant farms. SO much labor
is thus required that the younger men
apparently gain nothing by prepar-
ing themselves for skilled labor
The abuses include short rations
CONSUMPTION, insignificant wages
part of which they never receive
labor stealing represented in the over
seers' refusal to pay for half days
or whole days of labor, refusal &c
guard the rights of the native Afri-
cans against the dealings of un-
scrupulous white traders, extortior
and immoral treatment of native
women.
That such conditions should exist
anywhere under the supervision of q
civilized government is hard to be-
lieve, but if the Investigators report
is true this is exactly what wa,
found. The report will be presented
to the League of Nations in the hope
that that body will improve conditions

The Urbana city council viii TAX
| up the question Of Sunday movie
again next Monday night, having de
ferred action until that date. Lobby
lists from both sides were out in full
force when the question was presente,
August 3, when it was expected tina
the council would terminate the con
troversy one way or the other.
While Labor has taken no ofricia
stand for or against Sunday movie.
it is generally known that many labor
ing men are in favor Of permitting
managers of local theatres to open
their houses in both Champaign and
Urbana on Sunday. 1t is to be as
sumed, however, that the sentiment Of
Labor Is not unanimous on this side
of the question. Many laboring men
are identified with churches that have
taken decisive stand against the
shows, and it is to be presumed that
they will endorse the action of the
clergymen who have entered a siren
uous protest.
To The Review it seems that the
only fair way in which the question
can be settled is to put it to a popular
vote in both cities. Doubtless Cham
paign theatre managers are only
waiting to see what success the Ur-
bana theatres will have before at
to swing the sentiment Of
this city in line with their plan to
open Sunday shows.
A vote on the question will settle
the matter for several years at least.
Arbitrary action of the council on
either side will subject the mayor and
aldermen to much criticism, and will
not prevent the question coming up
again within a few months.
While the council has a legal right
to pass an ordinance forbidding Sun
day shows, or to table indefinitely any
motion suggesting such an ordinance,
the question is one which, in the very
nature of the case, should be decided
by the people.
Sunday movies are not of such a
serious character as to be dealt with
as a nuisance, or positive evil. Much
can be said against the type of shows
to which the public is treated, bat
any criticism of this nature applies 10
k-day as well as Sunday shows
The chief evil in all shows lies not in
the day, but in the general character
of the plots.

Champaign and Urbana are soon to
have what Organized Labor has ad-
vocated for several years-bus lines
running to the residential districts
that are not provided the necessary
transportation by street cars. Two of
these busses will soon be installed.
One to carry passengers from the
University district and one to cover
the new addition of Urbana in the
vicinity of Washington street.
With the convenience of such trans.
portation facilities it will no longer be
impractical for working man to live

English Labor leaders favor special
training for leadership in Labor un-
ions, so that organized labor will be
assured of competent leaders in the
future. But specialized education, if
we are rightly informed, stops with
the specialist in England-at least
according to this plan.
There are many objections to voca-
tional training where it is allowed to
suoersede general education. The
tendency naturally is to create a class
from which none can rise to prom.
inence in political affairs, in socia
affairs or in the matter of accumulat
ing wealth. Another objection is that
as result of this sort of caste sys.
tenn the children of laboring parents
are likely to marry only those of theil
own class and as a consequence there
is no democratic intermixture Of
classes. 1t seems that no better plar
could be devised to insure a laborei

land. The tendency of the whole
scheme is to revert back to the day.

TOUSSAINT WINS

In what was the most thrilling

Haywood Toussaint, the st. Paul box
er whose poundage of $50 is scatter
ed over the acreage of six feet and
two long inches of human bones,
matched radio wits with Jimmy Peck
of Minneapolis, an amateur whose
knowledge of boxing was conspicuous
for its absence. Toussaint's knowl-
edge of tuning in enabled him to
connect now and then after a broad
cast of wild punches that might have
hung up on anybody's receiver from
ringside to gallery.
The st. Paul boy was given the de-
cision after all punches had descend
ed from the roof and were gathered
up and assorted. Toussaint can be
developed into a good boxer with the
proper routine of instruction.

NEW LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION

t>AIN AhoAAA w AIAOA1 SAAANh AoN
With the change of the lightweight
title to the hands of Rocky Kansas,
the sturdy, hard-hitting veteran of
Buffalo, interest will no doubt be
stimulated in that division, which
had become practically dormant be-
cause not contender could be found
who would give Benny Leonard any
trouble in retaining his honors as
lightweight king.
The result was a tournament in
that division to select a new cham
pion after the retirement of Leonard,
the outcome of which vested the title
in the hands of Jimmy Goodrich of
Buffalo. Goodrich claimed a foul in
a go with Sammy Mandell, paving
his way to the final with Loyayo, the
South American, who proved setup.

a champion who will wear the crown
for some time to come.
