vENEGAS WINS
BY KNOCKOUT

Cleverness, Shiftiness and light
ness of foot shown by Mike VAL
lareal here last night were unable
to withstand the rugged onslaught
of Frankie Venegas, the latter
scoring a kayo against his Arizona
opponent in the main event at
the local arena. The end came
in the third round after a bitter
Seige of infighting.
Vallareal's stiffness Kept him out
of trouble during the opening
round as Venegas tried desperately
to nail his opponent with punish
! ing wallops. He was warned once
/ for butting and again in the third
session referee Tackett had TO call
him to time for throwing his
lighter opponent to the floor during
a scuffle.
Venegas got started in the Sec
ond and his better infighting in
the third proved the downfall Of
the Arizona feather champ. Frank
lie pumped rights and lefts into
Vallareal's midriff and to the jaw
an extra furious barrage putting
an end to the fight in the third.
Two more knockouts featured
the program one of which came
with such startling suddenness that
it could not be appreciated by the
fans. This was in the semi-final
between Art Mccullough and Mike
O'Grady.
These two heavies, Mccullough
a local product and O'Grady hail
ing from Wisconsin seemed to be
evenly matched as they squared
off at the opening of their match.
Art opened up with two hard
rights to the head and O'Grady
got cautious and essayed to carry
on the fight from long distance.
Less than 80 seconds after the
first round had opened, McCul-
Tough bore in and planted two hard
rights to the boldly. O'Grady went
down. tried tc get up but could
MT and then sprawled out as the
fatal 10 was counted over him.
Mccullough had hardly time to
get really started before the fin
ish came. The local boy looks
better every time he shows in
the ring.
Leyvas Wins
Bobby Ieyvas scored a technical
kayo over Joe Cebu in the six-round
special when Referee Tackett stop
ped the bout in the third frame and
raised Bobby's right hand in token
of victory Leyvas who lost de-
cision last Friday to Frankie Vene-
gas looked better last night. The
two boys put up real scrap from
the start with Bobby having the
better of il all the way.
In the third round the Filipino
stood no chance against the pun
ishing wallops Bobby directed at
lis body and head and within a
few seconds after this round open
ed Cebu was woozy and showed the
effects of the punishment he was
absorbing. Tackett's action in stop
ping the scrap when it was appar-
ent that Cebu was due to take still
more punishment before getting the
knockout drops was the only thing
TO be done under the circumstances
Reno Fernandez, Brawley scrap
per. took a six-round decision over
Murder Wilson in the preliminary.
Wilson showed up we'll in the open
ming rounds but Remo's aggressive
ness and hard punching in the last
two rounds earned him the nod He

ring in the last round from a sue

State Attorney.Gene
Fights MONEYS Effort
For Freedom on Writ

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.-The
use of perjured testimony to rail-
road Tom Mooney to a life sentence
cannot upset the jurisdiction of
California courts in the case, Attor-
ney General U. S. webb contends
in brief sent to the United States
Supreme Court in opposition to
MONEYS petition to file a writ of
habeas corpus in that court.
In his brief, Webb denies that the
introduction of false evidence "in-
validated the valid process by means
of which the trial court obtained
jurisdiction Mooney, he says, has
failed to cite a single case in which
it was held that the introduction of
false evidence did or could deprive
trial court of Jurisdiction. He
failed to cite such a case because
it does not exist
After this brazen defense of the
frame-up methods and perjured
testimony by which Mooney was
railroaded to jail in connection with
the Preparedness Day parade bomb
ing in San Francisco in 1916, the
State Attorney General declares
that the United States Supreme
Court has no power to reopen the
case, and that it is "a matter for
legislative rather than judicial ac-
ton"

Store Strike
Holds Firm

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. IL
After being on strike two weeks,
strikers of the Boston Department
Store here defeated attempts of
their officials to send them back to
work on the basis of a settlement
that would leave them with virtually
no gains. The strikers were offered
a guarantee Of the present minimum
for clerks and straight percentage
of net sales; increase of fifty cents
a week for other employees, pro-
vided they we're with the company
for at least year; and immediate
return without discrimination.
After James P. Sheehan Of The
Federated Trades Council, Joseph
Padwsy, attorney Of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, and Federal
mediator H. L. Nc Carthy took
three hours to make their pleas be-
fore the strikers meeting, they were
asked to leave and following a few
short speeches by rank and file
workers exposing the terms, the
proposals were defeated.
Nc Carthy stated that "the fed
eral government is much concerned
ovee the Milwaukee department
store trouble because it is the first
of its kind in the nation and be-
cause of its effects upon department
stores all over the country" He
admitted that there was great con-
Germ in Philadelphia and New Or
leans where there are similar strikes
in prospect.

stop wage slashes and improve con-
ditions. A real workers code will be
enforced on the picket line.
A real workers code must rally
all ranks Of automobile workers in
defense Of their most vital needs.
These needs ere-a living yearly
wage, elimination of the murderous
speed-up system, unemployment
and social insurance to take care of
those whom profit management
cannot employ, the wiping out of all
discriminatory practices against all
groups of workers, and the right to
organize, strike and picket.
Several different unions of auto
workers have already gone on record
for 30=hour week, for minimum
weekly wage of $50 to s35, for the
right to organize, and fer the out
having of company unions and
stoolpigeon agencies. 1t is Of the ut
most Importance that by February
l. at the latest, all organizations of
auto workers shall unite in backing
up real workers code for the in
dustry and to be prepared for mill
tant strike action for its enforce
f1ient. The following proposals for
a workers code have been endorsed
by the Auto Workers Union, and by
several conferences of members of
American Federation of Labor fed
eral auto unions. 1t offers a basis
for agreement and common action.
1. Increased wages and shorter
hours: a. S35 minimum wage for a
30-hour week (5-hour day. 5-day
week., with corresponding increases
in wages to cover further rises in
cost of living. b. 80 per cent in
