Way IS OPENED
TO PACKERS TO
SHUT OFF LOSS
Can Act Under Code to
Prevent Sale Below Cost,
Wade Is Advised

II Alaska salmon packers desire
to write into their code a provis-
ion prohibiting the sale Of canned
salmon for less than the cost OF
packing the machinery is ready for
them to move. it was announced
today by Hugh j. Wade, Deputy
MIRA Administrator for Alaska, who
returned yesterday from an official
trip to Ketchikan.
The authorities have nothing to
do with this phase of the matter,
and can only provide means for
the industry to make the neces-
sary provision, Mr.. Wade pointed
out. The packers, through the Code
Authority, have the means at hand
to remedy any cutthroat selling
tactics.
When opening prices for the 1884
pack were recently announced from
Seattle, a number Of Ketchikan
packers protested to Mr.. Wade
that the 81 quotation on pink sal
mon was below cost, and asked him
what could be done to prevent that
situation. At their request he wired
washington MIRA authorities and
was advised that a provision pro-
hfbiting sales below cost could be
written into the code if It was
commended by the Code Author
ity, and that this would probably
take about three weeks.
The packers were advised OF this
last week, Mr.. Wade said. When
he left Ketchikan they had not
acted to advance the matter. This
was due, he said, to the fact that
the plants were overwhelmed with
fish and they we're busy day and
night taking care of them. The
short pack of pinks that had been
forecast for Alaska is a thing OF
the past. 1t is now apparent that
approximately 100000 cases will
be put up. In view of this revers-
al OF conditions, there was some
doubt if the Packers would move
to get the code amended to pre-
vent below cost selling.
Every man and woman in Ket-
chikan who wants to work is en-
ployed, Mr.. Wade said. And the
packers are still shorthanded. Can
merry crews on a steamer from
Western Alaska points were un-
loaded at Ketchikan and taken by
plane to plants in the vicinity.
Cannery workers, boat crews, SEM
ers and trollers are making good
money, more than has been paid
them for years, he said -

COMPANY UNIONS


In many cases, the question was
raised: who shall speak for the
employees in tn collective bargain
ing mentioned in section TAP
Surprisingly large was the num-
Der of industries where both COM
pany and standard unions claimed
to represent a majority OF the
workers. And the difficulties OF
determining which was correct were
many.
In the automobile strike settle
ment last spring the President laid
down the rule that an officially
supervised election should be held;
then, in negotiations with the en-
ployers, each union should be rep
resented in proportion to the num-
Der of votes it received.
That would have been ire
mendous step toward solution. If
it had worked for all industry.
But 1t didn't.
In later strike situations, stand
ard unions have held out against
proportional representation on the
ground that it gave voice to
company unions which, it was con-
tended, were entitled to none be-
cause they represented the en-
nlover. not the employee.

court, it came out that one of the
rawest deals in the history of prize
fighting had been worked.

Bourke had been in Jail, on bread and

The next August Bourke and Bel
cher met by accident at the Gambler
well fair. Belcher overheard his foe
boasting Of how easily he could whip
him If given fair chance. A large
crowd Immediately formed a ring on
the lawn of the public house and the
Irishman got a severe beating. Again
they met, again Belcher won, and
the Irish stone mason dropped out Of
history.
The next October the Sporting Mag
azine reports: "On Friday, the oath,
Belcher, the noted pugilist, met with
a melancholy and irreparable misfor-
tune. In playing game Of fives he
received a blow of the ball with such
force that it knocked one of his eyes
out of the socket" Yet he continued
to fight until his death, at the age
of 20, two years later.

BY TOM HENRY.

"HE Dillinger of 1900 in England
was q highwayman named
Abershaw, who was captured,
hanged on Wimbledon Com
mon and his bones left suspended as
q warning to evildoers.
Under Abershaw's gibbet, some Of
the bitterest battles of the age were
fought. 1t was near London and easy
of access for the great crowds that
followed the fortunes Of Jem Belcher
and Joseph Bourke-champions, re-
spectively, of the English and the
Irish. But is was ghastly, outlaw
place and the authorities were not so
much concerned about what went on
there.
With the rafting bones of the ILL
fated Abershaw above him, Belcher re-
deemed the boxing crown for English
men. He was grandson of that Jack
Slack, the Norwich butcher, who more
than half a century before had con-
quered Broughton. Three times he
fought and beat Bourke, but a good
deal of the activity of both men seems
to have been expended in keeping out
of the hands Of the police.
London's Irish put forward the
stone mason's apprentice, Bourke,
after Belcher had Inundated them by
thrashing their champion, Andrew
Gamble. A crowd of several thousand
was on the common on october IL,
1901, when the first meeting of the
two was to take place. Bourke was
there, but the crowd waited in vain
for Belcher until Andrew Gamble an
nounced from the ring that the Eng
lish champion had been arrested and
that soldiers were on their way to
break up the gathering. Just then a
group of harvest hands came up the
road with their reaping sickles over
their arms. They were mistaken in
the distance for the military with
cleaning bayonets, and the day broke
up in wild confusion, with many carts
and gigs upset crossing a swollen
stream in the frenzy to escape.

Purses Withdrawn.

TT MAY have been more comfortable
in jail for Belcher that day. 1t
came out later that "some know
ing ones, entertaining a high idea of
Bourke's powers, took him into private
nursing. Raw eggs to improve his
wind and raw beef to make him savage
were the principal ingredients in his
regimen Of diet and in all his exer-
ciSes he topped expectations. His
hackers expected to get heavy odds
against him. This is the first mention
in the Sporting Magazine of a figher
undergoing systematic training before
a battle.
1t turned out that the winner would
have got nothing, since 'the gentle
man who had put up so pounds for
the fight had withdrawn it."
The two met by Abershaw's gibbet
a month later, for a purse of 400
guineaS. There were 1000 spectators,
in spite Of the fact that it had been
necessary to keep arrangements secret
for fear of police interference.

Furr was not without his followers.

Furr Fast Improving.

TURR, for all of his apparent tenn
permanent, is an improving ring
Ster, and has speed and smart
ness which MeCadon may find diff
cult, or impossible, to match. If any
thing, Furr is the sharper puncher,
although he junked his formidable
right-hand wallop against Wilson, pre-
ferring to jab and duck his way to a
decision ever the blasting Floridan.
MeCadon's scalp means little, ma
tionally, in welterweight's scrap book,
but Jay, nevertheless, is no soft foe
man. The Newark noggin- n-knocker
has been around for quite some time.
and has accumulated a fair share of
victories, including wins over Eddie
Ran, frankie Petrolle and Ruby Gold
stein. He is a sort of a club-fghter
along the Eddie Burl type, and a
tough hurdle for a boxer of Furr's
limited experience.
Fitful Phil has fought only II pro-
fessional fights, dropping only one.
That was his first start, when he
emerged from the Army after holding
the 3rd Corps Area welterweight title.

NEW YORK, Jan. II G.NSO.
The curb market turned in an
other buoyant performance to.
day, with utilities again dominat-
ing the list.
Demand for power and light
shares was the most aggressive
seen this year and was based on
indications that the Administra-
tion was adopting a somewhat
more lenient attitude toward utili-
~ companies.
Bib Blocks Come Out
Several blocks in excess of
5000 shares changed hands, with
Commonwealth Edison, ex-divi-
dend, in the forefront with a
squirt of 21a points to 431a, while
in the senior group, Columbia
Gas and Electric preferred
jumped 4 points to 76.
Selected Specialties continued
strong, with Aluminium up 1A at
742z. Hiram Walker was the
pacesetter in the alcohols, NOV
ing up to 81 for a gain of 13s
points. Humble was prominent
in the oil group.
Metal Shares Backward
Metal shares were relatively
backward. Investment trusts laso
were unable to get far.
Cities Service common held
steady, while the debentures
edged up. Utility bonds con-
tinued strong.
