SHOWS
PROMISE:
DEMPSEY
By JACK DEMPSEY

Ernie Schaaf's slashing knock
out victory over Vittorio Campolo
indicates that the big blond
finally has arrived.
Schaaf was a splendid boxer al
most from the beginning Of his
career. He knew most of the
tricks of covering when danger
menaced him, and he was expert
in the art of stabbing with his
left hand. He is a powerful
youngster and there always was
belief that he could hit with
crumpling force.
Playing Safe
But Schaaf. for long time, was
a disappointment to his army OF
admirers because he seemed to be
passing up opportunities to finish
his men, seeming to prefer to win
on points rather than take the
risk involved in trying to knock
out his rival.
Some claimed that Ernie was
playing too much safety first"
whereas others accused him OF
being a slow thinker, falling to
recognize opportunities when
they presented themselves.
Apparently, Ernie was just
biding his time. He was perfect
ing himself first in boxing. He
reached the peak in that part of
the game and then proceeded to
acquire the knack Of polishing off
his ring enemies.
The best thing that happened
to Schaaf was when Jack Shar-
key and Johnny Buckley took
over his management and fur
ther tutoring. Sharkey is a
smart, keen fighter. He knows
all the tricks of the game. He
taught Schaaf short punching;
schooled him in how to get his
body into his drives. And Schaaf
has since demonstrated that he
Is a most apt pupil.
Can Take Plenty
Beating Campolo from one bell
| to the other and then finishing
him with a terrific body attack
in the seventh means that Schaaf
now can be lifted from out OF
the prospect" class and be rated
along with several others as a
fellow that Max Schmeling must
whip to perpetuate his prestige
as champion.
The CampolO fight not only
showed that Schaaf can deal
out q withering fire but that
he can take plenty without
backing away.
And when a fellow can hit,
can box, can take it, and has
youth and strength and amazing
stamina in addition, he really
becomes a noticeable somebody
in heavyweight realms.

many that are seen in capitalist

up in the Spring But now. as their
growi, they are beginning to realize
that the Daily Worker is telling the
truth while all the capitalist papers
are packed with lies.
Last winter the workers around
here refused to cut ice at 15c. per
hour, which forced the bosses to pay
zoe. But now, labor here is only
getting from, SOC. per day without
meals UP to s1oo a day with dinner

will give impetus to this drive.
I have worked on pea picking for
81 per day for hours work and had
to buy food and lodging on that. Now
on cherry picking was offered meals
and cot in the open spaces in re-
turn for work. So that is what they
wan4 to make us unemployed do
nc. expect any wages, but go back to
day of slavery and work for keep,
which the ranchers are offering now.
Silva will surely get q medal from
Hayward "kulaks" for that.
Are we going to give up even the
meagre standards of living labor has
won through sacrifice for the number
of years and sign up as slaves? No.
We will organize more strongly into
the unemployed council and as we
did before when we served our no.

were forced to give some pretense at
relief-this time we will make our
voices stronger and more effective

said: I'VE will have 70 take all the
wealth from the bloated millionaires
of this country ana give it back to
the workers who produced it, just like
they did in Moscow Russia, for there
they no longer have unemployment

Workers and farmers here have
watched with interest the recent hum

gusted with the cowardliness of their

much about Communism, they say:

Attacked by Court

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June al
The State Supreme Court revoked
bail on Luesse, the leader OF the
Indiana unemployed in the frame-up
contempt case without any justifica-
ton, and took time out to make a
vicious attack on the leader of the
unemployed who is now serving a
three year sentence on the State
Farm for fighting an eviction. The
court ordered Luesse to be arrested
as soon as he is released on appeal
in the eviction case which is going
to the Supreme Court. The mass
sentiment against this vicious falling
is growing.
There is already good response
to the Workers Trial entitled "Luesse
VS. the Capitalist. State" which will be
held under the joint auspices of the

CHATTANOOGA, June 21.-Three
Florida branches of the Internatic-
nal Labor Defense were formed last
week during the tour of Helen Marcy
organizer of the Southern District
T. L. D. The Ella May branch, COM
posed of IL members, was established
at TT. Lauderdale, and another
branch in Pensacola.
Marcy's tour is part of the /. l.. D.
campaign to build 1. l.. D. branches
throughout the South for the purpose
of establishing a strong apparatus to
defend workers arrested for paticipa-
ton in labor struggles. At present,
these branches are concentrating on
the major campaign of the I. L. D.
today-that of organizing q broad,
mass defense movement to release
the nine Negro boys convicted on
frame-up charge at Scottsboro, Ala
banla. Wide literature distribution,
raising funds, and drawing in Of new
members are some of the immediate
steps taken by these branches.

the boys has all along been based
on the demand for the unconditional
release of these nine Negro children,
victims of one of the most brazen
and murderous frame-ups In the
history of American capitalism and
its brutal terror against the working
masses. Committing death sentence
and sentencing the boys to a living
death will not stem the tide of angry
mass protests nor swerve aside for
even a fleeting instant the mass fight
to free the boys The workers, black
and white, have seen this trick
played before-in the case of Tom
Mooney and scores of other innocent
victims Of capitalist justice.
On with the fight to save and free

A drop again in the totals on
Thursday to $7S44s. With only
about ten days left till July I, there

keep the Daily Worker from going
under. Can you do it, fellow-work-

The boss and forelady of the shop
are treating the workers like slaves.
Insulting the workers, calling them
all kinds of names. Many times the
workers don't even get paid what
comes to them according to the
prices. The boss is actually robbing
them. He puts into the pay envelope
just as much as he pleases. If a
worker protests against 1t, he or she
is told to pack up.
The discomfort of the workers is
growing, especially since the last
wage cut was announced. The Nee
die Trades Workers Industrial
Union is issuing a leaf1et to the
workers, and also organizing a com
mittee of the workers. The union is
also going to issue a leaflet to the
other parts makers of St. Louis to
mobilize them for struggle and to
