MRS. HORN Wins.
v @ OMENS NATL.
G OFF CROWN

GARDEN CITY, N. ", Sept. "a R-
Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn of Kansas
City today pulled a deadly accurate
mashie niblick from her bag to win
the national women's golf champion
ship, defeating Miss Maureen Orcutt
Of Haworth, NJ j., five up and four to
play over the final stretch of 36 holes.
Miss Orcutt was much the longer
from the tee and had very slight
edge in the putting, but Mrs. Burns
was able to place her approaches
much closer to the cup The Miss
ourian also had a less intimate ac-
quaintance with traps, although the
winners and the loser managed to in
spect many of the sand infested haz-
ards during the day. Several times
they showed Superlative Sportsmanship
by going into the same trap. They
started the day off and the same one
on the first of the 80 holes played.
Mrs. Horn, the new champion, took
full advantage of her first real chance
to win the title. She had never be-
fore progressed to the finals, although
she won the western women's cham
pionship in 1923 and was runner-ur
the next year. Miss Orcutt, too, was g
national finalist for the first time but
holds the metropolitan women's cham
pionship for the second time.

STANDS PAT ON DECISION IN

bout. These instructions were given
to the managers and the contestants
in the ring, before the bout started.
Therefore, the decision as rendered
will stand and this commission will
not consider a reversal of the de-
ciSion."
Before departing for Cleveland to-
night to spend two or three days with
friends, Tunney declared that if there
was any dispute over the result OF the
fight as to his winning it honestly
and decisively, he would be glad to
meet Dempsey again, but doubted if the
public wanted to see a third match
between them.
Tunney said Dempsey violated the
rules of boxing by hitting him three
foul punches in the third round, and
clubbing him over the back of the
head repeatedly with rabbit punches .
The champion exhibited black and
blue spot in his groin five inches in
diameter where, he said, Dempsey
landed low left hooks. The evidence
of the foul indicated that the blows
we're delivered eight inches below the
belt line. Tunney did not say that
Dempsey delivered them deliberately
but said that Referee Barry cautioned
Dempsey to keep his punches up.
IT don't know whether Jack tried
to foul me or not" Tunney said, 'but
you can see for yourself that I was
hit low. 1t is quite possible that the
fouls were accidents, as anything is
liable to happen in the heat of a bat
tie like ours :"
Tunney said that Dempsey deliber-
ately quit in the seventh round, after
Tunney got up off the floor of the
ring after that knockdown, and started
circling around Jack
"After he saw me on my feet again
and 1 cracked him couple of hard
rights on the head, all the fight was
taken out of him." Tunney said
II began circling to get a square
shot at him. Some folks were mean
! enough to say that I was running
away. had to stop his rushes and
remember know, and still know, that
Jack can hit"

CHICAGO, Sept. "a QP) - John O.
Righeimer, chairman of the Illinois
state athletic commission, today closed
the door to any appeal that Jack
Dempsey might file demanding a re-
versal of the decision in his worlds
heavyweight championship match with
Gene Tunney.
The decision, unanimously rendered
by Dave Barry, referee, and the two
judges, George Lytton, millionaire
Chicago merchant, and Sheldon Clark,
president of the Sinclair Refining
company, stands and the state COM
mission will give no consideration to
an appeal for reversal Chairman Rig
heimer said.
The commission made it clear that
it would give either Dempsey, or his
manager, Leo p. Flynn, hearing at
any time on any score but the boxing
authorities also made it equally clear
that the commission has no idea of
reversing the verdict given in the ring
at Soldier field last Thursday night.
Flynn, said he intended pushing the
issue, despite the ruling Of the COM
mission, and would present a COM
munication signed by Dempsey, as re-
quested by Chairman Righeimer, when
Righeimer told him yesterday that
Flynn was not recognized by the COM
mission as Dempsey's manager.
The athletic commission issued the
following statement:

cerned, the bout was conducted in ac-

GAME SATURDAY

The Douglas Bulldogs are now TAX
ing their last workouts before engaging
the strong Stafford eleven next Sat
urday, and judging from the scrim-
mage will be able to give any school
team in the state hard tussle. Coach
Warren is anxious to have a victory
next Saturday and is planning his at
tack with that in mind. The week
following the Bulldogs return home
for the first big stand of the season
against the Mesa Jackrabbits, Doug
las has never been able to defeat the
Mesa team, but Coach Warren figures
this year will break the "jinx" and
the score will be top-heavy in favor
of the local gridderS.
( The Mesa game will be the first
chance local fans will have to see the
Bulldogs in action. Should they
emerge victorious over the Stafford ag-
gregation the chances are bright for
ia second straight victory.
At the present time Bodenhammer
looks best at the pivotal position. and
is swapping them back in good style
and playing good defensive game.
Coryell, MaIoney, Flores and Thrasher
are four pair of guards that will work
either side of the center. Williams
and Cary are being groomed for the

"Presidential Chair" Gift
Of Upholsterers' Convention
To Gov. Smith, Of New York

has larger circulation in the trade
than any other journal.
President Kohn's report was stimu-
ating in its plan of new form of
organizing strategy. The big uphol-
stery centers are well unionized Be-
tween are small towns that can main
tain local but can not finance an
organizer. To meet this situation
territorial councils of a group of To-
Gals in a region have been formed.
One covers the Atlantic states, an
other the Pacific territory. 1t is
hoped to form mid Western and
Southern council Approval by the
convention of these plans will mean a
concerted drive to lift wage standards
and also to improve the quality of up
holstered furniture in every manufac-
turing center
More than 100000 union labels
have been put out on union furniture.
The organization went on record to
extend the marking Of union-made
products TO awnings, to curtains, to
stage draperies, to every article that
comes from union shop, as one of
the best silent aids to labor. Similarly
it was contended the purchase of
union materials would be one of the
best influences for extending the pres
tige Of organized labor.

Membership In International
Labor Office Aids Canadian
Labor Legislation, Says Writer

BY International Labor News Service.
Montreal-"When Canada became
member of the international Labor
Office, Canadian labor legislation en-
tered upon new phase. The pro-
motion of law for the protection of
the workers against the evils of in
dustrialism, which before had been
mainly the concern of the trade
unions, became a matter of interna-
tional obligation. This function at
once assumed new dignity and impor-
tance. Labor legislation is now re-
ceiving attention in Canada as never
before, and fortunately so, for it rests
with Canadians at large whether
their country will rank among the ma
tions as a leader or laggard in
this field"
Thus writes Bryce M. Stewart, for
merly director of the employment
service of the Dominion, in new
book called Canadian Labor Laws
and the Peace Treaty." published by
the Columbia University Press, New
York.
That Canada's connection with the
International Labor Office has stimu-
lated certain interest in labor legis-
lation is true, but the extent to which
work of promoting legislation has
been assumed as an international OBJ
legation by Canadians at large is
highly debatable.
Tribute to Trade Unions
The federal government which rep
resents Canadians at large lodged it's
responsibility by the claim that it
could not ratify the so-called magma
Charta of Labor" embodied in the
peace treaty without invading the
jurisdiction of the provinces. Mr..

New York City.-A presidential
chair" the product of the finest union
workmanship and of the best mate
rials, was shown at the convention
here of the Upholsterers' Internation-
al Union and will be presented to
Gov Alfred F.. Smith, as token Of
friendship for the man who has been
indorsed again and again on his labor
record by unions of the state and ma
tion. Governor Smith will be given
the chair at the close Of the conven-
tion.
While the chair was the center of
attraction at the Hotel Cadillac, the
sustained interest Of the delegates ar
irving from every furniture center
was devoted to the unusual report
made by William Kohn, international
president. In a period Of trade de-
preston, the U. l. o. showed a gain
in membership; the finances were
strengthened and the unions organ,
the Upholsterers Journal, now in its
sixth year, has shown a substantial
profit, based on its steadily growing
advertising This labor journal has

tion in the upholstery field and already

Stewart after his somewhat enthusi-
astic reference to the stimulating eff
fects Of these conventions and their
implied obligations, feels it necessary
to pay tribute to the Trades and
Labor Congress of Canada and the
trade unions generally as the impell-
ing force in recent labor legislation.
st is story of hope for better
things partially translated into legis-
lation by the slow democratic process
of discussion at local union meetings.;
presentation of resolutions at trades
councils, provincial and national con-
ventions; the work of legislative COM
mittees," and so on, he writes. The
legislation of most Importance to la
Dor has been wrong from the provin-
cial legislatures, rather than from the
Dominion parliament; and is advanced
or otherwise according to the strength
of the trade unions operating in the
different provinces.
Faith in Legislation
The author states that the Canadian
trade union movement has shown
more faith in legislation than the
United States movement, and adds
that this may be due to the British
tradition and activities of leaders born
in the old country, with the desire to
secure in this country on the thresh-
old of its industrial history the laws
enjoyed in the advanced industrialism
OF the United Kingdom. Further, the
author suggests that there is a great
er probability of retaining legislation
in Canada than in the United States
where so many labor laws have been
declared uunconstitutional by the
courts. This is not a wholly adequate
statement of the situation.

ergetic non-partisan political policy
ON our part was such menace to
the control of the political manipula-
tors that the most powerful Influences
were brought TO bear to minimize or
defeat the policy of political inde-
pendence which we had adopted
"The results of our campaign in
1926 proved what our movement could
| do when its bipartisan policy was
given the practical support of the
trade union movement locally Where
this was done, not only were enemies
of our movement defeated for renom-
ination or for reelection, but in sew
eral instances trade unionists or
friends were nominated and elected
in the face of the strongest opposi-
tion which the professional politicians
could apply. The number Of trade
unionists in the general assembly was
increased, and what is of equal impor
tance, the campaign so educated trade
unionists that there is every reason
to believe the next state legislature
will show more encouraging progress.
"Some of the staunchest supporters
of the legislation our movement re-
quires are to be found in every polit-
ical camp.
"Our bipartisan political program
makes the attitude of the candidate,
his friendliness or unfriendliness to
our movement the all-important ques-
ton. for we know from bitter expe-
rience, that the friendly attitude of
party political platforms are trans
lated into harmful opposition by some
of the representatives of the party
when they take their seats as legisla-
tors.
IF labor's non-partisan political
program had been applied as success
fully in some districts as it was in
others in the last state election the
bill to outlaw yellow dog contracts
would now be the law of the state.
"The record of the last general as
tsembly made it quite evident that oul
movement must be continuously or
guard if the workmen's compensation
law is to be protected from serious
injury.
Several efforts were made to tinker
with the law, to amend it in a manner
which would permit more manipula
ton on the part of those whose sole
interest is either their personal profit
. or the desires of those who employ
them with the sole idea of profit
One of the outstanding offenders il
these efforts was Representative vi
gran, of Hamilton county.
, "If the manufacturers of Ohio con
] tinue to take the intelligent interes
they have shown in recent years rela
tive to the workmen's compensation
law, the day will soon come whel
