Inasmuch as brothers Rudy and

can be taken at tnelr lace value,
however, the youngster may click

That Boesch and Rudy will
provide one Of the hottest bouts

Even as Rudy is intent upon
an eventual shot at Jimmy

just as determinedly pointing for

This is the second time San Diego
fascist gangs have threatened to

That the fascist gang threaten

the circumstances surrounding the
delivery of the first threat. This

carrying only a two-cent stamp, was

its transportation workers. The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, the Order of Railway Con-
ductorS and the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainnen were involved
in the walkout of some 1875 workers.
With wage scale of little more
than so cents an hour, the workers
demanded new contract to pro-
vide for extra compensation Tor
extra mileage, according to C. w.
Jones and w. D. johnson, strike
leaders. This is controversy
over general working conditions, !"
they said. I'VE are not asking for
any increases here, but we do want
a restriction on the number of
miles a man runs and extra COM
pensation for it"
The strike was 100 per cent effec-
tive, all trains being stopped, and
the city of Annapolis virtually iso-
lated, since the road is its chef
transportation channel. Between
Washington and Baltimore passen-
gere were transferred to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad.

Kansas Crusher Men
Return After WaIkout

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. "a
After staying out on strike for two
weeks, 45 workers of the Centrophic
Crusher Company returned to work
here with a raise of five cents an
hour. However, the men will only
work 25 hours week, thus earning
less than they previously did.
The strike, which was caused bv
the attempt of the employers to
force the men to sign yellow-dog
contracts, was conducted by the
American Federation of Labor Bit
terness among the men is expressed
at the fact that the A. F. of L. did
not organize the strikers into a
local on the specious ground that
there was no A. F. of L. union for
quarry workers.
