The rank and file committee gained a victory during the confer- ence by obtaining an extension of the time granted for the convention. In‘reply to Aubrey Williams’ request that the committee instruct the vet- erans to accept work relief, Hicker- son replied: “Neither you, nor I, nor the Presi- dent of the United States can com- Pel these worker-veterans to accept work relief which means six days a. week work at four hours a day for ninety cents an hour. In fact, this committee will do all in its power to organize the veterans to resist and to fight these miserable conditions.” The committee also obtained a pledge from the government, that the wives and children of veterans who accompany them to the conven-| tion will receive full support in the District of Columbia. There are at present two thousand ontrol Bonus Marchers veterans in Washington who came and taken to a vote at the next mesership meeting. Samuel Jaffe, garage chairman, whose discharge from a Bronx gar- age precipitated the recent strike, came to the meeting and declared that he was through with the Sam- uel Smith group in the Bronx, which along with the Socialist leaders did all in their power to split the union and herd the drivers into the A.

Harold Hickerson, of the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League of New| York and chairman of the Com- mittee, stung Howe with the follow- ing militant reply: | “Neither you nor I can nor the | administration itself can change | the mandate and decisions of the | great majority of the 3,000 regis- tered war veterans who were in convention here last year and | adopted the Three-Point Pro- m.” The right to hold daily open-air meetings was also wrung from| Howe and General Hines of the} Veterans’ Administration. The offi- cials of the District had at first re- fused to grant any permits for such meetings. Indicative of the attempt to split and weaken the ranks of the yeter- ans, Howe tried a subterfuge to get Emanuel Levin, chairman of the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League, off the Committee, charging that Levin had called him up the night before in a drunken condition. Ac- tually, Levin was not even present in Washington during that time, Hickerson replied to Howe: “Levin and I have both been elected to the National Commit- tee and are both members of the Committee today. We intend to stay on.” Then the negotiations for a camp site were continued. from various part of the country to attend the convention and addi- tional contingents are on the way.

As was ex-| Pected, they were found guilty and 23 were fined $5 and four were fined $10 each. The case was a] pealed and will come before a jury during this month. Warrants for contempt of court were served on each of the 27 de- fendants, when entering court. The trial on these charges started on April 30, before Judge Thomas J. Hammond. There is no jury trial in such cases. The pickets conducted here their own defense on class lines, through @ representative committee of five chosen by the pickets. Donald Burke of the International Labor Defense assisted, For three days the hearings went on, the firm consuming two full days in presenting their evidence against the union, among other things introducing a spy from the Scott Detective Agency and the po- lice who had made the arrests. We P-| bosses’ association in applying for succeeded in forcing to the front the real issues of the injunction. Every one in the court room was amazed at this unusual procedure of 27 pickets forcing the class issue in the court, exposing before the workers the subterfuge used by the an injunction and the rapidity with which it is obtained since the N. R, A. has blessed the country; what it does to the workers, resulting in cuts in wages and worsening of con- ditions of work. The pickets openly declared their defiance of the in- junction and the court order as the only means of preventing fur- ther attacks of the bosses. The judge then invited the de- fendants’ committee and the firm’s lawyer for a conference in his chambers. He then proposed that if picketing against this company will be stopped, he would continue the cases for final disposition in November and place them on file.

Naturally, he re- fused to pay the fine and started serving the sentence at once, The union will mobilize the work- ers and their organizations to secure their support in demanding the im- mediate release of Brother Gilbert and to continue the fight against injunctions.

I let him fall and he lay on the cold Garden floor until he was | counted out. * * HETHER Mr. Hamer is still the general manager of the Ridge- wood Grove, which catered to a huge Nazi gathering two or three weeks ago, I do not know. His duties were no doubt an agony and p. struggle to him even at the time I was in contact with him. It. is imaginable that this contact alone must have tortured him a thousand times. Mr. Hamer was one of the gentlemen to whom I represented all that was evil in this decent world. What he and his co- workers labored to put together I attempted blithely to tear asunder. Over this matte~ did our final con- versation take place. Mr. Hamer counseled me like a father. He had once worked for the Journal, he told me, and he knew the best way to get along in the world. It was not the way of rid- iculing wrestling matches and neinting out that certain fights had been subjected to a gentleman's agreement. Mr. Brisbane had not made a fortune and reputation by doing that. One could also look at the other newsyapermen of New York. None of them were as flip- pant and scandalous as I. They regarded their business as. serious. They would hold on to their jobs forever, and when they died a lot of people would follow after their hearses in fancy limousines. My future, if I did not change, could only be a bleak one. My paper would eventually fire me and no one would own me. The only thing for me to do was to look out for myself. I was still young; I had time to reform. Thus did the counsel go. It was repeated to me, if not in so many words, by others equally interested in my welfare. From time to time even more seductive considerations than a picture of the future were laid in my path. But to all these pleadings and admonitions I answered with stern resolve. I continued to write of some wrestlers that they had every crown but the crown of a good name and of others that they did not rehearse enough and that the technique of their performances was falling down asa result. I wrote, with the hest intentions, of Zybysko that being an old man he should retire and charge people money for simply looking at him. All these things, as I said. were not taken in the proper spirit and I was never invited again to cover wrestling bouts, either at the Ridge- wood or anywhere else. I have for- gotten exactly, because I used to send a deputy to cover the boxing think that boxing tickets were also withdrawn by the honest impres- sarios of that establishment. eke oe MR. WERGELES assurad me that though he never reads the Daily bouts at the Ridgewood, but I Worker he sends tickets every week; I therefore imagine that he has an idea of the “Daily's” influence.

I am afraid it would break his heart if the newspapers ever treated his wrestlers neg- ligibly. It would de ingratitude be- cause his mas ter, Mr. Curley, is a good na- tured and gen- erous gent. I am afraid, however, that I have not reformed. I looked Monday upon Mr. Curley’s mon- sters with the same low thoughts as of yore. The act has not changed. It has been pepped up a bit, how- ever. The groans almost touch one, I always am tempted to try halt when the painful ex- pressions begin to distort the stolid faces. In the matter of painful ex- pressions and shrieks like those of an animal or a crooner in pain, Signor Savoldi and Mr. Londos, T must admit, exceed even the art- istry of such a man as Renato Gardini, who used to be my favor- ite. I always applauded when a belt was awarded to Signor Gar- dini. T knew of course that it was always the same belt but I liked the sentiment. T saw him awarded a belt seven times. Two features have been increased since I was last around the dig- gings. The bouncing off the ropes and the punching are now evidently jan indispensable part of the lines. Instead of falling, presumably ac- cidently, against the ropes and bouncing off them naturally, the gorillas new throw themselves on the ropes simultaneously, one on |each side of the ring, and jump off | them into the air with a whoop. Then come the shouts from the customers, and the boys fall back on the ropes again and repeat the |trick. With the customers still shouting, the wrestlers start chas- jing each other around the ring, |looking at each other ferociously, and now and then trying to get a |look at the number of spectators, |lest the promoter make a mistake jin_arithmetic. Savoldi hooked Londos with a right at one time and the guests must have thought it was going to kill him. Such a look came into the Greck Apollo’s eye as must have come into Bishop Manning’s when he tried to tickle Pegey Hopkins Joyce, and Peggy socked him. One would be sure to think that this was a foul blow indeed: Mr. Lon- dos came back with a lunge, and missed, and sprawled on the floor like a Congressman. When he lifted himself he lay down again, taking as many encores as the boos allowed. This evening Savold! was working according to the applause and Londos to the boos. . 8 « Jim Londos i Lage end came after 47 min. and 9 sec. First Londos sat astride Savoldi's posterior and worked his colleague's legs like levers, pushing backward and forward and from side to side, while Savoldi yelled blue murder. Then Apollo got him- self thrown off. Then the boys began flinging each other around the ring. This means the finish is near. To me, it seemed, let me repeat, that the boys were after me, and I was ready to run for my life. Londos was thrown out twice, into my lap. When he returned the last time he side-stepped Sa- voldi's plunge and the enemy just missed me and bit the dust. As he went out of the ring his handler, who is a practical gentleman, picked up the bathrobe and made his way leisurely to his side, before the referee began counting. He must have known by clairvoyance that the evening's business was over.
