Not at Best, Furr Insists.


nUNDFES blueprints for Furr's
immediate future include negoti-
ations for bouts with Barney Ross,
Ceferino Garcia, Glenn Lee and Al
Manfredo. 1t is possible, however,
that Phiis first move toward hopping
of the fistic treadmill will be a scrap
with Gordon Wallace on April rs at
Vancouver, British Columbia.
Before vacating this sector, how
ever. Phil hopes to erase the stigma
of what has been advertised as a
run-out against Arcelli. It has been
said that Phillip, after witnessing
Arcelli chill Sid Silas in three rounds,
hesitated in agreeing to meet the
Italian. After many days of sup
posed quibbling Phil condescended.
While an operation on his nose has
aided his breathing considerably Furr,
by his own admission, is not in top
condition, although you'd never know
it if he didn't tell you His workouts
with Overlin have been speedily
paced and although Phil naturally
suffers in comparison with Ken he
nevertheless has impressed hangers
on.
Arcelli wound up the stiff slate of
his conditioning grind yesterday at
New York and will taper off here
today with light work. Manager
Bobby North claims Werther hasn't
appeared at top shape here yet, de-
spite his victories over Silas and
Johnny Lucas. having kayoed Sid
after a two-month lay-off necessi-
tated by broken hand and suffering
from a cold when he met Lucas.
Attractive Semi Final
IN AN enticing sX-round semi-fnal,
eagerly anticipated by local ring
worms, pair Of youthful promising
heavyweights will collide when Max
Roesch Of Texas meets Frank Ty-
mosko of Richmond, Va. They were
slated to clash two weeks ago, but
a gashed eye received in training
forced Tymosko to pull out.
Three four-rounders, one of which
still is in the making, will round out
the card. In others, Mike O'Leary,
Baltimore lightweight, will face Ole
Anderson of Leonardtown, and
frankie De Angelo, local feather
weight, will trade blows with Russell
Driscoll of Baltimore.
The first bout will get underway
at $50 o'clock.

PAINT MANFR. PAYS
EMPLOYEES DEBTS

Philadelphi a (ILNS)-Every en-
ploye of the American Chemical Paint
Company at Amber knows that there
is Santa Claus; and furthermore,
they have found out his right name.
1t is j. Harvey Gravel, president and
main owner of the company.
The Philadelphia Record got the
story. Gravel has given his 76 en-
ployes about 100000 as a Christ
mas present. To those without debts
or pressing bills, he gave a present
never less than 800, usually more.
To those who had debts, he handed
checks to pay them. The mortgage
on the house, the payments on the
car, hospital bills and bills for opera
tions, the bill for the last baby; GRAY
ell gave each one a check to
concel the account. He had spent
weeks before Christmas finding out
just how each employe stood.
You're hell of boss!" said one,
after getting a $4,000 check to clear
the mortgage of his home. II thought
| wasn't doing so well here, and was
worrying about losing my job-and
now you do this!"
"After ALL" Gravel explained, Il
was just giving to my men the money
that was rightfully due them. 1t was
they who made possible the success of
this business. The wealth we handed
back to these fellows was actually
produced by these fellows"
Gravel is in position to talk about
rugged individualism" if he wanted
to. He started in 1914, with an equip
ment which he describes as "a bucket,
a broomstick, and good idea," and he
has built up a million dollar fortune
Il wasn't trying to buy the 10y
atty of my employees" he said. They
We always been loyal. This is my
contribution to the New Deal. | feel
that we have made great strides un-
der the leadership of Roosevelt; and |

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Presi
dent Roosevelt has come out fatty for
minimum wages and maximum hours
and the abolition of child labor, all
by federal action. He also made it
clear that no one will be turned off
the WPA relief rolls to work for the
starvation wages now frequently be-
ing offered by private industry.
The president took this stand at the
first of his press conferences this
week. He declared that there is no
possible doubt that child labor has
come back, and that standards of
wages and working hours have broken
NRA by the supreme court. In the
light of that decision, he explained,
the president does not have power to
check this breakdown. But something,
obviously, must be done and it will
have to be done by the federal govern
ment, for state action cannot abolish
the evils
Breakdown of Standards Progressive
These statements, of course, point
straight toward a constitutional
amendment. When asked about that,
however, the president said he was not
yet ready to express an opinion. The
whole legal question is being studied
by the department of justice, which is
considering, among other things, the
O'Mahoney- Mead bill for federal
licensing of corporations.
The breakdown of standards OF
wages and hours has been constant
and progressive, the president stated.
Apparently, many people think he
has the power to check it, to judge
from the number of appeals he IS re-
ceiving. He told the newspaper men
an incident that happened during the
campaign, when he was in New Bed
ford, Massachusetts.
Girl Appeals for Help
He saw the police pushing girl
who was making desperate efforts tc
reach his automobile with an envelope
in her hand; and told Gus Gennerlcf
to "get that envelope from that girl
Gus did it, and the president read the
note, as follows:

Girl Appeals for Help
Non-Union Bridge Job
Creates Disturbances

Hennepin. Iii. (AFLNS)-The de-
testable practice of some public Off
cials in letting contracts for public
work to non-union concerns, then per-
hitting the importation OF strike
breakers, is held by members OF or
ganized labor in Bureau, Putnam and
La Sale counties to have been the
underlying cause of labor disturbances
at the site Of the new highway bridge
across the Illinois river here.
A strike has been on for several
weeks, because the Wisconsin Bridge
& Iron Company, to which firm the
contract was let, has refused to deal
with labor unions.
During a recent melee, when pickets
were attempting to persuade drivers
of four trucks not to haul gravel to
the lob until the labor difficulty was
settled, Sheriff Miller, of Bureau
county, and a truck driver were re-
ported struck by stones. Added to
the injustice of letting the contract
to .scab" concern, Sheriff Miller
provided 200 special deputies, osten-
sibly to keep order but in effect to
protect strikebreakers on the job
State highway police were also called
to aid when the recent disturbance
developed. Organized labor is deter
mined to win the struggle for union
recognition and employment. Failing
in that, however, it is stated that
workers will be certain to remember
who are their friends and who are
their enemies when the next election
comes along.

Spurred to fresh onslaughts BY
their success in recaptured Bri
huega on the Guadalajara front
Spanish radicals pushed further
to the northeast today, surround
ing several inSurgent battalionS.
Jubilant announcements by gov
.ernment officials said Brihuega
had been taken about p. m. last
night. They claimed it had been
headquarters for Italian divisions
operating on the Guadalajara
front.
The town was reduced to
flaming wreckage by radical shells
before the insurgents retired.
Thereafter, with governme e n t
troops driving steadily forward,
fighting ragged in the surrounding
hills.
Rebels Resist Little
Madrid officials said the sur

fered little resistance, however.
Marking the most decisive VIC
tory for government forces since
the siege of Madrid began last No
vember, Brihuega fell after a gigan-
tic battle on land and in the air
in which hundreds of italian
troops were reported killed.
News of the government victory
reached Madrid after the capital
was rocked by eight successive ex-
plosions of red militia underground
mines in the University City dis
trict of the city.
The terrific blasts almost COM
pleted the destruction of the uni
versity's huge medical clinic where
hundreds of nationalists have held
out against government for
months.
Trenches Wrecked
Tons of exploding dynamite also
demolished several Nationalist
trenches and redoubtS in the
neighborhood.

numbers" were killed in the ex-
plosions which were followed by
fierce guerrilla fighting as red in
fantry sought finally to expel stub
born nationalists from their foot
hold on the northwestern corner of
the city.
For weeks mining experts had
been carefully planting the dyna-
mite under the clinic and trenches.
Last night the mines were COM
pleted and yesterday they were
set off with devastating effect.
OnSIaughts Repelled

the Andujar front near Cardoba
said government forces were tena-

NEW YORK, March l3.-Large Feb
ruary domestic consumption figures
brought in steady trade demand for
cotton today.

closed at 1894. Final prices were 6
to 8 points net higher.
In partial response to steadier Liver
pool cables, the market opened un-
changed to s points higher. February
consumption in the United States of
664,439 bales was somewhat above
expectations and was believed to rep
resent new high total for the

and 5l5,977 in February last year

Sales Of cotton goods for the week
were estimated at two and one-half

the largest total in several months.
The Commodity Credit Corp reported
the release of 773,739 bales of loan
cotton through March IL.
Amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
