New York, March 17.-(AP)-In
the feature event Of u lightweight
carnival at the Madison Square
Garden last night, Bruce Flowers
battered out a 1O-round victory and
had Billy Petrolle, the Fargo battler,
groggy when the final gong sounded.
Although there were no knock
downs, the dusky youngster, outslup-
ging Petrolle at his own game, gave
the westerner severe trouncinr,
Until Billy opened up and smashed
his right hand to Flowers chin. he
had the battle under fair control.
Once stung, however, Flowers sailed
into action like a dark storm cloud
and battered the North Dakotan all
over the ring.
Early in the sixth round, Petrolle
nailed the negro with left hook to
the body and right to the chin that
almost sent the customers home
early. Flowers teetered, badly
stung, but managed to fight his
brain clear.
From that round on, Flowers ham,
mered Billy Justify and the more
Petrollc fought back the tougher the
going became. In the ninth, Flow
ers smashed the westerner for two
complete turns around the ring with
out return and in the final session
crashed lefts and rights to Petrolle's
chin without letup. The Fargo
battler was groggy when the final
gong sounded.

John Ennis walked from Coney

did not walk on Sundays.
Not only possible, but it has hap

More Police Killings
Enrage Masses

BUENOS AYRES, May 16--The
killing yesterday by the police of sew
eral more dock strikers who were
picketing the wharves at Rosario,
Puerto, San Martin and elsewhere has
brought an insistent demand from
the mass of the workers that the gen
aral strike which officials announced
they would call in twenty-four hours
be put instantly into effect.
The growing mass sentiment for a
general strike thruout the Argentine
ports has brought an cutlery from the
owners, and the authorities are mass
ing police reserves and troops.
Attempts by the owners and the
government to bring strikebreakers
into the paralyzed zone have been
practically total failures as a result
Of the solidarity Of all the unions
with the Rosario ST. ikers. The few
men brought in have been unable to
work.
The discharge and loading of car
goes here is at complete standstill
with many vessels idle in the harbor.
Rosario is the second largest port in
Argentina.
Tension in the situation is height
ened by the growing unemployment
which is especially severe as the cold
weather increases here.

is time to explode the glory, bunk
surrounding the enforced departure
of Supt. VIM. McAndrew from the

Loyalty begets loyalty. If Mr.. Nc
Andrew had been true to the teachers

PROVIDENCE, R. l., May 49,
John L. Brown and Charles L. McCool,
two workers of the Darlington Textile
CO., now out on strike against the
company's reduction of wages and
lengthening of hours, were arrested
here yesterday and held in contempt
of court for having violated court
order prohibiting picketing of the
company's plant and for approaching
men who were working as scabs.
The two workers were ordered to
pay the costs of proceedings.
During the testimony, all that was
brought out against them was the
fact that they had peacefully visited
two men who were scabbing at the
Darlington Co. in order to induce them
TO quit scabbing. This was in viola
ton of an injunction that the company
had procured on April "a. The COM
pany in an attempt to make the in
junction permanent, will soon procure
new hearing in court.

CUTS WAGES THEN
JACKS UP RENTS
Company Union Agrees
to Both

SOUTH MANCHESTER, Conn,
May 16. (FP).-The recent pay cut of
10 per cent at the Cheney Silk Mills
has been followed by rise in rents
of company-owned houses. Cheney
Bros, one of the largest silk manu-
featuring corporations in the United
States, employs more than 1000
workers. The company owns the
town; one of the brothers is director
of the town water supply, another of
the town electric light company, and
the entire community is built around
the mills and the beautiful estates of
the owning family. Even the scenery
is company owned.
Company-owned houses are pro-
vided for $50 families. Single men
and single women live in company
boarding houses. The petty foremen
have their own cars, and swear by
the company. Nothing is said about
the low-paid majority.
1--WE are all one big family here"
asserts the personnel manager with
pride. The company has beaten the
union to it. 1t has provided baseball
grounds, basket ball field, silver cups
as trophies for the winning teams,
and above all the company union,
called "employe representation" by the
industrial relations department.
Company Union Here.
A Council of rs representatives
from the various departments is care

yes, we supervise the elections" said
the young industrial relations man.
"An election committee meets before
hand, and the employees may vote for
one Of the three names highest. on the
list.
eve had no trouble at all when
we put through the wage cut. We
talked the matter over with the coun-
ell of employees and they agreed with
US that cut was necessary"
Increased Output.
Just before the cut went into eff
feet, an article appeared in the
Monthly Labor Review describing the
increase in output per worker in the
Cheney Silk Mills. The number OF
wage earners in relation to each
$1,000 of product had decreased by
as per cent from 1914 to 1926, the
number of salaried employees had de-
creased 5 per cent, and power con-
sumed per hour had increased Il per
cent. Or, in terms of 1914 dollars
value of individual production had in
creased by sc per cent.
A silk worker who produced $1,000
in silk goods for his masters, the
CLANCY brothers, in 1911 was pro-
ducing $1,S60 for those same masters
in 1926.

TRUST FIGHTING
FERTILIZER BILL
Dukes, DuPonts Cause
Farm Bankruptcy

WASHINGTON, (FP) May 10
Daily blasts from the office of
Charles j. Brand, lobby director for
the National Fertilizer Association
have reminded press correspondents as
well as members Of the House and
senate, for the past month, that the
Norris MORN Muscle Shoals bill, as
to the House, would destroy
a great private graft. Brand did not
use the word graft" Of course. He
spoke of great privately owned in
dustry, the making and sale of fer
tilizer for the American farmers. He
begged, in the name Of sacred private
enterprise, that congress halt before
it committed economic treason.
Unfortunately for Brand and his
fertilizer department of the power
combine-for the Duke, Dupont and
other power trust units are tied into
the fertilizer trust-Congress now
seems hell-bent on passing the
Muscle Shoals measure. Southern
members discover that the fertilizer
manufacturers have been charging
them robber prices for many long
years past, while the farmers have
sunk lower into bankruptcy and des-
pair. They have made up their minds
such as those minds are-that if
the federal government can produce
fertilizers at Muscle Shoals, by any
process, cheaper than the trust is
selling them, then the Southern farm
ers are all for it.
