BARGAIN OFFERED
TO BOXING FANS
BY FIGHT CLUB

A bargain in fights for the fight
fans, and free bargain for the Ia
dies, is the offer made this week by
the Imperial Valley Athletic club
for the Friday night card.
Instead of the customary card OF
10, six and two four-round events,
Matchmaker Harry Woodbury. has
arranged an all-star card of five
six-round events, with six main
eventers appearing in the lineup.
Mickey O'Neal, who heads the list
with Sammy Aguirre, is coming
here well recommended as fighter
who knows his business and likely
to do things to Sammy unless the
latter has better night than when
he fought Alicante Aguirre gave
the Filipino a sound trouncing but
with several assets in his favor he
was unable to stop the island fight
er.
frankie Arregon, veteran valley
fighter, will display his wares again
with Russ. Bradford, newcomer, as
his opponent. Although unknown
here, Bradford is said to be real
fighter and should give frankie a
tough argument. Arregon has not
been seen on local card in several
weeks and while he is not the flash
that he was few years ago he is
still good enough to be ducked by
many of the coast boys who think
they are some fighters.
Johnny Ramirez, who also fought
Alicante here, and took a trimming
after a great fight, will mix with
AL Wolgast, brother of the former
lightweight champion. Ad Wolgast.
Johnny has plenty of fight in him
and Wolgast is said to be the same
type as his brother.
Jimmy Alvaredo, nice looking little
Hollywooder, who has given the fans
number of fine scraps here, takes
On a tough proposition in Young
David, the walloping Filipino, who
has seven kayoes in eight starts
Jimmy will have to be good to get
by this one.
Last Saturday night Johnny Mar
tinez was on for the main event at
the Main street club in Los Angeles.
This week he opens the local Gard
with Mariana Cebu as his opporlent.
Cebu is anxious to make a comeback
before local fans after couple of
disastrous scraps and will be in
there to slaughter Johnny.
The first bout will be called at
$50 and fans are urged not to miss

MURDEROUS GANG
ATTACKS WORKER

PATERSON, N. j., May 19.-Isi-
dor zuckerman, a member of the
Food Workers Industrial Union,
working in a shop at Governor and
Paterson Streets, which has been or
ganized by the F.WI.U. from the day
it opened, was the victim of a bru-
tai attack by company union gang
sters.
The gang of about 10 was led by a
$40 a week paid agents of local 165,
International Bakers, which stands
for bad conditions and long hours
The gang had in it Philip Jacoby,
the paid official, Sam Baum, Morris
Strassberg, and Sam Me, butcher.
The latter struck at zuckerman with
butcher knife, from the back while
the others were beating him up with
all kinds of weapons from in front
The knife cut through his coat and
vest from top to bottom, but by mere
good fortune did not slash his body.
Sarah Plotnick, a sympathizer pas
sign by protested the outrage, and
was herself beaten up.
The food workers are highly in
dignant at this assault and as deter
mined as ever to organize Paterson.

NE WYORK.-In connection with

market Hillman issued an order that

Clothing Workers be held during the
coming five weeks. This is part OF
the plan on the part Of Hillman's
machine to halt the movement devel-
oped by the rank. and file committee
of the Amalgamated membership to
fight against wage cuts, speed up and
piece work, for the rejection of Hill
mans speed-up and wage cut agree
ment, and to put up fight to bet
ter the conditions of the workers.
At the same time. while the nego-
tiations are going on, there is an
other wave of wage cuts taking place
throughout the city, Wage reduc-
lions have been forced on the work
ers at Simon Alderman s: Co, TED
Louis g. Co., Kopellow, Marx, AND
Sirrota, and many others. The wage
reductions now forced on the work
ers by the Hillman machine on the
very eve of the renewing of the OLD
agreement, should serve as a signal
to the workers what they may ex-
pect right after the renewal of the
agreement.
Disregarding the order of Hill
mans machine not to have any local
meetings, Local 10 of the kneepantS-
makers will meet tomorrow at p. nj

CANADIAN TRIAL
SET FOR MAY 20

indictments against j. Louis Engdahl,
of New York, general secretary of

of Kings Bench here set the trial
for wednesday, May 20.
The prosecution, which parades I'M
der the name of 1.-THE Crown" since
the charges are brought in the name
of The King" was not ready for
immediate trial, pleading for the two
days delay.
Judge Wilson, who is often referred
to as the local Judge Jeffries,' in
comparison with England's infamous
anti-labor judicial tyrant, carefully
plugged up all the loopholes that the
defense lawyers, CARRIER and Calder,
shot into the indictments, charging
seditious utterances, unlawful as
sembly, seditious conspiracy and sedi-
tious assembly.
Judge Wilson himself brought in
the last charge although it does not
appear in the indictment, causing de-
Tense attorney Calder to remark, ut
seems to be the policy here to charge
up with everything in the hope of
convicting us on something"
Previous to the meeting addressed
by Engahl in Montreal on January

Canadian authorities to deport
speakers coming from the United
