West Defeated For
First Time In A. G..
Eastern Bowlers FindllY Are
Able To Turn Trick After
Years Of Truininq

The reign of all great kings must
some time come to an end. The
Yanks lost out last year; Notre Dame,
Pitt, Michigan, Minnesota and South
ern Cal. have all had to bow out as
head of the gridiron parade, and thus
did the West, perhaps mite over
confident after years Of uninterrupt-
ed success, fall by some 16S pins to
staggering Eastern delegation of
bowlers in Atlantic City last Thurs
day evening in the annual convention
match.
Trying to place their collective
finger on the trouble for their first
failure in a long series, the West has
decided that the blame should be
shouldered by Frank Hull who set
them up to "Cokes" early in the con-
test. The boys from the Trenton
district, not invited to imbibe, kept
their steady pace while their oppo-
nents floundered.
Boyser lead the East with a 22S
first game and a total 557 while
Dickey, with a $50, tried to keep the
West in the running.

Bethlehem Agrees
To Closed Shop
West Coast Ship Builders
Strike Is Nearing
It's End

San rancisco, Cal.-For the first
time in its history the Bethlehem
Steel Company at it's local shipyards
has agreed to sign union contract
including the closed shop.
The company acted upon recon-
mendation of the National Defense
Mediation Board which included the
closed shop in its formula for settling
the dispute between Bethlehem and
the Bay Cities Metal Trades Coun-
Gil.
Thus, the terms Of the Pacific Coast
master agreement for the shipbuild-
ing industry apparently are going
into effect at last. This agreement
was entered into in good faith by the
metal trades unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
and the great majority Of shipbuild-
ing firms on the West Coast, but the
Bethlehem Company refused to sign it
at first because of the closed shop
provision.
The company's attitude provoked a
strike which halted ship construction.
All of the metal trades unions, except
one machinists local, were prevailed
upon to go back to work on the
pledge of the National Defense Me-
diation Board to bring about a fair
settlement
Now that the Bethlehem Company
has agreed to sign the master agree
ment, it appeared likely that the ma
chinists may also come to terms.
In making it's recommendation for
the closed shop, the defense media
tion board explained:
"The Pacific Coast master agree
ment was the result of mature, COL
lective bargaining on an industry
wide basis. The weight Of the COM
pany's opposition to a closed shop
was overborne, in the opinion of the
board, by the fact that the master
agreement was arrived at by indus
try-wide collective bargaining and ac-
cepted and put into effect throughout
the entire industry, with the excep-
ton of the Bethlehem plant.
Under these special circumstances,
the board recommends that the mas
ter agreement be accepted and signed
by the Bethlehem Steel Company"
