the various scholastic ath-
letes around the city. Pic

most serious sport with
the scholastics and it will
be noticed in this instance
just how tense and ex-
cited the youngsters sur

There'll be many more
tense moments before the

thrill it'll be to the play
ers to hear that familiar
"swish" as a pointer is

MEET TONIGHT
FOR TITLE

Tonight's the night for Joe
Knight and Cowboy Owen Phelps
to measure off each other at Port
ner's Arena at Alexandria in a
battle for the light-heavyweight
championship of the South.
The distance is 10 rounds and
many are of the opinion that the
Arizona Cowboy will not go that
long. If he doesn't, it will be the
first time in his career that he
has ever been stopped and the
first time he has ever been on the
floor.
There are many who believe just
the opposition. Not only do they
think he will stay the limit, but
has a good chance to get home
first.
Cowboy Is Game
The Cowboy has proven himself
a game ring warrior when the 60
ing gets tough.
His heart keeps sending him
back for more and as a rule the
ultimate end is discouraging to
his opponent. That's when the
Cowboy shines. Along about the
seventh and eighth heats, when
the other fellows legs tire and
his arms grow weary.
Knights hand may some day
be raised as the light-heavyweight
champion of the world. He
knows that and don't want
Phelps to step up and smear the
works. which the Cowboy will
certainly do if he can.
KirkwOOd Returns
Walter Kirkwood and Joe
FinaZzo hook up in the eighth
round semifinal. Kirkwood is
capable of giving the customers
a run for their money. Of late,
however, he has been a don't
care" fighter.

to stick him on the card only
after he promised to fight,

Other prelims feature Henry
Irving VS.. Lloyd Phelps, Cary
Wright VS.. George Earick and

What About Racing

The sport of horse racing in
nearby Maryland's four major
tracks seems to be on the
verge of something or other
none knows exactly what.
The State Tax Survey Com
mission wants to assess a 10
per cent tax on all winning parl'
mutuel bets. Pimlico, which
lost money this fall, would be
particularly affected, as, be-
sides the daily tax of $4,000,
which the three other tracks
also pay. it is subject to a So
900 county tax per day and an
additional $1,000 tax per day
for water and other items.
The general effect of the tax
on all of the tracks would be
that the public would avoid the
races in large numbers, prefer
ring to do their betting at home
with bookmakers who would not
deduct the new proposed tax.

The Story of Cumberland, Md.
and the Hunger Marchers
by Bwrek

Second, the workers have exper-
fenced once more the brutal action
of the ruling class against the I'M
employed.
The workers have seen that not
only the rich rulers and their gov
eminent don't want to be foAced to
pay out real unemployment insu-
ance but that they have soldiers
and police and guns ready to shoot
down the hungry workers at the
first opportunity. This the march
ers did not give them, although the
Washington authorities did every
thing they could to provoke it.
THE treatment accorded the bonus
marchers last summer in Wash
ington; the attacks upon the I'M
employed all over the U. S. in the
past three years and the callous
and brutal reception given to the
hunger marchers in Washington on
December 4th and 5th-all this is
proof enough to millions of the I'M
employed of the class character of
the government.
The fight for Unemployment
Insurance goes on.

The Cleveland group had lodged
the women in a barn for shelter
while the men stood guard about
the fire. Our car coming alongside
with timely provisions brought them
renewed courage, for their stock
was running low. And in this way
we came to the aid of several
groups to cheer them with food and
help them to get their trucks re-
paired.
Had the columns not been inter-

have some interesting stories to tell
of how they stood their ground
against armed state police who,
amazed by the cool courage of the
marchers, pocketed their guns and
retreated.

Metal Workers
Hail the DAILY
BY J. LUSTIG.

(Organizer, New York Local, Metal
Workers Industrial UniOn.)
IN NORMAL times there are about
10000 metal workers employed in
the light and heavy metal shops
in the city of New York. The great
majority Of these metal workers at
the present time, due to the eco
nomic crisis, are unemployed, the
rest are working part time with
heavily reduced wages. Even at
the height of prosperity, only a
very small fraction of those work
ing we're organized into A. F. of
L. organizations.
Since the economic crisis, great
number of this small fraction
dropped out due to the fact that
they could not pay dues, and the
inability and unwillingness of the
A. F. of l.. leadership to lead these
workers to struggle againot the
wage-cutting campaign of the bos-
SeS.
AT the present time there is only
n one organization. the Metal
Workers Industrial Union, that is
organizing these workers in the
struggle for unemployment relief
and insurance, against wage cuts,
the Hoover stagger system, and for
better working conditions.
The approaching imperialist
war makes IT an urgent task for
the labor movement as whole,
and for the Metal Workers In
dustrial Union. in particular, 10
organize the workers of the light
and heavy metal shops, for these
shops can be transformed into
ammunition and poison gas fac
tories overnight.
THE Metal Workers Industrial
l Union has carried on number
of strikes during the past few
months, and is preparing a number
of other strikes in the near future.
In the past struggles, our union
found the DAILY Worker" to be an
effective weapon in the struggle
against the bosses.
The members of the Union are
convinced that strong DAILY
Worker" will be one of the best in
struments in their hands in the
future struggles to fight against
wage cuts, long hours, speed-up,
mass layoffs, and other grievances
Of the workers.
This knowledge Of the metal
workers is a guarantee that they
will do everything in their power
to participate in the celebration of
the 9th Anniversary of the Daily
Worker" the only Einglish-speak-
ing, working class daily newspaper
in the United States
