#iy that there may be several such
centres in Vancouver before the

taking an active interest im the
campaign. Charles Stewart, execu-
tive member of Vancouver Trades
and Labor Council is all for sup-
portine “the youne folks in their
endeavors.”

“We- need such centres,” he
stated this week “not only to edu-
eeate the young worker already or
ganized, but in order to ain
youne organized workers closer to
the progressive movement.”

Harry Miller, Vancouver Sports
Club maestro, has announced that
his club is willing to stage a series
ef Sunday night affairs to aid the
eampaisn in cooperation with the
sponsors of the movement.

The William Lyon Mackenzie
TCL club also announced this
week inauguration of a campaisn

which achievement he was roundly
booed. Sonny eot even in the
seventh however, when he con-
tacted the wily Bunka’s chin with
his right and sent him down for
a full two minutes, to the huge de-
light of the crowd.

Bunka pinned Sonny again in
the tenth and refused to let hi.

his shoulder. He elbowed Bunka
and then the fight was on.

Bunka started on a rampage,
tore Butler’s shirt off and wrapped
it round his neck. Somebody oblig-

when they came on again there
were ten in the ring.

A fan teok a couple of pokes at
Bunka, challenging him to a
match. Bunka accepted the cnai-
