TWO KAY0 ARTISTS
 FOUND BY MULLEN
Otto Y0n P0rat and Les Mariner
 Score Quick Victories

Chicago, May 1 P,-Two heavy- weights. who can whip across quick knockouts with either fist and who can take it." have at last resurrect- ed Promoter Jim Mullen's hopes of finding another Jack Dempsey
 Astounding 10000 boxing fans. and even the optimistic Mullen, these two punchers. Otto Won Porat of Norway and Les Mariner of the University Of Illinois. knocked out their opponents in less than one round each last night. Non Porat victim was the o49 pound Indian giant. Tiny Koebuck, while Mar riner battered Jackie Williams of Chicago. Gene Tunney's erstwhile sparring partner. into submission.
 After catching a furry of slash ing rights that would floor many good heavies, the Norwegian 'cave man" dove into Roehuck. planting a series of smashing rights and lefts that crashed the giant to the can vas. It took him just two minutes and seven seconds to do il. although uc N dS OuiNt!SHtu bl G-f poulluS.
 The Mariner Williams set-to started and ended in much the same manner. Mariner caught few hard smashes. then he dove into his opponent viciously and had him on the floor 30 seconds after the first gong sounded. Williams, a shifty fighter of the Tunney type, was badly beaten. He was in a daze for fully ten minutes after the count.
 The victory marked the eleventh knockout in twelve starts for the IT, linois student since he joined the professional ranks. Only one Night CT has held him to a decision and that man later was knocked out by Mariner who shifts like fast and socks like a pile driver.
 Mullen was scurrying about today with contracts for bigger and better fights for the new sensations.

HEENEY STARTS LIGHT
 TRAINING FOR FIGHT
New Zealander Has No Special Plan Of Battle Mapped Out
 for Tunncy Bout.

New York. May 1 CUP) - Back Paris, Tom Heeney. challenger for Paris. Tom Heeney. challanger for the worlds heavyweight champion ship, began light training at the St. Nicholas gymnasium today.
 Weighing 211 pounds, Heeney plans to gradually work down to 195 or 196 at which weight he eX- poets to meet Gene Tunney in q 15 round bout at Yankee stadium probably July 26.
 Hecncy is undecided about train- ing outdoors. and may not estab- fish quarters at Atlantic City as first announced
 '1 never trained outdoors" :" lIeeney said. "and I don't know that I'll start now. For the time being I'll train at St. Nick's. It was good enough for me when first

 Heeney returned on the g. g. Leviathan today with his European manager. John Mortimer. and wit messed the Jack Sharkey-Jack De- laney bout last night. It was Hee- neys draw with Sharkey and hia victory over Delaney which gained him the chance at Tunney's title.
 The New Zealander frankly ad- mits that he has no special plan of battle mapped out for Tunney.
 T haven't bothered to give 1t a thought he said. ''I'll get to that when ! start 70 train in earnest. Its just another fight for me. I'm not worrying about the thing. I'll let Tunney do all the worrying. know Tunney's got good straight left and . right cross, but I don't think they'll bother me-

The storm of the old Jack
 Sharkey. furious youngster who once
 smashed his way to the very door of the heavyweight throne room, has
 swept again through Madison Square
 Garden.
 Like a tornado in human form. the
 garrulous gob swept out of his
 corner last night and crushed Jack
 Delaney as if the Bridgeport war
 rior. himself a disappointed title
 contender, epitomized all the
 humiliation and heartbreaks of de
 feats that had come to Sharkey since Jack Dempsey knocked him out last
 summer
 Only one minute and 1S seconds of the first round was the dulled Rapier of the north able to last be- 1 fore Sharkey's crushing drive. AL most before the echoes of the open ing gong had died, volley of short 1 hooks to the head dropped Delaney, badly hurt, to one knee.
 ! Snarling. bitter. tigerish in his ferocity, Sharkey leaped into his wobbly foe, felling him with loop i ing right to the head. Then as De- laney writhed on the canvas, pulled himself to his knees, and swayed finally to his feet. Sharkey waited, right hand poised.
 1 Full on the chin, with power suf- l tlcient to fell an OK. the rampaging sailor lifted a right upper cut into Delaney's twisted features as the ] trembling French Cana dian, eyes stumbled forward.
 No fighter could have risen from
 that final blow.
 Down into the resin dust blood
 trickling from his mouth and ear.
 Delaney toppled like tall, statues que tree Of his northern forests, cut
 off at the base. The force of the
 blow iutted his red nnouthpiece half
 cut between his lips. a grotesque picture as Delaney rubbed his face in the canvas, and fought, sub-con- sciously. to regain control of his ' ! Above the fallen fighter, now still as the referee finished the count of ten. Sharkey snarled, tears of pure ! terocity and pent-up feeling rolling down his cheeks. As the crowd of 1o,o0o roarcd their acclaim of him after almost year of boos and i misses. Sharkey turned hts face de- fiantly to the match with wetness still on his face.
 1 Delaney never struck a blow in his own defense. Vainly, after an initial, futile stab with & left as the round opened. the statuesque Canadian woodsman retreated blindly, arms about his head and body, vainly try ing to ward off the shock of Sharkey's deadly attack. But so vicious was the charge of the fierce gob. so deadly his punching, that Delaney probably never knew what struck him.
 In the crowd about the arena were Baron Huenefeld. Hermann Koehl and Major Fitzmaurice, transatlantic flyers. viewing spectacle of this kind for the first time. And in the crush of the delirious reception given sharkey as the bout ended. they were , forgotten. just as the fighters them selves. entering just after the fliers had been introduced from the ring, were to the roaring crowd only two mediocre heavyweights, who, time and time again had failed to justify public confidence in their fighting ability.
 The blast Of the old Sharkey, who crushed Harry Wills. George God frey and Jimmy Maloney to win ac- claim as great youngster but only to fade before Dempsey's mauling fists and the blows of every fighter since came too late to boost him

the petty bourgeois socialist rarity,
by it's reputation of the class strug
gle, has shattered whatever work

hered to its slippery sides.
Counterfeit Capitalism.
To counterfeit the heavily smeared
lying propaganda of the capitalist
parties regarding the era Of pros
perity and the aereral brightness of
the economic life of the American
masses tons of working-class litera-
ture are needed. Realizing this, the
class-conscious workers of New
York will today, tomorrow and Mon
day utilize their time in building up
the Communist Campaign Fund.
Thousands of dollars are needed,
and can be raised with the help of
the workers whose platform of class
struggle is the election platform of
the candidates of the Workers
(Communist) Party.
In a statement issued last night,
the District Campaign Committee
urges all workers to "carry with
you and use collection boxes and
lists wherever you go! The last
days of the drive, the Red Tag Days
of September 1, 2 and 8, must see
the Red Drive go over the top with
bang! This is the only effective
answer to Tammany's attempt to
throttle our campaign!"

STIMSON ACTION
seen AS RUBBER
GRADERS MOVE
Form Council to Coerce
Opposition

MANILA, Aug. 31.-Action which
leaders of the opposition see as de-
signed to spike their resistance to
the American governments effort
to increase the acreage that in
vestors may lease under Philippine
laws was taken by Governor-Gen-
eral Henry Stimson yesterday, with
the issuance of an order creating an
executive council. The council pur-
ports to be means for furthering
cooperation between the executive
and legislative branches of the
Philippine administration.
Though a purely advisory body,
critics Of the governor generals ac-
ton see in the move an attempt to
coerce and silence rather than CO.
operate.
Talk of cooperation is futile
anyway" one Filipino leader as
serted yesterday, "while the ques-
ton of complete independence for
the islands is held in purposeful
abeyance by the united states au-
thorities.
"The creation of the council is
merely another way to coerce the
opposition to the land lease, increase
legislation and to silence opponents
of the measure in the house and
senate"
The new body replaces the old
enc broken up in 1928 after it at
tempted to protest against what it
termed Governor-General Woods
high-handed actions.
Members of the council will in
dude such pro-American Filipinos
as Manuel Quezon and Senator Os-
mena.

INDIANA Miners
AID new UNIONS
Conference H cid In
Coal Centers

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 81
Mother Ella Reeve Bloor writes that
real progressive movement has
been launched among the miners in
Indiana. Mass meetings are held
right along. Mother Bloor and Free
man Thompson were among the
speakers.
The National Miners Arrange
ments Committee instructed each
district to hold rganizational con-
ferences in every sub-district to
make final preparations for the cleo
ton of delegates and affiliation.
1t also instructed John Watt to
attend the Ohio conferences, Free
man Thompson the Indiana and
Kentucky conferences and Anthony
Minerich to go to the anthracite tri-
district conferences.
To knit together the Indiana
forces for the new union, confer
ences are being held in Clinton, Bick-
nell and Blandsford. Where locals
have fallen to pieces, they will be
reorganized and elect their dele
gates; where there is no organiza-
ton, the militants are on the job to
organize every mine, and elect dele
gates. Every coal digger wants to
have a share in building the new
union. If he cannot come to the
National Miners Convention him
self, he wants to vote for a repre-
sentative.

ACTIVITIES GROW
In HARLE M RED
ELECTION DRIVE.
Hundreds of Sig n a :
lures Collected

Their Election Campaign is adj
vancing by leaps and bounds in Har-
lem. One member of the Harlem
Section of the Workers (Communist)
Party, Comrade Joe Kiss, himself
obtained three hundred and sixty
signatures. Another Harlem Cam
paigner, Harold Williams, obtained
two hundred signatures, thus giving
to Harlem the distinction of contain
ing the two highest scores made
turnout the city.
In the drive recently made by
Albert Moreau, Harlem Campaign
Director, for the participation of
every member of Section in the
signature drive, one member, Harry
Pollack, excused his absence in the
drive by his working overtime, and
donated to the Red Election Fund
the $13.40 earned by his overtime
work. "If l am not working for
our campaign in one way, am in
another" wrote Pollack in sending
the money.
At Harlem Campaign Confer
end held recently at 143 East 103rd
Street, at which twenty-one Harlem
functionaries were present, a general
Tightening up of the signature drive,
literature sales, and general propa-
ganda work was discussed. 1t was
resolved at the conference to double
the number of open-air meetings
held in Negro Harlem. With the
end of the summer vacations at
hand, the number of Red Campaign
ers active in Harlem will be con-
siderably increased and the results
of the campaign are expected to
show a much greater number of sig
natures in the next three weeks.
The outstanding achievement to
the credit of the Harlem Campaign
Committee, is the Negro Election
Bulletin published by Section A,
called "The Challenge. Under the
symbol of a firm handclasp by one
colored and one white hand, the first
issue of "The Challenge" is "dedi-
Gated to the interests of the work
ers of Harlem, white and colored."
The makeup of "The Challenge"
is pleasing, and it is enlivened by
cartoons showing the discrimination
against colored workers. The bull
letin, or perhaps it should be called
a miniature magazine, it containing
twelve pages, goes right to the heart
of the problems met daily by Negro
workers and cites the platform of
the Workers (Communist) Party
which is meeting these problems
squarely, urging all Negro workers
to support the candidates and plat
form of the Workers (Communist)
Party in the 1928 elections.

and the candidates and the party
platforms and policies.
Vote for Your Class.
mo working class woman should
work for nor campaign for, or vote
for candidates of the capitalist
class.
The democratic, republican, farm
er-Labor and the socialist parties all
represent the capitalist class. The
only difference between them is that
they each represent a different
group of the capitalist class.
The republican and democratic
parties represent the finance and
banking interests of the country.
The socialist parties and the farmer
labor party represent the smaller
capitalists and the rich farmers.
Vote Communist!
The Workers (Communist) Party
is the only party representing the
workers and working farmers of all
races in the United States. The can
didates of this party are the only
ones that should receive the full
support of the working class women.
All working women should read
the platform of the Workers Com
munist) Party, especially that part
concerning the working women. The
platform of the Workers Party
makes the following demands;
1. Prohibition of night work, over
time and job work
2. The law should provide for an
allowance throughout the period of
pregnancy and childbirth to the
amount of full working wages.
3. The organization of working
women into trade unions.
d. Elimination of all restrictions
and determinations against women
in trade unions.
5. Equal pay for equal work, etc.
No working woman should at
tempt to remain neutral on political
questions. The question Of the very
existence, the right to earn bread,
is a political as well as an econom-
ical question and through political
organization of the workers, the
working class women together with
working class men should demand
and fight for political and econom-
ical rights.
