MANILA WINS BY DECISION

Joe Manila, the Filipino boxer of Ketchikan who took tlSree Se- were hckings from Joe Collier at Ketchikan and Rupert to lose only once, won fight in the se- cond round of a recent go with Freddie Mack of Ketchikan by way of referees decision. His opponent landed a blow in the second which sent Manila thru the lower rope. Mack did not go to a neutral corner, rushed and slammed Manila twice Whereup- on referee stopped the bout and gave decision to Manila.
 Which Reminds Us Of
 Manila's two first fights with Collier. In the first Collier out boxed, outhit and outgeneraled Manila but lost decision. (Too much Ketchikan money at stake). The second, again licked from the start, Manila got the decision from the doctors after referee and judges had awarded the fight to Collier by virtue of Manila being knocked out. That is why the Marshal put a quietus to boxing in the territory.

Begin Sharp Fight on
Bench h-Shoe Firm

A day spent in the mobilization
of forces for paralyzing the big
shoe manufacturing plant of the La
Valli-Lo Presti Co., was the most i'm
portant development in the organ
{ization campaign now being success
fully prosecuted by the Independent
DShoe Workers Union.
While all preparations for enlist
ing the support of workers in the
La Valli-Lo factory for the partial
strike now on here, strikes against
other firms were consolidated. AS
a result one firm called for union
representatives for negotiations.
This firm is the Albee Shoe Co.,
which was union shop, but which
was struck because of the bo,s' vio-
lation of the agreement. The strike
aims to secure a substantial sum
from the employer to the union as
assurance of a more careful obser-
vance of union conditions.

Speed-up
Silence 10000 Spindles

GREENVILLE, S. c., March 26.-
A spontaneous walkout of over $500
textile workers yesterday, employed
at the plants of one of the largest
mill owners, gave further evidence
of an impending general revolt
among the enslaved industrial work
ers in the South.
The 10000 spindles of the New
England Southern Manufacturing
Company, at Pelser, S. c., were si-
fenced at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, because of strike against a
speed-up system, which trebles the
amount of work to be done for prac-
tically the same miserable pay.
Never Organized
Never before organized, but influ-
enced by the agitation of the left
wing National Textile Workers Un-
ion, several locals of which were re-
Gently established in this region, the
mass of workers refused to listen to
the pleadings for strike postpone
ment made by the plant superintend-
ent, and unanimously walked out of
the factories.
The village of Pelzer, S. c. is one
of the largest company owned viii
lagos existing in the South.
Allan McNab, of Boston, the alb
sentee owner of the textile concern,
who is president of the New England
Southern Manufacturing Co., is on
his way here post haste in order to
deal with the strike. This company
owns several large mills in New
England, and was leader in the
movement to bring the New Eng
land textile industry to the South.
The strikers determination and
bitter resentment at the fiendish
speed-up system imposed on them,
is well evidenced by the manner in
which they have struck.
Refuse to Postpone
A committee of three workers
which they had elected, were grant
ed a conference with the plant su-
perintendent, who begged them to
delay the strike for a "short time
only" This committee was influ-
enced by the bosses to follow this
advice and went back to a meeting
of the workers to tell them so. But

Paisley's Wild Charge
Covers Own Fault for
Gas Filled Mine
No Relief to Unionists
Red Cross Prejudiced;
W.I.R. Calls for Funds

PARNASSUS, Pa, March 20
With James Paisley, owner of the
Valley Camp Coal Co. mine at Kin
loch, where 46 workers were killed
in terrific explosion a few days
ago trying to avoid blame for the
unventilated, gas filled mine by al
leging that "the explosion is due to
an anarchistic bomb" workers in
this mine and their families face
not only a probable frame-up for
murder, but actual present starva-
ton.
Mine Was Full of Gas.
The National Miners Union local
ON the ground has abundantly fixed
the source of the explosion.
1t has irrefutable evidence that
the mine was known to be full of
gas, that fire boss was discharged
for calling attention to this fact,
and that miners were forced by
Paisley greed to work in conditions
which were so dangerous that the
first chance spark from the ma
chinery could and did cause a ter
rible disaster.
Need Help at Once.
But the immediate need is for ma
terial help, food and clothing. The
regular capitalist relief agencies
and state organizations discriminate
against union members, the union
states.

the N. M. U. has sent the follow
ing telegram to the Workers Inter
