OPEN SHOPPER
TRIES TRICKS
ON u. S. SEAMEN
Compensation Law Not
What 1t Looks Like

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Andrew
Furuseth, president of the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union of America.
has begun a fight which he will car
ry before committees of the house
and senate next winter, to safeguard
the present legal right of seamen to
sue for damages in Industrial acct
dent cases.
Sounds Good But Isn't.
w. J. Petersen, manager Of the Pa.
cific coast anti.union shipping offices
and lobbyist before congress for the
steamship lines. is now circulating a
petition asking congress to include
seamen with the longshoremen and
ship repairmen in a compensation act.
The Seamen's Union is resisting
this move on the ground that it re-
duces their existing legal chance Of
payment for injury.
Petersen admitted before the house
committee last spring that injured
sailors often nall the companies for
thousands Of dollars in damages.
Longshoremen and repairmen are
generally unable to get damages In
the courts, and hence seek a definite
compensation schedule under federal
administration.
In its official journal the Seamen's
Union tells sailors that they need not
forfeit their Jobs by refusal to sign
Petersens petition.

When word that state factory in

ployers ears, he had his foreman di-

Ing till seven. After the inspector
came and saw nothing wrong-on the
cards-the foreman filed his own
sworn statement that what the in
spector saw on the cards represent
ed the true state of AFFAIRS.
The striking girls say that they
were told to answer the inspector, If
he questioned them, that they only
worked to $50. The union hopes to
push prosecution OF this law-yiolating
manufacturer as an example to 9TH

workers to realization OF what the
union can do for them.

Lawrence tsxtile strikers in 1919.
The week before the strike four
surly members OF the New York DO
lice industrial squad came swinging
into union headquarters, searching
business agents, union officers, and by
their manner intimidating workers in
the hall. Police and thugs hired by
employers are plentiful in the strike
areas, particularly at the Speciality
Paper Box Co. In Brooklyn. This firm
secured an Injunction in September
before the strike-in an effort to
check union organization activities
among its workers.

 The pitchers were doing yeoman work on the rubber until the sixth when again the Boys Club scored two more runs. Chester beat out an infield hit along the first base line, and went to second when Jer- wis walked. He was trapped between second and third and thrown out. Boehnart sent a long single to cen terfield and Jervis scored. An in- field misplay on Neverauskie's grounder saw another tally come in. This was the last of the scoring done by the club team.

INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE
Three Games To Be Played This Afternoon At Willow Brook Park On Two Diamonds.

Today will be the second last day in the schedule of the New Britain Industrial league, but 1t will not end the play of the teams entered in the loop because of the numerous post poned games in the works. This afternoon at Willow Brook park there will be three games played. The Stanley Rule & Level and New Britain Machine game will not be played owing to the fact that a number of the Newmatics are go- ing away over the weekend. No date for this game has been set. This was 10 have been played on Diamond No. at o'clock.
 The three games which will be played are as follows: Stanley Works against Fafnir on Diamond No. 1 at 2 o'clock; P X r. Corbin on Diamond No. at o'clock and Landers against R. X E. on Diamond No. at f o'clock.
 The feature game of the afternoon will be the clash between Landers and the Russwin crew. The R. & E. team confidently expects to dump the Universals, but this is going to be a hard job. The Uniyersals all litter when they hear this proud boast of the Lock Makers but they also remember an upset by a dark horse sailing along under the same colors, the R. & F., that happened in the Industrial Basketball league last winter, For this reason, there will be no fooling on either side to- day.

mound and their slants had the bat ters puzzled all the time. Few hits were punched out during the after noon. Both pitched a game that would win any ball game but when two teams hitting about the same, stack up against each other there must be a loser. So Ferony took the short end in the score when he allowed the Boys Club but four hits Schmarr was touched for six blows but they were so far between that no damage was done.
 With men on the bases the twirl- CTS were at their best but at times the support of their mates failed. In the second frame the Club scored twice when Gotawalla walked. A felder's choice and an error placed
 him on third and Zembrowski on second. A sacrifice hit off the bat
 of Chester saw Gotawalla score, while Zembrowski was tagged out
 at the plate. Chester took second

CORBETT NOW SEEN
 STANDING IN PATH
Former Champ Claims Rights to
 Sesqui Fight

Philadelphia, Aug. .1 tF -- A name familiar to boxing fans of a generation ago-James D. Corbett, a former worlds heavyweight cham pion-has been injected into threat ened court actions and other diff culties that have beset the Jack Dempsey-Geno Tunney champion ship fight since arrangements for the battle were started several weeks ago.
 Driven from New York to Chicago and back again and then to Phila- delphia because of various legal and other entanglemcnts, Tex Rickard, promoter of the fight. believed he had finally seen the light of day" Then, at about the same time an- nouncement was made that tickets for the fight would be placed on sale next week, it was learned that John II. McDevitt, counsel for Cor bett would advise the latter to seek an injunction to prevent the battle on the ground that Corbett had priority over all claims for such a. contest.
 McDevitt asserted that Corbett had made plans to promote five in- ternational bouts in the sesqucen- tennial exposition stadium, one of which would be Dempsey Wills match. Corbctt had the champions approval for this contest, McDeyitt said adding that the plans also had the approval of two officials of tho exposition who have since resigned. | Another reported obstacle to | Richards arrangements further pre- sented itself yesterday when an at torney for Taylor and Ciunnis, local boxing promoters conferred with | Mayor Kendrick in connection with an alleged contract or agreement which that firm claims 1t has with exposition officials giving it the ex- elusive right to stage boxng bouts i in the exposition stadium.
 It Is understood, however, that Taylor and Gunnis do not contem- plate any legal action to prevent the Dempsey -Tunney match, but that they feel they should be compensat- ed for certain expenses said to have been incurred in seeking to promote a Dempsey-Will bout here.
 No organized ministerial opposi- ton to the fight has been made yet, although several individual protests have been reported. That the reli- gious organizations would "express themselves strongly in the matter,
 was the prediction made by the
 Rev. George P. Pence, president ot the Presbyterian Ministers associa- ton of Philadelphia.

 New York. Aug. 2I PITwo French champions. claimants of Eu- ropean boxing titles, have fallen be- fore Americans of their weight but a third, Little Andre Routis. has beaten one of the leaders on this side, Eddie Anderson of Wyoming.
 Johnny Dundee, hero of more than 4oo battles within the ropes, last night conquered the man who claimed to have forced him to leave France, Fred Bretonnel. The little Italian. former featherweight cham pion of the world, won a ten-round decision over the Frenchman at Eb- bets field and he virtually did it with one hand.

 Paul Berlenbach made short work of the light heavyweight champion of Europe. Francis Charles, knock ing him out in the first round. Charles received three Berlenbach blows and was in such a sorry con- dition that the referee stopped the bout. Berlenbach lost the world title to Jack Delaney last month.
 Andre Rowtis, however, was diff ferent from the others. He dashed out at the start and kept up his of fensive to win the 10-round deci- sion over Anderson.
