Professional Wrestling.
The professional boxing racket
in New York City is becoming so
obviously fake to the public that the
State Boxing Commission, the eX-
ecutive committee of the promoters,
has taken a hand in the situation
and decided that from now on
wrestling matches shall be listed as
exhibition matches" The wrest-
ling trust has been putting on such
fake matches that the cash custom
ers have let out howl and refused
to pay for such clumsy hippodrome
acts. Therefore the commission, in
order to safeguard the profits of
the promoters, has decided to call
them exhibitions.
Professional sports are used not
only to make money for the pro-
moters, but to also detract the at
tention of the workers from the
class struggle. The best way to kill
the influence of professional sports
upon the workers is to build up a
strong Labor Sports Union.
l.. S. U. Boxing.
The Eastern District of the La
bcr Sports Union New York; is
arranging an open boxing meet, to
be held the first week in June. All
workers interested to participate in
this meet should write to the East

L. S. U. Attacked by Bosses Court.
This Monday the case of Walter
Burke, secretary of the l.. S. IT,,
and A. Heikkila of Norwood comes
up at the district court of Dedhanl,
Mass, on an appeal of former de-
cision of Judge Sanborn that these
two comrades were found, guilty
for violating the Sunday sports law
by trying to go through with a
scheduled basketball game. The
Judge fined both $50 each. The
working class must defeat this
maneuver of the bosses to prevent
the L. S. U. to carry on sports ac-
tivities on Sundays by raising suf-
ficient funds to fight the case. All
working-cla organizations are
asked to rush donations for the de-

Would Welcome Soviet
Representative.

But even as things are today, 1
am sure the people of Iraq would
welcome Soviet representative in
Baghdad and would be glad to enter
into direct trade relations with the
Soviet Union. OF course Great
Britain would not like this, but she
cannot openly object as she herself
has resumed diplomatic relations
with Soviet Russia, and as other
Powers, such as France, Germany,
etc.. are represented in Iraq.
lraq is also very anxious to come
into closer relation with the new
Turkey and Persia, for which coun-
tries there is great sympathy. Brit
ish Imperialism would not agree to
the independence Of Iraq because it
fears that an independent Iraq
would form an anti-British block

For Complete Independence.
AS far as Iraq is concerned, |
must, say that we are determined to
achieve our full national indepen-
dence and are striving. to bring
shout a Federation of independent
Arab States. But of course the first
step is the removal of the British
occupation and the Mandate. The
recent fall Of the Cabinet was ex-
pected, because no Cabinet can exist
which is unable to bring about the
abolition Of the Mandate. No Iraq
Government can accept the treaty
proposed by the British Govern
rnent, as this treaty would reduce
Iraq to the position of Egypt and
legalize Britain's occupation.
The demand to enter the League
Of Nations is being made only be-
cause the hope has been held out

inhabitants of Good Hope use it

The two boys were still at
some distance from us, when sud
denly four magnificent ostriches
rose from the sand where they
had been sitting.
Jack and Franz perceived them,
and, with a great shout, drove
them toward us. In front a a
splendid male bird, his feathers
of shining black, and his great
tail plume waving behind. Three
females of an ashen gray color
followed him. They approached us
with incredible swiftness, and
we're within gunshot before they
perceived us. Fritz had had the
forethought to bind up the beak
of his eagle so that, should he
bring down an ostrich, he might
be unable to injure it.
He now threw up the falcon,
which, towering upward, swooped
down upon the head of the fore
most bird, and so confused and
alarmed him, that he could not
defend himself nor continue his
flight. So greatly was his speed
checked that Jack overlook him,

boys, ''how the natives of India
secure a newly captured eie-
phant?'
"Oh, yes!" said Fritz; ''they
fasten him between two tame ele-
tphants. Wen do that to this fine
fellow, and tame him double

1.-THE only difficulty will be- re-
marked Jack, that we have no
tame ostriches. However, | dare
say Storm and Grumble will have
no objection to perform their
part, and it will puzzle even this
great monster to run away with
them"
So we at once began operations.
Storm and Grumble were led up
on either side of the recumbent
ostrich, and the cords secured to
their girths. Jack and Franz, each
armed with a stout whip, mount,
ed their respective steeds, the
wrappers were removed from the
birds eyes, and we stood by to
watch what would next occur.
For some moments after the
of his sight he lay perfect
ly still, then he arose with a
bound and, not aware of the cords
hampered him, attempted
to dash forward. The thongs were
stout, and he was brought to his
knees. A fruitless struggle ensued,
and then at length, seeming to

Why the Tears?

It has always been a source OF
wonderment to me why AL Jol-
son has such IL yearning to make
his movie audiences cry.
I have been watching Uncle AL
since the days when he first
stepped out on a runway for the
ShubertS in order to get close to
his audience, and it has always
been my belief that Jolson is seen
at his top-notch best when he
is punctuating his spoken laughs
with the songs he sings so well.
Yet he seems to love to be a
screen Hamlet"
In 1.-THE Jazz Singer" and 1.-THE
Singing Foop' and Say 1t With
Songs" and now in Nanny
there are definite narrative over
tones of emotional content de-
signed to shov. that the million
aire minstrel can play upon your
heart strings. Nanny" is not
overloaded with sentiment but the
dominating motif of the Irving
Berlin story departs too often
from the comedy mood.
My personal explanation for all
this is an evident belief on the
part of Uncle Al that he is a
great actor with a capital G..
as we'll as a great singer. Having
satisfied the world he can make
it laugh he would now reveal a
further versatility by making it
cry. Just as Charlie Chaplin be,
lieves he would make a great
screen Napoleon" and voices it
from time to time as his sup
pressed desire.
All of which to lead up to an
observation hat the potential
great Jolson pictur will lie the
one where he concentrates on
laughs and singing, leaving others
to generate the tears.
