BY PAT ROBINSON

international News Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK, July 24-That
most distinguished member Of the
Bash Boul' colony-the Hon. Mike
Strauss Jacobs-iS going to invite
the Duke of Windsor to attend
the Tommy Farr-Joe Louis fight
at Yankee Stadium on August 20.
The Honorable Mike said today
lie believes the duke. will accept
the invitation, because only yester-
day several members Of the Brit
ish nobility assured him they
would be at the ringside.
Among those who will be found
in the Honorable Mixes front pews
are the Marquis Of QueenSberTy,
Admiral Sir Lionel Halsey, former
controller of the Kings royal
household, and Earl Of Brecknock,
Wing Commander Sir Louis Grieg,
equerry of the Duke Of Windsor
when the duke was Prince Of
Wales, and Sir Noel Curtis Ben
nett.
These outstanding members Of
the nobility will not only lend dis
tinction to the fistic festivities,
but one Of them-the marquis
has assured the Honorable Mike
he will present the winner with
$4,000 gold belt, the gift of the
National Sporting Club Of London,
which is the most exclusive box
ing club in the world.
To Present Belt
In the back Of the Honorable
Mikes head is the thought that
the duke and his duchess-the for
mer Mrs. Wally Simpson-might
make such a trip an excuse for
their aforementioned visit to the
United States.
Before he donned the royal
robes as King, the Duke-then
Prince Of Wales-was q frequent
and enthusiastic attendant at the
fights staged in the National Sport
ing Club, and the Hon. Mike
realizes that even a royal fight
fan never loses interest in the
game.
The Hon. Mike said he expects
to fill his choicest ringside pews
from the roster Of the social
register.
"This," he said, will be the
claSsiest fight crowd ever gath.
cred in this country"
The Hon. Mike is already study
ing the nice distinctions between
an earl, a duke, a baron, a lord,
a marquis and whatever other
ranks there are, and the proper
manner Of addressing each.
400 Will Be Present
He is also debating seriously
with himself whether to have
society debs as usherS or members
of the polo set dolled up in soup
and fish.
In any event, the Hon. Mike
assures one and all that nobody
who is anybody will be missing and
anybody who is nobody will be
found out in the distant bleacherS
with the rest Of us mugs.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 49,
Two labor councils-one c. I. o. and
one A. F. of To-day ruled over the
union men of San Francisco, long a
stronghold of organized labor soli-
darity.
Representatives Of % c. I. O.-in-

men and warehousemen who were
custed from the A. F. of L.-controlled
Central Labor Council, sought a char
ter for a c. I. o. council
Meeting at the call of Harry Bridges,
Western G. l. o. representative and
head of the ousted stevedores, c. I. o.
delegates yesterday merged forces into
"solid front" to back the longshore-
men in their fight with A. F. of l.,
teamsters.
Since September l the teamsters
have refused to handle cargo to or
from San Franciscos water front.
They seek to force the stevedores into
giving up jurisdiction over several
thousand warehousemen organized
under the G. 1. o. banner.
Cargo movements have slowed per-
ceptibly on some docks, but shippers
expressed belief the embargo might
not result in complete shutdown be-
cause much cargo is moved by train.
Several leaders in the dispute were
in Long Beach today for the State
Federation OF Labor convention. Dave
Beck, western organizer for the team
sters, was back In Seattle after q con-
ference Of truckmen's executives.
