GaIento Takes EARLY Lead Floors Louis
Before Champ Wins by Technical K.O.
Bring on Dat
Bum Again. Says
Tony After Fight

NEW YORK, June 20.
(UP) = Tony Galento, as
game a guy as ever bled for
a lost cause, chewed the bit
ter fruit of defeat today and
passed his plate back for another
helping of the same dish.
Still groggy from trip-hammer
punches, barely able to humble
through the blanket of bandages
on his face, his torn flesh held
together by 90 clamps-the little
barrel of a man said he wanted
to fight Joe Louis again.
Waterloo was enough for Napo-
leon; Caesar gave up when the
first dagger sank into him; Han
nibal folded when the going got
tough. But, take it from Antonio
Dominick Galento, they were buns
all three of 'em-to give up be-
cause they had taken a licking.
Bring on dat bum Louis in
September"
That was the tired whisper
that came out of Orange, N. j,
in the early hours Of today, and
il came from the bruised lips of
first class fighting man who
was within one split punch
of being heavyweight champion
of the world last night i'm IL min
utes and 30 seconds of back-alley
brawling. Plenty of people prob
ably would pay to see terrible
Tony take another roundhOuse
swing at Louis jaw, but it's
sight that probably will be denied
them forever.
Louis, going his even, murderous
way, wants TO fight III September
but he isn't interested i'll meeting
a man whom he already pounded
to pulp. So within the next week
negotiations will get under way
for a September bout pitting Louis
against young Lou Nova. Tony will
be left with nothing but his men,
cries, the respect of all who saw
him fight and bleed-and the $45,-
900 he drew down for his briei
period of pain.
1t was short and sweet up there
under the lights at Yankee Stadium
last night, but while it lasted il
was something to see. Galento went
down and got up off the floor tt
belt Louis Joe went down and goI
up off the canvas to slug it ou
with Tony. To hell with waitins
for the count Of nine! To hell will
caution and the ancient rules o.
boxing! 1t was left to the head anc
fright to the belly and let the blooc
spatter where it may.
Referee Artie Donovan finally
halted it after two minutes and q
seconds of the fourth round wher
all 233 pounds of Galento wa.
sinking toward the floor in one red
raw mess of blood. There was nc
doubt about it-Tony was out.

TT was stopped just in time"
DIR. william Walker of the boxing
commission said. ut wouldn't have
done for Joe to throw another
punch" .....
A tough campaigner, Barney Ross,
said: "It made my flesh crawl, that
finish. Nobody who ever lived
could stand much more of beating
like that. AS it is, Galento won't
be right for weeks. A beating
around the head like Joe gave him
isn't something you get over with
a nights Sleep"
Louis neve, hit any of his VIC
Tins with more viciousness than he
did Galento in those closing
moments. Angered by the knock
down he suffered from left hook
to the jaw and a sweeping right
under the heart in the third round,
Joe brought all his guns into ac-
ton. He said so himself.
THAT was as hard as I ever hit
anybody" the champion drawled
as he sat down on his dressing
room table. Il was glad when Mr..
Donovan stopped it. That Galento
sho' is game guy
There is no denying that. Tony
proved he is game as he is wide.
He waded into the champion from
the sound of the first bell and for
the first round carried the fight.
The fat fellow got off the floor in
the second round after a terrific
beating and was strong enough in
the third to floor his tormentor.
He answered the bell for the
fourth fresh enough, but the first
punch in that round settled his
doom. AS he started to throw a
right Louis snaked in close and
pulled the trigger on his left hand.
The hook landed with explosive
force, and the flesh on Tony's right
cheek gave way as though he had
been slugged with blackjack.
When he reeled away under the
impact there was a split half as
long as Lead pencil running from
his cheekbonc to his chin. 1t bled
badly.
He didn't know much after that.
His motions became slow, mechanic
al, as he bobbled about the ring
with half closed eyes. Louis never
allowed him out of range. He would
straighten up Tony with an upper
cut and twist his head about with
rights and lefts. Suddenly Tony's
weak defense crumbled and he
swayed drunkenly. unknowing, un-
caring and a pathetic target.
There was the crack of leather
against flesh. Again and again.
You wanted to turn your head.
Then Donovan said enough, and
Louis had made his seventh success
ful defense of his worlds cham
pionship.
An amazing champion, Louis. In
seven defenses he has had to fight
but "a minutes and So seconds of
the 3l5 scheduled minutes. And
more than half of this time was
used in Is full rounds against Tom
my Farr.
Nova will be next. And after
Nova someone else and then some-
one else until. finally the years
cut Louis down.

WASHINGTON Z. Cover two hundred belhgerent and determined
representatives of national and international unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor met in the assembly room of the Washing
ton Hotel here in response to a call issued by William Green, president
of the Federation, converting the union leaders of the nations capital to
consider ways and means for protecting organized labor from the pro-
found assault made on wage standards by the action of Congress emitting
the prevailing wage rate provision from the section of the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Act of 1889 covering work coming under the Works
Progress Administration.
After listening to a statement by President Green giving the history
of the prevailing wage rate on WPA projects and vonng the determine
ton of the American Federation of Labor to protect the workers against
the injustice inflicted by the abolition of the prevailing wage rate in the
current appropriation bill, various union representatives told Of the
nationwide protests of union members against the slash in wages for
WPA workers caused by the action of Congress.
The conference then authorized President Green to appoint a COM
mittee to draft a report covering the emergency and outlining the course
of action to be taken to prevent the continuation of the wage slashes.
The report of the committee summarized the Importance of maintaining
the trade union wage structure, declared that hitherto the government by
legislation had supported the prevailing wage rate and insisted its con-
inuance on WPA projects was necessary to protect the interests Of
organized labor.
Fully realizing that the way to remedy the injustice was to secure. the
repeal of the provision in the current relief appropriation act aboishing
the prevailing wage on WPA projects and the adoption of an amendment
restoring i, the conference authorized President Green to appoint a com
mittee to present labors grievance to the President Of the United States
the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representa-
ives.

WpA STRIKE IN

On July z, the organized labor
movement of the country found
themselves confronted with a fed
eral law providing for the most dras-
tic and sweeping changes in u So
cial and economic condition that had
taken place through any one mea-
sure or group of measures in the
past fifty years. Business agents of
the various unions hastily called to-
gether what was known as Labor's
Emergency Committee, comprised of
delegates of each organization whose
members were employed on WPA
and ordered the following telegram
sent to their congressman and sena-
tors:
To: Senator B. K. Wheeler,
Senator James Murray,
Senate Office Building,
Washington, D. c.
Representative James O'Connor,
Representative ]. Thorkelson,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c.
At a meeting today of joint emer-
gency committee representing the
undersigned local unions, decision
made not to accept wages below
the union scale in this county and
that sponsors of WPA projects be
so notified. Also that we urge Mon
tana senators and representatives to
work and fight for revision of pres
ent bill to include prevailing wages
and elimination of 18-month dis
missal clause plus general improve
ment of WPA bill.

Immediately replies were received
from all of our congressman and
senators stating their opposition of
the measure and pledging their sup
port in amending it, and removing
the features most objective to or

On July IL, a mass meeting was
held at the high school stadium, at
which an estimated crowd of 5000
