CBY JOE WILLIAMS)

HendrroonyiUo. x. C., May 1S.-- New York tells you there is some uncertainty concetning Jack Demp- Sey's next opponent. T. may be Gene Tunney, it may be Harry Wills.
 Dempsey tells you the same thing. and adds, T don't care which one it is"
 But watch Dempsey train, listen to him talk and study his reactions to any reference to Tuuncy as dis tinguished from Wills and you reach very definite conclusion oi your own.
 Namely and to wit; That Demp- sey is positive his opponent in the September comeback will be Tunney. Further. that he is training with the specific thought of building defense and pcrf"cIine an attack for just one man-Tunncy. Dempsey realizes the trump cards Tunney holds are youth, power and endurance, It is not going 10 be easy to push him over if, indeed, any pushing over at all is 10 he done. The assignment may require a vigorous and prolonged effort.
 For Long Fight Dempsey is not training as fighter would who anticipated a brief, cyclonic battle. such as the champion had with Luis Firpo, when he won in two rounds. Rather. his routine is designed to meet marathon or long-distance needs. In other words, limit fight.
 of great signiticanc" in this con- nection is Dempscys habit of doing road work with both arms heiI on q level with his ears Instead ot jogging along with arms at his side he holds them in hitting position and goes through the movements of shadow boxing.
 The purpose Of this, obviously, is l 10 strengthen the shoulders. The 1 longer a fight goes the greater the strain on the shoulders. Arms that were feathery in weight in early 1 rounds become lcaden-like after the tenth or twelfth round. A fighter unpreparcd 10 meet this burden runs tragic risks.
 An even more reliable guide 10 Dempsey's private notion as to his next opponent is the alertness with which he greets any mention of ! Tunney or the fights which Tunney has had recently.
 q understand he is q counter fghter?" commented the champion. 'I hope he is. like 10 fight fighters who wait for me to lead.'
 Someone had told him John Risko, the Cleveland heavyweight. had knocked Tunney down and punched him around. He seemed pleased to believe the report was true and seemed Just a bit chagrined 1 10 learn it wasn't.
 That RiskO Battle
 T. so happened I had seen the RiskoTunney fight. So interested

That Risko Battle

T. so happened I had seen the Risko-'runney fight. So interested was Dempsey in getting the facts of that fight that it was necessary for me to recount the whole story for him round by round as well as my memory permitted.
 Well, Risko gave him all he wanted anyway, didn't he?" insisted the champion, apparently deter mined to get some reassurance out Of that conviction.
 And, ill passing, it might be men toned that Risllo did precisely that he gave Tunney all he wanted.

Meyer London Fought
Hopeless War Against
the Progress of Labor
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

THE death of Meyer London, so.
cialist, cannot help but recall
that decade in the socialist party's
history, from 1910 to 1920, when it
began to blossom as a political fac
tor in the United States. This Pc
Rod saw it win a place in congress,
its membership go over the 100000
mark and its vote roll up to a mil
lion. In the beginning it planned
an attack on the world war, but
even its verbal opposition waned
and it soon turned its most vicious
attack on the Russian Bolshevik
revolution. That moment marked its
rapid disintegration and gradual
disappearance.
Meyer London belonged peculiar
ly to the period of the attempted
"Americanization' of the socialist
party. This effort found it's most
ardent disciples, not so much among
native-born socialists, but among
such socialists as London, who had
been lifted out Of the ranks of the
workers and Joined the professions,
like doctors, dentists, lawyers, and
even teachers and editorial writer's.
This process of ''Americanization"
consisted not only in demanding
that members to hold responsible
party positions must be citizens, but
also tended to develop an ardent adj
miration for American capitalist in
stitutions.
There are the outstanding samp-
les of the socialist alderman, Alger-
non Lee, voting for the New York
Victory Arch" that emblazoned
"Archangel," where this country
hurled its soldiers against Russia's
Red Army, as a military triumph of
the United States; of the socialist
state legislator, Charles Solomon,
referring in impassioned terms to
the American flag at the 1920
national socialist convention; of an
other socialist legislator desiring to
wear his military uniform to display
his 100 per cent loyalty at the trial
in the New York assembly for the
busting of the socialist group of five,
and Of another socialist legislator,
Louis Waldman, proclaiming his
faith and belief in the American
form of government as against the
Soviets.
This was a tendency in the social
list party that Meyer London not
only supported but encouraged,
along with Abraham Cahan, the edi-
tor Of the Jewish Daily Forward.
When Meyer London went to con-
gress he did not consider himself
the spokesman of the working class.
He felt he was merely the represen-
tative of his little EAST Side" dis
trict in New York City, and even
then he was much against his con-
stituents bringing to Washington
what he considered non-political
questions. The socialist party hard
ly knew that it had a representa-
tive in congress. When it's publica-
lions were being suppressed in the
early days of the war, it was prac-
tically impossible to stir London to
protest.
In this Meyer London differed
somewhat from Victor L. Berger.

Aviator Loses Life
in Gale; Feared High
Fine for Being Late

Charles M. Dickinson, president of
the Aero Club of Illinois and con-
tractor for the new Chicago Minneap-
oils air mail line, blamed a foolish
law" recently passed by congress for
the death of Air Mail Pilot Elmer Par
fridge.
Partridge, a veteran aviator, was
killed when his plane, carrying the
first southbound cargo of mail over
the new Chicago-Minneapolis Link,
crashed during gale near Mendoza,
MINI. Five other pilots inaugurating
the new service battled with the ele-
ments for hours, Four of them were
forced down.
The legislation criticized by Mr..
Dickinson assesses a fine on all air
mail flyers who are late with their
cargoes.
"If II weren't for that foolish law
Partridge would be alive now" he
said. "The wind was too strong for
him. / advised against starting, but
he only laughed. He would rather
risk his life than take a chance on
being late"

VIRGIN ISLANDS
MUST WAIT FOR
own GOVERNMENT
Senate Plans Joy Ride to
Isles
BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, June 8. Up
All hope of legislation giving self-gov-
eminent to the Virgin Islands, or even
of giving them orderly civilian govern
ment in place of the military autocrat
who rules them under the American
flag, has been postponed until next
year. The senate committee on ter
ritories and insular possessions has
voted to take no action on the pend
ing bill establishing responsible gov
eminent. 1t has instructed Chairman
Willis to report a joint resolution
providing for a junket to the Islands,
this summer, OF three senators and
three congressman, who would be
directed to Report legislation in the
next session of congress.
Senators Willis, Bingham Of Con-
necticut and Bayard of Delaware see
no need for haste in giving civil gov
eminent to these people. Bingham,
especially, was determined that con-
gressional joy-ride to the Islands be
arranged before any legislation adopt
ed. In vain the hackers of the meas
ure showed that six junkets had al
ready been conducted by congress and
the treasury and other government
bodies. Delay followed delay until the
meeting voted to postpone action ON
civil government and ask for money
for another excursion to the Carib-
bean.

Iron Workers Keep Up
Battle Against Iron
Leagues Scab Plans

The Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers Union of Chicago at its
meeting Monday night refused to re-
turn to work for the Iron League con-
tractors, who had insisted on no bet
ter offer than the $3.50 wage to begin
October 1, and for the right to hire
non-union laborers at S71s cents an
hour to place reinforcing rods.
This leaves the work on many large
jobs, which has been behind the iron
workers, tied up by the continued
strike of the latter. The Iron League
has been promised the aid of the open
shop Lands award citizens commit
tee, in furnishing scabs. The league
has long wished to undermine the
Iron Workers Union in the Chicago
district, altho the union members are
confident of victory, many of the in
dependent contractors having granted
all demands.
