Miss Perkins Invites
Armour 0fficia.,
Here for Conference
Seeks to Avert Strike
Which Moy Affect
147, 900 in Chicoeo

BY the Associated Press.
Seeking to avert threatened
strike in the packing industry, Sec
retary of Labor Perkins has ar
ranged to meet tomorrow with
officials of Armour g. Co. of Chicago.
The Secretary telegraphed an in
vitation to H. S. Eldred, vice presi-
dent in charge of operations, after
a ranking official of the G. I. O. had
informed her yesterday a strike
would be called Labor Day unless
the Government intervened to bring
about conference between com.
pany and union representatives.
Soon afterward, Armour & Co. an
nounced in Chicago that Mr.. Eldred
and a group of associates would
come to Washington tomorrow.
Van A. Bittner, chairman of the
c. I. o. Packing House Workers
Organizing Committee, and a dele
cation which said it represented 18
local Armour & Co. unions met with
Secretary Perkins for more than an
hour. AfterWard, Mr.. Bittner told
reporters he had asked that Presi-
dent Roosevelt intervene personally
to bring the two sides together for
collective bargaining conference.
I'VE have been asking for these
conferences for two years and have
been refused" Mr. Bittner said. I'VE
notified her miss Perkins) that If
the Government was not big enough
to bring about negotiations, we
would strike"
While the c. I. o. organizers re-
quest for collective bargaining con-
ference was aimed primarily at
Armour & Co., he told newspaper
men that if there was a strike, it
would be called against the big
four" packing houses-Armour
Swift, Wilson and Cudahy.
He estimated $4,000 workers would
be involved at Armour plants alone
and total of 147 900 at all four
houses.

however, with the likelihood the
order to blow and tow" would be
withheld until midmorning.
A 24-mile southerly wind kicked
up a bad chop on the surface Of the
sea during the night, causing Rear
Admiral Cyrus w. Cole, in charge Of
salvage operations, to delay giving
the starting order.
Using nine pontoons, one less than
the number called into play last
Saturday, when the $4,000,000 craft
was tugged from its muddy bed

salvagers hoped to hoist the Squalus,

Louis Talks Fight
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Joe Louis, the worlds heavy weight champion scheduled to com init modified murder upon the fat person of Two-ton Tony Galento the Jersey Juggernaut on the night of June 28 at Yankee stadium, usual- ly "says it with leather" but 1t seems the Baer-Nova thing was such a financial bloomer that Uncle Mike Jacobs has loosel up Joe's vocal chords to the end Of helping get a few more customers into the ball park for the modern David and Cos Hath match. billed as the worlds heavyweight championship bout. That's how tough things are.
 So, here'sa purported conversation or interview with Louis at his Pump ton Lakes training amp, given to you for what it's worth: What does Joe Louis think of his June 28 date with Tony Galento at the Yankeestadium?
 Ought to be good fight" says sbufflin' Joe. And what of Galento? That fat man is tough, and he can punch, to0."
 How often has he seen Two-ton Tony in action?
 "Three, four, maybe i've times, An see him whip Nation Brown in De- troit. An see him knock out some body on Braddoc-Baer card. An see him couple other times"
 Does Louis antiipate any trouble with Galento? "Ah dunno, but if there's any trouble, AhIl be ready for it." Suppose Tony starts his notorious rough-house tacticsa
 "Ah'u jus give him the same right back"
 Does he expect Gelento's short, squatty build to bother him? Shouldn't. Pauline an Ettore were stubby like Tony, an they didn't worry me none." But Pauline and Ettore couldn't punch as Galento can.
 'Uh-huh, that's so. But ah ain't gonna stick nah chin ou fo' him to hit"
 Does he expect to fiatten Gal ento?
 Can't say. That fat feller is tough an can take it. But ahn be in there tryin'." 1 Most of the experts aren't con- ceding Galento moh of 8 chance with Louis, and are freely picking shufflin' Joe to win in a round or two.
 "Maybe. An ain't maxim no pre- dictions yet. Any fighter weighin more'n 200 pounds an can punch like Gelento is dangerous. An gotta be in good shape fo' him." :.
 If he does dispose of Galento, will he accommodate Lou Nova in Sep- teinber?
 "Nova or anybody. Anybody Un- cle Mike (Jacobs) says. Makes no difference to me. An jus want to keep fightin'."

TWO TIME VICTOR. SEEKS TO TIE. GOLF|NC RECORD.
Odds May Drop to Al Aft. CT 6S Practice Round;
 Snead, Picard 8 to 1
BY LEO U. PETERsoN

United Press Stan C0rresp0ndent)
 Philadelphia, June 7--It looked more like Ralph Guldahl today as the field for the national open golf tournament fired away in final prac- tice rounds.
 Seeking his third consecutive open title, feat no modern golfer ever has accomplished, the big, quiet, confident Texan is the only entrant who has displayed more than a speaking acquaintance with Spring Mills tough par.
 He shot the course in 68, one under par, in one practice round and yesterday played nine holes in one under perfect figures. He pre- viously had pared the course.
 The entire field except Harry Cooper and Dick Metx have tried out the course and only Vic Ghezzi of Deal, N. J., has been able to join Guldahl in attaining theoretical per- lection. Ghezzi shot the course 1T, 68 Monday, but slipped to 8 Il yes- terday.
 The odds on Gulahl were expected to drop to about to 1 before the 165 contestants tee of tomorrow for the first round The defending champion still was listed at to l today, but his practice rounds and the fact that the course is built for his game probably will affect the odds. Should he drop to 4 to l he would become the third man in history to be listed at such a short price. The others were Bobby Jones and Gene Sarazen.
 Made To Order
 The long 6786-yard course places a premium on accuracy from the tee and on approach shots. The pough is treacherous, the traps costly Buldahl is noted for his accuracy from the tee and along with Paul Runyan is considered one of the best in the game with irons.
 Rated next to Guldahl in the bet ting odds were Sam Snead anc Henry Picard at 8 to 1. Bracketed at 12 to 1 were Harry Cooper, whe won the Goodall invitation over the weekend; Craig Dood, Dick Metz Ben Hogan, Ed Dudley and Byror Nelson. Cooper's odds probably VII be shortened to 10 to 1 because o1 his victory in the Goodall. A pereii- nial contender, there are many who feel this may be Lighthouse Harry's year.
 Five Pull Out
 Withdrawals cut the field to 16s out of the original ITO. Several oi the withdrawals came from districts where no alternates were chosen None of the name" golfers who qualified for the tournament ts among those who dropped out, how ever.
 Bobby Cruiskshank, the weather. beaten Scot from Richmond, Va. and Ghezzi turned in the best scores re- ported for yesterdays full practice rounds. Cruickshank, playing the course for the first time, matched the New Jerseys pro Il.
 Most of the field did not report scores, but the boys admitted hay. ing difficulty with par. Some played as many as four balls from each tee in an effort to get the "feep of the course.
