Strutwear Co. Still Persists
In Blocking All Arbitra-
tion-Local Union grows
Strong Rapidly

All the CLOSING and misinform-
ing that the daily press is able to
attempt is not keeping the public
from the fact that it is the Strut
wear company that is blocking the
arbitration and preventing the set
Element of the strike of the Ameri-
can Federation of Hosiery Work
ers at that plant.
Without any ifs or ands the I'm
ion has declared its willingness to
submit the matters involved in the
dispute between the company and
the union to arbitration.
How long the Strutwear com
pany will continue it's arbitrary
stand against the very fair Ameri
can way of arbitration can only bt
specialized upon.
There is one thing that is not
matter of speculation or CUES
work, however. That is the growtl
of the strength of the local uniol
of the American Federation o
Hosiery Workers that embrace
the strikers at the Strutwear plan
Through the militant leadershi
of organizers, Tinker and Case
beer, the local union is shown
substantial increase in member
ship, and the morale of the stril
ers is strong as steel.

fusal to arbitrate the questions Il
volved in the strike.

And while, actually, the answer
of President Green to those favor
ing immediate independent politi-
cal action appears on the face of it
a reaffrmation of the position the
Federation has steadfastly main
tained-a position that in one form
or another has been a subject of
discussion that at times was bit
ter-advocates of a labor party
professed to see in it none of the
determination or decisiveness by
which the Federation has in the
past repudiated all thought Of de-
parting from the non-partisan po-
litical policy which the convention
has repeatedly endorsed.
No effort was made by President
Green to justify the nonpartisan
policy per Sc, nor was there any
J thing to indicate that the Fedora
ton feels in duty bound to con-
tinue to support such policy ire
spective of changing conditions
Nor was independent political ac-
ton ruled out as being injurious
To many, the impression created
both by the address of President
Green and by the reaction which
it created among the delegates was
that the labor party was a care
which organized labor must fol
the present hold in reserve, the use
of which may become necessary a
most any time.
Although disappointed that tn
formation of such party of labo
is being deferred, delegates repre-

League of Nations.
Italy can get all the supplies it
urgently needs-if it has the mon
ey to pay for Them" said one
prominent official. "Italy will buy
as little as possible in foreign mar
kets, because it wants to husband
its financial resources, but it can
buy practically anything in Aus
tria, Hungary or Germany.
"There is no way to block that
procedure except by taking mill
tarv measures, ard it is ten to
one bet that England will not take
that step unless it has assurance
of Frances support"
Washington, therefore, expects
Mussolini to continue to press nj
Ethiopian campaign. 1t feels HI
has an exceedingly hard nut tt
crack, and it does not profess t
know just what progress he ha
made.
In that connection it is worth
noting that Washington authOri-
ties are paying little attention to
the press dispatches which are
coming out of Ethiopia and the
European capitals.
They know that the war CORES

Heavy Mat Event
Seen as Natural
Lewis and MCMi|Ien Two of
Best in Game.

Indianapolis is promised one of
the best wrestling 'naturals" of the
year next Tuesday night at the
Armory where two of the nations
foremost heavyweights are to come
to grips in what is expected to be a
thriller.
Principals in the battle are Jim
McMillen, 229, Chicago, and former
all-America footballer at the Uni
versity of Illinois, and Ed (Strangler)
Lewis, 247, whose name is known
wherever wrestling is known. The
tug headlines the Hercules A. C.
card of three bouts.
Lewis and McMillen are listed
among the five top huskies in the
game and both are recognized as
being within reaching distance of
the heavyweight title now held by
Danno OMahoney.
Former champion Lewis demon
strated to Armory fans this week
that he is in good physical condi-
ton when he used his deadlock to
do away with the 283-pound War
Eagle Strongbow in quick fashion.
He believes he can do likewise to
McMillen, although the Chicago ace
is confident he can avoid the bone
crushing grip.
