Chairman Carl Vinson Democrat,

that he would ask the Rules Commit

In the pcrning the House Naval
Affairs Committee was told by Ad-

Bureau of Construction and Repair,

supposedly goes for increased wages.
Little Employment
Admiral Land revived the fiction
that "34 per cent of the present $685.

goes to labor" When this manifest
blurb was first used by Secretary Har-
old Ickes in his early P.WA. bally-
hoo, even high administration Bureau
of Labor Statistics officials laughed.
The latest figures of this bureau, the
only ones they have on structural
steel construction, shows that only
about 36 per cent goes to labor.
Land revealed that the total of men

employment claims of the propo-

the press reports and the coal COM

for the collieries not working is due
to lack Of orders.
This is an old story that is reported
In every strike to demoralize the

Maloney threatens to enter suit in

A wave of enthusiastic support for
the strike has spread among the hotel
workers everywhere who see in this
first big strike since 1922, the hope of
building strong union and of de-
feating the growing power of the
company union OF the Hotel Guild.
The Guild was formed after recent
N.R.A. hearings with the avowed aim
OF protecting its members against

the Guild received $4,000 from the
American Hotel Association to keen

bers in different fraternal organi-
cations, the majority of whom are
rank and file workers.
The first strikebreaking move was
made by the Hotel Guild yesterday
when it sent kilograms to unemployed
walters instructing them to report for
work Immediately.
Picket lines are being maintained
at the Waldorf entrances and also at

filiaates, to prevent any scabs from
being sent to take the places of the

DEMONSTRATION.


Mike has not only boxed
he was, as we mentioned in
yesterdays column, an intercollegiate
state champ not so long ago-but has
given q lot Of thought to the entire
science Of the game. We offer the
continuation OF his articles here
feeling that many boxers-would- be
Or otherwise-and fight fans among
our readers will enjoy them. We Will
have more Of them from time to
time.
THE APPROACH TO BOXING
Part II
In the unfavorable attitude or set
Of them, of which we speak, we find
an open sesame" to the game. For
therein we find either absolute fear
Of fistic consequences, or the conflict
looming between that fear of con-
sequence and a boys pride and false
Courage-both born of social edicts
and taboos. Where we discover the
first condition, it is best, under pre-
vailing instruction, OF abandon the
idea Of building a boxer. In the sec
ond case, due to the continuous duel
between the man and his own clash
ing feelings, forcing him to fight
himself as well as the opponent, we
must try to have him take one side
of the fence or the other before we
may dream Of him as an effective
student of the sport.
How often have you seen man
find himself? Or even a champion
finding himself? 1t is certainly the
result of a sudden clearing of the
fogs of conflict, of a precipitous
solidfying Of a new attitude in which
the fear Of consequences is shaken
free, ceasing to hamper the boxer.
The emotional seething stops its
tyranny over the attitude
Further, the partial finding of
a boy is seen in the rapid improve
ment following a victory in first
fight, causing inhibitions to fall
like shackles from his mental
mechanism. And, on the other
hand, have you not seen the sad
case of the CHAMPION turning
chu1np? Joe Dundee is one. Their
fear, the loss of the title, rivets the
attention and befogs their attitude
so that effectiveness is reduced to
zero.
TEAR Of consequences is built about
Z a distaste for either physical or
mental hazard, or both. Many are
reluctant to mess their AppolloeSque
faces, many want no cauliflowers, ribs
smashed, noses hashed, etc. Some
fear the Knockout punch. And some
just recoil at the thought of losing a
bout The conditioning of any of
these phases to the activity of boxing,
if left unguided, may lead to the as
sumption of a fearful attitude toward
the whole sport.
That fearful attitude, once built
into the nervous system, would brand
him yellow" which term is catch
word of the ignorant, whose lack of
fistic psychology is thus shown.
1t is unquestionable in my mind
that the man who has so conditioned
himself that he does no longer attach
an emotional aspect to the sport and

fight for markets between the United
States and Great Britain, was
ignored, except for one oblique re-
mark by Glass. He asserted that in
stead Of "stabilizing" currencies, as
the administration euphemistically
promises, the bill will cause friction
and retaliation all over the world"
The big wage cut that will result
from the scheme to deyalue the dol
lar at so to 60 percent of its normal
value was emphasized only indirectly
since the only ones who touched this
subject were opponents whose real
object in attacking the program is
to protect banks and to insure bust
ness mems confidence.
More Initiation
In fact, the Administration Spokes-
men hesitated to launch positive
arguments for the bill-theirs was
the role of meeting the attacks and
letting it go at that. For that mat
Ter, Repubncan as well as Demo-
cratic kingpins agree that the votes
for enactment are already insured.
It was Senator Tom Connally of
Texas who boldly put the program
forward as safe" inflationary
scheme. He unabashedly called at
tention to the fact that, you will
recall that the day the President an
nounced his gold program, stocks and
bonds went up" and shouted, II re-
gard the gold program as the great
est measure proposed by the Presi-
dent"
