champion.
Richard knew how to make this
slogan impressive. He was always
able to produce a foreigner base
enough to try to take the title away.
This kind of thinking was supple
mented with another angle during
the Dempsey Carpenter issue. Then
was suddenly heard the hue and cry
over DempSey's war record. Demp-
sey had been a Stacker while Car
pentier had been a hero. It was
state Of things to make the blood
boil and the cash register bulge,
Carpenter never had a chance with
Dempsey; he was put into secret

might announce this, on the basis

pentier, being fully aware of his
chances, avoided much training,
The Stacker and hero story served
to arouse an interest in the French
man amcng those who might not
otherwise have been enthused in
his behalf.
Richard knew well how the land
lay. Dempsey could have knocked
out Carpenter in one round. But
o Richard called Dempsey in, ere
the bout went on, and begged him
to carry his fiddling opponent
along, to make the disappointment
lighter in the breasts Of those who
had come to see. But when Car

second round, Dempsey considered
canton above the paIpitating GUS

him quickly.

Charley Mitchell, who made the at

whom he had tried to fool. Firpo,
the Wild Bull, was, like Carpen-
tier, an empty threat, 1t will all
ways be believed that he actually
knocked out Dempsey-and Kearns
treated the referee of that fight

the bout, Firpo would never have

Facts About Strike
At GarSide Plant

NEW YORK-The following
minority report of three workers
of a committee elected to investi-
gate the Garside Shoe strike in
Long Island City throws some
light on the way the A. F. Of L.
officials are trying to break the
strike:
"At a meeting of the Filters
local of the Boot and Shoe Work
ers Union held on May 8, COM
mittee of seven members was
elected to investigates the strike
at the Garside Shoe Co. The
election of this committee came as
result of an Overwhelming de-
mand on the part of the filters
present at that meeting to admit
committee Of strikers to speak
in behalf of the strike and about
the role that the Boot and Shoe
officials are playing in this strike.
1.-THE top officials of the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union refused
to admit the committee of strikers,
but had to yield to an investiga-
ton committee. What is the re-
suit of this Investigations
Two reports-one coming from
Held, Jackson, Sazorsky and Trest,
part of the committee who adj
mitted unofficially that the work
ers at the Garside factory were
forced to join the Boot and Shoe
by the firm with threats of dis
charges. They admitted, also I'M
officially that the Boot and Shoe
Union signed up the shop without
even the knowledge of the crew.
But when it came to the report,
these individuals failed to go into
these questions.
1--WE, Siegal, Oster and Fem, the
rest of the committee, reported
that we have confined ourselves
to the main issues of the strike.
1.-THE facts found out in the in
vestigation can lead to one con-
olusion, namely, that the workers
at Garside are justified in their
strike. Our proposal is that the
Boot and Shoe cancels the agree
ment and that the officials with
draw from the factory. We call
upon the members Of the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union to sup
port our recommendation and to
support the strike at the Garside
factory (SignedD

He has become a subject
for the histories of Amer
lean culture. Probably no
man, in the days when his
picture decorated every bar
Der shop in the country, held the
imagination of the public as he did
He was the last heavyweight cham
pion Of the bare knuckle days; and
he reigned during the bravura
thinking. He fought on barges out
in the rivers and ne fought in
stables away from the cities, and
his manly form embellshed every
issue of the Police Gazette. Yet,
though his profession was looked
upon as kin TO the saloon and
gambling house, he was great
man even to philosophers, princes
and preachers. 1t is still privilege
in some places to shake the hand
that shook the hand Of John L.
Sullivan. To the youth, of course,
he occupied a much higher station
than the President of the United
States. His contests were things
for purple reports, his exhibitions
were always Decentralization
sometimes he won these matches by
having an opponent slugged over
the head from behind curtain
Even in his end we have the typical
American polish. It would have
been an unnatural thing If he had
expressed a desire to be buried with
a copy Of the Police Gazette for a
pillow.
1t is not surprising, therefore,
that he always represented the color
Of America in the stories that were
told about him, The story of the
great John L. telling the Prince of
Wales just to mention his name
whenever he came to Boston and
the town would be open to him, is
a typical one. All his life he was
the hero of wealth of such anec-
dotes. And he was an American
patriot to the core.
To his patriotism we owe the
most sterling anecdCte In ring
history. The story established a
tradition that is still believed in
and whoOped up by the faithful.
We find this tradition now franz
ing the championship fight be-
tween Baer and CarnerO. It Is
contained in the pi0us EXPRESSION
uttered by John L. as he was
brought to his senses after being
knocked out by Gentleman Jim
COrbett. Thank God" were John
LIS first words. "the title remains
in America" 1t was his only hap
piness in the storm and stress.
TO KEEP the title in America, has
ever been the prayer of the patri-
otto publicity agents. The sports
writer's, too, have blown the trum-
pets and into the followers Of the
manly art has been pumped the
idea that this is chant like the
national anthem. 1t has existed

NEW YORK.-Attempts to frame
Louis Weinstock, secretary Of the A.

tary Of Local 499 of the Painters
Union, and L. J. Stevens, president
of the Painters Rank and File Pro-
tective Association, on various
trumped-up charges, are being
made by the notorious Zausner ma
chine in the Painters Union.
Weinstock, wedl and Stevens are
known as militant fighters against
labor racketeers and for rank and
file control of the union. The zaus-
ner clique in the Painters District
Council 9, desperate over continual
defeats and fearing the coming cleo
tons are attempting to get them
out of the way.
Weinstock Is being charged with
having sIandered Harry Rosen, pres
ident of Local 442 in September,
1888, eight months ago, in an article
in the Morning Freiheit," the Jew
ish revolutionary daily. Weinstock
says he can neither read nor write
Jewish.
Frank Wedl is accused of having
called Bruno Wagner, former presi-
dent of Local 400, a notorious po-
litical prostitute" Wagner was later
forced by the membership to resign
from his Office.
Stevens, of Local 848, is charged
with having worked on a Sstur-

special to the Daily WOrker)
PATERSON. N. J., May 16.-The
printers strike here is going strong
with increasing militancy apparent
among the workers. Mrs. Berger,
wife Of the chairman of the Strike
Committee, who was fined S25, was
finally given q suspended sentence.
Her crime" was that of calling a
strikebreaker q rat.
She was on the picket line when
the scabs were escorted by the po-
lice from the newspaper building
and she, together with some hun
bred other pickets, called out
Rats" A police officer came over
and struck her with his fist. She
defended herself against the bru-
tality of the police and was ar
rested. When in court the judge
ruled that the attack by the police
man was not the issue, that the
charge was using offensive and dis
orderly language.
About dozen pickets testified in
Mrs. Berger's behalf, including
Mrs. Bloom, who was marching by
her side when the policeman as
saulted her.
New York newspaper men with
the chapel Of the Times leading,
have passed resolutions to support
the strike both morally and finan-
cially. Circulation of papers here is
down by Is per cent and advertising
has decreased since the strike has
been in progress. The makeup OF
the papers has also been poor.
The scabs being used are causing
damage to the printing machinery
by their poor and inexperienced
handling. These scabs are averag-
ing over 100 hours of work per week,
far in excess of the usual hours
with payroll cost of more than
double what the union men re-
ceived.
