NEW YORK, June 6. CUPl-
Storm warnings fluttered along ia
cobS Beach today as Katy jenkins,
the piStol-packin' mama from Tex
as, re-entered the fight game.
Katy-eX-Wife of the ex-light-
weight champion Lew JenkinS-an-
nounced that she was returning to
pugiliSm as manager of a stable of
fighters and as the proprietoress of
training camp, if she could buy
a suitable camp.
Colorful Katy, an attractive little
gal in ceriSe suit with matching
carnations in her smoky brown
hair, done up Betty Cradle style.
hinged her announcement on the
/ purchase of a Well-knoWn New
York lightweight, Carmine Fatta.
Previously she had obtained Light
weight Harold Valan.
During the announcement lunch
con at the Hotel Abbey, Katy deli
cately refrained from mentioning
what she paid for her box fighters,
but guys in the know informed that
she had planked down "pah-lenty'
particularly for 25-yearold Fatta,
who is rioing a string of l6 straight
victories. 1t seems that Katy is in
the dough- having emerged from
her tiffs with ex-champion Jenkins
and Whirl in Florida real estate
with a B. R. of about fifty grand.
1t is rumored that she paid $4,000
cash to Manager Fred Amorosa for
Fatta'S contract. merely because she
had seen Fatta floor eX-huSband
Jenkins back when Fatta was SPAR
ring partner for Larrupin Lew who
was grooming for his successful title
fight with Lou AmberS at a Green
wood Lake, N. Y, training camp
in 1910.
Had Katy been affluent in 1910,
or even in Al, she might have paid
Fatta ten grand for dumping Mr.
JenkinS-noW in the coast guard in
England. The Mr. and Mrs. Jen-
kinS of those Gays gained almost as
much space in the New York press
with their marital brawls, as did
Johnny Weissmuller and Lupe Velez
in Hollywood. There was great hue
and cry, for example, in July, 1910,
when Katy jerked Lew out of the
GrosSinger, N. Y, resort where Lew
had been training for his unsuc-
cessful tilt with Henry Armstrong.
1t seems there was a young Spanish
gal dancing at Grossinger'S, who

Anyway Katy got divorced from
Lew in July 1912. Clutching her

Desserts Take Sandy Beach

The Dessert Seed team Sprouted
out CT the cellar into a tie for fourth
place Monday night when they
edged out the Sandy Beach sailors
3D. in a fast and thrilling game.
Opening the first night of the
fourth week Of the summer SOftball
series, the Salton Sea aerial tarS
were leading 10 until the third
inning when Clayier reached base
on an error on first. SoneS hit a
single driving him TO third and
Clavier scored when an error on
the centerfielder permitted Wyatt
to reach first base.
In the fourth inning Lee stretched
a single into three bases on an
error by the shortfielder Landry.
He came in on a long fly ball hit
to the left by FornaSero, Seed
pitcher.
This game puts the Seed team
in a tie with Sandy Beach for
fourth place. It gives the Marine
Group a sole hold on third place
and puts the Telephone company
and BaptistS in a tie for the cellar
position.

LOS ANGELES, June 6. up
He IS acknowledged one of the
greatest football players of all time.
He was an all-American at two
different positions. He is one Of
the toughest football players of all
time. He is the subject of more
football anecdotes probably than
any other football player. And
shortly after the middle of this
month. Bronko Nagurski arrives to
take up his assistant coaching dut-
les at the University of California
at Los Angeles.
Nagurski, who signed a one-year
contract. will be backfield coach
for the UCLANS, to whom he should
prove particularly valuable because
of his familiarity with the T-forma-
ton, not only as back, but also
as a line-man.
In 1929, NagurSki was picked on
virtually every All-American team
as tackle and back on others. His
double selection was odd in more
than one way. He played the entire
season at fullback except for 80
minutes when he tore the North
western line apart.
The Bronx then played pro-full-
back except for 80 minutes when
he tore the Northwestern line apart.
The Bronx then played pro-full-
back for the Chicago Bears making
the aIl-pro-team in 1882, 1888, and
1884 Last year. after a five-year
layoff, he rejoined the Bears and
helped them TO the prolific. aver
aging almost five yards per try.

Bronx to Coach

Among other things, Bronco has
been worlds wrestling champion.
Everyone has a favorite story
about Nagurski. The coast best re-
members him for the game he play
ed at Hollywood Gilmore stadium
in 1887 when he knocked little Cot
ton Warburton spinning as the mite
tried to stop him on one OF his
famous downfield rushes.
Then there's the Janus, possibly
untrue, but characteristic story of
the time Nagurski charged parti-
cularly tough opponent line, crossed
the goal line and ran square into
the iron goal posts. Nagurski picked
himself up, looked around and said,
Boy, that guy sure is tough"

Attention All Stewards

The AFL would like to take this opportunity to remind all Stewards (reps.) that they have a very real duty and obligation to perform for the men they represent in the pres ent layoffs. You should make your selves known to Mir O'Malley, AFL Chief Steward, when he comes to your departments to make any en- quiries into the status or ability of your men or women.
 If there are departments where there is no active steward, the men in the department should get together and elect qualified man to represent them in this matter. The AFL is trying to do a fair and square job for all the en- p1oyees but 1t is the business of each and every one of you to. see that you are properly represented.

Status of SMEU Representatives

Because of the many changes that so quickly develop in our Union there has been some confu- sion among the yard representa- tives regarding their standing as representatives during the affilia- tion process It is to be clearly understood that all these men who were elected into their positions by their own fellow workers shall hold their jobs under the name of Shop Stewards, pro tenn.
 We have come through long period of stress and strife which has been equally trying to all and those who have believed in Free American Labor and stuck by their Union can now rest assured the fight they have championed has succeeded.
 AF of L representatives have been sent from other labor centers to assist in formation of the new organization. They will make their headquarters in the Union offices and all stewards and other incer- ested employees may get inform ation and other helps from them. All SMEU representatives and E.. B. workers should take advantage of this and get all the printed mat ter that they have for you. It will then be an easy job for you to answer any questions on the AZ of L set-up, which has already done so much good.

AF of l. to Bargain For Members

Membership in the Ameri- can Federation of Labor will count first of all for consid- eration of any one individual or unit both in the coming lay-offs and in all shop bar gaining.
 The history of the AFl negotiating and bargaining committees in other ship yards and in fact all trades all over the nation and Can ada is an enviable record. It always has and always will mean something for a work CT to hold an AFL card in his pocket. It not only in : sures him of a job anywhere in the United States and the Dominion of Canada but it also assures him of a decent and honorable hourly wage, a wage that rewards and re- spects his knowledge of his trade, or craft.
 On Tuesday, September 18th, by popular choice the workers of the Electric Boat Company turned to the American Federation of Labor that through it's enterprise and per- sistent efforts in their behalf work ing conditions and wages might be lifted to a more equitable standard. They have done it before and they can do it again.
 All far reaching and foresighted Labor laws in both the state and the country were instigated by the American Federation of Labor. These Labor laws benefit all work CTS regardless of utilization whether 1 it be Independent, AFL or CIO. The AFL did not have to share this protection; they could have de- pended on their fair and strong contracts alone, but the vision of their leaders and the sincerity of these men led them to share the | feast with the lame, the halt and the blind. This great organization demanded fair labor laws and la bor protection for all.
 So, in all fairness to the Electric Boat members of our organization and the prospective members 1t is only right and just that our Inter national Union use the strength and influence of their organization for the interests of the membership

Union Charters To Arrive
 Soon

The AF of L has immediately taken the necessary steps to or ganize the various departments in- to their respective locals. A verit- able beehive of activity are the new AF of L offices across the street from the main gate where were formerly located the SMEU offices. AS the national represent atives and the local SMEU repres- ehtatives try to whip their organi- cations into shape many are the bits of gossip and the grievances brought to the ears of this busy group. Realizing the importance of quick solidarity both the na- tional and the local representatives are sparing no efforts to bring about this conclusion so that all the sooner the new locals and the Meetal Trades Council may be or ganiZed.
 It is expected that within few days the charters will arrive and that the first of the local union meetings will be held with election of officers and shop stewards inn mediately following.
 At these first meetings also will be discussed the closing of char ters to all who have not joined at that time and the setting of local initiation fee for future would be members.
 The national representatives told your reporter that they will strive to keep the charters open as long as possible to enable everyone to get under the wire but it would be difficult to be able to do this as the locals will have their own autonomy and may set an initia- tion fee anytime after their first meeting. The fee of course will be determined by the members of the local union and not the na- tional office.
 It seems to this, your humble reporter that by the time the first meetings roll around that the most of the E. B. boys and gals will al- ready have become members of the AF of l. and that they will not have to worry about initiation fee. These meetings should have good attendance because many important and vital issues will be decided upon besides the election of the proper officers.

the cOmlng layOI1S at E. |
 Any employee of the Elec- tric Boat Company who may be laid off in the future and who carries an AFofL card will find that the Union of flee will be open to him or her in seeking employment elsewhere in following their trade or if they want to work at another trade. This service will be rendered helpers as we'll as mechanics, and pro- visions have been made at nearby AFofL plants for those who want to learn a trade other than the one they have now or who want to con- tinue at their own trade.
 As nearly everyone has heard rumored, there will be quite a few of the present employees here at B. B. who will be laid off during the cutback which it is rumored will take place gradually and will eventually affect many of the men and women now employed at the Electric Boat. The American Fedora tion of Labor representatives hearing this rumor and con- stantly on the alert to take care of any of their members who may be caught in the cutback have taken steps to provide suitable employment for these men and women members in any one of the numerous AFofL shops in this vicinity or in nearby AF- ofL shipyards. This is only one of the many numerous ways that our new affiliate has to prove the strength and power of this experienced or ganization that we are now a part of. There are many oth- CT benefits to be derived from this great Brotherhood of the working people but right now the most important to us at least is being taken care of during the rumored com ing layoffs. Many a fellow worker at Electric Boat will be thankful that he or she had the foresight to join with this great and powerful Un- ion.
 Remember, now, that as soon as you receive your mo- tice of layoff to report it at once to your union office and if through grievance proceed ure you are not returned to your job at B. B. and your ease will be taken up with management if it has any merit then you will be given the opportunity to take up with your National Union representative the question of unemployment elsewhere suitable to you.
 Remember, be sure to re- port to the AFofL office if you are a member and you wilI Oet immediate action.
