years. This sum was augmented by
license fees imposed by the State
Athletic Commission upon prom
oters, boxers, managers, seconds
and referees, as required by the
state boxing law.
Promoters were assessed q ten
per cent tax on their gate receipts,
after the federal tax was deducted.
from 1915 when the boxing law
was passed, until 1853 when the
State Legislature. at the behest of
the Commission, reduced the tax
to five per cent in order to tighten
the burden for promoters, who, al
80 at that time, were being as
sessed a twenty per cent amuse-
ment tax by the Federal Govern
ment.
Boxing in Minnesota enjoyed its
most prosperous financial era from
1915 through 1925 when the Twin
Cities became known as the boxing
capitol Of the world due to being
the home Of such boxing greats
as Mike and Tommy Gibbons, Mike
o'Dowd, Billy Miske, Jock Malone,

Michigan Employment Security
Commission, acting as the result of
decision by the State Supreme
Court in similar case involving
JAW members at Ford, belatedly
upheld the right Of the GIN work
ers to collect checks averaging $40
each.
The original denial of unemploy-
ment benefits was based on the
commissions ruling in the Ford
case that unemployment resulting
from work stoppage anywhere
in a multi-plant corporation dis
qualified johless workers from re-
ceiving benefits. The court over
ruled this contention, declaring
that an out-o-state work stoppage
was beyond the control of workers
in this state.

on Sept. Is, 1857, and settled eight
days later. The cutoff of materials
from Mansfield resulted in work

Backed By Farm,

Plans are moving forward for

Agricultural Workers into the
Meat Cutters, following approval
by both unions of the principle of
amalgamation.
In secret ballot, members Of
the 26-year-old farm union voted
overwhelmingly in favor of join
ing the Meat Cutters. The vote,
according to Agricultural Workers
Pres. H. L. Mitchell, was 1908 in
favor of merger and SO opposed.
Special Department Planned
Delegates to the recent Goth gen.
eral convention of the 100000
member Meat Cutters in Atlantic
City, N. j., unanimously approved
resolution authorizing its officers
to enter into a merger agreement
with the Agricultural Workers.
When the merger becomes final,
a special department for agricul-
tural, processing and allied work
ers will be established by the Meat
Cutters. Mitchell will join the
