Tontorski came up from behind. In the final contest for the school title Mavek had ( to Tontorski's 5. Then he shot into the ring, knocking out two. His next shot took another and tied the score. Mavek missed on an easy shot and Tontorski took a long chance, knocking out the sole re- maining marble. It was close and exciting game, the odds being in<fa- vor of Mavek to the very last shot. J. Winer was referee. There was . big gallery at the school. teachers and even the janitor being found among the cheering squad.
 Tontorski then played George Ma zur, the champion of the Putnam school in the inter-school game. Ma zur was easy picking for the Walnut Hill boy. who knocked Mazur's shooter out of the ring before the latter got a marble, thus winning on a score of 13-O.
 By this time Tontorski was going ahead like house afirs and his next victim was Willard Bell, champion of the Stanley school. Again there ensued an exciting and hard fought contest. Each boy in turn popped the other fellows migs until the score finally stood 6-6 with one sole marble, the deciding issue of the game, still in the ring. It had been 1-1. and a-2. 3-3. A. 5-5 and final ly 6-6 all through the game. A fatal miss by Bell and Tontorski knocked out the seventh mig and won the game.
 A complaint that the boys were not all aware of the schedule was made to William w. T. Squire, Ju- nior Achievement director who has charge of the games. by the princi- , pal of one of the schools. MT. Squire's reply was that each princi-
 pal gets a special letter and the hchedule is published in the Herald. That is all the notice considered nec- cssary.
 Tonight, if the storm clears up, there will be games at the Northend school.

 George Mazur of 5S Oakland ave- nue, who became, champion of the Israel Putnam school, is only nine years of age.

 At the Putnam school he contend cd for the championship against Edwin Mercier, who last year was chs mpion of St. Mary's school. Mer- c,er was no match for George.

PORTO RICO LABOR
RELIEF PLEA

San Juan, Porto Rico.-Organized
workers memorialized the Porto Rican
legislature and the governor for re-
lief from bad economic conditions.
Unemployment and poverty is wide
spread, while wages for those fortu-
nate to secure work is below the liv-
ing line.
The island has been drained of its
resources by absentee landlords who
live in the United States and Europe.
Wealth beyond computation has been
taken from Porto Rico by sugar, to-
bacco and fruit barons, who refuse to
pay taxes. Schools and social work
are affected. These trusts ignore the
Porto Rican constitution, which pro-
hbits large and holdings. The pur-
pose is to encourage agricultural life
in the Island, but the peasants are
driven off the land and housed in in
dustrial centers, or depend on uncer-
tain enjoyment in tobacco and sugar
cane fields

Old Mans Appearance

A woman who does much free-lance

street by bent-over old man selling
lead pencils.
Upon having handful of the stock
in-trade thrust under her nose she
opened her handbag and offered the
old fellow a dime, remarking: Keep

Upon further inspection OF the old
peddler's rags and his feeble frame
her huge heart outswelled its bounds.
Suppose" she said, II take you
into that bank and start a small saw

ting old and will not be able to sell
pencils much longer?'

me at least to add few dollars to
It."
The old man agreed and they
walked together half block to the
bank.

the woman as they entered the bank
building.
AS she approached the receiving
teller's cage she casually opened the
book. His account totaled S4,362. 50.

GARNISHMENT BILL
OPPOSED BY LABOR

Des Moines, Iowa.-A bill pending
in the senate would remove wage
workers from the present garnish-
ment law, although all other classes
would remain protected.
Exemptions are primarily intended
to protect the home, but this theory
is rejected, as far as wage workers
are concerned.
The present law allowes the farmer
to have 40 acres, two cows and calves,
five hogs and all pigs under six
months. Necessary food for all ami
mails is also exempt from execution,
as is farming tools.
"Why exempt food with which to
mature pigs and not exempt food
with which to mature the children of
wage earners ?" the unionists ask.
"a lawyers library often worth
many thousands of dollars-is ex-
empt, while more often wages to the
wage Garner is the primary holding,
with small amount of furniture.

OLD-AGE PENSIONS
MAY BE CHALLENGED

Quebec. - Prominent lawyers in
this province question the legality of
the oldage pension act, recently
passed by the Dominion parliament.
The law provides that in the event a
province adopts the old-age system,
one-half of the cost will be contribut-
ed by the Dominion government. The
lawyers insist that where a province
does not favor the pension system it
is compelled to bear its share of the
Dominion cost. This, it is claimed,
is illegal under the Canadian consti-
tuition, known as the British North
America act.

ILLINOIS WAGES
And Employment Drop In
January

Chicago q. L. N. S.)-Employment
in Illinois declined during January
and was 1.6 per cent below the De-
cember figure. The movement was
in conformity with that of previous
years, and is due to a customary fall
ing off of employment in the manu-
featuring, trade, service and building
groups. Public utilities and coal
mines were being operated with in
creased forces.
The free employment office ratio
increased, rejecting more unemploy-
ment February's ratio of 182 is to be
compared with la for December
Both the index of employment and the
free employment office ration are in
agreement that conditions are much
better than they were a year ago
The spending power of Illinois
workers has declined, according to the
reports of 1,500 representative en-
ployers, which indicate that 3.5 per
cent less money was spent in wages
than in December. The diminished
payrolls have been accompanied by a
smaller drop in average earnings
from $2951 to $28.72 a week.

Conditions Worse Than
EUeY IN the Anthracite
LOGGER.

a few months been brought here
from the bituminous field.
Miners are tired of these terrible
conditions existing in the mines and
are ready to fight in spite of the
united front Of the union officials,
coal companies and contractors. This
is shown by the recent rank and file
militant slate which was formed by
rank and file miners. in opposition
to the reactionary states put up in
district 1 by Boylan, Cappellini and
McGarry followers. Besides their
candidates the rank and file miners
have a militant program which in
cludes 81 demands. These demands,
which include a 6-hour day, 5 day
week, social insurance and other de-
mands beneficial to the miners, are
bitterly opposed by the reactionary
U. M. W. officials. They tried to
discredit them by saying they ARE
Communist, "Red", and could only
work in "bolshevik Russia; this
makes the miners think Russia must
be a good place for workers to live
in. In spite of the takers the min
ers put up a fight and spoke before
the members of 81 locals, for their
militant program. In many cases,
local officials used their authority to
ignore the decision of the rank and
file and secretly sent in a vote for
the reactionary machine. In Local
1432, in Ashley, for example, where
the slate was unanimously endorsed,
and where members of the National
Miners Union control the local, the
vote for the rank and file slate was
stolen for the takers.
The miners of the anthracite are
reading the Coal Digger. They will
guard themselves from the fake
"progressives" like McGarry, and the
open reactionaries and strike-break-
ers like Boylan, Cappelini and Lewis,
by joining the National Miners
Union. The National Miners Union,
because of the bad conditions in the
anthracite, is growing and will grow
faster in the future. The National
Miners Union will wage an intensive
fight in the coming struggle. 1t is
the only hope for lettering the con-
ditions of the miners.

Wokeso Rrlan COPPER Works Get Lou Wages Sold Correspondent Sa
Lumber Workers, Organize
to Beat the Clearing House!
a. a Worker CORRESPONDENCE

by Worker Correspondent
SPOKANE, Wash. (By MaiD D.
Ten years ago, in spite of the war
hysteria, the lumber workers were
demanding and taking fairly good
wages and conditions. On the Coast
nine years ago the lumber workers
voted to tie up every camp in the
Northwest if the l. w. w. hall was
closed in Seattle.
Immediately wages went up from
one to two dollars. Choker settlers
received $3.50 and 81, and the
hooker kept his mouth closed. The
workers had met the test and came
thru with flying colors.
In 1922 the lumber bosses cut
the wages and in 1928 found the
union on the job for better condi-
tons once more.
Blacklisted.
In September 1923, when a strike
was called, those who struck were
blacklisted.
A clearing house was started in
Portland, Oregon, as an experiment.
1t should have been met with gen.
eral strike. But it was not, and the
four years that followed were years
of nothing happening for the lumber
workers.
