Bright, the famous British com

frauded by the Rockefeller gang of
several millions of dollars he had
expected to realize out of public
utility and other concessions in
Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
Through their control over the state

were cancelled. Bright has won a

Remarkable enthusiasm was mani
tested by the 200 delegates repre-
senting over 81 shops in that city, at
the prospect of finally beginning
the structural work on the new
union that will replace the organi-
cation of the bosses and the Sigman-
Schlesinger gang.
After Zimmerman, Levine and
Yaninsky from the National Organi-

their reports and after the meeting
had inaugurated the organization

mously to affiliate with the N. 0. c..
An executive committee of 23,

Coming back to the ring after a

day night at Ebbets field defeated
Corporal Izzy Schwartz, recognized
as the flyWeight champion in New
York State, in a fifteen-round bout
sanctioned by both the New York
State commission and the National
Boxing Association as titular bout.
Outweighing Schwartz 612 pounds,
Graham had little trouble Outlook
ing the little flyweight in the first
ten rounds and then outpunching
him in the final stages.
A vicious attack in the fourteenth
round half drove Schwartz through
the ropes. When the Corporal was
pulled back into the ring Graham
dropped him for a count of nine
with a series of rights and left. The
bell rang as Schwartz came up.
Out of the fifteen rounds,
Schwartz won only two, the eleventh
and twelfth, and those by the barest
Of margins. Schwartz was game,
but he was too light, too small and
too fragile for the bigger Graham.
Graham weighed 118 pounds,
while Schwartz, who was made to
