Gorilla Jones Ready
10 Meet Steele. sept. i

It IS becoming more apparent
every day to the ring bugs that
crowd Druxman's swat emporium
that Freddie Steele had better
think twice before ne clamors for
Yarosz, the champion.
One reason is Jones' right hand
the other is his left hand.
Jones has been tearing into his
sparring partners with a veng-
eance. Everyone but Al Lewis suf-
fers and the Gorilla saves al to
.whet his boxing skin.
Jones cut lip, tho reason for
postponing the fight, has entirely
anealed. Jones promises to be IN
the best shape Of his career for
this important bout.
It seems as though the delay has
irked the Gorilla because he shows
very tide mercy for the boys IN
the ing with him. Another good
sign is his temperament Jones
is not tempermental but when q
fighter is rounding into shape be-
fore an important fight, he becom-
es irritable and touchy at the
slightest provacation all of which
forbodes trouble for Mr.. Steele.
Jones has come right out and
sad that If Nate Druxman needs
somebody to fight the champ that
Willie Jones is just the boy to do
it and that all this tank of match
ing Steele with Yarosz should be
stopped until after next Tuesday
night, September II.
This writer win now burn all
bridges behind him and go on re-
cord as picking Jones to win.
This assertion is based upon
watching both fighters train daily,
their fight last year and their past
performances.

JOHN HENRY LEWIS
NEED OF REST

NEW YORK CITY (AsN) John
Henry Lewis, the Fighting cyclone
from Phoenix, hay have lost gol-
den opportunity in being nominal
ed as head man among the chal-
lengers for Bob Olin's IT'S pound
diadem, when he dropped close
decision to Abe Feldmau at the
Coney Island Veledrome on We'd
nesday night of last week.
Watching the Arizona sensation
in his first Eastern engagement
since signing up under tbs banner
of Gus Greeriee, I'VE gathered the
impression that Lewis was fight
ing still another opponent besides
Abe Feldman IN the first and Sc
cond rounds he boxed Feldman
beautifully, using long left jabs
and smashing right crosses that
made Feldman vince every tine
his blows landed. John Henry al
so took the third, but after this
stanza he petered out completely.
Two stunning butts from the
hard conk of the Jewish contend
er coming in the fourth and fifth
rounds, not only opened ugly CASH
es above the eyes, but helped to
slow the great Western scrapper
down to a walk He had fought
in Cleveland five weeks ago, jump
ed all the way to Oakland, Calf,
to lose a gruelling ten-round bat
tie to Make Rosenbloom, then
grabbing hopper Eastward, dur
ing which he was able to get pre-
cious little rest. With the sudden
change of climate John Lewis had
no chance at all and did remark
ably well to go the full ten rounds
with the rugged Rosenbloom.
The kid is just plumb tired and
requires an immediate layoff from
the wars under the watchftl eye
of an expert trainer. We'd sug-
gest sending John Henry up into
the mountains of New Hampshire
for about eight weeks. Rowing,
mountain climbing, wood chopping.
swimming ard a strict food diet
would bring him back to the squar-
ed arena an unbeatable campaign
er for the light heavyweight cham
pionship of the world. think he
can beat Feldman, Rosenbloom and
Bob Olin any day in the week. He's
brilliant boxer and must be
matched right to keep at the peek.

PROBE OF COLOR
Line IN UNIONS


NEW YORK - The American
Federation Of Labor has decided
to conclude its inquiry into the dis
elimination against Negro work
ers by labor unions. according to
information sent the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People by william Green,
President Of the A. F. Of L.
Mr.. Green informed the N. A. A.
c. P that the Executive Council
Of the A. F. Of L.. which met last
month in Atlantic City. had decid-
ed not to hold regional hearings
on discrimination in various cities
Of the United States with a heavy
Negro working population. He
stated that the Council believed
that the information secured in the
first and only hearing in Washing
ton, D. G., in July was sufficient.
The N.A.A.C.P. and other inter
ested organizations had urged the
A. F. Of L. to conduct hearings in
cities with large populations 81
Negro workers such as Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, Baltimoie, Chicago,
Detroit, New York, and st. Louis.
The Association maintained that
only by staging these regional
hearings would the workers them
selves be able to tell the full story
of the jim crow in labor unions.
The N. A. A. c. P's reply to Mr..
Green stated:
The statement has been made
frequently, since the sub-commit-
tee was authorized at the 1884
convention to make such an
inquiry, that this move was not a
sincere one and that the committee
would not be permitted to do
a thorough job. We are afraid
that the recent refusal of the Exc
cutive Council to go further into
this vitality important question win
be construed as justification of the
skepticism widely expressed of the
sincerity of the American Fedora
ton of Labors action"

He lived a madman's life and now has died a

He controlled the courts of his state; he held its

meaning for the public welfare; he offered those
who dared disobey his imperial will no hope CT
justice; sovereign citizens of a great free state
were reduced to puppets and their elected servants
became no more than automatoms under his I'M
challenged orders.
Huey Long wrested from the electorate of Lou

and representative government in democracy and
established himself as the political Caligula of his
commonwealth.
There was no law save at his bidding; there was
none in authority save at his command; there was
no government save such as he personally set up
and maintained.

Despite that The News and Courier, which is to

rasers of Hunterdon county, New Jersey, observ-
ing alphabetically that had The Courier foreseen
what the Northern folk, probably including some
of those in Hunterdon county, would do to the
South Carolinians with protective tariffs, it also
about protective tariffs in 1882. The new deal was
not then understood.

sively moral in nature) to all good nulli6ers in New

the unlawful and reasonable potatoes and incur
pains and penalties, of fine and Imprisonment there

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
GRINDING HIS OWN AXE

While it may seem inappropriate to continue
critical discussion of mans public acts after he
is IN the grave, nevertheless disclosures concerning
the late. Senator Huey P. Longs financial emolu-
ments arising from his absolute control of the Lou
isana state government should prove of instructive
interest to the citzenships of s American states.
There is no question that Long amassed consid-
cradle wealth by reason of his control of the ma
chinery of government. How much probably will
never be known, but certain records for recent
months are available. 1t will be recalled that some
months ago Long, by reason of his Influence" IN
state political affairs, had himself appointed kind
of special tax collector, with "fee' of very sub
stantal portion of the increased taxes which ne
might be able to collect from various taxpayers.
1t is now shown that during the six months prior
to his death Long was paid S225,OOO by the tax
commission for his services as it's special counsel"
in getting increased yields from corporations which
he claimed had not beeen equitably assessed. He
likewise received $125,O00 from the state public
service commission as "fees" fixed by the commits
sion and required by that body to be paid by the
investigated" companies, under the terms of law
which Long had the legislature to pass.
Such figures certainly suggest that here was
dictator who did not hesitate to feather his own
nest by the very practical of the political pow
er which he had gained.
They tend to confirm the judgment that Long
was man who sought to serve only himself, and
TO- make political power means of self-enrch-
ment. '- '>'''- -,

every American state to look with wholesome skep-

The government has gone from one pitfall to an

it does seem as if the potato control law will strain

Coercion and restraint would seem to have

a logical restriction attempted by the AAA The
