Who will be the referee? Greene
declared emphatlcally that he hasn't
even considered this matter yet.
However, many experts believe that
former Champion Jim Braddock will
be the unlucky fellow. Braddock,
Of Woodcliff, N. j., Is very popular
among the fans In this area. More
over, he Is q licensed referee In this
state. There Is q possibility, how
ever, that his friendship for oalento
and dislike Of Baer may prevent his

from Baer In 1885.

him.
ANY fool could see what's wrong
with that team" MacPhail said. I
nodded understandingly, but Mac
Phail went right on.
"It's Dickey and Ruffng. The big
catcher and the big pitcher. The
one amt hitting and the other amt

OF the Yanks for q long time. Up
until this year Rufiing has been the

win the big game. The .Yanks al

always paced the hltters. Until this
season Bill was the most feared man

Strike Settlement

Settlement, after a twelve-day
shutdown, of the Vultee Aircra66
Corporation strike under an agree
ment which seems to promise free
dom from future work interruptions
in this key industry is most well
come Development
Members of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations union, after
winning substantial wage increases,
have accepted new contract clause
which provides that during the next
sixteen months disputes which can
not be adjusted between the union
and the company will be submitted to
an arbitration board composed of
two members from the union, two
from the company and one neutral
member.
Presumably, this means that there
will be no strikes during the life of
the contract and that the findings of
the arbitration board will be accepted
as final by both employees and en-
ployer while the agreement is in
force. If this Interpretation is cor
rect, the new contract, since it prob
ably will serve as a precedent for
similar agreements in other aircraft
plants, is contribution of great i'm
portance to the promotion of national
defense.
There still remains, of course, the
issue raised by Attorney General
Jackson's assertion that the Federal
Bureau of Investigation has evidence
that the Vultee strike was inspired
and prolonged by Communist inf1u-
ences. If he is correct in this charge
which has been denied by strike
leaders-it follows that most
watchful eye will have to be kept on
activities of the suspected individuals
But in the meantime, it may be hoped
that the loyal rank and file in the
c. I. o. will succeed in cleaning it's
own house Of su5versive elements ard
that the two great factions in Ameri-
can labor will unite at least to the
extent Of supporting William Green,
A. F. of L. president in his declara-
ton that no strike, for whatever rea-
son called, can be permitted to inter-
rupt the production of war materials
for our own national defense program
and for the British.
