GENE TUNNEY AND BERNARD SHAW.
'REFUSES BOXING PART IN
"CASHEL BYRON.”
Gene Tunney, the heavy-weight boxing champion of the world has refused to "star" in the proposed film version of Mr. George Bernard Shaw's novel, "Caahel Byron's Profession."
An American producer recently cabled an offer of £15,000, for the kinema rights of the novel, coupled with the statement that the champion had been cast for the chief character. Mr. Shaw is reported to have replied with a demand for £20,000 and the suggestion that the part of the villain should be assigned to Jack Dempsey, whom Tunney recently de-. [eated."
Tunney to-day declares that after care- fully reading the work he considers it silly, adding:
When Mr. Shaw conceived the idea of writing a novel around a boxer he had a splendid opportunity, but he missed it. He, understands neither the temperament nor the psychology of a professional boxer, with the result that Byron is made to appear as no niore than a blundering vulgarian. That the girl in the book, reared in an at- mosphere of culture and refinement, should fall in love with a man whose only appeal is his magnificent body is absurd.
Tunney paid a tribute to Mr. Shaw's mentality, but declared that the novel must be regarded as the product of his immature years.
Mr. Shaw's Amusing Reply, When Mr. Shaw was told of Gene Tunney's refusal to appear in a film version of Cashel Byron's Profession," ho said:
Tunney ought to know more about it than I do.
If he thinks he can rewrite the book and improve it he had better do so. Tunney is quite right in describing the work as immature, but I am not quite sure if he knows what the boxers in the Dineteenth century were ke. Cashel Byron would be glad to get one guinea for's fight, while Tunney might want"

WAGE DEDUCTIONS FÖR BÅD WORK.
ALLOWED BY KING'S BENCH JUDGES.
Judgment was given for the Riverside Mills Company, Bolton, in the King's Bench Division recently, against a de cision of local justies who ordered them to repay to a work girl named Hart the sum of ed. they deducted from her wages for bad work done.
The Lord Chief Justice said that Miss Hart was a weaver. The question was whether the employers could legally de duct the sum from wages instead of claiming it in civil proceedings. It was admitted that although the deduction from wages of small aums for bad work workpeople complained that it was against all the principles of the Truck Acts.
100,000 dollars for modernised for done had been a practice for years, the

The workpeople, in his opinion, should receive wages on a standard basis under their contracts of employment, and if the workman did bad work, the only remedy the employer had was to zue him for compensation.
