Wisconsin Labor
Wifhdruws Suit
Challenging Act
Judge Says Court Action To
Test Measure Now
Unnecessary

Milwaukee, Wis.-Oliver L. O'Boyle,
corporation counsel for Milwaukee
County, informed Circuit Judge Otto
H. Breidenbach that no criminal prose-
cutions will be attempted and no ar
rests made under the Catlin stranger
picketing" law enacted by the recent
session of the Wisconsin Legislature.
Confronted with this declaration the
Wisconsin State Federation of Labor
which had instituted proceedings to
test the constitutionality of the act,
withdrew it's petition for declaratory
relief from criminal actions under the
measure.
The suit of the State Federation Of
Labor was thereupon dismissed on
motion of the Federation's attorney,
Joseph A. Padway, who is also gen.
eral counsel of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
Mr.. Padway told Judge Breidenbach
that the suit had become unnecessary
because of the assurance given by de-
fendant authorities that no arrests
would be made under the law.
The assurances against arrest were
given for the attorney general by
Ward Rector, assistant attorney gen.
eral; Arthur Rysticken, assistant city
attorney, for Chief Of Police Joseph
Kluchesky, and by Corporation Coun-
sci Oliver L. O'Boyle, for District At
torney Herbert ]. Steffes, and Sheriff
Edward J. Mitten.
After the assurances given by these
officials Judge Padway made the fol-
lowing statement to the court:
"This suit was brought by the State
Federation of Labor and it's affiliates
to restrain criminal prosecution for
picketing by minority groups of work
ers, contrary to the provisions of the
Catlin bill.

Washington, D. Civilian Green,
president Of the American Federation
of Labor, sent telegram to Governor
James of Pennsylvania urging him to
veto the new labor bill adopted by the
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The bill was condemned by Mr..
Green as vicious anti-labor measure
which nullifies in several respects the
fundamental guarantees contained in
the original Pennsylvania State Labor
Relations Act, seriously impairs the
rights Of working men and women in
self-organization and collective bar

to the notorious company unions, and
brings back to life the Infamous in
junction in labor disputes.
! Analyses Measure
Mr.. Green made public the follow
ing analysis of the measure pointing
out its more serious defects:
"Section 6, paragraph 2 of the bill
just passed provides for 'employe'
unfair labor practices. All such prac-
tices are now covered by the general
laws of Pennsylvania. To include
them in the State Labor Relations
Act is to destroy the equality Of bar

employees which the original Act es-
tablished.

Labor Makes Few
Substantial Gains
In 93rd Assembly
Detrimental Legislation Is
Successfully Opposed.
However
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(by OhlO Labor News Servlce)
Columbus, O.-Analysis Of the rec
ord of the 93rd General Assembly of
Ohio on legislation sponsored or op-
posed by organized labor as repre-
sented by the Ohio State Federation
of Labor reveals that few gains were
made except in some important laws
affecting workers Of the state with
which employers were in accord, while
attacks on other labor laws were sue
cessfully repulsed, Thomas j. Don
nelly, Secretary Treasurer Of the Fed
Grafton, said last week.
Although legislative leaders turn
ed deaf ear to labor's arguments in
support Of legislation offered in be-
half of the workers, they in turn did
not permit to come to a vote a num-
ber of bills which labor opposed and
which would have seriously affected
Union organization or crippled bene-
fetal laws enacted by previous AS
semblies," Secretary Donnelly said.
He pointed out that the legislative
program Of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor was practically ignored by
the General Assembly, and the labor
plank Of the Republican Party plat
form badly splintered by reactionary
committee decisions.
Two decisions of the Ohio Supreme
Court which were favorable to labor
made it possible to have enacted into
law measures which constituted the
most progressive steps made by a
General Assembly in improving the
wOrkmen's compensation law since it
was first placed on the statute books
in 1918, the veteran labor leader said.
One amendment includes all occupa-
tional diseases in the compensate list
under the law, and the other firmly
establishes the Regional Claims Boards
as a necessary adjunct to the Induss
trial Commission to expedite the hear
ing Of claims for workmen's compen-
sation.
In the first instance, the Court held
that an employer could be sued for
personal damages by an employe for
an afflliction arising out of an occupa-
tional disease, and in the second, up
held the constitutionality of the Reg
ional Boards, eliminating employer op-
position to a bill introduced by the
Federation to clarity the duties of the
Boards and meet constitutional ques-
tions raised against the Act.
An amendment extending the pre-
vailing rate of wages law to permit
the application of the rate prevail
ing in the county nearest to one in
which none is established was ap-
proved by the Assembly only after a

BUG Attempts To
Curb Employers
Fear Of Job Tax
Industry Urged To Increase
PdYrolls. Hire Workers
Temporarily
(By Ohio Labor News

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.-Publicity released by
the Bureau Of Unemployment Com
pensation reveals intensive efforts by
Administrator H. c. Atkinson and G.
Scott Kallenbaugh, director of the
Bureaus unemployment compensation
division, to create better understand
ing among employers of the provisions
of the unemployment compensation
law.
Compliance by liable employers is
being forced by Bureau officials, who
are also conducting campaign to en-
courage voluntary contribution by
smaller employers and employment of
more workers by alleviating industry's
fear Of high contribution rate when
the automatic merit rating system
goes into effect in 1912.
Pointing to the fact that ma
chinery was set up to handle an an
ticipated claim load Of three hundred
thousand month, while the average
has actually been only about two hun
dred thousand claims monthly, Admin
istrator Atkinson said:
"Ohio industries felt compelled to
reduce sharply the number of persons
on their payrolls and increase mechan-
ization throughout 1886 and 1887, in
anticipation of the unemployment COM
pensation laws benefit operation start
ing January /, 1889. That is a direct
cause of the present recession, since
the same thing happened in every
state in the Union"
Finding that thousands of Ohio
workers are being needlessly deprived
of jobs by employers who have re-
Trained from hiring temporary en-
ployes in the belief that they are pro-
tecting their reserve accounts under

to hesitate to hire Temporary workers.

Supreme Courffo
Rule on Legality
Of Building Bonds
Program Would Help Re-
lieve Overcrowding In
Prisons
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

my OnlO LADOT NEWS oeTNiCc)
Columbus, O.-Oral arguments in
support of the constitutionality of the
Act creating the Public Institutional
Building Authority and its right to
issue up to $10,O00,OO0 in bonds to
finance state building program were
made before the Ohio Supreme Court
June Ia, and decision was expected
to be handed down before the Court g
summer recess.
The 93rd General Assembly amend
ed the Act in an endeavor to eliminate
doubt of constitutionality, and the
friendly" suit was then instituted to
obtain the Courts opinion.
The Authority is composed of Will
liam S. Konold, Warren, executive
secretary; Erdis Robinson, Columbus,
chairman, and Ed Switalski, Ports
mouth. A syndicate of Chicago bond
houses has agreed to buy the Au-
thority's bonds if the Act is held con-
stitutional.
Tentative plans for widespread
building program which would allevi-
ate Over-crowdlng IN state mental In
stitutions have been drawn by the
welfare department, Director Charles
L. Sherwood disclosed last week.
Director Sherwood said that his pro-
posed building program would touch
every state mental hospital and would
also help the prison overcrowding
situation since many mentally de-
fective inmates now confined in the
state prisons would be transferred to
mental institutions whenever enlarged
facilities become available.
The welfare director indicated that
no new prisons could be built from
funds obtained through the Public In
stitutional Building Authority since
stipulations for retiring the bonds
limited the expenditure of funds to
mental hospitals.

Complete Characterization

In that round occurred an in
cident that to me will always be
the complete Characterization Of
Dempsey. About a minute had
passed when Dempsey caught
Tunney with right hook that
knocked him toward the ropes
and numbed him so that he
couldn't get his guard up. I'm
mediately Dempsey Slugged him
to the floor with rights and lefts.
Then happened the historic long
count, and Tunney finally got
up, still badly stricken, but re-
cuperating quickly and retaining
sufficient Of his badly scrambled
intelligence to tell him what to
do-which was to retreat.
Those were dramatic seconds.
Tunney retreated. Dempsey pur-
sued with his precious title al
most in his hands. Round and
round the ring they went, Tun-
ney backward, Dempsey for
ward after him. But Dempsey
was then pugilistically an old
man, and his tired legs could
not stand the strain Of that
pursuit.
The Washington times., 1939-01-13

Tunney low in both Of their
fights and Tunney took it with
out a murmur, kept his head
and beat Dempsey both times.
Perhaps the essential differ
ence between two such cham
pions as Dempsey and Tunney is
best noticed when you listen to
them discuss past contests.
Dempsey will say when I
fought Tommy Gibbons "
Tunney will invariably say: "Ah
when I boxed Carpenter &. . :"
Dempsey never boxed anybody,
which is one reason why he was
SO worshiped and became such
a glamorous figure.
Your hero, whether on the
stage, or in fiction, when the
time comes for action lets the
right go, and that's that. He is
always a one-punch knocker-
outer even though it is very hard
to put a man away for keeps
with one punch, and Dempsey
himself rarely did it. But his
first punch that landed flush
would be il the nature of an
anesthetic, stunning the vic
tim, whereupon Dempsey would
slug him into oblivion as he did
Tunney in the seventh round of
their famous second fight for
the championship in Chicago in
l927-except that Tunney got
five extra seconds of count and
was able to get up and come
back.

Bitter Contempt

Finally his legs failed him al
together. He stopped. And over
his swarthy, blue-jowled fight
er's face there spread a look the
memory of which will never
leave me as long as I live. First
it was the expression of self
realization Of one who knows
that his race is run, that he is
old and that he is finished.
And then through 1t and re-
placing it there appeared such
a glance of bitter, biting con-
tempt for his opponent that for
the moment I felt ashamed for
the man who was running away
With his gloves Dempsey made
little coaxing paving motions
to Tunney to come in and fight.
That was it. Don't run. Come
in and fight. This is a fight.
It would have been foolhardy
had Tunney accepted this des-

COlorfuL Camps

The old Dempsey training
camps probably were the most
colorful, exciting, picturesque
gatherings ever. I was too young
in the sports writing game to
see the one outside of Shelby,
Mont, where he was preparing
to meet Tom Gibbons, or the
earlier one at Toledo when he
was a tough young challenger
training for the task (then
thought impossible) of beating
the enormous Willard.
But I remember the grand,
exciting, bawdy atmosphere of
the camp at Saratoga Springs at
Uncle Crying Tom" Luther's
hotel on the shore of the lake.
There was nothing either high
hat or sinister about the plant.
1t was gay, low, vulgar, Ra-
helaisian and rather marvellous.
But times were changing and
so was Dempsey. This was the
last of those merry, carefree,
colorful camps. The next one
was at Atlantic City at the dog
track, where the champion pre-
pared for his first encounter
with Gene Tunney. BY that
time Dempsey was rich. Detec-
tives were already guarding
Dempsey night and day, and
one Tommy Loughran, a fast,
brilliant, punching light-heavy-
weight got a job as a sparring
partner and wrote Dempsey's
finish in letters large enough
for all Of US to see, except that
we, too, were blinded by our own
ballyhoo and the great Dempsey
legend that we had helped to
create. We refused to believe
what we saw, a Dempsey unable
to land a solid punch on Lough-
ran, and Tommy Stabbing and
jabbing Dempsey as he pleased.

Cruel Outside Ring

Actually, for many years.
Dempsey was inclined to be as
cruel outside the ring as he was
in action within. I have seen
him in a playful wrestling match
in a training camp, with one Joe
Benjamin, a lightweight who
used to be kept around as a sort
of a camp stooge and Jester
(every big fighter always has a
camp butt or jester), bring up
his knee into Benjamin'S groin
and leave him squirming with
pain. Estelle Taylor loved Demp-
sey, but all through their mar
ried life she lived in constant
terror of him.
To me this always added to
the picture rather than de-
tracted from it. because I like
my prizefighters mean. Cruelty
and absolute lack Of mercy are
an essential quality in every
successful prizefighter. I have
never known one who wasn't
ruthless and amoral.
