Wrecks-the only one that is in good
condition is Kid Mccoy, and he is 64
years old"
Curly haired, handsome Kid Mccoy
owned Broadway after he defeated
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and became
Welterweight champion in 1896. Young
Bennett, a avy boxer, out for higher
honors, had known Mccoy in his
earlier pork and beans days. The Kid
generously gave him boxing lessons.
Bennett was fast, whippy boxer and
might have moved on up had he not
turned to industrial relations work. He
was advanced in the Ford organization
to complete charge Of personnel.
The Kids good looks and charm
were always getting him in rouble
with women. He was married eight
times, and in 1924 was tried for shoot
ing his sweetheart, Theresa Moss. In
1882, after seven years in San Quentin
Prison, he was looking for a job. He
and Bennett had kept up their friend
ship. Bennett steered him into the
Ford organization, in Watchman's Job
at S6 a day. He made good. The
friendship continued and Bennett is
always ready to say good word for
the Kid and his right to comeback.
Kid Mccoy, who was Norman Selby
Of indianapolis, fought 200 fights and
was beaten six times, by Jim Corbett,
Tom Sharkey, Jack Root and Bill Stef-
fms He accumulated nearly a million
in his fighting days, which ended in
1912 He was playboy. His fortune
faded.
He was in New York several weeks
ago His curly hair is still abundant,
slightly touched with gray His face
is lined. but he looks I.-lch younger
than his years. His wol,: keeps him
out of doors a lot and he is tanned,

have a larger share in the political
life and its government" He be-
lieves that such participation is the
only safeguard Of democracy. THE
only way to save democracy is to
establish industrial democracy and
obtain larger share for labor in the
management of government"
This statement from the man who
is the most powerful figure in the
world Of organized American labor
today is highly important. Labor is
in politics. Labor wants industrial
democracy and knows it can get
industrial democracy only through
politics. But what does Lewis mean
by Industrial democracy, and what
medium does he envisage through
which labor may act politically?
To these questions, which in one
form or another were put to him
by his interrogation, Lewis made
unprecise answers Lewis knows that
labor is going places politically; he
believes it must take up the political
instrument, but he doesn't know under
what principles or for whom.
Roosevelt" Not the Answer
"Mr. Roosevelt is not, from our point
prayer" he says. Yet he does not
suggest that any other party or any
other program is, or might be, more
satisfactory I'VE worked for Roose-
welt during the elections. He is the
better choice for u.s."
Lewis defines his attitude toward
communism as neutral-although he
has been great red batter in his day.
I'VE are not concerned with any par
ticular political system. The move
ment is neither Democratic nor Re-
publican, nor Socialist, nor Com
munlst We do not inquire ilto the
political convictions of workers whom
we organize in the unions. But it will
be obvious that thr~ugh the unions
their political action will be strength
ened as it should be-"
And later, he says: eve are indif-
ferenI toward communism and other
systems. The political aspect of the
movement is educational. We are
educating the workers in order that
they may be able to exert their politi-
cal influence freely. They cannot do
that today"

am for it. We are bound to have one
here at last, for one primary reason:
We are at last getting a generation OF
unskilled American workers. Our i'm
migration policy is responsible for it
as much as possible. The dirty work in
this country the unskilled and rela-
lively badly paid work, was done for
generations by European immigrants,
who were camped as an alien Lody in
the midst of our society. The native
born American had other ambitions

ers from holding their jobs now can
be identified because they openly admit
what they have done-Something that
hitherto in labor disputes for damages
has been most difficult to prove.
The Shutdown" strikers and their
defenders have publicly proclaimed
their belief that workers have prop
erty right in their jobs. This implies
that any worker, including the man
dispossessed, still retains right in
his Job. Under that reasoning the
thousands of workers who were de-
prived of their jobs by fellow workmen
had a propert. right in their jobs, too.
And If they did, then some one is
responsible for making them lose sew
eral weeks wages-and il isn't the
employer.
Suit Based on Deprivation.
But the right to sue for damages
because of losses incurred through
strikes does not necessarily have to be
based on the conception of property
now being advanced by the "sit-doWn"
strikers, namely that there is prop
erty right in a job which permits
physical seizure of property. Suit can
be based on the fact that workers
were openly and illegally deprived of
their opportunity to fulfill given job
for which they had definitely entered
into an employment relationship.
The courts have long ago settled
the question of the extent to which
unions are responsible for illegal acts.
1t is plain that the right to strike
never has included the right to de-
ktroy or, to put it another way, the
right to quit ones job does not give
a worker the right to take away
some one else's job.
The leaders of the unions involved
In the Michigan strikes have big sums
of money on deposit in the banks.
They had big sums to contribute to
Mr.. Roosevelt's last campaign fund.
Not only can these unions have
their funds attached, but every leader
of every union who has publicly con-
ceded his participation in the sit
down" strikes which were declared
illegal by Judges Gadolo and Camp
bell can be sued for damages for the
full amount of the loss.
There seems to be widespread i'm
preston that because labor unions are
not incorporated they are not liable
or cannot be sued. Quite the contrary
Is true, for because they are unincor-
porated, damages against them are un-
limited Matthew Vol, vice president
of the American Federation Of Labor,
in his book, Labor, Industry and
Government" published in 1885, calls
attention to the almost unlimited
character of damage suits that can
be filed against labor unions, point
ing out that the Supreme Court in
the so-called Danbury Hatters case
In 1915 and the Coronado case in
1925, held that individual members Of
