214-265-227 for 706 in his singles

events with nine-game total of
1861.

The grand old man of Detroit
sports has decided to call it a day
and take life easy for a change.
But. you may rest assured. Tom
Mcmahon, a youngster of 78. is
not retiring voluntarily. For,
after 81 years of almost unhe-
lievable participation in amateur
and professional sports, Toms con-
stitution isn't what it used to be.
Tom is remembered best for his
% years of wrestling and as
worlds middleweight wrestling
champion. But oldtimers in De-
troit recall more wildly Tom S

tennial Little Four" rowing cham
pions. as a boxer, as a star third
baseman on the old Cass ball
team, as a living figure" trouper
in the theater, as Tiger trainer
and as a golf supervisor.

This year. however there is carryover, while year ago there was carryover of 750000 of fish in cannery warehouses, about 100000 cases being reds.
 AS far supplies for defense forces at home are concerned certain officials have pointed out that it will merely be matter of the boys eating their salmon in army camps rather than at home and there should be cutting down of civilian de- mand for salmon which will be made up oy increased army and navy demands. Salmon sales agencies, however deny this. Men in the service will eat more canned salmon than they do at home they point out
 Faced with these prospects, cannerymen may be thankful that the Alaska salmon run this year has good and that, at last report, there about | million more of fish in warehouses of Alas canneries than at the time year ago. Just the same, demands for fish for both Britain and U s. defense forces may mean a shortage of ,anned salmon for regular grocery store customers in this country and abroad, some believe.

For the Duration
(The Philadelphia Record)

(The Phlladephla RecOrd)
 Officers of American Federation of Labor unions in the building trades have signed truly historic agreement with the United States Government
 They have agreed, behalf of 100000 members, that there will be strikes on defense work over urisdictonal disputes "or for any other cause" for the duration of the present national emergency.
 This agreement will go long way toward head ing off drastic anti-strike legislation pending in Congress especially if it is followed up by similar agreements in other defense fields
 Admittedly, it is easier for the well-established construction workers to enter into such an agree ment than for unions in newly organized or unor- ganized fields such arplanes.
 The building employees work under union agree ments in nearly all sections of this country The agreement merely freezes the present set-up, and allows for flexibity by establishing machinery for the adjustment of disputes and new contracts.
 Yet the construction industry while well or ganized on the labor side is not highly organized on the employer side. Most construction work is still done by relatively small local contractors who are not banded into strong national group or even into strong local groups.
 However with the help of the Government. the building unions can undoubtedly force compliance with accepted local standards by contractors en- yaged in defense work.
 strike is serious a threat to con- tractor today than the knowledge that unless he complies he will lose all chance at Government con- tracts.
 In return, the contractor knows that he can make his plans without fear of stoppage-especaily rom the wasteful jurisdctional strikes that have been so prevalent in the construction field.
 The extent to which unions can enforce this new plan upon their members and their own locals is the next question. In the San Francisco ship strike, and in the North American Aircraft strike, national union leaders pleaded vainly with their members to retrn to work But for weeks the union strikers wouldn't obey their union leaders.
 This new building trades pact must be more han gesture to ward off anti-strke legislation It must be made to mean exactly what it says
 No strikes in defense construction for any cause during the emergency.
 The men who signed it obviously intend to make it just that They-and Sidney Hilman. who rep resented the Government-have laid the best pos sibe foundation for industrial peace in time Of crisis.

a month dues national headquar- ters takes $1, the highest per cap ita tax in the CIO. The locals say they are unable to operate on the 50 cents they get.
 The unions also assert that the New York UCW regional director, hand-picked by Denny Lewis, knows nothing about the construction in- dustry, has refused to employ an organizer for them with the $1 a month per capita tax they have to fork over, and has denied them the right to set up a council for joint action on common problems. V
 After repeated protests, Local 9l, largest of the New York group, last month finally refused to pay the per capita tax. Instead it, sent a $l token payment with a de- mand for reforms.

SALMON TO WIN THE WAR

One of Alaskas biggest stakes in National De- fense and aid to Britain is likely to be its Silver Hoard" of salmon, now running heavily in South east Alaska.
 Exactly what demands for salmon to Britain and more salmon to the defense army of this coun- try will be made the salmon canners is not yet definite. The Surplus Commodities Corporation has been buying the canned fish for Britain and the army and navy have been doing their own buying but with future big orders rumored, cannery sales organizations anticipating headaches and stories are rife that the buying procedure may be changed soon. It is believed that purchases by the govern ment may be made directly from canners, thus elim- mating any profit for middlemen
 It is the quantity of fish which will be required, however, which is of immediate importance to the cannerymen. preliminary estimate from Britain is said to have named 100000 cases the amount needed from the United States This estimate scaled down in Washington, D. C.. by government purchasing agencies, however, to about 100000 cases and later it announced that canned sal mon supplies for Britain will probably approximate little million cases, with the suggestion that about 750000 be reds.
 Guesses by canners to how many cases will be needed for American defense forces range all who have been watching closely the rate at which army and navy buying has progressed the past few months do not believe the demand will exceed half million cases unless the armed forces become engaged in some large-scae operations.
 In a far serious position Canadian canners, whose government has ordered that approxi mately 100000 cases of the British Columbia pack twill have to be forwarded to Great Britain" Further, this British order is being given priority all other sales Figuring Canadian pack of 100000 cases this year. which is more fish than many of the canners expect to see canned this would leave about 5OO0OO for Canadian domestic and export to other foreign customers
