BB NEA SerUfcs
BALTIMORE, Md, May 19.-LM-
liam Cannon is on her way to France
now, charged with the ambition to
be the first woman in history to
swim the English Channel. A week
more will see her training daily in
French water for the most arduous
feat Of swimming known to man.
Just why the Channel swim
should be such a tough proposition
is hard to understand if one is not
familiar with its amazing tides. 1t
is only twenty-five miles from Dover,
England, to Calais, France, and a.
little more than twenty from Dover
to Cape Girls Nez.
But the tides are strong-there is
10 buclling them-and the water is
cold, never above 60 degrees, mostly
colder. And when you stop to con-
slider that the fastest time ever made
by channel swimmer was 16 hours
and 33 minutes, you gather some
idea of The punishment that is alb
sorbed by those who try it.
Captain Matthew Webb, an Eng
lishman, who subsequently lost his
life Drawing the Niagara rapids, was
the first to conquer the channel. He
made it in 1875, in q hours and As
minutes; and amazed the entire
swimming %orld by accomplishing
that supposedly impossible feat.
Thirty-six years elapsed before an.
other man was able to emulate
Webb's achievement. William Bur
CESS, another Englishman, who is
now In charge of Lillian Cannon
training, crossed it in 1911. Trials
have taken place each summer since
then, except for period during the
war, but not until twelve years aft

one else succeed. Then strangely
enough three candidates accom-
plished it in quick succession in the
summer Of 1928.
Henry p. Sullivan of Lowell,
Mass, was the first Of the trio. He
reached his goal after a bitter strug-
gle of % hours. Next came Enrico
Tiraboschi, an Argentinean of Italian
descent, who set the world record.

by two sharp promontories. Swift
tides sweep the course literally, run
ming eastward and westward, back
and forth, for periods of nearly six
hours in each direction. AS a conse-
quence the swimmer does not pro-
coed in a straight line. though he
aims for a definite point. The flood
and ebb tides force him one way and
another so that he dscribes a huge
zigZag.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-05-19

He must approach the opposite
coast inside narrow lane and on
a favorable tide, else he will be car
ried irresistibly outside the landing
area. Tiraboschi had luck with him.
Had he been 80 minutes slower he
would have got within a thousand
yards of his goal and then been car
ried away from the shore by ad-
verse tide, as he was on his attempt
the summer before.

ANTITRUST LAW
AIDS Open SHOP
SAYS ATTORNEY
Capitalists Need Not
Fear Such Laws
tspeeIaI 70 Lac Daily Worlerl

QUEBEC, June %. - Speaking be-
fore the convention of the New York
State Bankers Association, Walter
Gordon Merritt of New York, who was
the attorney that succeeded in estab-
fishing the Sherman Antitrust" law
as applying to labor unions in the
Danbury Hatters' case, declared en-
phatically that antitrust" laws are
primarily aimed at breaking labor
unions and establishing the ''open
shop" and capitalists are fools if they
oppose such laws.
Liberty" Means Open shop.
"What was the result of the Dan
bury Hatters' case?" asked Merritt.
THAT case and those which followed
upon it made America an open shop
country, where every employer has ac'
cess to the markets of the nation
whether he employs union or non
union men, and where the products of
non-union men have equal rights with
union made products. Is there an in
dustrialist in the country who would
knowingly surrender this?
"There is ground for claiming that
the liberty laws, as l call them, are
responsible for the generous measure
of cooperation and good will existing
between employers and employees thru
out the United States. II is the liberty
guaranteed which has furnished our
American employers with the oppor-
tunity of securing improved industrial
relationship" said Merritt, undoubted-
ly referring to the company union
system and class collaboration
schemes worked out with consent of
some union officials.
Open Shop Riveted In Government.
English policy has practically
grounded closed shop conditions in
government and law. In the United
States, where individual liberty pre-
walls, the open shop regime is riveted
in government and law. The antitrust
laws are largely responsible for this"
"Is it not true that the great general
strike, which shook the foundations of
the British government, was due to
conditions which could not easily arise
in a country Of industrial freedom?"
Mr.. Merritt made it clear that "in-
dustrial freedom" to him means the
open shop.
