Tex Now in q Dilemma.

But. a s YOU all know, the great bat
tie ended in a foul when Delaney was
ahead on points. but he had MOI CON
WINGED the fans that UzCudun would
not wear him down before the 10
rounds were ended.
Thus Richard, 10 speak in that
polished language which Gene Tunnav
finds SO agreeable, is hung upon the
horns of dilemma.
Just what effect Paulino's poor
showing will have on the fans is
something that time only will tell.
One hardly knows how tn figure the
mood of the genus fan. But it would
seem as though Pauline may have to
step out of the picture. His victory
over knute Hansen and his doubtful
win over Tom Heeney are still fresh
in mind. True he slowed away Harry
Wills. but it now is recognized that

Of course. If the Yankees began AT

as to bring Pittsburgh home on Satur-

give the players any rest except that

Disarmament Now Rests With Publ" Lord Cecil

Disarmament has been proved
practicable and it remains only for
the enlightened public opinion to in
sist that this greatest of all reforms
be carried out. So Viscount Cecil
sums up the situation. What are all
these myths called disarmament anG
peace? Can we at this time speak of
peace and disarmament when work
ers are being shot down in China and
Nicaragua, by those very phrase
mongers' soldiers, for attempting to
better their conditions Of life? Why
were the workers shot down in cold
blood in Marking? Why are all the
allied forces massing their battle
ships in the Chinese waters especially
at Hankow, the seat Of the Nationalist

rUNNEY EXPECTS TO GET
$4,000 FOR NEXT FIGHT.

Old time scrappers who used to go
to it for Is rounds, or more, for an
average of $3.50 round, will read
about the recent statement of heavy
weight champion Gene Tunney that
he expects to get $50 thousand bucks
for his next fight, and wonder what
the old world is coming to anyway.
In the so-called good old days, such
a fortune would have coveted the net
income for the entire boxing frater-
nifty for a year.
But times have changed. And BY
the way, wasn't there a lot of tall
at the time Tunney won the cham
pionship that he was going to be the
fighting champ? Yes, it sure was
a lot of talk!

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS
The Fighters.

SAN PEDRO, CAL, April 20.-
AS 1 read your paper when l get a
chance, l am interested in it.
would like to write a few words
to your letter-box department.
I read in some capitalist paper of
Los Angeles, last Sunday that man
who produces by working, is called a
moron" Sure that is the right ex-
preston. But here in Southern Cali
fornia, you have more "morons" in
the fishing industry than you can find
in any other industry, anywhere else.
Talking about old Southern days,
we'll that is nothing compared to
the San Pedro fishermen. They are
slaves to the man that owns the boat,
and 80 per cent of the boat owners
are slaves to the fishing cannery or
corporation. The fishing corpora
ton makes the fish prices, so the
fishermen, with the boat owners,
have to take their prices, or eat the
fish themseK.
Conditions are not worse anywhere
else, in this line of industry. But
what can you expect from such able
bodied men, when they don't know
any better themselves.-John Jurjev.

TAXATION
By JAMES ZUCHARY.

By JAMES ZUCHARY.
Tax the people, tax with care,
To help the multi-millionaire,
Tax the farmer, tax his fowl,
Tax the dog and tax his howl.
Tax the hen and tax her egg.
And let the bloomin' mudsill beg.
Tax the pig and tax his squeal,
Tax his boots run down at the heel;
Tax his horse and tax his lands,
Tax the blisters on his hands.
Tax his pillow and tax his clothes,
Tax the rag that wipes his nose;
Tax his house and tax his bed,
Tax the bald spot on his head.
Tax his '"Henry," tax his gas,
Tax the road where he may pass,
And make him travel on the grass
Tax his cow and tax his calf,
Tax him if he dares to laugh.
He is but common man, so
Tax his labor, but be Discreet
Tax him for walking on the street.
Tax his bread and tax his meat,
Tax his shoes clear off his feet.
Tax his payroll, tax the sale,
Tax all his hard-earned paper kale;
Tax his pipe and tax his smoke,
Teach him government is no joke.
Tax their collins, tax their shrouds,
Tax their souls beyond the clouds.
Tax all business, tax the shops,
Tax their incomes, tax their stocks;
Tax the living, tax the dead,
Tax the unborn before they are fed,
Tax the water, tax the air,
Tax the sunlight, if you dare.
Tax them all and tax them well,
Tax them to the very gates of HE'LL
Then watch the cash gravitate,
By the iron hand of fate,
In terms of millions snug and neat,
To storage vaults on Wall Street.
But close your eyes so you can't sec.

LABOR PAPERS BEGINNING TO
FEATURE MORE SPORTS NEWS.

Labor papers turnout the country
are beginning to realize the value of
featuring news of sporting events.
What with the tremendous interest of
the American workers in sports, it
is only logical that the trade union
papers should seek to satisfy this in
terest. In the past this news has
dealt mostly with national and pro-
fessional athletic events, but lately
trade union sports activities, have
been written up extensively.
To satisfy the demand for labor
sports news, the Labor Sports Press
Service has been started in Chicago
This press service is sent out weekly
to labor papers free of charge. Scores
of labor papers turnout the country
are availing themselves of this press
service to add an attractive feature
to their columns. The Labor Sports
Press Service is issued by the Labor
Sports Union at 453 North Ave-, Chi

workers. How many papers are sold
on the Skid Road every day? One
hundred and twenty-five actually
sold. Saturday edition $50. There
are other water-fronts in this
country where the same thing could
be done. One can easily judge the
educational effect upon these men by
listening to their questions and de-
bates. When l had spoken to them
of the Sacco-Vanzetti case, and of
Szanto and the 80 other Hungarian
comrades in danger of death, they
passed a resolution unanimously to be
sent to the Hungarian Embassy at
Washington. When ! left to go to a
meeting at the Labor College it
seemed to me had seen the real Uni
versity of the Workers down there on
the Skid Road-with The D ALL Y
WORKER as their textbook. The
students have travelling scholar
ships" on boats bound to distant
ports, have long months in the lumber
camps; have places in stoke-holes.
They will touch the lives of hundreds
of other workers.
1t is up to the sustainers of The
DAILY WORKER, and to the writers
of The DAILY WORKER to realize
their great responsibility to the
eager open-minded young workers
everywhere on all the roads of the
earth, and may they all be as earnest
boosters for The DAILY WORKER
as the migratory workers of the Skid
Road of Seattle.

Why He Left !. w. w.
Editor, DAILY WORKER:

Fellow worker: There appeared in
The DAILY WORKER an editorial
why members Of the I.W.W. do not
support the Industrial Worker. You
sure hit the nail on the head. In my
case that was only one of the rea-
sons why l left the organization and
the other is that the I.W.W. has
forsaken what Marxism they ever
had.
The war has taught US and the
Russian Revolution demonstrated it,
that the workers must control
industries as we'll as the administra-
tions of legal and other functions.
That's what The DAILY WORKER
is teaching; so more power to your
pen. Long Live The DAILY

its great boats sailing to the far

one all about these far off ports-sea-

here on the waterfront-some looking
for jobs, some looking for old friends,
and finding them. It's a friendly

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. P-Active SELL
ing based chiefly on December private
estimates of the 1927 corn crop led to
an all-around set back in grain values
today. Closing quotations on corn
were heavy, 2Acsto 25sc net lower at
the days bottom level, Wheat fin
ished 7sc to 1asc off, oats 11sc to Ia
at 19sc down, and provisions un-
changed to Sc decline.
The outstanding feature OF the
monthly unofficial crop figures issued
today was the fact that one OF the
leading experts placed the total corn
yield at 1855, 100000 bushels, whereas
general expectations were for total
of 2,65O,000,000 bushels. The higher
estimate was in sharp contrast with a
preliminary forecast this season of g.
GAG, 900 900 bushels and also with g.
SAT 900 bushels final returns for
1926.
Increasing weakness of the corn
market in the late dealings was evl-
dent Notwithstanding that the aver
age of today's unofficial estimates
pointed to an expected yield of 1885,
600 900 bushels and also indicated that
corn supplies in all positions this sea-
son would amount to but 2,776,OQQ 900
bushels against 2,85O,OOO,000 bushels
last year Much of the selling OF fu-
ture deliveries of corn, especially as
the day drew to an end, was on stand
ing orders from holders who sought TO
stop losses at various fixed limits.
Wheat lacked adequate support from
buyers who appeared to be unnerved
as result of corn price downturns.
The circumstances that unofficial esti-
mates on the wheat crop were about as
had been looked for, failed to act as
counterbalance, and SO, likewise did
Kansas reports of damage by freezing,
it being asserted that SHOWS over the
western belt amounted less than had
been thought.
Oats prices dropped with corn, al
though today's private reports sug-
gested an oats crop 100000 bushels
under the government preliminary re-
port and 100000 bushels less than
last year.
Provisions were firmer early, respon-
sive to an upturn. in hog values, but
later showed effects of the weakness
both in corn and cotton as we'll.
