STAR FIGHT NEWS
DRAWS BIG CROWD
'Throng Is Thrilled by Fishers
Running Story of
Gotham Bout.

Jack Dempsey's sensational come
back electrified a great crowd of fight
fans that choked the wide open
spaces about The Evening Star Build
ing last night as Thornton Fisher
broadcast a thrilling ring side de
scription of the hammering blows that
eliminated Jack Sharkey as a con
tender for future championship honors
in the Yankee Stadium, New York.
Long before the zero hour Of the

people who waited impatiently for

of all out.of-town base ball games,
was at his best in the exciting periods
of the sixth round when Dempsey
began to punch his way to victory.
Verdict Was Surprise.
The pushing. cheering, jeering
crowd, however, was quite unpre-
pared for the sudden ending in the
seventh when Sharkey went down for
the count Of 10 in the early period
of the round.
TO the man in the street it was
unmistakably a Dempsey crowd, and

when it looked like the eX-champion
couldn't stand the gaff. the crowd was
with him. But it was a fair-minded
crowd at that and Sharkey'S aggres'
Sive fighting in the early rounds
brought cheers as well as tremors
from Dempsey fans.
A direct wire from the ringside
seats of the Associated Press sports
writers flashed the blow-by.biow
account of the fight into the board
room of The Star Building, where
Fisher made his headquarters before
the microphone. In this way the
great crowd below was kept informed
with events as they actually tram
spired and with no loss of time. The
large amplifiers conveyed the running
story clearly to those on the outer
frinses OF the crowd.

Neither did Kerensky nor Woll have

TINS of fascist rule in Italy, Hungary,
Lithuania, Bulgaria and in every other
land whore capitalism suppresses the
workers under one form of govern
ment or another. At this very mo-
ment scores of Hungarian trade
unionists are liable to be facing a
firing squad two hours after court
martial decision sentences them to
death. Kerensky and Woll agree that
workers who fight the capitalist sys-
tenn should be executed. Therefore
they have no word of criticism for the
White Terror. And if the black flag
of fascism instead Of the red symbol
of Communism flew over the Kremlin,
Woll and Kerensky would have no
word to say in behalf of the hundreds
of thousands of workers that would
be moved down by cannon and ma
chine guns, after the fashion of the
mass slaughter of workers by the
Finnish white guardists and the car
mage that took place in Germany
when the social-denfocrats saved that
country for capitalism by turning the
guns on the revolutionists.
Kerensky declared that there is
more terrorism today in Russia thar
there was under the car; that there
is no freedom of speech and that the
prisons are crowded.
Kerensky is a liar. Even capitalist
correspondents that have sniffled the
electors of the Riga fiction factories
for years are now compelled to turn
to some other kind of Safeguarding
for a living. Their stories of terror
ism, revolts and atrocities became SO
stale that even the socialist papers
refused to publish them.
Undoubtedly things were better
under the cars regime for the Ker-
enskys. They are better under the
Wall Street regime for the Wolls
, The fact that should be borne in mind
by the workers in connection with
Kerensky's charges against the Soviet
Union, is that the workers have free
dom of expression in Russia which
they did not have under the car. The
capitalists have not. The workers are
flooding the land with papers and
books. The capitalists cannot print q
paper as large as postage stamp
Under the czarist regime the work
ers' press was almost always out
lawed. Under the czarist regime mill
tant workers went to prison for any
offense against czardom, ranging
from the organization of workers into
a trade union to throwing a bomb al

BY T. ]. o'FLAHERTY.


IKE a trained poodle showing off
~ his tricks on a stage under the di-
rection of his owner, Alexander Ker-
ensky, short-lived premier of Russia
last Sunday performed before an
audience in Mecca Temple to the sat
isfaction of Matthew Woll, vice presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor and acting president of the Ma
tional Civic Federation.
Kerensky's theme was the general
wickedness Of Communists in general
and of the Communist government of
the Soviet Union in particular. Ker-
ensl1y finds it hard to forgive the
Russian working class for booting
him out of office and out of the coun-
try. He is as sore as an insurance
agent with bunion on his heel. The
brief taste of power still haunts his
lips. But the Russian workers and
peasants consider him a political lep-
err and Kerensky is wise in staying
away from home. Of course he ex-
poets that some day the fatted calf
will be slaughtered for him, but it is
more likely that Kerensky will be
found playing the veal role.
The ostensible object of the meet
ing which was addressed by this tool
of world imperialism was to appeal
for assistance for the so-called po-
litical prisoners that are in Soviet
iails. That there are no workers in
Soviet jails for having an honest diff
ference of opinion with the govern
ment as to how the interests of the
workers and peasants should be
served is well known. The people
that Kerensky is appealing for, are
tools of capitalist governments who
have never ceased to plot against
the Soviet Union. They are imprison-
ed for actively engaging in war on the
peoples government and the govern
ment which is entrusted with the re-
sponsibility of guiding the progress
of the revolution would be guilty of
criminal carelessness-for which they
would pay with their lives-were they
to allow paid agents of capitalist gov
ernments to carry on their destruc-
tive work.
The working class of the world has
no sympathy for the so-called political
prisoners that Kerensky is panhand-
ling for. Of course, Kerensky's OBJ
ject in coming here is something else
again. Here let me call attention to
the fact that on the day previous to
the one on which Kerensky delivered
his TRADE against the Soviet Union,
approximately 10000 people listened
to speakers in Union Square from
four platforms urging the American
working class to rally in a great
united front effort to save Sacco and
Vanzetti, two militant labor leaders,
from the electric chair which is being
rugged up for them by the capitalists
of New England. Kerensky had no
word to say in behalf of Sacco and
Vanzetti. Neither had Matthew Vol.
Those two lapdogs of big business,

Kerensky Doing His Stuff

shoe is on the other foot. The work
ers now rule and they intend to re-
tain power.
The new-found interest of the
American Federation of Labor bureau
cracy in the socialist Kerensky is in
dicative of the international charac-
ter assumed by the struggle against
the Soviet Union and all that it stands
for, by the imperialists of all coun-
tries. The right wing labor leaders
and socialists in all lands are being
used as tools by their respective gov
ernments in this struggle. Their for
eign policy is a diplomatic and eco
nomic war on Russia and their domes-
tic policy war of determination
against the Communist movement.
The vagrant KerenslSy and the lame
duck Ramsay Macdonald are in thoro
accord with Matthew Vol, the Civic
Federation, with Winston Churchill
and Benito Mussolini on this program.
But Macdonald and Kerensky have
been repudiated by their own former
followers. The British workers re-
warded the former labor premier for
his united front with the tory gov
eminent against the Communists, for
his aid in defeating the general strike
and for his tacit support Of the gov
ernment's policy in China, by trying
the can to him wlGle he was wander
ing thru New England on his way to
keep tryst with some ancient Mrs.
"Doe," who befriended him in the
past. Kerensky's posterior still feels
the impact of the gigantic Russian
proletarian boot that kicked him into
permanent exile.
The American working class will
some day confer the "Order of the
Boot" on their own MacDonalds and
Kerenskys. For while yet, the Wolls
and Greens will sit pretty.
The comic side of the Kerensky
meeting was supplied by Woll who
asked the speaker the pre-arranged
question: "What can American wage
earners do to promote democracy in
Russia ?" And Vol answered his own
question thru Kerensky's mouth by
telling the American wage-earners
that they can do this by stamping
out Communism in the United States,
by helping the United States govern
ment stop the spread of "Soviet in
fluence" and by insisting that the
government refuses to recognize the
Soviet government.
This is the program with which the
A. F. of l.. bureaucracy concerns it
self with, at time when the imperi-
alists are on the rampage in China,
in Central America and riding rough
shod over the rights of people every
where. While the coal operators are
busily engaged wiping out the miners
union in the bituminous coal fields,
Green, Vol and Company in an I'M
holy alliance with the yellow social
lists are engaged in a war to smash
the progressive wing of the trade
union movement in this country and
to turn the unions into capitalist aux
ilialies.
All the tools of Imperialism from
the scurvy labor faker of the Vol
type, to the West Point graduate who
commands the gun for his master are
being lined up in the most widespread
and ambitious program against the
working class that was ever conceived.
Against this motley horde of social
scavengers the. working class will
struggle and will succeed eventually
under the leadership of the Commun-
list International in establishing Sow
let governments in all lands.
