In fact the vote was cast
against all recommendations
made by the clique and
against the leadership of the
zsusner gang. The clique receives
only 40 votes as against more thai
800 votes cast against the leader
ship of the Council. The chairman
quickly closed the meeting in re-
luctance to announce the large vote
against the administration.
Local Was Zausner's Stronghold
Local 261 was always considered
the stronghold Of the Zausner gang.
The clique enforced their rule
through thugs and blackjacks At
the last meeting it was quite evil
dent how the membership rebels
against the zausner rule, which ter
rorized the rank and file by gang
sterism. and is guilty of racketeer-
ing and corruption of a serious ma
ture.
L A4C 4CkO1AAl4ACA1h9bAOAA III bAlt re-
newal of the Is cents tax, which was
abandoned because of the opposition
by the membership. was made with
the excuse that this fund is neces-
sary for an organization drive" and
for a strike" This same excuse
was used before by zausner. But
in reality the collected money was
used to support the gangsters in
order to terrorize the membership of
the local,
Would Cooperate With Boss
Colt and Baron spoke in favor
of this recommendation. The first
speaker pointed out that we must
rot demand too much from the
bosses and that we must cooperate
with the bosses. He stated that the
planned Strike" will give the bosses
the possibility to raise the prices
for painting and therefore it is
necessary to help them.
Baron used all kinds of tricks in
order to help zausner. He begged
not to be shamed in the eyes of
zausner and asked for a vote for
the tax and in this way give Zaus-
the possibility to continue with his
regime of terror.
But the painters would not listen
to the advice of the miSleaders and
voted down the recommendations
of the clique.

Mass Actions
Today Against
Dress Lockout
Conference and Mass
Meeting to Unite
Dressmakers

NEW YORK.-Two mass actions
against the dressmakers' lockout are
scheduled to take place today.
The first action will take place at
noon at 26th st. and Eighth Ave,
under the leadership Of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,
It will be a demonstration against
the lockout, a mobilization to unite
the locked-out workers with those
who are in the shops against the
betrayal of the officials Of the Inter
national Ladies Garments Workers
Union, who tricked the workers into
accepting the lockout without a
fight,
The second action will be in the
form of an emergency conference,
called by the left wing group of the
I. L, G. w. u, at 4;S0 pm, at Irving
Plaza Hall, Irving Place and 18th
St.. At this conference the shop
chairmen of both the locked -out
shops and the shops which are
working will get together to work
out plans to unite all the workers
for a general struggle against the
violation of the contractors and
jobbers' agreement.
The chief violation of the agree
ment is the lockout. Aside from
this, the conference will open a Wig
orous campaign for the payment of
the union scale and the abolition Of
overtime work.
These violations have been winked
at by Zimmerman, HICKMAN and
other leaders of the International.
Conferences now taking place be-
tween the leaders of the Interna-
tional and the contractors and job
bers indicate that the workers will
be ordered back to the shops today
or tomorrow under conditions gem
orally worse than before the lockout
The mass meeting at noon today
and the conference of the left wing
group will mobilize the workers for
a fight against these conditions.

ALL in all, some exhibitions were
n put up which fans, who follow
the game, would have travelled 3
long way to see. The boys put up
some real fighting, in the way
fighting stands for, without the
use of pOwderpuffs and mani
cured fingernails. The only thing
these worker sp0rtsmen lacked
was the polish and ring technique
of long boxing experience.
It was kind of tough on the ar
fist sitting next to me who
thought he might be able to draw
a couple of caricatures. There
were 10 smashed noses, broken
hands, cauIifIowered ears, nor
the tOughness that surrounds the
faces of many pugilists. They
were a bunch of clean cut boys,
who were out there fighting in a
workers sport tournament, maxi
ing the best of the equipment,
training and knowledge they had
acquired in a short time,

But, we dldn see the thing
narrow down to the finest
boxers, because there were
not enough entries. What
we saw were the ordinary run of
fights which we see in the pre-
linninary bouts of an amateur
contest, where the only thought
of the fighter is to smash the
opposing face as many times as
he could, then hope for a de-
eision,
The technique of boxing wasn't
mastered by these worker sports
men, They tried to box; they had
gloves on. And that was the only
barrier between clothes and street
fight.
THE first bout between Andonshko
l of the Manhattan Lyceum d54
pounds and Levine from the Amer
lean Youth Club (152) started right
off the bat with a barrage of
punches which dizzied my eyes
with their lightning connec-
tions. Peculiarly enough, nobody
went down. After the first bonn
bardment of fists and shoulders and
tangled legs, the boys spared off to
rest for minute, then to resume
again their fist-to-fist-s lugging fest.
The first round was pretty we'll
even, since both were on the re-
ceiving and connecting end. In the
second round, the smuggling arms be-
gan to tire, and the punches be-
came ineffective. At the close of
the round Andonshko was so tired
that he couldn't return to the ring
for the third round, Levine,
longshoreman, won on a technical
knockout.
Both boys we're handicapped by
the lack of equipment. Instead of
the glorious bathrobes and roper
toire of trainers and the proper
ring attire, both wore their street
shoes and socks and slipped around
the floor.
a.
IN the second bout of the evening,
i Leonard (15o), steel metal
worker from the Spartacus Club,
pranced out against Bonderick (147),
a student who was attired in his UNI
derwear. They came out warily,
cycling each other, until suddenly
Bonderick heaved an arm in
through Leonard's guard and then
came the exchange of punches.
Bonderick won the bout in the sec
ond round by technical kayo.
Bertan (122) of the American
Youth Club came out in his bathing
suit against Quartano's 132) street |
shoes. The student and clerk put |
up a sweet exhibition of boxing
In the first round Bertan floored |
Qusrtano with a singing jab But |
despite the hard hitting punches
thrown by Bertan, Quartano won
the first round because of Bertans
low punches. The fight ended in
the second round after Bertan |
floored Quartano three times, in a
technical knockout for Bertan.
In the fourth bout, Gula and
Shapiro, 1876 and 129 pounds, re-
spectively, went at it tooth and nail |
for three long rounds, interspersed |
with the heated coaching at the end
of each round. BY this time the
audience was aroused by the spirit
of winning and hitting, and advice
ran high. Towards the end of the
third round, both fighters became
arm weary Shapiro won a close
decision from Gula.
Topping off the fights for the
evening, Breitman 145), from the
Spsrtacus Club, and Kerekis (145), |
from the Manhattan Lyceum, put
up a dandy fight, Each round was
marked by real fighting and each |
round ended in draw. The fight
ers Rugged each other happily
when the referee called the bout 8
draw.

first of all, whether it means con-
forming to the customs or rules
imposed for some other line of bus
ness In some other community, or
not.
We agree in principle with the
idea of keeping unfair competition
from outside of the trade territory
of independent local merchants. We
have not seen much of that so far,
however, in the operations under
the NRA. 1t was our understand
ing, and the Presidents declared
purpose, to put the small business
man on an equality with the big
business men. From all we hear.
big business is we'll pleased with the
results under the codes SO far, bu,
many small business men are not.
Therefore, as we have said, we
welcome the news that these
small, local businesses r lot te
be included in the new set-up of
the NRA.
