WeIder Union Refuses
To Permit Women 10
Work in 5hipyard
San francisco Labor Unit
Says Lack Of Adequate
Facilities Causes Action
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Women going into war industry
not only have to overcome the
hesitancy of some employers to give
them Jobs, but also some tradition
ally men-only union to grant them
membership cards.
The latter hurdle was brought to
the fore today after refusal OF the
AFL Boilermakers and Wslders
Union to grant clearance to women
shipyard workers at the Sausalito
Yards of Marinship, San Francisco
The unions said the yards lacked
adequate facilities for women. Many
other women have been cleared for
shipyard work through various To-
Gals of the Boilermaker's Union,
though membership in the organi-
zation awaits results of Nation
wide referendum on the question of
accepting women welders, Ed Rain
bow, business agent, said.
An interview with Elisabeth
Christman, special assistant to Mary
Anderson, director of the Women's
Bureau, Labor Department, dis
closed that just as women have had
to inch forward in some professions,
they have had to do the same in
some unions.
Men like to talk about the pies
mother used to make, but when it
comes to pie-making as job, eS-
pecially on a large scale, well, the
Bakers Union just doesn't want any
womens hands in the dough" Miss
Christman said.
In the minds of the Bakers and
Confectioners' Union, baking bread
and rolls Is mans job, Miss Christ
man added. though the union has
admitted women to cake and crack
! er-making.
Miss Christman, who is on leave
as secretary treasurer of the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union
League, predicted, however, the
boilermakers would soften up" She
said that with laugh, but seriously
she added
Men workers and unions realize
that there is a production job to do
and they are going to see that it gets
done If there aren't enough mer
workers, then the womenn come

north of Stalingrad and its ar
tillery had destroyed many river

tions before Stalingrad and was
pounding Soviet troop concentra-

additional ground in embittered
fighting around the Black Sea port
of Novorossisk and along the Terek

Without the loss of a single pilot,

bombers and torpedo planes dam
aged huge Japanese battleship and
a heavy cruiser in a daring attack
today.
There were few dive bombers and
torpedo planes in the group which,
while seeking enemy carriers, came

warships just before sunset.
The dive bombers got one hit on
the battleship while the torpedo

The torpedo attack was made in
daylight by American Navy planes

any accompanying heavy attacks by
dive bombers.

Checks of Two Wisconsin
Women Coshed With Aid

TOMAH. Wis, Sept. ll.--Investi-
cations delved into military records
today for clue to the assault
slayer of two social workers who
calmly caShed their checks and
brazenly produced an Army identi-
fication tag to vouch for his identity.
The manhunt itself was pushed
not only locally and at nearby Army
camps but in neighboring States as
well. The military and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation co-operated
closely with civil officers.
Seen by Cafe Operator.
Miss Neil John Pietrangeli, 30, and
Miss Dorothy Baum, 80, left Kenosha
for Tomah by automobile Monday
morning Both had been shot.
Information linking uniformed
man with the ruthless assault came
from three widely scattered points
Yesterday. A Tomah cafe operator
told of seeing the fugitive drive away
in a car resembling Miss Pietran-
CELLS after cashing $40 check to
MISS BAUM.
Cashed Check at Bank.
A Chippewa Falls soldier, home on
leave from his Air Force unit, said
he apparently had ridden with the
killer as he fed toward Minnesota.
He said the man gave him lift at
Tomah about midnight Monday.
A LIE Sueur (Minn.) banker re-
ported that he had cashed a s25
check, signed with Miss Pietrangelis S
name and drawn on her account in
a Sparta (Wis) bank. The uni
formed man who offered it Tuesday
morning boldly signed it also with
the name of Robert Bailey, exhibited
an Army serial number, and said he
was Miss Pietrangeli's sweetheart
and authorized to use her funds.
