grateful for the sacrifices you are
making and are happy and proud
OF the conduct of the American
forces.
I cannot too strongly emphasize
or implore our working people as
to the necessity of making greater
sacrifices If called upon, in the
interests of this great world strug-
gle. My appeal is also directed TO
the men of business.
Lesson for Businessmen.
I desire to say to them that they
must do like the businessmen of
England-be governed by decisions
and do nothing to irritate the work
ers to the end that they may cause
dissatisfaction amongst the toilers:
and that eventually all questions at
issue between capital and labor
should be subjected to decision by
! governmental tribunals; and that
the leaders of our country should
be supported. not because they are
Democrats or Republicans. but be-
cause they are in charge of the
running of this great struggle for
/ the salvation of civilization: and
that first, last and always, not only
are these other countries that are
now destroyed and ravaged praying
night and day that they might be
successful, but that the 44,0OO 900
people in England, mostly the toll
ers, are looking with eager eyes and
nervous hearts to the actions of
the American workers and en-
! ployers.
The businessmen and govern
mental authorities of England know
that unless we keep on rendering
greater and greater assistance and
making greater and greater sacri-
fees. the struggle will be prolonged
Indefinitely. And there is a posi-
bility of defeat.
The Labor party of England
which is the opposition party to the
government, is devoting its entire
energies toward helping the gov
ernment in this struggle. Politics as
We know it in this country is al
most eliminated over there. They
feel that there is a greater prize at
stake-the price of liberty.
Mystified by MISUNDERSTANDING.
They are to be commended and
they wonder, and you cannot blame
them-and I am now talking about
| all classes in England after meeting
the highest men amongst employ
ers and governmental authorities
as we'll as the leaders and the rank
and file of labor over period OF
four weeks-I repeat, they wonder
and are mystified by our political
and labor misunderstanding in the
United States.
The last appeal to me from the
great Congress of Labor was the

BOXER DIES FROM
FIGHT INJURIES

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16. (UP)
John M. Marquee, 36-year-old
Redwood City boxer, died at Central
Emergency hospital today appar-
emily of injuries suffered when he
was knocked out last night by AL
fred David Globe, 30, Los Angeles,
in the eighth round of their fight at
National hall.
Globe was held in the city prison.
Police said a technical charge of
manslaughter would be placed
against him.
Globe substituted last night for
Pauly Peters, a soldier who scored
a technical knockout over Marquee
two weeks ago. They had been re-
matched for last night, but Peters
was unable to get leave from mill
tary duty and Glove was selected
to take his place.
In the first three rounds, ring
siders said, Marquee fought Globe
all over the ring. In the seventh
Marquee appeared to tire and Globe
carried the fight to him.
A minute before the bell sounded
to end the eighth round, Globe
forced Marquee into a corner of the
ring and landed an uppercut to
Marquee chin. Marquee collapsed.
He was taken to emergency hospital
when efforts to revive him failed.
Marquee died without regaining
consciousness.
