leading with his left to Louis head.
His first good blow was a left
high on Louis forehead.
Louis first blow was left to
the body. After that he began
pressing forward on Brown, fol
lowing him around the ring for an
opening.
Brown Fights Well
Brown unleashed a brief furry

rights and lefts to Louis head and
body, but Louis followed with a
hard right to the body. Louis
missed an uppercut as he had
Brown in one corner, then fol

Louis missed an uppercut shortly
afterwards. Brown then hung on.
Louis got Brown into a corner and
landed hard right and the crowd
started an uproar as Brown came
out and went after the Bomber.
He came in with his hands over

him up with two uppercuts, then
Brown wrestled him to the ropes.
Brown landed two hard rights

Louis Staggers Matte

The military lads tied Columbus

Charlie landed his giant sunfish

First of all, you should know
that the sunfish is a lazy devil at

shore and take nap for himself
floating on top as he snoozes. He
is tough-skinned, extraordinarily

definitely for the Louis meeting
by Chairman Joe Triner. Of
the Illinois Boxing Commission.
Scheduled June 70
This fight, apparently being put
on in defiance of a Garden contract
calling for Schmeling and Brad.
dock here on June 8, is tentatively
scheduled for Comiskey Park, Chi
csgo, on June %. Whether this
document will stand up or even
whether it will ever be signed, I
have no way of knowing.
"WeIl sign tomorrow, if
everything is all right" Gould
said, just before heading West.
I might add that there's a third
thing I never have any way of
knowing and that's what a
prize fight manager deems to
be "all right" Some of them
can run faster than Owens
when they want to.
About the Gardens intentions,
I can be more specific. I know,
for example, that President John
r. Fitzpatrick has held several
conferences with the Gardens at
torneys during recent days, with
the result that it has been decided
that nothing can be done until
Braddock signs for Louis. If and
when Braddock does, Injunction
proceedings are to be instituted
Immediately, if possible the fol,
lowing day.
Max Challenger
These will be brought before
the Federal bench in New York,
where the Braddock-Sc -Schmeling
contract was signed last summer
after Schmeling's knockout VIC
tory over Louis had seemingly
established Schmeling as the chal-
lenger.
Later, it was said, Braddock
and Gould would be hailed before
the same court to show cause
why the Injunction should not
be made permanent.
Incidentally, Braddock has &C
cepted $4,000 already on the
Schmeling contract-$12,000 in
loans and $4,000 for training ex-
penSeS last Summer-and neutral
lawyers tell me that this abSo-
lutely closes the book. ..'=
So, maybe they'll sign in Chi
cago, but whether they'll fight in
Chicago is something I strictly do
not plan to know about until fur
ther notice.

JUNEAU - Seven measures specifically designed to tie in the Territory's program with the So- cial Security Act were passed by the Alaska Legislature, meeting in extraordinary session, and sub sequently were approved by Gov. John w. Troy.
 One of these acts has to do with administration of Old-Age assistance. Existing territorial Legislation on that subject was amended to conform with the re- quirements of the Social Security Act and provision was made for acceptance of federal money grants with respect to old-age as- sistance.
 Another act created a Depart ment of Public Welfare, which will administer old-age assistance as well as have supervision over the needy and delinquent child ren. Two measures transferred supervision of the needy and de- linquent children to the newly created department.

WAGNER ACT CAN AVERT STRIKES,
 AND SAVE MILLIONS

As if to emphasize the doars-and-cents value whi- oh the supreme courts Wagner act decisions can have for the U. s. stastically y-nded reporter has tabu lated the net cost of the years big automobile strikes in Michigan
 Altogether this reporter figured the four major auto strikes had total cost of S477 0O0,00O
 Autos worth some S267 100000 were scheduled to be paid out but were not paid. Industries supplying wheels glass, instrument boards and other equ pment to the auto makers lost business worth slightly less than $137,00O,000.
 But that does not tell the entire story The strikes cost the state of Michigan $1,629OOO in added relief costs national guard maintenance, and lost sales taxes The federal government lost $4200000 in excise taxes Michigan merchants and storekeepers lost something like $18,000 900 in sales during the strike period
 Altogether, this tabuation tells us what we already knew-that the strikes fearfully expensive all the way down the line
 What makes it interesting is it's relation to the Wag- ner Act decisions.
 The Wagner Act does not compel any employer to sign union contract. It does not force him to accept any terms that the union may place before him. All does egaZe the workers right to form unions with out interference and to bargain with their employers once the unions formed In cases of doubt it sets up machinery to determine whether a majority of men in given plant want union to bargain for them.
 Measured against the demands of some confident labor leaders, that Is not much. Measured against the background of the auto strikes, it great deal More important it is the sort of thing that the rife expense of of strikes such as the the auto industry has just had.
 For these auto strikes primarily organization al Demands made in respect to wages hours seniority and and in some concessions made along these lines but what really stirred the strikers desire that their right to organize and to bargain collectively be formally recognized The auto industry the citadel of the nonunion tradition; the workers set out to crack it.
 It is precisely that sort of thing from which the Wagner Act should Ha-billion dollar strikes to egtmize union organizations ought never to appear again.
 Much remains to be done, of course. good deal of wisdom and satesmanship is going to be necessary at union headquarters among other places But one very big for expensive labor fights has been moved.
