lrove the first victory was not a
liuke."
This sentiment is slightly at odds
with a popular belief that Dempsey
because of his color, primitive
savagery and willingness to gamble
on being knocked out in order to
score a knockout himself is, or was,
the greatest gate attraction in the
history of all sports.
NER. TUNNEY will get q chance
Iva to prove whether he or the
critics who disagree with him on
this vitality important matter are
right this summer. He says he is
going to fight twice. One of his
opponents will be Dempsey. This
fight will certainly be a sell-out.
There will be no way to prove def
nitely whether Tunney or Dempsey
created the maximum interest.
1t ought to be different in the
other fight. Tunney will be called
on to meet one of those run-of-mine
fighters who have been amusing
the town loiterers by their awkward
antics in Tex Richards reverend
ing elimination tournament.
1t will be. one of the SharkeyS.
Heeneys, Paolinos or Riskos, and
have a feeling that the public at
large is not going to become unduly
hySterical over the bout.
= II r
TINE Sharkey- Heeney fight here
4 last week provided a definite
tip-off on the mediocrity of the men
who are currently aspiring to be
heavyweight champions. On a basis
Of comparative performance these
two logically ranked at the top of
the contending list. Where they
rank now depends upon your sense
Of humor. Neither showed anything
to encourage the belief that they
are potential champions.
IT you were to match Tunney
with either Sharkey or Heeney to-
morrow for an early fight I doubt
seriously if the total receipts would
go as high as 100000; and more
than half of this, I venture, would
be contributed by the curious that
inevitably throng heavyweight
championships.
NF course one might argue that
~ it is no fault of Tunney's that
he must meet such nondescripts as
the Sharkeys or Heeneys in his other
fight, fact that promises so little
competition that it is only natural
that interest should suffer.
Something more than the promise
of keen competition is going to fill
the Yankee Stadium when Dempsey
crawls through the ropes. Dempsey
was outclassed at Philadelphia, and,
except for that seventh round ex-
plosion, was outclasSed at Chicago.
Nor is there any reason to believe
he won't be outclassed again.
Dempsey just happens to be one
OF the "It'' boys of sports. He's got
something that all the Sharkeys
and Heeneys in the world lack. If
Tunney doesn't realize it now he
will, fear, the first time he steps
into the ring against somebody else
and allows his eyes to rove over the
wide open spaces.

The ruling of the state court of ap-
peals marks a crucial step in the drive
to crush The DAILY WORKER. A
federal indictment still in force may
result any day in the arrest of Will

additional heavy fines. If this should
fail it is understood that other legal
maneuvers will be resorted to at the
instigation, as before, of patriotic or

America and the Military Order of
the World War. in an effort to stifle
the militant voice of the American
working class.
Fine Must Be Paid
Meanwhile the $500 fine confirmed
by the new state decision must be
paid at once. Though for capitalist
newspaper this would be a trifling
sum, for The DAILY WORKER,
which even in normal times is en-
gagged in a day to day struggle for it's
existence, this $500 fine presents a
serious threat to its life. In addition,
the paper is now confronted with a
$4,000 libel suit instituted by for
lner labor spy. Workers throughout
the country must rush funds at once
to The DAILY WORKER to enable
it to continue it's fight as the voice
of militant labor.

The Workers School, with its 1000
students, which has been crowded in
the headquarters at l08 East 14th
St., has rented an entire floor in the
new building and the larger quarters
will take care of the expanding stu-
dent body and student activities. The
Workers (Communist) Party, in
preparation for the election cam
paign, because Of the increased mem
bership and because Of its manifold
activities, has been compelled to seek
these new quarters.
The initial arrangements have been
made for the taking over Of the
building but it is necessary to raise
fund of $4,000 in order to secure
the purchase Of this new home and to
remodel it to suit the needs of the
occupants. The contributions have al
ready been promised to raise this
fund within the next few weeks and
short and intensive campaign will
be made by the organizations partic
ipating in order to raise this fund and
make possible occupancy at the begin
ming of May.
The new building will be open for
inspection on Saturday and Sunday,
April 7 and 8. Inspection win be
open to all militant workers of New
York City and an invitation is given
to members Of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party and sympathizers and
to all friends of the militant labor
movement to inspect their building
A charge of 25 cents viii be made
as admission to the building and will
go to the building fund. Arrange
ments for the campaign to raise the
$4,000 will be announced within the
l:ext few days.

GREAT UNION DRIVE

will be arranged Immediately after
the adjournment of the conference.
Plans are being arranged for the
advancement and extension of the Il
linois strike which involves 100000
miners. A large meeting has also
been planned for the Indiana district.
Organizers of the Save-the- Union
Committee will tour the southwest
fields, organize the strike and estab-
lish subcommittee wherever neces-
sary.
Joe Licata, recording secretary of
local 1903, Pittston, accused the Cap
pelini machine of direct responsibility
for the murders of the progressive
miners in District /. Licata pointed
tut that on the day before Alex Camp
bell and Peter Reilly were murdered,
$4,000 was withdrawn by the Cap
pelini forces from their bank. The
inference was that the money was
paid to the Cappelini killers.
Adopt Slogans.
The chief slogans of the conference
adopted today were: The National
Conference calls for district cOnven-
lions to drive cut the traitors from
the union; new tens of thousands OF
miners must strike for a national
agreement; Lewis cuts off relief of
progressive miners; our reply must
be to build rank and file relief or
