Owens, MetcaIfe, and
Helen Stephens Win
at Berlin
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

BERLIN, Aug. 3 U.N.SO The
American Eagle screamed in vic
tory on the cinder paths of Ber-
Inns Olympic Stadium this after
noon when Jesse Owens and Ralph
Metcalfe swept the finals of the
mems 100-meter run and Helen
Stephens, of Missouri, hung UP a
miraculous new worlds record in
the women'S division.
Owens finished in ,0.3 seconds,
equaling the record set by Eddie
Tolan in Los Angeles in 1892,
which is also worlds record.
Metcalfe'S time was 10.4 and
Osendarp'S 1915. Unofficial plac-
ingS put Wykoff, Borchmeyer and
Strandberg fourth, fifth and sixth
in the order named.
Owens Is First
Owens flung his supple brown
body down the rust-red track well
ahead Of the fiel1 with Metcalfe,
Chicago Negro, a good second, and
OSendarp, of Holland. third.
Only q short while previously,
Miss Stephens had run her 100
meter heat in the almost incred-
ible time of 11.4. chipping. two
tenths Of a second off her own
previous worlds record and shat
tering the last olympic mark of
1l.9 set by Stella Walsh in 1892.
Owens drew the outside lane
next to Wykoff, with Metcalfe
on the inside. The track was fast,
despite a rain which fell all morn
ing, and the wind had died down.
The wind cost Owens the
worlds record mark of 1912 set in
the trials yesterday because the
Olympic committee thought things
over and decided his speed was
due at least to some extent to a
helpful following breeze.
OvercOmeS Handicap
Undaunted by his adverse de-
cision, the Ohio State flash today
overcame the handicap of an un-
favorable lane with a smashing,
convincing victory over the best
100-meter Sprinters in the world.
Mindful of his close call yester-
day. John Woodruff, of Connells.

Lewis Committee Set
on Organization Of
Steel Industry
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

A unique trial of IL American
Federation of Labor unions for
"insurrection" opened today with
the Federation's executive council
sitting as jurors, but with the de
PENDANTS" absent.
A labor leader who called for
peace and compromise in order to
continue union labor'S 50-year-old
solid front, was the first witness.
He was Henry K. OH, jr., of Mil
waukee, president of the WiScon-
sin Federation of Labor.
None seemed surprised that the
'rebel" unions, comprising the
Committee for Industrial Organ
ization headed by John L. Lewis
Of the United Mine Workers,
failed to appear.
Lewis has consistently said that
the c. I. O. did not recognize the
right of the A. F. of L. executive
council to call its members to trial,
He has said, too. that the c. /. o.
drive to organize the steel and
allied industries along mass in
dustrial lines would not be stopped
by the A. F. of l.. executive
council.
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, who heads the
industrial forces, comprising the
committee for industrial organi-
zation, has served final notice
With it's metal trades division
demanding outright suspension Of
the IL rebel unions, the Fedora
tion'S executive council convened
to take action.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, who heads
the industrial forces, comprising
the committee fCT industrial or
ganization, has served final notice
that he and his group intend to
continue their defiant drive to
organize steel and several allied
industries along mass or industrial
lines.
President William Green of the
A. F. of L. has stated the feder-
alton will not tolerate Insured
ton and that two governing bodies
cannot exist in a single labor
movement.
1t appeared inevitable that the
executive council would suspend
the rebel forces, thus breaking up
the solid front which union labor
has maintained for so years.
Such action would take away a
third of the A. F. of L. membership
and $4,000 a month revenue.
The c. I. o. claims more than a
million worker members.
