Saturday night. In this bout the boys had one fall each. Ed took the first fall in the first round. The Tiger came back in the third and last round to even things up. in the second bout that big bone- erusher, Scotty Jackson challenged Ed Bolton and Tiger Robertson. He agreed to pin them both, one at a time, in 25 minutes. The Tiger was the first. He lasted about ten minutes. Ed Bolton gave Scotty 2 tough time, but owing to an acci- dent the referee called the bout off. The feature bout of the evening was between the good-looking squirmer, Don Lott, and the vici- ous barber, Bill Masson. This was a five-round bout and was filled With action. Both boys are clever at squirming out of the various holds, especially the headlock. Bill took the only fall in the third. The fourth bout was a mixed af- fair, bringing together Billy Bland the hard“hittine pug. and Bobby Garnell, that fast and furious Squirmer. Bobby took a lot of pun- ishment in the three rounds and kept the squirmer’s reputation that a boxer can not take a wrestler. The bout ended in a draw. Hist fans got a treat when Mike Banich won the decision over Ron- ny Johnson. The second bout, be- tween two young boxers, Art semft and Duke Adams, was fought to a draw. The last feature bout, between two of our older battlers, Hrank Douchon, and the fighting Trishman, Jerry O’Shea, plenty of action and was a good Show. Dhe bout ended even. More Pay And Shorter Hours Helps Writers Impoverished Working- class Make Poor Market DENVER, Colo—(PP)—“More pay and shorter hours for longshoremen mean more macazines sold; and more Magazines sold mean more maga- zines published, with an increased market for the writers’ Wares, plus 4n increased word rate resulting from the Prosperity of the publish- ers.’’ In such commonsense terms, Harry Adler, associate editor of the “Author and Journalist,” explains to writers the economics of their eraft in an article on the ‘Writer and Lengshoremen’s Wages.” Explaining that 4 man with 15 cents in his pocket will buy a pack- showed "GYPSIES" WILL SHOW HERESOON New Soviet Film Coming to Little Theatre on January 11 “Gypsies,” the latest Soviet pic- ture to be shown at the Little The- atre, January ji1 to i6, inclusive, deals with one of the more minor nationalities in the Soviet Union, so unique in many ways that it makes for absorbing interest in this Soviét film. Gypsies, by their yery nature, are not located in any special region, but from time immemorial have wandered everywhere. This circum- Stance is not caleulatea to simplify the problem or Settling them on the land, which is the theme of the film. Furthermore, the Gypsies have never before had a written alpha- bet, language or literature. At the present, however, Soviet linesuistic experts have transliterated the Spoken Romany language, and de- vised an alphabet for them so that Gypsy newspapers and books are now being printed for the first time in history. Another aspect of this momentous change is to be found in the famous Moscow Gypsy Theatre, the only Lala Chemaya and others of the east of “Gypsies,” as well as the co- director, Moise Goldblat, are mem- bers of this theatre, the others belong to a Gypsy tribe now settled in the Ukraine. A preview on Sunday night, Jan- Wary 10th, will mark the openins ofthis new Soviet picture. vanee in prices. national Gypsy theaire in the world. * and most of No ad— DEPUTY SHERIFF PROMISE FAILS Family Evicted and Left to Fend for Them- selves Kiviction of Mr. and Mrs: 2B: Young and their family of six from their home at 404 Bast Broadway Was carried out by the deputy Sheriff, assisted by a dozen city police officers on December 16. The deputy, in: order to get the family out of the house and prevent a clash with pickets, signed a state- ment that he would help the family to find suitable living quarters, but has never fulfilled his promise. For about eight weeks Mr. Young had been searching for a place to move his family, with no success, as landlords do not welcome relief families, and more so when the family is large. Sergeant Scanlan and the police officers threatened to break in the doors, and the pickets, not desirous of seeing the children injured by police, took the sheriff at his word and left the jpremises. Hinally Mr. Young found three in- side bedrooms in a rooming house on Cordova Street, usually inhabit- ed by men, where one common bath- room and wash basin does for all roomers. The $.U.P.A. and the Unemployea and Part Time Workers’ Assp. have done considerable work for the dis- tressed family, by -gatherine= the donations of food, clothing and money that neighbors and store- keepers donated so Senerously. They a1So supplied pickets to help the family keep their home. Being: a delegate to the Vanecou- ver-New Wrestminsied Trades and Labor Council, from the Bricklayers and Masons Union, No: 1 B.C, I submitted a resolution to that body on November 17, 1936, condemning the action of the police commission, also the city council for hiring W. A. Tucker to do a certain job in the police department. After he had done it to the best of his ability they discharged him for reasons best known to themselves. At the last resular meeting of the Bricklayers & Masons Union, I “re- ported what I had done, and the minutes of the Trades Union Coun- cil were read. I asked the members of this union if I had done right, and, if not, to say so. The result Was-a motion, passed unanimously, endorsing my action. AS one member expressed it, we Want a clean, Honest administration. At the time I submitted this reso- lution I did not know this man, W. A. Tucker, néver spoke to him, but I believe he was doing honest work for the city, and I considered he had got @ raw deal from the police commission. I am also of the opinion, that if we had more men like W.A. Tucker.

Dear Sir: The Daily Province of Wednesday, November 18, 1936, re- ported on a meeting of the Vancou- ver, New Westminster and District Trades and Labor Council. Whilst sreatly appreciatine your action and opinion expressed at this meeting, I wish to deal particularly With the statement made by Presi- dent Colin McDonald, as reported by the “Province,” siz.: “Personally,” he @feDonald) said, “I did business with this man Tucker when he was in the relief department,” and “I found him difficult to deal with.” I understand, Mr. Fordyce, that there is a meetine of the Trades and Labor Council on Tuesday evening next. It is not possible for me to ap- bear in person, but I would ask, in faimess to myself, that you register Strong protest against the statement attributed to President McDonald. I have no recollection of meeting this man anywhere, or at any time, nor did he or anyone else of the ‘clan” McDonald ever do business with me, outside of my good friend, Ald. Lou. McDonald. I would ask President McDonald to give details of the time and place he claims\to haye met me, also the character of the “business”? he states he did with me. In my work with the city of Van-— couver, it was necessary to keep a fairly detailed diary. If MeDonald will supply the in- formation asked for, I will effectual- ly deal with it, and get the “Daily Provinece’’ to give it the same measure of publicity as McDonald's statement Was given, also any re- traction or apology he cares to make, when I have shown him to be in error or unfair in his state- ments. Thanking you in anticipa- tion and wishing your organization and its members every success and the compliments of the season. Yours in all sincerity, (Signed) WILFRED A.
