 FISTIC ENCOUNTER
Battle Led to Arrest and Small Fine in City
 Court
ROW OVER UNPAID BILL

A lighted cigarette and a ham, mer were used as weapons in a fight over the price of two bushels of potatoes and ended in the ar rest of the combatants, Phillip Kabat, 24, of 124 Plaza avenue and Lawrence Cullum, 28, of IA Wall street. Kabat lost the decision in the actual fight but gained a draw in court this morning, judgment which brought him no gleam of satisfa ction for he. had to pay the same fine, $2 each, as his opponent. He has very sore optic to nurse as rseult of the fight.
 According to Cullum he made several visita to Kabat to collect the price of the potatoes he sold him two weeks ago. One word borrowed another and then to a fight. Cullum claims that Kabat hit him over the head with a ham, mer. And the comeback was a swift one. Bang! Cullum's fist landed on Kabats eye. Being in a hurry to register hit and to escape further punishment from the hammer, Cullum didn't wait to remove lighted cigarette from his hand. The hot end of the flag connected with Kabat's eye.

The army of the working class has self-disci- pline and everyone of you who are our standard bearers will realize how important it is that the march to London stand out for all time as a splendid example of the heroic, grim determination of the workers to carry forward the strug- gle in a disciplined military man. ner."
 The Morning Post. conservative, has branded the movement as thoroughly communistic and all leges that it is acting according "to thinly yelled instructions of Mos cow" It alleges that the funds to finance the hunger march are coming from Moscow and that it is part of move to overthrow capitalism and establish commun- ism.

The board has set up a sinking fund which it is hoped will eventually wipe out the $50,- 900 bonds, used in the construc- tion of the course so far. Funds left over each month from the pro- ceeds now being received will go toward paying labor necessary for the laying out of the remaining nine holes.
 It was pointed out that the city is under enough obligations at the present time, without burdening it any further with bonds to pay for the construction of nine more golf course holes. Members of the un- employed of the city will be kept at the course continuing the work of removing rocks, stones and shrubbery while funds from the present nine holes continue to come in
