AT BOXING SHOW
Cap Stevens Tells the
Fair Sex They Needn't
Pay Admission.

If there isn't a big crowd at the
boxing match in this city Friday
night it will not be cap Stevens
fault, for the silver haired match
maker borrowed a leaf from tn"
coast promoters and will admit lad
les to the arena free. gratis. for
nothing.
Ten years ago a woman who at
tended prize fight would have
been ostracized. Five years ago
she would have been considered de
cidedlv reckless. Today only few
old fashioned folks would think any
thing about it. Not only do women
attend boxing matches i'll large
numbers, they have even sponsored
them, no less a society leader than
Miss Anne MAgan of New York
having promoted several rights in
the Madison Square Garden.
In Los Angeles and San Diego
women attend the boxing matches
regularly. In FL Cetnro the attend
ancc has been very gratifying at
times, many of the directors of the
Imperial Valley Athletic club bring
ing their wives to the matches reg
ularly.
And the women enjoy it. AS it
is conducted under the present Cali
fornia rules today, boxing is far diff
ferent rom the "knock down and
drag out - bloody murder" exhi-
billions of former years. Their at
tendance has also served to improve
the conduct of spectators until one
never hears indecent or obscene
language any more at the ringside
Wives Gets Pointers
StenOgraphers, school teachers

Volunteer for House-to-

The attacks of the textile barons
and the police lackeys on the textile
workers Of Passaic are becoming
more and more frequent. The bosses
are becmoing desperate. Samples are
being shown to purchasers. Orders
are being taken. These orders must
be filled Immediately. Sixteen thous-
and workers are on strike defying the
bosses. While these workers strike
the orders will not be filed. The
company continues to lose profits.
Attempt to Break Strike.
Every attempt to break the strike
will be used by the bosses in the
next week. Every attempt will be
made to crush the strike. The strik-
ers in Passaic are fighting a militant
fight. Every attack of the! police on
their headquarters, on their organiza-
ton, on their relief work, on their
parades is met with greater determi-
nation to win the strike.
Tho the Passaic strikers are carry
ing on splendid fight, they need the
aid of every worker in the United
States to carry on their fight. Six
teen thousand are on strike. Many Of
the strikers have large families. Food,
clothing, and shelter arei needed by
these workers. 1t is important they
receive these necessarsss of life
Without them they loose the strike.
With them they win.
The international Workers Aid is
arranging for a house to house col
lection in Chicago on Saturday and
Sunday, April II and is. Every
worker must volunteer for this most
important work. The stations at
which the volunteers shall gather on
these two days to get their collection
boxes, badges and credentials will be
announced in tomorrow's DAILY
