Dow Chemical Plant
Dispute Threatens
Magnesium Output
Picket Line Established
After Disciplinary
Firing of Worker
By the Associated Press.

6y tne hsSoClGLeo fEeSS.
Dismissal of an employe "for dis
ciplinary reasons" threatened today
to hamper output of magnesium at
the Dow Chemical Co plant at Mid
land, Mich, producer of rs per cent
of the Nations supply, as c. I. o.
union established picket lines.
William S. Knudsen, o. P. NJ.
director, telegraphed Gov. Murray
D. Van Wagner. asking him to
try 10 keep the plant open Com
pany officials would make no state
ment on how many of the $500
workers ignored the picket line of
the Chemical Division of the United
Mine Workers.
Meanwhile, on the West Coast, c.
I. o machinistS gave defense officials
some encourag cement by voting to go
back TO work in the San Francisco
Bay shipyards if they are given a
separate contract. A F. L. unions
If the same craft already had agreed
to return under master agreement
providing for sll2 an hour and
me-and-a-haf for overtime.
Some 1900 members Of the A. p. L.
and c. I. o. groups struck seven
weeks ago, asking for Sl.15 an hour
instead of 81. and for continuation
of double pay for overtime.
Zone Pacts Urged.
Sidney Hillman, associate direc-
tor Of the o. P. M, said the Govern
ment would try to establish zone"
agreements covering airplane man
designed to prevent
strikes and stabilize labor relations
N defense construction. Such agree
ments have been worked out in
shipping circles, to keep the yards
turning out bottoms for defense.
A two-year contract in the air
craft industry. providing for stabil-
ity in wages and no Interruptions of
work, is one of the objectives. Mr..
Hillman said, and would affect UP to
100000 workers.
At Port Huron. Mich. c. I. o. I'M
ion members walked out of a Chrys-
Ter plant which makes parts for
Army trucks. There was a dispute
over the disciplining of four girl
workers. Other workers charged
"unfairness," but the company said
the girls had refused TO work" The
plant employs 2,1OO persons.
Piper Strike Settled.
Settlement of strike at the
Piper Aircraft Corp, Lock Haven,
Pa. was announced by Federal ard
State conciliators. The strike be-
gan June l6 and affected 1900 en-
ployes who had been making small
planes used in the Government
civilian pilot training program.
Terms of settlement included
wage increases. The A. r. L. ma
chinists union did not get its re-
quested scent boost in the exist
ing 30-cent hourly minimum scale.
but the agreement provided that
production employees should start
at 80 cents and be increased within
two years to so cents an hour in the
case of men, and to IS cents, in the
case of women.

Round in Battles
BY the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 28.-Two
youths battle over the 36-hole
route today in the final of the 44th
national intercollegiate golf cham
pionship. one attempting to add the
title to his Pacific Coast intercol-
legiate crown, the other trying to
disprove that old adage that the
medaliSt never wins
The survivors of yesterdays semi
finals matcheS-both eXtra-hole af-
fairs for the first time in a major
tournaments history-were Ray
Brownell. 6-foot -3-inch Stanford
sophomore. and Earl Stewart, 150-
pound junior redhead from Louisi-
ana State, who copped the qualify
ing medal with 142, two under even
figures.
Brownell was six over par in the
semifinals as he travelled 40 holes
before ousting Danny Carmichael,
Columbus youth who graduated a
few days ago from Princeton, while
Stewart was six over par for the 38
holes he needed to eliminate Otto
Greiner, Baltimore University's ace.
The Stanford star closed out his
match with a 7-foot birdie putt on
the 4t0h hole, while Stewart got in
as Greiner missed a comparatively
short putt to keep the match alive
on the 38th.
A comparison of the cards of the
two finalists showed that, had they
been opponents yesterday they, too,
would have been all square at the
end of the regulation 36 holes. So
hot final competition was in pros
pect for today.
Tournament officials declared that
never before, to their knowledge, had
two semifinals matches gone into
extra holes.

Subway Peace Hopes
Pinned on La Guardia
Talk With Murray
New York Firms Make
Preparations TO Meet
Transportation Tie-up
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 28.-A glimmer
Of hope that the city's millions
might avoid a paralyzing transpor-
tatiOn strike tie-up next Tuesday
appeared today as Mayor La
Guardia and C. I. o. President
Philip Murray were reported ready
to discuss peace proposals in the
citys dispute with the Transport
Workers Union.
Private citizens and business firms,
however, viewed the possibility of a
threatened subway strike becoming
reality and began mapping emer-
gency plans Large industries pre-
pared to charter buses and auto
mobiles to transport their workers;
some arranged hotel reservat tionS for
employees living far from work.
Mr.. Murray was reported on his
way to confer with Mayor La Guar
dia in a last-minute survey of the
entire controversy. Michael J. Quill,
president of the union, repeated his
statement that no wheel will turn
on the transit system" after Mon
day without a signed contract for
$4,000 city-employed transit workers.
Union Demands Recognition.
CruX OF the dispute was the city's
refusal to recognize the union as a
collective bargaining agency. When
the city bought the private subway
systems last year and unified them
with the municipality owned system
the workers were embraced within
civil service. The city then said 1t
could not negotiate with the union
or recognize its right to strike
against the city.
The union is demanding recog-
milton and asking a s1-a-day wage
increase in 16 scales ranging from
S2496 a week to $50 a week. Work
week hours have wide range, but
most classifications are within the
44to-48-hour schedule.
Millions of daily subway riders
placed hopes for q truce on op-
timistic predictions by Mayor La
Guardia and Secretary of Labor
Perkins
Police Ready for Strike.
The city refused to reveal plans
for actual operation of the sprawl
ing transit system in event of
strike bllt ordered its entire force
of $4,000 police to be on the alert,
with probable assignments to guard
trains, buses, Streetcars, stations,
power houses. yards and shops, and
to regulate picket lines.
The New York Telephone Co. aug
mented its operator staff, chartered
buses to transport some, and OBJ
tained hotel rooms for 2.20O others.
Appeals were being made to pri-
vate citizens with cars to pick up
defense industry workers who are
employed on almost $500 900 900
worth of Government contracts in
the industrial areas.
Western Union planned to use
private cars for 1000 employees and
large department stores were con-
use of their trucks to trans
port their clerks.
Meanwhile, the Board of Trans
portation offered to renew broken
conferences with the union and the
t. w. U. offered to submit the dis
pute to arbitration.

The old-timer likes to think the
old days and the old ways were the
best. AS the years slip by he lets his
Imagination build up the stronger
spots and lop off the weaker turns
his ancient idols carried into action.
Certainly baseball's two most
famous stars for 80 years-from 1905
to 1935-were Ty Cobb and Babe
Ruth. Cobbs big league career
opened in 1905, Babes in 1914. For
more than 10 years their careers
oyerlapped.
Their counterparts in 194l are
Bob Feller and Joe Iii Maggie, Bob
Feller is, or should be, one of the
sll-time pitching greats. The same
rating applies to Joe Di Maggie as
hitter and outflelder.
Without attempting to rate the
value of Ty and Babe against Bob
and Joe, there is one department
at least where the old-timer can
expand his chest and prove his
point. This is the matter of color.
Cobb and Ruth packed an en-
iarged amount of personality IN
their playing systems. They had
flame. flare, dash. They caught and
held the fancy of the crowd.
Feller and Di Maggie are both on
the quiet, unobtrusive side who like
life better away from the mob.

The Treasury bulletin showed

The British still own roughly ST.

Old Come Wos Better,
Cobb Still Insists

Both are friendly, serious young
men who make their entire con-
tribution as a star pitcher and q
star outf1elder. They make no claim
or pretensions to any form OF So

Cobb and Ruth always have been
exactly the opposite. They were
actors as well as ball PLAYERS. Both
were on the exciting side. And a
big part of their crowd appeal mao
no particular connection with
mechanical skill. They had plenty
of that
It pains us to disagree with such
an old pal as Tyrus Raymond Cobb.
I was in Atlanta when Ty was IN
Augusta around 1904 or 1905, and
we headed North from the red clay
hills about the same date.
Ty naturally likes the "one run
at time" game best. He likes the
less lively ball. He has something
on his side of the argument.
But the modern game is more
dramatic. In the old days a three
or four run lead usually was de-
cisive. Today it may mean little,
and the crowd knows it. Both in
fielders and outfielders. especially
inf1elders, have to work at far
faster clip to handle whistling drives
that come their way. The home
run still is the main crowd thrill,
