N. ]. UNIONISTS
FIND PICKETINC
LAW DON'T help

WILDWOOD, N. J., Sept. 24.-The
convention of the New Jersey State
Federation of Labor defeated Henry
F. Hilfers, its secretary for II years,
replacing him with Hugh v. Reilly Of
the Newark machinists. Reilly gain
ed his support from the carpenters,
iron workers and the Hudson county
delegation besides his own.
The legislative committee Of the
New Jersey state federation Of la
Dor was instructed by the Wildwood
convention to prepare a bill amending
the 1918 law to provide for a 44-hour
week for state, county and municipal
work.
The committee likewise was in
structed to take up the question Of
obtaining more effective legislation
for peaceful picketing. The picket
ing law that went into effect July 4,
1926, has proven Joker and of no ad-
vantage to New Jersey organized la
Dor, although the unions backed the
bill hoping for gain against injunc-
tions.
The convention endorsed Theodore
M. Brandle's attack on the port of
New York authority committee.
Brandle, Hudson county union head,
charged the port authority with ia
voring open shop employers with the
contracts for certain building con-
struction Jobs. ex-governor George S.
Silzer is implicated in the deal by
Brandle. Contracts amounting TO
100000 are involved.
The 4Sth annual New Jersey state
federation Of labor conventions en-
dorsement was answer to Silzer's
statement that Brandle was not back
ed by organized labor. Brandle said
that the bidding was limited to firms
unfair to labor and that ian examina
ton OF the bids had led interested
parties to suspect there had been
collision among the bidders"
The superstructures for two bridges
connecting Staten Island and New
Jersey are the jobs concerned. AL
New Jersey building trades unions
are particularly interested in tn,
fight for union labor on these pub
lie works.

WILkEsRARRE, Pa, Sept. 2s-The
experience Of the miners OF District
I, under the CappeIlni regime shows
that there Is more than one way Of
breaking down the working condl-
tlons.
In some instances, officials simply
refuse or neglect to take up and fight
violations Of the agreement The com
panies then are able, thru establishing
presidents, to continue contract VIC
lations such as refusal to pay for
rock work, timbering, etc.
But the operators also can be favor
ed and miners conditions made worse,
productions increased without ad-
dttonal pay, by TAKING UP GER
TAIN CASES. All previous officials Of
District have carefully refrained
from trying to secure decisions on re-
strictions Of output by the miners,
moving that no contract ever nego-
ttatsd has contained a clause allowing
this, and believing, quite correctly,
mat any attempt to argue such cases
would result in decision against the
unapn.
~RsstrictIon of Output"
But one OF Pres. Cappellini's first
cases dealt with restriction Of out
put He lost the case-as he doubtless
expected he would and the speed-up
system Of the operators is bulwarked
now BY legal conference decision.
Another case which brought a de-
feat and much greater demand up
on the coal diggers, because Of Cap
pellini's policy, was that dealing with
topping" (the technical term for coal
piled up above the side boards Of the
carl. In this case, President Capped
hni made an issue OF the demands Of
the company for six inch topping
written into the agreement In cold
type, and, of course, was beaten, and
had another precedent established
which the operators now take the full
est advantage OF.
More Coal For Operators.
What this means to the miners is
easily understood when It Is known
that in order to have six inches Of
topping on car at the breaker it is
necessary to load from IL to "a inches
Of topping at the face due to the loss
in transit.
The miners therefore, are loading
from one-half % one ton more per car
than they were before CappelIini
fought" these cases. AS we said in
the beginning there is more than one
way Of aiding the operators. 1t can
be done Just as well in some instances
by taking up cases, as by neglecting
them. Cappealnfs policy seems to
ezubody both OF these features.

A S ails Brutality of
Passaic Police

PASSAIC, N. j., Sept. 24.-Declaring
that there are two PASSAGES, one clean,
tree-lined, with luxurious homes; the
other dirty, with narrow streets, dark,
miserable homes, the Rev. Norman w.
Pendleton, pastor of the Rutherford
congregational church, Rutherford, in
his sermon last evening scored the
mill owners for their cold-hearted atti-
tude towards their workers and criti-
cized the protestant churches for the
unworthy part they have played in the
big strike.
AssalIs Police.
Rev. Pendleton told his congrega-
ton he had seen with his own eyes
the unnecessary brutality Of the po-
lice and had watched the strikers
peacefully picketing the mills:
81 have watched the strikers march,
at a snaiPs pace. along the sidewalks;
many of them boys ana girls, singing
their songs of Brotherhood and Soil
darby harmless as a Sunday school
picnic.
Saw Brutality.
81 have watched the unnecessary
brutality of uniformed officials. lis
tened to the Rev. John Hayes Holmes
make an eloquent plea for the triumph
Of true Americanism and the vindica-
ton of constitutional rights, and saw
a nervous sheriff lose self-control and
make himself foolish. And thru 1t all
have marvelled at the power of
these people to hold themselves in,
to hold their peace, when it would
seem that there was almost evident
purpose to drive them to violence"

The lamb slew the butcher, yes. But
it was an active, vigorous lamb and
weary, sagging old butcher who
showed upon a face that once was
famous for its perfect delineation of
the fighting man, a careworn and tor
tured expression.

The experts" who said that Demp-
sey was in the pink Of fighting condi-
ton should wash their mouths with
soap. This veteran reporter, who has
taken in every important boxing
match Of his period, and that ranges
back few years, has never seen a
sorrier defender Of title since that
pltiful afternoon in Reno, when Jim
Jeffries staggered forth to do battle
with Johnson.
Dempsey UNIT.
It took no sharpshooter to call the
turn. 1t required no referee or meticul-
ously chosen judges. Before Jack
Dempsey, the killer of old, had drag
ged his istless and lifeless carcass
half way across the soggy ring at the
clang of the opening gong, it was a
foregone cinch. The man was unfit
to fight. No contender in history ever
got the break that Tunney did-weigh-
ing 1876 pounds, defensive boxer, a
$3.50 hitter and a 3-to-1 outsider,
catching the champion Of champions in
such situation and coming out the
monarch of pugilism.
The whole business was of key.
Fancy a heavyweight king, who drew
$4,000 people and 100000 never
being introduced, and the alleged
aspirant not even rising to take bow
when his name was called.
II Was Raining.
1t was raining. Tex Richard had
taken his pitcher to the well once too
often. He had put on seemingly end
less preliminaries, meaningless com
bats between unimportant nobodys,
until far after nine-thirty. And by the
time Dempsey and Tunney got into
the ring, it was pouring so that. no
one cared much about anything. Then
they started taping-yards and yards
of gauze they wound about the hands
Of the supposedly two best gladiators
In the whole world.
And when it finally started, it was
wetter than ever. Dempsey, that
notorious devastating mauler, shuffled
out of his corner with the look of a
school boy caught playing hookey-as
indeed, he had, for more than two
years.
Tunney Nervous.
Tunney was as nervous as bride,
sparring, backing, boxing until it
dawned on him that he was roped in
with a phantom, a shadow without
substance.
Even then he never assumed the ag-
gressive, except in the last two rounds
when he had the championship in his
hand and should have taken no
chances.
An astoundingly stupid fighter is
this Tunney. He won every round

JACK lat SAYS GAMBLERS WON
DEMPSEY TUNNEY FIGHT IN PHILLY

from what had been truly miraculous
champion, and yet he came forth con
victed of almost every misdemeanor
known to smart ring generalship. He
could have knocked Dempsey out in
the first round il he had forced his
way; he should have dispatched him
in any Of the following rounds. But,
when he had the world to gain he was
careful, and when he was already
champion before the decision that
made him so, he was undecided, now
forcing 1t, again taking to his heels.
Dempsey Green.
Dempsey was a pathetic spectacle.
He started with his face green. Set
in a silly grin. He tried to put on the
snarl of the murderer, but his features
wouldn't respond because his heart
wasn't in 1t. After he got few cracks
to his jaw, he folded up as he did in
the first eleven rounds of his match
with the late Bill Brennan.
Splitting gobs of blood, his left eye
closed tight, his right cut and bleed
ing from ragged wound, he bobbed
and crouched and missed and swung
and puffed and tried to look ferocious.
Like grotesque, synthetic thing,
his tailormade nose stood forth in the
middle of the face like some fantas-
tic butterfly that had fluttered into
slaughter-house.
Misses A Mile.
Tunney, a second-class defensive
boxer, couldn't stay away from him.
Dempsey kept leading, following,
plunging in and missing mile, and
Tunney had to strike at him through
sense OF shame. It would have been
sin not to hit him under the cir
cumstances.
Dempsey scarcely laid glove on
Tunney. The few times that he did
connect, always at the start of
round, those blows which of old were
enough to send the crowd home were
steamless, spiritless and stingless.
No power, no heart, no soul in them
Dempsey may have entered the ring
with an honest desire and intention to
win, but It failed him after the first
counter punch that nailed him on'his
nice new nose.
Dempsey Weak.
After that he stalled, with an oc-
casional sporadic furry of going
through the gestures of fighting.
The whole tragedy just showed
again that being champion spoils a
good fighter, and keeping out of the
ring kills champion.
Dempsey never was much shucks
against fighter that kept moving
and Tunney did that-he kept moving,
mostly backward but stll kept NOV
ing. Jack loves them big, anchored
and flat-foOted. Tunney is none of
these. He made a sucker out of our
Jack, being made to order for the job
Bookles Won.
The first good heavyweight that
meets Tunney will beat him. At best
he is one of the better lighter heavy
men, no matter what his weight. Mum
Hanson, Personnel to say Wills
would swallow him like an oyster. And
he is the heavyweight champion to-
day.
ANYWAY, THE BooKIEs PAID

which Mussolini is the head.

property In Italy.

With the original copy Of this de-
cree Vacirca presented to the board an
editorial published by the "Po~olo D.
Itallia,' a fascist organ founded by
Mussolini and edited by his brother,
melting the fascist to hang Vacirca to
a lamp post as traitor because Of his
antifascist activities in Switzerland
and the United States.
The language used in denouncing
the socialist deputy in this Mussolini
editorial is too vile for translation
into English. 1t was after similar de-
nunciations of Matteot and the lib
ersl editor, Amendola, had been pub
lished in the fascist press that those
two leaders were deliberately muir
dered.
Vaclrea's History.
Vacirca filed with the review board
a statement of his struggle for Ital-
ian liberty Born in Italy 40 years
ago he lived in the United States
from 1912 to 1918, marrying here in
1915. On his return to Italy in 1919
he was Immediately elected to par
lament for the Bologna district and
two years later from the Siracusa dis
trict. He held various local Offices
also.
In 1921 the fascist began their at
tempts to kill him. In four towns
they shot at him and on one occasion
killed some of his friends. His house
was ransacked, his wife beaten, and
they were both ordered to leave the
town under pain OF death. In SRA
cusa, Catania, Bologna, Casenza and
other cities he was pursued, menac-
ed and insulted and compelled to fee.
When in January. 1924, he asked
for a passport for himself and wife
Mussolini personally refused OF, and
they escaped to Switzerland without
passports. The American consul in
Zurich gave them temporary papers OF
identification, and Vacirca came to
New York in May, 1925. His family

Since he has no passport and nc
