House Labor Bill
Is Put On Shelf
Committee Votes Is To IL
To Table Smith Measure
To Freeze Shops

WaShingtOn.-Long pending legiSla-
ton to expand the basic work week
from forty to forty-eight hours, to
freeze open and closed union shop CON
ditions and to apply curbS to contro-
verted practices of organized labor for
the wars duration was cast into the
discard today by Il Is to - vote of
the House Committee on Naval Affairs.
With it went legislative proposals
for setting statutory limitations on
profits made on war contracts. The
committee refused to separate profits
from labor proposals. They were tabled,
in effect killed, together.
TO make it's action final, the com
mittee voted Il "clinchcr,' tabling Il
motion to reconsider what ii had done.
This, said Representative Ninson, com
mittee chairman and co-SponSor, with
Representative Smith of Virginia, of
the original and substitute measures,
precluded further efforts to take to
the floor bills for statutory labor and
profits controls. Other committeeman
differed
Held Key Labor Legislation
The Ninson-Smith bill, in whatever
form it might have emerged from the
committee, was key labor legislation.
1t had by-passed the hostile Commit
tee on Labor, as it dealt with recon-
mendations made by the Naval body
serving as a national defense inveSti-
eating panel and supposedly was in
friendly hands.
Had it reached the floor it conceded
ly would have become the vehicle fOl
a general House showdown on labor
control proposals reaching far beyOnC
the scope of the legislation as drafted
Opponents of the labor provision of the
Vinson- Smith bill knew this and mus
tered their committee votes.
The death in committee Of this mea
, sure was held widely at the Capito
as having closed the door indefenitelA
upon labor legislation in the house
The Senate, while having labor mea
sures on its calender, is viewed a
| being i'm Il similar position.
| Several members of the Naval Com
mittee, looking back upon more thai
two months of testimony taking from
key government officials, labor leader
and representatives of business AM
! industry, fought To keep the legisla
ton alive, if only for purposes of per

remained to a House decision.
Motion for Tabling Pressed
The only way the labor provision
could be separated from the propose
system of profits control, Mr.. NinSo
ruled, was to table the bill.
Representative Bradley of PcnnSyI
vania, Il leader of the labor faction q
the committee. pressed his motion tina

Representative Flahcrty raised tn
question of committee jurisdiction hol,

NEW YORK, July 1.-There won't
be any fireworks hereabout July 4,
but there should be plenty at the
major league meeting two days later
when the boys start bringing up such
propositions as the travelling World
Series and Jack Zeller's no-spring-
training idea. From here Zeller's
suggestion of starting late and train
ing at home sounds good, but to
make the l943 season df any a
success, we favor playing week ends
only until the usual closing time.
Teams could play night or twilight
games Fridays, double headers
Saturday and Sundays, and do
pretty well. The players might even
take up Art Rooney's idea for the
pro footballers and get useful jobs
for the other five days. Travelling
could be cut down to wartime level
by separating the Eastern and West
ern sections.

Those local anglers trying their luck
today, the first of the season in
Maryland and Western Virginia, also
will catch more of these lesser spe-
cies because conditions are anything

Bay Folk Not Hard Hit.
Baymen and the Chesapeake Bay
country aren't finding the curtail-
ment of vacation travel hard, for
the building of war installations is
the means of an easier and better
livelihood. In other sections, such
as New England, many will find the
absence of fishing dollars hard
ship. Consider that last year the
expenditure in Maine alone was

stand what the curtailment of sports
fishing means to community ca
tering to it.

Petro Brothers Keen
For Debut Monday
As Pro Boxers
Sure to Find Paid Game
Real Match for Their
Puqnucious Tactics

Danny and Charley Petro, a cou-
pie of the f1ght'nest amateur ring
men spawned in neighborhood, are
going TO find the pro racket much
tougher than simon pure ranks
when they make their bow in paid
ranks Monday night at Griffith Sta
dium, but the consensus of the fight
mob is that they'll find it to their
liking.
Both have been in hot water with
the District A. A. U. almost con-
stantly during the last several years.
Not serious trouble, you understand,
just minor infractions like throwing
chairs at the judges and taking
swings at referees who voted against
them. That didn't happen often, be-
cause they won most of their bouts.
But you never knew what was COM
ing off when one of the Petro boys
was on the card.
Once Under Turner Ban.
Suriously enough, they're making
their pro debut under Joe Turner'S
wing. A little more than a year ago,
after one of their episodes at his tin
tabernacle, Turner pulled in the
welcome mat and stationed 200
pound bouncer at the door with in
structions that the first Petro to ap-
pear was to get the buns reception.
Joe wasn't angry with them, merely
trying to preserve peace and order.
The plan didn't work. He walked
inside the arena after the show had
gotten underway and found the
Petros enjoying the activities from
ringside pews. 1t seems that they
came in the back way aided and
abetted by friends.
And friends are one thing the lads
have plenty of. 1t has been a big
factor in their ring career. Danny
and Charley always get the biggest
and noisiest reception of any fighter
on the card. 1t seems that they
bring their cheering section with
them, often sitting with the gang ir
ring regalia while awaiting thell
turn and often joining the GROVE
Immediately after a bout without
changing back to street clothes
They want to tell 'em what hap
pened, what punches they used tt
best advantage and what a Ill tht
other guy was.
Call Brother Gentleman Jim.
Jim Petro, the eldest of three
fighting brothers, quit the game last
year when he entered American
University, and has not had glove
on since in formal competition
Danny and Charley are calling him
Gentleman Jim now, title he can
have all to himself. Personally
they'll take the fight game, the
bright lights and blood, the resin
and roar of the crowd. They love it.
and thrive on it.
But it may be different in pre-
ranks. Well see.

The Kansas City Blues, who

road trip, can credit Pitcher Al
Gettel with a big assist in having
kept them there the last 10 days.
The 6-foot right-hander has mace

The run was scored by Toledo, June
