Pettus had accused Reps. r.
2. Riley and n. {. Armstrong,
both Of King county. of hay
ing n finger in the pie" when
the beer issue fisred into hot
debate.
Riley and Armstrong had spoken
against a motion to indefinitely
postpone action on the bill TO hber-
alize beer sales. The bill was in
troduced by Riley. Armstrong ar
gued for the measure after Riley
pleaded for further study before
putting it to a vote.
The bill, lib 81. would have
permitted sale OF beer until / a. m.
on Sundays. in lieu Of the mid
night-closing hour. and between
the hours of and 10 p. m.
Biggest controversial meas
ure to hit the floor Of the
house, the hill aroused conflict
even before II Was read-due
Ia the absence of three repre-
>entatives. including two from
Pierce county.
Absence OF the three was noted
when a roll call was ordered. Reps.
Cliff Erdahl and Zack- Vsne, both
of Tacoma. and Rep. Oscar Wen
berg. Snohomish county, had van
ished from the floor.
The house demanded the SER
geant-at-arms find them and bring
them in. Anticipating the final
vote would be wet vs.. dry" rec
ord-which finally occurred-the
house insisted on having the miss
ing members present.
Erdahl and Vane. II devel-
oped, had q legitimate reason
for being away at the time.
Both arrived before the ser
geant-at-arms found them.
They had been called from the
floor to join a delegation of
blind persons who were calling
on Governor Langlie, one floor
below.
Weinberg also appeared, but not
before Rep. Chart Pitt had de-
manded the three be brought back,
saying: IF they have ducked and
haven't any backbone, well put
some in them
Their temperance was the sig
nal for~the start of the beer con-
flict.
Rep. Fred J. Martin. D., from
Rockport. used the issue for the
first significant test Of strength

which he is ringmaster.

postponement. The resulting
vote failed to test the strength

ever, because drys. conserva-
tives and solons who feared

climbed aboard his bandwagon.
Martin won by a strategic
motion.

later retracted when he joined the

FINAL PUNCH

tween them he Immediately fell into
a clinch again. In the balcony they
started to boo Billy smiled grimly.
Well, I'm only taking it easy, boys,
I'm just taking it easy. There was no
sense in getting himself hit. To pre-
vent it was cinch He could see
O'Bren coming a mile away. 1t was
kid stuff to block him. They booed
more. Maybe he should show some
action, at that. He let his lett go. 1t
felt like lead. He heard himself breath
ing. His mouth felt dry. 1t was as if
there was no sound in the whole
arena, though there were boos from
all sides 1t was hard But he must try!
He crossed with his right and missed
again Yes, he had missed. But o Bren
stumbled back, as if he had been hit
hard. But he hadn' been Billy jabbed
with his left and then followed with
a left hook. The hook hit O'Brien
somewhere on the back of the head,
where it didn't hurt. but O'Brien
acted groggy He went back; he almost
fell into the ropes.
There was a terrific roar from the
crowd. They thought O'Brlen was on
his way out Billy didn't understand.
He hadn't hit O'Brien hard, not
once. =.
Sordoni was white with rage. why
didn't you let go?" he shouted. The
boys in the press row could hear.
Didn't | tell you the fifth! Didn't
tell you the ffth?"
Billy tried hard to think 1t didn't
make sense. Fifth round. Fifth round.
Then something dawned. Sordoni ..
O'Bren =. He turned around. He
felt cold fury rising in him. . But
there was the gong.
t1ELEN saw him jump up and rush
towards O'Brlen. He was throwing
punches now with both hands. She
could hear his fists landing on the
others body. The whole arena was in
an uproar now. All around her they
sprang to their feet and shouted,
KNOCK him out ! Kill himi Let him
have it,'
Yes, that was 1T. That was what she
had hated all these years. Excitement.
Blood! Knockout! 1t was her life.
But it wasn't what she wanted There
was no place for woman in such
life.
knock him out! Kill him.
LET him have it!'
Then she saw Johnny O'Brien. 1t
was funny, but somehow she hadn't
looked at him before. Now she saw
him, pathetic figure. moving back
step by step, trying in vain to cover
up. Why. this was an old man! How
thin the hair was on the back of his
head; his legs were whitish-grey and
soft

Suddenly, she cried, mo - no -"

too. Stop it" she cried again.
Nobody heard her There was too
much shouting. Was it a crime that
she didn't want all that any more?
That she wanted quiet, normal life,
with nothing much happening?
She saw Billy throwing punches,
not letting up for a second. 1t was as

already in the ring and got big hand.
Then, after he had slipped through
the ropes, he suddenly became very
calm. He sat down on the stool and
his eyes searched for her. They put on
the gloves. O'Brien's manager did a
lot of talking. Sordoni talked, too.
Then the referee motioned him into
the middle of the ring. He started to
speak.
Billy didn't listen. Then he saw
Fred. Fred grinned. raised his hand
and showed his crossed fingers. Billy
grinned mechanically. His eyes went
over the press section. The New York
boys were there, all right. Then he was
back in his corner The Negro took
the robe off his shoulders. Billy grasped
the ropes, loosened up his knees bit.
and rubbed his shoes into the resin.
Then, turning around. he saw her.
How pale she was! He smiled but at
that moment Slim showed his mouth
protector in. The gong sounded.
f1E WENT to the middle of the ring.
O'Brien was a little shorter than he
and he made himself still shorter by
crouching. Billy stayed at some dis
tance. He stepped to the left and then
to the right. O'Brien tried to crouch
his way in. Billy stepped back, and
then crossed his left. Once. twice.
O'Brien blinked and rubbed his nose
with his glove Billy jabbed with his
left again. He'd show them. He danced
around O'Brien. sticking his left into
his face. O'Brien finally fell into
clinch. They were tied up. Then the
referee came Billy continued to throw
lefts. He would show them. After the
gong there was some applause.
Slim said. Take your time"
Billy heard it. But the second round
was faster than the first And the third
was about the same His left came
from all sides He'd show them. He
could do that forever. So he was
washed up, was he? There was no way
for OBrien to get away from his left.
Billy felt good. 1t was all so simple.
In way, it had always been simple.
1t was always jab. jab, and then the
hook and that was that 1t was just
as simple as that, once you found 1t
out And lots of things had happened
since he found out. Lots of fights, lots
of left hooks. He had been champ.
But he had lost the title to that bum,
Davis. Well, that was all in the game.
What the hell He'd come back
There was lot of applause after the
third round. Helen loved it and hated
it at the same time She was proud OF
Billy, and she despised herself for it,
She was as proud of him as on the day
she had first met and fallen in love
with him. She had thought he was the
most wonderful man in the world. 1t
was silly. she knew, but she still felt
that way. She left like those kids in
front of the Garden waiting for him to
come out and scribble his name on a
piece of paper She had hated herself
for it for long time and she hated
herself now.
Between the fourth and the fifth,
Sordoni bent over him. Now" he
said into Billy's ear, now let's GO
He heard the gong as if from far
away. His arms we're so heavy he
could hardly lift them. He threw his

c. |. 0. ExpuIsions

The removal of two officers of the
Baltimore local of the C. I, o. Indus
trial Union of Marine and Shipbuild-
ing Workers who were accused of
"CommuniStic activity" is a whole
some example of union seIf-disci-
pline.
The tWo-president and business
agent-were convicted of using their
official position ito promote the aims
and policies of the Communist party
to the detriment of the union" ac-
cording to the general Executive
Board which directed the custer
after sitting the charges. Spe-
ciflcally, they were said to have re
f1ected the attitude of the Commu-
mist party in criticizing national
defense, the Office of Production
Management and the Shipbuilding
Sterilization Committee"
Earlier in the year, this union, an
important factor in the defense pro-
gram, took firm stand against sub
verSive elements, voting expulsion
for any member found guilty of fos-
tering alien doctrine. When it was
decided that this principle had been
violated in the present instance,
there was no hesitancy in melting out
the penalty the offense warranted.
Coincident with this step, another
large C. 1. o. union-United Textile
WorkerS-adopted a resolution BAN
ming Communists as officers. A reSo-
luton of this nature was drafted for
the c. I. o. convention in Atlantic
City last November by the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, but back
stage maneuvering prevented the
membership from passing on it. In
its stead, "compromiSe" was
adopted, declaring that advocates of
alien doctrines have no place in
this great modern labor movement"
A much more fortnight attitude
has been displayed by textile and
Shipyard workers in graphing boldly
with this question.
