low the best of us could but make

This pay I have done fairly we'll as

In the speciality where I worked

Letting Money
(By a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.-One day during Au-
gust the business agent OF the
Company Union visited my shop
and called us to a shop meeting the
following day. And SO went to this
meeting to see what they were having
in store for us. The business agent,
Mr.. Softer questioned us as to
whether we have received our July
raises which we never got, but wages
below the scale, $35 and $40 per
week and working just a few full
weeks.
Collect Money
Then the question about July raises
in August was dropped as we are
working day work and then about
single time for overtime. Yes, he
collected $85 from us instead of 5000
for overtime. Some workers were
working day and night while others
were laid off.

who collected this money told us to
come for it in few days. Another
point I wish to mention is that the
business agent never even asked us
how many hours we made but walked
right into the Office of the firm ano
took their word as to how many
hours we made. How much did Mr.
Fischer get for this is what I woulc
like to know and after we came tc
the union for this money they took
one half of it for dues and one thirc
for fine and we received less thar
nothing in return. Then the day
came for pay. The bosses took of
the entire check that he gave to thu
union, even the one third fine which
we kicked about. But it did us NJ
good as we were cornered by the bos'
and his own union the Fur Worker
International Company union.
When will the fur workers oper
their eyes to all this and join thu

I'm perialist Tools

While United States Imperialism
fosters race hatred between Negro
and white workers, British i'm
perialism plays off the mulattos
against the blacks In the West
Indies, thus isolating the darker
population for a super-exploitation
just as the mass Of Negroes in the
United States are isolated from the
white workers for a super-exploita-
ton.
And in both cases, the Carney
misleaders support this super-ex-
ploitation, support the isolation Of
the Negroes from the rest Of the
working class and support inter-
racial prejudices which serve to
split and weaken the Negro masses
and thus hamper effective struggle
against the imperialist oppressors.
Is this a liberation movement?
Negro workers! Repudiate the
takers! Support the revolutionary
struggle against imperialism! Join
the Communist Party and help in
the struggle to overthrow imperial
ism and its race hatred theology.

SHIRES' GREAT "MODESTY"

 To the club, sporting veterans of two world series, including Joe Judge, for years one of the best first basemen in organized baseball, Shires is just another green hand.
 Yet during recent series with the White Sox, the veterans were flabbergasted to hear Shires com pare himself rather favorably with the immortal Wee Willie" Keeler

AL SINGER KNOCKS OUT SAMMY MANDELL, FIRST
 ROUND, CHAMP TITLE

NEW YORK CITY, July 18-Al Singer last. night won the light weight championship by knocking out Sammy Mandell, defending champion, in the first round of a scheduled 15-round match before 25,000 people in the Yankee Sta dium.
 Mandell was floored four times, the last time for the knockout.
 After few seconds of sparring, Singer climbed over the champion and beat him to the floor, the first time with right to the chin from which Mandell never recovered. The young challenger stormed all over Mandell as the champion climbed to his feet, and beat him down for the count of seven, with a volley to the head. He nailed him to the head with a left hook as he rose and sank again for the count of four, before putting over the finishing punch, straight right to the chin
 Mandell dropped as if he had been knifed.
 Short Main Go
 The main go lasted l minute 46 seconds.
 Singer was keyed to such ner- vous pitch that he trembled in his corner, danced, glowered and all but pushed the referee aside in his anxiety to get at the champion.
 The second time Mandell was floored, he lay across the ropes, blood seeping from his eyes and mouth as he hung half out of the ring. He rose at the count of seven and was met by another vicious at tack and again floored for four counts. Nothing was left but courage. He thudded to the canvas the last time and heard nothing until the count of eight. His muscles refused and he rolled over on his face, Slumped back ana was stretched stiff and cold at the count of ten.
 Other Matches
 Midget Wolgast, flyweight cham pion, decisioned Ernie Peters of Chicago in eight rounds, the semi final. The title was not at stake as Peters was half a pound over weight. Peters was faded in five rounds and the final three rounds found him often hanging onto the ropes His left eye was closed in the seventh round. Petey Hayes decisioned with ease over Danny London in four furious rounds.
 Sammy Binder had little trouble whipping Vic Morosco, fe a h r. weight, in six rounds. There were no knockdowns.

long count and kill the shift alto gether.
 T say, if they want to do that, I'll quit and go back to teaching chemistry, or shuffle- board or some thing not so strenuous.
 Possibly majority of college teams now use the shift in one form or another. The one-second stop is all right. It checks the mo- mentum but still gives the offense thse advantage of deception, to which it is entitled The long count on the other hand, will give the defense additional time to size things up and perhaps make the shift worthless as an attacking measure.
 We time our plays at Notre Dame to be on the safe side. The halt in our shift averages 1.2 sec onds. It may vary trifle either way when the boys are properly trained, it is astonishing how con- sistently they will hit that figure.
 All I ask is that any official in our games use a stop-watch and satisfy himself that we come to the full seconds halt If he tries the count of six it will be nearer two seconds than one and that's going beyond the rule, besides being un- fair to the offensive side"
 What Rockne would like to know is why he or some other delegate representative of the shifting schoo, was not given the opportunity of a rebuttal last March when the long count" was inserted into the rules.
