of the 10 by ringside observers, with
Thompson having only a shade In

by the southpaw Fresno lad. Both
scored knockouts, but they came
when the opponent was obviously
off his balance.
The Fresnan had the advantage
of weight. He went into the ring ac
144 pounds. Thompson weighed

DEM AND

WITH VALENTINES
Other Leading Lights of
Pugilistic World Show
Brighter Side.
By United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Peeking
into the valentine mail of some of
the leading lights of the boxing
business today, one discovers just
what a sentimental kind lot of big,
overgrown boys they really arc.
There was one perfectly charm
ing one from Tex Rickard to Jack
Dempsey, decorated with chubby
pink cupids, wrapped in greenbacks
and reading:
"Roses are red, violets are blue,
81 wouldn t retire if / were
you.'
Gene Tunnev's to Dave Barry,
who refereed the Chicago fight was
in the best taste, showing the
Shakespeare room at Yale Univer-
sity with the appropriate verse:
81 want you for my referee.
81 hope you re feeling top notch,
"You are the incest man I know,
Especially with n stop watch.
Dempsey's mail was quite the
heaviest of the lot. Tunnev had not
forgotten him. Gene adopted a
more classic form of verse for his
valentine to Jack, which read:
"Your eyes, Dear Heart
"They' mean a million bucks to
me:
of l can close them just once
more, .a
"You see.''
To which Jack replied:
"Will / lac your valentine?
"And take another licking'
"Why, Genie, for 400 grand
81 IL let YOU knock me kicking!''
Then there was James Johnston s
lament to Jack Sharkey, his latest
love:
"Cupid darts, like fighters
purses;
" Always are wisely not spent.

own.
But at least I've ten per cent. -

British-SOviet Break
Costly to Britishers

LONDON, (By MaiD.-The Bri-
fish Commercial Counsellor in Ber-
lin, in his report for the year end
ing June, 1928, and published by the
Department for Overseas Trade,
after citing the new contracts for
goods made by the Soviet Union in
Germany during the years, adds:
"Of the business relations between
the two countries, it may be said
that the Russians have always met
their obligations punctually."
Russian imports from Germany
rose from 12,400,000 pounds sterling
in 1926-27 to 20,900,000 in 1928.
In the same period Russian i'm
ports from Great Britain fell off
from 100000 pounds sterling to g.
100000.
Soviet imports from America
and France increased considerably,
and the London Herald points out
that the Baldwin governments ac-
ton in breaking off relations with
the Soviet Union has cost England
a huge trade loss. Before the break
trade with Russia was growing, but
since then it has lost $25, 500, 900 in
one year.

"7en Days That Shook the
World" at Carnegie Playhouse

nNE of the most dynamic and dra-
y matte films ever made will have
its American premiere upon the oc-
casion of the opening of The Little
Carnegie Playhouse, 146 w. 57th St.,
tonight. 1t is the epic picture, "Ten
Days That Shook The World" the
second production of S. M. Essen
stein, the director of "Potemkin."
Based upon the late John Reeds
moving book of the same title, the
picture treats of the ten epochal
days which preceded the overthrow
of the Kerensky government.
In directing this film, Eisenstein
has done superb work Chiefly. his
intuitive understanding Of his peo-
pie and their monumental problems
has given him his primary equip
ment in the sheer conception of the
picture. Added to this, his mass
movement, depletion of types and
uncanny symbolism achieve the
startling reality of an actual news
reel of the revolution. Among
European critics "Ten Days That
Shook The World" has created a
sensation and both in cinema tech
nique, photography and profound
mob psychology they have placed it
above "Potemkin."
A second feature on the program
will be the revival of "Queen Eliza
BETH" with Sarah Bernhard and
Lou Tellegan in the leading roles.

LABOR LAWS IN
CALIFORNIA ARE
MEANINGLESS
Hurt in Flood Camp,
No Aid for Worker
by a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Cal, (By Mail)
Met an old friend of mine today
Said he had been working in flooc
control camp lately, about 10 miles
from San Gabriel, Calf. Told about
his back being injured while work
ing in wet hole, 40 feet deep.
His sickness was a bad case of
lumbago, he said, and the cause OF
it was forced over-work and the
dampness of the ground, etc, The
state industrial accident commission
refused to grant compensation, he
declared, in spite of favorable re-
ports from company doctors. His
injuries may be permanent, the
worker feared. He~was around today
trying to find something "easy" to
do. But that is next to impossible
at all times in Los Angeles.
At least one man was killed and
number of workers were injured
during his stay in the flood control
camp, my friend said. But the local
press, advocating peculiar indus
trial freedom" have had nothing to
say about it.
The so-called labor laws, signed
by Hiram johnson as governor Of
California, are as teethless as those
who made them are labor batting
Hooverites, as a rule.
