l asked Jim about the modern
crop. Here was his answer
"The main trouble with our mod
ern day fighters is that they won't
take the time and effort to train
properly and they won't listen to ad-
vice. The boxer who won't work
can't fight, because it takes more In
side stuff to train hard than it does
to get in there and start swinging.
The modern fighter doesn't know
what real work is. Nor real train

located in Burbank on the outskirts
of Hollywood. Appropriately enough
the arena is situated on Victory
boulevard. Jim Jeffries knows some
thing about victory. He had more
than 20 fights and lost only one, that

For Defense Strikes

New Brunswick, N. J.-Referring to
recent strikes without mentioning any
by name, DR.. Frank Kingdom, chair
man of the Emergency Rescue Com
mittee and former president of the
University Of N55ewark, told the elev-
enth annual Labor Institute at Rut-
gers University that american eff

down by conspiracy of Communists
aided by Nazis in the field of la
bor"
However, he called anti-strike leg
islation "sheer Hitlerism" and advo-
Gated instead the setting up of me-
diation boards to work continuously
in each industry.
DR.. Kingdom spoke at the morning
session Of the four-day conference
under the auspices of the State Fed

Matthew Woll, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-

Continuous Show SUNDAY

1t has accordingly been decided to
appoint T. U. C. representative and
a deputy representative to act with
the full authority of the General
Council of the Trades Union Congress
in each area into which the country
has been divided. 1t will be the duty
Of these officers to keep in touch with
the Governments Regional Commits
sioners and to associate the local
Trade Union organization with the
measures taken to maintain produc-
tion in every region.
Regional Administration for Unions
Members of the T. U. C. General
Council will themselves serve in this
capacity, except in those parts of the
country where no member happens
to reside ru
There, the authority of the T. U. c.
will be exercised by other Trade
Union officers, in all matters of emer-
gency. Full-time officials of Unions
and Of the local federations of Trades
Councils will also be associated with
this emergency organization.
This emergency machinery is be-
ing set up in advance of every con-
tingency that the war is likely to
bring. Consequently the General
Council of the T. U. C. is arranging
to convene regional conferences of
full-time Trade Union officials in each
defense area.
At these conferences plans will be
considered which it may be necessary
to put into operation in the event of
invasion. Each conference will be
called upon to set up a Regional
Emergency Committee. Every af-
filiated Union will be asked to enable
it's full-time officials in each area to
participate in these conferences and
assist in carrying out the emergency
arrangements.
There is nothing of a panic char
acter in this development of the T. U.
G.. activities in war time. 1t Is pre-
caution. Nobody can foresee how the
war will go.
Certainly the danger of invasion is
not over. But the Trade Unions are
not going to be caught mapping, and
) every step that can be taken to en-
. sure that the Trade Unions will con-
tinue to function and that their CO.
. operation in maintaining maximum
: production in the war trades will not
be impaired by anything that Htler's
armies can do.

ORIGINAL EXEGESlS

A rural minister one Sunday took
his place in the pulpit, announced his
text, and proceeded to expound it as
follows: Brethren, my text this
morning will be, Seven sons did Mil
cab bear unto Enon.' Now, if you
look at the commentary you may find
various meanings in this text; but,
taking a common sense view of it, |
will say this: expect old Enon was
sick and the doctor told his seven
sons (strong, active fellows) that it
was absolutely necessary he should
have some milk, therefore the seven
sons went out to look for the cows,
and they could not find them any
where in the whole neighborhood. But
they came across she bear, and they
MIXED her and carried the milk to
Enon And so it is writ, Seven sons
did milk a bear unto Enon."

. OFFICERS FOR DEFENSE
From Herbert Tracey of the British
Trades Union Congress

London.-Half-h hearted suggestions
are made, from time to time, that
British workers are not solidly united
in the resolve to win total victory in
this war. Those who allege this have
a fatally weak argument as they can
not mention single representative
trade unionist who supports them.
1t is a significant and highly in
structive fact that even trade union
lists of extremist trend who are not on
particularly friendly terms with the
responsible leadership of the British
T. u. C. are as emphatic as anybody
in saying that the workers must win.
They have too much to lose, if Hitler
should have his way.
Here, for example, is the plain
statement by w. J. Brown, the mill
tant general secretary of the Civil
Service Clerical Association, who is
in opposition to his Trade Union COL
leagues on many questions-but not
about the war.
Plain Speaking
He declares his conviction that Hit
ler's hatred Of the Polish people is
nothing to his hatred of Britain.
These are Browns own words:
"There can be for Hitler neither
peace nor victory while this island
stands. Therefore he will throw
everything he has into the business
Of trying to defeat US, and he will do
it quickly, for he cannot afford to wait
while American industry switches
over from a peace to a war basis and
puts at our disposal the biggest po-
tential arsenal in the world. And if
he does defeat US, he will not stop
short Of trying to prevent for ever the
possibility Of British resurrection
That is pretty plain speaking, from

Isaacs of Manhattan, officials of the

The signing took place in the Of
flee of Edward P. Mulrooney, Impair
tial Chairman of the hotel industry,
al East 57th Street.
Jay Rubin, President of the Hotel
Trades Council, said:
"We are against strikes and lock-
outs where the contract is enforced
but there are certain anti-labor hotel
owners who have refused to submit
to the mediation process provided for
in the contract to settle grievances.
"The agreement takes care of the
majority of the workers and employ
ers in the industry who are satisfied
to arrive at an agreement at round
table conferences. But when open
shop hotel employers persist in re.
jecting arbitration, strikes can take
place in their hotels not covered by
the contract and the responsibility fol
this will be squarely on the shoulders
of the anti-union hotel employers"

extended contract is general 81 tc

AN ALLEY

A decrepit, wrye necked alley,
Propped by walls OF brick,
bubbles with the traffic
In its bailiwick.
1t sneers at truck and horse cart,
Chafes at children, too,
Who in rags on crooked heels
Hollow-eyed limp through.
1t hastes the filth and stenches,
The refuse at its door,
The rusty cans and ash heaps
Littering its floor;
The dogs that snitch the naked bones,
The rats that glide about
With stealthy feet and pointed tails
The Easements in and out.
1t hates the vagrant stealing by,
The drunkard's reel and spew,
And hates the carmine painted lips
That sometimes beckon, too.
Behind it's low-browed doorway
In misery it bides
And like an Oriental
It's grief in secret hides.

of Labour's left Wing" But Brown
goes even further. This is his sum-
mary of what the worker will lose if
Hitler wins:
What Labor Has Won
"My right to live as free citizen
Of free people-a right none the less
real and none the less valuable be-
cause we have consented during this
war, as in the last, to certain tempor-
ary limitations upon it's exercise;
"My right to immunity from vio-
lence, persecution and the concentra-
tion camp;
"The standards of life which my
Union has built up over decades of
effort;
Freedom to strive for further i'm
provements;
"The social services which have re-
suited from years of political activi-
ty;
"My right to try to improve them
still further; my right-and my chill
dren's right-to education; my right
to speak my mind, and to vote as |
please;
"In short, everything which marks
the difference between the status of
the human being on the one hand and
the slave on the other.
"And lastly, there is another thing
I have to lose-it is Hope. For every
hope | have of securing for myself q
wider and more ample standard of life
every hope | have Of giving my
children better start than | had
every hope l nurse of building a new
and better Britain for future genera
