CHAMP TRAINS
BEHIND DOORS
Writers Speculate AS
To Reaso-. for Sc
cretiveness

Reports from Spectator have IL
that Gene Tunney has not only re-
sorted TO secret training several
times to date, but plans to continue
these private workouts much Of the
time while tuning up for his match
with Heeney.
The battle occurs five days after
the anniversary OF the first battle
of Bull Run, which may or may not
have any tangible significance re-
garding the exact status of these re-
ports.
In drawing the curtains about the
ring at times Tunney is not only
departing from his usual custom, but
is joining the ranks Of the usual
which is unusual for the Shakes
pearian Gene.
Tunney trained in the open during
his contender days, for his title fight
with Dempsey and his second meet
ing with the dethroned king. There
was no mystery thrown around his
condition at any Of these training
camps.
Why the need Of creating such an
atmosphere now?
Has his increased weight and the
years layoff checked his speed. tim
ing and punching TO the point where
he is worried about it.?
is it merely a press agent
10 draw his training camp activities
out Of the routine?
Is il a lot of hokum to create the
impression that he il really worried
over the outcome of his meeting
with the E~nglishman and to thereby
increase interest in a fight that isn't
arousing the expected amount Of
hysteria?
Most likely the latter.
One interesting angle Of the mat
ter, however, is brought up by one
who was close 70 Tunney the day
he assembled the throne and still re-
mains among his admirers. That Is
that Tunney at the time of signing
for his second battle with Dempsey,
bemoaned the fact that other inter
ests prevented him from devoting
more than eight weeks to training
for the bout. Now, however, he
elects 70 spend a bit less than six
weeks in preparing for Heeney. This
despite the fact that the champion
is older and heavier, and with a
years inactivity to be overcome.
Does Tunney belittle Heeney's
ability? Is the champion falling into
the groove that has tripped other
championships hatred Of the train
ing grind?
Tunney has done many odd things
since hopping into the fistic lime
light, but his most recent moves have
on the face OF things-been the
most mysterious Of any.

The old u. S. "A. looks plenty good

not bother about that event this year

larger employers demanded, as was
reported yesterday, the piece work
privilege for their contractors only
the Hillman machine declared that
"under no circumstances will they
grant piece work to any but re
sponsible employers" Now the
bosses papers, in reporting the prog
ress of the negotiations, say that
"the labor group show a willingness
to consider means of encouraging
large production with permanent con-
tractors" meaning, that the encour-
agement will be given by granting
piece work.
The bosses paper then admits that
it viii be difficult to build a ma
chinery whereby piece work will be
permitted on work done for the mem
bers of the bosses association, while
week W. rk will be enforced when the
same shop turns to the work of other

propaganda was unfolded before the
Federal Trade Commission today in
lurid terms that put fiction to the
blush.
J. B. Sheridan of st. Louis, whose
letters indicated that for nearly five
years he had been at war with him
self over the methods of the men he
served, supplied both the documents
and testimony. At the end of two
hours his face was strained, his voice
had dropped almost to a whisper, and
he appeared on the verge Of break
down. Z
In the subpoenaed letters and re-
ports Sheridan demanded that Carl
D. Thompson, famous Chatauqua
speaker who advocated public own
ership of utilities, be "annihilated, =
and set powerful machinery of money
and influence in motion to bring that
about.
He circulated through his Missouri
utility propaganda bureau pamph-
let which taught thousands of school
children that the great electric pow
err, light, and street car companies
were owned by,"widows and orphans"
In letters subsequently taken from
Sheridan's files, Lying, trimming,
taking and downright evasion of
trust" were attributed to "some of the
so-called big men in the industry
with whom Cotton had been working.
Sheridan testified that the move
ment to brand all those who dis
agreed with the utility leaders as
"Bolsheviks" was launched at util-
ity mems meeting in New York last
year.

Now the little business men who

be added that no such long TRADE as

Boss Murphy again was seen to

USE STOPPAGES

Only Way to Give the
Jobless Work

While the last few days develop
ments in the fur industry have shown
that the right wing union of the A.
F. of L. is torn by fractional strug-
gle which has burst into the open, the
Joint Board of the Furriers' Union is
proceeding with the campaign it
mapped out for the regaining of the
union conditions destroyed by the
right wing and the bosses. A circu-
lar issued by the Joint Board and
distributed to the workers yesterday,
called upon the workers to take i'm
mediate action to secure the July
raises in pay, the enforcement Of the
40 hour week and thereby work for
the jobless. The leaflet follows in
part:
The wages have been cut more than
fifty per cent. The cutters, opera
tors, nailers and finishers are now
getting $50 and even $40 less than
they got in 1926 despite the fact: that
they are now producing twice as
much work. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars are weekly stolen from the
workers to fill the pockets of the
bosses. Cost of living and rent have
not become cheaper; only the fur
workers became cheaper. Why?
Because your ranks were broken
and your union wrecked.
One strong united union, under the
leadership of competent, devoted and
militant workers will restore the
union conditions, will put an end to
the merciless exploitation in the
shops, increase the wages, curb the
appetites of the greedy manufacture
ers and reestablish the furrier's self
respect and pride.
A July increase for every worker
under all circumstances.
The first week in July all furriers
get increases in wages. This has
been the trade practice for many
years; and the bosses were long ago
forced to recognize this practice.
Only last year the workers did not
receive their rightful July increases
because last year the council scab
agents sold out to the bosses the July
Increases as well as all other union
conditions.
A July increase for every worker
without any exceptions or else shop
stoppages. "a
Don't postpone. Don't be lnisled by
empty promises of your boss or fore
man or Of the scabs in your shop. Act
at once. Now there is already work
in the trade. Forge the irons while
they are hot.
Don't allow yourselves to be misled
by the fake maneuvers or empty
threats from the scab council II
necessary be ready and mobilize your
power for a general stoppage to wrest
from the bosses an increase for every
worker.
You can force the bosses to return
to you large part of the slashed
wages, and you can rout your enemies
only by means of united, courageous
and determined action. This will be
your first step in adopting united
mass pressure, which will restore
higher wages and the 40 hour week
This will mean jobs for the uaem-
ployed and will restore all other union
standards in the shop.
