IT OVER
by JOE WILLIAMS

NEw YORK, June 9.-Benny
IN Leonard has gone back to
training and the boys say he in
tends to do some serious glove
throwing before the year is over.
Which may or may not be the
truth. Personally, I have my
doubts. Benny has been away a
long time and he is no longer a
pink-faced juvenile. The record
books show he wss IS last April,
and IS is plenty old in the ring
trade.
still, you never can tell. There may be
q few miles left in the old car at that.
Leonard has always taken pretty good
care Of himself. and he was never one
Of those fighters who took much Of a
betting.
There was stin lot of tight in him
when he quit. and the chief reason he
cult was that he thought he had enough
money to last him for life. But since
those days things have happened. Par
ticulariy in the market. And that's where
most Of Leonard's money was.
II is easy enough TO believe that II
Leonard can see a chance 10 stake him
self to two or three attractive purses
without running the risk Of losing his
e=Ss that he will come back.
Leonard had q genuine fondness for the
fight game. It was the only business he
knew and knew we'll. He has been rest
less and Ill at ease ever since he quit
Most OF the good fighters are. and sooner
or later most OF them always come back.
Dempsey has been yearning to fight one
more night ever since that night out on
the lake front in Chicago. The one thing
that keeps him out Of the ring. I suspect.
IS his vanity. He isn't sure he would look
Ike the old man maulet in there any
more. Leonard has his share Of vanity.
too. but IN his present circumstances he
might DO persuaded TO let that 90 for
Sweeney.
It Is interesting TO note that one OF
Leonard's most persistent challengers when
he was tho champion Of the nEhtweights
IS stiu hanging around willing to accept
q bout Whenever he can get one. I refer
% Johnny Dundee. known TO the sports
PAGES as the Scotch wop.
In his saEerness TO keep on lighting.
Dundee is rather pathetic. In his own
mind he Is stin a great fighter. But the
truth is he is merely a shadow Of what
he used to be. They tell me that whenever
Dundee makes 3 trip out OF town he al
ways carries his fighting toys with him.
This may be habit or an idiosynerasy,
dating back to the DAYS when he lived on
trains and fought four or i've times
week IN as many different cities. And
again It may be that smouldering hope
which seems to endure forever in the
hearts Of old time fighters.

Hunger March Movie
Shows Need of WIR
Medical Organization

NEW YORK.-The official moving
picture of the great National Hunger
March will be seen in premiere re-
lease at the Star Casino, 1o7th st.
and Park Ave, on Sunday, Dec. 20,
at 1:30 pm. reveals the tremendous
necessity for the newly established
Workers International Relief Med
ical Unit.
Scores of Hunger Marchers whose
low vitality and undernourished con-
ditions are typical of the physical
depletion of millions of unemployed
workers received first aid from the
Workers International Relief Med
ical Unit which accompanied the
march. This valuable service is
touched upon in the epic moving pic
ture of the great hunger trek.
At least dozen workers were so
poisoned by the charity slop handed
out by the benevolent" rackets at
Washington and Baltimore that they
required further medical attention
upon their arrival in New York. The
Workers International Relief has
placed several of them in hospitals
for special care.

STRIKING FISH
WORKERS RESIST
POLICE ASSAULT

Stab Workers, Women
Rout the Gangsters

the workers and women routed the
bosses and gangsters, who immedi-
ately put in a call for the police AS
soon as the police arrived they
charged the strikers and the women
and sought to arrest one woman who
was speaking. The Women's Council
members showed their fighting spirit
by trouncing several cops rather Sc
verely and wrenching their speaker
from the police. In the melee several
of the fish bosses came out second
best.
Police arrested Dave Ash and Will
, liam Ginsburg, fish workers, while re-
fusing to arrest any of the gangstefs
who were openly flourishing knives
and making sudden lunges at the
strikers.

New Series of Pay
Cuts Hits Workers in
New Bedford, Mass.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Dec. IT,
1t is nothing surprising here for tex
tile workers to come in to work and
find a new wage cut. Last week a
general wage cut was given with the
help of the labor takers Batty-
Beens & Co.
A few days ago the weavers in the
Hathaway mill started to work and
found that another wage cut of IL
per cent was given to all the weavers.
Over 10 weavers were affected by thi-
cut, The National Textile Worke.
Union is arranging a meeting of tn
Acton Committee in this mill to tax
up this cut. We call upon all work
ers, unorganized UTw members and
NTWU members to unite into the
action committee of this mill and
prepare struggle against these wage
cuts.

Science
System of Matter Acts
Oddly Like Nerves.

Some of the qualities of mind" may
exist in dead matter.
Physical systems which might behave
in some ways like the animal nervous
system are reported in the American
Journal Of Psychology by N. Rashevsky
of the Westinghouse Research Labora-
tory.
The most striking characteristic of
the central nervous system, he says, is
that under apparently similar external
conditions the reaction to a given ex-
ternal change may be different, depend
ing largely on the previous history of
the system"
But. he says, something Of the same
kind happens in the physical phenome-
non Of hysteresis. A magnetic iron
bar, subjected to gradually increasing
external magnetic field, becomes more
and more strongly magnetized. Then,
if the external field gradually is re-
duced to zero, when the bar again is
subjected to magnetic field action, the
course of it's magnetization is consider
ably different, depending largely on the
way the field was varied the first time.
Here, he points out, is something
close to the process of learning, or
prof1ting by past experience, in non
living matter. IT. r. H.
