Volstead Injunctions
 Good for But One Year

St. Louis, Aug. 19 P-United States circuit court of appeals in majority opinion held that injunc- tions against Volstead act violators are not perpetual but are effective for one year only.
 The opinion was written by Cir cult Judge Lewis and concurred in by District Judge Phillips. A dis senting opinion holding that such iniunctions are perpetual was hand ed down by District Judge Paris. The three judges, sitting as an ap- pellate court said they had searched law books for precedent but found none.
 The majority opinion reversed the action of District Judge Van Valken- burgh who found Charles c. Webb of Kansas City guilty of contempt of court in violating an injunction and sentenced him to serve seven months in jail and to pay a fine of $500. It held that Judge Van Valkenburgh erred and that Webb was innocent of contempt charges and must be discharged.

Will Meet Him Anywhere EX- cept in New York State, He Says

Saratoga Springs, N. r. Aug. 19 LP,-If he is still worlds heavy weight champion after his fight with Gene Tunney in Philadelphia Sep tember 23, Jack Dempsey is willing to meet Harry Wills any time before January 1 and anywhere in the United States or Mexico except New York state. Dempsey today reiter- ated his desire to fight Wills and also his determination never again 10 fight in New York after the Dempsey-Tunney bout difficulties.
 T will never again defend my title in New York state,' he de- clared. My attorney tells me I could easily win in court and force the commission to give me a license. but if the Farley -Phelan-Wea com bination does not want me, surely will not intrude,"
 Declaring that from the time he won his championship in 1919 he has always wanted bout with Wills. Dempsey declared that it has been prevented because the powers that be in New York and the re- sponsible promoters throughout the country do not want a heavyweight championship bout with a Negro"
 Dempsey then described various motions" for a Wills bout, which always fell through because the would-be promoters did not post the necessary funds. He continued:
 Finally Rickard came along and offered me a match. He will tell you I wanted Wills, not Tunney. But

aickard induced me to leave the name of the opponent with him. I did so, and he named Tunney aa the logical man. I will keep faitk Cyith Rickard, and he will fight it eat in Philadelphia, and when this is over I will give some attention to MT. Harry Wills and his manager Pad dy Mullins.
 Those who have tried to promote the Wills match have realized that eevry possible wire in opposition to it is being pulled by every reformer ard public speaker in the country. But that bout will take place if l am stil the champion after the Tunney match. l refuse longer to remain silent and be the goat.

If we can lOL SldSH lllIS ISllI III Aut tllIlcd States, then we will take it to Tia Juana."
 Dempsey then said that Gene Nor mile, his manager, yesterday de- posted S150,000 with Thomas J. Shaw in New York, with the re- quest that Wills andMullins deposnt a like sum to assure a Dempsey Wills bout. winner to take all, and money to be returned if Tunney beats Dempsey.
 Pointing out that he lived in Cali fornia last year, Dempsey said:
 T was not a licensed boxer in New York, yet the childish commits sion ordered me to come into New York and defend my title in six months. These men did not offer to promote the bout. When I did come in, like so many children at playa they declared me to be ineligible.

WAGES And JOB
LIST FALL OFF
Coolidge Prosperity Is
Hardly Visible

BY LELAND oLDs, Federated Press.
Calls republican prosperity is pass
ing his home state by, to judge from
the June employment report of the
Massachusetts department of labor.
The department shows factory employ
ment in the state 81 per cent below
May and a full per cent below the
high point of the year in March. In
three months nearly $4,000 factory
workers have been laid off. e.
Employment in the state is thus
slightly below June, 1925. 1t is IS per
cent under the average for 1923. This
means loss of Jobs to over 100000
Massachusetts workers in the three
year interval.

The curtailment, says the report,
was general and not confined to any
single industry or group Of industries
OF the 20 leading industries Is showed
big layoffs. Manufacturers of rubber
tires made the heaviest cuts, laying
off 8 per cent of their employees. Other
severe cuts were per cent in textile
machinery, 5 per cent each in cotton
mills, furniture factories and rubber
footwear plants, and per cent in
boots and shoes.
Wages Down, Too.
The report shows 43.1 per cent of
employed on part time. This is
slightly worse than June, 1925, when
All per cent of the workers were on
part time. In II industries, including
the most important ones in the state,
a majority of the workers are reported
on part time. These are the automo-
bile, boot and shoe, carpet, CONNECTION
cry, cotton goods. textile dyeing, knit
goods, meat packing, stove, textile ma
