half of the Consumers League
and the Y. w. c. A. and made a
most eloquent plea to the repre-
sentatives to vote against the bill
which would add to an already
growing child delinquency condi-
tion and accumulate evils against
which we would be fighting for
years to come.
Mrs. A. P. Guyol, representing
the League of Women Voters,
spoke against the measure and
asked that it be defeated. She
spoke briefly and said that her
organization was in entire agree
ment with what had been said by
those who had spoken before her.
Representative of the school
teachers organization opposed the
bill in strong terms, emphasizing
the fact that there is high degree
of illiteracy in Ohio and that if the
law were passed, it would become
contributing factor in increasing
this by discouraging school attend
ance in minors who would accept
work and never return to school.
AFL Speaks Against Bill
Representing the AFL in speak
ing against the bill was VIM.
Sturm, who condemned it in no
uncertain terms and called upon the
representative to vote against it.
Sturm also spoke against H. B..
1913, which would regulate unions.
H. B. 1913, which would regulate
labor unions in the state, came in
for considerable opposition with
o. J. Pecord, editor of the Toledo
Union Journal speaking against the
bill.
Pecord said in part: "It's hard
for the workers to fight the battle
of production and the battle of bad
labor legislation. This bill and 9TH
ers in the state and national legis-
lature aimed at repressing or de-
stroying labor, will, if passed, de-
stroy not only the morale of the
workers and endanger the war eff
fort, but will undermine the mo-
rale of the entire country and the
armed forces themselves.
Will Vote Against Bill
State Representative Fred R.
Myers, who presided over the
meeting, at the end of the hearing
on H. B. 1913 assured the audience
of more than 200 persons present
at the meeting that the Toledo
representatives and senator's would
vote against the bill. He said, "We
stand opposed to this measure, We
understand labor and will vote
against this bill" His promise was
greeted with applause by the audi
ence, which had applauded each
speaker as he completed his or her
talk against the anti-labor bills.
H. B. 81 Gets Still Opposition
Also opposed by the CIO and
AFL representatives was H. B. 311,
or Pierce bill, which would relax
permanently the hourly limitations
on women and children in the can
ming industry.
o. j. Pecord and VIM. Sturm
spoke against the bill, the former
pointing out that 1--WE believe you
gentlemen are just as anxious as
we are to protect the children of
our state from exploitation. There
never has been a time when the
women and even the children of
our country did not rise to the oc-
casion, when necessity demanded
it, of defending their country. They
will not only work to the utmost,
but will, should it become neces-
sary, actually fire the guns to de-

Vice President Ohio CIO Council

Vice President Ohio CIO Council
All Ohio organized Labor is en-
phatically opposed to the second
substitute for Senate Bill 126. 1t
represents the ideas Of one par
ticular group Of employers whose
attitude in this matter has been
unreasonable from the start. But
the senate prefers to listen to
this group and ignore the sourder
reasons given by the representa-
tives Of the various women's or
ganizations as we'll as the repre-
sentatives of Labor.
We do no think this second SUBJ
stitute bill represents the attitude
of the progressive employers Of
Ohio. Despite the fact that all
those in a position to speak au-
thoritatively on war production
says that 48 hour week gives the
best results, this substitute bill
provides a 81 hour week for all
establishments whether they are
engaged in war work or not. But
this bill provides that any en-
ployer engaged in war work may
require women to work any num-
Der of hours he thinks is neces-
sary.

Up to Employer

Up TO Employer
The employer is not required to
consult any one as TO whether or
not he shall suspend the law. All
he is required to do is to notify
within ten days the Chief inspec-
tor of workshops and factories
that he has done so. This can only
lead to chaos and injustice because
it imposes upon employees the in
vidious burden of making COM
plant and supplying evidence that
they are being overworked by their
employer. Surely this does not
represent the best thought of
those who say that we must pre-
serve on the home front the rights
and liberties that our boys are
fighting for on the battle fronts.
We believe that better results
could be obtained by a commission
composed of persons who fully un-
derstand the situation both from
employers and employees stand
point. Such a commission could
extend the hours Of labor in war
work in all cases where it was
found necessary to promote war
production and keep matters under
lawful control, All Labor must
fight against the passing of this
bill.

Italian Town Escapes
War and Celebrates
With Firecrackers
BY JOHN LARDNER.

POSITANO, Italy, Dec. 20 (by
radio to NANA) delayed Almost
no one else came to Positano for
Christmas because this village which
runs down a mountain gorge to the
sea on the Sorrento Peninsula is
now at the end of the line. A bridge
was blown out in the coast road Just
beyond here and this leaves the citi-
zcDs to their own devices which were
very peculiar devices on Christmas
eve and Christmas Day.
The people seem to resent the fact
that the war has passed them By
a1d that all they know is peace and
eui3t. So for Christmas the men
End children of the town laid in a
S'lpply of fireworks which initiated
the sounds of war with horrible &C.
tIracy, and for 48 hours you could
rot hear the pealing of the bells OF
the SIX little churches for the noise
OF battle and bonlbardment.
The best effect they got was with
flrecracker which reproduced the
whistle of a falling bomb. Visitor,
who had been in London and other
eomber targets, bumped their Shout
GERS each time they heard this sound
and thought, That's a close one.
and waited for the thunderous blast
that seemed sure to follow.
Saw Only Few Planes.
To supplement their bomb whistle
the Positanians cut loose with giant
crackers and toy cannons. The little
brown beach and the terraces OF
the Moorish-style churches were lit
tered with happy -go-lucky explosive
matter.
They like the noise of war" ex-
planned Raffaele, the landlord of our
hotel, so long as there is no real
war to go with it. We never have
war. We just saw planes flying over
us on the way to some place else
and that was all"
In peacetime, the road which
winds through PoSitano and down
past the blown bridge was one of the

worlds most famous scenic high
ways. Revallo, down the line, is
glamorous with the memories of the
visits of Greta Carlo and Leopold
Stokowski. Positano itself is strewn
with memories of peacetime visitors
from America, Germany, England
and North Italy, all of whom are
gone now.
Street on 50-Degree Angle.
Positano has no streets except the
main highway which is known as
Christopher Columbus street, where
it curls through the. village. All
traffic moves on foot up and down
steep little stairways and broad or
narrow stone ramps. You go down
town" from the highway to the
beach at an angle of so degrees. To
go uptown" Is a real chore for a
stranger older than IS. But natives
of 80 and 80 skip up the stairways
and ladders like a chamois, the we'll
known mountain antelope.
Food is scarce but Raffaele and
his wife, whose last name is D'Aiello
and who possess souvenirs of the
Bronx and the New York World
Fair, were able to put together a
Christmas dinner of spaghetti and
zippole surrounded with the home
made and spicy salami of the region
which made the expedition worth
while.

fed as Beniamino and who ran a

No Wild Odds

Doyle's prices were closer than
many others. You'd never find him
laying to l that Georgia would
beat Auburn, Boston College would
beat Holy Cross, or that the Chicago
Bears would beat the Redskins.
Jack, who came up in football
from the days of Frank Hinkey and
The Bloody Corner, had seen too
many upsets, especially in tradition
al games.
The 1912 season was more than
ample evidence of the truth of his
beliefs. s
"When these traditional rivals
meet" he told me once, 81 throw
out the rest of the season. I've seen
too many underdogs win these
games. They have everything to
gain. The others have everything
to lose. / always try to find where
most of the tension is, and then
pick the loose and carefree boys
who are out to knock down the shin
ing target. Look back and you'll be
surprised to see how often it has
worked this way"
The answer came again during
the last month of his life and the
answer left no doubt.

Many who saw the fight had given
Corbett 20 of the first % rounds.
Doyle's Story
But Jack Doyle had another story
to tell. George Siler refereed this
fight" Jack said once, "and for a
long time tried to get him to tell
me what his decision would have
been if the fight had been only 20
round contest. For long time Siler
wouldn't say. Then one night he
told me confidentially, asking me
not to repeat his words, that at
the end of 20 rounds he would
have given the fight to Jeffries.
"Tn tell you why SiIer said.
:Jeffries was the champion. Jeffries
was the aggressor. And Jeffries
landed the only damaging punches.
1t was true enough that Corbett land
ed many more blows. But none Of
these bothered Jeffries in the slight
est. Jeffries only landed a few
times solidly, but when he did
could see that he had hurt Corbett
considerably. In fact, once or twice
he had C0rbett in serious trouble.
For that reason at the end of 20
rounds would have left the title
with Jeffries, the defender"
Corbett's Angle
Before his death, I talked to Cor
bett about this Jeffries fight on many
occasions.
Corbett felt dead sure that he had
lost the championship by being over
confident in the 23rd round.
81 had nailed Jeffries at least 10
times to one" he said. 81 don't
think anyone could hurt Jeffries
when he was in shape, as he was
then. You remember, Fitz broke
both hands on his jaw in their second
fight. But / was mailing him all
through the fight. was far in front

off the ropes"
I asked Corbett if jeff had hurt
him. Twice." Corbett said. "Both
body punches, and each time I
thought he had torn me in two.
The Jeffries that fought Jack John
son wasn't even a ghost of the old
Jeffries. He was a fat, half-bald
fellow, far out of shape. But the
Jeffries met the second time was
the greatest fighter I ever saw. He
was not only tough and rugged,
game and strong, not only killing
puncher, but he had also become a
high-class boxer, which few remem-
Der. He had to retire because there
was no one else even close. In his
prime don't think that Jack Demp-
sey or any one else could have hurt
him. He would have worn down and
beaten them ALL"

DOyIe's Favorite Story

Jack Doyle's favorite story con-
Germs Jimmy Austin, at that time
the Yankee third baseman.
Big Ed Walsh was pitching for
the White Sox. "Austin was hitting
around .209," Jack said. ''He hadn't
gotten hit for three days. Walsh
was at his peak. The big fellow
was moving them down with his fast
ball and his splitter. On that day
I happened to be sitting near a
bunch of gamblers who found it hard
to get down a bet. They were
panning Austin as he came to bat.
Sitting near those gamblers there
was a drunk about half asleep.
He suddenly lurched over and said
he would like to bet 500 to $500 that
Austin would get triple. This
was too good to be true, especially
after he had shown his roll. Five
of the sure-thing boys took him, $500
to $1,000, and I held the stakes. On
the first pitch Austin hit one against
the top of the fence for three bases.
''The funny part is, that was the
last bet they could get out of the
drunk. He crammed his winning
$500 into his pocket and went back
to sleep. His last remark was: Il
only make one bet game and then
I wait for sure thing that can't
miss
''I'd say the odds against that bet
were 1000 to l."
