THE AMAZING REPORT OF STEEL

The University of Pittsburgh has
lust finished piece of labor research
which would leave the labor world
gasping in glad surprise. This insti-
tuition. located in the very capital of
industrial reaction, endowed by
wealth largely gathered by steefs ex-
ploitation of its workers Il hours a
day and 84 hours a week, has written
report that might have come from
labor organization.
That report was written by Dr..
Ralph J. Watkins, who headed the
research. 1t calls for the organization
Of steel workers, without coercion by
employers It calls for collective bar
gaining on national scale. The key
paragraphs of this report cannot be
summarized; they must be quoted:
First, steel workers should be or
ganized Effective administration Of
personnel relations in plants employ
ing hundreds and even thousands Of
workers and in companies employing
tens Of thousands of workers is de-
pendent on organization that extends
to the lower reaches; moreover, only
through organization can the workers
protect their interests.
Second, the logic Of the industry's
operation is such that vertical rather
than craft organization is called for
Integrated operations extending from
blast furnace to the finished rolled
steel product constitute the economic
unit And form Of organization
that would encourage jurisdictional
disputes would be socially inefficient
Furthermore, since management Isl
organized on vertical basis, any ap-
proach to equality Of bargaining
power would require a similar yerti-
cal organization Of the workers.
Third, collective bargaining should
be on national basis and not on
plant basis The plant is little more
than cell in the iron and steel indus
try, and the economic factors bearing
on wage rates and hours proceed from
and in turn affect the national mar
ket-wages constitute a significant
part Of costs, and management must
consider them in a national setting.
In short, management will bring to a
wage discussion a national point Of
view backed by the industry's united
front, formed on the advice of both
inside and outside experts. Should
not the workers do likewise?
Fourth, organization of steel work
ers should be in accord with the prin-
ciples Of industrial democracy, under
which the workers are accorded the

FARM LABOR

"We note with interest and hope" !"
he says, recent speeches of Secre-
tary Wallace, in which he states that
the department of agriculture has
heretofore throughout it's history been
concerned primarily with the top third
Of the farmers in the country, and
that it must turn its attention to the
others from now on. But our expe-
rience has been such that we cannot
believe that the D. of A. will be able,
| in any near future, to remove itself
from domination by the rich and large
land owning class of farmers and
their political pressure lobbies.
"We recall vividly our inability in
the days of the AAA to get adequate
redress of our grievances as to the
disposition of benefit payment and as
| to dispossessing us from our slight
foothold on the land in violation of
the cotton contract. Ample evidence
of these violations was in the hands
of the AAA. Very little was done
about it, to say nothing of any genuine
attack on the problems of agricul-
tural labor.
1--WE consequently strongly urge
that the farm security administration
and its operating corporation be es-
tablished as an independent federal
agency, and that tenants, share crop
pers and farm workers be given rep
resentation on the central board of
control"
Terrorism Condemned
| Mr. Blackstone urges that the labor
relations act and social security act
be amended to include agricultural la

he takes up two extremely important
matters:

ARMSTRONG 3-1
 OVER SARRON IN TEST TONIGHT
Californian May Be Weak :. From Weight-Making
 for Worlds Crown

New York, october %. - (UP)- Claim to one of the most disputed titles in the history of boxing will be settled tonight when Henry Arm- strong, Los Angeles Negro, meets Pete Sarron, of Birmingham at Madison Square Garden.
 Both are claimants to the l26- pound crown. Sarron is recognized by the National Boxing Association which makes hir.. boss in most for- eign rings. Armstrong rules the class in California and Illinois. Since many champions have found it hard to keep, within, weight limits and because several have abandoned the throne, there have been few times when one man has had a clear claim to the feavherweight title. The winner tonight will be first undis- puted champion since Battalino out- grew the division in 1929.
 Odds favoring Armstrong range from g. to 3-1, but the Pacific coast dynamiter, a natural light weight, had trouble pairing off the necessary pounds and may enter the ring in weakened condition. He is the tavorite because he is younger, packs the stiffer punch, and is generally regarded as the classiest pugilist in the ring today.

TRINITY SLIGHT CHOICE TO WIN FROM WESLEYAN
Connecticut College Rivals Clash Tomorrow; O'MaI-
 ley Ready
(By UNITED PRESS)

Trinity emerged today as a slight faVorite to defeat Wesleyan when they clash at Hartford tomorrow in Connecticut's major small college attraction of the year.
 Outside of Steve Truex, fleet footed back, the Trinity team was in excellent shape despite the ter- rife trouncing it took from Con- necticut State last week.
 Bob OMalley, knocked goofy on the first play of last Saturdays fray, was ready to face Wesleyan.
 As for Wesleyan, Coach Jack Blott grew increasingly worried over absence of couple of his major stars, out with injuries. Archie Horne, backfleld ace, 1t out for the season following an appendicitis operation, and so is Butch Bottjer, center and place-kicker.
 Bob Lichtenberg, starting tackle, has 8 bad ankle and probably will have to be replaced. Others who suffered hurts in the Amherst game last week have recovered and will be in the lineup against Trinity.
 If Trinity wins, the small college championship of the state will re- main without a possessor for the 1887 season. Trinity was defeated by Connecticut State which, in turn, was trounced by Wesleyan, If Wes- leyan should win tomorroW's en- counter, however, 1t will be cham pion.
 Connecticut State, victors in its past three games by overwhelming scores, put finishing touches on its training for the invasion of Middle bury college to Storrs Saturday.
 Middlebury has lost only one game this year-to Williams by a one-touch- down margin-and, as result of this record, bust be given the nod over the Connecticut team, but only slight one. On a wet field, the powerful, heavy Storrs team probably will be set up as favorite.

If their second meeting since last summer even remotely approaches the walloping on tap in their first glove duel which wound up with a TKO in favor of Freddy Pease of Willimantic who meets Joe Triano of Naugatuck tonight at Bucking- ham hall in the main bout of ten fight program, should be "one for the book"
 Both boys have been working hard during the past week, each bent on being at top form in hopes of victory. It will mark the fourth time that they have met in recent months, Pease holding the edge by virtue of technical knockout. Pre- vious to that, they met first at Savin Rock with Triano the winner. The following meetings took place at the Randolph-C Gloves stadium, the first resulting in a draw and Pease taking the last meeting.
 Tickets Going
 Interest in the bout is reported high and according to the pro- motors there has been @ good ad- vance sale. A number of Trianos followers are coming in from Nau- gatuck, and Pease will not be alone, 8 group from his home town hav- ing bought a block of tickets for tonight.
 Pease has been cutting poundage during the past few days and when he finished his workout yesterday he was down to 153 pounds. He will be able to come down another, mak- ing 152 the weight agreed upon when the match was signed Both boys are scheduled to weigh In Fri day under the watchful eye of State Athletic Commissioner Joseph H.

Today's Sport
 Parade.
By HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press stan correapondeGh

Hannibal, Mo-, Oct. -(UP)- Being a man who never has had more than $995, 900 in his pocket at one time, it always shocks me to hear anyone speak so lightly of million dollars as did John Mon tague the other day at Elizabeth town when the jury came in with the good news.
 Monty, freshly acquitted from a serious charge, rolled the words million dollars" of this tongue when asked about contract he had signed with his booking agent, the Crosby who can't sing.
 The Crosb boy who can't sing said his client was a cinch to become millionaire, what with radio, movies, endorsements and his un- canny ability with golfng imple- ments.
 As said, the bandying about of such a sum as 8 million smackerS shocked me. Now I am not very old, or very worldly wise, but I have been around long enough to know that one million dollars is not hay. Or even hay-hay. One million dol- lars is very serious business, such sum should be spoken of in a rev. erent tone of voice.
 Nearly all the men who lay their hands on that sum today are men who have worked mighty hard to make it. It doesn't come over night, except by inheritance.
 Montague is not the first athlete who, intoxicated. by the strong drug of newspaper clippings, envisioned quick wealth. Jim Thorpe, prob ably the greatest all-around athlete of all time, had such an outlook at one time. But it turned out to be mirage, and Jim, who had thrilled millions, including kings and queens, wound up digging ditches.
 Red Grange was another. With

his flying legs he made the number ''77" familiar to every citizen in this country. But he didn't make his million. It looked as if he couldn't miss when he started. But long before he had his million, or any serious part thereof, he was leading dance bands in places that were little bett CT than monkey torlks.
 And not long ago Babe Didrik- son, the most amazing woman ath- lete in history, announced that the pot of gold at the end of the rain- bo wwas hers for the asking. The Babe, her head swinging a little from the ballyhoo, said that all she wanted was 8 million and that after that she would retire to the plains of Texas and call it quits. We'll, the Babe still is out there working for her first one hundred thousand.
 I hope Monty makes his million But can tell him right now that it isn't going to be a breeze, a shoo-in. He'll never do it of of radio, and he'll never do it off movie shorts. His reputation was built golfer The only way he can ever around one thing-his ability as a give it foundation, guarantee its withstanding the attack of time, is to go out on the fairways and the greens and prove it was an honest reputation. Unless he wants to be forgotten, he must, within the next few years, win himself major golf title, be it the American open, the British open, or the amateur.
 know Monty well. I have eaten with him, drank with him, played with him. like him, very much. But he must dig deeper than the Hollywood surface to keep from letting a lot of people down.

JOHN SHAW HAS BEST TOTAL IN
 CHASE CIRCUIT
Mickey Sharon Second {; Works Shipping Room
 Team Active Tonight

Jumping John Shaw captain of the Off1ce team and Vice president of the Chase Company Bowling League is topping the bowlers in his 1 circuit with the average of 116.4 for the first four weeks of play, John who has seen action on the alleys in various Chase bowling leagues in the last twenty years, has also high sim gle of 149. Mickey Sharon star anchor man on the Metal Rec'g team is second in averages with 113.7 and also has high three with 375.
 With the release of the averages this week many of the teams handi- caps will in all probability be some- what lower.
 Tonight the league welcomse a team made up of bowlers in the Metal Works Shipping Room, for many years these fellows who pack, nail and mark cases in the shipping room have been trying to get a fran chise in this league, after a meet ing last week the captains agreed to have the Sitting Room at Chase Rolling Mill and the Hennessey Five stars combine to enable the new team to enter.
 Louis L'heureux of the Metal Rec'g team has given the boys some- thing to shoot at when he set up a 96 score without a mark, in the first four weeks of play.
 Two Chase representative teams in the Dusty League are doing al- right by themselves. The Chase Metal Works are tied with the Brass for first place, while the Factory are in second place one game out of first place. Seems like an old Span ish custom these Chase teams always up on top of bowling leagues.
