Only IL Farmers Exceed
Their Wheat Allotment

o. w. Anderson, county agent
reports that only ~ out of 900
farms are over their allotment in
respect to the wheat reduction pro
gram. a -
These twelve farms represent only
about 10 acres sown in wheat in
excess of the acreage authorized. Can
any county beat this record? Mr..
Anderson believes that the majority
of these IL farmers acted in good
faith but were ignorant of the exact
acreage of their fields.

Shot By Boss
At NRA Meet
Attacker Was Trying
to Break Philadelphia
Cleaners Strike

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. Bier
nard Shotkin, president of the Vir-
ginia Snow Cleaners and Dyers, shot
and seriously wounded Russell Wat
son, a 23-year-old Negro striker,
outside a Labor Board hearing in
the Bankers Trust Building, Juni-
per and Walnut Streets, yesterday.
Shotkin. through negotiations with
the N.R.A. Labor Board, has been
attempting to break the strike of the
cleaners and dyers which has been
going on here for some time.
Following the shooting Jack Stein.
business agent of the Cleaners and
Dyers Union, was arrested and ac-
cused of instigating an attack on
Shotkin.
A militant delegation of cleaners
and dyers and representatives of the
International Labor Defense visited
Magistrate OMalley and forced him
to raise Shotkin's bail from 81 500 to
$1,000 and change the charge
against him from assault and bat
terry to aggravated assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. The Inter
national Labor Defense also forced
the release of Jack Stein early this
morning. Stein was held under
1900 bond as a material witness 20
the shooting Of Watson, who is I'M
der technical arrest at the jefferson
Hospital in a critical condition.
Watson is held under arrest de-
spite the fact that Shotkin's fellow
employers declared that he had
fred without provocation.
Shotkin has been going around
threatening to shoot for the past
few weeks. He was arrested sew
eral times, but was released and was
permitted to carry gun. He has
been receiving aid from the police
and the police have been giving all
the aid they can to the bosses of
the cleaning establishments. The
shooting is a climax of the reign of
terror that has existed throughout
the strike.
Tonight the strikers are holding
huge mass meeting in Hungarian
Hall to protest police brutality
against strikers and discrimination
by the courts. The meeting will be
addressed by Ann Burlak, leader of
the National Textile Workers Union.

Continued from Page y

county deputy c. w. A. admins
traitor, announced that the prevail
ing wages would be continued.
The G. w. A, had ordered the
local c. w A. wages reduced from
so cents to 40 cents an hour, and
the mass meeting followed Monday
night
Angered over the Roosevelt C.W.A.
pay cuts, 1000 c. w. A. workers
went on strike in Utica, N. Y, on
Monday, demanding a guaranteed
minimum wage Of SIS week, and
marched on the City Hall
While the strikers gathered in
Chancellor Park, a delegation of
seven workers presented the work
ers' demands to G. w. A. direc-
tor, Howard Grayburn. Meanwhile,
more than 1000 sympathetic jobless
workers joined with the ranks of
the C.W.A. strikers.
In an attempt to break the solid
ranks Of the strikers. G. w. A. Adj
ministrator Grayburn announced
that all the strikers might return
to work in the morning with the
exception of 200 who had been
working on protecting walls in

that these are the most militant of
the workers, and promised their
answer to this proposal later in the
day.

working time from 80 to "a hours

coated women, politicians,
actors, workers-all out to
watch the eight annual Col
den Gloves Final champion
ships. But among the fighters, it
was proletarian night.
There was all the pomp of bril-
liant lighting effects and feudal
glory of bugles announcing each
fight. The fighters gave everything
they had. There was a true com
petative spirit unlike the profes-
SIGNALS who are content to coast a.
round here and a round there lust
so long as they come out on TOP.
There were toe-to-toe smuggling
tests, fast electrifying exchanges of
punches, giving and taking until
some one dropped.
FOrty-five thousand six hundred
and twenty dollars was coined in
by the Daily News A. A. They
made a fortune out of exploiting
these amateurs. The money they
made in the semi finals and pre-
liminaries, if it were divided
among the fighters, would have
made their lives easier for some
time. The advertising and in
creased circulation of the news
paper was enough alone to make
staging this tournament a finan-
cial success.
But enough on this graft and ex-
ploitation of which we know. To
the fights themselves for the
moment--which, we confess, carried
us and the rest of the fans away.
THE big arena was in pitch dark
l ness before the fight between a
couple Of 112-pounders, Joe Fra
tello and Charles Olino. Then q
powerful light showered itself upon
the men as they were introduced.
Then the whistle, the clang of the
bell, and bling, BAN, leather met
face, met body; ducking, weaving,
sparring, and the fight began be-
tween Fratello, assistant shipping
clerk, and Olino, a jewelers. office
boy. The shipping clerk had little
too much in his shoulders and arms
for the jewel expert, and he kayoed
the jewelers. boy in tn first round
with an unexpected left hook to the
jaw.
In the 112-pound open class,
butcher and soda clerk got together,
and battle royal was on between
the hammock singer and the soda
jerker; but this time the soda clerk
came to the fore with a technical
knockout in the third round. Then
the students had their show in the
sub-novice 116-pound class. These
two 18-year-old kids went at it
