 ID WIN TITLE BOUT
NEW YORK, June 20.

NEW YORK, June 20, - Max Schmeling is ten to nine favor ite to retain his title against Jack Sharkey Tuesday night in the light est betting preceding any heavy weight championship bout in 40 years. Jack Doyle, Broadway bet ting commissioner, announced the official odds, quoting three to two against a knockout in the 15-rounds and three to one against Sharkey knocking out Schmeling.
 we expect the ten to nine odds carry the men into the ring, said the veteran commissioner. Of course, heavy money on their man might change the odds. But think the professional gamblers will come in with their bets fairly evenly balanced about 48 hours before the bout"
 Doyle deplored the lack of ac- tivity among the betting men, pre- ceding what is called lone of the greatest natural gambling bouts ever staged"
 In 40 years of handling the fight bets, he claimed there never had been such scarcity of money.

SEATTLE, June 20, (P-The cry ing need of Alaska, Delegate James Wickersham of Alaska, said here in a newspaper interview, is indepen- ent local control of her natural re- sources. Given that, he said. and Alaska would develop.
 Delegate Wickersham said that Alaska has more government per capita and less liberty, more harm full congressional limitations, than any other American territory"
 It is almost wholly neglected by its national guardians and like ''Topsy," in Uncle Toms Cabin, '.just growed."
 Nobody seems to care a damn what may become of it but in spite of all handicaps, is proportionately the richest possession we own"
 Delegate WickerSham said the reindeer herds have become so numerous that they are now eat ing up the ranges; lack of mar kets and capital make it impossi- ble to ship the deer out of the Ter ritory; lack of patronage will make it impossible to keep them there much longer, all of which is con- sidered just one more problem fac ing Alaska.
 He added that AlaSkans are bet ter equipped than outsiders to solve this problem. It is just anoth- CT instance for the need of local government.
 The Alaska Delegate does not be- lieve Alaska has been treated un- fairly in the recent congressional legislation, considering the gener- al slashing of all appropriations.
 He was unprepared to say what the economic condition of the Ter ritory is now as he has been ab- sent for a year, but he is confi- dent of it's basic prosperity, because of it's natural resources, will solve the financial crisis as did the West and especially so if given state hood. The buying and selling pow CT will be increased immeasura- ply and prosperity will enter like it did with the pioneering of the West. He said that Alaska was pur- chasing approximately S30,O0O,OOC in commodities a year from Seat tie, alone,

DEMOCRATS URGED
 MEET PROHIBITION
 IN SQUARE MANNER

CHICAGO, June 20, The de- mand came from the forces of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion, that the Democratic party meet the prohibition issue square ly with mo pussy-footing" which marked the Republican convention action.
 This was the ultimatum of Jas. A. Farley, strapping six-foot man ager of the New York Governors campaign, who arrived here full of fight and optimism.
 Just how far Roosevelt would go towards re-submission on repeal of the 18th amendment has been a question. Chiefly because most of his strength is centered largely in the west and south, hitherto re- garded as the bulwark of the dry forces, Farley declined to discuss Roosevelt's position in detail today but indicated that the New York Governor, who is on record for 3 change, would stand for a more direct commitment than that of the Republicans in their plank.

An unidentified Negro worker was

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 81
Fourteen workers, IL of them Ne
groes, were murdered by police Of
ficers in Birmingham during the
past II months, according to the
admission of thee Birmingham Post
Of May Is. The actual number of
Birmingham murdered by the police
is probably much greater than the
figures admitted by this boss paper.
In all but two of these murders,
the police have been upheld by the
authorities. AS might be expected of
the southern boss lynchers, all II
murders of Negro workers have been
justified and completely whitewashed
by the ruling class. 1t is this same
Alabama ruling class, backed by the
Wall Street imperialists and the
Negro and white reformists, who are
today attempted to carry through the
legal massacre of the nine innocent
Scottsboro Negro boys.
The two murders by the police held
mot justifiable" were the killing of
Norman Gist, white by Policeman ].
G. Ballard, and Raymond Norris,
killed by Bessemer officers. Gist,
described by the Birmingham Post as
"an innocent bystander" was shot
by Ballard who was allegedly shoot
ing at a suspected" bootlegger. AL
though this murder was declared
mot iustifiable," the officer has
not been rrested and will not be
punished in any way.
In the case of the other mon
justifiable" murder, the Birmingham
Post reports that the murderous police
officer was to have gone on trial
in criminal court Monday on a
charge of first degree msnslaughter
for the Staying, but his case was
passed" This means that actually all
IA murders have been held "justi-
fable"
